August IS Audio Fest at Best Buy @BestBuy #AudioFest #MusicLover #Ad

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.

HEOS by Denon is a Wireless Multi-Room Sound System.  Recently I received the HEOS5 through Best Buy to Review. I thought the set up was easy, and I am using the HEOS5 in a Larger Bedroom.  The sound is great, and I have moved the speaker outside to listen to music while the kids play while streaming from my Droid.  Downloading the App was a simple task by going to Google's Play store.

I like the fact how convenient it is to move around, and how I can stream from my devices to it.  I also like the fact that it comes with all the cords needed to connect to a network too if you need to hard wire instead of Wireless. Both options to me are always a great buying point.

The design I thought was unique, and sleek. I can't get over how great the sound quality is. Do I want a Denon HEOS Speaker for each room now? You bet your Tech Savvy britches I do! Want to know more about Denon HEOS Specs, click here.

How I love my Wacom INTUOS Tablet, let me count thee ways.

1. It's pretty b@dass.
2. The detail I can draw while zoomed in 200%+ is unbelievable. 

3. Affordable!

4. The Pressure Point on the Creative Pen, and while adjusting Tool Thickness/Shade is fun to play with!
5. Even if you are like me, and drawing is just a hobby.. this tablet is Easy to use!

I received the most awesome Birthday present ever this month.  It's something I've been wanting forever.  I received a lot of great things, I felt very spoiled, from my Wacom Intuos Tablet, Starbucks Giftcards, and an abundance of my favorite Green Teas.  The way to my heart is through Art, Coffee, and Tea. I am also doing another Harvey Prince post for Hello soon too! So, yay, Hope you read my posts!

So this is my newest precious.  The moment I set it up (as simple as plugging in a usb, and popping in a disc.) I was doodling.  I find myself drawing things here, and there in the Autodesk Sketchbook Express Program just because.. I want to see if I can remember how to draw things I did over 20 years ago.

This is Leo, from TMNT that I drew from memory for my little brother.  I don't know why, but it calms me to be able to shut my eyes, and remember lines, and certain strokes to create an image. 

Little Weirdo Eye Sketch using the Pen Tablet.  

Here is one of the very first things I drew with the Tablet.  I had been watching Puppet Master all Week (Dollar General had whole box set series of Full Moon DVDs on sale for $4.95, so I dorked out to some old School Horror.)

When the Kids saw what I was doing, the requests started pouring in for Pirate Skulls, and Horses.

I really hope this helps my blog become more personal, and fun for myself to do.

I forgot how much I loved to draw.  The last thing I drew, and put any effort in were DIY Dr. Seuss Themed Letters for my son's bedroom wall.. that was a while ago. I'm going to practice, and become a paint, smudge, pencil, blur, penciling machine. I'm hooked, and already want to learn more.

My love of a certain plant.

I just wanted to do a quick update on how great my cherry tomato plants are doing! They remind me that moving from the Midwest back to Virginia was worth the headache.  I've already ate 3 off the plant, ahaha. Growing up I would walk around eating tomatoes like apples.  Then I discovered cherry ones, and they are my absolute favorites.  Don't get me wrong I love a juicy big boy too.

Are you growing anything? This year all I planted was diff tomatoes, and peppers.  My dream is to have a bigger garden.  I want my whole front/side yard to be an edible garden while the backyard will be for the kiddos.

Tomatoes are extremely easy to grow, they shoot up like weeds.  They just need sunlight, and plenty of water.

Harvey Prince #Review & Three WINNER #Giveaway #Whifflove

Disclaimer, this is a sponsored Review/Giveaway, Prize is mailed directly from the sponsor, Giveaway begins 6.18.14, ends 7.2.14, THREE WINNERS chosen at random via rafflecopter. Giveaway open to U.S. & Canada Residents Only.   

Now since the boring Disclaimer stuffs is out of the way, YAY! Time for the fun part.  The review.. Sorry.. this isn't what I typically wear, but you know what? I enjoy how the scent of Harvey Prince Eau Fling literally changes.  When I first spray it on it smells a bit dark (musky.) but just a few minutes later it is sweet. What is this trickery?  I do like the fact that it is something different.  My husband has been giving me compliments about it all week that I smell sexy.  After being sick, and on nasal steroids before, this was exactly what I needed to hear! The natural aromas do play with the senses. I can really smell, and feel why these combinations are considered a "love potion." I am also a pretty huge fan of companies that throw in samples too.  I was impressed with how even the sample sprays had little nozzles, and one was a roll on! I just want to roll around in the grass with Harvey Prince (The Perfumes, duh.) while hugging them, because I love smellies.  I may look a little weird doing so, but I don't care. Atleast I'll smell pretty.

I am excited to tell y'all that there will be THREE Winners for the same Eau Fling 50ml Perfume.

Here's more about Eau Fling:

Let us do the flirting for you. Prepare to turn heads. The sensual and spicy scent of Eau Fling combines jasmine, lavender and pumpkin pie notes, which have been shown to attract and excite men. The press is calling Harvey Prince’s Eau Fling the modern day "love potion.” Coquettish top notes of lavender, blackcurrant and plum contrast with a heart of night-blooming jasmine and the spicy warmth of nutmeg and cinnamon—a combination often associated with rituals of pleasure. A sensual back of rare woods and musk lingers on the skin.

Eau Fling is inspired by a study conducted at The Smell and Taste Treatment & Research Foundation in Chicago, led by two physicians with over 50 years of medical experience between them. The study tested the effects of 30 different single scents and combined ingredient scents on male sexual arousal. Lavender, jasmine and pumpkin pie proved to evoke the most passionate response.

Notes: Lavender, Blackcurrant, Plum, Raspberry, Apple, Jasmine, Nutmeg, Cinnamon, Musk, Rare Woods

Style: Stimulating. Sensual. Spicy.

It’s cool to be casual with Eau Fling.

About The Lego Movie 

The LEGO® Movie, the first-ever, full-length theatrical LEGO® adventure, directed by Phil Lord & Christopher Miller is an original 3D computer animated story that follows Emmet, an ordinary, rules-following, perfectly average LEGO minifigure who is mistakenly identified as the most extraordinary person and the key to saving the world. He is drafted into a fellowship of strangers on an epic quest to stop an evil tyrant, a journey for which Emmet is hopelessly and hilariously underprepared.

Chris Pratt (Moneyball) stars as the voice of Emmet. Will Ferrell (The Campaign) stars as the voice of his primary adversary, President Business, an erudite, anal-retentive CEO who has a hard time balancing world domination with micro-managing his own life; while Liam Neeson (Taken) voices the president's powerful henchman, known as Bad Cop, who will stop at nothing to catch Emmet.

Starring as Emmet's fellow travelers are Oscar® winner Morgan Freeman (Million Dollar Baby), as Vitruvius, an old mystic; Elizabeth Banks (The Hunger Games, Emmy nominee for 30 Rock), as tough-as-nails Lucy, who mistakes Emmet for the savior of the world and guides him on his quest; Will Arnett (Emmy nominee, 30 Rock), as the mysterious Batman, a LEGO minifigure with whom Lucy shares a history; Nick Offerman (NBC's Parks and Recreation) as a craggy, swaggering pirate, obsessed with revenge on President Business; and Alison Brie (Community) as a sweet, loveable member of the team, with a powerful secret.
