Smarty Pants Vitamin Review

Smarty Pants Vitamins

My dear sweet brother gave me two sample packs of Smarty Pants Vitamins. They are a gummy vitamin for grownups. I'd never heard of this brand or tried a gummy vitamin before this. I absolutely love these! They taste so good. Smarty Pants also makes them for kids. Here are the benefits of Smarty Pants: 

• Only Multivitamin + Omega 3s + Vitamin D gummy on the market!
• Excellent Source of Omega 3 DHA+EPA* from eco friendly small fish oil
• 225% of the US RDI for Vitamin D + includes 9 other nutrients
• No High Fructose Corn Syrup, artificial flavors, colors, or preservatives
• Gluten & casein free. Made in California in a GMP-certified facility

The one thing that concerns me about them is the sugar. They are like sugar covered gummies. The sugar is all natural but still, if you're going to enjoy these make sure you brush your teeth afterwards. Parents should totally trick their kids and get these for them if they have a child with a sweet tooth. If they're going to eat something sweet then it might as well be good for them!

Movie Review: Disconnect

 

 

Disconnect is a story about three families struggling to remain connected (partially due to technology). It has several stars including Paula Patton, Alexander Skarsgard, Jason Bateman, Hope Davis, and Michael Nyqvist.  Stories that are truly multiple stories in one such as Disconnect can be a little confusing. Each story was connected rather seamlessly. I felt that the film was really well done. Disconnect is not a feel good movie. It’s dark, it’s sad and it’s real. My only problem with the film was Alexander Skarsgard’s character’s decision to go a little bit further than perhaps most people would have to solve his problems. I don’t want to give the film away but if you are interested in some good drama then I suggest it. There aren’t any pyrotechnics or 3D animation. It’s refreshing to see a film that really focuses on the actors and the characters they portray.

Now, onto a rant about the implied topic of the film which is that technology is having an adverse effect on our lives. I understand where people who argue this point are coming from, however, I don’t fully agree with it. I love technology, blogging, television, music, you name it. I even worked online as a teacher prior to transitioning into the health field. People need to manage their use of technology or else it can and will take over their lives. It’s that simple. Technology is like any other hobby that people indulge in. Even though technology is big part of my life, it’s not all that I do and I don’t let it negatively impact me either. That’s enough about that! I give Disconnect 4.5 out of 5 stars.



Movie Review: Tyler Perry's Temptation: Confessions of a Marriage Counselor

Tyler Perry's "Temptation: Confessions of a Marriage Counselor"

The message behind this movie was great. The timing was great for me because I’m learning so much about trust right now. Yes, I’m a Kardashian fan (say what you want but those ladies know how to hustle and I respect that). If you’re a Tyler Perry Fan You won’t be disappointed.

The film is about an ambitious, young, therapist who is also a young wife. She fell in love young and met her husband when they were six. She found someone else who excited her. Something different. Let’s just say different doesn’t always mean better. I’ll leave the rest for those who are going to see the film.

I was surprised by the message of the film and honestly didn’t expect the film to be so heavy. Tyler Perry has done some heavier work in the past but this is no Madea comedy. Even if you’re not a fan of Tyler Perry, the message in the film is still worth experiencing (even it’s on HBO later). There are worse films in theaters without any lessons to learn at the end of them. I give it 3.5 out of 5 stars because I wanted to know more about some of the characters. I wish the film had a little bit more depth, it would have been interesting to know more about the other characters’ past lives. I enjoyed the film overall and don’t felt like I got ripped off. It’s good entertainment that gives you food for thought.
