Big Bucket Of Zombies Action Figures on Brain Cupcakes #Review #Halloween #‎BigBucketOfZombies‬ ‪#‎FTWD‬ ‪#‎TWD‬ ‪#‎Walkers‬ ‪#‎Zombies‬ ‪#‎Spon‬


With Halloween approaching, and my Favorite Zombie Shows like Fear The Walking Dead, and The Walking Dead on I can't get enough of the Walkers.  It made complete sense to me why I needed a Bucket of 100 Plastic Zombies, Men/Women Running From Zombies, Zombie Pets, and matching Zombies escaping from Grave stones all Night of the Living Dead in my collection too.


I am going to add a handful to my Halloween Candy bowl as well.  There are plenty to go around! I also am going to use them for on top of Brain Cupcakes.


For the brain cupcakes I just use a basic red velvet cake mix, whipped icing with a little bit of red food coloring and put the dark pink icing in the corner of a sandwich bag, twirl the bag til all the icing is just in one corner, then cut a small hole in that corner. Then do this Brain pattern on to of the cupcake. It makes it look like brains!


If you want to do a Zombie Cake without the unwanted effort, you could use this to make a Grave yard with Zombies, and still have a lot left over to put in Party Favor Bags. The possibilities of these Action Figures are almost endless.



What I really like about The Big Bucket of Zombies Action Figures is the detail of the characters, One is holding a brain.. another is stretching out plastic intestines..  some looked like they've been undead longer than others. The Zombie Dog that's ready to attack made me laugh.  It's those type of details in Plastic Action Figures (Think retro Plastic Army Men, but as Zombies!)  that make these different.

*Ceramic Graveyard Set Not Included. 

If Zombies aren't your cup of tea check out Big Bucket's other Action Figure sets: Animal Adventure Action Figures, Civil War Soldiers, Farm Animals, Firemen, Safari Animals; Sea Creatures and Dinosaur Skeleton figures. They are available for purchase for $19.99 by visiting: www.scsdirectinc.comwww.amazon.com, and at specialty retailers nationwide.

  • Instead of handing out big buckets of candy, Big Buckets of Monsters and Zombies are an unexpected alternative to offer trick-or-treaters.

  • Each Big Bucket comes with 100 assorted spooky action figures- including zombies, gravestones, humans, werewolves, and even Frankenstein! With over a dozen unique sculpts... down to the poses!

  • Each set of creepy creatures comes in two colors, so you can have awesome undead battles! Buckets of Zombies are also available in glow in the dark, for late night fights. Each bucket includes an assortment of durable, heavy plastic action figures, great for indoor or outdoor action-packed play and electronic-free fun!
  • Unlike the average figurine, these menacing monsters stand up on their own, and they definitely put the action in action figure.

Bake Crunchy Pecan-Banana Coffee Cake Muffins For The Fam! #Recipes #Spon #PostFood


The thing that I love most about this delicious recipe for Crunchy Pecan-Banana Coffee Cake Muffins. is that it can be baked, and then saved for the rest of the week as a quick Breakfast as you're going out the door. Between Work, Kids, and Everything in between, the convenience of meal prepping, and having the meals for the week just makes one less thing to worry about.  To me, it's also better than caving into a Breakfast that isn't full of Healthy Grains, and Nuts. Great Grains Crunchy Pecan cereal is perfect for this Crunchy Pecan-Banana Coffee Cake Muffins Recipe.

Tried Turmeric Tea Yet? #Health @NaturesBounty #Spon




I knew what Turmeric was (Mainly I used it for cooking.) I just didn't know that it came in a capsule form. The more I read up about Turmeric containing 93% Curcuminoids, plant-based antioxidants. Antioxidants help fight cell-damaging free radicals in the body.* Free radicals contribute to oxidative stress, which in turn may lead to the premature aging of cells. Turmeric is an herb with a long history of use in India. I really wanted to add it to my supplement intake. I already take a lot of supplements because I am one of those people that believe my Body needs more vitamins than what the Food I eat (servings) has, so when I saw the directions on the Bottle that I can make my own Turmeric Tea by opening the Capsules, I tried it. I thought it dissolved easily. and tasted good. I enjoy my Turmeric Tea early mornings, when the Kid's are sleeping in on the Weekends. I check my emails, do a little work, and Sip my Tea. I like monk fruit, and Almond Milk in my tea. I really think there is no wrong way to drink tea. I am actually enjoying the Taste of the Turmeric in the Tea. I am all for Vitamins that may help me reduce oxidative stress.* When I don't have time to make my tea (I use an electric kettle, and hand held mixer.) I just take the Nature's Bounty Veggy Based Capsule.

SoundLogic XT Bluetooth Indoor and Outdoor Party Speaker Review #Spon

I think the Sound Logic indoor & outdoor Bluetooth party speaker completely fits my beach, bbq, and park sound needs. I also think it looks very futuristic. If great sounds weren't coming out of it I'd think it was a power core for a time machine. The sound quality rivals my home system. I also like that it can get pretty loud if your into that sort of thing, which I am now and then. I enjoy that it comes with a strap so you can carry it hands free.. even dance with it on. It was very easy to get it working on all my devices. In fact it was easy for my friends to connect with their devices via blue tooth as well. We took turns playing our favorite songs. I like that there are ways to hard connect via Usb, and Aux, even SD Card at the end of the Speaker. I know sometimes not all devices are Blue tooth, so this Speaker gave me both worlds. Wired, and Unwired *BlueTooth* I like the sleek, modern design a lot.  I received product at discount for my review. All photos, and opinions are my own.

SoundLogic XT® Rechargeable Wireless Rave Bluetooth Speaker with LED Light Show Review #Spon


I am fascinated with the Sound Logic Rechargeable Wireless Rave Bluetooth Speaker. The first thing I noticed about the speaker was the cylinder shape, and that no batteries are needed, it charges while plugged in via usb, and keeps a charge that way no wires are needed, or batteries. To me, that is convenient. I charge mine with my mini solar powered charging station.  I am always trying to find cool gadgets like this Wireless Rave Speaker. The size fits perfectly in smaller spaces too, and I think it looks cool placed vertical, just as much horizontal. I also like that there are places to plug headphone Aux, and USBs into on the Side. I am a fan of electronics that give you choices.


Watch the Video I made of my Rave Speaker Jamming, It's so much Fun!

I connected my Rave Speaker to my Amazon Fire HD Tablet, and to my Amazon Fire Cell phone with no problems. As soon as I turned the Rave Bluetooth Speaker on it made a fun beeping sound, and the Rainbow lights Blinked, to tell me the device was turned on. I then went into Apps on my Devices, Turned on my Bluetooth, and Searched for the Device. I found it, and connected to it within seconds. The Rave speaker then Beeped again, and made an even cooler design. I then brought up my Chrome browser, and loaded Youtube. I love that I can play anything I am watching, even videos in my browser without Downloading any Apps. This is why SoundLogic has became one of my favorite Speaker Systems. I have a more expensive brand, and It only works when I have it hardwired or using an App with my Devices to stream Songs. The fact I have no problem networking it to my Bluetooth enabled devices makes this amazing in my book. The multi-color rainbow design lights up, and plays along with the Bass, and rhythm once its music is going. I think this is just a really fun speaker, even my toddler loved hearing his favorite songs on it like a little Rave Party. I received product at discount for my opinion.
