Sunset Beach Park & Resort

 

Meet Sunset Beach Resort in Babak Samal.

The unplanned family outing. It was very interesting hearing  good feedback from my friend about the resort. So We went through on the beach without further booking. Good for us, We had our very cute room facing to the beach itself.

My Mom and my Dad

In the morning, the beach seems to be like normal and just like with the other beach. You can play to their shoreline and have some tour to their place. The sand isn't that perfect white and to be honest the water is not that clear much.

STEAMED-SQUID

I cooked STEAMED-SQUID with oyster sauce for our dinner. I love the preparation I made. It was easy and had a very less time management. The photo below is my hubby ♥

My imaginative Baby!

Bragging his robot :)

We were about to sleep, when my son Drake looked for his lego (blocks) and refused to sleep. So, As parents we let him played in just a minutes. While playing, He caught our attention for we were so amazed seeing him building a robot. I don't even teach him, nor my husband. We are so proud of our baby, He's showing something peculiar from time to time.

Canadian Debt Relief - Find Attorney Sheila Cockburn

Debt can be like a heavy anchor that sinks individuals or families, but there is help for those most in need in the form of debt relief, in which some of the money owed is forgiven---or at least the growth of the debt is slowed. However, some debt relief programs should be avoided because of their unscrupulous practices.

If you’re a Canadian, you may want to check out the debt relief service that clegal.ca has to offer. This is a Canadian debt relief law firm where you’ll find Attorney Sheila Cockburn being the lead attorney for the firm with her area of expertise being debt relief.  It’s important for one to partner with someone that really knows the ins and outs of debt relief, given the many debt relief options that are available.  With the extensive background Attorney Cockburn has, she brings to the table the knowledge that is needed to inform clients of what is in their best interest.  She is able to work with US and Canadian institutions, law firms, and collection agencies.  These are all important factors when determining who to turn to for help.

Some debt relief programs falsely claim they can lower your interest rate or reduce your amount of debt, but you should proceed with caution, because you could end up carrying the same amount of debt along with added fees and penalties. Beware of companies that offer a one-time settlement for your debt or offer to reduce it by up to 50 to 70 percent, because these promises are just about impossible. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

No nonsense: style made easy!

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of No nonsense for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

If there is a fashion item that I mostly wear almost every day, it’s Leggings!

Leggings are one of my staples. I love wearing leggings because they are super comfortable and they keep me warm too. I have lots of leggings and most of them are solid black. But I also have some patterned and textured leggings in my collection.

I usually wear leggings with longer tops such as tunics or over-sized tee. My only rule on wearing basic leggings is: Do Not Wear Them as Pants. That means: do not style them as if you would style your pants, such as wearing them with short/cropped tops. For me, leggings are not pants, so I always wear them with longer tops that fall below the hip or mid-thigh. I was excited to put this knowledge to good use when No nonsense sent me a pair of tights and leggings to style for this blog post.  They mailed a pair of black leggings and a pair of fishnet tights.

Here is what I wore with the No nonsense tights and leggings:

The best part about No nonsense tights and leggings is that not only you can find them at most mass retail stores but you can actually find them at food and drug stores as well! How convenient.  These are super affordable and that’s really important considering the fact that it’s a great idea to get several different colors for your wardrobe.

Martin is an Emmy Award-winning TV personality and co-author of the New York Times bestselling style guide “I Have Nothing to Wear!” She is also the New York Correspondent for Access Hollywood. Take a look at one in a series of online vignettes that show women how to wear the latest trends that include colored tights and essential leggings.

Primp & Prep with Hpnotiq!

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Hpnotiq for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

I always always love having a girl's night out. In fact, I can never get enough of them. Initially, it's nice to take a break from work and everyday life and just relax and enjoy a girl's night out with a girlfriend.

Well, if you enjoy a girl's night out as much as I do, you might enjoy heading over to Hpnotiq and checking out their site.  Their Primp & Prep site is a great source to keep you up to date on fashion, beauty, music, celebrity gossip etc. Primp & Prep is all about getting together with your girlfriends for a night out.  This one stop hub on Hpnotiq’s website has some great at home cocktails and drink recipes. You will also find some great style, latest trends and makeup tips to help you look and feel like a celebrity when you go out. I also loved the humorous sections like when Autocorrect causes unintentional breakups!  Gotta love that autocorrect function, right?

You can also filter out what you don't want to see. Just want to see beauty tips and dating FAILs? Just uncheck all the other categories. My favorite feature of the site is the drink recipes.  Such pretty and colorful cocktails to enjoy on a relaxing evening or yes, on a girl's night out!

