Dean’s Haul

I have so many hauls to catch up on that has happened over the last few months. I have just been busy with other content and my life that I never got to it. I hope you don’t mind some more hauls. I honestly love hauls, reviews, and empties. You get to see the whole life cycle of a product. I made a Sally’s order recently for my hair specifically. I am going to be making another Sally’s order for my hair and project pan for my birthday. I just got a $5 coupon code for Sally’s that expires at the end of May. I will use it up for sure. I am debating whether to sign up for their rewards or not. I don’t know how often my hair orders will be for supplies and whether it would be worth it or not.

Fisher Price BeatBelle

So, this is a $40 toy that Walmart had on clearance for $20. I had to buy it for Dean. It is so cute and we love playing with it. She does a lot of cool stuff and is very interactive. He can’t follow her commands or anything, but loves it when I play with her for him. It even lets you record a message and he loves it when she plays back to him. Even his ABA therapists have a fun time with this toy, too.

Munchkin Weighted Flexi-Straw Cup

I bought Dean two of these. He is drinking water from these cups, but still drinking milk from a bottle. Small steps. He drinks a lot of water and I like to mix tap with flavored to give it some taste. I might grab a few more of these, too. This is the only “sippy” cup that he knows how to use. The weighted straw keeps the straw primed with water in it. He doesn’t have to suck very hard to get any water out. Going to start slowly offering Dean milk in this kind of cup and see how it goes.

Fisher Price Snap-Lock Caterpillar

Dean is learning in therapy how to pull apart and pop together these kinds of activity beads. I bought him his own set to use at home to get familiar with and play with. He doesn’t really like to play with these, but loves to chew on them. I need to find another way to get him to be engaged with these. The ones Jen brings are rubberized, so I am wondering if he finds these too hard to do. We will keep trying though.

Parent’s Choice Diaper Rash Ointment

I needed another tube of this just to have on hand. I used up all three partial tubes during the week diarrhea episode he had in February. You never know when he might get a rash. I even use this when he gets heat rash on his arms and legs. It works great for any type of rash that creeps up on him.

Nickelodeon Bubble Bath

This has such a nice sweet banana scent that really lingers in the tub during his own bath experience. I even use it now. It is the only bubble bath that I have found that keeps its scent after it hits the water.Dean is obsessed with bubble baths now and he has one about 3 times a week. He’ll ask to take a tub by going into the bathroom and slapping the tub a few times. He is so sweet!

These are the things that I have picked up for Dean lately. If you have kids, have you used any of these products?

March Empties

Another month gone and another month’s worth of empties. We are getting very close to my birthday month and my vacation month. My dad is having foot surgery and I will be taking a month off of work to take care of him and my son. This year is really flying by. Why couldn’t high school have flown by as much as time seems to do nowadays? Seriously. Time goes by so slow when you are young with no money and when you actually grow up and can spend, time flies by so much you don’t really get the chance to do what you want to do. April starts my lifestyle changes. I have new hair (coming up soon), new exercise routine, and new meal planning. I hope that I stick with it.

For some reason, the last picture was half corrupted, but I am including it anyway. I already threw out all of these empties. I am trying to review the products in my empties that I want to review before throwing them all out. That is why my empties have been late recently. I currently have a ton of older products that I used up that I have yet to write reviews on. I want to review anything new coming in, so I can tackle that empties bucket without adding more to it. You will probably be seeing a shit ton of reviews, especially when I start up college. Reviews are super easy for me to throw on my blog when they are already typed up. 🙂

Raspberry Rescue

Nickelodeon Paw Patrol Bubble Bath Raspberry Rescue

I really enjoyed the light fluffy bubbles that this created. You couldn’t smell it really, but it added moisture to the bath. The more Dean moved around in the tub, the more bubbles this bubble bath made. I will repurchase, because Dean loves a good bubble bath. This bottle lasted a long time, because he only does a bubble bath once a week. He doesn’t try to eat the bubbles and a lot of the time, he doesn’t pay much attention to them, except for when he wants to smash all the bubbles. He will move around so much that the bubbles just keep recreating. He’s such a silly determined boy. I wonder who he gets that from? lol

With Love,

January Empties

Remember when I said that I would be doing a new format for my empty series? Well, here it is, the moment you all have been waiting for. I decided to show my empties in group photos and flat lays to be able to store more pictures of my products rather than have everything in a single photo. It makes more sens to me this way, since I am a reviewing channel and have been deleting a ton of photos to make room for more photos. I hope you all like this new format. Give me a like if you do!

I might be adjusting the challenge and make it harder. I guess, it all depends upon how much of this stuff I am using up.

October Empties

Another month, another empties post. I went through surprising a lot this month. I wasn’t expecting to use up so much, but it seems like a lot of my products are on their last legs. I expect November and December to be heavy months as well. I am grateful that I never lost power in the storm that terrorized New England this week and I pray for the lives lost in the terrorist attack in New York City. That city has gone through way too much. My car was damaged in the storm, but at least, no one got hurt. I hope everyone is having a nice weekend. I’ll be outside playing with my son today.

I am super impressed with what I was able to move out this month. I’m running low on product reviews, so I might disappear during the week with no new posts once in a while. On those weeks, I will be writing product reviews for my blog. I like to hand write them first before typing them up on my blog. Next week will probably be an empty week. I’m going to try to write as many reviews as I can. Maybe I can empty out my review basket. I’m hoping to write ten reviews, because lets face it, there are like 50 products in my review basket right now. lol. If I do 5 reviews a day this weekend, I’ll be happy.

For Nickelodeon Paw Patrol 3-in-1 Blueberry Bark

I loved washing Dean with this product. It is thicker than the other washes and moisturizing. It has a nice slip to it and smells like blueberry oatmeal. It has enough moisture to condition Dean’s thin hair, but I always moisturize his body after a bath/shower. He has a tendency to have dry arms and legs. Dean loves that he gets to play with his T.V. friends in the tub. I keep the empty bottles for him to play with as long as the caps stay intact. They have a tendency to break and I chuck them out when that happens. I used the Marshall one for the first time and the cap broke. He’s still playing with Chase though.

With Love,

❤ Selena Hannah ❤

June Empties

Another month gone and another month of empties. June was a light month for me and I didn’t really use up that many products. I did use up a few products that I haven’t reviewed before so as usual there will be a lot of product reviews this month. I’m going to try to have a post up everyday in July. Hopefully, I can keep this up the whole entire month. I plan on heading out to swim after I write this, so I’m glad it was a short month!

May Empties

I have a whole lot of empties this month that my basket was overflowing. I had to photograph everything and start this post in mid-May. That is how many empties I have this month. I actually even cut May a few days short. I’m writing this on May 28th, because the basket filled up good again. It’s close enough to the end of May and it will just give a little bit of a boost to June. Although, I don’t have anything really close to being empty yet, which is why I just decided to do my count today.

I think 51 empties is enough for one month. I’m happy ending it here early. This was such a heavy month. I look forward to seeing what I can accomplish next month. You’ll be seeing plenty of reviews for the next few months to come. I’m behind in my product reviews. I have so many prewritten on paper for my blog. I probably have 50 reviews right now, waiting to be featured. I continue to write them throughout the month as well on paper. I tend to review around 40 items a month on paper, but there is not that many days in a month. Naturally, I got behind. I hope you don’t mind seeing reviews 5 days a week and my more unique posts on the weekends/holidays.

With Love ❤
