Littlest Pet Shop 3: Biggest Stars (Product Review)

From time to time I am offered products for review. I was not paid for this review, this is my opinion of the product and the results from the experiences of my own children who tried out the game LITTLEST PET SHOP 3: BIGGEST STARS for review.

In LITTLEST PET SHOP 3: BIGGEST STARS, a group of cutesy animal friends have a chance to compete on a big TV dance show and become famous like their idols. You get to control several different pets over the course of the game, with the ability to name them and customize their looks at the hair salon and accessories shop.  We all know kids LOVE that! Much like the webkin phenominon. You'll play through several missions that require you to help out friends and gather ingredients that can be used to make snacks (which can be fed to your pets) or fabrics (which can be used to create new clothes for the critters). There's quite a bit of variety in these missions, all of which surround the central rhythm game that simulates the dance competition.
There's a great deal of variety in Littlest Pet Shop 3: Biggest Stars, and some very nice customization options. None of the missions pose much of a actual challenge, but most Littlest Pet Shop fans probably aren't looking for a video game that will test their reflexes or their puzzle-solving prowess. They probably want a ride similar to that of Webkins online games. The LPS3 game serves its purpose in providing kids who love these cute toys an opportunity to have a bit of fun interacting with the characters. Players can roam freely around the game world and take it all at their own pace, but the central objective-based storyline will always be there to keep them moving on and never getting stuck with a "what next?" moment. The format is definitely the right way to go for a game like this. My only complaint is probably great marketing by the games maker; the developers of this game made three different versions, each with its own exclusive characters. This may send the message to kids that they need to get all three editions.  Irritating and costly to parents. The game itself is a generally inoffensive, fun-loving romp about animals that want to get onto an American Idol-like TV show. Parents should be aware that the storyline is centered around seeking fame and the plot's already-famous characters are idolized. This game will open the door for parents to ask the questions: Are celebrities better than non-famous people in any ways? Would getting on TV really make you happy?

And with the Scripture I Corinthians 13:13 printed around the photo, you will feel a little brighter every time you see this elegant Christian frame. This also makes for a wonderful gift for nearly any occasion.

Madison Atwood is a disabled 11-year old girl. For Christmas 2006, Madison’s mom decided that Madison would paint a picture of a heart as a gift for her dad. An artist friend, Holly, outlined a heart in pencil. She gave Madison the paint brush (one color at a time) and Madison started to trace the outline in lots of bright colors. When Holly gave Madison the turquoise colored brush, she turned her back for a second and Madison colored a big circle over the heart! They initially thought the painting was ruined. But as they looked a little closer, it became clear that the “big blob” was the globe, and the whole image was an example of how big God’s love is for our world. Madison’s “Big Heart, Little Globe” became the inspiration for the John 3:16 Heart and Globe print. Now, when Madison sees her picture, she says, “Our world is so small but God’s love is so BIG!” What a wonderful reminder!

Sensa-Product Review-

I was recently contacted by Sensa for a product review. As a mother of three children, who juggles a busy schedule, I thought I would like to see if Sensa is something that I might be interested in trying as a weight loss system to boost the effects of my lifestyle.

What is Sensa?
Sensa is unlike any other weight-loss program. It is a 6-month system of "Tastants" that are sprinkled on your food to help you feel full faster, stay satisfied longer and lose weight.
It is not a diet. You can continue to eat all your favorite foods and still lose weight. There are no prepackaged meals, stimulants, drugs or diuretics.
It uses your senses of smell and taste to control appetite. Although many people think the feeling of hunger or fullness comes from your stomach – it is actually governed by the satiety center in your brain. When Sensa Tastants are sprinkled on food, it triggers this satiety center, so you feel satisfied with less food.

I tried this product and found it to be simple to use.....if you get into a routine of using it. I had some memory issues, which now puts me back at square one. The product comes in a package slightly larger than a tic tac box. It has a salty side and a sweet side. Depending on your meal, you shake a dusting of the Sensa seasoning over your food and then eat.

I could not taste the product, which was a concern of mine. Who wants to taste something bad? I knew I would never stick to it if it was...... BUT it wasn't!!! Because it has no taste and did not affect the taste of my food, I didn't mind using it. It was remembering to use it. Like any weight loss routine and healthy lifestyle, it is about making concious decisions. I needed to be more aware to "shake".

I plan to give this product a fresh start and see if I can achieve some results. If you would like to try Sensa with me, please do. The year is still fresh for those weight loss stalled resolutions.
