#thisREALLYhappened?! Dear Alyssa + a glance at the other side of the fence #wastingMYtime & What it's like to be a blogger...

Okie dokie, so where do I start????


I know most people or friends of mine even, that know I am a blogger think this is so easy and it's just given to me, I sit down and write a few words, and maybe PR people think that too.
That's just not the case.
There is so much more to it than that.

As your blog and follower numbers grow, so do the amount of pitches you recieve. I quit blogging for a few years bc I just simply could NOT keep up with the kids, the house, a full time blog, and the UPS USPS & FedEx all bringing two or three boxes A DAY.
A blog is like a snowball rolling downhill.. it gets bigger & bigger. I'm not sure how these GIANT blogs do it, mad respect.
For real.

About the Product

I was sent a Zero Tolerance Hinderer knife. Perfect for us, since I do have little patience and Zero Tolerance. I kid, I kid. But I'm serious too. This has got to be the coolest pocket knife I have ever seen. I have my share of pocket knifes, one I keep on my purse, and one in a sheath in my car. Why? Because, hey- you never know.. This one is way nicer than any I have ever owned. I LOVE this knife!

Anyway this is a "defender" knife a HINDERER, and to me knives are just for that. Defense & hindering. I am, not a big gun person, honestly they scare me, so a knife is perfect for me to defend myself. In addition, it's for more than just defnding yourself. A hunter could use this, or it makes a perfect gift for the hard-to-shop-for man in your life. Husband, father, son.. etc.

It is perfect for a blue collar workman to use on the job.

It has many uses and I love how rigid and just honmestly the quality of it. This particular model I was sent retail for 260$ - though they start as low as 69.95. See more Zero Tolerance knives.

Zero Tolerance knives are built tough enough to meet the needs of military, law enforcement, and other first responders. They'll handle whatever you throw at them, in real-world situations you face every day.

No excuses -- Zero Tolerance.

REAL SCIENCE - HELP MOMS GET THROUGH THE DAY WITH A SMILE

I am proud to introduce to you a replacement for all those costly and unhealthy, sugar laden energy drinks you all can't seem to shake the habit of!  It's called Gung-Ho!  

GungHo has been vetted by the smartest brain scientists and medical professionals in the world:

  "PROVEN focus & concentration...builds neurotransmitters...unlike energy shots or drinks..."

  - Dr Perry Renshaw, MD, PhD, Director @ The Brain Institute @ The University of Utah

I was sooo impressed with the ingredients list!

Read on to find out some useful info the brand wants me to share, then at the bottom my opinion of this neat little travel friendly energy shot!

2013 is the Year of the Brain! Based on exciting new research, GungHo is an all-natural brain supplement shown to improve focus and concentration now as well as improve memory recall and brain health over time.

GungHo is balanced across all major neurotransmitter categories (not just the sympathetic nervous system like energy drinks). Increases beta-endorphines (science calls them "happy hormones"). Mild appetitie suppressant with no sugar, carbonation or calories.

GungHo has been covered in  AllThingsD, the WSJ, Time Magazine, Wired etc. Read over 700 customer reviews or study the science if you want more information.

Get lean & improve endurance

GungHo can offer energy once your muscles are tired, for those last reps or sprints (increased choline supports the re-synthesis of muscle). You'll typically stay “in the zone” longer, just like sensei says you should.

GungHo can also increase the level of neurotransmitters to increase your ability to metabolize fat and even help to suppress your appetite. Hunh? It'll help you lose weight, grasshopper.

No sugar. No carbonation. 4 calories. All killer, no filler.

MOMS ARE BLIND TO THIS...AND OUR CHILDREN ARE IN TROUBLE

There's a dangerous epidemic:  Black-market "focus/study-drug" addiction (class-A addictive like Cocaine)...or energy drink-overload by overwhelmed students and moms who need a focus/productivity/energy boost. 1 in 4 college students take illegal ADHD (focus) drugs to finish papers/ace tests. Moms just struggle to get through the day.

HERE'S WHY WOMEN HATE ENERGY DRINKS...BUT LOVE GUNGHO^R

Women, especially Moms, are the busiest people in the world; typically more tired and worn-out than men. So why are 85% of the consumers of energy supplements male? Female physiology experts have explained that Caffeine & B Vitamin overload is a nightmare physiologically for women.

