The Originals: The Complete Second Season Giveaway US

Just in time for the season three premiere on The CW, Warner Bros. Home Entertainment will release The Originals: The Complete Second Season on Blu-ray and DVD September 1st. Season Two is also available to purchase on Digital HD. Averaging nearly 2.2 million viewers weekly, The Originals is one of The CW’s top shows this season. Fans can get sucked in all over again on all 22 one-hour episodes from season two, plus over an hour of gripping extras — including the 2014 Comic-Con panel, featurettes, behind the scenes, deleted scenes, and a gag reel. The Originals: The Complete Second Season will be available on DVD and on Blu-ray September 1, 2015.

As Original vampire-werewolf hybrid Klaus Mikaelson returned to the vibrant, supernaturally charged city of New Orleans in season one, he was stunned to learn — along with his siblings Elijah and Rebekah — that Hayley, a werewolf, was pregnant with his child, and his vampire protégé, Marcel, whom the Original siblings had thought long dead, was ruling the French Quarter. Soon, a bloody war escalated between vampires and witches — the stakes raised by powerful teenage witch Davina and by Klaus’s bond with Cami, a student with a painful past — and a ruthless pack of wolves seized the opportunity to stage a violent coup. Now, in season two, a new status quo must be adjusted to, as the newly empowered werewolves control the city. Klaus struggles with weaknesses as Elijah desperately tries to save Hayley — now a hybrid — from a vicious spiral of self-destruction. Meanwhile, with the re-emergence of several Mikaelsons, “family is power” takes on new meaning.

Exfoliate Your Body for Soft Skin with Dead Sea Mud Soap #soapdotclub

I heard so many good things about artisan soaps and their multiple benefits to the skin, so I decided to take time and try some new products from Soap.Club for myself. Soap.Club products made of natural and organic ingredients, no way to worry about getting irritated or itchy skin after using.From the wide variety of fragrances I chose Dead Sea Mud, because it looked an absolute luxury and I was looking for a gentle body exfoliation skin care.


Dead Sea Mud reminds me Dead Sea mud mask for face but now I can say I received a treat for the body. I like how this soap naturally exfoliated my skin, removing dead cells and making it look young (and I know I need that, aging is not very pleasant thing). I noticed that my skin became softer and tender without drying and getting “lemon” skin feeling. Usually after purifying and exfoliating, the skin looks bright and dry but not in my case. I think Dead Sea Mud soap perfectly fit any bath routine, since it is not only a great cleanser but also a natural purifier making my skin smooth. Dead Sea Mud soap gives a soft gentle lather and it lasts much longer than regular bar soaps.


If your skin is sensitive Soap.Club soaps are simply the best choice for irritated skin. The company offers their customers the ability to purchase their natural soaps online or through monthly membership service. They also make a perfect gift because each soap is individually wrapped, and the selection of scents is to any taste, just check them out.

Bath time has never been so wonderful if you add some beautiful scents. Soap.Club company offers a wide selection of hand made soaps using only natural and organic ingredients. Their products gentle on skin and have over 60 scents to offer their customers. In Soap.Club arsenal there are only natural and organic colorants, fragrances, essential and plant oils. Recently we received Surf’s Up Natural Soap from Soap.Club, it has refreshing, masculine scent and combines natural coconut & olive oil, shea butter and pure essential oils to provide an invigorating boost of energy and give a feeling of ocean breeze freshness.


My husband does not like bar soap much, mostly because they tend to finish fast for him. This Surf’s Up Natural Soap was like a trip to childhood for him when we all used bar soap but only they did not have this fantastic scent of ocean breeze. The soap makes soft gentle lather to clean the skin and moisturize at the same time. For my husband is very important to have soaps made of natural ingredients to avoid skin irritations and itchy skin. Plus he does not like strong scents and this Surf’s Up Natural Soap brings what he is looking for in soaps, nice scents and gentle cleansing.

Surf’s Up Natural Soap is pretty thick 3″x 3″x 1″ to last much longer and individually packed. I found it makes a perfect gift to a picky man in your life, I’d say that it is practical, good for health and unique since you choose the right scent. Available on-line and via Amazon, Soap.Club offers only premium quality bath & body products for everyone. Enjoy your bath time!

Follow Adventures of Favorite Fairytale Characters in The Seventh Dwarf DVD Giveaway CAN

For all animation fans and classic fairy-tale stories, The Seventh Dwarf , the highly the highly anticipated motion picture is coming out on DVD, Blu-ray 3D and digital via iTunes on August 18, 2015. I see that initially the story taken for from classic one Snow White got an absolutely new twist and making one more time to re-think that every character in the story is important and unique. 


