My Review:

I received the Ceramic Salsa Bowl, “Mexican Spice”, from Mexico.  The artist is Javier Servin. 

It measures 3.9′ H x 6.7″ W x 4.7″ D.  It came with a small tags that says…

“Mexican Spice – Orange Blossoms add a spicy contrast to the turquoise and cobalt blue composition of this salsa bowl.  in Javier Servin’s design, the hand painted motifs create raise textures over the bowl’s cool ceramic surface.”

It’s a beautiful bowl and I can’t wait to use it! 

I also received a Leather Centerpiece, “Triangular Essence” from Peru.  The artist is Johnny Jimenez.

The leather bowl measurements are 2.6″H x 7.9″W x 7.9″ D.  The tag that came with this leather bowls says..

“Triangular Essence – Johnny Jimenez captures the artistic essence of geometry in the design of this handsome centerpiece.  He tools it of quality leather in a triangular shape featuring shiny iron studs at the center.”

Again, another beautiful piece.  My husband has confiscated it for himself to drop his keys and wallet in.

CapSac Review

Faith and Family Reviews received the following product in exchange for writing a review. While we consider it a privilege to receive free products to review, our reviews are our honest opinion and thoughts of the product.

 

The Cap Sac is essentially a fanny pack for your head! What an innovative idea! We received a cap sac for kids. The hat is 100% nylon with a zipper pocket on the forehead section. My daughter (2 years old) LOVED the product! The color caught her attention as soon as she took it out of the package (bright yellow)! But, the draw was the pocket on the top of the cap where she could stash all kinds of goodies! My daughter is a pack rat and loves to carry around a purse with toys and crayons inside, so this was perfect. There really were no downsides to the product in my daughter’s eyes. As a mother I would have personally picked a different color, as the yellow is very bright. I do like that the cap has a brim to shield delicate eyes from the sun. However, I would have liked the product to provide some UV protection, as this is normally the type of headgear I buy for my children…but if UV protection on headgear does not matter then this is great sun protection for your family! You can view all the cool caps available for kids at http://www.capsackids.com/.

There is also a line of hats and t-shirts for adults. Check them out here: http://www.cap-sac.com.

 


 

 

Costume Discounters Review

Faith and Family Reviews received the following product in exchange for writing a review. While we consider it a privilege to receive free products to review, our reviews are our honest opinion and thoughts of the product.

Have your kids picked out their Halloween costume yet?  No!?  Halloween is only 7 months away!  Well, let Costume Discounters help out the whole family!  They have an extensive collection of costumes, including Easter, mascots, infants, and plus size.

My Review:

I received a Girls XS (3T-4T) Deluxe Toddler Alice in Wonderland costume for my daughter.

The deluxe costume comes with dress with attached pinafore, ruffle trim petticoat, and headband with a teal blue bow.  The dress is 100% Polyester in a beautiful teal blue color.   The attached pinafore has a silver edged ruffle with a lovely picture of Alice holding a cup of tea on one side and glittery tea cups on the other.  The bow has a plastic piece in the center with a picture of Alice on it.  The petticoat that goes under the dress is 100% Olefin.  The dress and petticoat both have velcro closures.  The headband is plastic, but has a good strectch that seems like it won’t break easily.  The entire outfit needs to be hand washed separately in cold water, line dried, and cool iron (if needed).

We are heading to see a certain mouseland this year.  This costume will be perfect for our trip.  If you’ve been down there in the past few years you’ll notice the little girls in their princess outfits.  Those outfits in the parks are VERY expensive.  My advice is to buy your princess, fairy, or pirate outfit from Costume Discounters before you head out the door on vacation. Here’s a link to the princess costumes.

These opinions are my own.

Editor’s Note: We do not endorse all of the costumes found on this site to be family-friendly.
