Super Bowl Notebook: Has TV Become 'The Second Screen'? Article

So I read this great article about TV watching and all the new ways we would rather watch things. With all the different screen options we don't always choose to watch stuff on TV and instead of talking about it the next day we live tweet and Facebook about the show while we are watching it. I don't even have television service because I can watch everything I want on my computer the day after it airs. I literally watch every show the CW has and watch them all online. Everything I watch on one site or another but when I was a kid/teen I watched TV all the time in prime time and had to be in front of the TV at a specific time. I love the freedom of watching what I want where I want it and who knows maybe we won't even have televisions in the future because people would rather use other services like Netflix and Amazon Instant Video and there are always free sites where you can watch shows too. Check out this great article on #BurrusBlog here https://www.linkedin.com/today/influencer/48342529-Daniel-Burrus and then tell me your thoughts and opinions about how you watch shows.

Polly Plastics Silicone Molding Putty Review


I've always like the idea of being able to create molds and when I saw this product and how easy it was to use I wanted to try it. You get two containers of molding putty, A which is white and B which is Blue. Since you mix equal parts of each one together you shouldn't run out of one before the other which is great. It makes great molds that you can re-use many times by just forming the putty around whatever it is you want to replicate. This product is great for making soap molds and candle molds. With this you are able to create your own soaps and candles which are to your liking and you can keep the molds after you have made your product. I have not tried this for antique furniture repair but anything you can fix or repair instead of replacing is a great way to save money in my opinion. There are many other types of castings you can make including plastics, waxes, clays and you could even make your own jewelry or repair a piece you have. It's a great durable product made in the USA, is fast curing, non-toxic and odor free. It needs to kept away from children for safety and shouldn't be used for anything that would have food contact. The money back guarantee offered is great in case your not totally satisfied with the product. Overall I think it's a great idea and it's letting me try my hand at making my own soap, candles and jewelry so I'm happy with it. I did receive this free or discounted in exchange for an honest review but all thoughts and opinions are my own. #PollyPlastics http://www.amazon.com/Polly-Plastics-Silicone-Molding-Putty/dp/B018B4A6X2/ref=sr_1_16_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1452816081&sr=8-16&keywords=silicone+mold+putty

Detangling Brush By Miss Landson

If your kids are anything like mine they hate having their hair brushed because of knots and tangles. This Detangling Brush helps with that because it's made to separate the hair sideways instead of down so its not pulling the hair out and hurting your head. The bristles feel very nice and don't make your head hurt but instead they increase circulation which could actually help increase hair growth. With regular brushes I would have a piles of hair when I was done that I basically ripped out of my daughters hair and between her crying and refusing to let me brush her hair it was a miserable experience for both of us.

I love that you can use this brush on any type of hair and it helps make your hair look shiny and smooth too. I really like that you can use it wet or dry and also how it minimizes split ends and breakage for better looking and healthier hair. I experience a lot of breakage and split ends and if I can do something to help it I try it. The pink color is nice and it's easy for me and my daughter to use. I love that she actually lets me brush her hair now and that we can get it done without all the fighting, crying and yelling. It would be nice to see this in different color options. Overall I am satisfied with my purchase and they also offer a money back guarantee in case you don't. I did receive this product for free or discounted in exchange for an honest and unbiased review. #MissLandson Check out this great product here http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0184NFZJK

Crowdsourcing Your Innovation Article

I read this great article about crowdsourcing today and found it pretty interesting. NASA actually invited people from freelancer.com to help them solve some of their more complex problems. Inviting people to help and share their ideas makes them feel good and also like they are helping the greater good. Apparently there were over 3,300 entries wanting to work with NASA. I think it's a great idea because sometimes after you've spent so much time working on a problem you can't come up with something new. Letting other people take a look at a problem with "fresh eyes" can help tremendously. Take an old case file at the police station and give it to someone who hasn't been over it yet and get there take on it because you never know what they may come up with. I think it's nice when people can admit they don't know everything and asking others for help is better for everyone. People care more about something if they have input and if you can't figure out the problem there's no harm in letting someone else take a chance. I agree with compensation but honestly I totally agree that people would love the bragging rights of saying "Hey I got to help NASA with a project". Take a look at this article and how Daniel Burrus predicted that crowdsourcing would be a thing 16 years ago. #BurrusBlog https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/crowdsourcing-your-innovation-daniel-burrus?trk=mp-reader-card

