Think of an exotic blend of natural oils, and musk from Indonesia Morocco, Japan, Turkey, South Africa, Lebanon, France, and Australia. That is the Journey this scent takes you on.  Honestly I get into moods that I don't want to wear a light foo-foo scent.

My overall impression about Journey is, a little goes a long way.  It is a Musk, so a little is needed. It smells wonderful on my skin after a few squirts on the wrists, and neck.  I have been complimented on Journey while out Grocery shopping.

Notes: Indonesian Clove Bud, Australian Sandalwood, Moroccan Rose, French Bergamot, Indian Tuberose, Japanese Orange Flower, Lebanese Cedarwood, Turkish Cyclamen, South African Freesia

Love #Music, #AudioFest is happening now @BestBuy @BestBuyWOLF

March Audio Fest is taking place across all Best Buy stores from 3/2/14 – 4/4/14.

"One good thing about music, when it hits you, you feel no Pain, so hit me with music yeaaah, Brutalize me with Music." If you can tell me who sings that, you, my friend, are pretty awesome.

Music has always been a big part of my life.  Even while growing up, my parents both always had music playing in the car, in the house, and while outside for bbq's and swimming in the pool.  I seriously can't see life without music. 

Technology has came a long way since records, tapes, and cd's.  Sure you can still get electronics that can play that, while being Wifi, and Blue tooth compatible now.  That is what is so great about our generation.  It also depends on the Speakers you purchase too.  JBL has a new Indoor/Outdoor Speaker that can connect to any Wifi/Bluetooth compatible device (That means blu ray players, android devices, iphones, ipads. If you have any questions you can always ask Costumer Service at Best Buy.)

1,000 mg Vitamin C Raspberry @EmergenC #Review Smiley360

I received this product for free from Smiley360 in exchange for my honest review. You can join Smiley360 here!

Just wanted to show you all how easy it is to Open, and pour an Emergen-C serving into a bottle of water. It can be done one handed, and while holding a 3 year old. It's also delicious, and full of so many nutrients, antioxidants, and vitamins.

The flavor I'm currently digging is the 1,000 MG Vitamin C Raspberry Emergen-C.  It's also really good added to my juice in the morning, so I get kind've like a tropical fizz drink.

You can also request a free sample directly from Emergen-C on their website by going here,

The New @Dyson DC65 is now available at @BestBuy #DysonatBestBuy #Spon #Review

Disclaimer: 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.

(So easy to use, even the Hubby vacuums more often now.)

Before having kids (including furkids) I would just buy whatever was the cheapest vacuum.  It didn't matter to me back then.  Now, I need all the extra help keeping my house clean, and with little effort. Before the Dyson vacuuming felt like a chore to me,  I had to always go over the same spot to pick up things, and even lift my old vacuum cleaner up, and place it directly on top the mess.  I don't have to do that now.  The Dyson DC65 gracefully turns, and even those sweet potato fries, and half ate corn tortilla wraps have no chance.  It has made clean up time go a lot faster.

Before I received the Dyson, I would ask friends, and family who had one if it was worth it.  And they all would say yes, and list weird things they were guilty of vacuuming up.  Also the fact that they had their Dysons for years. Of course I was skeptic, like "OMG WHYYY you pay that much!!" Now I know why.  It's a commitment for a cleaner, more hypoallergenic home.  It really is amazing how much it picks up.  I don't cringe anymore when the 3 yr old spills Cheerios, and Popcorn all over the carpet either. More things it has sucked up: Fruit Snacks, all shapes/sizes.  Fruit Roll Ups, Coconut Flakes (Yes, my 3 year old made it rain coconut flakes all over the kitchen floor.) I didn't even sweep those up, I just used the hand tool.  

Overall Impression: Well worth the price, I truly believe you get what you pay for now.  I have enough to worry about and clean up.  Only thing I should be lifting up is my little one, not my vacuum to place directly over a spot.  I am hoping for a long relationship with my Dyson.
Unboxing was also pretty easy to put the Dyson together.  I love the long dusting brush, and extra tools.

