I often blog about safe, natural products for families and for women or children. I am a huge supporter of "clean" cosmetics and personal care products, and I often choose products free of harsh chemicals, parabens, and sulfates. Mother Nature has tons to offer in the way of botanical ingredients and essential oils, so I choose these more often than not when it comes to caring for my family's needs. 

Sometimes, though, my husband and teenager gripe. My products smell too feminine, and they don't want to go to work and school respectively smelling like flowers. I think my floral scents are amazeballs, but I'm not a dude. So really, I guess I can't blame them for wanting a more masculine option. 

Thankfully, I just discovered New Man Revolution. This veteran owned brand offers natural bath and body care products that cater to the manly man. Whether it's Firm Handshake Manpoo or Bold Awakening Body Wash, this stuff is made for the manliest men of all. In fact, their labels even state that these products are 110% manly. 

So how did NMR get started? 
​
The founders of NMR wanted something new in the shower. They wanted products that worked as hard as they did; products that smelled awesome and weren’t packed with chemicals. Months of testing in Ryan’s kitchen, and multiple pots of coffee, yielded four core products that became the bedrock of NMR’s shower experience. These initial conversations even took place on fighter jet flight lines and fire houses in the Northwest. The founders of NMR are Veterans and Firefighters. They use principles learned in these professions to give men the absolute best shower experience possible at a value that respects their hard earned money. 5% of net profit is given to America’s Vet Dogs. During the holidays 5% of net profit is also given to the National Fallen Firefighters foundation to increase training that saves Firefighters’ lives.

Bold men’s products.
Top quality ingredients.
Proceeds benefit Veterans and Firefighters.

It doesn't get much better than that, now does it? 

The new CG-animated feature Kikoriki: LegendOf The Golden Dragon is coming to DVD in North America onMarch 7, 2017 from Shout! Factory in partnership with Odin’s Eye Entertainment and Riki Group. Beloved around the world, and known to U.S. audiences from the “GoGoRiki” TV series that aired on The CW, the cute, colorful Kikoriki crew are now starring in their own movie. Watch the Kikoriki: Legend Of The Golden Dragon trailer, available on You Tube now.
 
Kikoriki: Legend Of The Golden Dragon, produced by RIKI Group and directed by Dennis Chernov, is the first of two Kikoriki movies that Shout! Factory will release, and it will include an egg decorating kit, while supplies last.
 
The lovably simple residents of peaceful Kikoriki Island are thrown kicking and screaming into big adventure when their resident scientist invents an amazing device – a helmet called "the Improverizor" – which takes personality traits from one person and swaps them with someone else's!
 
But when spineless young Wally tries to use the untested device to cure his cowardice, he ends up even more spineless – by getting accidentally body-switched with a squirmy little caterpillar. Now he's got more to fear than he ever dreamed, and so do his fellow villagers, as they're dragged into a madcap adventure packed with plane crashes, mistaken identities, erupting volcanoes and angry natives on the warpath. Boy, do the Kikoriki Сrew wish they could switch places now – with anyone!

Any Marvel fans out there? My husband and kids absolutely FLIP for anything comic related, so they were absolutely thrilled when Marvel decided to make the film, Doctor Strange. Dan actually said this is one of his favorite characters, and that it's unfair that Doctor Strange never got as wildly popular as other comic characters we all know and love. 
​
Marvel Studios’ “Doctor Strange,” the story of Dr. Stephen Strange, Master of the Mystic Arts, has mesmerized both audiences and critics, pulling in more than $658.3 million at the worldwide box office to date and earning a 90% critics consensus on Rotten Tomatoes. The biggest single-character introduction in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), it also carries on Marvel Studios’ winning streak as the 14th consecutive MCU film to debut at #1 at the domestic box office.

