Sports are a big deal in our world. Sports bring people together. Sports create healthy competition and family gatherings. I don’t think the world would be the same without sports. Many of us have parties dedicated to the “Big Game”. I am not a sport’s fan, but I love the sports parties! Is a great excuse for good friends, family, drinks, laughs, and FOOD. Everyone knows that one of the most important aspects of a sports party, is the food! You need to have a little bit of everything. It all needs to be easy to eat and convenient to grab while you are yelling at the television! Sports’ party food usually consist of wings, hotdogs, chips, and beer. Have you ever thought about switching things up a bit and adding chocolate?

For those of you who do not have cats, I bet you think they are so tidy and clean! Well my friends, you are incorrect. My cats are the MESSIEST eaters! I am literally cleaning up cat food and water off the floor daily. I don’t know what it is they are doing when they are eat, but food always ends up everywhere. It’s a little ridiculous. Dogs are even worse! They sobber and gorge on food. Water ends up every where with their messy lapping. haha. What if there were a product that collected the mess for you? I know it sounds impossible, but one company has designed something that every pet lover needs.

Sick of seeing the same “Walmart” Holiday cards over and over again? Most people just throw their holiday cards away after the holiday are over. I mean really, who needs a boring holiday card? It’s time that we make holiday cards meaningful like they used to be. Holiday cards should be pretty, decorative, and full of thought. They should be good enough to keep forever! I will admit it, I am just like most people. I’ve never made DIY cards until this year. I want to give someone a little bit more than everyone else is. I think its important to show love in your gifts.

Do you remember the last time that you walked through a crowded building? Maybe it is something your experience on a regular basis or maybe it’s a rare occasion for you. I’m not always pushing my way through crowds, but when I am all of my senses are on high alert. Maybe it’s an instinct, just to keep myself safe and aware. I can walk through a crowd and hear bits and pieces of conversation. I remember the guy in the bright red cap and the girl with the shorts that are a little too short. I feel the people bumping into me and I feel the sense of urgency in the air. I remember it all and take it all in as I walk through these crowds. The one thing that always sticks with me is scent. Scent can trigger memories that were long lost. I always get a variety of unpleasant and pleasant scents when rushing through crowds of people. Why not be the 1 in 10 people with a pleasant scent?

Who knew that a carry on could actually be LIGHT? I am the worst person when it comes to carry ons! I always end up with a bag that is either uncomfortable to carry, has wheels that don’t turn smoothly, or has a handle in an inconvenient location. If you travel often, you know that a perfectly designed carry on is a must have! You need one that will be light, easy to roll, easy to pack, and easy to lift! After many failed bags, I take shopping for a carry-on bag very seriously and I believe any traveler should! Here are a few important things that I look for in a good carry on bag:

To all you Orlando Mommies- I have something fun and exciting to share with you. Your child can take singing, acting, and dancing lessons right here in Orlando. The Pop Shop has a great opportunity for you. The best part is that I have a great deal for you by using the code at the bottom of this post.

Being healthy doesn’t only mean watching what you eat. It’s just as important to watch what you drink. Many people forget that drinks can be just as unhealthy as a lot of foods! I find great joy in trying new and unique foods and drinks. When it comes to looking for a unique drink, I typically stick with something healthy and natural. That is why I was super excited to try Caliwater’s All Natural Cactus Water. I have heard of cactus water, but I have never tried it. I mean come on, I live in Florida, there aren’t cactuses in all over the place. I must say, I was surprised by the health benefits of Caliwater’s Cactus Water.

I love trying new recipes. I am always searching for something new and different to cook with. A lot of times I find an amazing recipe, only to realize that I am missing one ingredient- Culinary Alcohol! The problem is that most grocery stores do not have culinary alcohol. In fact, I have never seen any in stores. Yes, you can use the real thing, but traditioners liquors are not made for cooking; they are made for drinking! Why not use a liquor that was specifically formulated for chefs? Why not use a product that was tested and approved by REAL chefs? I think every cook and every foodie would happily accept a chance to use REAL Culinary Alcohol!
