Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides in theatres May 20

I am definitely a fan of the Pirates of the Caribbean movies. I was excited to hear about the next one coming out May 20th, Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides.

This time Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) finds himself on an unexpected journey to the Fountain of Youth. A woman from his past (Penelope Cruz) forces him on the the Pirate Blackbeard’s (Ian McShane) boat the Queen Anne’s Revenge.

Even if you’ve never seen a Pirates of the Caribbean movie before you can start watching and still get into the action. Johnny Depp is wonderful as Captain Jack Sparrow. As someone who has seen all the movies so far, I love to see his character in each movie.

Pirates of the Caribbean is categorized as a Comedy-Adventure. Which I think is accurate given the other movies. This movie will have a rating of PG-13. Official release date is May 20, 2011. From Director Rob Marshall and producer Jerry Bruckheimer. You can watch the Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides trailer below.

LEGO® KIDSFEST is coming to Pittsburgh in June more sites scheduled too

My boys get LEGO® Club Magazine. They received a postcard in the mail about LEGO® KIDSFEST coming to Pittburgh in June. I ready myself for the “Mommy can we go PLLLEEAASSEE!” Predictably I hear those very words. My boys are big LEGO fans. In fact at Christmas my 7 year old’s list was basically a LEGO wishlist.

My thought was, “What is there to do at LEGO® KIDSFEST?” As I found out, the answer is, plenty.

–Explore the LEGO Model Gallery where there will be 40 life size models made up completely of LEGO bricks.

–LEGO master builders (yea the guys who get paid to play with LEGOs) will be sharing tips, tricks, and giving live demonstrations

–Help build a piece of a giant mystery mural to help reveal the image

–build your own LEGO car and race it down a ramp. Race against friends and family

–Play LEGO board games in the LEGO games arena

–Build whatever you like in the LEGO Construction Zone

–Don’t worry the littlest LEGO fans aren’t left out (thank goodness for my soon to be 2 yr old) there’s a “LEGO DUPLO Jams” area for toddlers to explore and build all while listening to fun playroom tunes.

LEGO® KIDSFEST will cover over 175,000 sq feet of fun. LEGO® KIDSFEST usually sells out so it’s best to get your tickets soon. Adult tickets are $20 and kids are $18. Kids under 2 years old are free.

Spongeables Body Wash in a Sponge review and giveaway 5/22–CLOSED

RANDOM.ORG DREW NUMBERS 81 ANNIE1 AND 28 HUMANECATS AS THE WINNERS. WINNERS HAVE BEEN EMAILED AND HAVE 48 HRS TO RESPOND TO WINNING EMAIL NOTIFICATION. THANKS FOR ENTERING!

Spongeable Body Wash in a Sponge is a convenient product that will most certainly be a great product for upcoming vacations and camping trips.

There is a 3.5 oz version good for 20+ uses and a travel size version good for 5+ uses. Each Spongeables has a spongy side for cleaning while the other side works like a loofah to exfoliate your skin. The body wash is already in the sponge. Just wet and squeeze then wash your body with the all in one product.

I received the Spongeable Body Wash in a Sponge in Lavender Nectar scent. The scent was mild and not over-powering. I’ve already used mine for 8 showers and it’s still going strong. The only less than positive things I would have to say is that I found the exfoliating side a bit too abrasive for my sensitive skin. The sponge and cleanser work great however. I also received the travel size which will be very convenient for our upcoming summer vacation. Small and portable. The 3.5 oz version is a generous size sponge making it easy to handle and wash the larger parts of your body.

A good point brought up on their website. These are great for airport security. No bottle, no liquids. Stick a travel Spongeable in your grooming case and your good to go.

Spongeables offers many different shapes, scents, and even gift packages. There are cute designs for kids, romantic sets, Spongeables for holidays, and lots more. There are even ones specific for your hands. Check out all Spongeables has to offer on their website: http://www.spongeables.com/web/shop/index.php

Make your feet happy with Happy Feet massaging insoles review and giveaway–CLOSED

RANDOM.ORG DREW NUMBER 137 KIMBERLY. WINNER HAS BEEN EMAILED AND HAS 48 HRS TO REPLY TO WINNING EMAIL NOTIFICATION. THANKS FOR ENTERING.

I’ll be honest, I’ve never tried any type of massaging insoles in my life. In fact, I’ve never used any insoles other than what was already in the shoes I bought. I have very sensitive feet.

Funny story: When I got my first pedicure (and only 1 of 2 pedicures in my life) I could barely stand for the nail technician to touch my feet. When he starting using the pumice stone on the sides of my feet I almost kicked him in the head. Not on purpose, but a reaction. The technician looked at me and said “careful”.

So what’s the point of my story. My feet are so sensitive I didn’t think I could stand a massaging insole. I had the opportunity to try Happy Feet Massaging insoles. Happy Feet Massaging Insoles are 100% glycerin filled. They have a 1yr unconditional warranty.

When I first pulled them out of the packet they looked like a normal flat insole. I thought “how are these massaging insoles?” I put them into my shoes. The insoles can be trimmed to fit several sizes. I found them easy to trim to the right size for me. I put my feet in and tied my shoes. I walked around my house at first. Then I noticed the sort of rolling under my feet. It wasn’t ticklish or annoying like I was worried it might be with my super sensitive feet. This actually felt….good. But the real test would be to wear them to work.

I work in a hospital as an Occupational Therapy Assistant. I’m all my feet all day doing manual labor. Walking with patients, helping to transfer patients, etc. I found my self rocking back and forth on my feet just to increase the really cool feeling of the rolling massage feeling when I was standing still. It’s not necessary to do that. It does it automatically when you walk.

Happy Feet’s website states that the insoles can help with a variety of health issues such as: increasing circulation, relieves corns and caluses, heel pain and spurs, back and knee pain, and a number of other health issues that may cause discomfort.

You can also follow Happy Feet on twitter and facebook.
Also a great point to mention is that Happy Feet Insoles are manufactured right here in the US.