The prices range from $499 through $649 depending if you want just the Multi-Floor function for the dyson, or the Animal Dusting Brush, and extra tools.

· $499 (for Multi-Floor)

· $599 (for Animal): comes w/ TFT and dusting brush

· $649 (for Animal Complete): comes with extra tools and Zorb (plus TFT and dusting brush)

Many competitors claim superior performance on carpet, but 75% of US homes have a combination of carpets and hard floors.

Solution: Cleans better than any other vacuum across carpets and hard floors.


Below are a few reasons why the Dyson DC65 cleans better than any other vacuum across carpets and hard floors.

· Brush bar power increased by 25% for superior carpet cleaning

· New configuration of bristles dig deeper into carpets to remove more dirt

· Remodeled airflows to help remove more dirt, dust, and allergens from the home.

· 180AW of suction (vs. 160AW in DC41)

· Comes in three colors based on variant: Platinum (MF), Purple (AN) and Fuchsia (ANC)

· Also, same great features as DC41:

o Self-adjusting baseplate

o Long-reach telescopic wand

o 2x suction of any other vacuum

o Closer edge pick-up

o Built to survive 10 years

o Hygienic bin emptying

How-To-Paint Letter Wall Art by GreenVics

This is just an idea on how to decorate Letters for a babies wall on a budget.  If it's for your little one, or to give as a gift. Here is how I painted mine. 

Go find whatever letters you need.  Sometimes they are on clearance.  Don't forget to check your Sunday papers for those 40% off craft store coupons that you can use on an item.  Ask people you know if you can have theirs too.  

Royal Talens AMSTERDAM Standard Series Acrylic 2.5 oz.

5/0 Princeton Round

Also, don't go crazy with buying every color of paint you see.  All you need are a nice set of Standard Series Paints.  Something with Red, Yellow, Blue, Black & White paint. With those colors, You can make so many different shades.  You'll also need good brushes, don't be afraid to buy single brushes, the smaller, the better.  Especially for those small detailed lines.

The brush to the right is one of my favorite brushes.  It's a 5/0 round Princeton Preferred.  Love your art brushes, and take care of them!! Always clean them off after use.  A good brush will last a long time.

Just stick to the basics.  What is great about these Acrylic tubes are you will have so much left over for other projects that come along.  The brushes are a great investment as well.  The white brushes with the gold ends are by Trenton.

Trenton All-purpose synthetic brushes 1/4" Angle, #0 Round, #5 round, #6 Shader

You don't have to be an artist to create something.  Just have fun with it.  GO for it.  Worse case scenario, if you don't like it? Start over.   But, don't be hard on yourself.  

Here's how I created mine.  Use a pencil to sketch what it is you want to draw (my favorite art pencils are by Faber-Castell.) Pencil first, with light lines in case you do want to erase something.   

After you've sketched out your design , it's time to paint.  You don't need to use a special paint palette.  Grab a dollar store plate.  

It's all about relaxing, and filling in the color.  Take your time,  This really does relax me.

After awhile it will start to come together.  For fun I made stripes on the sides of the letters that matched colors I had used for the characters.  

The very last thing I do is add the black outline.  To do this just use the small brush, ,and when you are applying paint to it, roll the brush into the black side to side.  Test it to see how thin your line will be.

Really hope this motivates you into painting something special, and one of a kind for your little ones.  I've seen Dr. Seuss art, but I wanted a Dr. Seuss themed  letter wall art.  Maybe your theme is flowers, fairies, monsters, or other well known characters that it would be cheaper to paint your own.

Now, go create something! Don't have that mentality you aren't good at it.  First think of an idea that you want to try, or atleast a few colors you really want to add.  Start from there.  All art is, are lines, dots, colors, that create the overall picture.  It isn't going to look like what you want at first.  Tweak it, and make it yours.
