Lives Up To Its Title, October 30, 2015
Wonderland by Steve Aoki is an excellent medley of avant-garde club/electronic hits from various artists. There are brilliant songs on Wonderland such as Ladi Dadi (feat. Wynter Gordon)and Earthquakey People (feat. Rivers Cuomo). Wonderland is also good if you are familiar with any of Steve Aoki’s previous music.

Electronica Party, October 30, 2015
Musique Vol. 1 (1993-2005) by Daft Punk contains a pristine music collection of electronic hits such as Harder Better Faster Stronger, Robot Rock, and One More Time. I admit that I forgot which song I first heard by them, yet I at least remember hearing Around The World by Daft Punk back around 2001/2002 when I was still in Japan and I eventually made the connection (as with many others) that Kanye West’s Stronger is inspired by Daft Punk’s Harder Faster Stronger (not that there is anything wrong with that especially since I’m guessing West probably got permission to sample Harder Faster Stronger by Daft Punk for his Stronger song).

A Melodic Hug?, October 30, 2015

Queen of Hearts Dance Music?, October 30, 2015

However, her singing makes some of the other songs even more luminous such as with the music tracks such as Promises (Sebastian Krieg&Roman F mix), Crash and Burn (DJ Shah Magic Island Mix) and Love Story.

Mattress From My Mother-In-Law, October 25, 2015
This Lucid 10 Inch Memory Foam Mattress-(Dual Layered Certi Pur US Certified Queen Size) is extremely comfortable. I’m so grateful that my husband and I got this mattress from my mother-in-law because this mattress is extremely soft and cushioned in a way to where it is effortlessly easier to fall asleep and provides sturdy support on my back. Of course, my husband enjoys sleeping on this mattress as well (one of the reasons pertaining to the mattress being spring-free and provides a supportive foundation without being too solid).

Novel Vintage Rock, October 25, 2015
Never Mind The Mainstream; The Best of MTV’s 120 Minutes Vol. 1 contains a unique and outstanding blend of 80’s/early 90’s rock music with hits such as Higher Ground by Red Hot Chili Peppers, Under The Milky Way by The Church, Dear God by XTC, and I Melt With You by Modern English etc.. Never Mind The Mainstream; The Best of MTV’s 120 Minutes Vol. 1 also sounds like a music mix that could have made it on the 1991 movie Point Break (which features Patrick Swayze,Keanu Reeves,Gary Busey, Lori Petty, John McGinley,James LeGros, and a cameo by Anthony Kiedis of the Red Hot Chili Peppers).

If You Like Girls Aloud, Little Mix, Fifth Harmony Etc,, October 25, 2015
The music collection of Finest Selection The Greatest Hits by The Saturdays contain the perfect blend of dance, pop, and club music. The Saturdays do both musical collaborations satisfactorily with tunes such as What About Us feat. Sean Paul and Higher Feat. Flo Rida. They also do brilliantly on their own with hits such as Not Giving Up On Love. What I enjoy about the music on this cd is the overall optimistic music vibe such as the Not Giving Up On Love tune.

Get Wet by Krewella contains a mix of club and electronic music hits. Many people may know this group by the Feel Alive song, and other hits within Get Wet by Krewella include Killin It, Enjoy The Ride, and Live For The Night.

Definitive 80’s Pop/Dance, October 25, 2015
Exposure (Deluxe Edition) by Expose contains an abundant selection of dance/pop hits. I admit that I’m familiar with some of the music from Expose because of being exposed to hits such as Come Go With Me around the time I was 7 years old (I would playfully imagine myself as a singer during this time when I was singing this and other sings). Anyhow, there are so many other memorable pop dance hits on Exposure (Deluxe Edition) by Expose such as Let Me Be The One and Point Of No Return.

From The Breakfast Bar Section At My Job, October 25, 2015
These Nature Valley Breakfast Biscuits (Honey flavored 5 pouches of 4 biscuits, 1.77 ounce per pouch) have a slight hint of honey taste without being too sugary. I also liked the crunchy texture. These are the type of breakfast biscuits that are good as standalone treats or with some drink such as hot cocoa.

A good mix for those who like dance and/or pop music from the early 2000’s era (2000-2010).

