The Shark Rocket Complete

Get Yours HERE

Dirt better think twice.

The Shark® Rocket® Complete with DuoClean Technology has the power of two distinct brushrolls spinning in unison to remove dirt from carpets and bare floors of every type.

FEATURES:

The dirt that gathers on floors and in carpets comes in three sizes - small, large, and stuck-on. Cleaning all three can be a real challenge for an ordinary vacuum. With Triple Particle Cleaning, there's no need to rely on dust mops and brooms to get the dirt left behind.



 With a family of six and 2 cats, I vacuum every day and I do not have time to used different types of mops, brooms and lug around a heavy vacuum cleaner, so I was really excited to get The Shark Rocket Complete!  The name says it all! This lightweight vac is simple to put together right out of the box, every piece just snaps together quickly and easily and even comes with a drawstring bag for accessories and a wall mount that stores the The Shark Rocket Complete for easy access, anytime I need to use it.  I think some of the best features are the 2 brushrolls and how they work together to get everything from dust to cereal and stuck on messes on the hardwood floor as well as the carpeting and door mats.  I love that it can get anywhere I need to vacuum and swivels nicely and even came with an under appliance attachment to get under my kitchen appliances which always have cereal and crumbs under them. The attachments are easy to use and when I am done, I put them back int he drawstring bag which I hang right next to the wall mount or I can attach them to the vacuum handle. I like that it is easy to empty the dirt cup and does not end up spilling all over my clean floors. The lightweight, easy to use, fantastic suction and ability to go from different piles of carpet to bare floors is what I think makes this an amazing vacuum and I think it would make a great gift or a nice addition to any household or office.

October is NATIONAL PIZZA MONTH  
brought to you by B&G Foods' MAMA MARY'S® PIZZA CRUSTS! 


On specially marked packages of Mama Mary’s Pizza Crust from October through November at Walmart stores nationally, there will be a fold-out booklet with more than $5 in coupon in savings from Mama Mary’s Pizza Crusts and Pepperoni, Dole® Pineapple, Cabot® Cheese, Kikkoman® Teriyaki, Barilla® Sauce, and Filippo Berio® Olive Oil



PLUS some great recipes for your friends and family to try when getting together to make home made pizzas on Game Night, Family Night, Movie Night or Pizza Night! We make our own pizzas which is quick and easy with Mama Mary's already made crusts.  We all get exactly the toppings we want and the pizzas bake in under 10 minutes and we are ready to enjoy our family night in no time at all! It is a great way for all of us to get in the kitchen and work together, have some laughs and talk about our week and decide what fun activity we want to do for the night, like watch a new or old favorite movie, live sports, video games, board games, outdoor kickball, puzzles, books or whatever we choose. We do this every Friday night which fits into our busy schedule and gives us the quality family time and a fun, quick, delicious dinner we all look forward to and enjoy!



For our traditional Friday Night Pizza Making Family Fun Night, we decided to try a different recipe and we thought we would try an alfredo sauce with grilled chicken breast, spinach, roasted tomato and shredded mozzarella cheese. It was fantastic! I am going to make a big full size pizza with this recipe next time because everyone wanted a slice!


 Our 8 year old chose to make a personal size pizza with a spray of olive oil on the crust, red sauce, mini pepperoni, shredded mozzarella, another layer of mini pepperoni and another layer of shredded mozzarella for a double pepperoni and cheese pizza!Our 4 year old chose to make a single layer of mini pepperoni and shredded mozzarella. 




While our pizzas were baking in the oven, we started to read a new book titled: DEX, a tween novel that is being featured in the store savings booklet with two "DEXCIPES" 


DEX by Sheri Lynn Fishbach (Aug. 9, hardcover, $16.99, ISBN 978-1-943978-04-5). 

A gawky, lovesick amateur chef opens a gourmet lunch stand on his lawn. Ages 8–up. Our 8 year old is really into kids cooking shows and checking out kids recipe books at the library, so we thought DEX would be a fun activity for our Friday night pizza making family fun night. We took turns reading and we were soon wanting to know more know about DEX and his plan to win the heart of his middle school "crush" and the story gets deeper and deeper with twists and turns. We plan to continue reading before bedtime each night until we get to the end. So far it is a good book for 8-13 year olds that is not just about cooking and leaves us wanting to know more.

