I set up a little area for the girls to "shop" for their spa supplies. The girls loved picking out their favorite colors of nail polish, lip balms and glosses. It's so fun to how excited they got over all the colors and sparkles!

Each guest received a friendly little bat favor bag that I cut out using my Cricut machine.
 Vampirina nail polish and lip gloss filled the cute goodie bags and the girls could not have been more excited!

After all that "shopping", it was time to take a break with some yummy bat juice ( grape juice)  and sink our fangs into some delicious pink cupcakes.

 One of the girls' favorite things to do at the party was applying these fun Vampirina Press-On Nails. They also loved painting their toenails with the  3 Pack Nail Polish Set and placing the fun Vampirina stickers that come in the set on their toenails.

How adorable is that Vampirina nail file? So cute!

These coffin shaped nail polishes  are so perfect for a Halloween party and they were also the perfect size to fit inside these spook-tacular bat favors I made out of felt using my Cricut Maker.
I also placed a few hair clips and lip glosses inside the bat favors and the girls absolutely loved them!

Each little ghoul received a boo-tiful headband and a resuable bat-tastic canvas bag filled with Townley Girl Vampirina products that they were head over heels in love with!

The little ghouls had a fang-tastic time at the slumber party and loved playing with all their fabulous TownleyGirl goodies! 
I think it's safe to say no one got any sleep at the slumber party but they had the time of their lives giggling, painting nails and having a blast!

Frozen Spa Party with TownleyGirl

This review is based on my opinion. I was provided the sample free of charge by
TownleyGirl.  All ideas and opinions are my own. This post contains affiliate links.



Every little girl I know absolutely LOVES Frozen!  You can imagine my daughter and her little friends excitement when we threw a Frozen Spa Party with TownleyGirl!

We invited a few little princesses over for an afternoon of sweet treats and pampering. Check out the fantastically Frozen spa day below!


Each little princess was given a pail filled with Frozen glitter and confetti nail polish as well as Frozen lip gloss I used mini pails and attached glittery snowflake stickers to the front of the pails. They were the perfect size to hold all the darling favors. 



Even though this was a sweet and simple play date, the girls had to have party hats! I made these enchanting hats with my Cricut Explore Air 2 machine and added a sparkly gem to each hat.


The girls took a quick break from painting their fingernails to have a  nibble of cake. I made a classic round vanilla cake and placed paper snowflakes on top. Nothing like a quick and easy party treat! 


The girls had a blast braiding  hair and donning sparkly bows and tiaras from the  Glam Me Up Set. How cute is that crown topped lip gloss?! The girls loved seeing all of their favorite Frozen characters on their lip balms and polishes. 


The girls were OBSESSED with this Frozen glitter and confetti nail polish  and had a ball painting their fingers and toes all different colors. The confetti nail polish was a particularly a huge hit with the girls because they loved the idea of wearing confetti on their nails.


Frozen Dress- Up Mania Kit had everything to keep the party rolling! From Frozen press on nails to shimmery gems, the girls felt exactly like Elsa in her grand ice castle!


Pedicures are a must for a spa party and the girls had so much fun painting each other's toenails. Some of us moms even got in on the action! We just couldn't pass up a free pedicure, especially one that involved lots of shimmer and glitter.


As a take home favor, I placed a couple  Frozen lip balms, an adorable Frozen hair bow and a Frozen lip gloss with phone inside a goody bag with a sparkly crown attached to it. 

The girls had the time of their lives and are looking forward to our next spa afternoon!
Thank you so much, TownleyGirl!

Expolrer Academy The Nebula Secret

I received this product for free from Moms Meet (www.momsmeet.com) to use and post my honest opinion. Compensation for this post was provided and this page may contain affiliate links.



If you have a young adventurer that is curious about the world around her and loves to explore, you've got to check out these incredible books for young readers by National Geographic.
They're filled with adventure, intrigue and inspiration. 

When our 7 year old cracked open Explorer Academy The Nebula Secret for the first time, she was instantly hooked. She could not put it down and plowed through it in 3 days! What she loved most about this book was all the cool adventures and expeditions Cruz and his friends were a part of and the mystery that surrounded it all. There are a lot of surprises and unexpected twists that will keep you turning pages until you lose track of time. Our daughter is wishing there was a real life Explorer Academy because she is ready to sign up!

Explorer Academy The Nebula Secret is a book filled with intrigue, suspense and is filled with amazing illustrations. We are patiently awaiting for the next book in the series to come out!

Be sure to head over to  National Geographic Kids where your kids can play code-breaking games, learn about their favorite characters in the book and lots more!

Watch the book trailer HERE



The National Geographic Kids Almanac is filled with amazing facts from all around world and everything your kids are fascinated with. I love having our daughter start out the day with "Did you know..." and then she'll fill in the blank with a cool story or fact she read about in the almanac. I love how this book fosters creativity and curiosity and teaches kids how exciting our world is and that we have the power to make it a better place.

Check out the National Geographic Kids site to explore and learn about fascinating facts, play fun games and watch some really cool videos!




To celebrate the launch of Explorer Academy, one lucky family will experience a spectacular ship-based expedition, just like the students at Explorer Academy! The grand prize is a family trip for four to Alaska's Inside Passage from National Geographic Expeditions. Enter the sweepstakes at Explorer Academy Trip. Wouldn't that be an amazing adventure?!