Music and dancing are also a big part of the Hpnotiq website and under the Primp & Prep tab on their homepage you will find a Pandora music player.  The hair down music up! tab lets you listen to popular dance songs while getting ready to go out. There is nothing like a little mood music before hitting the town with your girlfriends!

Miracle-Gro and the Gardenieres!

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Miracle-Gro for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

This week I was introduced to an awesome site powered by Home Depot and Miracle-Gro called the Gardenieres.

The Gardenieres are a select group of garden enthusiasts that were hand-picked and lead by master gardener, William Moss.

Find beauty in the Fall

This fall, the gardenieres will be covering the country, inspiring us all to get out and garden. They will help people on-line and in social media networks and even in our own neighborhoods!

 

You can check out this site or their YouTube channel for all kinds of helpful videos based on their own gardening experiences. You can also chat with them on Miracle-Gro Facebook page if you have any questions or encounter unique challenges in your gardening project.

 

One project that I am very interested in taking on is growing my own tomatoes. William Moss, the host of Gardenieres, provides educational and informational tips on how to make the most out of your tomato plants. I'm a big tomato eater, and that can be somewhat costly if I purchase them at the local grocery store. I could save quite a bit of money if I grew tomatoes myself!

 

For this project, the Miracle-Gro products needed is Miracle-Gro Potting Mix:

Miracle-Gro Potting Mix does exactly what the name implies.  It holds the water until the plants need it and then releases just the right amount.  I love this stuff because it keeps even moisture in the soil which most plants love. Unless you are growing cacti this is the stuff for containers.  Everyone knows how quickly a container dries out, especially in the heat of summer.  With this you water less frequently and still get amazing plants.  It’s not a personal gardener though; you do still have to water, just not as often.  Perfect for just about any plant, like I said.  Try it, you'll love it.

Save for Back-to-School with Famous Footwear 15% off + BOGO (Buy One, Get One Half Off)

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Famous Footwear for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

I have 2 kids in school. Now, I knew two kids in school versus one was going to be more expensive (heck, school tuition doubled), but I didn't realize how much more everything goes up. Double the hot lunch, double the school supplies, etc. That is why I look for things like this BOGO + 15% off Famous Footwear Coupon. I am very picky when it comes to my kids needs. Shoes should be comfortable to wear at school, PRICE and durability is also to be considering so the only store that I can think off when this time comes is the Famous Footwear store. When you shop for new shoes at Famous Footwear for back-to-school between NOW and August 18th, you will receive 15% off your purchase; plus when you buy one pair of shoes, you’ll get a second pair for half off. But the savings don’t end there… When you join the Famous Footwear FREE Rewards Program, you will unlock even more savings, such as receiving 20% off your purchase of back-to-school shoes instead of 15%.

Other benefits of the Famous Footwear FREE Rewards Program include:

• Earn 1 point for every $1 you spend in-store or online

You can also order shoes online at www.famous.com and have them shipped to your favorite store for pick-up at no charge.

Try AstroBrights and get noticed!

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Astrobrights Papers by Neenah Paper for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

I've been using AstroBrights papers for about 10 years now, mostly for flyers in college and such. I purchased them this time around for silent auction bid sheets. They are high quality and come in vibrant colors. My favorite (and seemingly most effective) is the Terra Green, followed by their Orange and Yellow colors. The neon just seems to pop and get people's attention. Plus, the green is incredibly unique; I have seldom seen anyone use anything close to it. I don't know what else I can say about paper other than this is wonderful and I'll continue to buy it.

AstroBrights has 23 Bright colors so when you make your invitations, flyers, announcements or brochure yours will be the one that gets noticed! You will get everyone's attention with the colors that you choose no matter what the occasion. They are perfect for projects at home, school or the office. Scrapbooking would also look great with all the colors. You could make a page for each person with their favorite color! The paper is also thicker so it will not fold and fade like the other papers that you might be using.

 

How would you use these great colors?  If you have some ideas of your own you should definitely consider the "Make Something Astrobright" design challenge. Share your ideas at the Astrobrights community on Facebook, Pinterest and Twitter. Use the hashtag #goastrobrights and prepare to be inspired by the great ideas you will see there as well.

Also, be sure to support your local elementary school by entering the "Give a Brighter Year" sweepstakes. You can win a cash prize and school supplies valued at $30,000 for the school of your choice.  That's a prize most schools would love to win.  It’s easy to enter, just visit the Astrobrights Facebook page and fill out the entry form.

