I received this toy free in order to test the product and give an honest review. My 6 year old grandson loves the Rusty Rivets cartoon so I was excited to be able to test this product and give him a new toy. When we first received the dino he was thrilled to ave a new toy. I had to help him open the box and get the toy out but after that I became nonexistent while he played with the toy getting pulled into his own little world. He had to come running to me every few minutes to show me a new feature he discovered on it or a new sound it played. It is a new favorite toy and he spends hours playing with it. Since some of the pieces are removable I would not give to young kids that still like to put everything in their mouth, but other than that it was a much loved toy. -

I absolutely love wax melts, so much so that every store that carries them I have to look at the scents they have. I prefer things like fruit scents and vanillas. I was at Walmart looking for something and decided to check their selection out once again since they always have new ones come in. I was running low on cubes anyway so I needed to get more. My kids were trying to help me find a new one I would like when my son handed me one he thought I would like. I smelled it and it was definitely my taste so I got a 6 count pack. I put them in my warmers the next morning and they smelled even better than they did in the box. The smell is very strong, and even made my mouth water. The price is pretty reasonable at $2 for 6 count or 3.50 for the 12 count, and they last several days. -

Hello my name is nikki and I am a wax melt / candle aholic. There I have admitted I have a problem, however I do not plan on stopping. Everywhere I go, I always look at their selection of wax melts, I go through a lot of them as I foster dogs for local shelters and though it never has, I am always afraid my house is going to smell like animals. I was in dollar general last year and they had several on clearance that were seasonal. As I always do I picked up a few and smelled them to see if I liked them, I suffer from migraines and I can not handle anything flowery or perfumey because the aggravate my migraines. I had already picked out a scent I liked and my 15 year old wanted more for her room so she was smelling some as well. She decided on the iced winter berries, I did not care for them in the package as they seemed a bit flowery for my taste. However when she used them in the warmer in her room I could smell them when I opened her door and they seemed to smell really good and had no flowery scent like they did in the package so I went and got more for me as well. The scent is pretty strong, in a good way, you can smell them everywhere and for being a generic they lasted quite awhile. I run my warmers from the time I get up (around 5 am) until I go to bed (around 10pm) and they lasted for a couple of days still. They are normally priced at $1 for a 3 pack but paid .50 a pack. To me $1 is cheap but also bit high for only having three cubes in a pack, when walmart has some for under a dollar for 6 cubes. But I will still buy them because they do work very well. -

Last year right after Christmas I was in dollar general and they had several wax melts on clearance for 50% that were supposed to be holiday scents. I smelled a couple of them and loved the smell of the raspberry candy cane one, which I honestly did not expect to by the name. Candy canes are usually peppermint flavor and I am honestly not a huge fan of any mint scents or flavors at all. I was surprised to find that in the package you really only smell the fruity side of it. Everyone that knows me knows I am addicted to wax melts, I use them every day an have a warmer in literally every room of my home, yes the bathroom too. The first time I put them in the warmers I was very surprised to find that they had a very strong scent that gave my entire home a very welcoming scent. I had to go get more I liked them so much. I literally drove to every single dollar general I could think of in a 30 mile radius to buy all they had. At 50% off that made them only 50 cents each, at that price they are a very good buy but the down size is that they only come 3 to a pack, which is why I only gave them 3 starts for value, though compared to brands like scentsy that is still a good deal, though Walmart carries some that are 6 packs for less than $1 a pack. They do old their scent for a decent amount of time though in compared with some other similarly priced brands. I foster animals for local rescue groups and I am always afraid my house will smell like animal so I tend to run my warmers from the time I get up until the time I go to bed and these held their scent for 2 or 3 days even under those conditions. I am so happy it is nearly Christmas so that I can go and get some more. -

When you have an active family like I do you know how hard it is to make sure everyone stays properly hydrated. You have the soccer player, the track and cross country runner, the baseball player, and the hubby that works in a very hot factory, and then there is me, the sick one. I have a primary immune deficiency and have to get IV infusions and it is important to stay hydrated or the infusions will give me horrible migraines. So to make it easy on everyone I buy gatorade, we get the electrolytes we need and replenish the fluids that my kids and husband lose working and running. My husband says he will feel light headed at work and then drink a gatorade and will almost immediately feel better. And with all the flavors available it is easy to find something for everyone. -

My husband and I adopted a dog from a local shelter that had many health issues, and we knew that in advance but we wanted her to know love for what ever time she had left. She had been neglected and abused by her first family and was allergic to just about every food the shelter had tried her on. I had been given some sample bags of taste of the wild at a pet expo along with several other brands. We knew we wanted to go grain free with her since grain is usually the most obvious food allergen. We tried her on taste of the wild pacific salmon and she did great on it! The dog that was totally bald and 30 pounds under weight, started gaining weight and growing her hair back in. She was thriving on it! The progress amazed everyone including her vet. This is the only food I feed now, my dogs coats are shinier than ever before. -

Everyone that knows me knows I am a coffee addict, and my coffee of choice is Folgers. My day can not begin until I have had a nice hot cup of this delicious brew. My family knows that if they wake up before me then they need to put the coffee on, and I have to have a cup before they start to chatter at me. Folgers is the perfect blend of flavor without being too bitter. The number of different blends they offer is beyond what you would expect from a store bought coffee. They have simply smooth, which is low acid to help those with stomach issues and half caf which is half decaf and half regular, not to mention all of the other too numerous to mention. I do often buy the smooth and I like flavor of folgers so much that during the winter I buy regular in the morning then half caf in the afternoon and decaf at night. Yes, I have been told I have a problem but they currently do not have a coffee addicts anonymous, and until they do I will keep drinking my morning cup of folgers. I have tried other brands but I always come back to folgers, so yes, I agre with their commercials, "the best part of waking up", truly is folgers in your cup. -

I am sure most crafters are familiar with the cricut, and sure its great but if you like the cricut you will LOVE the silhouette cameo 3. The set up process is vry easy and can be used on a laptop or a smart phone from the cameo app. There are tons of settings for different types of products to cut including leather and metal. The ease of cutting if amazing and it has an automatic blade so you do not have to worry about looking the the blade depth for each type of material you wish to cut, simply choose it on the settings and let the cameo do the rest. See a design you like online just pull it into you photos and you can merge it from there into your cameo software and use the trace option and hit send and cut and let the machine do the rest. Great for making car decals and shirts for kids school activities. -

I'm sure many of you know Dawn is a great grease cutting dish soap, and of course we have all seen the commercials where they use it to help wildlife that have been covered in oil from oil spills. But did you know that dawn is also an effective and recommended flea treatment for dogs and cats? We fostered a dog and her new born pups that were found covered in fleas. I asked the vet what we could use on babies that young that would not harm them and to my surprise he said dawn dish soap. Sure enough as I bathed the pups with the dawn the fleas were dying and coming right off of them. It is gentle and effective, now I use it for all my pets, rescues, and fosters. Just another reason to LOVE dawn. -
