My Review


PraiseMoves sent all these and some extra bonus e-books to thoroughly look at what this program it like. I really enjoyed taking my daily walks with the audio that I down loaded to my iPod. I love the music and the scriptures, it really helped to encourage me. I loved all the little extras that are included with this program. It was great getting daily inspirational e-mails and watching the daily videos. It was wonderful to see the videos of Laurette Willis herself giving you scriptures and support. You kind of feel like she right there helping you all along the way. The Power of Promises e-booklet and The Workbook has really encouraged and helped me to keep track of my goals. I have no doubt that in the long run, this will help anyone and everyone to loose the weight. I give The Power of Promise Workout Program 5 stars out 5. Check out my review I did on The PraiseMoves Workout DVD that I did last year.

BluApple Giveaway Winners


Congratulations to the three winners of the BluApple Giveaway. And the winners are: Entry #89 Ann Parker, Entry #23 Jessica Layne and Entry #261 Sam Buck, you have won a two pack of the BluApple.


Ethylene gas is given off by all living plants -- and especially by fruits, vegetables and flowers -- and is a chemical signal to quickly speed up ripening. The release of this gas is thought to be a mechanism used by plants to promote the uniformity of fruit ripening or flowers opening, etc. The uniformity of these events attracts the maximum number of pollinators or seed disseminators (such as birds) when all the fruit is ripe or all the flowers are open in nature.


The Bluapple is based on technology that has been used in ships, warehouses and trucks for many years to absorb and neutralize the ethylene gas buildup. the Bluapple does not release any gas or chemical at all, but only acts as an ethylene gas super-flypaper, constantly removing this harmful gas from your produce storage area. The Bluapple is not a "magic" pill, but a scientific, essential part of keeping produce fresh.


When produce was cheap, no one cared, but as prices have risen, it became apparent that a very beneficial product for the home could make a huge difference.
There are three key elements to long produce life: a) temperature - keeping produce cold; b) humidity - using vented plastic bags to keep a moist, but not wet environment, and; c) ethylene gas management - using the Bluapple. Difficulty with any one of these elements will cause big problems with premature spoilage.


Bluapple is available nationally at retail locations such as Whole Foods Markets, Giant Foods, Stop & Shop, and many others.


Thank-you to everyone who entered this giveaway, it was allot of fun. There is more giveaways to come.

A Cinderella Story: Once Upon a Song DVD Giveaway Winner


Congratulations to the winner of the A Cinderella Story: Once Upon A Song DVD Giveaway. And the winner is, entry number 47 Cassie Moreno, you have won a copy of the movie. I used rafflecopter to determine the winner.


Lucy Hale and Freddie Stroma team up in the direct-to-video romantic comedy A Cinderella Story: Once Upon A Song. In the thematic sequel to A Cinderella Story (2004) and Another Cinderella Story (2008), 17-year-old Katie is the modern day Cinderella. Vocally gifted, she dreams of becoming a recording artist, but is constantly thwarted by her wicked stepmother. Afraid of being put back in foster care, she does her stepmother and step-sibilings’ bidding until she falls hard for the new boy Luke Morgan at her Performing Arts school. When her stepsister Beverly van Ravensway takes credit for her singing to lure Luke into her arms and to steal a recording contract from Massive Records, Katie must learn to stand up against her step-family and fight for her dreams.

Top 5 Celebrity Moms

Celebrity moms are cool because, they do everything we do while being celebrities. Here’s our top 5!


While not all of us can be celebrities, we can certainly get inspired by celebrities for things as varied as hairstyles, fashion, diet and even baby clothes. Yes, celebrities have babies too, and they need clothes! So to celebrate mommies all over the world, we've put up a list of our five favorite celebrity moms.


 



5. Angelina Jolie


Busy actor Angelina Jolie has six children—yes, six. Three of them are her own (Knox, Shiloh and Vivienne) and three of them are adopted (Pax, Zahara and Maddox). Angelina Jolie gives millions of dollars to charities every year, including children's charities. She is a compassionate, generous mother who gives not only to her family but to the world as well. (And she has crazy style, too!)


 


 4. Heidi Klum


Top model and mom Heidi Klum is raising four children (Leni, Henri, Lohan and Lou) while looking awesome. She did a fashion show a mere six weeks after giving birth. Who else can boast of that? She’s been with her husband Seal for years and their marriage is still going strong. And she even poses with her children without makeup. Seriously. Most of us wouldn't even dare walk out without mascara… Kudos to you Heidi!


 


3. Victoria Beckham


The very British Victoria Beckham is on our list because despite having to raise four children, she still has time to dress oh so well and attend the royal wedding with her husband, football player superstar David Beckham. Posh Spice never disappoints, and she wouldn't leave her children to be raised by nannies and bodyguards either. And hopefully they grow up to be as hot, talented and stylish as their parents! Wouldn't we want to have her life…


 



2. Tina Fey


Comic and TV star Tina Fey gets a lot of inspiration from her 6-year-old daughter Alice… and we hope she gets more as she recently gave birth to a second daughter, Penelope Athena. Beautiful and smart, we hope that her daughters grow up to be like their mom, because we’d love our own children to go through their 20s and 30s watching something as funny as 30 Rock. Teach them to laugh at themselves and they will always be happy, Tina!



