3D Maker by Tech 4 Kids:

With 3D Maker, kids can turn gel designs into 3D creations! Trace your designs on a template and insert it into the Maker. The gel becomes solid after enclosed exposure to LED light. Kids can connect finished pieces together to build multi-dimensional structures. The 3D Maker is unlike any other maker system, using light instead of heat for kid-safe play. The gel is available in multiple colors and the 3D Maker comes with an assortment of boy/girl templates including; Princess, Under The Sea, Construction and more.

Our kit came with the 3D Magic Maker Main Unit, 3 gels: orange, red and green, 3 molds: fish, turtle, dog and 3 stencils: bridge, fighter jet and car.  The directions were simple and the kiddos had their first creations within just minutes.  With the amount of gel the kit provided they were able to make a 3D turtle and fish and a 3D bridge and fighter jet.  They may have been a little heavy handed with the gel on their first creation (the fish) so they ran out of gel before they could try all of the molds.  I'm sure you can purchase refills and more stencils and molds so that you can extend the life of you 3D Magic Maker:)  The 3D Magic Maker is battery-operated and safe for kiddos 6 and up.  Both of my crafty kiddos give it 2 thumbs up!

MSRP: $39.99

We had the chance to review 3 fantastic products from Nourish Organic:

Face Toner- A refreshing blend of rosewater & witch hazel

-Organic formula cleans and refreshes skin without over drying

-Rosewater and witch hazel soothe and balance skin

-Removes impurities without stripping skin of essential moisture

-Refresh and balance your skin with this gentle, non-irritating toner. Formulated for normal to dry skin, the invigorating combination of rosewater and witch hazel instantly fights visible signs of fatigue from the first application, without causing redness

This toner left my skin feeling amazingly clean and fresh and it smells just lovely!

Renewing Eye Cream with Avocado Oil and Argan Oil

-Avocado Oil deeply nourishes the sensitive skin around the eye

-Moroccan Argan Oil, packed with restorative fatty acids, replenishes the skin

-Advanced formula and novel applicator reduces puffiness and dark circles

-Revive tired eyes with our fast-absorbing, nutrient-rich Renewing & Cooling Eye Treatment. Avocado and Moroccan Argan Oil condition and hydrate the skin while our innovative cooling applicator helps reduce puffiness and dark circles. Ideal for normal to dry skin.

This eye cream is a miracle worker!  Just moments after using it, my tired eyes looked refreshed.

Skin Solve Cream-to-Oil- Improves skin’s appearance and texture with a quick-absorbing,

fast-acting blend of plant, fruit, and flower oils and butters

This quick-absorbing blend of shea and pumpkin butters, coconut oil, sweet orange and rose hip can be applied neatly all over the body.

Skin Solve was my favorite product from Nourish Organic.  I usually use a lotion on my typically dry/combination face, not an oil, but this cream-to-oil product is amazing!  It moisturizes with a quick-absorbing blend of oils that leave my skin feel amazingly soft and even, not to mention super moisturized for the whole day!  It is super gentle and my sensitive skin loved it!

Nourish Organic has a fabulous selection of face and body products that are made with good-for-you ingredients!

F.A.S.T. Relief From What Ails You!

**Complimentary products received in exchange for our honest review.  All opinions are ours and ours alone**

What is F.A.S.T.?  First Aid Shot Therapy...pain relievers that are fast acting, easily absorbed and don't taste half bad:)

No pills, no water, no mess – just open your F.A.S.T. and swallow!  You will start feeling results within minutes of taking this shot since it can be absorbed into the bloodstream up to 5 times more quickly than standard pills. 

Our review package included 2 Pain Shots, a Heartburn Shot and a Hangover Shot.  All of these shots have FDA compliant active ingredients and flavors like berry(Pain), peppermint/ginger/chocolate(Heartburn), and citrus(Hangover)

Pain- Offers a different kind of pain relief by combining Choline Salicylate (a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug - NSAID) and Caffeine (pain relief aid)

Heartburn- Offers an effective kind of stomach relief by combining Calcium Carbonate and great natural flavors into a pleasant tasting peppermint & ginger (with a hint of chocolate) easy to swallow shot

Hangover-Offers a different kind of pain relief by combining 870mg of Choline Salicylate (a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug - NSAID) and 65mg of Caffeine (pain relief aid)

I have used both the Pain and the Heartburn shots and can vouch for their efficiency.  They started working quickly and completely each time.  Fortunately, I haven't had to try the Hangover shot, but I'm sure it works just as well as the others:)  These would be great to keep in your purse, desk or medicine cabinet for quick, dependable relief wherever you need it.
