For one reason or another, it’s been hard to find just the right one. Some worked well in one way and not in another. I have tried the best salon shampoos and the drug store stuff but none have met my needs. I recently had the chance to check out ColorProof Color Care Authority hair care. A vegan hair care line and I could not wait to see if these vegan products were just what my hair needed. Are you familiar with ColorProof Hair Care?

Looking for a great gift for mom? How about a good night’s sleep with The Floating Comfort Pillow! #Giveaway

All moms out there know that a good night’s sleep is sometimes hard to come by especially moms with little ones! Being a working mom, a full nights rest is very important to me, I cannot get through my long days at work, then my evenings as mom without it. A friend mentioned this condition as being a “Mombie”.. Ha ha get it, I can see it, moms so tired they can struggle and have zombie like symptoms. This exhausted segment of the female population can usually be identified by dark circles under her eyes, a staggering walk, and a cup of coffee in her hand. 

Women turn into Mombies after giving birth and only one thing can stop them: sleep. Yet, scary statistics reveal that mothers of children under 18-months-old are barely clocking in five hours a night. Those days oh they were wo tough to get through! How can we save Mombies this Mother’s Day? By giving them the gift of a good night’s sleep on a water pillow!

The Floating Comfort Pillow by Mediflow, featuring an exclusive water base technology, is the only pillow clinically proven to improve the quality of sleep, according to a study conducted by Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. 

A water pillow, what exactly is that you ask? Yes it is really as simple as it sounds it is a classic pillow with an inner compartment to fill with water (don’t worry it is easy and a mini funnel is included) then your pillow turns into a pillow like no other. You can even customize the water base when you add water to achieve the ultimate amount of support as you desire! Create the most comfortable pillow available for your specific sleeping needs!

Check it out, production has begun on Marvel Studios’ Captain Marvel! Set to hit theaters everywhere on March 8, 2019 #CaptainMarvel

Are you a fan of the Marvel Captain Marvel? I have to admit that I was not that familiar with the character until recently (with the whole Infinity War character bonanza, I have been reading up on the lesser known characters to me…) but I am really intrigued by the character and I am looking forward to seeing Captain Marvel on the big screen next year. The current information about the movie including the cast has been released, be sure to check it out! Marvel Studios’ Captain Marvel opens in theaters everywhere on March 8, 2019!

Star Wars: The Last Jedi on 4K Ultra HD, and Blu-Ray today! Pick up your copy and enjoy this great film with the family!

The 8th part of the Star Wars saga is hitting shelves today, and is a must watch for anyone who considers themselves a movie fan. The Last Jedi picks up where the Force Awakens left off. Supreme Leader Snoak, Kylo Ren, and General Hux are still trying to establish the Empire's dominance over the galaxy. It's up to the Rebels led by Princess Leia, to try and put an end to the First Order's tyranny. 

Do we finally find out if Rey will be trained by the last Jedi Master in the Galaxy (?) Luke Skywalker? Or is Rey too much of a liability for Luke to train? Where do her emotions lie? Is she an ally to the Rebel forces or is she going to be swayed over to the dark side? Was Han correct? Is there still good left in Ben Solo? Or has Kylo Ren fully consumed Ben Solo?  Before we start with our take, I have to share a favorite photo, with a familiar character....Love this!

Lucasfilm’s Star Wars: The Last Jedi—the next action-packed chapter of the Star Wars saga— Earned critical acclaim and the No. 1 spot atop 2017’s list of highest-grossing films. The visually stunning film welcomes the return of original characters, including Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, Chewbacca, Yoda, R2-D2 and C-3PO and further explores the deepening journey of the saga’s new members, Rey, Finn, Poe, and Kylo Ren.

Sgt Stubby: An American Hero Family Movie, coming to theaters on April 13! #Giveaway

Meet Sgt. Stubby!  As documented in history books but largely forgotten today, the heartwarming CG-animated feature Sgt. Stubby: An American Hero from Fun Academy Studios, based on the incredible true story of the unbreakable bond between a young Soldier and a stray dog, is coming to theaters across the U.S. on April 13!  For his valorous feats, Stubby is still recognized today as the first dog promoted to the rank of Sergeant in the U.S. Army, and the most decorated dog in American history! Set against the backdrop of America’s entry into World War I, this CG-animated feature shows the world that the greatest heroes can come from the unlikeliest of places. 

