Worlds Together Cuba Newest Title in Celebrated DVD Series out Sep 9th Review

Sunday, August 31, 2014

I was finally able to watch this video on Cuba and to me it's very interesting to see how others live and what their cultures are this video even caught the attention of my son. And this video is perfect cause it's just in time for National Hispanic Heritage Month. I love how everyone can just sit around and get along and play games and play musical instruments. It's not like that here they have a very nice culture that they should be proud of.

Cincinnati, OH (August 6, 2014) – The Republic of Cuba is comprised of many islands in the Caribbean spanning hundreds of miles, but in less than 30 minutes you can take it all in thanks to Worlds Together Cuba, the newest title in the DVD series from Master Communications, landing on DVD September 9, 2014, just in time for National Hispanic Heritage Month (Sept. 15-Oct. 15, 2014).

Worlds Together Cuba takes you on a whirlwind tour of the intriguing nation known as the Pearl of the Antilles. The country includes the main island of Cuba, the Isla de le Juventud, several archipelagos and over 4000 smaller islands and islets. Its economy is comprised mostly of agriculture, with an abundance of sugar plantations, tobacco farms, maize fields, mangoes, pineapples, coffee and rice. Cuba has many wonderful theatres, museums and churches throughout its beautiful cities, including the capital city of Havana, one of the oldest in the Americas. The country provides free education for its citizens from kindergarten through University and free day care for children seven and under. You’ll learn all this and so much more … and you won’t even need your passport!

Also available Sept. 9 in the Worlds Together series are Ecuador, which provides an overview of one of South America’s most diverse countries, and Colombia, which takes you throughout the beautiful and fascinating country, from the colonial jewel of Cartegena to the backstreets of Bogota and through the sprawling Amazonas region. Viewers can choose either a Spanish or an English track for these three new releases..

The Worlds Together series originated out of the travels of photographer/songwriter Elmer Hawkes. The series visits some of the most remote places on Earth, examining topics ranging from history and culture to sports and cuisine and giving viewers an up close and personal introduction to cultures quite different from their own. Each title introduces facts about the various climates, languages, religions, wildlife, architecture, agriculture, ethnicities and more. Other titles in this series include West Africa, East Africa, Ethiopia and Tibet.

Each 25-minute World Together DVD title includes a teacher’s guide with more detailed information about the country, quizzes and more. For more information and to purchase these and other Master Communication titles, call 1-800-765-5885 or visit www.master-comm.com.

I love this app Learn to Read and Write Kids Puzzles because it has a ton of different puzzles in one or short games if you want to look at it like that.

Origami Owl Locket Review/Giveaway Summer Theme

Saturday, August 30, 2014

Ok now I know I have mentioned before How the company Origami Owl is really nice and you can use the charms to express yourself. Well I was lucky enough to review and I am giving away one so be on the look out for this at the bottom of the post. I have a summer theme locket with 5 charms that are so beautiful it comes with a kite, sunglasses, beach ball, sun, and flip flops. It is adorable. And the colors of the charms are so bright and colorful. I was also able to review a locket that I gave as a gift to my mother in law for her birthday. I was able to pick out all the charms of her children and a I love you charm and a heart that said family on it. She loved everything and I was so happy she loved it. Anyone interested in hearing about anything Origami Owl!!! Click the link above!!!

Our Story:

I started Origami Owl with $350 and a simple dream in mind—getting a car on my 16th birthday. When I was 14, I asked my parents for a car but they said I needed to work for it. So, with all of my babysitting money and my family’s support, I set out to start my own business and created Origami Owl.

Immediately, people loved creating stories with jewelry and women began asking how they could share Origami Owl with their own family and friends. We were a hit! After hearing stories about how our jewelry touched lives, it only made sense to spread some love across the country. Today, we have more than 60,000 Independent Designers who pursue their own dreams by selling our jewelry at home parties we like to call Jewelry Bars.

OUR MISSION IS TO BE A FORCE FOR GOOD; TO LOVE, INSPIRE

+ MOTIVATE PEOPLE OF ALL AGES TO REACH THEIR DREAMS +

EMPOWER THEM TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN THE LIVES OF OTHERS.

But there is something else I want you to know, we’ve always been so much more than just a jewelry company. From the beginning I wanted my company to be different, I wanted it to be a force for good; to help others achieve their dreams like I achieved mine (yes, I finally got my car; a white Jeep I named Alice). It didn’t happen overnight, but with lots of hard work, Origami Owl grew from my after school job to a multimillion dollar company.

It’s been such an incredible journey and I believe our continued success has come from our intention to make a difference in people’s lives, we never put profits before people.

