Celestial Seasonings Tea Review

- brandy3 2 Comments

In 1969, a group of passionate young entrepreneurs founded Celestial Seasonings upon the belief that their flavorful, all-natural herbal teas could help people live healthier lives. They harvested fresh herbs from the Rocky Mountains by hand, and then dried, blended and packaged them in hand-sewn muslin bags to be sold at local health food stores. By staying committed to their vision, the founders of Celestial Seasonings turned their cottage industry into an almost overnight success.

Today, Celestial Seasonings is the largest specialty tea manufacturer in North America. They serve more than 1.6 billion cups of tea every year, and they source more than 100 different ingredients from over 35 countries to create our delicious, all-natural herbal, green, red, white, chai and wellness teas.

Celestial Seasonings is celebrating 40 yrs. with adding some new flavors to their line.

  • Goji Berry Pomegranate Green Tea
  • raspberry Gardens Green Tea
  • Blueberry Breeze Green Tea

I received the Sleepytime Vanilla-(caffeine free), Authentic Green Tea with antioxidant, and Decaf mandarin Orchard Green Tea

***I have to say all the teas were delicious, My husband drank majority of the Celestial Seasonings and he would agree. Delicious.  It has a better taste to it than regular Green Tea.  I would have to say my favorite was the Authentic Green Tea, we like the caffeine and the strong flavor

Fiber for all

- brandy3

Fiber for All is dedicated to the mission of advancing the development and expansion of fiber technology in America. We believe that every American should have access to the speed and freedom that fiber to the home can offer.

The internet is used for everything, blog picture sharing, keeping connected with relatives, even college classes.  I even took high school classes online a while back. Why own a T.V, when you can watch movies, news, talk with others. If the internet was the only technology avalable to us, i think people would be fine. The internet is T.V., a phone, a video camera,  and more!

I have basic high speed internet or WIFI, but it still goes slow, it really depends on your computer. Imagine all the possiblities that the internet can do. I live over 2000 miles away from all my family and the internet is my sanctuary. I keep in contact, I’m a blogger, It’simages of my kids, my latest source of information, my phone and more!  With Fiber optic Internet speeds are 15% faster!

I wish I had Fiber for all, It’s the way of the future! And who wants to be stuck with slow internet speed, or lose connection at all. Some people have access to fiber via services like Verizon FiOS and AT&T U-Verse they are the small minority. The fiber infrastructure of the United States needs to be improved to help foster innovation and technological advancement.    I’m not one of them, I am probably one of the few with only a land line. Plus i use cable internet phone.  The problem is when your internet is out so is your phone. thats not a ideal situation, exspecially if you have three small children like me. Always need a way to contact authorities.

My husband is a college student and on the computer constintly, weather its to post homework online, work on a research project or find a science journal. I can’t tell you how many times he has lost connection in the middle of a assignment or the computer froze. we really need to switch To Fiber Optic, because the internet is keeping us sane! (I don’t mean that badly, it helps us stay connected, find out info when our kids are sick, homework and more)

Fiber for All is having a contest for bloggers and twitter users.

FiOS Triple Play Bundleyou could win this package for joining the Fiber for all movement!

don’t forget to follow them on twitter @fiberforall

Faster Intera old snet, Phone, T.V, and computer all connected together. who could ask for more. go visit the site right now.

This would be a dream come true for us, we have T.V’s with no buttons, a old slow computer, and  a phone with broken caller id, we need a change!

Ocean Isle Beach stay

- brandy3 1 Comment

103_2136If you haven’t heard already, I visited Ocean Isle Beach and was a guest blogger at Ocean Isle Inn.  It was a long 4 hour drive but worth it. 

 

 

 

 

 

The Room- I got a room with a ocean view, so beautiful. It comes with a fridge and microwave  which  is a plus having kids with me. plus they had a coffee maker, ironing board with iron, hair dryer and free wifi.   the room was very nice and had a beautiful ocean view.  you get a free complimentary breakfast too. The only complaint is the beds were a little high.

This is the view from my room

They have two pools for your enjoyment, a outdoor pool, with a deck that connects to the beach. It also has a outdoor shower so you can rise off sand. They have an indoor heated pool with a spa.  they are both very nice and relaxing.

We also had a chance to explore around, they have some great restaurants like The Giggling Mackerel, Cinellis pizza, and they also had a small food and ice cream parlor/arcade next too ocean isle inn. they have a recreation building next door, which also can give you access to the pier. We did not go on the peir though,  they charge a dollar for adults and fifty cents per child. I refused to pay to walk down a pier.

We loved staying at the Ocean Isle Inn, It’s a small hotel but very quiet an relaxing.  We visited Myrtle Beach during our stay, and i would have to say i would rather stay at Ocean Isle. no fighting crowds, quiet, relaxing. There is no lifeguard tower near by, so you swim at your own risk.

here are some pics from the beach103_2126
