New Sand Toys from Playmobil – Review

Erin Sluka

I have partnered with Playmobil for this feature

Playmobil wants to help get your sandbox summer ready! If you want to spend some times outside at the beach or in your garden, the kids need to be entertained and these new Playmobil sand toys will do the trick! Place the Playmobil Dump Truck and Playmobil Excavator in sand or dirt and your child can have ‘loads’ of fun time (pardon the pun).

The dump truck comes with detachable pieces for added fun. The bed as well as the two ramps and sieve can be detached and can played with individually. Use the ramps for the truck ramp or build a bridge, etc.. the creativity is endless. You can fit 2 Playmobil 1.2.3. figures in the cab.

With the Playmobil Excavator’s bucket as well as the flag and cage can be detached and also used individually to play in the sand. Us the bucket as a shovel to dig or build with. There is space in the cage for a 1.2.3 figure.

I love the bright colors and sturdy design. Both are great for outdoor and indoor play! Both retail about $24.99 each.

Visit Playmobil for more summer fun toys!

Get Massage Therapy at Home With The NEW Sunbeam Heated Massager

Erin Sluka

I have partnered with Sunbeam for this feature. All opinions are my own

I have had my share of lower back pain and nothing ruins your day or a nights sleep like the aching of a back. My Dad suffers tremendously and is thanfully, a candidate now for laser surgery to help resolve some lower spine issues but it has gotten so bad he has resorted to a cane for assistance. There is no magic cure-all for back pain. However, you can find relieve with massage and even heat treatments. If you cannot get medical coverage for massages then it adds up! Even if you do have coverage they only allow so many visits and then you also have to find one that accepts you plan.

With Sunbeam Heated Back Wrap with Shiatsu Massage there is a next best option. Not only do you get the benefit of shiatsu massage motion but you get fantastic heat coverage and it is clinically proven to relieve pain. The degree of relief may vary depending on the person and issues, but it will be relief of a sort no doubt.

Now that there is massage and heat therapy you can do at home, you only have 2 hands so how will this work? That is easy! There is a waist strap so it stays in place! Here are all of the features of the Sunbeam Heated Back Wrap with Shiatsu Massage

  • 3 heat settings (low to high)
  • 4 Shiatsu Massaging Nodes
  • Hands-free use, stays in place with waist strap
  • Fits up to 54-inch waist (sizes women’s small through men’s XXL)
  • Convenient, long cord – 12 ft.
  • Pocket for easy cord storage
  • 2-hour heat auto-off
  • 20-minute massage auto-off

How much is a massage visit? It is pricey! This runs you $89.99! that’s it. Buy it once and use it as often as you need! With Father’s Day and Mother’s Day approaching I can’t think of a better gift for a parent suffering with lower back pain. Can you? How does it fit and feel? I LOVE it. I am so anxious for my dad to give this a try. The remote works great and you get instant massage and heat is fast! There is a clear difference in hat levels so if you need it high, you get that safe high heat delivered on the spot. The worst part about it is turning it off. Sometimes I wear it for heat only, sometimes for massage only. I get that choice!  You ca find the Sunbeam Heated Back Wrap with Shiatsu Massage on the Sunbeam website or on Amazon too.

Jessica Women’s Leather Adjustable Cross Strap Sandal by Therafit – Giveaway

Erin Sluka

I have partnered with Therafit for this feature

Therafit has done it again and they keep getting better each season. For spring they have 10 new styles of comfort shoes to choose from. I am featuring the Jessica Women’s Leather Adjustable Cross Strap Sandal. With all the straps, not one of them bring discomfort or dig into the tops of my feet. The entire shoe is comfortable all the way around.

The shoe comes in blue or black and these are the blue pictured here. I love that is a sandal for spring and summer weather but can be worn when dresses up or down. They are great with a air of jeans or shorts and also just as great with a skirt for an evening out or day at church.

The straps are a stretched elastic band and as with Therafit shoes it also has contoured footbed, superior arch support, and deep heel-cups will stabilize and support your foot. They are available in whole sizes so you would order up for a half size. I wear an 8.5 typically and the 9 is a great fit! Visit Therafit New Arrivals to see all of the latest styles.
