The GB Asana35 AP Carseat is About Safety, Convenience and is Just a Must Have
I participated in an Influencer Activation on behalf of Influence Central for GB. I received a product sample to facilitate my review and to thank me for my participation.
When it comes to safety, nothing is too good for my children. Even though I don't travel very often and that means day to day, I want to ensure my children are safe and secure in the vehicle. It's all very confusing as every day it seems that a carseat is being recalled or you read all these 'make sure you secure your child appropriately' messages. When I look for a carseat, I read reviews and try to determine which is the best one to purchase. This is where the GB Asana35 AP carseat came into play as I saw wonderful reviews so I had to try one out for myself. Given they have been making carseats for over 25 years in their state of the art facilities was also a plus. The GB Asana35 AP carseat is a rear facing carseat that allows for a weight range 4-35 pounds and height range 32" or less. You might be thinking that it's a carseat so what's so different about this one over the others? There are many features that really drew me to the GB Asana35 AP carseat:
Overall, the GB Asana35 AP is definitely a carseat that I would highly recommend and my oldest daughter agrees as she has a baby. It's all about safety and convenience and that is what won us over. It's convenient to use, unlike many others, and the safety features are just amazing.

You might be thinking that it's a carseat so what's so different about this one over the others? There are many features that really drew me to the GB Asana35 AP carseat:
- Adjustable recline foot button that allows you to easily change the recline position without tearing out your hair.
- The push button lower anchor connectors are stored in the bottom. Not as easy as the adjustable recline foot but they make it easy to store.
- The FirmFit System allows for a load leg at the base thus assisting with a downward rotation in a crash. It's adjustable to allow for different lengths which is great given how no two vehicles seem to be alike.
- The FirmFit Arm provides a better, tighter and safer fit to your vehicle with minimal effort and that is always a positive. Carseats can be a pain in using but this one really is revolutionary in the ease of use and the safety aspect in my opinion. It provides 20 pounds of additional force and provides the assurance that the seat is secure at all times.
- The FirmFit harness is also a great feature in that every time you adjust the headrest and the harness, they adjust together making it much safer and convenient. When I had to tighten, all I had to do was pull the tightening strap at the feet location and it pulled the harness and headrest to my baby's shoulders. Not having to worry if I have everything just right is a huge plus to me.
- An infant insert for smaller infants 4-6 pounds which can be used also for infants weighing 6-10 pounds. In the past, I had to purchase inserts so this is definitely a nice feature. It's large for the seat but it's a necessity when the infant is small.
- The built in storage area for the manual is a win as well because I always think I will remember where I store the manuals and always forget.
- Side impact protection coupled with all the other safety features really gives me peace of mind.
- It's stylish and fits any interior relative to color.

The base is easy to install and there are easy to follow instructions along the side while the manual stores in the base. |

I really love the FirmFit System load leg given the extra safety protection it provides. It really makes sense! |

Reclines to fit baby's needs and preferences. |
Installation was a breeze too! No more fishing your hands and becoming a contortionist trying to get the belts through the holes. Instead you just press a button to lift up the latch that holds the seat belt and then you just buckle it in. This is also great for those families that have to move the carseat to another vehicle. Finally, an easy way to do this!
Just pull the lever in the back and the carseat pulls right out. Putting it back on only involves sitting it on the base and it snaps in. The ergonomic handle also makes carrying your baby in the crook of your arm as most parents know, we have to be the masters of carrying everything and the kitchen sink. It's also lightweight at 9.2 pounds without the base.
Overall, the GB Asana35 AP is definitely a carseat that I would highly recommend and my oldest daughter agrees as she has a baby. It's all about safety and convenience and that is what won us over. It's convenient to use, unlike many others, and the safety features are just amazing.

Crepe Erase First Impression
I participated in an Influencer Activation on behalf of Influence Central for Crepe Erase. I received product samples to facilitate my review and a promotional item to thank me for my participation.
I'm nearly obsessed with the latest and greatest beauty and health products that help me to look my best while retaining my youth. I've tried all sorts of creams, serums and many devices. I suppose it might be a vanity issue or I think I just have my paternal grandmother's genes in that I put a lot of attention to appearances. My latest and potentially greatest find is the Crepe Erase™ system. I was definitely excited to be able to participate in this unique line of products because it addressed something that many wrinkle/youth based products don't and that is other areas other than your face. My oldest claims I'm too critical when it comes to aging and I do notice necklines, chests, knees and elbows. When I see the celebrities wearing next to nothing and are over 45 or so, I notice all those body parts while they have flawless faces. To me, if I want to maintain a healthier, younger looking appearance, it means all of me.
I'm only writing this first post (review) on my initial thoughts on Crepe Erase™ system. I will admit that I'm a stickler to packaging and I think that's the intermediate graphic artist in myself coming out. I look for packaging that is elegant or sophisticated. The packaging is simple with eye appealing colors. To me, although packaging counts, the products efficacy is most important. The packaging isn't overdone and doesn't overshadow the product. The Exfoliating Body Polish comes in a flip top tube making it easy to apply and the Intensive Body Repair Treatment is a large mouthed, circular jar that makes it easy to scoop up a pearl shaped amount. The fact that the Crepe Erase™ system also has Jane Seymour as a spokesperson doesn't hurt! I gravitated towards her a bit more after seeing her cruel performance in Austenland. I diverted a bit so back on track!
What is the Crepe Erase™ system? It is a two part system that doesn't take a lot of time in spite of how it sounds.
Step 1: Exfoliating Body Polish. It is a very gently body polish that contains TruFirm™ which is a breakthrough firming complex that works on rejuvenating dry, aging, crepey-looking skin on the neck, chest, legs and arms. I'm going to be 47 this July and I have terrible sun damage on my chest and I'm noticing the dry, crepey-look on my neck, knees and elbows so this was wonderful to know that it works on those most neglected areas. It exfoliates dead skin cells to help reveal smoother younger-looking skin while promoting healthy skin turnover thus making overall skin texture improved.
Step 2: Intensive Body Repair Treatment. This ultra-rich formula also contains TruFirm™ which is their exclusive skin firming complex infused with a rejuvenating blend of botanicals to visibly smooth, firm and tighten the look of aging dry, crepey, skin on the neck, chest, legs and arms. The nutrient rich, super-hydrating oils also provide all-day moisture and protects the skin. It's very easy to apply and after about a minute of circular massaging, it is absorbed without a greasy feel. Both products have no overpowering odor which I hate when a product overpowers my senses.
To date, I've used it for three days and although I haven't noticed any visible differences, I have found the products easy to use and the instructions straight forward. I'm looking forward to posting again after I've had time to use it accordingly. Having a new way to help my aging skin on the neck, chest, arms and legs look firmer and younger-looking is a definite win.
