Kimochis Review

Kimochis are toys with feelings inside and were created to to assist in parent-child communication and help in building social and emotional intelligence, as well as self-esteem in children. Kimochi (Key.Mo.Chee) means “feeling” in Japanese and the new line of plush characters comes equipped with 3 plush feelings and a Feel Guide. The idea behind Kimochis is that kids can get in touch with their emotions with puppetry and play. Kimochis allow children to communicate with a parent or caregiver in a way that deflects their emotions away from themselves and focuses these feelings on a Kimochi. This allows children to feel more comfortable when sharing their feelings.I received Kimochis Huggtopus with a mixed feeling pack. Both my little ones just love her. I have been teaching my 2 1/2 yr old how to use it. She still working on it. I love the fact that they have pictures on the front so since my little one can't read yet she can determine the feeling she is having by the picture. Also, in the mixed feeling pack they give you one blank feeling that you can write whatever you want on.

The Kimochis are what come inside each character. They are small pillows with feeling on one side and a corresponding facial expression on the other. The facial expressions allow for children to quickly identify the emotion and place it inside each character's pocket. Additional feeling packs can be purchased separately.


Here is how it works:

1. Child has a feeling.

2. Child can identify and express their feelings by choosing a plush emotion and placing it into the front pocket of the Kimochi.
3. Parent can reach inside, pull out the feeling and talk about it with their child.


The feeling guide gives parents some really great ideas on how to communicate with their child and offers ideas such as games you can play with your Kimochi.That way children can become comfortable with the Kimochi.This will assist both parent and child later when a “feeling” arises.


Each character has its own and very distinctive personality. One character may identify more with your child than others. For instance Kimochi Huggtopus is very affectionate and strong and sometimes gets a little carried away by her big friendly personality. She would be perfect for someone that is a little overbearing.  Kimochi Huggtopus comes with Happy, Silly and Fustrated feelings.

Feelings should be as quick and painless as this process. This toy teaches children it's okay to have feelings and it is important to share them. Of course it teaches how to express them in a right way.These toys are cute and cuddly as my little ones just love Huggtopus! I would so recommend these as a great way to talk to your child about feelings!

Sanuk Kids Shoes Review and Giveaway!

Sanuk is a company that has been around since July of 1997, when Jeff Kelley started making sandals out of inner tubes and indoor-outdoor carpet. In 1998 marked their full first year of operations. They have progressed into a semi-proper footwear company where the spirit of innovation still serves as the backbone of their little brand. Today, they strive to make products that are as much about funk as they are about function. They’ve found their sandals are happiest when they tread the road less traveled – so they design‘em accordingly.
Because “Sanük” is the Thai word for FUN, their name is also their mantra.
 

Sanuk asked me to review their kids shoes. Which was great for me because my little one need some new sandals! I chose Aftershock in black. I tell ya she loves those shoes! They are made of yoga mat material! So, they are very softed soled and comfortable. I got the XS size and they come with a back strap to help keep them on. I so want some of these shoes for myself! She likes them so much I have a hard time getting her to take them off!
 
Sanuk is offering one of my lucky readers a chose of their own kids shoes!
 
Mandatory Entry: Go to Sanuk and tell me what pair of kids shoes you would chose. You do not have to be a blogger to enter, but you MUST leave a valid email so I can reach you should you win. I WILL NOT hunt you down. The winner will have 48 hours to respond.

Misikko Corioliss Classic Pro Reveiw and Giveaway!

Misikko carries many of the finest Professional Hair Straighteners around. Some of the top brands they offer include the popular CHI flat iron, FHI flat iron, and Hana flat iron. They also carry some of the best hair dryers around.

I’m no stranger when it comes to ceramic flat irons and love the versatile ways I can style my hair with them. I recently received a Corioliss Classic Pro 1″ Black Flat Iron  and am happy with the way my hair behaves when I use this professional styling tool! This flat iron heats from a low temperature of 140°F for fine hair and up to 410°F for coarse hair. It heats up in less then 6 seconds!

I tell ya I wish I had one of these a long time back when I got a straight iron! It is a little pricey but I have to say it is well worth the money! This flat iron retails for $89.99 (reduced from its original $200 price tag) and comes with a free heat proof mat and pouch ($20 value) to protect your counter tops. It’s definitely worth the little splurge to upgrade from a convenience store flat iron!

I am for sure getting rid of my old flat iron! With me having thick naturally wavy hair this flat iron works great! I also got HANA Shine Shield Thermal Protectant which is a must have if you use any heat appliance on your hair. Hana Shine Shield is the latest product in a line committed to safe, effective heat styling. Shine Shield is a thermal serum that can be used as a leave-in conditioner - lightweight and never greasy, it protects and strengthens hair whether you use it with a flat iron, hair dryer or alone.


Mandatory Entry: Go to Misikko and tell me one of there products you would want to have.
