Ditch Cable and Save Money With Sling TV! #review @sling

April 1, 2016 By

sling-take-back-tv

 

My family recently made the decision to give up cable. We were tired of paying the high costs when we really didn’t need all the channels provided, and my husband  and I only watched a few shows. We knew we wanted a service that did provide some of the shows we all love but for a fraction of the cost. I was asked to review a month of Sling TV, it really is the perfect alternative to cable!

 

What is Sling TV you may be asking yourself?  Sling TV is the best of live tv for only $20 per month (channels are basically what you would typically find on basic cable) and offers no contract or equipment. You can also add on channel packages for $5 a month per package.

Watch instantly. There’s no eight-hour window where you’re stuck waiting at home. There’s no cable guy. There’s no cable installation. Just the live TV you want.

 

 

You can watch Sling TV on the following devices:

  • All Amazon Fire TV players
  • Roku LT & higher
  • Chromecast
  • AndroidTV
  • ZTE
  • Channel Master
  • iOS App
  • Android 4.0.3 & higher

St. John’s Town Center Goes Green on Earth Day, April 22nd! @StJohnsTownCtr #Earthday

Cheers to planet Earth! Earth Day is Friday, April 22, and St. Johns Town Center plans to celebrate our planet in a big way by showcasing its current sustainability programs, hosting educational demonstrations and offering exciting giveaways throughout the day. 

In honor of Earth Day, the Dick’s Sporting Goods courtyard will be transformed into an environmental fair complete with demonstrations and information from groups including The YMCA and UNF Public Health Department. Eastcoast Land Care will give away 100 trees to patrons interested in planting to commemorate the special event.

While Earth Day is celebrated only one day, St. Johns Town Center celebrates and supports sustainable living year round! Most recently, two electric vehicle charging stations have been installed on the property behind Jos. A. Bank store on Midtown Parkway.  Shoppers are able to “pull up and plug in” their vehicles at the charging station while they enjoy time at the mall. The center has also added free Tesla charging stations behind the Tesla store. 

Additionally, the Shop Shuttlebug, which runs on an electric battery, transports shoppers from surrounding parking lots to their shopping destination on property. The 15-passenger Moto Electric Vehicle shuttle operates Fridays and Saturdays from 12 – 9 p.m. and Sundays from 12 – 6 p.m. The center recently added drinking fountains with bottle refill stations to the Wolfson’s play area, restroom next to Starbucks and in the park green, where misters can also be found. The center also offers cardboard recycling for tenants and recycling bins located throughout the property for everyday use. Even the landscaping at St. Johns Town Center is green! Drought-tolerant plants that require less water decorate the property, and plants are fertilized organically. Guests also have access to twelve bike racks, which can be found throughout the property, and paperless hand dryers in common-area restrooms.

“We want to reinforce our enthusiasm for going green and encourage our shoppers to do the same,” said Valerie Beaubrun, General Manager at St. Johns Town Center. “With all of our upcoming and existing eco-friendly initiatives, we are making it possible for even more people to make a positive difference when it comes to the environment.

About St. Johns Town Center 

St. Johns Town Center is Jacksonville’s newest and most-talked-about shopping destination with over 16 million visitors each year. Guests can shop, dine, live and entertain in a beautifully designed lifestyle center that offers 1.4 million square feet of unique shopping and dining including many new stores they won’t find anywhere else in Jacksonville.

Animal Hearted, Apparel and Gifts for Animal Lovers @Animal_Hearted #animalhearted #Review

March 27, 2016 By

logo-1

 

I am a big animal lover. My husband and I have had a variety of pets which have included fish, reptiles, guinea pigs, a chinchilla, a tarantula and cats. Quite the variety as you can see! Our most recent addition is our beautiful cat Scarlet, which whom we rescued from our local animal shelter. She brings us absolute joy and makes our family complete. Whenever I can I always donate to animal shelters, or donate to any organizations that help animals in need. When I found out about Animal Hearted, I was very interested in checking out what they have.

 

 

 

Animal Hearted Apparel is very passionate about animals. They donate 25% of proceeds from every order to a non-profit animal shelter or rescue. They have helped save thousands of shelter pets, and with your help, can save thousands more.

Some of the amazing organizations they have worked with include the Humane Society of the United States, Animal Place Sanctuary, Give Me Shelter Cat Rescue, the North Shore Animal League, SPCA of Solano County, Mid Atlantic Pug Rescue, Yolo County SPCA, and German Shepherd Rescue of Northern California.

 

I was able to chose two different shirts for review. I only have a cat so I decided to review two cat themed shirts. They have many shirts with many sayings, so it did take me a bit of time to choose which shirts I wanted. They are all so cute!

The two shirts I reviewed

Let me say, the sayings on some of the apparel is hilarious. I really enjoyed browsing the website and picking out my shirts. They offer Adult and Youth apparel, gifts, custom pet picture shirts and so much more. Everyone will find something they like. I reviewed both of these shirts in a Woman’s Jr Slim Fit. I knew a Junior size would run small, I usually wear a medium and in these I ordered an XL because I wanted them not tight. The size worked our perfectly. The shirts also come in Unisex T-shirt, Unisex Sweatshirt, and Woman’s Jr Fit Racerback Tank Top. The shirts are very soft and wash very well. I received many compliments when I wore one for a ladies night out. Shipping was very fast, I received my order within 2 business days.

My order also came with a decal and coupon. I will definitely be putting the decal on my car.
