Thanks to Happy Place for pointing these out, they have more, but some aren't as funny. These are the best.

I'm sorry, but they're funny. Are people that doofy, or are they really intentional?
In order of least hilarious to MOST hilarious (bottom is the funniest IMHO)
90 day challenge! I am being sponsored for a product trial for weight loss, to detox and cleanse!
I have picked the
30 Night Diet because after looking at Creative Bioscience products, I realize I have tried Raspberry Ketones, Green Coffee Bean, and actually HGC too, but have never tried a product that you take at night. I am actively trying to cut back on caffeine products so I feel that this product of theirs would be the best fit for me. I love that they also carry an African Mango product, but since it is actually IN the product I chose (along with the Raspberry Ketones and other ingredients), it's a win-win for me.
I can't wait to see the results and share them with you.
Lose Weight Even While You're Asleep
New Night Diet™ 10, 20 and 30 are designed to help you lose 1 lb a day without using stimulants. If you get the diet jitters from other slimming supplements, try this stimulant-free formula to "diet right, day or night"--even while your body is resting. Do you need to lose a little, or a lot? Customize your Night Diet™ program to fit your lifestyle and weight loss goals, and get started today or tonight!
Tell me more about 5-HTP
Chances are you've heard about 5-HTP in the media. 5-hydroxytryptophan, or 5-HTP, is a powerful fat fighter found naturally in the seeds of the plant Griffonia Simplicifolia. It is clinically shown to help block fat formation. 5-HTP also helps balance serotonin levels in your brain to improve your mood by countering insomnia and depression. It can even lessen nerve pain in conditions like fibromyalgia.
A low-calorie diet often makes a person crave carbohydrates, and 5-HTP may help to keep serotonin levels from dropping and causing you to feel like going on a binge. It is clinically shown to help block glucose release into the bloodstream, and it slows fat and sugar absorption so they pass right through your system. Still have questions? We're here when you need to talk. What do you have to lose, besides weight?
Here's a little piece of good news, for you, my readers:
Creative Bioscience is actively looking for other bloggers, so if you are interested in taking a 90 day challenge yourself, then feel free to signup too.
More great news, after my 90 day challenge, one reader will be awarded with their own 90 day supply of product of their choice, via a giveaway- here on Locomotion of Expressions.

A reported 15-17% of social network users use both Twitter and/or Pinterest. While that doesn't compare to the 65% or more that use facebook, with the 4% growth in record time, Pinterest will top Twitters numbers in no time. If you are not using Pinterest for link expsure to your site, you're missing out! You should use all. I personally use very few, since I do not have time for all. I have yet to get swept into the instagram sensation, but here are links to my other social networks. I am really good about following people back within 24hours.

Enter to win a 25$ Gift Card to Publix below. Ends 3/15.
Publix is my favorite grocery store!!! Publix has a clean store, friendly employees, great sales, everyday prices and lots of BOGO offers. I love that their deli is fantastic, fresh and fast. They have the biggest organic section of any store I have ever seen that is not a store specializing in organics. They even carry grass fed beef, which I only eat, and no other store local to me has. Impressive.
I love Publix because they always have fresh (free) coffee, the bathrooms are always immaculately cleaned. Gosh there are so many reasons. My daughter loves them because she can go to the bakery and get a "free cookie". They have brands no one else has, and they even have hard to find varieties that no other stores have. For instance they have some varieties of Campells soup I have never seen at other stores.
It's easy to get in and out too. If you have a local Publix and don't shop there, your missing out. They can take a boring stressful shopping episode and make it fun! They obviously can't stop your babies from crying, but they take away all of the other stresses that accompany shopping, that is for sure. They have great coupon policies too. I have never been greeted with anything less than fabulous at our local store here in Kingsland. I will choose our store over all the grocery stores in this area, which include a Winn-Dixie, WalMart, Commissary, Harveys...
Italian food is always a huge crowd pleaser. Whether you’re feeding your hungry family or hosting a household of friends, everybody loves the taste of al dente pasta, a rich sauce or a delicious pizza.

And that’s not all! During the event shoppers will be able to enter for a chance to be 1 of the 500 shoppers that will win a $100 Publix® gift card! To enter for a chance to win and to download great coupon savings and delicious recipes, look in-store or visit www.clickcallmail.com.**
I used the 25$ gift card they sent me to make 2 dishes!!!
The Italian dish was Italian Sausage Spaghetti. (Double Italian!)
Here's how I make it:
I prefer Angel hair pasta
any Italian sausage will do, but I especially love the polka kielbasa pre-cooked kind.
I use 2 jars of pasta sauce
I cut the sausage in slices and/or dices of varying sizes, some big and some small. I stir it into my sauce on medium, I will add onion, mushroom, bell pepper, and seasonings usually garlic and parsley or basil. Boil the noodles to desired firmness/softness.
Drain, I like to stir a spoonful of olive oil into the drained noodles before mixing the sauce and noodles together in a big bowl.
Prep time: 10 min.
Cooking time 20 min.
Total time from start to table: 30 min.
The second recipe I made was 8 ingredient/can chicken taco soup.
I use:
2 cans of diced tomatoes.
3 Chicken legs, boiled, de-boned and pulled. The original recipe I saw called for canned chicken, which I think has a funny texture.
I used 1/2 a jar of salsa, instead of the recommended green enchilada sauce.
1 can Cream of Chicken soup.
1 can of Black beans
1 can of Pinto beans
1 can of whole kernel corn
1 can of chicken broth.
1 package of Taco seasoning.
Instructions? Well mix it all together! Easy peezy lemon squeezy. We used fritos and tostitos scoops to dip and crumble into our soup. It made a huge pot, and we are actually eating it's leftovers tonight!~
Prep Time 5-10 min.
Cook time 20 min.
Total time from start to table 30 min.
You can enter to win a 25$ gift card here on this blog by placing ONE comment (with your email address please) stating desire to win!

