For those of you who don't know, mental health plays a HUGE part in my life! I have been affected by people with special needs my entire life; between family with special needs and working with people with special needs, you could say I have a passion for it. Recently I was given the opportunity to try Crayon Rocks.  Crayon Rocks are geared toward children with special needs to help them learn basic writing skills. Who are they and how did they start?

I recently was given the opportunity to try a phenomenal subscription box that is packed full of delicious, nutritious snacks! Graze Box gives you so many options! They have over 90 snacks to choose from, including natural treats, pure nut mixes, rolled-oat granola bars and juicy dried fruit. They even give you the option of a calorie counter box!

The Knot Genie and Teeny Genie Detangling Brushes were created for every parent that's endured the foot stomping and screaming matches that come with brushing their child's hair. With the Knot Genie, even the curliest, most knotted up hair practically slips through the unique bristle configuration- gently and painlessly. Try the Knot Genie on your kids (or on yourself) - you'll be amazed by the ease of brushing. As well as how it virtually stops breakage and split ends. I have VERY thin hair and it doesn't really get knotted but it does however fall out if i use a very aggressive brush. Now for those of you with thin hair you know, you we can't afford to lose any hair that we don't have to! So the Knot Genie is perfect for us! It glides flawlessly throughout my hair without causing breakage and extra hair falling out. This is a new must have in my getting ready routine!
