Minions :: A Movie Review, Giveaway and Party Ideas
We had a chance to attend a prescreening of Universal Pictures and Illumination Entertainment’s Minions a few weekends ago and I have to say it is my daughter’s absolute favorite movie she has seen so far this summer. I do think Inside Out is a close second since we’ve seen it five times already but something about these funny little yellow guys had our whole family laughing throughout the movie. At the start of the movie we see that Minions began at the dawn of time where they started as single-celled yellow organisms and evolved through the ages, perpetually serving the most despicable of masters. Continuously unsuccessful at keeping these masters—from T.…

Create Lasting Memories with the GoPro HERO + LCD
The reviewer has been compensated in the form of a Best Buy Gift Card and/or received the product/service at a reduced price or for free. One of my absolute favorite gifts we have received was the GoPro HERO camera from my in-laws a few years back for the holidays. I am not kidding when I say it is one of the best gifts we have received as I love to capture our family’s adventures on film and video. We brought it down to the pool and we have some great videos of my daughter doing flips off the side of the pool (with bated breath from good ‘ol mom) and pretending she is a mermaid underwater. …

Disney Story Central is a Great Resource for Summer Reading
We are big fans of anything Disney! I just love how Walt Disney had a dream and vision and created one of the most amazing amusement parks and companies ever! At a conference in April I heard about the upcoming Walt Disney four-hour documentary that’s part of PBS’ American Experience series that will air September 14 and 15 and will talk about the man and his extraordinary vision. At this event, I heard how he “pitched” Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs to his illustrators over a two hour period by acting out each scene because he needed to have them on board to create this movie! I have enjoyed all of…

SEVEN Luxury Haircare Products :: A Review & Giveaway
Over the years I have had issues… with my hair! I think it is a combination of life changes and hormone issues (I really need to get my thyroid checked out again) that has changed my hair – and not for the better! That is, until my hairstylist, Michelle, owner of the very cool Al.Ka.Li Hair Salon in Costa Mesa, told me about SEVEN, a new haircare line she is in-love with. I figured I’d give it a shot since I didn’t have much to lose. I tried out a couple of the different shampoo’s they offer and found the best match for my hair to be their gluten-free shampoo and conditioner – which…
