Gloden Nail Clippers

These are the most interesting nail clippers I've ever had. They are very pretty with the two tones. My main concern was whether they would clip well. I used the nail clippers on my son's nails, and they worked perfectly! The toe nail clippers work well too. I am very happy with these. They feel sturdy (though the rose toned top piece is a little lighter than I would prefer) and should last quite a while.

They come in a very pretty gold box, perfect for gift giving. There is also a nail file under moveable piece on both clippers. You do need to remove the blue plastic covering before you can use it.

Mini Nail Files, Assorted Color 50 Pack

These are really cute with lots of bright colors. They will be perfect for me to put in my Thirty-One Hostess Gift-Bags or to give to my Jamberry Consultant friend to put in her goodie bags.

Excellent disposable nail files.

Fridge alphabet Magnets

My son is 14 months old and has discovered magnets. So I really wanted to give him the opportunity to play with some that I wasn't worried about him swallowing. These seemed like the perfect choice.

The plastic letters seem quite well made. They are sturdy and should hold up to his playing for a long time. The magnets on the back of them are just glue on magnet tape (I think it's called) and the magnets barely hold the letter itself up. They won't even stick to each other. For me, this is a disadvantage. I would prefer that the magnets be at least a little stronger (maybe strong enough to hold a single sheet of paper or even a half sheet...) that way he could explore more of how magnets work. These will still be fun though and should allow him a tactical way of playing with the alphabet and learning letters, which is still a little ways off as it is.

The letters are not huge, but plenty large enough that I don't worry about him playing with them without direct worried supervision. If your child is still insisting on shoving everything as deep as he can into his mouth, these would be on the small side though.

I can't confirm if we got all the pieces because we only pulled out 5 letters for him to work with right now. We are not to the point of spelling or even looking at letters and saying names, so we were more interested in having just enough that we can pick them up and put them back as he's playing with them but not be losing them all over the house. As he gets older, we will bring more and more of them out.




As long as you aren't looking for a strong magnet (i.e. a magnet that will do anything more than barely hold the letter up), then these are a good choice. I would get them again. Though I might later hand swap out the magnets for something a little more powerful.

2PM Essentials Frosted Cobalt Blue Roller Bottles

I have only just begun my Essential Oil journey. I have some, but because I have cats and am super careful about safety with them, my dog, my baby, and me, I didn't dive in head first, I've gone pretty slow and steady while learning about them.

Because I have cats, I can't do a ton of diffusing (which is my preferred method since it's safest). So that makes having roller balls perfect. I can dilute my oils heavily so they are safe for me and my son, and my cats aren't being unnecessarily exposed to potentially harmful oils. They are also perfect if I need to do a stronger dilution for a specific problem such as a bug bite.

With all that in mind, I was very excited to get to try these roller balls out. They have not disappointed. I love the metal roller ball instead of plastic. Plastic has a tendency to degrade after a while, making roller balls only reuseable to a point. These should last much longer. They were easy to install and remove from the glass.

The glass is blue, so your essential oils will not be damaged because of too much light.



The balls are not free-rolling, so I will be trying some of the methods they recommend to see if they loosen up. If not, I am certain 2PM will help me out. I'll update this once I have figured out what's going on there.

Assuming the roller ball issue is resolved, I really like these. They are beautiful and seem like they will work well for a long time.
