National Geographic are known for their coverage of everything nature with a playful side. Their book line are one of the ways they express this playful side to keep kids and adults engaged and learning.

Lets take a look at a few of these fun (and shhhh! educational) books. Up first Angry Birds Star Wars. This book is based on the wildly popular new Angry Birds game, which takes the tried and true Angry Birds formula and adds a coat of Star Wars to it. The book takes this formula and adds a more educational spin on it. Not only does the book cover Angry Birds and Star Wars, but takes the ‘Star’ part of Star Wars and runs with it. With this book the reader learns about the science and technology behind Star Wars while also covering the characters and settings in which the game take place. The book covers topics like hover crafts and planet Kepler 16b. All this on wonderfully bright and colorful pages, filled with illustrations and huge pictures. This book would fit well on the bookshelf of Angry Birds fans and Star Wars fans of all ages.

Dove ClearTone

November 8, 2013 by Samantha 1 Comment

I participated in a campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for Dove. I received product samples to facilitate my review as well as a promotional item as a thank-you for participating.

When traveling, there are many necessities for travelers of all ages. Some are broad and easy to remember, or in the husband’s case, to forget. They include a tooth brush, clothes, hair brush, your meds, vitamins, etc. For adults there are more necessities including the all important deodorant and or antiperspirant.

The newest addition to this necessary list is Dove Clear Tone deodorant. With its ability to reduce red spots and odd coloration of the underarm once a change is noticed another change occurs. A new favorite will develop. With this development Dove becomes a new necessity for the suitcase no matter how long the trip. Dove Clear Tone can clear up red spots and dark tones in as few as 2 weeks but I would suggest giving it 3 weeks before really looking for a big change. by this time it will be most noticeable and will make you a Clear Tone enthusiast.
