Diono Radian RXT- giveaway from Just Kids store Review

The Diono Radian RXT, I won from Just Kids store arrived last week! The kids were so excited to see it sitting on the porch after we got home from school pick up.

C-man was so happy his new seat was here. He was most happy that it had a cup holder....lol!

I will admit when I first opened it up I was a bit nervous. I have only ever bought Britax or Recaro for the kids. The Radian just seemed too small too compact and I worried I wouldn't feel like it had enough protection for my big guy.



My husband ended up installing it for me. It was one of the easiest installs he had ever done. Super fast, easy to get it tightened and level. I had originally not liked the harness strap pads. I  clearly just was not putting them on him right when testing it in the house. Once it was in and we put him in it. He instantly lit up and was so happy. He loves the camo color and he especially loves the cup holder that he didn't have in his Recaro Signo G2.

I have found that the harness pads actually make it a ton easier getting him in and getting the chest clip in the correct place. I never have to readjust them, they are always right on when we get in the car.

The Radian does sit a lower than the Recaro Prosport that his twin sister is in, but he doesn't seem to mind. He can still see out pretty well.  We do have the problem of his head falling forward when he falls asleep so I need to do some research there and try a few things to see if I can get his head at a better angle when sleeps. Otherwise this seat is a great seat and I would recommend it to anyone!

Braun’s perfect 2-in-1 powerhouse for your face - Free to test from Braun

I recently got Braun’s perfect 2-in-1 powerhouse for your face for free to test out from Braun. 

The first thing I tried out on it was the epilator. It was more painful than I had thought it would be on my lip so I tried it on my eyebrows. Still there was a sting, but I am used to it just from plucking my eyebrows, so I went with it. I was doing ok until the skin on my upper brow bone got caught between the attachment and the side of the tool. I will admit I freaked a little and managed to get it turned off. Luckily my skin came right out of that area and there wasn't a cut, it was just a little red and crimped. I wish it was easier to see what you were epilating on your face. It's a little too big for your eyebrows with im my opinion.

I did however LOVE the facial cleaner part. I love that I can use it in the shower and love the way my skin feels after I use it. I really need to work up the courage to try the epilator part again, b/c the areas I did use it on it worked well on. I am sure with more practice it will not be as awkward as it was the first time.

Mr. Sketch Scented Holiday Markers (Free test product for smiley360)

We received our FREE Mr. Sketch scented Holiday markers from Smiley360 yesterday! In the package was 6 Holiday scented markers and a $5 gift card to walmart to purchase more! We were asked to try out these new amazing markers for free and to give our opinion of them.

All four of my kids have been waiting to try these out, since they all love the "farting blueberry" commercial as they call it...lol! The markers smell so yummy and the kids cannot wait to make some christmas cards, crafts and letters to Santa with them. 

A huge thank you to Smiley360 and to Mr. Sketch! I will update with Pictures of the kids crafts as soon as they get them done.
