A Review of Kahina Giving Beauty Eye Cream

Kahina eye cream is a luxurious, rich, textured eye cream that firms skin, sooths dryness and beautifies the area around your eyes...naturally.

Kahina eye cream is made with 70% organic content and combines collagen boosting peptides, sea fennel extract, green and white tea extracts and organic argan oil along with other natural extracts to create an eyecream that works wonders.

The result of this magic elixir is a fantastic eye cream that isn't thick and gooey or so thick that you cannot wear it during the day under your cosmetics. No this fabulous eye cream is just the right consistency that you can use it day and night with no worries.

Kahina firms, beautifies and tightens the skin around your eyes. Say goodbye to fine lines and puffiness. Say hello to beautiful, younger looking skin.

I am in love with Kahina eye cream. What I am not in love with is the price. $65 for a 15 ml jar. That's a tiny little eye cream jar, only .50 ounces. For $65. Yikes. Thank goodness I received this review sample for free. Too bad I am now hooked on it and am going to want more.

The secret to the rejuvenating effects of the Kahina products is argan oil. And not only does Kahina offer the amazing eye cream they also offer facial lotions, oils, serums and cleansers all made with the magic ingredient- argan oil.

Maukilo Toys


If you are looking for safe, eco-friendly and ethical toys for your little ones then look no further than Maukilo.

Maukilo carries all the best eco and ethical toy brands- Fat Brain, Green Toys, HABA, Plan Toys, and many other trusted brands and they have tons of toys perfect for summer fun- in or outside.

For the summer you can find beach toys, hopping toys, outdoor toys, and ride on toys for hours of outdoor summer fun.


If you are looking some cute and playful indoor toys they have tons of those too.
This is a one stop shop for parents looking for the best and safest toys around.

I had the chance to try eRacers which are little wood cars that my son adores. They are large enough to offer gripping room for little hands so they can be vroom vroomed around the house or pushed across the floor to let them roll. And they come in an assortment of colors. They are classic wood cars meets race car style. They have a great race car look with an updated, rounded on top and open shape which I guess looks cool and is probably more aerodynamic than the classic wooden kinda boxy shaped cars.

We also had the chance to sample some playfood made by HABA.


My little guy(who is four) is joining the family business already making pizza with HABA’s soft bon appetit toy pizza. The plush pizza has separate slices and comes with several toppings that turn the pizza making experience into something fun and realistic for the kids. And it looks (almost) good enough to eat. Pepperoni, anchovies, tomatoes, cheese…all the good stuff is there to top the pizza with.

When done with playing with the pizza my son ”makes” ice cream cones for dessert with HABA’s venezia-petiterose ice cream cones.

The soft ice cream and cones are fun little plushy waffle cones and two scoops of ice cream that can be turned upside down for a different flavor.

Review of Blue Dominoes Organic and All Natural Activity Dough

If you let your children play with Blue Dominoes Activity Dough you’ll have no worries that they are rolling around and squishing up toxic dough balls.

Blue Dominoes Activity Dough is all natural, organic, wheat and gluten free, contains no lead or other heavy metals, is BPA free, contains no artificial coloring and is hypo-allergenic.

So this playful activity dough is not only eco-friendly but child friendly.
I received a set of this activity dough to try out. My kids adore it. The recyclable plastic containers are made to stack and fit easily into my cupboard and the lids fit on tight so the dough doesn’t dry out. Everyday my little asks me to get his dough down so he can play with it at the dining room table.

I give him a rolling pin and cookie cutters and he’ll actually sit there and play for at least an hour- which is a record for him because he’s a busy and active child who is always looking for something new to do. Sometimes the whole family will join in and design fun things from the dough- especially my husband. He loves to sit down and play with the kids. I think it helps him de-stress after a long day at work.

It’s always the simplest things that can give the greatest pleasure. Who needs bright lights, plastic, or video games to have fun? Simple toys that spark imagination are the best.

I think my little guy’s favorite toy is a cardboard box. He’ll play with one for hours always adding stuff to it, taking stuff out, drawing on it, wearing it or climbing into it depending on the size. I guess he likes cardboard boxes because they become anything he wants them to be.