 How Weight Loss Changes A Woman and Those Around Her, October 23, 2015
My Mom’s New Boyfriend centers around how both the life of a woman and her son change in a span of just a few years. Henry Durand (Colin Hanks) eventually joins the FBI and becomes shocked when he does not recognize his mother Martha Durand (Meg Ryan) who completely changed on both the outside as well as the inside once she lost a significant amount of weight. With her thinner body and increased self-confidence, Martha Duran decides to now call herself Marty and has an improved outlook on life. Marty (Meg Ryan) is enjoying considerable good luck in good fortune in her love life via attracting multiple suitors (including an Italian chef and a young college student) since losing weight. Marty is even enjoying an auspicious/affluent lifestyle in her financial life due to shrewd investments she made with her money in the stock market. Both her son Henry Durand and his fiancée Emily Lott (Selma Blair) are fascinated by Marty’s new outlook. However, Henry Durand becomes concerned for his mother once Tommy Lucero (Antonio Banderas) enters her life. Both Marty and Tommy Lucero mutually fall in love with each other, but Marty’s son Henry does have reason to be concerned for his mother. One scriptwriting element that I enjoy about the film My Mom’s New Boyfriend is that it capture’s a character’s metamorphosis as she gains a thinner body and a different outlook on life (which is a big deal to me because movies featuring women who have successfully lost weight are rare for understandable reasons around body costumes, makeup, screenwriting elements etc.). I also enjoyed how the scriptwriting in My Mom’s New Boyfriend captured how the characters in Marty’s life acted in regards to her weight loss (Marty’s son Henry, Henry’s fiancée Emily, and Marty’s boyfriend Tommy upon seeing some of her photos before she lost the weight and manifested her thin body). My Mom’s New Boyfriend is a movie also suitable for those who enjoy comedy films that take a humor type of spin on the FBI/CIA.

Spiritual Club Music?, October 23, 2015
Anjunabeats Vol. 10 by Above & Beyond contains a varied chillout, trance, and electronic music mix on this compilation feat. various artists. I was overjoyed to here Home (Genix Remix)again even with a different version from when I first heard it on their Tristate collection (which I purchased back in June 2007). I enjoy the song Home due to a reason different from what most people think. Contrary to how I may appear to many, I’m actually very comfortable in my skin, my racial backgrounds, and even see the good within myself even as I’m in the process of increasing my self-love around my physical appearance and growing wisdom/intelligence. However, Home resonates with me because for me it is a tune about finding a sense of belonging and community even with my new age/occult beliefs and working towards increasing my self-confidence/self-appreciation (I have been fortunate to come across people who were willing to welcome me to their group despite my level of self-confidence but with the caveat that I give up my belief in past lives/reincarnation and give up my belief that even the most evil of souls do not have to permanently stay In a hellish afterlife and can eventually ascend to higher more heavenly realms and/or reincarnate back on earth). There are so many other brilliant songs on Anjuna Beats Vol. 10 by Above & Beyond such as England, Inception, Alchemy, Walter White, Believe In Me, Liquid Love etc. As another person online implied in a similar way, metaphorically speaking, Anjunabeats Vol. 10 by Above & Beyond sounds like a compilation that would be played in a music dance club in a heavenly afterlife (imaginatively speaking).

From The Cereal Aisle Of My Job, October 23, 2015
This Celestial Seasonings Fruit Tea Sampler (18 Tea Bags 1.4 ounce 40 grams) contains a delectable blend of Raspbaerry Zinger, Country Peach Passion, Wild Berry Zinger, True Blueberry, and Black Cherry Berry flavors. I enjoy each of the flavors within this Celestial Seasonings Tea pack set yet I’m pleasantly surprised how much I enjoy the Country Peach Passion, Black Cherry Berry, and the True Blueberry flavors. I usually just prepare the tea by putting some tap water in a coffee cup in my apartment microwave for three minutes either with the tea bag in the coffee cup so that the flavor can seep in the water as it is microwaving or sometimes I can also just put the tea bag in the water after it has been microwaved for three minutes and sometimes heat it for just one more minute (in case I left the water in the microwave a long time to do other things etc.). Either way, these Celestial Seasonings Fruit Tea Sampler (18 Count) tea packs can also be enhanced with a little honey in the heated tea.

Anyhow, Now That’s What I Call Music 31 is a substantial music collection for eclectic music lovers because of the mix of music genres and artists/groups on Now 31.

Fusion of Futuristic Electronic and Dance, October 23, 2015
Monstercat 022-Contact is an electronic and discopop/house pop/futuristic pop compilation of various artists that run the gamut from the song The Difference Between Us and Aliens by Stephen Walking and Genesis by Protostar. What I enjoy the most about this compilation of Monstercat 022-Contact featuring various artists is the distinctive music found within this collection. From my perspective, Monstercat 022-Contact sounds like some music that could probably feature within some sci-fi fantasy story within a sci-fi themed party song and/or some sc-fi/futuristic tv episode featuring elements of a heavenly utopia and/or cartoon setting of some characters preparing for an upcoming event.

Ayah Marar, Live For The Night by Krewella, Atmosphere by Kaskade, Boneless by Steve Aoki Chris Lake & Tuajmo, and the sixth song being Legacy by Nicky Romero feat. Krewella.

