I received a free sample of the Croc 'n' Roll game by Spin Master for my children to try it out and to share my honest opinion about this product.
While we love the idea and this game is a lot of fun for younger children, it could definitely use some improvements! The idea is that kids have to stay within a certain perimeter in a circle shaped area, which is defined by a small plastic border, and have to jump from lily pad to lily pad. Each child can only jump to their own color, and the croc ball can't touch the child. If it does, or the child steps off, they're out. The first issue we noticed is that the circle is not as large as it is pictured on the packaging, it is actually too small to fit all the lily pads and have enough space for more than two small children to be able to jump to their colors. The second issue we encountered is that the croc ball often gets "stuck" on the sides, without changing direction to come back. This made my children feel a little bit frustrated with the game, but a quick and easy solution I can recommend is that I tapped the ball to move it for them so it could continue 'chasing" after the kids to continue the fun! I suggest for the manufacturer to consider adding a few more side pieces to make the circle larger, so more children and even older siblings can play. My older kids would have loved to join in on the fun but the area is just too small.

Boxer the Interactive A.I. Robot is so cute and so much fun! My kids loved him the second we took him out of the box and turned him on. His LED eyes light up, he looks at objects in front of him, follows them with his eyes and makes cute facial expressions. When you put your hand in front of him and move it around slowly, he will happily look at and follow it to play with you. He makes a lot of funny noises, he loves to "talk" a lot in his robot language and kids really love his voice that sounds like a little minion. He loves interacting with you. He comes with his own small soccer ball that he loves to "kick" around and play with, he also comes with a remote control so you can control his movements and spin him around. If he falls over, he even knows how to get back up. With the remote control you do have to be in close proximity to Boxer so he will get the remote's signal. There are also 10 game cards included, which you let Boxer "drive" over, he will "scan" the card's unique codes that way and he will then start playing the game or do the activity of that card. There are games and activities like dance party, slingshot, bowling and many more. If you download the Boxer Robot app to your phone or tablet there are even more activities you can unlock for Boxer, and with the app it is super easy to just swipe the "card" towards Boxer on your screen and he will start playing. Boxer is so much fun to play with and engages my children, from youngest to oldest! He is small but mighty! He can be pretty fast and loud, it would be nice to have a volume control on this toy, I love that Boxer is rechargeable and comes with his own USB charger cable. What I also like about Boxer is that he is built sturdy, which is great for kids, and due to his speed he fell off of our table and didn't get damaged at all!
I received this product for free for testing purposes in exchange for my honest opinion.

When it comes to dish soap and fighting grease and grime, nothing beats DAWN Advanced Dish Liquid! Dawn is tough on grease and helps get rid of streaks on my glass top stove, as well as helps clean my windows. I love Dawn dish soap and have been using it for many years now. Trying other brands I have to say I find myself using much less dish soap when I use Dawn dish soap, it creates a lot of foam and bubbles with just one drop on the sponge I use for my dishes, and I don't have to constantly add more soap while washing dishes. It is very effective and helps get rid of any food left over that may be stuck on dishes after cooking, all you have to do is soak your pots and pans in water with some DAWN dish soap in it, and when you come back later it is a breeze to wipe off. I highly recommend Dawn Advanced Dish Liquid to everyone that has to wash dishes, it's a life and time saver! -

I really like using Crest 3D White Arctic Fresh Toothpaste. What I love most about it is the fresh taste, and that it doesn't foam up too much when brushing my teeth. It seems gentle on my teeth, and polishes away stains from tea and coffee, without being too aggressive or abrasive on the tooth surface. The whitening effect could be more intense, in my opinion, but I like the results and will definitely buy this toothpaste again. It's one of my favorite brands of toothpaste. I highly recommend this toothpaste to anyone looking for a brighter smile! -

I couldn't resist buying a box of the Maxwell House International Latte Suisse Mocha single serve sticks. The drink on the outside of the package looks delicious, and I'm a huge coffee and chocolate lover. First of all, the package contains only five single serve sticks, which is less than other single serve stick coffee beverages available to buy. The single serve package is easy to open, you just put the powder into your mug and add 8 ounces of boiling water, and then stir until dissolved. I like the small amount of creamy foam this drink creates on top of the beverage. The taste, well, that's another story! I could hardly taste any coffee flavor at all, I was expecting it to be more of a coffee drink (being a Maxwell Coffee House beverage after all!), but the main taste is the one of a simple hot chocolate. And not necessarily a quality chocolate flavor. I was not impressed with this beverage, and probably won't buy it again unless I find it at a good price again. I wouldn't recommend this drink if you're looking for a true mocha coffee style flavor. -

My newest addition to my daily facial care regimen is using the e.l.f. Daily Hydration Moisturizer with purified water, Vitamin E and Jojoba. I apply it after cleansing my face, it is a white cream moisturizer, a light-weight formula that nourishes delicate facial skin with aloe, jojoba, cucumber, shea butter, grape, orange, purified water and Vitamin E, for well hydrated, nourished and moisturized skin. I like the light feel of the cream and that it doesn't feel greasy. Absolutely no oily residue, which works great for my sensitive, prone-to-breakouts skin. My skin feels soft and subtle. I will definitely buy this moisturizer again in the future. Really impressed! -

I really like my Keurig 2.0 coffee brewer. The convenience is superb, just pop in a K-Cup coffee pod and you're ready to brew! The coffee is nice, hot and steamy, and ready in about two minutes. What I also really l like is the reusable K-Cup pod that I can fill with my own preferred coffee grounds, which saves me money and is inevitably healthier for the environment, considering the pile up of empty coffee pods. The appearance of the Keurig 2.0 brewing system is sleek, elegant, and fits in nicely with many kitchen designs. I like that you can change the color and background of the display, you can change the clock display from analog to digital, and you can also change the light color inside the water tank, very cool! It's a great accessory to have, in my opinion. One thing I didn't like is that it is pretty fragile. One time, while carrying the empty water tank to refill it, it fell out of my hand onto the counter, and a quarter-sized plastic edge piece broke off. Luckily it didn't affect the performance and you can't really notice if not looking closely. Overall, the Keurig 2.0 brewer is a great coffee brewing system! I just wish there weren't as many restrictions that the Keurig brand added on, like using only certain K-Cup pods, because sadly not all Keurig branded K-Cup pods are compatible and restrict you to use only 2.0 compatible ones. -