MY REVIEW:

I am a coffee addict! Can't live without it. I have to have my caffeine. But the more coffee I drink, the more tolerance I seem to get to it's effects. Drinking more used to help, but now I worry about all those unnecessary calories and sugar! Don't drink your calories! Plus, it doesn't seem like coffee is even doing anything anymore. Time to move onto a new product! But taking care of two young kids and when you add the fact that I am an insomniac can having tiring results that drag me down throughout the day! Needless to say I was slightly skeptical. I being I myself tried GungHo and didn't know what to expect! I found it to be surprisingly tasty and gave me an excess boost of energy, a pick me up that lasted from when the mail ran, (because of course I drank it right away!) until I went to bed. It did not have any ill side effects and also didn't kep me up!  If you look on the product's website you'll find that they have a great free sample* offer. So try it now risk free! The free trial-pack to my readers with this link: www.gogungho.com/free. You just pay $2.99 shipping and get a free 3-pack. Tell them Locomotion of Expressions sent you! I love that if your a social bee (like Me!) you can earn 15$ towards the purchase of your Gung-Ho order with their sharing program, which is super easy! If you have tried it, comment below what you thought of it!

#BGCMiami 3 episodes left + reunion #spoilers #bgc11 #badGIRLSclub PLUS ranking of my top fave bad girls in BG History!

Source : Wikipedia

Whats left in store for Season 11 (Miami)

10	"'Nae, 'Nae Go Away"[39]	October 22, 2013	TBA
Shanae continues to rub everyone the wrong way, while new girl Mercedies brings a breath of fresh air into the house.
11	"Knock Your Socks Off"[40]	October 29, 2013	TBA
The ladies decide to take action against Shanae when her bad attitude pushes them to the breaking point.
12	"Cowgirl. Crapshoot."[41]	November 5, 2013	TBA
Andrea loses control when she fears she is the next target, while the other girls throw the wildest pool party in Bad Girls Club history.

I feel sorry for this girl Mercedies and DEF for Shanae. I guess it's Shanaes karma for not forgiving Janelle and jumping on the I-Hate-Janelle bandwagon.

And don't get me started about how  I can't wait til the reunion pops off.

 I do or have noticed 2 things about BGC fans and shows that I find amusing.

Number one is:

The fans:  Of course being a blogger- I am super active in social media. One thing that get's on my nerves about some of the BGC and Oxygen fans, is unlike me, a lot of the girls that watch ARE self-proclaimed bad girls themselves And most of them surely are!! However, everyone LOVES to talk trash about the show that they are STILL WATCHING in episode 9. Within minutes of posting on Facebook, the BGC Fan Page will have hundreds, and by the next day, thousands of comments, most of which trash the girls. I cant speak, I basically just did the same. But you don't see me spouting off about how "this season is the worst season!!" I see that every episode in hashtags on twitter, and on FaceBook.. and honestly it gets old. OBV you like it enough to comment that you hate it. If you hate it SO much, why are you even STILL watching with 2 episodes left?

At least I admit I love this trashy reality TV show. In fact- I love the girls. There is usually one I cannot stand though. Last season; Valentina. A lot of the time on Social Media, they say the girls are ugly, which most of them maybe not be supermodel hot, but usually are all very pretty. Even in their own way.  Some downright adorable and sexy... it's just mean because a lot of the fans are females who prolly aren't supermodels themselves.  #justSaying.


Even sometimes a girl you think might be unattractive can grow on you if you keep watching the show, mostly because of her personality. I feel that when you live in a house with cameras 24/7 they're bound to catch bad acting or looking moments. Truth is: almost all of these girls are prettier than most anyone we know. They might not dress right- but who are we to judge? I like their styles and attitudes almost always, and get very annoyed at people trashing their looks saying "they're all ugly" or "worst season ever" So please back up a little. If its so bad, stop commenting then. Period, end of sentence. I hate to see what people say about me. So harsh.

Me; but I'm no "Bad Girl"

Number 2 is--
How do the girls not realize each replacement usually gets worse and they were better off before said "new girl". Like - they kick out Sarah; and they end up with Janelle.. who, wasn't bad, but just rubbed them wrong from the get go. So just like Sarah- who didn't really do anything to them either. Sarah did pick a fight w Gigi though.. but it still doesn't make me "dislike her".

They just take a statement and run with it, never forgiving. Ironically though- the group fights and forgives within itself, usually offending and forgiving for far worse crimes against person(s) than the "new girl" they so hate has ever done.
"Oh we hate her because she's new." No you hate her bc you feel like you have to. Or because someone like T or Jazmone is saying they don't like the person, so you never stop to give them a chance. Sadly, such is the way of life- and we all do it to people we work with our NEIGHBORS, ect, etc.

 Whether we realize it or not.

  You don't have to be best friends with someone  to work with or coexist peacefully with them. You don't have to torture and beat each other either. But I guess they feel like they have something to prove bc they are "bad girls" so it's a recipe for disaster anyway. 7 self-proclaimed bad girls who all live in a house with no men are bound to bump heads!!!  No?

