Hi, guys! We bought a new juicer, so in this video I’m sharing a Breville Juice Fountain Multi-Speed Juicer Unboxing.

If you’re interested, here’s a blog post where I wrote about our old Breville juicer.

And here are 3 Juicer Recipes that I’ve shared in the past:

  1. Carrot, Celery, and Apple Juice
  2. Green Juice
  3. Juicer Lemonade

You can get more information on this particular Breville BJE510XL Juice Fountain Multi-Speed Juicer on Amazon here.

If you juice, I’d love to hear about your favorite juice combinations or the type of juicer you own. πŸ˜€

Coloring Peppa Pig Eggs, the K’NEX Battle Bow, and a Little Tikes Lalaloopsy Playhouse

Coloring Peppa Pig Easter Eggs with Peppa Pig Toys and Peppa Pig Stickers is so much fun! This is a great craft to do with your kids or simply just a fun video to watch and share with them! #peppapig #easter #eggs #crafts

It’s been a while since I’ve shared our most recent toy videos here on my blog.

I didn’t take a break on purpose; it just sort of happened. But I planΒ on getting back to posting them here more regularly, especially with the holidays around the corner. I thought they could be a good source of fun gift ideas for kids. πŸ™‚

But before I get to the videos, here are a few YouTube-related things I’ve observed:

  1. Pinning your YouTube videos to Pinterest is a great idea, and don’t forget to add relevant hashtags to them. We’ve had lots of re-pins on our toy videos.
  2. YouTube recently rolled out a subscription service for people who want to view videos ad-free across all of their devices. It’s called YouTube Red, and besides being able to watch videos without ads, you also get access to Google Play Music included in your subscription as well as other nice benefits, like being able to save and watch videos offline. You can find out more about YouTube Red here. We’ve already signed up. πŸ™‚
  3. Following a few YouTube channels about how to grow your YouTube audience and create better videos can be a valuable way to spend your time as a video creator. We’ve been following a couple of channels that have shared tips and tricks that have helped our channels.

Now, here are our 3 latest Fun Playtime Reviews:
