Pocket Hose vs Traditional Hose - #review

The Pocket Hose Ultra is one of the most popular “As Seen on TV” products out there. Almost everyone has a garden hose in their yard, whether it’s to run the sprinkler system, fill the pool, water the garden, or cool off the kids and grandkids on a hot summer’s day. Unfortunately, many of the hoses designed in the past were constructed from heavy materials that weaken over time, and they certainly aren’t affordable either.

My review:

An uplifting read for young girls, probably more so for tweens than teens. It teaches valuable life lessons for the young mind, all the while placing the responsibility on the reader herself. Personally, I think it might work better on the pre-teens, as they tend not to be as obsessed about outer appearances yet, and this could be a important tool in teaching them about inner beauty from an early age. Don’t miss this opportunity to help shape their values from an early start!