Opening April 13 on approximately 3,000 screens across the U.S. and Canada and coinciding with the year-long 100th commemoration of the United States’ role in the “War to End All Wars,” Sgt. Stubby: An American Hero tells the story of Army “doughboy” Robert Conroy (Logan Lerman) whose life is forever changed when a little stray dog with a stubby tail wanders into a training camp in New Haven, Conn.  Conroy gives his new friend a meal, a name, a family and the chance to embark on an adventure that would define a century.

Narrated by Robert’s sister Margaret (Helena Bonham Carter), Stubby and his new best friend quickly find themselves in the trenches of France. Befriended by French poilu Soldier Gaston Baptiste (Gérard Dépardieu), Stubby accompanies the duo along their epic journey through harsh conditions and incredible acts of courage. Sgt. Stubby: An American Hero was directed by award-winning documentarian Richard Lanni in his feature film debut and stars Logan Lerman (Fury, The Perks of Being a Wallflower, Percy Jackson & The Olympians), Helena Bonham Carter (the upcoming Ocean’s 8, the Harry Potter films, The King’s Speech, Sweeney Todd) and Gérard Depardieu (Life of Pi, Cyrano De Bergerac, The Man in the Iron Mask, Green Card).

Have a trip planned? Here is some Innovative Luggage For Your Next Trip from JOY!

Spring Break is almost here and summer is right around the corner… Do you have any trips planned? I know I need to get away from this cold we have been having here in the northeast. Unfortunately, as we all know traveling these days can be a nightmare between constant delays and airline fees for practically everything, including checking a bag, which they somehow still manage to lose! So when I do get away and cure some of these winter blues, I will be packing my necessities in a carryon luggage piece. Sounds like a plan right? 

But how am I going to fit everything I need for my trip in a carryon bag? Sure I love the idea of saving $25.00 each way in fees, and knowing my bag is right above my head… but can I really fit all I need it a bag like this, do I just pack the absolute essentials and nothing else? Joy Mangano, the inventor and entrepreneur known for inventions such as the self-wringing Miracle Mop, Huggable Hangers, My Little Steamer, and countless other helpful inventions have come up with a solution to our carryon needs!

What would you like to eat? Want something fancy, something quick? Well the Disney Dream has it all! #DisneySMMC

 ****I was invited to attend the Disney Social Media Moms Land and Sea Celebration conference. I paid a conference fee to attend. I received a discounted rate for my stay. All opinions are my own. I have not been compensated or asked to post about Disney.****

Are you ready to go on a trip to foodie paradise? Scrumptious appetizers, entrees and desserts all you could want to enjoy? Well while you are on a Disney Cruise you can do just that! From breakfast, to lunch, to dinner they have it all. Well here you will get a glimpse of some of the food offerings on the Disney Dream. 

As you probably can tell, I am not the biggest fan of breakfast foods, I personally would rather go to an early lunch and just grab some fruit or a little thing for breakfast. But I was on a Disney Cruise, and the best part was I can eat whatever I want heck I could have sat in my cabin and just ordered a days’ worth of room service. All of you food (excluding the adults only restaurants Palo and Remy there is a $ amount to eat at each of these per person) you want is included! Yes even room service!

Like I mentioned I am not the hugest fan of breakfast foods, but you need to fuel up on something when you are off to a busy day on the Disney Dream. Each morning my mother and I ordered room service. We had a nice big coffee thermos and some fruit, we threw in some donuts and bagels and we were ready for the day. For breakfast you have the options to leave out your order the night before on a door hang, or call that morning with your order, and if you would rather stretch your legs you can visit the all you can eat breakfast bar at Cabanas restaurant. 

Speaking of Cabanas, that buffet was open for Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner. Closing for a short time between meals… If you got hungry between those times don’t worry, Flo’s Café has you covered. 

There are many Cars inspired favorites including Fillmores Favorites, enjoy some Sandwiches, Paninis, Fresh Fruits, Wraps, and Salads all made fresh to order. Or fill up on Sarge’s Choice, Filled Rolls, Wraps and Sandwiches or enjoy Stanley’s Selection Freshly prepared to order Paninis. From Lightning McQueen’s Hamburgers and Cheeseburgers to Flo's V8 Cafe - Luigis Pizza there is so much more all there for you to enjoy as much as you would like. But remember don’t fill up too much there is still the sit down dinner to come!

