Go Fun Face Makes The Coolest Masks!

Go Fun Face has provided me with these masks in exchange for an honest review.

These masks are the coolest things ever!  They are very comfortable to wear because they are made of durable, washable foam rubber.  So there are no hard edges to dig into your head or face.  And they are not heavy at all, so you can wear them comfortably for hours.  They are available in a variety of animals and colors.  They would be perfect to wear for Halloween parties, festivals, concerts, sports fans, cosplay, Team Mascots, or just to play around.  My children loved wearing the masks and pretending to be the different animals.  The masks are available in the form of a wolf (available in four color choices), panda, bear (available in two color choices), monkey (available in two color choices), lion (available in five color choices), dog, tiger (available in three color choices), shark (available in two color choices), pig, horse (available in two color choices), falcon and dragon (available in four color choices).  

These masks are so unique.  I have never seen any others like them.  I know it's a little early, but I plan to build Halloween costumes around the ones that I received.  You will definitely stand out at any party or event if you wear one of these.  Everyone will want to know where you got them!  The masks are top quality in both appearance and workmanship.  They retail for $22 each and you can purchase them from the Go Fun Face site HERE .

Easter is Coming- Enter to Win $100 Target Gift Card

Hosted by Product Review Cafe & Reviewz & Newz

  Easter is quickly approaching and we all have those baskets to prepare and some even have clothing to buy for special services that we may choose to attend. What better way to celebrate than with an extra $100 to spend at Target in your pocket? Our boys love Easter and growing up it was always one of my very favorite holidays. I enjoyed spending time with all of my cousins and dressing up in fancy clothes (complete with lace trimmed socks) and then gathering for a family meal. Those memories are the highlights of my childhood. These days things are not quite so fancy and while we do dress our boys up to go to church and they get an Easter basket we like to keep things a little simpler these days.   What are your favorite Easter memories growing up? I enjoyed the egg hunts a lot with my Dad's side of the family and as mentioned of course the dressing up part was always fun for me as well. Any plans this year? This post is all about Easter and how you choose to celebrate. Hey-- You might just want to stash your gift card away. Either way, it is your choice. We wish all entrants the best of luck and hope that you all have a Happy Easter!   What are your favorite Easter memories growing up?

Jabuka, the Twisting Alphabet Game

Jabuka is a word game that looks like a sack full of coffee beans (the shape was actually inspired by an actual coffee bean).  This is because it comes with letter tiles that are shaped like coffee beans and stored in a little burlap sack.  Recommended for ages 8 and up, you need 2-8 players for this game.  Some of the letters can change if you turn the "bean".  For example, flip a "W" over and it becomes an "M".  Turn it sideways and it becomes an "E".  The cool thing is it's totally organic with no game board and no word grid.  The special morphing letter beans can twist and turn to change the letters and create new words!  The person who uses the most "beans" and shouts "JABUKA!" is the winner. The great thing about this game is that you can steal you opponent's words by building them up further or even changing them around and adding to them.  This is perfect size to carry with you for camping trips or family getaways.  A word of warning though, it is addictive!  You'll find your self caught up in the excitement; stealing words from the other players , laughing and having a blast.  Even my 5 year old is able to play a simplified version of this game.  Too often these days children spend their time on the computer, phone or tablet.  It's nice to have a game for family game night that requires no computer interaction at all.  We need more games like this so children can learn to be less dependent on technology.  Jabuka retails for $20.00 and can be purchased from their site at  www.jabukagames.com   or you can purchase it HERE .  

Metallic Olive Pen from the Loom Collection by Graf von Faber-Castell

Graf von Faber-Castell provided me with this ink pen to review.

I absolutely love this ballpoint ink pen from Graf von Faber - Castell.  The top is a metallic olive color with a silver clip and the bottom is silver as well. It is from their Loom collection.  It has a slightly curved form and the rings around the bottom part provides a nice gripping area.  There are seven rings around the barrel to provide an ample grip.  It feels very comfortable in my hand when I write with it.  It has a chrome plated polished metal grip, with embossed grooves for comfortable writing posture.  The clip is spring loaded and is made of the same chrome plated polished metal as the grip.  To bring the writing tip out, you just twist the barrel.  It writes in black ink and is fitted with a large capacity black refill.  This means that it will last longer before needing to be changed, which is always a plus if you write as much as I do.  It comes in an elegant gift box that is perfect for gift giving.  It writes very smooth.  It seems to glide across the paper with no noticeable skipping.  It has written smoothly on every type of paper I have tried it on so far.  Often times ink pens will have trouble writing on glossy paper, but not this one.  It hasn't failed me yet.  The only problem that I have encountered with this pen is that my daughter keeps stealing it from me.  She loves it as much as I do.  Graf von Faber - Castell has a wide selection of fine writing pens available on their site.  You can choose between ballpoint pens, rollerball pens and fountain pens.  They have several color combinations available as well.  Just browse their site to view their selection.  The ink pen I received retails for $45 and you can purchase it HERE .

Is it a plushie, or a hoodie? It's both! It's Cubcoats!

Cubcoats has provided me with this product for review.

Cubcoats is a plush character that transforms from a pillow type plushie into a hoodie.  There are many styles available.  A few of the animals are panda, fox and tiger.  They also have characters such as Minions, Mickey Mouse and Chewbacca.  There are many more, the one I received is Spiderman.  My son loves Spiderman.  He loved this when I gave it to him and he thought it was just a plushie.  But then when he found out that it would transform into a hoodie, the look on his face was priceless.  He was so excited!  They are soft and warm.  Transforming it into a hoodie is a simple process.  These images are taken from their website to show you how to transform it.

To transform into a hoodie, you flip it over and unzip the back.  Then you pull the hoodie out and unroll it.  Tuck the character away inside the hood and it's ready to wear.  My son looks so adorable in this and loves it so much that I just might have to buy some more of them for him.  In addition to the ones I mentioned above, they have the following:    the animals are kitty, puppy and bear.  The characters are Black Panther, Poppy The Troll, Minnie Mouse and Darth Vader.  These would be great as an outdoor costume for Halloween as well.  They would be able to stay warm without detracting from their costume.  They are so cute that I wish they had hem in my size!  But unfortunately they do not come in adult sizes.  They come in children's sizes ranging from 2-8.  The retail price for the animal styles is $45 and for the characters it is $50.  You can purchase them HERE .
