These list are awesome--I've been doing my best to get them done!--NOT always in the order on the list but something from the list-

WEAR your heart out by drawing, getting a temporary tattoo or pinning a red heart to show you’re doing your #30DayGIVE Then SHARE  on Social Media and encourage other to give the challenge a try!  GET THE WHOLE FAMILY INVOLVED -MAKE A DIFFERENCE

August 19th is National Hot and Spicy Food Day Celebrate with @TandoorChef #foodie

Did you know August 19 th is Hot and Spicy Food Day. It has been proven  compounds in spicy food can improve your health. The rest of my family are not to fond of the spice like I am that's why I'm a fan of Tandoor Chef Entrees I can get the benefits the rest of the family is missing out on.

 Here are 5 reasons you shouldn’t skimp on the heat with Tandoor Chef:

1.    Weight Loss: Studies show that the main compound in chilies, called capsaicin, has a thermogenic effect and may cause the body to burn more calories and boost metabolism. 

Heat up! Lamb Vindaloo.

2.    Heart Health: Studies show that cultures that eat the spiciest foods have much lower incidence of heart attack and stroke. It could be because chili peppers help to reduce the damaging effects of bad cholesterol while capsaicin helps to fight inflammation.

Heat up! Vegetable Pad Thai.

3.    Cancer Prevention: Some studies suggest that capsaicin has the ability to kill some cancer and leukemic cells. Another spice, turmeric, may slow the spread of cancer and growth of tumors.

Heat up! Balanced Vegetarian Palak Paneer.

4.    Lower Blood Pressure: Vitamins A and C strengthen the heart muscle walls, and spicy heat can increase blood flow throughout your body.

Heat up! Balanced Vegetarian Kofta Curry.

5.    Boost Your Mood: Spicy foods boost production of feel-good hormones, such as serotonin, easing depression and stress.

Heat up! Malai Kofta.

With Vegan, Vegetarian, and Gluten Free verities your sure to find a entree that will suit you.

Teaching you Child how to take good Pictures -Let @NatGeo new Book help you #Review

**WARNING this post is about photography MAY WILL contain an OUTRAGEOUS AMOUNT OF EYE-CATCHING  PICTURES**   =^D

In middle school many moons ago a teacher handed me a Eastman Kodak

I was hooked...taking what few classes our school offered in photography.

I wanted to learn as much as I could about how to get the best shot...learning how  to be creative with shutter speed using the photographic paper  in the darkroom and what effects could be done in different washing's.

 I remember at a teen getting my first Polaroid--the instant 

gratification of seeing your shot-80's  version of Instagram!

SO MUCH has changed now; so many great advancements in photography.  Everyone from Grandpa to tiny tot's can carry some device with a camera with them anywhere! Well National Geographic  is just the company to team children's author and a legendary photographer together to make a great guide for kids  learning to taking super photos. Annie Griffiths and Nancy Honovich collaborate to bring National Geographic Kids Guide to Photography:Tips & Tricks on How to Be a Great Photographer From the Pros & Your Pals at My Shot (National Geographic Children's Book; out Aug 4,2015 ages 8-12)

This is an easy to understand ....up-to-date guide on photography and photo equipment from a smartphone to  a point and shoot camera. There are awesome pointers presented in a kid friendly format and the book is PACKED with information on how to take photos of many different subjects -people, animals, sports, landscape and even underwater! 

My Son was eager to get out and put some of what he read to the test. We planed a day at a local park that has an abundance of great subjects for photo opportunities. 

As most of the time I'm the one behind the camera he snapped a pretty good shot of me too.

When we got back home he played around with a few editing tools and gave his photos a more polished and professional look. Makes a Mama PROUD =^D

Young photographers are also invited to share their skills online at the National Geographic Kids MY SHOT COMMUNITY moderated online community , kids can safely share their photos and take challenges from National Geographic editors. I know my Son was eager to join the site and share a few of the photos he took. He liked the different challenges and cannot wait to get out for another fun photo taking session.

Whether you've been fighting arthritis pain for ages or just suffer from aches and pains after a round of golf or an afternoon in the garden, OxyRub pain relief cream can eliminate your pain—quickly



I've been having some medical drama and one of the biggest thing I need to do is "MOVE" more--I put off any form of exercise because I've got horrible pain in my knee and shoulders. Now I can rum some  OxyRub on before I start working out and after--NO EXCUSE NOW!!!