Classic Rock Beats, October 23, 2015
The Essential Toto by Toto is another great collection for those who like 80’s music mixed with elements of classic rock because of their hits such as Hold The Line, Rosanna, Africa, and Pamela (which surprisingly I admit that I did not hear for the first time until 2008 when I was living in Norfolk, Virginia). There are also other fantastic songs within the collection of The Essential Toto by Toto that are not featured on certain radio stations (as far as I know such as Georgy Porgy, 99, I’ll Supply The Love etc).

Blow The Roof by Flux Pavilion has multiple songs on this collection that have a house music and electronic beat. As mentioned in many of my previous reviews, I enjoy listening to Pandora radio and iheart radio (in addition to regular radio) for the widest range of music. However, I admit that I would not have heard of unique music by this artist had it not been for Pandora. I first of Flux Pavilion’s music from the I Still Can’t Stop melody. However, there are other great house and electronic songs on Blow The Roof by Flux Pavilion such as One, Two, Three and Starlight.

However, there are also other memorable hits on The Ultimate Collection by The Eurythmics available in this compilation that are not played as often on some radio stations such as “There Must Be An Angel.”

Food Lover’s Guide to Virginia; The Best Restaurants, Markets, & Local Culinary Offerings by Lorraine Eaton & Jim Haig is a guide to the various regions of Virginia mainly outside of the Northern Virginia area is a book good for Virginia prospective tourists and/or Virginia relocatees (whether 30 months or more from now or less time than that). For anyone looking at culinary destionations of Northern Virginia, good website resources would be the websites and publications connected to such companies as Northern Virginia magazine, Washingtonian magazine, and/or The Washington Post. Anyhow, Food Lover’s Guide to Virginia; The Best Restaurants, Markets, & Local Culinary Offerings by Lorraine Eaton & Jim Haig contains among the following;
A Micro Café Called the Dancing Tomato In Virginia Beach Virginia (starts on page 44)
The Tale of Three Chickens; The Listing of Three Chicken Restaurants in Portsmouth Virginia (Golden Skillet), Moseberth’s Fried Chicken (Portsmouth Virginia), and pollard’s Chicken (Norfolk Virginia) (pages 78-79),

Affordable Soup and Delish, October 18, 2015
This 15.5 ounce container of Campbell’s Slow Kettle Style Sweet Tomato Bisque (Tomato & Sweet Basil Mix)is scrumptious and cooks pretty quickly. Additionally, this soup has the right amount of sweetness with a robust tomato flavor. I’m grateful that the place of my overnight job carries this because nights like tonight I do not feel like cooking and would much prefer having something that can be ready in less than 10 minutes when having more time to myself to relax before leaving for work. This Campbell’s Slow Kettle Style Sweet Tomato Bisque fits the bill because it is ready around 2 minutes via a microwave. I’m guessing that this Campbell’s Slow Kettle Style Sweet Tomato Bisque can be a standalone meal with pairing it with just bread and better. However, for me I admit to having this soup with Bar S Classic Corn Dogs dipped in honey batter (which my husband was able to have some corndogs ready for me within just 3 minutes) which paired perfectly with this Campbell’s Slow Kettle Style Sweet Tomato Bisque (Tomato & Sweet Basil mix)tomato soup.

More Than It Appears, October 17, 2015
The More Than Just A Dream Music Collection by Fitz and the Tantrums contains indelible indie rock music that touches on aspects of love with such songs as Out Of My League, and the acceptance of being unique with The Walker. I was actually going to go to a concert that they held in my area last year on my birthday (I was even approved to get if off from work) and my husband was even going to come along, but the concert was sold out. Getting a chance to hear the dazzling music from this collection I can understand why (such as with the music and vocals in Spark).

From The Bakery Aisle At My Job, October 17, 2015
This 10 ounce bag of Andes' Creme De Menthe Baking Chips is perfect for baking into brownies or even as a small standalone snack. What I enjoy the most about the Andes Crème De Menthe Baking Chips is that they add a velvety and smooth minty to taste to whatever treat they are baked with. Today, I mixed these with the Betty Crocker Supreme Cookie Brownie Mix and the mint flavor great enhanced the flavor of the brownies. Previously, I had only known about the Andes Crème De Menthe candies because of being offered them as a complimentary post meal treat at Olive Garden. However, I truthfully did not know that they were also sold as a baking addition until I saw them at my job.

This is a perfect creamer if you have tried any of the Land O Lakes butters before (due to the cream and butter taste in the creamers reminiscent of the Land O Lakes butters).

