Despicable Me 3 Hits Theaters June 30 #DespicableMe3

There has been many bath and beauty products over the years geared towards women, teens, and young girls but all the products seem to be the same old thing and have bored a few young girls so much they decided to take matters into their own hands and create a product that not only makes you smell good, but makes you feel good too.
Angels and Tomboys was created by Madison Star & Mallory Iyana after being bored senseless with their body care products.
We had this cool idea to make everyday products that girls use fun. We came up with fun names, characters and unique fragrances for these products and pitched the idea to our mom. She loved it and the rest is history in the making. Our mom named the company Angels and Tomboys as a reflection of our unique and complex personalities and interests. We’re just like every girl in the world because ALL girls are created equally different. Plus, we can all agree that every Angel has a bit of Tomboy in her.
We created Angels and Tomboys so that you can have a product made just for you. If you’re anything like us, and we’re certain that you are, you are tired of wearing your mom’s boring perfume and it’s probably too flowery, too expensive and way too strong. Well, Angels and Tomboys® is just right. Our paraben free, patent pending, vegan friendly formula contains several great vitamins to preserve young skin. It’s a must-have for EVERY girl and every parent can feel good about it. Our fun and unique scents encourage you to be proud, be bold and be you. Love being a girl…because all girls are created equally different.
A little about these young entrepreneur:
Madison Star, born Feb 27, love reading books, baking, and choreographing dance routines, creating cool fashion designs, talking & texting on her phone and the color Turquoise. She likes to collect purses, stickers and bottle caps and can dance, sing and act…She is an honor student, who loves to give back.
Not only does my company donate a portion of proceeds to non profit organizations that focuses on the well-beings of girls, I also volunteer throughout my community and every year for my birthday party I ask attendees to gift me with an item that I can donate to charity. Thus far I’ve donated hundreds of coats and shoes to a women’s shelter in my hometown, Memphis.

It’s so great to see such young girls with so much drive and social conciousness. They have a great start and can’t wait to see what they produce in the future!
About the product:
I was sent 3 delicious scents to try out…Deep Fried Ice Cream, Cotton Candied Apples, & Adventures. But they have so many other scents that will appeal to any personality like Rockin’ Blueberry, Lemonade Doughnuts, & Watermelon Funk just to name a few. I don’t have any girls of my own, but I have three nieces who absolutely love these and will totally be spoiled with whatever scents they want. They come in lotions & body sprays and smell, well, amazing! I’m actually wearing the Cotton Candied Apples right now and can’t stop smelling myself.

If there is one thing that every homeowner needs…it’s power tools! Since we’ve been in apartments for years now we didn’t have need for anything other than a battery opperated screwdriver. Growing up my dad was into buying old cars and fixing them up, and he is also a great carpenter…he’s owned his own carpentry business for years. So I grew up around quite a bit of power tools and have seen them get better and better over the years.
The past several years his go-to has been Ryobi. It’s a quality brand that he can rely on at a great price that won’t leave him in the hole after a job. Every brand trys to better them selves and stay new and inovative…that’s just what Ryobi has done with there new ONE+ & DOCKit lines.
Ryobi ONE+ 18-Volt Lithium-Ion Compact Drill/Driver Kit
Ryobi introduces the new 18-Volt ONE+ Lithium-Ion Compact Drill/Driver Kit, featuring a more compact and powerful drill (compared to previous model P817). This 18-Volt Drill/Driver Kit includes a Compact Drill/Driver with Screwdriver Bit, Dual Chemistry Charger, (2) P102 18-Volt ONE+ Compact Lithium-Ion Batteries, Tool Bag and Operator’s Manuals. This kit is backed by a 3-Year Warranty.
Ryobi DOCKit Black Oxide Starter Kit with Free Wood Drilling Kit
The RYOBI DOCKit Black Oxide Starter Kit with Free Wood Drilling Kit offer a variety of tools for driving and drilling. The 55-piece Black Oxide Starter Kit includes black oxide drill bits for drilling wood, metal and plastic, as well as an assortment of driving bits for driving all sorts of fasteners.
The 11-piece Wood Drilling Kit contains brad and spade point drill bits. Both kits feature a convenient storage system to save you time and frustration from digging through all your loose bits.
Built to hold up to five RYOBI accessory kits, the DOCKit tray has a versatile design that allows you to hang it on your wall with the built-in hanging holes or rest it on a tabletop. The rubber grips on the top and bottom of the tray ensure your cases are stored securely. Both kits also have easy-to-read descriptions on the side of the cases for easy identification while docked on the DOCKit storage tray.
My husband was a very excited man and couldn’t wait to put it to use! So far we’ve only hung a few pictures and guitars…but we have much more on our to-do list! It charges quickly and all stores neatly on the wall and in the provided case. I personally LOVE the DOCKit storage system! Keeps everything nice and tidy and where I can find it for the next use. The drill comes with two batteries which is nice for when you have longer projects and need to switch out instead of waiting for the battery to recharge. If you’re looking to add a set of tools to your home, I highly recommend checking out Ryobi ONE+ & DOCKit at the Home Depot!

It’s been looking and feeling a little like fall around here. The leaves have started to fall and my bulbs are starting to bloom. Cooler weather is on its way! Fall has always been a favorite of mine. I love the cool weather, the muted colors and the scents. Pumpkin Spice is a favorite scent…it just smells like fall. My kids would agree with me, that’s why they love this Pumpkin Spice Slime. It’s a perfect time to sit down and have a little slime fun together, especially on the rainy fall day’s we’re already having.
