Prarie Grass Sundries: Sadie's Review




Prairie Grass Sundries says this on her Etsy page: I sell a variety of bar soaps, castile being my specialty. I also sell shredded soap, for those who like to make their own products, and my specially formulated all-natural laundry soap. Everything is made by me personally in small batches in my country kitchen. Each bar of soap is hand cut and unique. All of my products contain only natural ingredients.

I tried the Bees Knees and Stress Relief Soaps. They both have unique smells and they lather, unlike most home-made soaps I've tried. The Stress Relief soap is great, but I'll be honest: It's gonna take a whole lot more than some soap to relieve my stress! :) But it was fun to try, nonetheless. The Bees Knees soap, well, I'm in love with it. So are the kids. It has a texture and consistency like I've never seen before and it lathers up quite nicely!

Next, I want to try the laundry bar stain stick, and I can't wait for her to start selling the Facial Mask Collection & Goat's Milk Castile. Maybe she will be nice enough to send me some for another review? :)

The Good: The soaps are honestly amazing. I'm very picky when it comes to soaps, body bars, etc but I like these a lot. The kids like them, too, which is always a plus. The Bees Knees soap is very eye-catching. The company always notices it. .

The Bad: The scent of the Bees Knees soap is a bit.. different. It's something that took some getting used to. Also when these soaps were shipped to me, they were wrapped together instead of separately so it took a little bit for each to get its own smell back. I emailed the creator about this problem and she graciously accepted my criticism and said she would start wrapping them separately from now on. A++ for customer service, for sure.

Pricing: At about $5 per bar, I would say her prices are average

Fur Real Newborn Parrot - Jenelle's Review


Today I got a Fur Real Pet. I have had the bear before, and my sister had the monkey, but the parrot is definitely the cutest. It makes chirping noises and moves around when you feed it. The only bad part is when you go to turn it off or on, it's difficult to do because of where the button is located. It's in between its feet and I'm afraid I will break the feet when I'm switching it off or on.

I like that the parrot can sit on my finger or arm. You can usually pet the Fur Real pets to make them make noises, but the only way to get this one to 'talk' is by pretending to feed it.

We got ours at Wal-Mart for $10 so be sure to shop around for the best deal!

4 out of 5 stars (affordable, cute, fun, but hard to turn off/on and replace batteries).

Zhu Zhu Pet Rock Star Edition - Jenelle's Review



I got the Zhu Zhu pet Kingston and the Ramp & Spiral Slide for my 9th birthday this weekend. It's my first Zhu Zhu pet and I really like it, but Kingston is hard to understand. The slide is fun to play with and he rides down it really easily. You have to set it up on a hard surface or it will fall over (trust me!). Kingston fell off the kitchen table a few times and was fine, so he is very durable. That is important to me because I have two little sisters that like to break things.I like these toys and definitely want to try more!

Overall, 4 out of 5 stars (affordable, durable, cute, and fun - but hard to understand when he talks).

You can get your own Zhu Zhu Pets at Wal-Mart for only $9.