Disclaimer --
General Mills provided me with the information and gift pack through MyBlogSpark!
Tropical Traditions is America’s source for coconut oil. Their Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil is hand crafted in small batches by family producers, and it is the highest quality coconut oil they offer. You can read more about how virgin coconut oil is different from other coconut oils on their website: What is Virgin Coconut Oil?
If you ever get on Pinterest, you have to check out the Tropical Traditions Pinterest page! I like this board best, the Coconut DIY Board. I was one of the reluctant ones when Pnterest first started, but now I'm all aboard If you want to follow me on Pinterest, I follow everybody back, and my Pinterest is the same as my Twitter, Facebook, Blog and LinkedIn profile urls. You will find me on just about any site as "1caseycolette" (there can only be one!) Actually, there isn't. There is also a woman by the name of Colette Casey on Facebook I found.. freaky. I wonder if she's my mirror image opposite doppelganger.
Moving on to other more important things, such as: Why do you want to win this coconut oil??
Well, for numerous reasons. This coconut oil is minimally processed and GOLD LABEL. It is very high quality, and tastes quite good in most any recipes. I like to add it into my smoothies. I buy a bag of frozen fruit (whatever your preference, but I most like mango, strawberry peach blend.) I will add a few spoonfuls of yogurt, a little juice/water/milk, again- your preference, your palette. And of course, a spoon (or two) of this Tropical Traditions Coconut Oil.
I love Tropical Tradition's fast delivery & the many ongoing sales of their products which gives the consumers a chance to try them & save more. I highly recommend Tropical Tradition's products, especially their coconut oil & the company itself as a whole. I will be a fan for life and looking forward to try the rest of its healthy products!
This isn't a food/recipe blog, and I don't really follow directions anyway.. I'm a rule breaker. It's more of a judge by your eye and belly type thing. I kinda tend to just throw all the stuff together and it's always really tasty. I can adjust it for flavor after the first initial trial. You'd think the food/dish would turn out questionable, but not to brag, but I must have a flair for cooking, since it's always REALLY good. Then again, I am not extremely picky anyway. I just likes me some food! I have found that stirring in a spoon of Matcha green tea powder also makes the fruit and coconut oil smoothie taste even better. Matcha tea is good for you, same as coconuts are!
I also do like to stir in coconut oil or use it in place of vegetable canola/olive oil in the kitchen but keep in mind, it does add a coconut flavor to the dish. It has a strong taste, but if you like coconuts as much as I do, it shouldn't bother you.
I keep meaning to try it with coconut shrimp. Man, oh man- shrimp and coconuts together? I'll be in heaven. Extra COCONUTTY shrimp. YUM!~
If you aren't like me, and you follow recipes and directions to a T, you are probably sorely disappointed by my "recipe" above. Again, sorry- not sorry!
BUT you can find a whole BUNCH of coconut oil recipes here: Freecoconutrecipes.com & here
How to Use Coconut oil: There are hundreds of uses for coconut oil!
Tropical Traditions also carries other varieties of affordable high quality coconut oil. Visit their website to check on current sales, to learn about the many uses of coconut oil, and to read about all the advantages of buying coconut oil online. Since the FDA does not want us to discuss the health benefits of coconut oil on a page where it is being sold or given away, here is the best website to read about the health benefits of coconut oil.
I was excited to see this on the sidebar of their homepage:
Pure Coconut Oil
Buy 1 Get 1 FREE!!
16 oz. ea.
Pure Coconut Oil Retail: $25.00 (for 2)
Now: $12.50! (for 2)
until February 28th
That's a GOOD deal! What are you waiting for, don't wait to win, buy someCoconut Oil now!

