High Strung in Theaters April 8th

This post is sponsored, all opinions are my own.

When it comes to movies, I enjoy not only seeking out ones to watch with the whole family, but also ones that I can watch with my husband. I have found that when it comes to finding movies to watch on mine and my husband's date night, I like to find ones that we can both enjoy. So when I was given the chance to stream the screener of the new movie, High Strung, I was excited to add it to my list of great date night movies to go and see!



With the movie High Strung, you find a story where music is art and more than just a passion, but a part of life. You find two people, who both find music engraved in their souls where the beat comes naturally and is a part of their lives. The thing is, with the two, even though they share a passion of music, they are two very different people, and find that they must come together so they can both achieve their goals.

Both are very talented and see their talent as more than just a talent, but a part of who they are. You have Ruby who is a dancer, who has classical taste and lives in what some might see as a bubble. She is a girl from the Midwest trying to find her way in New York City. Then you have the street artist, Johnny, who is also very talented and lives his life day to day, playing for money in the streets of New York City.

The two cross paths and are forced to find a way to work together when they have to compete in a Hip Hop battle. They find that even though they come from two separate worlds, they have a likeness for the passions they both have for music and how it moves them. They must come together, work out their differences, and become a team so that they can achieve the goals they have set for themselves, all while trying to keep Ruby from loosing her scholarship and Johnny from being deported from the country.

I found this movie to be a great one filled with dance and music, as well as a story of intrigue and a romance that blossoms from the most unlikely of a pair! Making High Strung not only one that I have added to my list of must sees for date night with the hubs, but also one that I know my daughter and I can enjoy seeing together as well! You can enjoy High Strung as well when it hits theaters on April 8th!

#Giveaway PicturesOnGold.com Mother’s Day SS Heart Locket (ARV $124.95)

Mothers Day is coming up, and like many when it comes to finding those gifts to give mom, I like to find those gifts that are something she will really enjoy having. When I think of my mom, I think of the things she has enjoyed receiving in previous years, and one thing that seems to always be a sure thing with her is jewelry. So when we were given the chance to review a customized locket from PicturesOnGold.com, I was not only excited to create a customized locket that is a great sentimental gift to give mom this year, but I was also excited to create and order the locket from my phone!

The ordering process was very simple and I liked that I was able to not only go through the steps but also preview my design as I went along.

I found that I was able to first pick out the locket I wanted to go with, pick out a clip art from the Mothers Day selection, add the photos I wanted on the inside, then even personalize the back of the locket! And once I had that done, I was also able to choose the chain I needed as well.

Then when I was done with the designing, I not only had the chance to review the design as I went along, but I also liked that I could review the design one last time before placing my order, all from my phone! Making the choice to make Mothers Day extra special by customizing a locket from PicturesOnGold.com a great choice when it comes to finding that perfect gift to get mom this year! And to help with your Mothers Day shopping, the wonderful people from PicturesOnGold.com would like to give one of my amazing readers their own customized photo locket a $124.95 value!!!!

Hair Straightening Made Easy with the Dafni Brush

Living in the PNW, we find that there is a lot of humidity. This humidity is something that is quite new to us after coming from the Texas Panhandle, and with my daughter who has curly hair, the humidity can really do a number on her hair. So when we were sent the Dafni Brush to review, we were not only excited to use it as a daily hair straightener for my own use, but also use it to help straighten my daughters hair as well as fight the frizz!

First off, I like that after we plug it in, it heats up fairly fast, allowing us to get our hair started with the straightening a lot faster. I also like that with the brush design, it helps my daughter to straighten her hair and also reduce the frizz that she gets as well, easier than the flat iron straighteners we have. With the time saving aspect, I like that it not only heats up quickly, but with the brush motion, it helps us to get through our hair and straighten from front to back a lot faster than with other straighteners. And when I say quicker I mean it, like only a about a 5 minute straightening time even with my daughters thick curly hair! It is simple when it comes to how you use it, by plugging it in, then using it like a brush on dry brushed hair.



When it comes to the various hair lengths and textures, I like that with my hair and my daughters hair being complete opposites, we can both use the Dafni Brush when we are getting ready in the mornings. I can also allow my daughter to do her hair without having to worry about her missing the back part, or getting burned with the edges of the iron since it is just like brushing the hair! Then when it comes to the difference in the heat needed, I like that we can get our hair straightened at the 365 degrees it is set at and not only get our hair done faster but also do it without damaging it like you can with a flat iron! Making the Dafni Brush a must have not only for any home when it comes to hair straightening but also a great gift to get mom this year for Mothers Day!