High Performance Bike Floor Pump

I have been searching for the perfect bike pump for awhile that was reasonably priced for my kids bikes. When I saw this and all the things you can pump up with it I was so excited. This High Performance Bike Floor Pump is perfect for many things. It will pump your bike tires but also basketballs, footballs, exercise balls and many others. It has two valves on the end so you can easily switch from one to the other and no leaks. You also get a bonus emergency puncture kit so if your out and have a problem your not stranded. It inflates to 160 PSI thanks to the steel barrel and reinforced handle it will work for most any tire. The guage is accurate and easy to read thanks to its larger size. You get a 15 year warranty which is much longer than any other guarantee for this type of product. I love how easy it is to use and that I can use it on all the bike and scooter tires for my kids bikes and my own. The connection is great so your not wasting time and energy with a leaky pump and its lightweight and easy to transport. There is a great storage clip that holds the bonus valves for sports balls and it has a wide foot bottom which is great if you have larger feet. I love this all in one Floor Pump and being able to inflate everything with it and not having multiple devices that take up space is a huge plus. Overall it's a great high quality product and with the great warranty you get there's no reason not to purchase it. I love this and highly recommend this to everyone!

Connected Objects Will Become Your New Problem Article

So I was reading this article called "Connected Objects Will Become Your New Problem" and it made me stop and think about how many devices in my house alone are connected to the internet and all the devices that could be connected to the internet. Between the televisions, game systems, cell phones, laptops, tablets, my kids both have things that connect to the internet too. That's a lot of personal and private information that could be leaked for everyone to see. Anything that connects to the internet needs some type of security so that you stay safe. We should all think more about our internet connected devices and take a few minutes to check out this great article here https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/connected-objects-become-your-new-problem-daniel-burrus?trk=mp-reader-card #BurrusBlog

Natural Eco Friendly Body Scrub Gloves Review

I was chosen to review these through Tomoson a great site that lets you try products for free or discounted in exchange for a review. I found these Natural Eco Friendly Body Scrub Gloves and they are the only ones I have seen that offer a pack like this. Not only does it include the gloves but you get a printed in-depth guide about the gloves and in multiple languages. You also get a free Thermalabs Finger Exfoliator. The green and white glove is made of Natural Bamboo Fiber and Loofah Mitt Fiber and is a great exfoliating glove that soft at the same time and great for dry skin and works on all skin types. The brown glove is a Natural Jute Mitt which is made of softer and silkier material so its great for sensitive skin because you can avoid the irritation of too much scrubbing. The brown one is my favorite because it's great for my skin when it's feeling more sensitive but gives me a great clean feeling. The tan and white glove is a rougher, sturdier exfoliating glove that's very good at removing dead skin cells for normal skin types. The tan and white one is great for a great weekly cleaning of all that excess dead skin and really giving you a great exfoliation.

I love that you get the all three of these great gloves for a totally great clean and also that they can be used wet or dry. These gloves are great for exfoliating and gibing me soft silky skin that makes me feel good and also look good. I can't say I have compared the guarantees on other gloves but offering a 1 full year guarantee for these gloves sounds awesome! There are so many benefits to these gloves some I already mentioned but they also unclog pores, stimulate blood circulation, and reduce the growth of body hair which as a woman I definitely appreciate. Overall I am satisfied with these gloves and am so glad I now have them. With these I feel like I can have my own in house spa day every weekend and being able to get a great clean and also relax is important for your overall health.
