How to Look Good In Wedding Photos— Insider’s Guide

I LOVE my jewelry! And love getting new and exciting pieces to add to my collection. So when I ran across a SOUFEEL charm bracelet, I knew I wanted to check them out!
The main focus of SOUFEEL are the charm bracelet, but they also offer necklaces, rings and earrings. The charms are from SOUFEEL which are 925 sterling silver and can fit Pandora, Chamilia bracelet with the lower price.
To create my bracelet, I chose a basic bracelet on which I would attach my charms. The bracelet is 925 sterling silver and it’s a very simple one. I like the simple bracelets, that way it doesn’t overpower the beautiful charms, and you can wear it on its own for a simple look. The clasp is unlike anything I’ve seen, and when it closes it looks just like another charm on the bracelet! The clasp is pretty simple to close and it NEVER opens by accident.
To start I picked three charms that were close to my heart! A Vintage Camera, A Red Suitcase & An Ocean Waves & Beach Glass Bead.
The Vintage Camera Charm, is for my passion for photography. I’ve always had this passion, even before I was old enough to have my own camera. I can’t tell you how often I drive my husband crazy with, “oh, that would make a great picture, I wish I had my camera with me!” The charm captures this beautifully! It’s sterling silver with a “diamond gem” for the lens. You all know I love sparkle so adding that touch made this charm even more special for me!
The Red Travel Suitcase Charm is for, well, my LOVE of travel. It’s in my soul. Ever since I was little I’ve wanted to travel the world and explore new (to me) places and experience new adventures. All the history, magic and wonder that the world holds is summed up in this tiny red suitcase charm!
The last bead that I ordered was the Waves and Beach Faceted Murano Glass Bead, it’s a beautiful ocean blue bead with gold foil inserts that represent the sand. I got this bead for my love of the open ocean and the fact that we live on the coast. I love that it adds a bit of classy color to my bracelet!
My finished bracelet is so cute and is really a reflection of me. It was tough narrowing it down and there are a few more charms I’ll be picking up: Passport, Cool Drink, and the Blue Heart that will represent my 4 little hearts that fill my heart. Plus a few spacers to fill it out!

It could be a sneeze in the office or a tickle in your throat while waiting for the train; it’s never a good sign when those first symptoms of a cough, cold or flu hit. You can pretend you’re not sick and hope for the best, or take the first steps to feeling better…your feel better formula…Luckily Robitussin® 12 Hour Cough Relief and Robitussin® Maximum Strength Severe Multi-Symptom Cough, Cold & Flu are available to help you tackle whatever this cold and flu season throws your way.
One dose of Robitussin® 12 Hour Cough Relief provides up to 12 hours of cough relief, delivering long-lasting cough control and all day and all night. Robitussin® Maximum Strength Severe Multi Symptom Cough, Cold & Flu products offer powerful relief from your worst cough, cold, & flu symptoms and come in both daytime and nighttime formulas.
While Robitussin® is there to tackle the worst cough and cold symptoms, it’s only one part of the formula that gets me feeling better faster…we all know moms don’t get a sick day…so the best I can do is take some Robitussin® Maximum Strength Severe Multi-Symptom Cold & Flu, grab some warm tea, turn on some Netflix and snuggle in bed with my little heater box (my 2-year-old). He doesn’t really seem to mind days like these which is a BIG help. He grabs a few little toys and snuggles right in to watch his favorite shows.
I know I may not have the energy to be up running around with him, but with Robitussin® and a little rest, it help me to feel better faster and get back to having epic superhero battles, or whatever else the day might hold for me.

It’s almost time for school! A little less than a month to go, so what does that mean? Back to School shopping! As my boys get older it seems like they have more and more to carry and my oldest has taken to carrying his binder while everything else is in his back pack…But this year, with a little help from Mead FiveStar®, he can fit EVERYTHING in his backpack!
The Five Star® Expandable Backpack has a front pocket and main compartments creating seven inches of extra storage that every student can use. It has comfortable, ergonomic straps that distribute weight, allowing all those heavy books to be carried easily. The Expandable Backpack also features an extra-large main compartment to easily accommodate all your school supplies. There is a separate padded laptop compartment as well.
But that’s not all! My 5th grader can easily carry and organize (finally) his school work in their FiveStar® 2″ Zipper Binder!
The FiveStar® 2” Zipper Binder has an expandable compartment allowing for quick textbook access and storage, while the stretchable bands allow for more storage when it’s needed and less when it isn’t (zips back up!). For enhanced portability, the Five Star® 2” Zipper Binder + Expandable Pocket features an adjustable strap that gives students the option of either carrying the binder on their back or messenger style. It also has a softly-lined, padded pocket for a tablet.
We have many Mead FiveStar® products in our house, but these are by far the most useful and the “coolest!”
The FiveStar® Twitter account, @MeadFiveStar, will be hosting a Twitter Chat for fans tomorrow, August 4, 2015 from 3-4 p.m. Several prize packs containing Mead FiveStar® school supplies will be given away during the hour. Anyone who uses the hashtag #FiveStarBTS will be entered.