If You Like Supperclub Themed or Dinner Party Theme Shows/Movies, October 15, 2015
I admit that I have only got two episodes into Season 1 of Rocco’s Dinner Party hosted by Rocco DiSpirito but I intend to post another update by Christmas at the latest (ideally a few days before that once I watched the remaining episodes). However, just from the two episodes that I watched so far I have gleaned the following details; Episode 1 of Rocco’s Dinner Party has a Speakeasy Dinner Party Theme. The 3 chefs that feature in the first episode are; Geoff Johnson who proclaims himself a Jersey Boy and is a chef at the restaurant Copperfish on Broadway. At the time of the filming of Season 1 of Rocco’s Dinner Party Geoff Johnson had worked as a chef for 19 years and considers cooking akin to being a composer conducting a music orchestra except instead of composing music he is composing via his cooking (reluctantly I admit that I might have mixed up what he originally said on that episode). Britt Kurent lives in New York City and is the Owner of Kurent Event Catering. J.J Johnson is an executive Sous Chef for an executive dining facility. The episodes also feature Celebrity Event Producer (Event Planner) Jes Gordon. The winner gets $20,000 for throwing the best dinner party. The following are some of the celebrity/famous guests from this episode; Michael Kenneth Williams Actor HBO’s Boardwalk Empire, Kelly Choi Host & Producer Eat out New York, Christine Ebersole Tony Award Winning Actress , Bryan Batt Interior Decorator and an actor who was featured in the Mad Men television series, Bill McCudy Media Critic [...], Marcus Samuelsson Top Chef Masters Champion & Owner Red Rooster. J.J. had just ate at the Red Rooster a few days before which was a pleasant surprise to him the Marcus Samuelsson was one of the Dinner Part Guests. Geoff’s Sinner Party meals included; Chili Seared Scallop Sweet Potato Bisque with Cactus Pear Grand Marnier and Cactus Pear Confit-Wild Black Cod Yellow Split Pea Pilaf & Carrot Puree-Braised Short Ribs Pureed Roasted Cauliflower & Sauteed Brussell Sprouts-Geoff’s dessert was Crème Brulee Napoleon Vanilla Bean Custard Cinnamon Phyllo & Sugar Tuille. J.J’s Dinner Party consisted of; Shrimp & Grits Jalapeno Scallion Emulsion-Wild Mushroom Salad Frissee & Ricotta Sala-Braised Oxtail Carrot Ginger Puree & Brussell Sprouts-Christine Ebersole had a vegetarian version that consisted of Cauliflower & Baby Beets Carrot Ginger Puree & Brussel Sprouts. J.j’s dessert was Banana bread pudding spiced walnuts and Chantilly cream. Episode 2 of Rocco’s Dinner Party consisted of contestants King Phojanakong who owns two restaurants and is both one of the chefs/owners of two restaurants; Kuma Inn and Umi Nom. Phojanakong mentioned that his mother is from the Phillipines and his father was from Thailand. He learned much of his cooking during vacations to I think what he said was the Phillipines (once again I could have unintentionally mixed it up and he might have said something else). Contestant Michelle Karam is a private chef who runs the business Dishes by Michelle. Karam is from Los Angeles California and cooks a lot for affluent families who rent out exclusive homes just for the weekend due to them usually just staying for the weekend. She mentioned that she is married with three children. Contestant Joel Gargano is listed to be a full time Culinary teacher at West Haven High School in Bramford Connecticut. The Dinner Party Theme for Episode 2 is Mystery Guest. The following are some of the facts listed on the guests;This guest’s favorite place to visit is Bali and favorite city to live in is Rome Italy (but they are not Italian). Another guest loves fresh ingredients, theme flavors, and food in its natural state. Another guest is a star in the Culinary community (guesses were Marcus Samuellson, Anthony Bourdain, someone even guessed Sarah Jessica Parker). Another guest said that choosing a favorite spice is like choosing a favorite child. The guests at the dinner party turned out to be; Mary Alice Stephenson Style and Beauty Expert, Bebel Gilberto Brazilian Singer/Songwriter-Gilles Mendel fashion designer-Cindi Leive Editor In Chief Glamour magazine.- D.L. Hughley Comedian and Actor- and Padma Lakshmi Host, Top-Chef.

Vintage and Classic Alternative Rock, October 15, 2015
Dreams by The Cranberries is a powerful 90’s rock song that is both stirring and healing to the soul. Fighting the Urge to Look Up The Meaning to the Song, Dreams is about coming to terms with multiple changes happening in someone’s life while appreciating a person who occupies a large place in your heart (metaphorically). I recently enjoyed hearing Dreams by The Cranberries on iheartradio because it is not played as often on the radio where I currently live I completely understand that this song could mean something completely different from what I’m guessing it is but for me the song reminds me of my husband in a benevolent way. This is because he has helped me add even more brighter colors (metaphorically speaking) to my life and has helped me appreciate life even more just by his example of how he sees the positive benefits in certain things that would test even the strongest of souls. Hence, when the lead singer of Cranberries sings you’re a dream to me it reminds me of how I have told this to my husband before (just in slightly different words). Overall, Dreams by Cranberry is both an elevating and novelty type of rock song.