How to make your dreams come true, give back, and some Disney fun from the #DisneySMMC Session 2

 ****I was invited to attend the Disney Social Media Moms Land and Sea Celebration conference. I paid a conference fee to attend. I received a discounted rate for my stay. All opinions are my own. I have not been compensated or asked to post about Disney.****

After a whirlwind trip to Disney World, we were off on our sailing adventure! As a part of this adventure we would have another informative conference session. The session was filled with more informative speakers and lots of great information. Here are some of the highlights and guest speakers from this great Disney Media Moms event!

As the session started we were able to hear from Sharon Siskie, she is the Senior Vice President of Commercial Strategy who leads the sales and marketing efforts for a number of high-growth businesses within Disney Parks & Resorts. Her teams support Disney Cruise Line, Disney Vacation Club, Adventures by Disney and Aulani, a Disney Resort & Spa. 

Sharon was excited to let us know a little more about the Disney Cruise line. Did you know that there are 3 new vessels setting sail in 2021, 2022 and 2023 each new ship will be approximately 140,000 gross tons and each is currently planned to include about 1,250 guest staterooms. Well that is pretty exciting! There will also be more planned Marvel & Star Wars Day at sea’s. They are so very popular and Disney is listening and giving the cruisers what they love. 

Check out the new trailer and poster for #TheGrinch starring Benedict Cumberbatch in theaters November 9th

For their eighth fully animated feature, Illumination and Universal Pictures present The Grinch, based on Dr. Seuss’ beloved holiday classic.  The Grinch tells the story of a cynical grump who goes on a mission to steal Christmas, only to have his heart changed by a young girl’s generous holiday spirit.  Funny, heartwarming and visually stunning, it’s a universal story about the spirit of Christmas and the indomitable power of optimism.

Academy Award® nominee Benedict Cumberbatch lends his voice to the infamous Grinch, who lives a solitary life inside a cave on Mt. Crumpet with only his loyal dog, Max, for company.  With a cave rigged with inventions and contraptions for his day-to-day needs, the Grinch only sees his neighbors in Who-ville when he runs out of food.

                

Each year at Christmas they disrupt his tranquil solitude with their increasingly bigger, brighter and louder celebrations.  When the Whos declare they are going to make Christmas three times bigger this year, the Grinch realizes there is only one way for him to gain some peace and quiet: he must steal Christmas.  To do so, he decides he will pose as Santa Claus on Christmas Eve, even going so far as to trap a lackadaisical misfit reindeer to pull his sleigh.

A first time cruiser and the amazing ship The Disney Dream #DisneySMMC

 ****I was invited to attend the Disney Social Media Moms Land and Sea Celebration conference. I paid a conference fee to attend. I received a discounted rate for my stay. All opinions are my own. I have not been compensated or asked to post about Disney.****

February was a big month for me I recently had a milestone birthday my family and I visited London and Paris and I got to go on my very first cruise. Yes the very first, I have never been on a ship before (well if you count the Queen Mary.. but that was docked and did not go anywhere) and my very first cruise was going to be a Disney Cruise! As part of the Disney Social Media Moms Conference, there would be fun on land and a great adventure on sea. One of the things I have always wanted to do is go on a cruise, and this was a big thing for me to have this dream come true. 

Since this was my first cruise I was a bit concerned, what to pack? Will I get sick? How will the experience with the ship be? I was nervously exited, but I should not have worried, I was traveling with my mom a seasoned cruiser and Disney had everything planned. Before I knew it our land portion of the conference was finished we were set to leave our wonderful stay at Disney’s Coronado Springs and head on to the bus to set off the cruise terminal.

As we filed into the bus, it really hit me I was headed to a Disney Cruise, the ultimate of all cruises! I have heard such great stories of families traveling on Disney Cruises, and the magic they experience. I knew this was going to be a cruise like no other (well I had no other, but I knew if I had others in the future this would be the high water mark that other would have to try to live up to) an adventure with mother and daughter filled with fun and magic. The ride from the resort to Cape Canaveral took about an hour, not bad at all. Then before I knew it we well pulling into the cruise terminal and you could see her, The Disney Dream!

Arriving and being processed at the terminal was pretty easy, we were there early and the lines weren’t long. When we checked in we were each given our  “Key to the World” card, this card would have all we needed for the cruise, use it to charge, use it to get on and off the boat, to open your stateroom. This card was one of the most important thing you needed on the cruise. The longest we waited was to board the ship, we were in boarding zone 4. When you check in you get a zone and board accordingly, from zone 1 on.  

