Hours of Fun with the Blast Zone Big Ol' Bouncer!

Say good-bye to renting those Bounce Houses for special occasions! Your kids will stay entertained for hours with their very own backyard bouncer and it can house up to 6 kids!

Set up your Blast Zone Big Ol’ Bouncer in 2 (yes, 2!!) easy steps!

STEP1 is to lay out the bouncer on a flat surface. Blast Zone recommends laying out a tarp, and inflating your bouncy house on top, if you are setting it up on pavement or uneven yard. This will help reduce the chance of debris/rocks putting a hole in the Bounce House.

STEP 2 is to tie off the little yellow tube and insert the portable blower into the longer yellow tube. Tie the end to the blower - the Bounce House takes a short 2 minutes to inflate (we were amazed!).

That's it!

You might think that the Blast Zone Big Ol’ Bouncer will take up a lot of storage space and become very expensive to maintain. Not so! Blast Zone offers you the convenience of easy set up and take-down, while taking up MINIMAL storage. Easy to maintain and clean, this Bounce House is very durable.

My husband really wanted to show you just how durable this thing is! So he left it out during a rainstorm and in the mud. Watch his video to see how it stood up to the test:




Blast Zone offers smaller bounce houses, and even commercial sized ones. Be sure to check them out!

Pacifica Jet Set Trio Review

“Everyday pollutants can ruin your hair’s color, health and style (and then there goes your day). Say goodbye to bad hair days forever. No matter where you are off to, pack this trio.”

My Review

The Pacifica Jet Set Trio is a three-pack of Super Kale Juiced-Up Shampoo, Super Kale Juiced-Up Conditioner, and Hairvana Leave-On Detangling Conditioner “with stress and pollution protection and detoxifying extracts”. Made in the USA, this trio is 100% vegan and cruelty-free. The small size of each tube included makes them carry-on air travel and gym bag friendly.

Not only do they smell fantastic (the kale products have a mint scent and the leave-in has a coconut-vanilla scent), the Pacifica Jet Set Hair Trio is made to detox your hair from stress and pollutants. The Super Kale Shampoo and Conditioner are light-weight and nourishing. Their ingredients include antioxidant rich kale extract, olive oil, aloe leaf juice, moringa seed extract, and rice bran oil. Hairvana Leave-On Detangling Conditioner contains shea butter, which leaves your hair moisturized but not heavy.

I LOVED these products that left my color-treated hair feeling (and looking!) weightlessly gorgeous. I have recommended this set to many of my friends. They smell great and get the job done!

Our Review and YouTube Video!

A few years ago, I was introduced to FunBites® through the founder, Bobbie Rhoads. She was nice enough to send my son, Zachary, a FunBites® Food Cutter in green (you can see the rainbow of colors below). We still have the cutter and love it as much now as we did then!

Easy to use, Made in the USA, dishwasher safe, and BPA free! Picky eaters, like Zachary, will try new things and eat healthier!

Bobbie recently contacted me to see if we would like to try out a new FunBites® and, of course, I jumped at the chance! We were sent their new MINIONS Goggle Shaped Food Cutter Set. This set includes a curved cutter and matching popper top.

(cup not included in set)

Using FunBites® is as easy as 1, 2, 3!! 

Step 1: Place FunBites® cutter on top of food. Remove popper top and put to the side. You’re ready to go! 

Step 2: Hold cutter handles, firmly rock back and forth 5 to 6 times to cut all the way through the food. 

Step 3: Insert popper top. Lift cutter up from food. Insert the popper top and push down to pop out the bite-sized pieces! 

Here is Zachary demonstrating how he uses his FunBites®!

Operation Smile: healing children's smiles and changing lives

This is a sponsored post written on behalf of CampusBookRentals.com. Opinions are 100% my own.

Operation Smile and its more than 5,400 medical volunteers are working every day around the world to provide safe, effective and free cleft lip and cleft palate surgery for children all over the world.

They are an international medical humanitarian organization that works in over 60 countries that is dedicated to raising awareness and providing lasting solutions. Hundreds of thousands of children are still suffering from facial deformities. Worse, children are dying every day simply because they lack the access to safe surgical care.

They have gained extensive knowledge and insight into the challenges facing global health in the developing world. Poverty, malnutrition, cultural superstitions, and a severe lack of specialized surgeons in many resource-poor enviornments are all part of the problem.

WHO WE ARE: INTERNATIONAL CHILDREN'S MEDICAL CHARITY

Operation Smile is an international children's medical charity that heals children's smiles, forever changing their lives.

At Operation Smile, we're more than a charity. We're a mobilized force of medical professionals and caring hearts who provide safe, effective reconstructive surgery and related medical care for children born with cleft lip, cleft palate and other facial deformities.

Every three minutes a child is born with a cleft lip and/or cleft palate. A baby born with a cleft has twice the odds of dying before celebrating their first birthday. The children who survive are often unable to eat, speak, socialize or smile. In some places, they are shunned and rejected. And in too many cases, their parents can't afford the surgeries they need to live a productive life.

Every child deserves access to safe, quality surgical care. Every child deserves a future filled with hope. That's where we come in as the largest volunteer-based children's medical charity providing free cleft surgeries. Since 1982, Operation Smile — through the help of dedicated medical volunteers — has provided 200,000 free surgeries for children and young adults born with facial deformities. Our work creates a lasting global impact. We train local doctors in developing countries and strengthen healthcare systems so more children in some of the poorest areas in the world can be treated.

As one of the most prominent charities for children in the world, we work in over 60 countries to heal children’s smiles and bring hope for a better future. Together, we are saving children’s lives.

Thanks to the generosity and spirit of volunteerism shown by our supporters, we heal thousands of children per year. With your help, how many lives can we change tomorrow?

HOW YOUR SUPPORT HELPS

Every dollar counts. Every gift helps change the life of a child who is suffering from a cleft lip or cleft palate.

Gifts transform lives

• $240 can help provide a cleft lip or cleft palate surgery. This surgery can change a child's life forever and can take as few as 45 minutes. 
•  Contributions in excess of surgical costs are invested into our sustainability programs, which empower our partner countries to treat more children on their own. 
•  Operation Smile has more than 5,400 credentialed medical volunteers in over 80 countries who are ready to donate their time and talent. Your gifts help send them to countries where desperate children are waiting to be healed.
