Review: Bright Stripes – Spa*rkle Rainbow Festival Body Art ...

Bright Stripes sent us their latest in their spa line of natural beauty goods for free to check out and review. Opinions are our own.

Eva has been experimenting with her hair and makeup recently. I knew that she would be all over some body art. The Bright Stripes Spa*rkle Rainbow Festival Body Art ($19.99) is a set of 6 rainbow colored tattoo markers, 4 colors of shimmer cream, 10 stencil stickers, 25 sticky gems, and easy instructions. Eva used the markers to give her self some tattoos from her favorite shows and books. There were stencils in the set but she always does her own thing. She also enjoys using her brother as a canvas. He enjoys that as well. Here is Eva’s finished artwork.

I think that Eva would also like to try out the Spa*rkle Hair Chalk Pastels and Barrettes Set ($14.99) is a fun way to add temporary color to a few strands of hair or go bold with purple, blue or metallic pink hair stripes. She had green hair this Summer but cannot have colored hair at school. With this set she could color her hair on Friday and have it all washed out before she returns to school the next week. This is also another set that she’d use to experiment on her brother.

Also of note, each of the Spa*rkle kits allow kids to feel good about themselves and have a good experience. Behind the scenes, Bright Stripes made sure none of the ingredients were derived from or tested on animals, and the glitter is ocean-safe and biodegradable.

Sorting Transformers ...

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02424 Yesterday I drove Andy to school. Today I walked over with them. I did so not because I didn't think Andy would be safe on their own. Andy has been walking home from school for well over a year so walking to school is the same thing just in reverse. I wanted to see how long it actually took for the walk to go. I of course, over estimated how early we had to head over. The walk itself only takes a brisk 15 minutes. And that is at a modified teenager's shuffle. So Andy can leave the house around 6:25-6:30 and still get there by 6:45 when the doors open to the High School. Good to know. During the day I started one of the projects I've been meaning to start and have been putting off. I'm sorting through my Transformers and getting them ready to sell. I have talked with the guys at Double Midnight Comics about selling them my collection. Not the stuff I have on display and also I am picking out some figures that I want to keep as part of the collectio...

Time with Lexi ...

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02401 Today We watched my sister's dog, Lexi. My sister and her husband were coming back up here from their home and they had boarded the dog. They weren't sure if they'd be there in time to pick her up so we did that for them. We had Lexi for a couple of hours before they arrived and we had dinner together. Lexi was pretty chill for the most part until Torrun came in to the living room to investigate. At first they just looked at each other. Andy grabbed for LEXI's leash and then Lexi tried to go after Torrun. Torrun ended up bolting for the upstairs and we did not see her for hours. James knew enough not to even come down.

Time For Another Change ...

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02402 Andy decided to clean their room today. In so doing they decided that they no longer wish to hang on to their LEGO sets. So, I now have them all and I spent the afternoon disassembling many sets to fit into the one bucket. There were many Minecraft sets in there. What I'm going to do eventually is take what is in the bucket and separate it down to the individual sets that I still have instructions books for. The organizing of that is going to be daunting. I will try and figure out an efficient way to separate everything but I'm sure that will take some time. Andy also decided that they no longer want the piggy bank that was mine. That I am putting into a box for Andy for when they get older and maybe have kids of their own.