Our story is only just beginning to unfold and I hope it can be a part of your story too. Take a look around to build your own meaningful Living Locket®, or to find out how you can join our family!

I love working with this company and to tell you about their scales makes me happy. I have reviewed their scales in the past and have nothing but good things to say about them. I love the battery life on them and the excellent reading they give on the scale I can always trust it. Today I will be telling you about the 2 Ozeri WeightMaster 400 lbs Digital Bath Scale this scale is like no other it actually measures your BMI "Body Mass Index" which tells you what your body fat is based on your height and weight. I really like this because I am a skinny girl but I still want my BMI to be on point. What I like to is the scale is color coordinated and that if you gain weight it will show in red and if you lost weight it will show in green. The thing is gaining weight doesn't always have to be a bad thing if your skinny like me. So if I see red I get a little excited!!!

The Ozeri WeightMaster 400 lbs Digital Bath Scale with BMI and Weight Differential Detection was designed and engineered in the USA to provide a comprehensive yet simple weight management solution to measure and track your weight. Featuring BMI Measurement and Auto Recognition Technology, the Ozeri WeightMaster weighs up to 400 lbs and displays your BMI (Body Mass Index), a measure of your body fat based on your height and weight. Immediately after displaying your weight and BMI, the scale's Weight Differential Detection displays your "net weight change" from your last weigh-in (L1), the average of your last 3 weigh-ins (L3), and last 7 weigh-ins (L7). By measuring your weight once a day, the Ozeri WeightMaster empowers you to see how your current weight changes day to day, from the last 3 days, and over the previous week. For users who would rather just focus on their weight trend without worrying so much about the actual numbers, the WeightMaster features Color Alert Technology, which displays your weight change in a GREEN illumination for weight loss and RED for weight gain, providing a visual form of intuitive feedback. With built-in intelligence, the WeightMaster requires no complicated synching and spares you the data connection failures common to more expensive wireless and Bluetooth alternatives. Precision engineered and durably made, WeightMaster auto-calibrates with StepOn technology and auto-powers off to preserve battery life. The Ozeri WeightMaster is made out of impact-resistant tempered glass, and equipped with non-slip scratch-resistant feet that won't damage flooring. Ships with batteries included, and backed by Ozeri's 100% Hassle-Free Satisfaction Guarantee.

Santé Nuts Review

I was able to review the Santé Nuts and I am so glad I did the 3 kind I picked were the Sweet and Spicy Pecans, Candied Walnuts, and Garlic Almonds. These are really good to snack on and keep with you if you wanted to snack on something quick these are great. My favorite though are the garlic almonds I am a huge fan of garlic so it wasn't a surprise that I would for sure love these.

Santé Nuts makes 9 different flavors of spiced and candied pecans, almonds, walnuts, cashews and pistachios. What makes us unique is a special roasting method that allows for less absorption of oil into the nut, so you get a healthy product with an addictive balance of sweet, savory, spice, and crispy crunch. The nuts come in re-sealable pouches for cooking and baking, and 200-calorie single-serve packs for on-the-go snacking and gifting. All of the nuts are gluten-free, peanut-free, vegan, non-GMO and perfectly sized for the gym bag, office desk or purse. Our flavors range from spicy chipotle almonds, to warming cardamom cashews, to sweet candied pistachios, so there’s a flavor for every palate.

We are offering product to be sampled for a regular review, or for a very fun National S'mores Day campaign! National S'mores Day is Sunday, August 10th and we are inviting bloggers to create their own nutty s'more cones, inspired by our recipe from George Duran (recipe and video: https://santenuts.com/blog/ah-summertime). Please use the hashtag #smoresday and @SanteNuts when posting on social media.

Wednesday, August 27, 2014

Have you ever visited Bonefish Grill before they have some amazing food my all time favorite is the bang bang shrimp. But they have came out with a new menu with a lot of great new items to try. So I was really anxious and thrilled to try there new menu. Me and my husband were really excited to come in and try some of the wonderful items they have.

All their food was really good. They give you wide variety of food to choose from.

My husband was really excited to try them out to and was looking over the menu to decide what he wanted to try!!!

My husband ended up having the Ahi Tuna Steak with Herbed Couscous, and I got the Spring Basil Fettuccine that was really good also.

They also have really great bread they make before hand that ties you over till you get your main dish.

Excuse the goofy smile I was just really excited when I got the food. I was also really hungry!!

As you can see you get a great amount I even had enough left over for lunch time. If you are really into pasta and veggies like me you would of loved this dish.

This is my husbands dish he actually didn't care to much for the tuna and when it came out it was a little cold. But he did like the Couscous. I am really excited we were able to try bonefish grills new menu and put some of their new menu items up for a try.
