Rogue One: A Star Wars Story Teaser Trailer #RogueOne #StarWars ⋆ My Sparkling Life

Hubbie works long days on his feet..and with that the biggest complaint I hear is that his feet are tired and achy. Massages and inserts can only go so far and don’t help at all with muscle recovery of pain prevention. I had the opportunity to work with Tommie Copper and opted to try out their socks & put them to the test.
Tommie Copper’s original copper-infused Innergywear™ is the next evolution in performance apparel, empowering you to live a more positive life and achieve balance in heart, mind, body and soul. Tommie Copper was founded in 2010 as a natural solution for reaching peak performance, speeding muscle and joint recovery and finding relief from aches and pains. If one can use Tommie Copper and achieve a more active life, Tommie Copper hopes this positive change will spread to others throughout the world.
On the first day he wore them he said he felt so much better at the end of the day, and didn’t have any complaints of aches & pains! WHAT?! That’s right! No complaints! I got him the longer Tommie Copper Dress Calf Socks..The Jolt Dress Calf Socks keep your feet refreshed and energized throughout the day. These knee-high compression socks help provide pain relief for your feet, ankles, shins, and muscles in your lower legs. Gentle graduated compression helps promote oxygen to the muscles speeding muscle and joint recovery throughout the day and even while asleep. Thin discreet profile is great for work and travel. All Tommie Copper socks feature PRO+IONIC™ copper-infused yarn that eliminates odor for the lifetime of the sock. I love that not only do they help with his pain relief for 4 main areas but they also keep his feet cool and dry with Cool Copper™ technology. The Cool Copper™ technology helps dry skin 5x faster than cotton.

Day 3, The last day at the D23 Expo! It’s bitter-sweet, I know within 24hrs I will see my kids again, get some sleep…yes sleep, we’ve been up till 1 am, and up at 6:30 am..so sleep is on my mind at this point…Yet there is so much more to see or do! It’s All Music And Games today!
Well to start we get to have breakfast and a Q&A with 4 Disney Short Director/Producers!! WALT DISNEY ANIMATION STUDIOS SHORT FILMS COLLECTION which was released 8/18 is an an extraordinary new collection of award-winning and beloved short films including the never-before-released Frozen Fever, starring Frozen’s Anna, Elsa, Olaf, Sven and Kristoff, and the Oscar-nominated Lorenzo.
After breakfast we headed over to the D23 Expo for the final day of panels and shopping the show floor! We started at the It’s Game Time: Disney Interactive Takes the Stage panel.
Free Time! Time to explore some more of the Expo Floor!
Disney In Concert: A Silly Symphony Celebration…this was an amazing panel!! I mean, how often do you get to watch Silly Symphony cartoons/shorts with a live symphony?!
After that epic show, we headed over to the Disney Music Emporium to check out the new Walt Disney Records The Legacy Collection series. This collection includes 12 collectors edition soundtracks from beloved Disney movies that are all celebrating a milestone this year. Walt Disney Records has teamed up with H2O+ in celebration of the release of The Legacy Collection through an empowering #ShareYourLegacy campaign. Read More
Our last free time, it was time to check out a few of the shops to see what goodies I could find & explore more of what the show floor has to offer. The Pod from Marvel’s Guardians Of The Galaxy, Yoda made from Jelly Belly’s, Mini Radiator Springs Replica, and plenty of Disney Infinity 3.0 Fun! Plus, Look, Alex and Ani Bracelets! I stood strong, and didn’t buy anymore, but have several on my list!
“The Tunes Behind the Toons” screening and Q+A panel was our last panel at the D23 Expo. This was a short form documentary that celebrates the power of music in animation. From the silent film days when organists played live accompaniments, to the music within today’s animated features, this documentary traces the origins of cartoon music and its pioneers. We didn’t get to stick around for too much of the Q&A because we had to leave to catch flights.
Once we returned to the hotel, we said goodbye to many of our new friends had some dinner and drinks at the bar and then finally caught my shuttle to the airport at 9:30. My flight wasn’t until 12:50 am PST so it was a good thing I had Mariah from The Simple Parent to sit and talk with until our flights.
Goodbye Selfie
It wasn’t such a long flight from LA to Houston…maybe because I fell asleep right after take off…lol…hey, 4 days of early to rise, late to bed will catch up to you! Then I had a 3 hour layover in Houston…thank goodness it was in one of the smaller terminals so it wasn’t busy and I could just relax and try not to fall asleep. Finally boarded my hour flight to Corpus and guess what…fell asleep again! lol…I made it home around 10:30 am CST. It was a long weekend, but so worth it! I would jump at the chance to do it all over again!
THANK YOU DISNEY & PUBLISISTS (YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE) FOR INVITING ME ON SUCH AN EPIC WEEKEND! HOPE TO SEE YOU AGAIN SOON!

