Unfortunately, I have neither the time or the money to run off to Comic-Con...so I miss out on all the fun every year. However, Disney just sent me a bunch of stuff that went on at the Star Wars: The Force Awakens panel. Fans at San Diego Comic-Con’s Hall H were treated to a special look behind the scenes of STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS by Director J.J. Abrams, Producer and Lucasfilm President Kathleen Kennedy and Writer Lawrence Kasdan. The filmmakers were joined on stage by cast members Daisy Ridley, John Boyega, Adam Driver, Oscar Isaac, Domhnall Gleeson, Gwendoline Christie, Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher and Harrison Ford to the surprise and delight of fans. At the end of the Hall H presentation, the entire Hall H audience of more than 6,000 fans were all invited to continue the celebration and join cast and filmmakers at a surprise Star Wars Fan Concert. The San Diego Symphony performed the classic Star Wars music from John Williams at the Embarcadero Marina Park South. ...

Product Review – All Natural Shoe Odor Eliminator
A few weeks ago, I was asked to try out the All Natural Shoe Odor Eliminator from Amare Terra. It’s made from all natural ingredients & has a lemon mint scent. The company has a 100% satisfaction guarantee or you’ll get your money back. They also donate 9% of each purchase to build clean water wells. I’ll admit that my tennis shoes stink, especially after running around in them all day in the Texas heat. I used to use odor fighting powder & insoles, but gave up in them long ago because they never really worked. I was curious about the spray to see if it worked, but I didn’t really expect it to. However, I was pretty surprised at the results. I just got a new pair of shoes, so I decided to test the spray out on my old pair. I used two sprays in each shoe: one aimed down into the toe end & one aimed at the heal end. You can smell the lemon and mint right away, and it’s very pleasant while not being overpowering. It definitely covered the smell, but I did notice that ...
Tips for Attic Renovation
With an attic renovation, you can add valuable space to your home. However, like most projects, there are several things to consider before beginning this tedious project. By following these tips, you can make your attic an enjoyable place to live. Before purchasing your first piece of lumber, consider city codes and the safety of your home. In some towns, permits are required before renovating an attic space. While codes vary from town to town, most require that the ceiling be at least seven feet tall in half of the room. Once you ensure that the area passes any necessary codes,hire an engineer. The engineer can inspect your homes foundation making sure that it can handle the extra weight. Now that your home as passed all inspections, the fun of remodeling can begin. Since the room will draw lots of heat, consider installing a ceiling fan. Not only will the ceiling fan give you a nice breeze during those hot summer months, but it can also draw heat into the space in the winter. ...
Product Review – Dr. Frederick’s Original Bunion Pad & Spacer Kit
A few weeks back, I was asked to try out and review Dr. Frederick's Original Bunion Pad & Spacer Kit. The kit comes with 4 pairs of cushions; the Standard Shield Spacer, Standard Spacer, Sport Shield Spacer, & the Sport Spacer. They are made from super soft flexible gel & go between your big toe and the second toe. Each set comes in its own resalable bag & comes with a card that tells you what each set is and pics to show you how to wear them. All of them can be worn with or without shoes, and the double looped spaces are designed to keep the spaces from slipping while you’re running. I’ve tried all of them on and they are very soft & comfortable to wear. It takes a little while to get used to wearing them. My left foot doesn’t really need to shield, but needs the spacer since my toes are more squished together than they should be…so I wear the standard spacer or sport spacer. My right foot doesn’t need the spacer as much as the shield, so I usually switch ...
Book Review – Courage and Other Demons by Jill Daugherty
Courage and Other Demons by Jill Daugherty is a young-adult urban fantasy, & is the first book in a series. Maggie O’Neill is just a regular girl living in the suburbs of Denver, until Simon Brady moves to town from Ireland. He’s nice, funny, and handsome. He excites her in a way no one ever has. He’s also a faery (something that Maggie has believed only exists in kids’ books) & his world brings danger not just to Maggie, but every human on Earth. As her world is turned upside down, Maggie has a choice to make: fight to save everyone or be killed. When I was first contacted about reviewing this book, I thought it was a very interesting premise and was eager to read the book. I was not disappointed. The story is very well written, flows well, and the characters are well rounded & developed well through the story. The fantasy is woven in perfectly & doesn’t feel forced. Maggie’s character is very believable to me and reacted the way anybody would when tossed into ...
