Supreme Protein Carb Conscious Quadruple Layer Protein Bars

 Supreme Protein Carb Conscious Quadruple Layer Protein Bars 9 Pack
Supreme Protein Carb Conscious 
Quadruple Layer Protein Bars


I think in this fast paced world we are all looking for some healthy ways to hit our protein intake during the day. Missing protein can result in poor health, thinning hair and weakness. I, personally am always on a quest for a great source of protein. Busy lifestyles lead to bad food choices and lower protein intake. I was so pleased to have the opportunity to test out Supreme Protein’s products. I had the chance to sample three flavors of bars: Peanut Butter Pretzel Twist, Caramel Nut Chocolate and Peanut Butter & Jelly. I honestly cannot tell you which one I liked the best. It was a three way tie. Hands down I have to say that Supreme Protein bars are delicious. You almost forget you are eating a protein bar. I have been a fan of protein bars for the past 6 years and have tried many, many brands of bars. I really did not expect that Supreme Protein would be any different than the brands I had already tried. I was pleasantly surprised. I think the thing I liked most (besides the delicious taste) was that there was no whey aftertaste. I enjoyed the bar and that was where it ended. I did not have a foul taste in my mouth for the next 2 hours. That in itself sold me! Now, as far as the variety of tastes go, you just can’t go wrong. I have never seen Peanut Butter & Jelly before. I am happy to say, it was as delicious as both the Caramel Nut and the Peanut Butter Pretzel Twist. Each bar has 15grams of protein plus essential vitamins and minerals. It all adds up to one delicious protein bar. Supreme Protein bars are available at CVS, Wal-Mart, Wallgreens, GNC, and thousands of other retail locations.

FyrFlyz Spin Your… FyrFlyz We Own The Night!

by Leave a Comment



Looking for some great family fun? Maybe an alternative to video games for kids. I may have found the answer with this little high energy toy!
With these days of video and online games, sometimes it’s difficult to find something that is not electronic to keep the kids occupied. I think we have found something that is really fun and entertaining, not just hours, but days, or longer.
When FyrFlyz arrived in the mail, I wasn’t sure what they were or how my children would react to them.
 It was amazing to see just how excited they were to try them out!

I knew the kids would initially like them because anything that lights up in our house is a hit, but I could really not imagine the show I was in for in the coming days!
FyrFlyz are the creation of i-Star Entertainment President Joel Rosenzweig and CEO Marty Abrams, who have had major success with Magna Doodle, Micronauts, and Sky Dancers, just to name a few. I can see why this company has earned the reputation for creating some of the hottest products for kids, tweens, and teens. 
                                  
FyrFlyz was a total hit in our house. My twelve year old son could not wait to try them out. There are 3 types available: Cyclone, Nytfyr, and Blue Angel. These compact toys can create many many hours of exciting play as the kids discover new light patterns including Large Orbits, Sydwynders, Black Holes, or Shooting Stars!
If it was not enough fun to watch my son making a million patterns with his FyrFlyz, I decided to take them to an event I was working to see how other children would react. The kids loved FyrFlyz! Thanks to FyrFlyz we were able to make quite a few children happy that day. Both boys and girls enjoyed making stars, circles, and my favorite, flowers!




My children really had a blast with FyrFlyz and are learning new patterns to make with them every day!
Don’t miss your chance at some light up fun! 
Check out FyrFlyz.com for locations where you can get some FyrFlyz of your own!

Traces NYC

by 2 Comments

US National Tour
 NYC
Looking for a great off Broadway show that’s fun for the entire family? You can find one with Traces. So exciting!
Traces, which gets us in touch with the seven character cast, really is a fast paced, thrilling, acrobatic filled, stunt based show.
Traces will have you holding onto your seat as the cast flies through the air just a few feet in front of you. Not to mention there are no safety nets. 
By the end of the show, I felt as though I knew each and every member of the cast. This show is very unique and connects directly to the audience. I’m not sure where else you can find basketball, contemporary dance, modern dance, skateboards and more right in front of your eyes. You will not be disappointed!
Traces has a unique way of pulling the audience in, from the minute you are seated, including the preshow(which you may be the star of) and the directions before Traces begins! Talk about a fascinating use of irony.

Traces is a 90 minute, no intermission show. But, you won’t want to leave in the middle anyway. The show only gets better as it goes on. One act is better than the next. I had the pleasure of enjoying this show with my 20, 12 and 4 year old and they all loved it! 
Special thanks to Traces for providing review tickets.

The Lion King 3D In Theaters Sept. 16th-Screening Review!

In Theaters September 16th for 
A Limited Engagement

Recently, I had the pleasure of attending the NYC screening of The Lion King 3D. Being a forever Disney fan, my family and I could not wait for the event to take place. The movie has long been a family favorite and toys from our now 20 year old son are still scattered in our play room for our 4 year old daughter to enjoy. Seeing the movie the day it opened many years ago (and tearing up every time since then that I watch it) I was curious to see if there would really be any difference seeing it in 3D. 
I must admit, you definitely will be missing out on some Disney magic if you do not see this in its limited engagement 2 week theater run.
 From the moment the Circle of Life began to play, 
I was overcome with emotion and felt so much a part of the experience. The transition to 3D was wonderful.
 Just when I thought the movie could not get any better, there it was right in front of my eyes. Of course, the 3D glasses were a real plus, especially during the stampede, for more reasons than one (wonderful after all these years to finally have something covering my eyes as the tears rolled).
By now it is hard to find someone that does not know the story of brother vs. brother in this African tale of jealously, love, and the meaning of true family and of course, the circle of life. If you have never seen The Lion King on the big screen, now is your chance. Of course, it will be thrilled to watch this one over and over, as we already have a copy of the new DVD on pre-order. I’m sure it will continue to be a renewed family favorite. 
Em getting some African face-painting.

After the movie we were pleased to be a part of the mix and mingle. Lion King 3D swag was flowing with posters, tattoos, rulers, and lunch bags provided by Subway. More fun was the children came  along in the form of face-painting and delicious goodies. A few celebs were a part of the fun and could not have been any nicer. We truly had a magical day!