The story takes us to the eve of Princess Rose’s 18th birthday ( I think the release on the 18th of August is not just a coincidence). Everyone in the kingdom has come to Fantabularasa Castle to celebrate including Snow White, the Seven Dwarfs, Cinderella and Red Riding Hood. But just before the stroke of midnight Bobo, the youngest dwarf, accidentally pricks the finger of Princess Rose (a.k.a. Sleeping Beauty) with a cursed needle and sends the kingdom into a century-long slumber! To find Rose’s true love Jack to save her with a kiss, Bobo and the other six dwarfs must go on a treacherous journey, face a fiery dragon and outwit the jealous, scheming and evil witch, Dellamorta!

While our little one loved watching this release, I think the story went through some modern upgrade, adding new features that now stories has shows and jokes which are quite sophisticated for young audience. Not everything is straightforward as bad characters are not that bad and good one sometime not so brave as used to be. One thing we loved for sure are the songs coming out very often. Our boy liked Bobo and how he was able to handle different tough situations. There is also a good team work in the movie. The quality of this CG-animated motion picture is amazing, we loved all characters and actions even though we watched just a DVD version.


The Seventh Dwarf DVD contains the following bonus features:

• Character Profiles 
• Sing-Alongs 
• Downloadable Royal Birthday Invitation 

Thanks to Shout! Factory, we are excited to giveaway a copy of The Seventh Dwarf to one lucky Canadian reader. The giveaway ends September 3, 2015.

Blood Pressure Measurement with SantaMedical Deluxe Aneroid Sphygmomanometer #AdultDeluxeAneroid

High blood pressure has no symptoms and you never know that you have a problem unless you measure one. When I was in hospital to give a birth to my child, my blood pressure was really high but I simply did not feel anything. My grandmother had a high blood pressure and I remember she always needed sphygmomanometer to measure one.


Blood pressure varies and depends on activities you take; it is the lowest when you are sleeping and higher when you exercise, it also changes at different times of the day. To get the right measure of brood pressure is better at home sometimes than at doctor’s office and pharmacy, because at home your body conditions pretty stable and you do not feel nervous or stressed about it.

For us it is very important to have a good quality tool to measure blood pressure, recently we had a chance to try SantaMedical Adult Deluxe Aneroid Sphygmomanometer from Gurin. It brings high accuracy results and made with quality materials talking about inflation bulb, blood pressure cuff. This type of sphygmomanometer is often used by health professionals. The only thing is that this set does not include the stethoscope so we need to borrow one to measure or take this sphygmomanometer with us. This Deluxe Aneroid Sphygmomanometer does not require any power or batteries to operate; in some cases we found it helpful. The set also includes zippered carry case. It is important that multiple measurements of a blood pressure need be made in order to gain an accurate reading.



While on the market there is a wide selection of modern monitors, my grandparents used to this type of device where all results are listed on a manometer. It takes time to learn how to properly measure blood pressure using this Deluxe Aneroid Sphygmomanometer at least for me, it looks easy at first glance but the hardest part is to place a stethoscope at the right spot, and then collect the results.

SantaMedical Adult Deluxe Aneroid Sphygmomanometer price is very affordable for this quality sphygmomanometer, around $20, it is listed on Amazon.com and Amazon.ca.

Growing Active Kids Tri-FUN Kids Triathlons #TriFUN

Triathlon for kids is a great way to learn about popular sports and take a part in it thanks to Tri-Fun Triathlon events taking place across Ontario in Vaughan, Milton, Mississauga and Oakville. This non-competitive race series give children an opportunity to become triathlon athletes for a day: bike, swim and run in one set, learn the rules and be winners just for participating.


Tri-Fun Triathlon race is well organized; there are lots of staff member and volunteers around to guide you in every step in your race. They are not only helpful but also encourage and support every child. This year is second one we decided to join Tri-FunTriathlon in Milton and it was very successful. It was great to see that more families and kids take a challenge this year to support a good cause. If last year Teddy was a little bit lost what to do and how, this year he was more focused on tasks and confident about himself.

At the beginning of the race every child receives a package at the Transition zone and a racing bib for identification. The first part - swimming was very easy for Teddy, he decided to swim on his back saying that way he can faster cross the pool distance 12.5 m. This part has to be done with a parent for younger children. Next step was biking, we run to our bike location to put on trainers and ride. On the way Teddy met lots of supportive fans and vigorously pushed the pedals to move forward.

The last step was running 100m towards the finish line. Since Teddy was in the youngest group (3 to 5 years old) and distance was not very long, he crossed the line very fast. Every athlete’s name was announced at the finish and all kids received medals for the completion of the race.


It was great experience for both parents and kids. Weeks before the triathlon race Teddy was very excited and was looking forward to participate. Even if he goes swimming or biking it is one side of activities, but when these activities in one set, it becomes more challenging and interesting. The feeling of accomplishment and confidence in own abilities are so important for young kids. We were very lucky and proud to participate in Milton Tri-Fun Triathlon race for children.


After the race the whole family headed to Tri-Fun Zone filled with activities for kids and adults like a jumping castle, Lego building station from Bricks4Kidz, healthy treats from Longos,  drinks from Melitta coffee and much more.