On Feb. 14, “Doctor Strange” fans can bring home the critically acclaimed blockbuster early on Digital HD/3D and Disney Movies Anywhere, or on Blu-ray 3D™, Blu-ray, Digital SD, DVD and On-Demand on Feb. 28. The Blu-ray and Digital releases come packaged with over 80 minutes of fascinating, never-before-seen bonus materials, including five behind-the-scenes featurettes, five deleted scenes, hilarious outtakes, part two of the comical mockumentary “Team Thor,” audio commentary, and an exclusive look at the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

The film boasts an award-winning cast, including Benedict Cumberbatch (“The Imitation Game,” “Black Mass”) as Dr. Stephen Strange, Chiwetel Ejiofor ("12 Years a Slave," “Triple 9”) as Mordo, Rachel McAdams (“Spotlight,” “Southpaw”) as Dr. Christine Palmer, Benedict Wong (“The Martian,” “Prometheus”) as Wong, Michael Stuhlbarg (“A Serious Man,” “Steve Jobs”) as Dr. Nicodemus West, Benjamin Bratt (“Traffic,” “Piñero”) as Jonathan Pangborn, and Scott Adkins (“El Gringo,” “The Expendables 2”) as Lucian/Strong Zealot, with Mads Mikkelsen (“The Hunt,” “Casino Royale”) as Kaecilius and Academy Award® winner Tilda Swinton (2007 Best Supporting Actress, “Michael Clayton”; “Julia”) as The Ancient One.

The month of February is considered a romantic month thanks to Valentine’s Day. However, romance and staying healthy is a yearlong love affair. What better way to “Say I Love You” than with the natural and healthy benefits of Superior Source Vitamins.

Best of all, Superior Source Vitamins are MicroLingual® with “Under the Tongue Technology”
that works fast, and are quickly absorbed into the body, dissolving in seconds. Did you know that...by swallowing supplements, as much as 50% of the potency is lost in the high acid environment of the stomach.

This month, I have a wonderful variety of Superior Source Vitamins I'd like to share with you. I take these products personally, and can attest to just how much easier these are to handle....Since there's no swallowing horse pills involved! This makes Superior Source perfect for the entire family, even those who typically have a hard time with big, bulky pills.

The month of February is considered a romantic month thanks to Valentine’s Day. However, our sweet tooth
is a yearlong love affair. What better way to say “I Love You” than with the sweetness and health benefits of
Manuka Honey. PRI has a wonderful variety of Manuka products from New Zealand. Spread it on toast, eat
it out of the jar or honey sticks; kids will love the Manuka Lollipops and the caramels just melt in your mouth! Great for snacks, parties or to share with friends. PRI’s Manuka snacks are certain to put a smile on anyone’s face.

New Zealand is one of the last bastions of purity as an environmentally protected and GMO Free region with the cleanest oceans on the globe. Case in point, Manuka is the gold standard for honey and is produced exclusively
in New Zealand from bees and flowers that are environmentally protected. Enjoy these safe and soothing products every day and feel great eating them! No artificial flavors, colors, no corn syrup or refined sugars and
NO preservatives.

​Pacific Resources International has been delivering Manuka Honey beauty and health products to Americans for over 25 years. (This includes candy and treats!) Manuka is the gold standard for honey and is produced exclusively in New Zealand from bees and flowers that are environmentally protected. Enjoy these safe and soothing products every day and feel great using them!

I am a HUGE fan of PRI, and of Manuka Honey in general. Domestic honey has been in the news lately, and not for very good reasons. Thankfully, I don't have to worry about my Manuka Honey, since it comes directly from beautiful New Zealand, and is completely pure and clean. 

Happy Valentine's Day, everyone! Today is the day that we celebrate love of all kinds. Whether it's romantic love, love for our children, our even our undying devotion to our 4-legged family members, it's always a great idea to show our affection to those we love the most. 

We homeschool our youngest 2 children, so we decided to make some fun, healthy Valentine's Day crafts, courtesy of the awesome folks at Halos. Halos Mandarins are an easy to peel, fun to eat fruit that my children absolutely love. These California-native fruits are seedless, juicy, and are non-GMO verified. They're basically Mother Nature's perfect sweet snacks! 

They are versatile enough to make things like Yogurt Dipped Halos or refreshing smoothies, or you can simply peel them and eat them as is. There's no wrong way to enjoy Halos. Added bonus: They're totally guilt-free, and are a much more nutritional choice than candies or chocolate.
