Micro fiber travel towel
Hello all!!
So if you've for children with any kind puff social life or you spend more than five minutes outside EVER, I'd suggest investing in one of these amazing towels!!
They say dynamite comes in small packages and they weren't kidding when they describe something like this amazing towel. This thing starts out in a package that's about an inch thick & ends up in a full sized towel. It's soft, super absorbent and dries so fast!! This is truly a must have for any active person!

Short handle nylon and bristle set
Hello all!!
Art Supply week continued!!!! Lol well so once again, U.S. Art Supply has sent me yet another GREAT little kit of brushes.
Both of my daughters are burgeoning artists and then my 3 year old is like any 3 year old and loves to paint. I love the quality and tons of uses I feel like I get every time I add another set of these brushes to my collection.  I liked that these brushes included a palette knife as well because my middle daughter Ella and I have been working with acrylics. The palette knife is nice to have to teach her how to mix colors as well as how to use with a palette correctly. I home school my children and with these brushes, i feel like I'm just as capable of teaching them art as any school program.

Travelling Dog bowls?!?!

Collapsible travel dog bowls
Hello all!!

I love my dog, a lot! I mean, I've never been much of a dog person but every now and then a cute little dog catches my heart & I would bend over backwards for it. To the point that I've missed out on nice places to live because they wouldn't allow dogs!! My daughters love my dog and she loves them too! She's protective of my girls and she's the best alarm in the world!! We like to take her on trips to our friend's houses and to the park. One thing I don't like is feeling like I've got to pack up my dogs stuff like she's a little kid to have a run in the park. Having to scramble to find a throw away plastic bowl at my friend's house to make sure I can feed and water her. It's a hassle & I'm constantly looking for things to make my life easier so when I got the chance to review these collapsible travel dog bowls, I was pretty excited!
These bowls are very well designed. First all they came with a ton of cute little extras, some stickers, whistles & handy carabiners to attach them to a back pack or purse even. They collapse completely flat but are so wel made that when they're expanded you don't have too worry about stability. They're durable but light at the same time! I also like that they're different color so I can instruct my daughter to feed or water Sasha out of the red bowl and then she will remember to continue to water her out of the red bowl so there's no food chunks in her water.
These really are some super nice bowls. A good value for the money& they'd als make a great gift for any dog lovers in your life!!

Art supplies= happiness 3.5

5.5x8.5 inch 100 sheet sketch book
Hello all!!
At the Risk of repeating myself I'm doing yet another blog this morning on how stoked I am that I was chosen to review all these amazing art products from U.S. Art Supply.
When it comes down to quality in Art supplies, I've learned that when you cut corners in quality for sake of price, you very what you pay for.
When my daughters first started out drawing and doodling, I remember purchasing those support cheap Art pads from the dollar store and it was great to see how they flew through the pages as they expressed themselves artistically. But as their skill grew, so did their need for higher quality products. Their skill level grew from crayons to color pencils to Copic markers and sakura pens. And the most frustrating thing for an artist, after artistic creativity block is to have skill But inadequate supplies and medium.
That's why I've been so pleased to have the chance to try all these products from U.S. Art Supply is because they have sent me so much quality in every item over received. I loved the big sketchbook for multiple doodles and large character development for my daughter who likes anime and the smaller sketch book is the perfect size for my budding fashion designer. & every item I've received from this company would make a great addition to any beginner or experienced artist kit.

9X12 inch 100 sheet sketch book
Hello all!!!
Wow!!! What a week for Art supplies and I'm STILL not done!!! I've really been blessed, considering how much My girls LOVE art, to have received all these Great items to review for little or no cost! If I had to pick the one thing I spend money on More than anything, it'd be sketch books. The thing w/ sketch books is that you want to make sure you're purchasing quality paper products or you end up with 40 scratch pads of junk paper, not because your kids don't appreciate it, they're just not able to draw any quality pictures on junk paper.
When i received these pads, the first thing I noticed that I really liked was that they were bound at the top of the page. I dislike when sketch books are bound at the side because I feel like I'm constantly trying to draw with little metal torture instruments strapped to the side.
These Pads are GREAT for using with different types of medium and I love that the sharpies even have a hard time bleeding thru!
These are great books for the beginner our experienced artists!

15 Piece paint brush set
Hello all!!
It's art supply review week so if you're bored reading about art supplies you may want to skip these next few blogs lol
So U.S. Art Supply has done it yet again and sent me out some amazing brushes!! I've received a few different sets of brushes and each one would be a great addition to any experienced or beginner's brush set.
The set I'm reviewing now is the 15 brush set. There are 11 short handled brushes and four long handled brushes but I like that they're all easy to use even for children. It's a good assortment of brushes for oil, acrylic or water colors. Since I'm a beginning artist, I like to experiment with different mediums. I also like to give the kids an option to explore different mediums and these are a good set of brushes to do that with...
All of the brushes I've received from this company have been labeled/numbered but I especially like that these have colored marks on the bottom as well so when I get a particular look that I like or I'm looking for a particular brush I've used before, I don't have to remember what# it was. These are some really great products!!!!

Art supplies= happiness

9X12 50 page sketch book
Hello all!!
I live in a house full of budding artists. My 12 year old is a comic designing, manga drawing, character developing genius. Her 9 year old sister is a budding fashionista who designs clothes like she's the next Versace...or Mary Kate & Ashley!!
When you live in a house of artists, good sketch paper is a Must!! My kids get excited when they get new sketch books for their birthdays and the request I get more than anything when I ask what they want for their birthday is " art supplies" ! Which is why I'm so glad that U.S. art supply has offered me quite a few items for review lately including a series of beautiful sketch books.
I really like these books because they're well bound, I'm not worried about the paper falling out after the first time you use it which is something you worry about from cheap sketch books. Also, the paper is thick enough that it can be used with many different types of mediums- pencil, pens, markers and even water colors without bleeding through which is great when you've got enough art supplies to rival hobby lobby and I'm NOT exaggerating!!
These are definitely some high quality art supplies and you'd be doing any budding or experienced artists a favor when you pick These up!!!
