The Whistleblower

In a world where we dont tend to look outside of our box, is the real life horror of human trafficking. This is a real and very scary problem that is going on in our world today. Recently I was sent a Blu-Ray copy of the amazing and eye opening movie, The Whistleblower. This is a movie that will truly open your eyes and make you think, it makes you think about the fact that there are women out there who are being tortured and sold against their will to be violated and abused. In The Whistleblower, there is a woman who is a cop from Nebraska brought to the UN to be a peacekeeper, only to find the very corrupt and inhumane human trafficking ring of innocent women taking place right where she is. She soon finds herself very emotionally attached to these women and she is willing to do what ever it takes to free them and make sure that their captures are prosecuted for their part in harming and even killing these women. When she digs too deep she finds that those who should be trusted and should be helping, play a big role in the business of human trafficking. This movie is very heart pounding and scary, but all in the same it is real. This is based on a true story and once you have watched it, you will think twice about the world around you, and how corrupt even the people we consider to be peacekeepers can be the most evil humans alive on this planet. This is a movie that you will want to watch, but you need to watch with a open mind and with out the kids. I really loved this movie, even though it does make you sick to know that human trafficking is real and is happening everyday, it really opens your eyes and it is a movie that you will want to share with others as well!

Lucky Bums Discovery Sleeping Bag

We are a family who love to be outdoors. We love to go camping, and my kids are counting down the days to Spring, when the weather gets warmer and we can go camping. My kids love camping just as much as we do, which is great. I think that kids should be shown the love and the beauty of the outdoors and one of the best ways you can show your kids an appreciation for the outdoors is to spend time camping. This year, my daughter will be using a new sleeping bag for camping. We were sent the Lucky Bums Discovery Sleeping Bag in pink for my daughter. Even though the weather has not quite warmed up, we were still able to check this sleeping bag out by testing it on a indoor camp that my kids constructed. This mummy style bag is perfect for kids to sleep in when camping or even for those fun indoor sleep overs. I love the bag that the sleeping bag comes in, so it is very easy to put back up when we are done with it. I know that when we go camping, being able to pack in and out easily is a plus for us, so we can enjoy our time outdoors instead of setting up and packing up camp. This year, when you are preparing for your camping season with the family, check out the Discovery Sleeping Bags from Lucky Bums, they have them in both blue and pink so you can get them for both boys and girls!

Carhartt Men's Jackets

My husband tends to spend a lot of his time outdoors when he is out working. With the cold weather upon us, I want him to be able to stay warm and comfortable while he is working. A brand that we have trusted and used in the past is Carhartt. My husband has loved his work wear from Carhartt over the years and it is a brand that we turn to and trust first when shopping for items for him to wear to work. The clothing from Carhartt is made to be tough, and is made to last. Recently we were sent a Men's Sandstone Detroit Jacket that is Blanket Lined in Petrol. My husband had another Carhartt jacket that he has had for years, he used it when he worked in the oil fields and the jacket proved itself to be as strong as the name. Unfortunately, since my husband did work in the oil fields with this jacket, he got oil stains all over it. So when I was given the chance to review a product from Carhartt, I knew that I wanted to get my husband another jacket that he could use for work. This jacket is very durable and with the blanket lining, it also keeps him warm.

I also love the button cuffs on the arm and on the waist, so my husband can adjust them as needed. The zippered pockets both on the front and on the inside are very handy so my husband can safely store away any items without having to worry about losing them while he is working. In all, this is yet again, another wonderful jacket from Carhartt and it truly does stand to live up to the Carhartt name!

i play Organically Grown Layette (Preparing for Baby Guide)

I love shopping for baby clothes. I think that there is nothing cuter than those adorable little outfits that will fit your baby once they are here. When I shop for my babies clothing, I look for clothing that will not irritate my babies skin, something that will be soft against their skin. A company that I just love when it comes to such products is i play. At i play, I can get my baby organically grown layette that is not only extremely cute, but also soft and organic, so it wont irritate my babies delicate skin. Recently I was sent a very cute set from i play for review, I was sent the Girls Cottage Organically Grown Footie and Girls Cottage Organically Grown Print Baby Cap.

I love how soft these items are. I also love how adorable they are both together and separate. This footie is the perfect item of clothing for the new baby to spend their day in, and is not meant to be used as a sleeper. So when I am out running errands with the new baby, I know that the baby will be nice and cozy in this outfit! The cap is also very adorable and very soft, so to protect the babies head both indoors and out and keep your babies head from loosing too much heat. I love that the cotton that is used to make the adorable organically grown layette from i play is made from cotton that is grown with out the use of toxins, synthetic fertilizers or pesticides. So the fabric is the safest and healthiest available out there to use against your babies delicate skin. When you are looking for new clothes when preparing for your new baby, head on over to i play and check out their collection of organically grown layette as well as many other great items that you will need when preparing for baby!

Weight Watchers Ice Cream

A lot of us made New Years resolutions at the beginning of the month, but now we have to stick to those resolutions. Everyday life can throw us off, but there are ways to get around those everyday temptations and still stick to those resolutions. I think one of the biggest resolutions that most of us make and break by the end of the month is to loose weight. One way that we can stick to those weight loss resolutions is to stock up on the foods and snacks that we love but the low cal products like the products from Weight Watchers. I think that one of my weaknesses when  it comes to dieting is sweets. I love chocolate and I love ice cream, and those two products can really wreck a diet very easily. That is what I love about the Weight Watchers Ice Cream Products. This year, even though I will have to wait a bit before I can do any dieting, my husband wants to get a head start on me, so when we were sent a variety of the Weight Watchers Ice Cream products, I knew that he would be pleased and would enjoy the products. We both have weaknesses for sweets and my husbands big weakness is ice cream. He loves the Dark Chocolate Dulce de Leche. He loves caramel and chocolate, and these bars are dipped in a dark chocolate shell, then have caramel swirled through the ice cream. Another fave of his is the Chocolate Dipped Strawberry, this bar is dipped in milk chocolate then has strawberry ice cream with strawberry swirled through it, yumm!! One of the bars that really caught my eyes was the Dark Chocolate Raspberry. Covered in dark chocolate then after you eat the dark chocolate shell, you get the raspberry ice cream under, which is just so delicious. The final product that we were sent was the Snack Sized Fudge Bars, which make for a great sweet snack sized goody that you might be craving at the end of the day without ruining your diet!! In all these ice cream products are all great products to eat in place of those high calorie deserts and you can stick to your diet. If you are on the Weight Watchers diet, then these fit in and only count as a few points depending on which product you go with, like the Snack Sized Fudge Bars that only count as 1 point!! In all, when you are struggling to stick to that New Years resolution, dont struggle any more with temptation, instead give in to those temptations with the Weight Watchers Ice Cream products!!!
