Snack Attack is the ultimate game for any family with small children. My kids, aged 3 and 5 loved playing this game! They especially liked spinning the wheel! This game teaches visual recognition, matching, memory, fine-motor skills and the lifelong lesson of playing fair!  I especially loved that the game was fast-paced instead of long and boring. 

The best feature for a mother of 2 children, is the token tray. This tray also serves as the place to keep all the pieces when the game is over. Makes this game and its pieces so much easier to find! Innovative, affordable, fun and organized! Just what a family needs! 

Ages:  4 and upPlayers:  2 - 6 Features: 

• 1 Snack Attack! Spinner Platter
• 66 Double-Sided Snack Tokens
• 6 Double-Sided Snack Plates with two levels of play
• Parent’s Guide

First off, let me begin by saying that I am completely thrilled to have been chosen among numerous digitally-connected women in the She's Connected Community to be an official Toshiba Holiday Hero Brand Ambassador!    The purpose of my assignment is to make buyers aware of the AMAZING products Toshiba has to offer. The Toshiba Tablet and the Toshiba Passive 3D TL515 Series TV in particular.

I was given a Toshiba Camileo HD Camcorder (sweet bonus) to document my experience. I have managed to take some pictures to assist with my review. 

Since Toshiba products are found in a variety of stores, this assignment was very easy  to access. The closest retailer I was sure would have what I was looking for was Best Buy. Surprisingly, they had both the items I needed. I really fell in love with both these products and I know you will too, after reading this!

Toshiba Tablet
This tablet is slim, highly functional and really easy to use! This is especially important when it comes to people who are just crossing over to a tablet from a PC. With the amount of technology changing at a rapid rate, individuals will feel at ease using this tablet with its easy navigation, and storage capacity. The tablet comes with 8 Gigs of space and the option of expanding to a 32 Gig memory capacity. I also found the dual camera a bonus (my son loved this too) because often times you can only take a picture from the reverse side of a tablet. With the Toshiba Tablet it is easy to take both reverse pics (from the back) and forward facing pictures! Comes in 6 different colors (bonus) and usually sells for $399.99 at Best Buy, but it was on sale for 319.99. What a steal!

FEATURES:

• nVIDIA Tegra 250 processor and 1GB of RAM offers super fast performance for all your basic tasks
• easy set up
• A spacious 10.1" high-res multi-touch widescreen display with an HD view 
• super easy navigation and very responsive touch sensory
• 8GB internal memory to store files as well as a memory card slot for more storage space

• COMES IN 6 DIFFERENT COLORS!!

Toshiba Passive 3D TL515 Series TV 

The Toshiba Passive 3D TV was impressive! Best Buy had 2 of them lined up side by side and they were AMAZING! Since the televisions have a LED screen with 'RealD technology' it was easy to see the difference even with the naked eye (well at least it was for me) This technology lessens eye strain and allows for longer viewing time. So, if you watch a lot of television or like to play a lot of video games this is the TV for you! It also has TriVector 2D to 3D technology that makes you gain 3D experience with the usage for glasses. This television series comes 3D ready, which means you do not have to hook-up an extra box or output to enjoy the experience, like you do with other brands.

This was my favorite part--it has BUILT IN WIFI!! YouTube, Netflix, Facebook and Flickr, and Twitter were all readily available. Because of its incredible capacity and quailty Toshiba Passive 3D TV comes with a large price-tag and sells for  $1399.99 at Best Buy. At first I thought it was a huge price to pay for a television, but this is no ordinary television! personally, I think it is an investment well worth the price tag!

• LED screen with RealD Technology
• longer viewing time with less strain to the eyes
• gaming television
• built in Wifi
• Tri-Vector 2D to 3D Technology
• 3D ready
• Slim, and sleek design

Okay, with this review I was extremely apprehensive. Hair color to review? hummmm what woman in their right mind would actually attempt to color their hair with a box that has never been used in the past? And, why would I want to use an 'organic' hair color...does that even work?

Well, I tried it....and YES it does work!! Amazingly well!

Who knew you don't need ammonia or harsh chemicals to color your hair? My hair feels soft, and shiny without the build up or harsh chemicals I was using before. 

Tints of Nature contain certified organic ingredients and will NOT damage your hair.

With 24 shades, you are bound to find the perfect match!

-Products free of ammonia, resorcinol, nonoxynol and parabens. 
-Certified organic ingredients
-Formulation to reduced PPD levels (less chance of allergic reaction)
-Earth and animal friendly!


The only downside to this product is the price point ($18) as opposed to regular hair color that usually runs $8-11. I also wasn't a fan of the gloves provided, but thats just me being picky. Overall, i think it is well worth the splurge....afterall it is your hair and your body, might as well take care of it while helping the environment.

I've had the color on for about a week now, and it is still as shiny and beautiful as it was on day one. This may have to do with the fact that I am also using the shampoo and conditioner provided with it.
