Dermagist Hydrating Spa System Review and Giveaway

For Mother's Day this year I wanted to treat myself to a "spa like" treatment at home with the Hydrating Spa System by Dermagist. I wanted my hands, feet and body to feel good not only on the actual day but weeks before hand. I am one of those people that loves to put on lotion after a bath or shower. I also like to treat each area of my body, not just my face or legs. There are three bottles in the Hydrating Spa System. The body lotion for deep hydration and firming of your skin, the hand cream for removal of age spots and discoloration along with tightening of the skin, and my favorite the foot cream for soothing and relaxing your feet and combating dryness that occurs over time. I really did enjoy all of the treatments but the foot cream is my favorite, it contains Neem, Manuka and Karanja oil, Shea butter and Eucalyptus. After a long day my feet need it.

This set includes:

One Bottle of Hydropeutic Body Lotion

One Bottle of Hydro-Renewal Hand Cream

One Bottle of Foot & Heel Revitalizing Cream

As Mothers we tend to neglect ourselves in the pampering department, thinking you will get to it later or it can wait til later. This year make it about you! If you are looking to treat yourself, or have someone else treat you to a spa treatment this Mother's Day I recommend this at home system that you can use over and over again to help your skin feel great all year.

Imagine Toys Discovery Space Center Review and Giveaway

There are so many toys on the market to select from sometimes it can be overwhelming on what brand to pick and what types of toys to buy. My son loves make believe play. He can play for hours with his "guys" ("guys" are the action figure toys he has). He makes them fight, jump, fly, talk and dance. I have been looking for a toy that he can have as the hub of where his action heroes could play. Little girls have doll houses and little boys do not have many cool options. When I found the Hape Discovery Space Center toy online at ImagineToys.com I was thrilled to have an answer to a cool toy for my son.

My son can be rough with his toys and a few plastic toys did not survive a week in our house. The Discovery Space Center is made of wood with non toxic paint and very durable. He has pushed it over when there was a "monster alien attack" he has thrown the little space ship that launches from the top when it was blasting off and it has all stayed intact.

I love to encourage his imagination with toys like this one. He can make up little stories as to what adventures are happening. The toy is very interactive with a pulley system elevator, 3 astronauts, an alien and four levels of space center activities. We are planning a trip to a Discovery Space Center Museum locally and this is a great way to introduce the topic to my son in a fun way. He is learning and playing at the same time.

Imagine Toys has many wonderful options when it comes to Pretend Play toys. I think kids need more toys like this to help with their creativity development and story telling skills.

To celebrate the Spring and to encourage you to buy Pretend Play toys for your kids this summer when school is out we are hosting a giveaway for 1 lucky winner to win a Discovery Space Center for your own child or grandchild.

Sacramento Kennel Club Dog Show 2013

Sunday morning we attended the Sacramento Kennel Club Dog Show. I was so glad we were able to make it on the last day. My son had so much fun last year I knew this year he would be delighted to go. We were watching Good Day Sacramento on tv with a morning cup of coffee and saw the preview of the Dog Show. My son was so happy and asked to go so we jumped in the car and drove down to Sacramento.

I am happy we went! My son adores dogs, he always asks people at parks if he can pet their dog. He gets the biggest smile on his face. Since we moved and had to find a new home for our dog ( you can red the story about that here) my son has asked about our dog a lot, he still calls her his dog and when he sees a black lab he yells her name. It breaks my heart! I knew he would love to see all the dogs at the show.

He was so excited for all the different dog breeds. He asked what kind they were and what their names were. He got many dog kisses lol which for him was awesome! He got to shake some paws, give a few high fives and petted so many dogs he could not stop smiling.

Last year his favorite dog was a Great Dane named Patrick. This year we met the sweetest, mellow dog I have ever met, Anya. She is an Anatolian dog that originates from Turkey. Anya's owners were just as sweet as she is! They let my son pet her, shake her hand, look in her mouth at all her teeth, mess with her paws, touch her tail and the dog even laid down to get belly rubs! My son did not want to leave the dog. The owners live and breed the dogs on Rare Breed Ranch in Northern CA. It was nice to meet breeders that were from Cali.

Anya the Anatolian dog. She is so mellow!!

Another Dog from the Rare Breed Ranch, Boris

He did a few crying fits since after all he is 3 1/2, he wanted to get in the ring with the dogs. He put his little hands on the gate to watch as close as he could without getting in there and a volunteer came over and told him dont touch the fencing and gave me a look. He loves dogs he cant help it! :)

My son took this picture. He wanted to pet them then take a pic lol

He cried again when he could not pet EVERY dog he saw. The poor kid would have stayed all day petting dogs if I let him. We were there a few hours and when we left he asked me pretty please can we go back. I am glad he had so much fun. I am hoping by next year he will have his own dog to go home to.