* Today lets talk about showering. Showering by itself is a relaxing experience that can invigorate some and tire others. It always makes me sleepy. Some people shower to wake up, which seems crazy to me. Shower before work, and I might go back to bed. But a bath does me the same way. Something about warm water.
Showering with a partner should be fun, but somehow it ends up a not-so-pleasant experience for the more passive person in the relationship. That would be my husband. I gloat and giggle and bathe in all the hot water. While he stands there squirming, freezing, begging for water. Luckily, our shower head has a hose, and is detachable, so if I feel too sorry for him I just hand it to him, so there is no "changing places" that occurs. Don't judge me, he's the one who is always trying to get in the shower with me, uninvited. He should wait!
But this has led to a payback of sorts, because he knows I'm not going to share the water. So, this means- when he gets the shower head, he's out to make ME suffer. He'll hog it, same as I do!
Edenfantasys now carries a useful bathroom accessory that alleviates this problem. It is called the Sex in the Shower dual shower head – sensual bath. I stumbled across it, and thought, how marvelously genius This product couldn't be more appropriate for us. Hopefully I can review it soon, and see if it lives up to the glowing reviews I have seen on it. The price is $42.99 and it is supposed to fit and standard shower. It is In Stock right now- I checked before posting. It is made by Sportsheets.
So- no more freezing booties and boobies, you can conserve water while conserving water. Water pressure is measured in pounds per square inch or psi. An average water pressure is around 30-50 psi.Now, not to brag, but I'm fairly good at Google searches. That's me being humble, I'm actually fantastic at them! In any case, I can't seem to find any information about water pressure PSi OR Gallons per Minute for this particular model (gpm). If I can find it out, I'll be sure to update this post to reflect that. I think that it a very important detail that should be included in this product description.
It is available only in white. Dual shower heads, 3 stream options, removable heads. Must use both heads at once, neither can be shut off.
Promotion on Edenfantasys for the month of February!
I'm so excited to share with you that from now through 2/14, Tea Collection is offering 15% off sitewidewith promo code GOTHERE15. Shop the hottest spring looks inspired by Tea Collection's travels to South Africa or take an additional 15% off already reduced sale items.

Jumpstart is an educational game that I have reviewed before, and my daughter, Gigi (aged 7) loves it!
Jumpstart also has another really neat game, geared more towards Math and building math skills, called Math Blaster! Since 1987, Math Blaster has been loved by kids, parents and teachers.
Here’s some information from Math Blaster
Do you think you can tame a wild alien using your math skills? Jump on and play Alien Wrangler to beat the game! Well, Gigi has been playing it for a while, and she seems to really like it! We were so excited for Gigi to start her gifted/challenge program this month! What an accomplishment. Just becase she is already so smart, doesn't mean we should slow down at all. She's got all this intellectual build-up, bursting at the seams, and we should definitely encourage that momentum!
I love how easy it is for a child to navigate Jumpstart or MathBlaster. Giana much prefers JumpStart than Math Blaster, but she will play with both.
Here’s some information from Math Blaster
There are many places to explore once you launch the math game, most of which function similarly to arcade games. Blasters can build their math skills by visiting the Academy and the Job Board, and there are other fun games in the Space Port , as well. In our newest area, the Monster Mutt Rescue Dome, Blasters can adopt and raise their very own alien pet! Should you be interested, you can even take your pet along with you on your iOS mobile device with our latest app, Monster Mutt Rescue! It is completely free in the iTunes App Store and allows your kid to take their pet along with them wherever they go and to continue the learning and responsibilities that come along with raising a pet, alien or otherwise. Another helpful resource to look at is the Game Guide. Here you can learn more about the amazing Math Blaster games and the curriculum taught in each area
Some of the Key Features of Math Blaster are:
Solve math problems while saving the world in this educational software program
Combines exciting, fast-action game play with state-standard math content
Builds confidence, speed, and accuracy in basic math skills
Covers addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division
Math Blaster is a fast-action, futuristic adventure that adds up to total math success. From addition and subtraction to multiplication and division, children will build confidence, speed and accuracy in basic math skills that will stay with them long after their mission is complete. For over 20 years millions of parents, teachers and kids have trusted Math Blaster as an award-winning, educational resource with proven results. By combining exciting, fast-action game play and state-standard math content, you can count on Math Blaster for success.
Ages 6 - 12 years
Benefits
• Build math confidence
• Encourage speed and accuracy
• Improve math test scores
My child is an old-pro at this game, considering she's played it before! But, I know even if she hadn't it would be a breeze for her! The game is challenging enough without being too hard, easy enough- without being too easy! My daughter was very excited to get another gift membership! Thanks JumpStart & MathBlaster!
What is their favorite game or quest?
She likes training and raising their very own Monster mutt!
What is your take on kids using technology to learn?
I think it is a necessity of today's times. Children need to have strong supervision at younger ages. Technology is used more nowadays in the classroom than it was when I was my daughters age I think kids become a little too reliant (and adults, such as me, are very guilty of this too!) on technology as our sole source of entertainment so I really think there's a fine line you have to walk, between too much, too little and just enough to really get the perfect balance.
Yes, I feel like these resources do come in handy, for when you are struggling to explain in kid-speak certain things, or having struggles with a certain topic, these can be become extremely useful indeed!
Want to win?
To enter to win a 3 month membership to the online world of MathBlaster, all you need to do is place one comment about this review, and be sure to also leave an email address to contact you on, in the very smae comment. It's so easy it's like stealing candy from a baby!
