The Amazing Spiderman 2 comes to theaters this May! Can you believe it is almost here? It is going to be a fantastic movie and perfect for the whole family. If a lot of action, crafty villains and a few explosives will give your family a thrill then you are going to be as hopped up as we are.  I was so excited when I heard about an unique opportunity to share a Family Discussion Guide surrounding the movie.  This was created as a resource for families like mine to discuss those important themes that are key to this movie.  Themes that go right to the heart of what many of us are trying to teach our children.  It allows you to broach subjects like the relationship between personal choices and destiny, living a life that counts, sacrificing yourself in service to others, and the nature of power. These are all so important for children to understand and this guide will help parents start those conversations with their children.  Hopefully these kinds of regular discussions will inspire them to think outside themselves and challenge them to live lives that really matter. The conversations that will result from using this guide will reveal that even the most explosive summer blockbuster can leave lasting, positive impacts on its young viewers.  Don't you think this sounds amazing? What could be better!

About Spiderman

But in The Amazing Spider-Man 2™, Peter Parker finds that a greater conflict lies ahead. You can get more scoop on this great movie through the official website, Facebook and Twitter!

I was not financially compensated for this post.  The opinions are my own, based on my personal experience with the product.  However, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

I was lucky enough to recently preview an amazing new family friendly game that your kids are going to love. This is a fun and exciting game that you can feel comfortable about the kids playing. MyDream Family Edition is mydream.com/family.  Next week, I am going to have some beta key codes that so all you readers will have the chance to win free MyDream early access. The beta version currently costs $5, and similar to Minecraft, the retail version will run around $29.99 or so. I think that is very reasonable for a safe, kid-friendly game.

MyDream currently has a Kickstarter campaign that ends this Friday night. Kickstarter is all about voting with your dollars. It would be fantastic if you  can support the mission to create a game kids can play without parent worry.  You can contribute  on their Kickstarter campaign before Friday, April 11.

Check out some of the stunning game images. The game includes beautiful sunsets, sunrises, starry skies and varied building types for historical genres with corner pieces, cornices, specialty fencing and Roman Greco columns for amazing doll houses and virtual castles.  You know the kids are just going to go nuts over this game. There are the historical worlds, but kids and parents can also create a new world of their own.

They even have a MyDream Forum up and running already so you can get more scoop there. 

They already have 10K+ Twitter followers, tons of FB friends and many more registered users so you know this is going to be an amazing game. Let me know what you think and consider a contribution!

Rainbow Braid 2400 Refill Kit Loom Activity Review

Disclosure:  I received the Rainbow Braid 2400 Refill Kit complimentary in order to review it. I was not financially compensated for this post.  The opinions are my own, based on my personal experience with the product.  However, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

Do your children enjoy crafts and creativity games?  They might already be familiar with the popular loom brands like Rainbow Loom.  Those pretty colored rubber bands go fast when the kids get full of creative energy though but I recently found a perfect solution. Rainbow Braid has a Refill Kit that is full compatible with all kinds of rubber band looms.  They just got their new website set up so now you can buy direct too:  http://shop.rainbowbraid.com/

Rainbow Braid 2,400 Refill Kit is available on Amazon so you can get them shipped to your house fast too. Each 2,400 piece Creativity Loom Refill Set has plenty of supplies to keep the kids busy on any rainy or even snowy day.  You receive 200 each of 12 different gorgeous colors including Solid/Neons (Red, Orange, Light Green, Green, Light Blue, Purple, Rose, Pink), Glow in the Dark (Yellow) and Bolds (Black, White) I love that Rainbow Braid stands by their 365 Day 100% Money Back Guarantee.

You receive individual bags when you order from Rainbow Braid so no worries about color bleed with bands rubbing. It also makes it super easy for kids to organize themselves. They also have reduced that rubber band odor via special airing process in manufacturing & bags designed with airing holes.

This is a great way for kids to express their creativity and hang out together.  I have seen girls and boys with looms too.  This is an activity that is perfect for kids of all ages too. It is a relaxing and fun activity where kids can come up with new designs and make jewelry all their own. A much better way to spend time individually or as a group versus on those computers, phones and laptops!

