Every Night is Game Night!

I got to try Monopoly Junior for free, thanks to Influenster Canada and Hasbro! I got it in a Voxbox called the Hasbro Gaming VoxBox.

At first glance, you think this version of Monopoly Junior is just like all the other ones.... Grab a token, roll the die, and move around the board collecting property. Whoever has the most money, or bankrupts the other players, wins!

In this version, the pieces are a dog, cat, boat, and car, with tokens, to match, as well as cards with the picture of the token you chose, so that other players can see which piece you are. The tokens replace the houses you would normally put on the board when buying property. Instead of having different money amounts, there are only 1's available to pay, which makes it so much easier for younger kids to count out the correct amount.
A few of the chance cards are a little different, as well. Some of them are token specific to getting a piece of property, so if you draw a Chance card that has a picture of a dog on it, and you're the cat, just give the chance card to the player who is the dog and draw another one.


Overall, I would definitely recommend this game, not only for kids who are just learning how to play board games, but also kids who are experienced and enjoy playing them! Both my kids had a blast playing this game, and thought the tokens were just so cute! Monopoly Junior was able to hold their attention long enough to play a full game, which is sometimes hard to do with kids.

Stayfree Challenge

Do you remember those Stayfree pad commercials where they poor the blue dye onto the pads? I certainly do, and had always wanted to try it. Thanks to Journeys of the Zoo , I got the chance! I signed up on her blog, and was sent a Stayfree kit to try out at home for the #StayfreeChallengeContest . It was exactly like they showed in the commercials. Put the Stayfree pad on one side, put the competitor's pad on the other, pour blue dye onto both, wait 30 seconds for the pad to absorb the liquid, then use the blotting paper to see how much the pad had soaked up. Stayfree is the clear winner! If you've ever thought about switching brands, maybe this will help. Here are my results:

This hair dye smells way better, too, because there's no ammonia. If you're looking for a great semi-permanent hair dye, this is it!! Before After Looking to change your color, but worried you won't like it once you dye it? With over 30 colors to choose from, I'm sure you'll find one you like!
