• These advanced appearance correcting and anti aging skin care products will help strengthen your skin’s moisture barrier and regenerate skin surface:

I have been trying out the, NEW Micro-Sculpting Eye Cream & Lash Serum Duo, and NEW Micro-Sculpting Cream. And I really like them.

The Micro-Sculpting cream, goes on really smooth and has a very pleasant fragrance too. It recommends on the back of the jar, to concentrate around your brow area and your jaw line, so that is what I've been doing. I think it is really helping! 

And the eye cream and Lash serum duo, are very nice also. If you dab some of the cream around your eyes and, it can make for a smoother looking lid. And the lash serum thickens the appearance of your lashes. Which I have been using this product for almost 2 weeks and I can already notice a difference.

Mommy and Me Meetup at Busch Gardens

Disclosure: I attended an event on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for Busch Gardens. I received free admission to the park as a thank you for participating

I shared a picture last week in this post from my trip to Busch Gardens. Now I want to tell you more about it.

I was invited to attend a Mommy and Me meet up with Mom Central. It was supposed to happen previously, but had to be postponed due to tropical storm Andrea. I'm not sure the total, but there were about 20 other families (other mommy bloggers) who attended also.

Here's a shot I got of my kids before we went into the park:

They were pretty excited, since it was our first time going to Busch Gardens, Williamsburg. We have lived in Virginia for almost 2 yrs, but hadn't been before.

When we entered the park our group got to meet a mommy and baby sheep. Here's my son petting the baby.

Then we were all treated to a delicious buffet breakfast. There was everything from danishes, to eggs, sausages, etc. (I should have taken a picture of it) but being a newbie at these events I didn't think of it.

Then we heard a talk by some different people. I'm not sure her exact title, but one of the directors of Busch Gardens spoke and the Founder and CEO of Mom Central, Stacy Debroff spoke. They talked about how, Busch Gardens had hired Mom Central to do a survey. The surveyed about 900 moms, and the results were that mom's think their kids are disconnected from outdoor play, and natural fun. Kids today are spending too much time indoors. And playing video games, etc.

Busch Gardens with the help of Mom Central want to promote natural fun. Stacy DeBroff, even went around the room and had the kids name different ways to have fun outdoors. The kids came up with some great ideas. Such as hiking, camping, having a picnic, and more. (there was more to these speeches - but this is just a general synopsis of it)

Then someone who works with the animals came onstage. There was a turtle, a couple of cool birds. Then she asked for volunteers. My son got picked to go up stage.

They got to meet "Bob" the snake. My son didn't know what he was going to be holding up there, but he said after he liked doing that. Then around noon time,. we were "let loose" to go and enjoy Busch Gardens however we wanted.

We ran around the park literally for 7 hrs after that. I don't have time to list every single ride or thing we did. But we were non stop go for that whole time. Of course I was relying on my digital camera, and after that last picture of my son & the snake, it died. So luckily the kids had either an ipod (my son) or a cell phone (daughter) to take a few pictures.

This roller coaster is described as lightning fast and features an 88 foot plunge. Let's just say, that was the first & last roller coaster my son went on.

My daughter posing outside of Verbolten. She didn't even entertain the thought of going on it:

Unlike my husband who went on all but one roller coaster at Busch Gardens (just because he didn't see it) and some more then once!

My Daughter loved this ride called Der Wirbelwind:

I think my daughter went on this at least 5 or 6 times.

This is just the highlights of what we did. We went on many more rides, saw lots of animals. And saw a show called Pet Shenanigans. It was really cute and featured all kinds of pets that they have rescued from shelters.

I hope to go back to Busch Garden's soon. Because although we did a lot, there is still a lot we didn't see. There are more shows and tours you can take. Like a behind the scene animal tour would be cool. And the rides, which we missed or we would go on the same ones again :)

My kids (especially my son) do fall into the category of not getting enough outdoor and natural play. Probably to much time on the computer. So it was nice to spend a family day together at Busch Gardens!

musicMagpie.com Review

Hi, everyone. I want to let you know about a website I just learned about. This sounds so cool. And I think is going to be perfect for me.

I don't know about you but I have tons of CD's, DVD's and even a few video games that I do not ever use anymore. Just the other day, I was looking in a cabinet, where we keep all of these, and I was thinking I never use these, but I don't want to just throw them away.

And living in a small rental home now, space is somewhat limited, so It would be great to get rid of some of these. And now I  found a great solution for this. I can sell my DVD's online.

There is a website called musicMagpie.com. And on there you can sell your DVD's, CD's and even video games. I haven't done it yet. But I am really going to look into this. And so far while looking at the website, it seems like a very simple process.

It seems really easy to use. All you have to do is enter the bar codes of the products you want to sell onto the Valuation Engine. It will then give you a price of how much each one is worth. If you have a lot of them, like I do this could really add up to some money for you.

Once you enter your bar codes, then you can ship the different disks to them. You can send them for free using their free shipping service. Then you get cash for your Cd's, Dvd's and games. Couldn't be easier! Please check the website for more information. And for the full terms and conditions.

Doesn't this sounds like a great idea? I am really excited to get started on this. I can already picture what I can do with the extra space I will gain by clearing some of these out. And the extra cash doesn't sound bad either!
