Motivational Monday-Jim McIngvale's Gallery Furniture

Last year I attended Blog Elevated 2013, I had so much fun with all the attendees here in Houston.  One of the fun things we got to do was enter raffles to win different prizes.  One of those raffles was a gift certificate to Gallery Furniture, and I was a lucky winner.

So we headed to Gallery Furniture to see what we could find.  We did not know an adventure awaited us inside.

-An indoor playground for the kiddos
-monkeys
-Exotic birds greet you outside and inside the store in a cages
-Sports Memorabilia and many interesting items on display-like the biggest chair
-Fresh baked cookies
-fresh pop corn
-ice cream
-water
-food

It is a wonderful shopping experience.  You can get lost and spend the day in there.  We did not know exactly what we were looking for and of course I fell in love with so much.  The deals were all great but I was looking for something to pop right out at me.  I had no worries about the kids being unhappy with a trip to the furniture store since we had all of the above, even we the adults were content.  After walking around several times, I finally found what I did know I wanted to buy.  It was off in a room I had totally missed, this place is huge.  It was marked down and in our budget.  Sold!  But my story does not end there, the real story is the man behind the crazy commercial.  Mattress Mac, Jim McIngvale is the guy who made all this happen.  I met him for the first time when I was in 5th grade and I will never forget it.  He told us a monkey story that I did forget but since then he has inspired me and continues to inspire me.  See this guy does so much for our community.

He is a philanthropist, donating money for scholarships, needy families, disaster relief, and supports our military.  I personally remember going to his store as a single parent.  He hosted a giveaway at Christmas time for families, and each kid got a toy.  The kids in line were so happy and grateful.  And so was I.  I had nothing to give my son at the time but Jim gave him something.  This guy is great.  Even after a 4 alarm fire destroyed his store, he rebuilt.  This past February, he gave away furniture after several customers picked the winning team.  There are always great deals in his store and of course great furniture.  But the man behind the story is what is the real story!

Skincare Sunday-Johnson's Reformulation

A couple of months ago I got to make a trip to NYC to visit with the JOHNSON'S^® Baby Brand Team.  Thanks to their invitation I got to visit the big apple for the first time, if you missed it read all about it here. 

Recently they completed a global reformulation of JOHNSON’S^® Baby products to remove certain preservatives. The reformulated products have been rolling out globally since early 2013.  But what does that mean exactly?  To me it means that they continue to back up their promise.  It’s also why they continue re-evaluating ingredients to be responsive to the latest scientific developments and to our feedback.  So they are always listening.  That is what I got to see in my experience on my trip.

I got to talk to the scientists.  And they explained the science behind the big words they use, the terminology on the back of packages, and discussed the facts about the reformulation.

  

-No ingredients were removed due to safety concerns.

I was glad to hear this but even happier to see the real product not be affected by the change.  

This is a product we use at home.  I use this on my family.  We have been using this brand for many years, and will continue using this brand. 

Did you know these products are formulated to work for a certain amount of time?  This is for those that stock pile.  I did not realize that the ingredients use in the products may separate after sitting our our shelves over 2 years.  I checked all my bottles when I got home, check your dates on your products.

Johnsons is not only living a green footprint on our planet by the changes they are making, but they are using they resources to help all around the world.

They are creating a healthier world, one community at a time.  They support many programs, Baby Cares, that save and improve the lives of women and children.  They are helping get education out to prevent disease in vulnerable populations.  So many programs that continue to help all over.

All mothers want better for their children, and that motherly heart makes us want to help all children. 

Do you have a Johnsons baby?

 While in NYC, we had the opportunity to walk on the set of the Today Show and Orange Room. 

Have you heard of the TODAY JOHNSON'S® Baby of the Week?  Share the precious cutey, ans they could become the TODAY JOHNSON'S® Baby of the Week!  TODAY picks a handful of baby photos every week to feature on Kathie Lee and Hoda and online. Families whose babies are featured on air receive a JOHNSON’S® Baby gift basket and a $50 CVS/Pharmacy® Gift Card courtesy of JOHNSON’S® Baby — those 15 minutes of fame from birth-lol! Good Luck!

The Pirate Fairy Movie Review

***Disclosure-My family was invited to a special screening.  Any opinions stated are based on our own experience.

Do you have any fairies in your house?  Any kiddos that love the adventures of Tinker and the fairies?  Well did you kinow the fairies have a new adventure, The Pirate Fairy.


Trailer - The Pirate Fairy on Disney Video
From the world of “Peter Pan” comes “The Pirate Fairy,” a swashbucklingnew adventure about Zarina (voice of Christina Hendricks), a smart and ambitious dust-keeper fairy who’s captivated by Blue Pixie Dust and its endless possibilities. When Zarina’s wild ideas get her into trouble, she flees Pixie Hollow and joins forces with the scheming pirates of Skull Rock, who make her captain of their ship. Tinker Bell (voice of Mae Whitman) and her friends must embark on an epic adventure to find Zarina, and together they go sword-to-sword with the band of pirates led by a cabin boy named James (voice of Tom Hiddleston), who’ll soon be known as Captain Hook himself. With laughter, heart, magic and thrills, “The Pirate Fairy” sets sail April 1, 2014.

My daughter did not blink, move, or leave her seat the entire time.  This has been the 1st movie ever that has done that.  She loved this movie.  She loves the fairies.  My husband, son, and I also enjoyed it.  My husband our Lil Bit is a combination of Tinker and the New character Zarina.

We recommend it for the entire family.  Add this to your little ones, Easter baskets.

Makeup Monday-Jennifer Gardner 2014 Oscars

***Disclosure-No compensation was received.  Informational post only.

It is Make up Monday and today's look is Jennifer Gardner at the 2014 Oscars:

 Makeup Artist Fiona Stiles Inspiration:  We were inspired by Jennifer's silver Oscar de la Renta beaded column gown which had a modern flapper feel.  For easy glamour to compliment Jennifer's hair, which was polished but not fussy, we wanted to keep her cosmetic look really modern for a universal feel from head to toe.  I also wanted to play off of her dusty rose burgundy nails for inspiration. - Fiona Stiles
