Got Sunscreen? Try KINeSYS



We spend a lot of time outside in the summer, especially in Ohio when it's the warmest and sunniest months of the year. We have to take advantage of all that great sunshine. We are either outside playing, swimming or reading and definitely use sunscreen. I am fair skinned and have to be careful and my son is not as fair skinned but needs to protect his skin as reports are showing that most skin damage occurs in our childhood years. I was thrilled to receive full size products of KINeSYS Sunscreen to use this summer.


We received KIDS SPF 30 Alcohol free Sunscreen Spray I hadn't heard of this product before and was thrilled when I read on the KINeSYS website that their products are:


Oil-free / Alcohol-free / PABA-free / Preservative-free• Very Water-resistant / Sweat-resistant• Hypoallergenic / Non-comedogenic• Fragrance-free


My son has food allergies so this was excellent information to know as well:


Allergy Information:No parabens, preservatives, nanoparticles, nuts, nut oil, gluten, dairy, egg, soy, sulphites or colourants have been added to these products.







We were also sent a Travel Size Girl SPF 30 Alcohol free Spray Sunscreen which I used as my son would not consider using it as it was pink and had "girl" written on it. He did like the scent, the girls spray sunscreen has added Vitamin E and a Vanilla fragrance. I liked the fragrance which I found very natural and light and not overpowering at all.
What we loved about the KINeSYS Products were that they spray on very easily and are not oily, greasy or sticky. It was a breeze to use at the pool and sprays on quick and easy without any rubbing and dries fast. I would highly recommend these products. I think that they would be great for any summer activity and sports.



An added plus on the environmental side is that the KINeSYS website states:


" KINeSYS Skin Care sun block products are carbon neutral, our packaging is made of 100% recyclable materials and our products are 100% cruelty free. "


Check out the KINeSYS website for more information and to find a retailer near you or order online directly.



Thanks to KINeSYS and Family Review Network for sending me the KINeSYS products to review.

Review: Manifest Your Magnificance

"Manifest Your Magnificence is a unique set of 64 affirmation cards and an audio CD designed specifically to nurture a child's self-esteem. Beautifully illustrated, written and spoken, each affirmation carries a powerful message that connects children to their magnificence. This unique set of cards and CD encourages positive interactions between adults and children, creates communication about feelings, promotes values such as honesty, responsibility, and compassion, and imprints positive attitudes and beliefs in the subconscious through use of "I AM" statements."

I am a firm believer in the importance of building a childs self esteem. Children have so many challenges as they grow and develop and many need guidance to remind them that they are special and unique. Susan T Howson, the creator of Manifest Your Magnificence has described it perfectly when she states "sometimes things are said or done to us that make us forget about who we truly are and our self esteem suffers." Manifest Your Magnificence products and services are tools that can help remind children of their Magnificence.


When the Manifest Your Magnificance affirmation cards were offered to review through Family Review Network, I jumped at the chance to review them after I checked their website and read about these products. I have a 10 yeard old son who is at the age where he is dealing with challenges with friends. He's had some struggles and he was starting to feel badly about himself. We have used these colorful and bold cards with such positive affirmations to remind him that he is a very special boy.

We had the chance to sit down and open the box when it arrived. We were both impressed at the packaging as the affirmation cards are all housed in their very own box that is bright and colorful. You can keep them all together and then choose a card a day to focus on , discuss or even carry one with you as a visual reminder. The cards appear very durable and the drawings and sayings are just wonderful, very upbeat and positive. Children can use the cards to journal and write about, or they can even use them in a dramatic way through singing, dancing and acting. There are many options to use the cards.


Some of the cards look like this:

There is also a CD version that you can listen to the same positive affirmations that are on the cards. You can listen to a sample tracks at the Magnificant Creations website HERE.
