5 reasons to use hemp hearts #hemphearts #sweatpink

10/30/2014

After attending a few natural and organic conferences and events I have learned a lot about hemp hearts, so when I got the opportunity to review the product I was super happy. I have had a few samples before and maybe because of they way the package looks, my first idea was to use them for my oatmeal, which they taste great at, but I wanted to learn more about them and see what other recipes you can uses them for.

What are hemp hearts?

Hemp Hearts are the center of the hemp.Hemp hearts are a great source of healthy fats and they are low in carbohydrates and high in fiber. Just one serving (30g or about 3 Tbls) provides 10 grams of Omegas 3 and 6, 3g of carbs, 3g of fiber, 10g of protein, and a good amount of magnesium.

It is important to clarify that Hemp is not the same that Marijuana, it is not a drug. Hemp is great for cooking and it gives great flavor to almost everything you put in on.

Here are 5 reasons you should be using Hemp hearts:

1. They taste good and add flavor to other foods: Hemp Hearts are great not only on their own, but they are aslo great when you add them to other foods. What type of foods? Well pretty much everything. You can add them to smoothies, pancakes, even you meatloaf. They will help with the consistency and the flavor as well

2. They are easy to use: just mix them in with your favorite recipe to blend or sprinkle them in a salad, smoothie or anything else. No extra time for cooking, no preparation, it is simple, just add them to whatever you want.

3. They are NON-GMO: no chemicals in your body.

4. They are nutritious: great source of Omegas for your heart and high in fiber too.

5. They are vegan and hypoallergenic. Ideal for kids recipes too.

Random Acts of Helpfulness: LA Galaxy and Local Charities

Disclosure: The opinions in this article are my own. I do not work for, or with, any brand mentioned in this article, nor do I have any official relationship with them. I have a relationship with HelpFul Honda, for whom I create original editorial content

Last weekend the family took a trip to the StubHub center to watch LA Galaxy play against Seattle. We got great seats, thanks to the helpful guys in blue. Did you know that Honda Owners can possibly score seat upgrades the next time they watch a LA Galaxy Game because the guys on blue choose up to four fans per game for random seat upgrades. This is part of the Helpful Honda's Random Acts of Helpfulness. But the helpful guys do not stop there.

What else are the helpful guys in blue doing?

SoCal Honda is offering seat upgrade promotions: 4 fans are surprised with SoCal Honda shirts and the ability to watch warm-ups from the field of play and they are also upgraded to exclusive club seats.
SoCal Honda is setting up a 6 clinic series for under-serviced areas around LA. The helpul Honda guys in blue will help out the participants during practice sessions and provide them with water.
Set up of 6 soccer clinics, SCHDA also sponsors 6 community service series events this fall. Kids can donate an item (perishable food, school supplies, clothing, etc.) as an entry fee into a free soccer clinic hosted by the Galaxy. The helpful guys in Blue will be assisting with donations/registration/water distribution/etc.
The “Pass It Forward” promotion is a community-based initiative where fans and members of the community can support the LA Galaxy team and help raise awareness for charities. Participants can win tickets to games and one lucky grand prize winner will receive a VIP experience package, which includes private access to Galaxy training session and the opportunity to meet a player. For more information visit

It was a very good game. LA Galaxy did not win, but the game ended tied. We had a great time. I love opportunities like this to teach my son all about soccer and of course have a family outing with great food as well. I am looking forward for our next game.

It is almost time for Knott’s Merry Farm #MerryFarm

It is almost hard to believe that Christmas is just around the corner. One of the most magical times of the year and a perfect time to celebrate with families at Knott's Berry Farm because the park transforms into this cute place with Santa's Cabin and an awesome ice-skating show among other things.

Although right now we are still celebrating Scary Farm (you should go before is over), it is time to start planning a visit during the holidays. We usually have so much fun that not even the rain stop us from going and having a great time. We had a great time last year at Merry Farm and I am planning already our visit because how can you not visit time during the most magical time of the year?

There are lots of things to do during the Christmas time at Knott's Berry Farm, but this are our family favorites

1. Merry Christmas, Snoopy ice-skating show. We love Snoopy and we love ice-skating shows, and when you combine both with great holiday music, you have the perfect combination

2. How can you go wrong with a live performance of Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol or O. Henry’s A Gift of the Magi in an intimate setting of the historic Bird Cage Theatre? Fun and entertaining with a few laughs here and there.

3. Calico Carolers because we love Christmas Carols.

4. Santa’s Christmas Cabin because you can enjoy wine, holiday treats such as cookies, eggnog and a very cute picture with Santa.

5. Christmas Crafts Village we love all the crafts, decorations and little gifts we can buy for family and friends.

6. Christmas on Engine 41 you can ride the vintage rail car and meet an ever-changing group of Ghost Town residents eager to share their Christmas plans and songs with you.

If you want to learn more about rides and what to do during Merry Farm, and if you want to buy season passes so you can visit one time in 2014 and get 2015 unlimited visits, you should visit Knott’s page

Hello Kitty is turning 40 and I am celebrating with a Hello Kitty toothbrush and mouth rinse

10/18/2014

A couple of weeks ago I was offered some Hello Kitty products to review. Although I do not have a daughter, I accepted to review the products, because it is not secret that I love Hello Kitty and I am so exciting about attending Hello Kitty Con at the end of this month.

I got a care-package with two products to review: The Firefly Hello Kitty Ready Go Brush and the Firefly Hello Kitty Anticavity Mouth Rinse. First let me tell you that the packaging is so cute it was hard to finally open them. I though maybe I keep the packaged because they will be awesome collectibles one day. However, I knew all the parents with Hello Kitty kids out there probably want to know if the products work, so I finally decided to open them.

Firefly Hello Kitty Ready Go Brush

This is pretty cool toothbrush because it will help little ones to know for how long they have to brush their teeth. Once you put toothpaste you push the button on the handle and start brushing. At that moment the countdown begins. The light starts out green then goes to yellow and finally turns red. That is the indication that the brushing can stop. You kids will just go move their toothbrush up and down for a few seconds and think they are done, but with this cool timer, the kids will be brushing for the time that is recommended.

Firefly Hello Kitty Anticavity Mouth Rinse

How cute is this container? When I finish the mouthwash I am going to find an use of it. It also has a great flavor because it is not to strong and kids will actually like it. All I can think now is where were this products when I was a kid?

If you would like more information about this products and also products available for boys, please visit the FireFly page
