Hey there.  Have you ever had the late night munchies?  I know I have and they tend to happen when the wife and I are out at a party.  We eat, we talk, and we dance the night away.  After several hours of having a great time, those late night munchies come knocking!  There have been instances where we leave a party past midnight yearning for a quick late night meal and have come up empty.  We could stop and dine in at a 24 hour restaurant but that defeats the purpose of a "quick" meal.  I want something quick, I want something good, I want something that won't cost me more than a few bucks and fill me up right.  And you know what...  I think I found it!  Check out Jacks Munchie Meals!

Can Am Commander Suspension and Lift Kits

Hell yeah!  Tackle the great outdoors with this awesome UTV!

The Can Am Commander has taken a back seat to the excitement stirred up by the Maverick and Maverick Max for most of 2013. Still, the Commander remains one of the most popular UTV models that is equally comfortable on a farm or ranch, or tearing up the dunes, local mud hole or just exploring the woods. Unfortunately, the stock ride height is not always adequate to meet all of these needs. Rock climbing and mudding in particular usually require 14-16 inches of total ground clearance and 28-30” tires. Fortunately, the aftermarket has aggressively pursued some solutions, and the chassis of the Commander is easily modified to meet these needs.

Micro Touch One Razor Review

The Micro Touch One Razor and it's carrying case

Hey there.  How many of you guys have found a razor that gives you a close shave and doesn't hurt?  I'm pretty that's not many of you.  The multi blade razors that are out on the market do a great job at first but after a few shaves, they start to pull on your hair.  And you know what... it SUCKS!  It's one of the main reasons why I hold off to the last possible minute to shave.  Even though I have a great hair softener and shaving gel, if the razor is just not up to par, your shaving experience will not be a pleasant one.  That's why when our good friends at Micro Touch One decided to send me a Micro Touch One Razor to try out and review, I was not too thrilled about having to go through a shaving experience with a new razor.  Especially one that is NOT multi blade.  Even though I came into this experience with a bit of unease, I came out simply loving the Micro Touch One Razor.  Let me tell you why.

Anker Wireless Bluetooth 4.0 Headset with Charging Dock Review

I love the design of the Anker Wireless Bluetooth headset and charging dock.

Hey there. I live in sunny California and I spent a lot of time in traffic.  And I mean A LOT!  If any of you have ever had the experience of driving on the freeways around Los Angeles, you'll know that you could be in for a long car ride.  One of the biggest no nos of the road out here is that you can not be caught with a cell phone in your hand.  It doesn't matter if you were using your phone's GPS system.  If a police officer finds you with a cell phone in your hand, you will be ticketed.  Trust me... I should know.  You could always have your phone in speaker mode or turn on the "car mode" on your phone, but that still means you need to touch it and risk being ticketed.  Well, worry no more, friends!  Our good friends at Anker provided me with an Anker Wireless Bluetooth 4.0 Headset with Charging Dock to try out and review and let me tell you, it's fantastic!  It's small, it's sleek, it's stylish, and IT WORKS BEAUTIFULLY.  Before I get into my experience with this wireless headset, let's get some of the technical details out of the way.

RAVPower Dynamo On The Go Power Bank Review

Hey there.  Who here has a mobile device?  You know... a tablet or a smart phone.  In this day and age, just about every one and their grandma has one.  I'm guilty of owning several devices!  I have a Kindle Fire, a few iPods, and a few smart phones in our household.  And you know what... it can be a pain to have to charge all the devices at once.  Our "charging station" is full of adapters and chargers that it's not even funny.  Anyways, when your family is as dependant on mobile devices as mine is, the last thing you want to see is "low battery" on any of them.  And you knowwhat... it happens a lot!  The kids are listening to music or watching videos on thier iPods, the wife is pinning away on the Kindle Fire, and I'm checking in on sports on the phone.  With the heavy usage that we put into our devices, it's bound to happen.  But you know what... it sucks when it does.  That usually means you have to stop doing what you are doing and go to the "charging station."  In our family, that means you're stuck in a corner, attached to a wall charger and that's no fun.  But that's about to change now.  Our good friends over at RAVPower provided me with a RAV Power Dynamo on the Go Power Bank to try out and review!  It's an external battery where you can charge your mobile devices without having to be confined to a wall outlet.  I've had the pleasure of trying out and testing the Dynamo on the Go Power Bank for the past week and I am now ready to let you guys know how awesome it is. Let's get to it!