The best moment of the season. Poor Janelle gets jumped and pushed out, but on the way out she splits and "bounces on it" in the driveway before she literally splits. I lovee that moment because it shows that even though they won physically, they didn't beat her mentally. As lame as they say they thought it was, I thought it was bad ass!

 It is so addictive and entertaining. My guilty "trashy" pleasure.

I love this show.
I would terribly miss it if it ever went away. yes there is a LOT of drama, but it is interesting to watch, IMO. If you like The Real World or MTVs "The Challenge" you'll love this show. Trust me!!!

I actually started watching Bad Girls Club I think in Season 5 and watched past episodes when they reran marathons on Oxygen (back when I had more than just Netflix and Hulu + ) anyway..I now have to buy episodes on Amazon at 1.,99 a pop. Phhoooey! Almost worth getting back cable, 'cept I "own" them on a cloud. The future has odd terms for stuff. Like I am so silly- I am picturing an actual cloud with a bookshelf that says "Caseys Amazon Episodes" .. LOL.

I never got into the first season too much, so I dk about them too much to make a judgement on them.

Without any further ado   *drumroll please**

Lets get some pics of the Bad Girls I loved most and would love to interview or meet, or see reappear on TV. I miss all of them, see- if I picked a "All Star" cast, these girls would definitely be on it. Some I feel like I personally know. I may not always agree with the things they did or said, but these have been my faves...

Why I shop sites that I shop on.

I have been a blogger for Edenfantasys for quite sometime. Not only do I recommend them to my readers, but also constantly to my close friends and family. I cant even picture using another site I am so loyal to them. I have been using them for almost 3 years, and I know their site like the back of my hand. I love being on their newsletter list, they don't email often, but when they do, its quality over quantity!
I love when they have money saving promotions, which are always not to be missed! Don't forget to the click the link that says FREE GIFT and add a freebie to your order. I usually get the sex toy wipes!



Here's the latest batch (image below) you can see this page yourself here: Edenfantasys.com/promotions

One of the coolest things I found recently was this dice game, that's inside a bottle of massage oil, so not only will you get a massage, but the perfect opportunity to spring the sex game your partner probably wouldn't play otherwise. I mean, do you get up in the middle of Law & order SVU and say, OK lets play this dice sex game? Haha!  At least the massage oil eases the transition form married life to romantic playtime more seamlessly.
There are rules, or you can make up your own. personally- I think making up your own would be much more fun.
The oil is rather large, and extremely affordable, since it's only 11.99.

Another item perfect for me, a little pricier was in the bath & body area on their site. Check out this Sensual Cooling Gel which is $34.90.. but looks like it would be really cool!

One of my favorite items I bought from them was this lockable toy case. That thing is small, pretty, and functional. I like it a lot!!!

No matter what you need; Edenfantasys is bound to have it. They're not just toys but other things too, books and lingerie and beauty products like makeup!  Everything is competitively priced and quality. I have been buying for quite sometime and have yet to have an issue. Even if you do, they are great with exchanges as well. The best part of the website is definitely the points program for gift cards toward their site, just for browsing their site!!! Check em out!!

SILLY REAL LIFE CLUBS

Silly, Real-Life Clubs

Catch the All-Star Squad in This Sci-fi Comedy Available on Blu-ray and DVD November 13

Ben Stiller, Vince Vaughn, Jonah Hill and Richard Ayoade take male bonding to hilarious new heights in this outrageous, no-holds-barred comedy that gets funnier every time you watch! There’s trouble brewing in peaceful Glenview, Ohio. That’s why four civic-minded citizens, armed with flashlights, walkie-talkies and spiffy new jackets, have teamed up to safeguard their community. But the guys find more than they bargained for when they uncover an alien plot to destroy Earth, and now these bumbling heroes are Glenview’s only chance to save the neighborhood — and the world — from annihilation.

From secret societies to Neighborhood Watch groups – Here’s a breakdown of some of the most exclusive, offbeat and just plain weird clubs:

Society for Explosives Engineers

This society strives to educate students about careers in mining, specifically mining through use of explosives.  There are lots of field tests and explosions involved in the education process.

The Beefsteak Club

 This 300 year old British club was also known as the Sublime Society of Beefsteak.  Their membership caps off at 24; even the Prince of Wales, the future George IV, had to wait until someone died to become a member.  Members gather to eat steak, talk about steak, sing about steak and even wear a funny outfit including a badge proclaiming “Beef and Liberty”.

National Toothpick Holder Collectors' Society

This 700 member society promotes and supports the collecting of toothpick holders, and does research and articles for their publication the Toothpick Bulletin and participates in collector-related events. 

