The LEGO Movie on Blu-Ray Review

Disclosure - free sample provided.

It is so hot here in Vegas during the Summer.  We like to relax and stay out of the heat sometimes.  What activities do you do indoors to keep your kids entertained?  We love to relax in the afternoon and watch a movie and enjoy some popcorn.  Have you seen The LEGO Movie?  We recently received a blu-ray copy of the movie and my 7 and 9 year old really enjoyed it.  This is a great movie if you and your children love animated movies.  It is also great if you have a child that loves LEGOS!

The Lego Movie Blu-Ray 3D is really impressive.  This would also make a really nice gift for someone that loves the movie.  The blu-ray 3D version includes a DVD, blu-ray disc version, and a blu-ray 3D version.  The 2D disc also has some great special features on it.  My 7 and 9 year old also really liked that there was a little mini LEGO figure that was included in this package.  It makes the movie even more fun.

About the movie. . . 

This movie is the first full feature LEGO movie.  It features Emmet.  He is the main character, and my children fell in love with him.  I honestly did too!  It really is neat to see these mini LEGO figures come to life on the screen.  I don't want to spoil this movie for you if you and your children haven't seen it, so I won't say too much!  However, the movie is about Emmet and saving the world.  It really is a cute story that my children and I could watch over again.  

I would love to hear your thoughts on this movie.  Feel free to leave me a comment and let me know what you think!

Orange Glad - Sweet Box - June Review

Disclosure - free sample provided.

I absolutely love sweets!  Do you?  I want to tell you about Orange Glad.   You have probably seen them featured in a few reviews on my blog before.  What exactly is Orange Glad?  This is a dessert subscription box.  This is perfect for those that have a sweet tooth.  It is a great treat to purchase for yourself, or as a gift for those you know that love sweet treats.  This is a really neat way to give someone a gourmet dessert gift.  

Each Orange Glad subscription box is filled with surprise sweet desserts.  I love this because I never know exactly what will be in it.  My kids absolutely love opening the boxes with me and trying the new items.  Orange Glad offers gourmet, high quality, and hand picked desserts in each box.  They truly go out of their way to introduce you to amazing sweets.  This dessert gift box is really fun!  

We opened our Orange Glad June box and my eyes lit up.  I remember making humantaschen with my mom when I was little.  These are little cookies shaped like triangles and they are usually filled with some kind of jam.  My Orange Glad June box had two of these tasty treats inside.  They were so good.  The dough was flavorful and tender.  I also received a decadent Lucious Lemon Bar that is from the Fine Sconehenge Baking Co.  This lemon bar had a nice gooey texture and the perfect amount of tartness.  We also received a delicious cookie from Cheryl's that my kids gobbled up right away.  I was really intrigued by the Rip van Wafels Amsterdam Wafel.  This is a waffle style cookie that had a cinnamon flavor.  The inside had a caramel between the layers.  Yum!  The last tasty treat in my Orange Glad box was a Salted Caramel Cream cookie from the Cravory.  This cookie had salted caramel, vanilla chips, and sea salt.  It was also excellent.

I received Onzie's Pura Vida Tank Top. This tank is really unique.  It has a criss cross back, and it shows off your back a little.  The tank provides full coverage of your stomach though in the front.  This tank is really cute with a great pair of workout pants or shorts.  I also received a pair of Gypsy Pants from Onzie.  These are a comfortable pair of pants that are mid calf length.  The bottom of the pants have drawstrings that give the pants a really fun look.  I also found that you can adjust how you tie the drawstrings, and then push the bottom of the pants up or down a little.  These baggy style pants also have pockets.  I really like that because many exercise style pants do not.  

These are just some of the great yoga clothing options that Onzie has to offer.  You can visit their website to learn more, or order.  You can also connect with Onzie on Facebook and Pinterest too!