1.     Michelle Obama


The US First Lady is the perfect picture of a celebrity mom who keeps her feet on the ground. Despite being the wife of the most powerful man on the planet, she does not let that affect the way she raises her kids. No free passes for Malia and Sasha! They do their chores and their homework like all other kids. The couple is very strong and hopefully the girls will learn something useful from their 4-year stay in the White house.


Celebrity moms may not have to buy Bonds online, but their sense of style and their personality still shine through their children. Celebrity doesn't mean trashy for our Top 5 celebrity moms!

The Grace Card DVD Giveaway Winner


Congratulations to the winner of The Grace Card DVD Giveaway. The the winner is Claudia N, you have won a copy of  "The Grace Card". I used the "And the Winner Is..." wordpress plugin to determine the winner. Thank-you everyone for entering this giveaway.


Everything can change in an instant … and take a lifetime to unravel. When Mac McDonald loses his son in an accident, the ensuing 17 years of bitterness and pain erodes his love for his family and leaves him angry with God … and just about everyone else. Mac's rage stonewalls his career in the police department and makes for a combustible situation when he’s partnered with Sam Wright, a rising star on the force—who happens to be a part-time pastor and a loving family man.


Can they somehow join forces to help one another when it’s impossible for either of them to look past their differences—especially the most obvious one? Every day, we have the opportunity to rebuild relationships and heal deep wounds by extending and receiving God’s grace. Offer THE GRACE CARD … and never underestimate the power of God’s love.

Beneficial Stuff You Could Make From Reused Plastic Bottles

Plastic bottles can be reused in numerous useful and artistic methods to help preserve mother earth. You could turn empty plastic bottles into cases for workplace and study desk materials, build an ornamental flower vase, use empty bottles to produce goblets for the children, create a votive candle holder, build a pot for your garden, and develop a water jar for your family pet.


When you reuse plastic bottles, you will not only help preserve the planet, but you will also delight in using the finish item. Children and adults as well will surely love converting used plastic bottles into anything truly functional and creative. Here are several valuable things you can make from reused plastic bottles:


Change empty plastic bottles into holders for workplace and study table supplies


The very first work you may make is exciting and great for adults and also kids as well. By cutting off the top section of plastic bottles by using scissors, you have already developed pen holders, as well as holders for paper clips and various office and school supplies. Bigger plastic containers can also make great floppy disk holders. Just make sure you choose the desired height to include your objects.


Develop an ornamental flower vase


With an empty plastic bottle and some imagination, you can even make an ornamental flower vase. You are going to need a couple of sharp scissors, adhesive, a sheet of paper, and various coloring materials. First, slice the top of the container using your scissors. On your piece of paper, draw and color or paint whatever style you want your flower vase to have. Be sure that the size of the paper fits the size of the vase you’ve cut. Then you can connect your piece of paper around the flower vase for a fantastic design. On the other hand, you could provide your vase an innovative look by painting right onto the surface of the plastic bottle. Add some flowers, and voila, you now have something fresh and new to decorate your room or to offer your mother even without any event.


Utilize empty bottles to make goblets for kids


An additional enjoyable and authentic project youngsters will love is building goblets from reused plastic containers. You may use these goblets as candy holders or marble holders. Be sure you clean and dry your empty plastic bottle properly before making your goblet. To start, take off the cap, and also the label from the used bottle. Then, create the bottom part of your goblet by cutting off the bottom of the container using a sharp pair of scissors. Slice the excess from the bottom level to create a clean base. Turn the other part of the bottle upside down so that the mouth of the plastic bottle will now function as the neck of your goblet and the other end as the mouth. Keep the mouth of your goblet neat and stylish by trimming it carefully. Once completed, you can attach the neck of your cup to its bottom by using a strong glue. Let it dry completely and then put your sweets on it.


Build a votive candle case


You can even turn your empty plastic bottle into a votive candle dish good for your restroom or powder room. In addition to a plastic bottle, you will need a votive candlestick, some sand or smooth stones, and craft supplies. Using your scissors, cut the top of your plastic container and throw out or recycle it one by one. If you are planning to produce several candle cases, you could change the measurements and levels to develop a more classy display. Then, fill your holder with sand or smooth stones. Get those votive candle and nestle it snugly in the sand or stones. Lastly, use your craft supplies to complete your votive candle holder. You might color it or glue ribbons, lace, as well as other ornamental items to it, but ensure not to overdo it.


Build a pot for your garden


Large plastic containers can also be reused as pots for your back garden. In the same manner you’d for creating a container or candle case, just cut the top off your plastic bottle utilizing sharp scissors and fill the bottom part of the bottle with soil. It’s very simple yet extremely useful and great for the environment. If you like including a little spice to your recycling project, paint or decorate your pot utilizing backyard garden styles.


Create a water container for your dog or cat


Finally, you can even recycle empty plastic containers as water storage containers for your domestic pets. Take away the label of your plastic bottle and rinse the bottle thoroughly. Once again, all that you should do is cut-off the top section of your plastic container, carefully trim the edges so they are smooth, and your dog or cat gets a brand new water bottle.


Using these recycling concepts, you don’t need to be worried about disposing of the growing number of utilized plastic containers you’ve. You can even come up with your own plastic bottle recycling ideas depending on your home needs and your creativity.
