Bonding over Beauty Review and Giveaway

By Praises from a Wife and Mommy! -


"Bonding over Beauty by Erika Katz is a great mother-daughter beauty guide to foster self-esteem, confidence, and trust."  
Mom's with daughters this book is perfect for you!!!  :)   I thought that this book would remind me of the things I knew already about beauty but wow my eyes have opened up to so many new ideas!  :)  
Here are the topics in each chapter that you will get to read about:
1. Bonding over Her Hair
2. Bonding over How She Cares for Her Skin
3. Bonding over Makeup & Brows
4. Bonding over Her Hands & Feet
5. Bonding over Getting rid of Unwanted Hair
6. Bonding over Puberty & Hygiene (Yes, it can be done!)
7. Bonding over Nutrition & Fitness
8. Bonding over Aromatherapy to Feel Beautiful
9. Bonding over Getting Her Ready to Be Away from Home

I know I still have a few years before my daughter enters the tween years but I am so looking forward to discussing and creating new memories using the many ideas in this book.  I am one excited mom that I know my daughter and I can create fond memories while learning how to care for the beautiful bodies that Christ gave us.  

In the caring for skin chapter I was delighted to read a few different recipes for sensitive skin as my daughter has sensitive and very dry skin.  It really is helpful to know what not to do for those skin types!  I also was shocked that I have been told so many myths about beauty, such as it really is OK to shave many different areas because your hair WILL NOT grow back thicker or darker!!  Trust me there are several other myths that we have been told that will make you wonder who started telling us these silly myths.  

I know this book covers the beauty end of it and when my daughter is older to discuss these things I will use this book along with the help of God to remind her who she is in CHRIST JESUS!    I do not want to teach her the beauty things unless it is done with Biblical principles at the same time, as true beauty is from within.

Bonding over her hair! I am not a girly girl and definitely not good at doing hair, it might be a fun chapter to take some of the frustration out of it for me!

My daughter got one of those Orbeez bead sets for Christmas.  I was so amazed at how those beads grew in the water.  It was so much fun!  :)  My daughter made her necklaces with the beads but we had a lot more m beads so we have been using them for some fun sensory play.   We put the beads in a dish and we got some glow sticks and put them in the container with the beads.  The beads looked really awesome.  :) My daughter loved it.  She played in the dark with the beads and glow sticks for a long time.  :)

Beating the Heat with Ice Cube Painting

I LOVE LOVE LOVE being a mom!  I love that my daughter is at a age where she wants to do arts n crafts and is a little sponge learning and trying new things.  
With the heat of the week I wanted another activity that would help keep us cool.  Ice cube painting was a great idea for 90 degree days with lots of humidity.   
Not only was this fun but very easy to make.  All I did was put water in my ice cube tray and then added food coloring and then put in the freezer.  SUPER FUN AND EXTREMELY EASY!  
Selah's face she makes when she is concentrating.  
Her first drawing on paper.   
This is an old dish towel that I did not use anymore.  
You could set the ice cube in one spot and let it melt for a little bit and then move it.  It created a very neat tye-dye look.  :)  I LOVED IT!  Selah had so much fun moving the ice cubes around.  :) 
Her name kinda disappeared but this looks so cool!  I love love love it!  :) 
We want to do this again!  :)

Last week we tried out the fizzing sidewalk chalk- click here to read that review.

This week it is liquid chalk spray.  They are a bit similar but yet different.  Here is how to make it:


Supplies:1 tsp. washable tempura paint1 cup of hot water1/2 cup of cornstarchsquirt of dishwashing liquid1 squirt bottle- I found them at the dollar store1.  Add cornstarch to one cup of hot water whisking to mix so that there are no clumps. 2.  Add one teaspoon of washable tempura paint and a quirt of dishwashing liquid.  Mix well. 3.  Pour it into your squirt bottles and shake well. 4.  Go have fun!!!  
This kept my daughters attention much longer the the fizzy chalk last week.  I also think this was easier to work with and just more fun in general.  I love seeing the chalk wet but then to see it dry.  I think it dried darker so it was fun to see the changes.  :)  Ready, Set, Go!  Have some fun!

She is like her daddy, when he is work…