Keep Your Body Dry with Gold Bond No Mess Powder Spray

I participated in a campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for Gold Bond. I received product samples and a promotional item as a thank you for participating. 

Hey there. Summers can be pretty hot here in Southern California. Temperatures regularly hit 90 degrees and that can lead to some pretty sweaty bodies walking around.  Even though many of us can hit the beach or walk around an air conditioned mall, many others are stuff inside offices and being sweaty at the work place is just not recommended.  See, I work in an office and for the most part, the air conditioner keeps us cool.  But there has been times where it breaks down and we are stuck in the sweltering heat.  I've gotten into the habit of sprinkling some Gold Bond foot powder spray in my shoes to keep them dry.  Last thing I want to have is moist feet where fungus and bacteria can grow.  But the problem that I had with the powder is that it's kind of messy.  Sometimes I sprinkle too much and it gets all over the rug.  Sometimes it gets all over the outside of my shoe so I'll have to spend some time cleaning it up.  Well, now I don't have the messy problem anymore.  Our good friends at Dad Central and Gold Bond have provided me with the Gold Bond No Mess Powder Spray to try out and let me tell you, this is replacing the standard powder.

It's pretty damn cool and I was soooooo disappointed when I was not able to score tickets to see it live when the symphony was in Los Angeles. I love The Legend of Zelda series and I indulge in classical music from time to time so to have The Legend of Zelda: Symphony of the Goddesses come to town, I just needed to be there! *sigh* But it wasn't meant to be... But you know what... THEY'RE BACK! Another tour will be starting soon and Nintendo is inviting fans to be a part of the symphony's tour! How? By submitting The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD fan art! Nintendo plans on kicking off a contest later today on the  Nintendo Facebook page where you can submit your fan art. 5 winners will win a Wii-U console as well as The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD game. But that's not all, friends! On Sept. 12th, the 5 winners (as well as the top 50 finalists) will have their art displayed at the lobby of the venue where The Symphony of the Goddesses is playing! How awesome is that?!

What I'm Playing... Bioshock Infinite Clash in the Clouds

Hey there. I haven't had one of these posts in a while. Sorry. I've been so caught up in so many things that some things slip my mind and before I know it, the week's over. Anyways, ever since the latest DLC for Bioshock Infinite was released, I've been playing Clash in the Clouds non stop. For those of you that are not familiar with the DLC, it's similar to a battle arena where Booker and Elizabeth take on several enemies at once. It may not sound like much at first, but it's the challenge behind the Blue Ribbon challenges that have really captivated me. Sure, I can get through the 60 waves of enemies without a hitch, if I just run and blast my way through enemies. But that's not the point of Clash in the Clouds. The Blue Ribbon challenges is where it's at! Challenges like, "Defeat each enemy with a different vigor." Not bad, right? Oh... but your enemies are 2 HandyMans and a Motorized Patriot. Yeah, good luck. lol  Also, I love that some of the Blue Ribbon challenges are creative too. "Defeat a Handyman while he's charging the sky lines." "Defeat the Siren before she raises the dead." I simply live for a challenge and right now I'm enthralled into this fight and giving it my all.

In a World... Movie Poster Autographed by Lake Bell Giveaway

Hey there.  How many times have you heard a movie trailer start with, "In a world..."?  I'm pretty sure it's about 99% of them.  lol  That phrase is so popular that even I use it when I'm making up a goofy story and tell it to my kids.  It's such a well known phrase that it is now the subject of it's own movie! You can catch the film, In a World... in theaters Aug 16th!  So what's the movie about it, you say?  Well, here's a brief synopsis:

Purchase Couch Rebels and Help Give Water to African Communities in Need

Hey there.  Can you imagine a life without water?  We use water for soooooo many things.  We bathe in it, water our grass, clean the dishes, and most importantly, we drink it.  What if I were to tell you that there are many nations out there that do not have the water to drink?  Feels horrible, no?  We are fortunate enough to have water but let's be honest, not many people do.  That's why I love what the guys at CausePub and Blood: Water Mission are doing.  They have written a book that will go on sale tomorrow and the proceeds will go to help bring clean, fresh water to African comminities that need it.  How awesome is that?!  The book is called Couch Rebels and it is a collection of stories from people who had experiences that were outside of their comfort zone and how those expreiences changed them for the best.  An inspirational book for a worthy cause.