Beauty Box 5 April Subscription Box Unboxing Event @beautybox5 #bb5fave

Disclosure: I was not financially compensated for this post. I received a sample of the product for review purposes. The opinions are my own, based on my personal experience with the product.

Beauty Box 5 is an amazing subscription beauty box sampler that is delivered right to your doorstep (or mailbox) filled with a combination of 5 brand new cosmetic samples monthly, quarterly or annually. You can start out at just $12 a month or save more by getting a longer subscription. Signing up to receive Beauty Box 5 each month is a great new way for anyone from teens to moms to sample new cosmetic products and see what works for you.  Each month they include tips and tricks for the products on the back of this little card below to help you get the most out of your beauty samples each month.
 

Beauty Box 5 shared with me that they are always looking for the inside scoop on hot new items to make the best matches for your own personal taste and lifestyle.  The prices are reasonable too. You can get a Beauty Box 5 monthly for $12, quarterly for $30 or annually for just $99.  Shipping is always free.  A fun way to check out lots of the new beauty stuff out there without a whole lot of $$ investment. The great part is that if you like something, you can just up and buy the full size item, right?  Much better than buying a full size you-know-what-beauty-item and paying a fortune and then it sits in the makeup bag gathering dust because it doesn't work for you.

Beauty Box 5 mixes it up with their brands and keeps things adventurous. They source from a mix of niche, luxe, regular drugstore, vegan and eco-conscious brands.  One month you might get hair care, nail care, makeup, skin care, fragrances or even beauty accessories or a mix of any of the above.  I love the suspense!  You will get a carefully curated blend of travel, full-size and deluxe samples from their most current collection.
 

I just received the April Shades of Beauty Box.  Like all of us they are busy ladies at Beauty Box 5  but we all know that sometimes you need those beauty extras.  Think about taking some leisure beauty time and enjoy yourself...get a breezy spring look to boot. Here is the scoop on the fresh goodies that were in this cute little box:

It has been a REALLY long winter. I am so excited about wearing short sleeves and cute dresses and ditching those tights. One problem that is already looking a little better after Day1 is some color. Forget those tanning beds...they are so unsafe and who needs to up their risk for skin cancer? Jergens has a hot new product that will get you glowing in 3 days. I have used their Natural Glow products in the past year or two but they never gave you glow in 3 days. I am excited because I see some nice, even color after day 1. One tip: I always exfoliate really well prior to using any self tanning product. You will notice the difference.  Jergens Natural Glow smells fresh and light and I didn't have any issues with streaks.  $9.99 for 4oz is a good value especially since it works pretty fast.

The next product in the box is so cute! blum All Purpose Cleansing Wipes. These are citrus scented and can be used on your face or body.  The container is just right to stash in my purse but I could also see keeping it in your desk or tote bag too. They are gentle and felt good on my face. Got all the mascara, lipstick and eye makeup off in a flash last night. Perfect with those hot summer days on the way too. I will be picking up some more of these! These are only $2.49 for 30 wipes. A great deal.

Bonne Bell Lip DeFiner is a perfect match with the lipstick below. Bonne Bell is a classic name that has been around forever. It is a bright color that really pops for spring. It is perfect when you want a really defined lip. My fave tip is to fill in the whole lip with the liner then put the lipstick on. Excellent staying power.  It is only $3.95.

Nicka K New York Hydro Lipstick is perfect paired with that lipliner above. This is a bright red color that looks very sophisticated and is totally on trend with spring colors this season. It goes on smoothly and is very moisturizing. I have gotten several compliments on the color this week. It really stayed on very well when I paired it with the lipliner. $4.99 for .12oz tube.

The last item in this fun April box was the California Collection Eyeshadow Palette from bhcosmetics. I love the colors...very pretty and perfect for summer. I am going to be using this for weekends down the shore. 

All in all a fun box and perfect for spring renewal. Don't forget to join Beauty Box 5 and get in on the fun.  You can spread the news on Instagram and have an opportunity to win full-size versions of these products too! Don't forget to tag @beautybox5 and #bb5fave so they know who was spreading the love!
