RoboDog

RLJ Entertainment brings you Robo-Dog is available on Digital Video as well as on DVD for an SRP of $27.97 on Jan. 5, 2016.The movie is directed by Jason M. Murphy (The Unbroken) and stars Patrick Muldoon (Starship Troopers), Olivia d’Abo (“The Wonder Years”), Michael Campion (Finding Eden) and Wallace Shawn (Toy Story). 

He sits, plays fetch and he can move at super speed, bark at incredible volume and speak like a human being! He’s Robo-Dog, the most amazing mechanical mutt ever invented. 

When genius scientist Tom Austin sees that his son, Tyler, needs a new best friend, he locks himself in the garage, tinkering with spare parts, and creates the most incredible canine the world has ever seen! But Tom’s greedy ex-boss, Mr. Willis of Epic Industries, finds out that Robo-Dog is powered by a technologically advanced super battery, and he plots to steal it for himself. If the Austin family and Robo-Dog can’t stop him, Mr. Willis could accidentally blow up the whole town. It’s up to a hairy, hardwired little hero to save the day! 

My Opinion: This is a great family film that teaches kids about Science and parents wanting to make the world a better place for their kids but at what expense? I found this very entertaining and kept my interest as I like dogs and a happy ending.

Dove Dry Spray Cool Essentials

As a member of Influenster I get sent free products to try from time to time and this time I was sent Dove Dry Spray Cool Essentials. This is an antiperspirant spray that goes on instantly dry and delivers 48 hour odor and wetness protection with Dove’s unique ¼ moisturizers for softer, smoother underarms. Enjoy the delightful scent of cucumber and green tea. 

My Opinion: I was surprised by the results as I currently use a lotion type deodorant that goes on wet and protects well. I am a believer now of this one as it kept me dry and no body odor from sweating. I think I may switch to a dry spray for now on.

SteelMaster LockIt Desktop Inbox

If you work in an office and stuck at a desk all day you more than likely have an inbox for all the incoming work you need to do or use it for things you need to address.

Inbox provides storage and stacking of standard mail and deliveries. Made with durable steel construction with a scratch- and chip-resistant finish. Non-slip, non-mar feet will not scratch surfaces.

Bauli Pandoro and Panettone Cakes recipes by Celebrity Chef Luca Manfe

Celebrity Chef Luca Manfè, winner of Masterchef Season 4, is making it easier than ever to whip up festive desserts this holiday season! Using Bauli Pandoro and Panettone Cakes. Chef Luca can teach you to make Apple Pandoro Bread Pudding, Panettone Berry Trifle and so many more in under 10 minutes! That is quick and easy so you can enjoy more of the holiday festivities and less in the kitchen cooking.

Air Wick Holiday Collection

To celebrate the holiday season and the special role scent plays in making a house a home, Air Wick captured the unique scents of one family’s home, and delivered them to a loving father of 6, Kearen Feller, who is currently serving in the military in Qatar. Air Wick documented this special delivery in a heart-warming video, kicking off its Home is in the Air campaign. The video depicts the emotional power scent has, bringing, Kearen closer to home for the holidays, through a special scent collection that features the scent of a broken-in baseball glove that’s been in the family for generations; a cozy crackling fire the family enjoys during group sleepovers; and a fresh baked apple pie from a time-tested family recipe. The physical and emotional distance between The Feller Home and Kearen is relatable to anyone returning or separated from home this holiday season.  Kearen may not be by his family’s side, but says he can now smell these scents, close his eyes and feel the atmosphere of home.

I am so blessed to be able to try some of the scents and share them with you along with this the touching video above.  Let me tell you about them!

 I got the Life Scents Spiced Apple Crumble Candle which is layers of pastry crust, spiced apples and vanilla burning in multiple layers.  

I got scented oil warmer to share with guests to my home to Life Scents Snowflake Vanilla Cookie Scented Oil Just like hosting a holiday cookie party at home! Deliciously rich vanilla custard is complemented by festive spiced punch and chestnuts slowly roasting in the background. 

Life Scents Berry Cool Winter Scented Oil with this layered winter indulgence. Mounds of fluffy whipped cream are bursting with juicy wild berries and a kiss of fresh mint leaves on top!

My Opinion: I really like how one minute I smell the vanilla custard but the next spiced punch then the next roasted chestnuts these Life Scent candles are truly amazing with the different rotating scents. I am also going to be gifting some of these this year as I can share the scents with others.

Katie Black Medium Saffiano 88 Handbags

I recently found 88 Handbags is a vegan brand and no animal products are used.
The founder of 88 is a lifelong vegetarian and believes that the environment would benefit from the reduction of factory farming. Various vegan leathers are used in production. The scientific names are PU (polyurethane) and PVC (polyvinylchloride) PU is better for the environment and so although more expensive 88 only use PU in our bags. 88 develop all of our own custom hardware, again with a focus on the best way for the environment and not necessarily the cheapest way.

I was recently sent Katie Black Medium Saffiano Satchel; the Katie is an unequivocally chic example what you'll need to navigate the town come rain or shine. She provides a modern sensibility with a go-getters attitude and surprises all who encounter her simple elegance in sumptuous saffiano. Our signature 88 brand handbag is a perfectly sized and durable addition to your already stylish and sophisticated look. A slender optional strap lets you masterfully switch from a handheld to an over-the-shoulder carry, and with two interior zip and smartphone pockets, your ever-demanding life just became effortless. Katie is exceptional

My Opinion: I really like this handbag as it has multiple pockets inside and that is what I like I hate purses that has one spot to just drop everything and make a mess I like an organized purse so I can find things. The fact this one is priced affordably is a plus not to mention the materials used.

Waiting On Spring By John Rossini From FramedArt.com

I know the holidays are winding down but with a new approaching why not redecorate and reorganize a room in your house? I would like to reorganize my computer room but redecorate my living room and with that said I have bare walls that need color and art work to put on it. I recently discovered FramedArt.com which has so many different styles of art from Abstract, Decorative, Fine Art and more. I got a black framed Waiting on Spring by John Rossini this artwork features a stunning image of two Cardinals on a water pitcher contrasted against the country winter scene. I love cardinals as they are so pretty to listen to outside in the winter/spring months and they also mean something more to me which is a loved one coming to check on me. I have so many dear loved ones that have pasted on that I wish were here to see me now as they died when I was a child or in my twenties  that I miss dearly and know someday I will see again soon.

My Opinion: This piece of art work arrived perfectly wrapped and I was in awe with the picture and can’t wait to finally get this on the wall in the living room as soon the weather is colder and the holidays will be gone to allow more time to do those redecorating things I want to do in my house. The Framed Cardinal Print is beautiful and looks amazing.
