Oops Scoops, is a sweet new ice cream stacking game from YULU!

Erin Sluka

The first game a child plays are stacking games. From blocks to play cups they love to stack until it all comes crashing down. They are testing limits, learning to strategize and with it and then comes shapes and space. When they have grown out of blocks, what a better stacking toy than scoops of ice cream!

Oops Scoops is a fun stacking game that challenges players take turns stacking the ice cream scoops on ‘Oops’ the ice cream cone. Players compete to build the tallest ice cream tower, but beware, ‘Oops’ the shaking cone, can shiver to make the stacking even more challenging and causing the tower of scoops to topple.

The scoop has a lever that spins and tells you how many scoops you have each turn. It is rated for ages 4+ and requires 2 AAA batteries (not included). In no time they will be attempting to stack as the cone shifts and vibrates. If that is too challenging for them, turn off the vibration mode or play ‘Pass the Cone’. Game options are in the included instruction booklet.

For more information on YULU check out YULUtoys.com. Oops scoops can be found at Target stores in the US. Coming soon to Canada.

The Pillowcase That Fights Knots and Tangles in Childrens Hair

Erin Sluka

I remember the dreaded hair brushing in mornings. Then I know parents who totally changed their child’s hairstyle just to avoid the rats nest.

With the Easy Mornings pillowcases from Madison & White you get an exclusive blend of fabric that allows hair to gently glide across the surface, reducing hair tangles and knots. Their satin is a blend of 95% polyester and 5% spandex. No harmful chemicals are used in the product or at the OEKO-TEK STANDARD factory.

The Easy Mornings kit comes with (2) pillowcases. I also love that they are wrinkle-resistant and washing is easy-just toss in the washing machine and dryer.

The standard cotton pillowcases always cause tangles in adults and childrens hair. Cotton loves water so it will pull moisture form your child’s hair and then that hair tangles and knots up due to friction and dryness.

With the Madison & White Easy Mornings set, your child’s hair glides across the ultra soft satin. Plus, their hair keeps its natural moisture which is very healthy. My first thought was how much time these pillow cases can save in the mornings, but it truly is more than that. Cotton does not allow your hair to remain healthy when every night it sucks out that moisture, so Madison & White offers pillow cases for everyone in the family that actually helps to keep your hair healthy. Shop Madison & White!

METALLICA | BLACKENED American Whiskey from Cask Cartel

I was sent product for feature. Opinions are my own

METALLICA | BLACKENED AMERICAN WHISKEY REVIEW cask cartel

Did you know that June 14th is National Bourbon and Scotch Day and then Father’s Day lands on June 16th. Celebrate Dad with a bottle of not-so-average whiskey! The best part is you can order his bottle online right now and know it will arrive fast, packaged well and be a premium liquor and at a great price! Let me give you a suggestion of a bottle that is a hit in my home with guests!

I thought I have had good American whiskey before. I get caught by the locked case at my supermarket that I assume are the best of brands. Or I head to a Wine and Liquor store and see so many options and don’t know where to start. I have tasted some amazing straight whiskey and bourbon blends, but nothing compares to METALLICA | BLACKENED American.

By far, it is the smoothest whiskey I have ever tried. Now when guests come over I immediately have those who I know appreciate a good whisky try a sip and they about melt into their chair!

Take a virtual sip below….

It is a blend of straight whiskeys finished in black brandy casks and a proprietary sonic enhancement process called Black Noise. It uses batch-specific Metallica playlists, selected and arranged by the band, to extract additional flavor and characteristics from the barrels. The low hertz sound waves of the music increases the molecular interaction between the whiskey and wood. It was co-created with (the late) master distiller Dave Pickerell, formerly of Maker’s Mark and WhistlePig.
