The dance floor can be intimidating, even for the most confident people. But for men who can’t dance, it’s absolutely daunting and quite embarrassing!  Whether it be at a wedding or at a Saturday night party, it’s important for men to hop off the wall and ‘mingle with moves’ without the embarrassment.

After experiencing the awkward stares and a few comments from women about his dancing, Nick Taylor, a young and single socialite, partnered with a New York-based choreographer, Ben Watson, to come up with a solution to end dance floor embarrassment for men of all ages – Dance Floor Arsenal.

An e-book created for men by men, Dance Floor Arsenal is a complete education system designed to teach men dance floor basics in two weeks or less.  The tutorial package comes with a full-length guidebook and over 20 video lessons led by professional men’s dance instructor, Ben Watson, all for the price of one professional dance lesson ($29.99).

I received a free code to check out this program and  I did find it a fun an easy way to learn to dance. I think that most would find it quite easy to follow.

The holidays are approaching! First we have the Fall holidays and then Christmas will be here before we know it! We are starting to have some Fall weather and cooler nights. One of my favorite things to do during the Fall and Winter is drink Chai Teas. Good Earth really is one of my favorites so I was quite excited to receive the following Chai Tea samples: Starry Chai, Sweet Chai of mine and Wild Chaild. It was difficult to try to figure out which one was my favorite but I was ale to decide! Starry Chai is a delicious blend with a hint of cherry and Sweet Chai of mine has a hint of maple. So good! But, I have to say my favorite is Wild Chaild! This one has the delicious chai spices and a yummy smooth caramel flavor! It really is my new favorite tea for the holidays!

Do you have a son or daughter away at College? Simple Sheets would make a great gift!

College students only change their sheets 3x per year. You might think they’re just lazy, but in a dorm room, the bed’s height and position along a wall make changing the fitted sheet virtually impossible. Rather than enduring a strenuous balancing act to change their sheets, students sleep on filthy sheets for months on end. This is both gross and unhygienic, as dirty sheets are incubators for dust mites, bed bugs, and a host of allergy inducing particles.

Meet Simple Sheets – an innovative product that makes changing the bed a breeze. Simple Sheets feature a uniquely designed, two-piece fitted sheet, which includes a base fitted sheet and a Strip Sheet. The Strip Sheet is connected to the base fitted sheet by Velcro and is easily removed for washing. Each set also includes a convenient side pocket – perfect for storing a cell phone or remote at arms’ reach. Simple Sheets make changing the bed hassle-free, saving college students valuable time and giving their mothers peace of mind.

Now, how cool do these sound?! Pretty cool, if you ask me! I received samples and these really do make changing bed sheets so much easier! The convenient side pocket  is pretty ingenious too! I know a few family members who would love this!  A set includes: Base Fitted Sheet, Strip Sheet, Pillow Case, Flat Sheet and a Storage Pocket.  Size: Twin XL and Standard size fits a standard College Mattress 80″ x 36″ x 10″ and the sheets are available in white.  I also like that they are non-shrink, Hypoallergenic and wrinkle-free. The price is $59.99 for Basic: One of everything & $89.99 for Uber: Two of everything (except the base fitted-sheet).

What a great gift a set of Simple Sheets would make for a College student!

The best thing about the Ozeri Electric Wine Opener is that it is so easy to use! I have tried other Wine Bottle Openers in the past and they seemed to be a lot more difficult! This one really is so simple! I mean there really is only 4 very simple steps (like the box shows). You use the included foil cutter to remove the seal, then use a simple push-down button to remove the cork and a simple push-up button releases the cork. There really isn’t 4 steps..since step 4 is not really a step! Wine is ready to be poured! I did notice that it does work best in an upright position. I also like that it is modern and stylish looking and it will make a great holiday gift! It doesn’t take up much room at all. The Bonus Aerating Pourer is also a nice touch! This is a Must-Have for all Wine lovers and really would make a great holiday gift.