Summer time, the time for lots of fun in the sun. We usually slather on the sunscreen, but do you wear sun glasses..what about your kids? When it comes to protecting your eyes, do you know all the facts? If your like most chances are the answer is NO! Below you will find some facts, what to look for when buying sunglasses, advice on what to do to protect your child’s eyes & 5 Hot Sunglasses for you and your child!
UV radiation endangers an unprotected eye in ways that can lead to vision impairment. Just small amounts of intense UV exposure can cause short-term problems, ranging from irritating to overtly painful. The following symptoms may indicate over-exposure to UV.
Bloodshot Eyes
Swollen Eyes
Hyper-Sensitivity To Light
Infants & Children get 3X the annual adult dose of UV radiation and their eyes are more vulnerable. About 25% of an individuals lifetime exposure to UV radiation happens before the age of 18! If you notice any of the following your child should be taken in for evaluation by their Dr.:
Red Eyes – Skin around the eyes is red and appears to be sunburned
Extreme Sensitivity to light – constantly tearing
Disrupted Sleep – Feeling that eyes are burning, itching, or scratchy
Severe eye pain & spasims of the eye or eye lid
Why is UV eye protection SO important? Over time, the cumulative effects of sunlight can lead to eye diseases and conditions later in life. While some damage can be reversed through surgery, other conditions, like cataracts and macular degeneration, may result in permanent vision loss. It is never too early or too soon to protect your children’s eyes from UV exposure. Now that you know what to look for, what can you do to help your little one and yourself?
Limit outdoor time between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. when the UV radiation is strongest. Sometimes this isn’t an option and thats when a good pair of UVA/UBV Sunglasses come into play!
Have your child wear their UVA/UVB Sunglasses anytime they are outside, sunny or cloudy, the UV rays still come through on cloudy days!
Now you’re probably wondering what to look for when buying sunglasses, you don’t want to waste your money on something that isn’t going to help, right?!
Look for the UVA/UVB Sticker
Shop a credible source, chances are those vendors in the middle of the mall or the sidewalk don’t have true UV protection.
Make sure they are comfortable…you wont wear something that isn’t comfortable, neither will your child!
I LOVE my sunglasses, I love different styles and tints. One of my favorites is the Vestry Sunglasses from Nicole Miller, which I’m sure you’ve seen me sporting in many of my instagram photos! This year I have discovered SUM Company…the glasses are super cool and allow me to have the eye protection I need and the style I crave! I can change the look from solid black to a cool tortoise shell in just a few seconds. 5 Sunglasses You’ll Love:
Okay, you found some great sun glasses your child will love..now, how do I get them to wear them?
Routine, Routine, Routine! Every time you head outdoors put them on, make sure they see you put yours on. Once they feel the difference from direct sun to the sunglasses they will more than likely catch on and leave them on. Don’t be fooled by price! Expensive does not mean better! Plastic sunglasses are inexpensive and come in many colors and styles. Also look for Polycarbonate lenses if your child is rough or into sports they are more able to withstand rough play. Look through the sunglasses before you buy them..see if they distort what your child is looking at, I know I wouldn’t want to walk around in a distorted world! We used Baby BanZ & KidZ BanZ when little man was smaller, because they have a comfortable strap to hold them on his face. Now that he is a little older he loves his stylin sporty Foster Grants. I love the wrap around style so I know it protects his eyes from all angles.
5 Sunglasses Your Child Will Love:
Frequent sunglass use comes with practice. Reinforcing healthy behaviors by making your kids routinely wear sunglasses will help to get them in the habit of protecting their eyes. Set an example by always remembering to wear your own shades.
How often do you or your children wear sunglasses?

It’s been looking and feeling a little like fall around here. The leaves have started to fall and my bulbs are starting to bloom. Cooler weather is on its way! Fall has always been a favorite of mine. I love the cool weather, the muted colors and the scents. Pumpkin Spice is a favorite scent…it just smells like fall. My kids would agree with me, that’s why they love this Pumpkin Spice Slime. It’s a perfect time to sit down and have a little slime fun together, especially on the rainy fall day’s we’re already having.