Natures Rite Bruise-Strain-Tear Repair Review


#TendonLigamentRepair #AD mynaturesrite.com

Bruise-Strain-Tear Repair is an all-natural, water-based trans-dermal gel that is designed to greatly enhance the healing of injuries. Twisted or sprained ankles, Tennis Elbow, Rotator Cuff injuries all require the repair of tendons and ligaments.  BST Repair relieves the pain while enhancing the activity level of the fibroblasts that produce the collagen to repair the damage.  While repairing and relieving pain, it also improves muscle lubricity so that the remaining fibers share the load from the muscles.  All of this together produces and ideal healing environment and takes weeks off the recovery time from acute injuries.  Clinical studies have also show chronic condition clearing up with a couple months of use.This product doesn't mask the pain and leave the problem.  This product repairs the damage so that you return to your sport stronger than before.  Don't work-it-out, don't chill-it-out, don't cut it out.  Fix it with all-natural, Bruise-Strain-Tear Repair.

How should it be used?

The most important thing to remember when using BST Repair is that it maintains the healing process after the discomfort and inflammation has diminished. It's too easy to stop applying it when the discomfort is gone. But remember, it take longer than that for the repair to be complete. Apply the BST Repair 3 times per day for 3 to 4 weeks for acute injuries and 4 to 6 weeks for chronic problems.For an athlete who has damaged some ligaments in their knee, apply BST Repair 3 times per day until the container is empty. What the heck, the first X-ray costs more than a bottle. The same course of action is appropriate for a sprained ankle as well.For runners who are suffering from plantar fasciitis, BST Repair should be applied 3 times per day. It may take 4 to 6 weeks depending on the level of damage and inflammation in the fascia.When wrestlers get mat burns or basket-ball players get court burns, it can be used to expedite the healing of the skin. It is important though, that the wound be kept clean and disinfected. BST Repair will greatly increase the re-epithelialization (new skin generation) so dramatically that infectious pathogens can become trapped.



 Since I have started a weight loss journey 8 months ago, I have become much more active and along with that comes bumps, bruises, strains and pains, so I was happy to get this Bruise-Strain-Tear Repair from Natures Rite. I love that it comes in a large easy to use tube and there is no offensive odor or greasy filmy mess left behind. The gel absorbs very nicely into the skin and does not stain or leave a residue on my clothes.  I recently had an injury from a large bag of wet soil falling off a pallet which left me with 3 large deep bruises and a very sore knee. I thought, this is the perfect time to try Natures Rite Bruise-Strain-Tear Repair and I'm sure glad I did. I have been applying it a few times each day and I will continue to, while it helps with the repair.  I have had no negative reactions and the pain and swelling is getting less and less each day.

Muscle Honey Sports Gel


#AthleticEnhancement #AD muscle honey


Muscle Honey is designed to improve the lubricity and function of your muscles and tendons. It allows for a better warm-up and enhanced athletic performance. Using the Muscle Honey before an athletic event will keep you from cramping or injuring muscles due to over-exertion or insufficient warm-up. The enhancement in muscle performance and endurance will be very clear. Using the Muscle Honey after an event allows for faster and more thorough recovery.




Muscle Honey Sports Gel™

Muscle Honey Sports Gel is intended to support athletes:




  • Improves muscle performance
  • Reduces the discomfort of competition
  • Improves waste clearance from muscles
  • Faster and better recovery

  • The gel is a water-decoction of numerous herbs, roots and berries that have been used for centuries by hunters, runners and laborers to achieve these results. While the use of these herbs is traditional and well supported, the combination of them all in one trans-dermal gel is unique to this century. Where once, the herbs and berries had to be rubbed on the arms and legs, now it can be conveniently absorbed through the skin in this water-based trans-dermal gel. Never before, have athletes had the power of all of these natural constituents combined into one easy-to-apply gel. This represents a new day in herbal sports enhancement.
    Let's explore for a moment, the individual herbs that make up Muscle Honey and the benefits that they offer the athlete.