The announcement said “Zone 4 boarding” and my heart was fluttering with excitement, just one more line and we were on the ship. As soon as we crossed the dock and were boarding we were asked how we would like to be announced, and then they greeted us via the microphone by name while a crew of cast members applauded us as we boarded, it was a magical beginning to the cruise. The main staircase and area of the boat was breathtaking. The chandelier oh it was so beautiful, my pictures do not do it justice the color was so vibrant and the whole area looked so regal.

 

What was the first thing we did as soon as we boarded the cruise? Well we ate of course! I have heard stories about the abundance of food on a cruise, and boy those stories were true! We headed right off to the buffet at Cabanas for lunch. 

See the amazing new trailer for the new Disney Christopher Robin movie coming to theaters this summer! #ChristopherRobin #DisneySmmc

Recently at the Disney Media Moms Confrence, we were very fortunate to be able to get to hear more about this upcoming film from the Producer Kristen Burr. Kristen Burr, is a producer with Burr! Productions, a film production company based at Walt Disney Studios in Burbank, California. Her current projects include the live action adventure “Christopher Robin,” starring Ewan McGregor for director Marc Forster, on which Burr serves as a producer, and the “101 Dalmatians” prequel, “Cruella,” starring Emma Stone and to be directed by Alex Timbers.

Photo credit: "Disney, Photographer: Alex Mirabal".

She is the Producer of the upcoming Disney movie “Christopher Robin“ she told us a bit about her current project. We got a little look at the film, since it is still in post-production I do not have any pictures but from what I saw this movie is going to be a real tear jerker.  You get to see “stuffed” versions of your favorite 100 Acre Woods characters moving along with the live action actors. After seeing the short clip I teared up, just seeing pooh (an older well-loved version, slightly dirty and worn) just brought me back to my childhood and my well-loved stuffed friends. This is going to be a must see film.  The release date is August 3, 2018. 
             
 In the heartwarming live action adventure Disney’s “Christopher Robin,” the young boy who embarked on countless adventures in the Hundred Acre Wood with his band of spirited and lovable stuffed animals, has grown up and lost his way. Now it is up to his childhood friends to venture into our world and help Christopher Robin remember the loving and playful boy who is still inside. Now grown up, Christopher Robin is stuck in a job where he is overworked, underpaid and facing an uncertain future. He has a family of his own, but his work has become his life, leaving little time for his wife and daughter. 

Christopher has all but forgotten his idyllic childhood spent with a simple-minded, honey-loving stuffed bear and his friends. But when he is reunited with Winnie-the-Pooh, now tattered and soiled from years of hugs and play, their friendship is rekindled, reminding Christopher of the endless days of childlike wonder and make believe that defined his youth, when doing nothing was considered the very best something. Following an unfortunate mishap with Christopher Robin’s briefcase, Pooh and the rest of the gang including Piglet, Eeyore and Tigger, step out of the forest and venture into London to return the crucial possessions…because best friends will always be there for you.

A day of great tips, some tears and lots of fun, Disney Media Moms Conference session #1 #Disneysmmc

 ****I was invited to attend the Disney Social Media Moms Land and Sea Celebration conference. I paid a conference fee to attend. I received a discounted rate for my stay. All opinions are my own. I have not been compensated or asked to post about Disney.****

The Disney Media Moms conference was as amazing as you would think it would be it was filled with fun, lots of great new information and even a few tears. My takeaways from the first session range from excitement, knowledge, to appreciation and the joy of giving back. There is so much to share with you all. Where to start? Well, let’s start at the beginning. 

When we arrived at the conference the first speaker to greet us was the Chairmen Walt Disney Parks and Resorts Bob Chapeck, to discuss with us some great new things coming to Disney. Disney wants to  fully immerse guests in the experience, from the start of your day to the finish.

The cool new Minnie Vans, these are a great form of transportation that transports the guests one way from any location on property for a flat rate fee. Think of how great this would be after a long day at the parks, just call up a van and you don't have to wait for the bus! I can't wait to try this out. What is coming to the Disney parks soon? I am excited to hear that the Disney Skyliner to trans port guests from park to park is in the works. Another form of transport is always a plus. 

There are so many new rides and shows coming to the parks as well, including Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway this is a 2 1/2D ride so there will be no 3d glasses needed. What exactly is a 2 1/2D ride? We were not told, but I guess we will find out in 2019. The new ride at Epcot that features The Guardians of the Galaxy… well this is going to be an inside roller coaster!

There is a new show slated for Disney’s Animal Kingdom! On Earth Day, April 22, 2018, Disney’s Animal Kingdom at Walt Disney World Resort will debut “UP!