 

So what are you waiting for, go get creative with AstroBrights papers!

The Main Falls (largest)

 

This one is the largest waterfalls and is usually the most crowded.

I ♥ Chema's by the Sea

A great day-tour at Chema's by the sea...

I love how Summer makes me feel, like anything is possible, or like life is worth it.

Boys were having fun on their very impressive white sand. So smooth and even.

The water is very clear, no weeds, and super refreshing.

 Chema's infinity pool - shadowed by trees around it and with a net right above it, thus, no leaves on the water :)

Get your #CoronaRita on!

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Chili’s Grill & Bar for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

Cinco De Mayo is coming up and the weather is getting warmer as we near summertime!  Do you have plans for it yet?  I couldn't think of a better plan to head to Chili's for a girls night out!

Do you love your Margarita so much that you want to buy it a beer? The CoronaRita at Chili’s is their newest margarita, ice cold beer and salty/sweet margarita. It takes adding a lime to your beer to a whole new level, made with Jose Cuervo Especial Tequila and an adorable little Coronita. It is like a perfect marriage of lime, beer and tequila all wrapped into one.

My mouth is watering right now just thinking about one! Right now you can check out the new CoronaRita at Chili's and start your Cinco de Mayo celebration a little early.

Chili’s is your go-to place for great food and drinks!

My family and friends absolutely love Chili’s and our local Chili’s is only 10 minutes away from my home. We love going there for family dinners or any celebration we might be having. My family loves good juicy hamburgers and Chili’s makes some of the best ones! We love getting their sliders and sharing them or we love their Big Mouth Bites Meal which is super tasty and very filling! I can never eat the entire meal and always bring home some leftovers. They are super good! The most mouth-water menu item that I want to try is the Margarita Grilled Chicken because it comes with citrus-flavored grilled chicken, black beans, and rice and pico de gallo. The plate also comes with tortilla strips, but I’m not sure if the tortilla is made of corn or flour. 

Whether you are looking for a fun place to celebrate Cinco de Mayo or you just want to celebrate the coming of summer Chili’s can be a really fun time.

Don't forget to leave a comment if you try the new CoronaRita at Chili's.

Our Huge House

Guest post written by my buddy Bernardo Graham

My husband and I have moved every two years for the last ten years. At first it was because we were renting and would get sick of a place. Then we started having kids and needed more space all the time. I never thought I would have four children, but here I am with a large family. We just moved into what I hope will be our permanent home. I can’t see needing more space than six bedrooms. We want to take good care of our new home and make sure that we can be happy here for a long time. We did a bunch of repairs before we moved in, and we are putting on the finishing touches now. The house is so big that I know we will need wireless internet lowellso everyone can stay connected. We still need to have the kids pick out the colors they want their walls painted, so that should be fun. I am sure they will want to change them again in a few years, but by then they will probably need a touch up anyways.

Miracle-Gro® Expand ‘n Gro™ Review

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Scotts® for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

A few years ago I decided to start a small vegetable garden. I bought a book from an "expert" telling how to build an above ground garden and how to buy all different types of soil and manure, etc that were "supposed to" produce healthy plants and vegetables. Well, it didn't!

I tried buying different things on my own (including regular potting soil mixes) and even though I use a good fertilizer (as recommended) I didn't have much luck with my garden.

Last January I found Miracle-Gro® Expand ‘n Gro™ Concentrated Planting Mix and was really impressed. The soil is rich and easy to work with.

Here's a YouTube video explaining how to properly use this product:

I planted tomatoes and they went crazy! Every day (during the season) my Son and I would pick several delicious, big tomatoes. They were so good! My cucumber really liked the soil too! I had more tomatoes than we could eat so I ended up making homemade stewed tomatoes for the freezer. I did this on a couple of different occasions. I never dreamed my garden could produce this well and the only change I made was the soil. This Miracle-Gro Expand ‘n Gro product yields 3x's the flowers and vegetables that you would get with just native soil. It significantly improves your soil for multiple years. This concentrated planting mix expands up to 3x's when water is added. It feeds for up to 6 months. And all natural fibers hold up to 50% more water than basic potting soil. All of these benefits mean that you use less soil, which is a huge money saver in the long run. What an amazing product!

Expand ‘n GroTM is available at Amazon.com and also at lawn and garden retailers in the Midwest, Northeast and Texas. Please visit expandngro.com for in-store availability information and free sample.