    Improve Muscles Efficiency:

    The first order of business is to improve the performance of the muscles. This can be done in several ways. Witch Hazel increases the muscle fiber lubricity so that the muscle body becomes more supple and moves more freely as if it had received the perfect warm-up. This allows more output with less waste and less damage. Less warm-up; More work-out. Additionally, Peppermint leaf improves the blood circulation within the muscles and Juniper berry helps to flush lactic acid (a by-product of muscular exertion).

    Facilitate Greater Exertion:

    White Willow Bark helps acts as an analgesic to relieve the discomfort from over-exertion that often limits the extent of athletic performance. Push Harder; Hurt less. Ginseng provides increased energy to allow higher levels of output and more endurance. Because not all athletes are young, the Devil's claw provides joint support to improve the lubricity of the synovial tissues within knees, ankles, elbows and hips.

    Enhance Recovery and Repair:

    After heavy exertion and competition, there will be muscle fiber damage, micro-tears in ligaments and tendons and bruising in muscle bodies. In order to facilitate the repair of these issues and minimize the recovery discomfort, Muscle Honey contains Comfrey which promotes fibroblast activity and hence tissue mending. The alantoin in Comfrey maintains the high levels of collagen production needed to repair the damaged tissues. Any athlete knows the value of Arnica Montana in the healing process. It contains enzymes that break-up micro-clots from damage and bruising. This allows the blood to more effectively deliver healing constituents through the micro-capillary bed. Sweet Marjoram relieves cramps that may form in muscles that were not able to clear the waste build-up as quickly as it was produced. Recover Faster; Compete again sooner.

    Herbal Ingredients and their traditional uses:




  • Comfrey — Tissue mending
  • Witch Hazel — Increase muscle fiber lubricity
  • Arnica Montana — Support of healing
  • White Willow Bark — discomfort relief
  • Devil's Claw — Joint support
  • Peppermint leaf — Circulation and physical support
  • Ginseng — Energy enhancement
  • Juniper berry — Flush lactic acid
  • Sweet Marjoram — Cramp relief

  • Other Ingredients:




  • Carbomer — gelling (less than 1%)
  • Optiphen — preserving (less than 1%)
  • TEA — pH adjustment (200 ml tube of gel)

  • Uses: 
    Discomfort Relief — Muscle Spasms — Muscle Cramping — Muscle Preparation — Flushing Lactic Acid
    WADA & NCAA compliant
    Lubricious enough to be used as a Graston Gel

    Makes your warm-up more effective








    I love that this Muscle Honey does not contain menthol so I can use it and still get dressed up and go out and not smell like menthol after using it. I really like that it is used before and after an athletic event to warm up muscles and tendons and help recover after the event. I prefer the natural herbal ingredients in muscle honey and I find it to be a step above the other muscle lubricants I have tried on the market.

    Photography is my passion, I just wish I had more time to concentrate on it. One thing I always have time for is to grab my camera bag whenever I hit the door and head out somewhere. Whether it be a trip to the local park, a long walk along the beautiful nearby jogging/bike trails, the fabulous Columbus zoo or a trip into the hustle and bustle of the city. I find everything from the ordinary to the extraordinary, which both can be amazing subject matter.  Light plays a huge part in the way things are seen through photography and I love the way horizontal and vertical lines lead the eye, especially in photos of buildings, bridges, paths and trees.  I really like that you never know what you will come across while roaming with your camera.  I am happy to come across a beautiful caterpillar or butterfly and amazed when I  spot a crane on the tiny island in the lake at our local park.  I was lucky enough to get a quick photo of a magnificent snow owl in my own back yard. It had been snowing like crazy with blizzard conditions and while I was washing dishes admiring the giant snowflakes outside my kitchen window, this snow owl landed on our 6ft wooden fence and I luckily had my camera on the kitchen table because I had takes some pics of the red cardinals at our bird feeders earlier that morning.  I was only able to get off a few quick shots and he was gone.  If I had not had my camera ready, I would have missed it! This is why I love to keep my camera ready and take it almost everywhere I go. You never know what you may come across in your day to day journey.  From sunrise to sunset, I find some pretty cool unplanned moments to capture. Here are a few of my favorites and I would love you to share your favorites as well. I really like that the Olympus OM-D E-M5 Mark II  features an all metal body which is sealed for protection against moisture and dust while I am roaming around in the elements.