Quiet Birdmen

The Quiet Birdmen is a secretive drinking club for pilots known for their boisterous gatherings.   Members, called QBs, must be invited to join, and they join for life. Today, the club's membership, organized into regional "hangars", is made up primarily of retired airline and military pilots, as well as a few astronauts.

World Association of Ugly People

This club was founded in Italy in 1879 and an organization dedicated to fighting for the recognition of ugly people, in a society that places a high value on physical beauty. The group's motto is "A person is what he is and not what he looks like".

Originally started by Italian noblemen and formerly a marriage agency, the club seeks to protect aesthetic biodiversity and combat the media’s portrayal of beauty.

The Ejection Tie Club

To join this club, you’ll have to have survived being fired out of a military plane by ejection seat.  Totally safe, totally normal…and your prize for such a dangerous feat..

#HolidayGiftGuide Mi Cielo HAS THE CUTEST T-Shirts for Kids & Baby!!!

For those who have read my Elmo Makes Music Review you already know we are HUGE "Elmo" Fans. When you add that to the fact that I also love all things Etsy & Handmade-- but who doesn't? It's a sure fire bet I asked to review Mi Cielo's Elmo Shirt!

These days the fad seems to be leaning towards organics, and handmades..
I love the handmade and gorgeous shirts by Mi Ceilo.
She is an amazing designer, seamstress who has a cool etsy store and sells shirts modeled after:

• Elmo
• Star Wars
• Star Trek
• Mr T
• Ron Burgundy
• Hello Kitty
• Peewee
• charlie brown
• Lilo & Stitch
• Pooh
• Cookie Monster
• Mrs Piggy
• Mr Fox
• Transformers
• Octopus
• Pirate
• Cars

Oh my.. does the list go on and on. In fact- it seems like Mi Cielo has expanded their inventory/characters/selection since I first started my blog review of their items.

Having had this shirt since late summer I can tell you just how quality it its. First of all- I have washed it in the washing machine and dryer, and it is doing great! I decided recently to stop doing this though, just in case- but did it for this review, just to see!
(I'm a rule-breaker!)
Second of all, everyone seems to think I made it.
Now of course, I refuse to take credit for that- so I correct them, and tell them to look for the review soon. Because they all want their own.

About Kayo Master:

Being based in such a tropical island, like Honolulu, Hawaii it's no question where her inspirational and creativity draws from! She is also a woman of 87.5% Japanese and 12.5% Russian; married to a graphic designer; she has one child, and is a self-proclaimed world-traveler who traveled more than 35 countries by the time she was 28-year-old; she's a dancer who teaches salsa and other Latin dances; a kick-boxer who loves to sweat off all stress; and an owner of this shop Mi Cielo who loves to keep designing and hand-stitching unique items for the unique people!

I don't know how she finds time for all of that, but I gotta say WOW!~ + I am extremely impressed with her patience !  

Keep in mind-  She also has on Etsy, a 100% feedback scored from 536 people!
That's fantastic!  I am sure I don't even do that good here on this blog!  LOL!

Devonny LOVES this shirt!!

Thank god Blogspot doesn't have feedback.

No, I'm just kidding!!!

Ilove this brand, and you have just GOT to check her stuff out.. it all has the same theme, and cutesy cartoony look, the design itself is made with felt, and the shirt is high quality cotton!

I do want to share my top 5 fave items/pictures in her storefront (your welcome) and I also included links to them on her site and Etsy! I also think it's neat she offers gift wrapping for only 3$! 

You should keep her in mind this year when buying your Holiday Gifts! She makes clothes for all ages and sizes, and even requests custom made orders.
 Don't y'all love all the pics of Devonny in it? She's so sweet!~ 
Without further ado, here are my top 5 picks for her stores: 

 Princess Layer Combo $23 on Etsy or $42 on her site

Looks Like Mr T  :  Mens T-Shirt $29 on Etsy OR On the MiCieloMiCielo Website

 

Princess Layer Womens Adult Tee OR $29 on Etsy

Looks Like Charlie Brown t-shirt on Etsy $25 or check out the baby infant bodysuit that's $24 too.

Looks Like Stitch $25 on Etsy but I couldn't find it on her website, only on Etsy!

Those are all really cute and you love them, right? I don't even get into Star Wars, but there are so many of those different designs, with their huge fanbase, your sure to know someone who would appreciate it. 

 On Etsy, she has: 1,687 sales & 2,487 admirers!!
She is AWESOME!!!

Please, if your on Etsy go support this designer by FaVoRoTInG YOUR FAVE ITEMS OR her Store! Look below to also find a link to her on Twitter.  Her prices are moderate considering the quality  they make it all worth it! They start at around $25, but can be as high as $43. 

Don't forget to check out the Women's version of this Elmo shirt!!!