But, with care, driving in the wintertime doesn’t have to be scary or dangerous. You don’t just have to survive. You could actually learn to love it. Here are some tips to help you.
Get Your Car Serviced
Service is more important in winter than at any other time. A full car service will check and top up fluid levels, check for engine issues, and look at your tires. It will also check all of your drive systems and brakes. After the service, you should know that your car is safe on the road. If there is anything wrong, or anything comes up during the winter, get it fixed as soon as you can.
Protect It
One thing that you might worry about in the winter is the weather damaging your car. You might worry about scratches from harsh weather, or chips from stone when you drive through mud. A ceramic coating can help to keep your vehicle clean in bad weather, and even protect it from some scratches and other damage.
You can also protect your tires, by swapping to winter options and adding mudguards.
Wrap Up Warm
Driving in winter doesn’t have to be uncomfortable. If you don’t like driving in big winter coats, just make sure you’ve got them, and other layers to hand for when you need to leave the car, or just in case you are forced to stop for any reason.
Pack Supplies
You might also want to pack other supplies, such as waterproofs, blankets, water, a thermos, and maps. Just in case you break down or get lost at any point.
Keep Your Car Clean
Cleaning your car might seem like such a small thing, that barely matters. But, driving a clean vehicle can actually keep you safer on the road. When your car is clean, you feel more confident driving, and other road users see you as someone who looks after and values your vehicle. This might be enough for them to be more careful around you, and give you more space.
Take Your Time
We should all be driving more carefully in winter when the roads are more hazardous. This means that you’ll need to give yourself more time for even shorter journeys. While you are driving, you should also give yourself more time and space on the road, helping you to avoid mistakes or slips.
Plan Your Routes
Take a look at an online map before you start a journey. Judge how the weather is affecting traffic and look for any signs of hazards or road closures. Plan your routes accordingly.

My boys are completely addicted to music. They all enjoy listening to it…you can catch them most of the time with the radio or headphones on. They also love to play music. They have guitars, drums, keyboard & a violin. So it’s no wonder one of their favorite games is Guitar Hero. They were super excited when they heard a new Guitar Hero was coming out, and even more excited when it arrived!
Guitar Hero Live introduces a revolutionary new take on the music rhythm genre, delivering a console-quality experience on Apple TV with its two game modes: GH Live and GHTV. GH Live, a first-person perspective, live-action experience, delivers the full emotional roller coaster of being on stage and performing in a real band in front of real crowds that dynamically react to how well you play. GHTV, the world’s first playable music video network, is a 24-hour game mode that lets fans play along to a continually-updated collection of official music videos, across a wide variety of genres. GHTV launched with more than 200 songs, with over 70 new songs to be added by the end of the year at no extra cost beyond the price of the game.
The controls on the new guitar are laid out differently than the one we previously had, so it’s taking them a little bit to get the hang of the finger movements.
Two rows of first three frets
Playing in GH Live is a total rush…my son was a little freaked out about playing in a cage at a venue…yea, he’s never seen anything like that before..so it was different for him. My husband even loves to get in on the action and is looking forward to getting to play every track in HGTV.
Guitar Hero Live Black Friday Special
Best Buy is offering Guitar Hero Live at special Black Friday price of $69.99 ($30 off MSRP) starting now! With the purchase of the game, shoppers will also receive a free USB mic that can be used to sing along with the guitarist.
New Songs Being Added 11/25
It’s that time of year when Activision invites all Guitar Hero Live shredders to come together to indulge in a huge new collection of music added in GHTV! Starting Wednesday, November 25, Guitar Hero Live will receive 28 new playable tracks, which will drop directly into the GHTV on-demand list. In addition, six new tracks will also be dropped into the GHTV Premium Shows, bringing the total track list to 300 songs across both GH Live and GHTV.