Last Tri-fun Triathlon race this year will be taking place in Oakville on August 23 and registration for this event already sold out. We are looking forward to 2016 schedule for more fun, games and valuable experience!

New Preschool Series Playdate from Sinking Ship Entertainment & DHX Television Airing This Fall

We love watching preschool programs, each one is unique and special, some are educational, another entertaining or both, but always bring smiles to children's faces and make kids happy. This fall we are looking forward to new preschool series called Playdate. It is a combination of live-action and puppets, what I think will be quite interesting to watch.


Sinking Ship Entertainment, recent recipients of three Daytime Emmy Awards, and DHX Television announced the production the new preschool series Playdate. A mix of live-action and the skilled puppeteering of Dina and Frank Meschkuleit, the series showcases the unexpected adventures Jacob and his friends’ stuffed animals encounter when they leave them alone. Playdate’s first season will see 13 half-hour episodes and is slated to premiere on DHX Television’s preschool channel which will be rebranded to Family Junior in Fall 2015.

“We’re always exploring new ways to connect with preschoolers and the notion that toys come to life when children aren’t looking is an enchanting and relatable premise for our audience,” said Michael Goldsmith, Director, Original Programming, DHX Television. “With the ample experience that Frank and Dina bring and with our award-winning production partners at Sinking Ship at the helm, we’re confident this series will capture the hearts of our young viewers and their families as they join the toys’ on their exciting escapades.” 

Every child believes their toys come to life when they’re not around and on Playdate, they really do! Meet Mac, Sammy, Priscilla and Buckie – the beloved stuffed animals of Jacob and his friends who venture out on their own playtime adventures when the children are away. They do their best to complete the kids’ playtime adventures but usually end up causing some kind of mess or chaos along the way. Since the kids can never know their toys come to life, Mac, Sammy, Priscilla and Buckie have to finish their escapades before the kids come back and make sure they’re exactly where they started off. Luckily, Norman, the family dog, makes the perfect fall guy for any of their hijinks.


Playdate stars Millie Davis (Odd Squad, Orphan Black) as Molly; Scarlett Dovey (This is Scarlett and Isaiah) as Gwen; and newcomers Aidan Wojtak-Hissong as Jacob and Nirvaan Kwan as Enzo. Commissioned by DHX Television, Playdate was created by Dina and Frank Meschkuleit.

Take Care of Your Joints with Colchicine #health

Gout or podagra is one of the oldest, known diseases. This condition represents reoccurring arthritis affecting different joints within a body. Back in the day, this sickness was very common for nobility and is connected with bad diet and excessive consumption of alcohol. Nowadays, it is really easy to control this condition by changing diet, implementing physical exercises and by using medication. It can be divided into two categories: primary and secondary gout. Primary is caused by hyperuratemia of unknown origin while the secondary is caused by hyperuratemia of known origin.

This disease is very common for males. Only 5 % percent of women suffer from gout and this usually happens during menopause. Sickness affects older people, usually after 40 years of age.


Gout appears abruptly, during night, followed by extreme joint pain. This pain is so enormous that even contact with a blanket can cause a negative sensation. Usually, only one joint is affected by gout but it can also affect numerous joints at the same time. Patient can easily notice changes; entire area becomes swollen, stretched and red. Sometimes, because of the inflammatory process within a body, increased temperature and shivers may appear. Inflammation usually last for up two weeks and after that, it completely recedes. However, the problem will reaper soon after, attacking the same area as it did before.

There are certain factors that stimulate development and reoccurrence of gout. People who are eating heavy food, intestines, fish, individual who are using a lot of fat and spices in their diet, as well as consummation of alcohol can lead to creation of gout. Surgical interventions, use of certain medication, loss of weight and injuries can also be connected to this illness. If this problem is not correctly treated, it will become chronic after some time.

Treatment of gout includes two processes. First is treatment of arthritis while the other is treatment of hyperuratemia. Similarly to many other diseases that can become chronic, it is necessary to start treatment immediately. If the person takes all the necessary steps at a right time, it is possible to remedy the issue. Having in mind that condition is caused by bad diet, it is only natural that the diet should be immediately altered. Also, patient will need to drink a lot of water.


Perhaps the best drug for treatment of gout is Colchicine. According to You! Drugstore, this medicine can easily relieve symptoms of the disease. Drug is used orally, with or without food. Each case is particular and dosage needs to be tweaked based on that. The only thing that a patient needs to have in mind before using this medicine is that grapefruit and grapefruit juice can cause negative effect. As such, they shouldn’t be combined with Colchicine 0.6mg.

People who have liver and kidney problems, patients who are allergic to this drug or pregnant women, shouldn’t use Colchicine. The most common issues with this medicine are stomach irritations. Patient may suffer from nausea, stomach pain or vomiting. Other side effects are usually very rare.
