The New Revolution at Dare Devil Dive will feature: The incredibly immersive world of virtual reality – straight up nearly 100 feet to the top of a towering skyscraper. A 95 degree launch off the edge of a building – beyond…

Cool Easter Gifts for Men
Easter is certainly not about the Easter bunny or Easter eggs, but watching the little ones open their Easter baskets. Like a lot of people, I have had my fair share of Easter baskets which had candy and/or some type of coloring book with crayons. As an adult, those days of getting an Easter basket have long gone but to be quite honest, sometimes I long for an Easter basket with some of my favorite candies in it. Nowadays, I just want a more adult version of an Easter basket, with things I can use, wallet, jewelry, gift cards, and yes some candy. I have decided, with the help of…

Gluten Free & Allergen Friendly Expo coming to Atlanta
I am overjoyed at this opportunity. Hubby and I went last year and learned a lot, but this year I was selected to cover the event officially as a blogger. Come meet me there and see why this is one of the hottest expos coming to Atlanta. This is an event that welcomes all of course, but those in particular who have allergies and a sensitivity to gluten. I am still learning and actually looking to incorporate this lifestyle in particular in the area of pregnancy loss. There is supposed to be a correlation between gluten and miscarriage so it is good for those who have challenges in this area…

Making Moves in 2016 Mitsubishi Outlander GT
Atlanta traffic for some reason is not easy to negotiate most days, but I tell you what the 2016 Mitsubishi Outlander GT makes it easier to negotiate in this comfortable and powerful 4-door SUV. Making Moves in 2016 Mitsubishi Outlander GT was an understatement. I have not been Downtown Atlanta 3 times in one week before, but I was able to and enjoyed every minute of it. Prior to me agreeing to test the Outlander, I only had one place to go that week other than work, but within a few days before getting “my precious” I was up to 4 events. Woohoo!! You talk about one happy camper and…

Come Celebrate Chinese New Year with Tin Drum
Daylight savings time is fast upon us and with that you know what that means? It means that it is time to prepare for Spring. The time where things come alive and with it, it is always time to experience new things. I have already started experiencing that thanks to Association of Food Bloggers. I was invited to try the new menu offerings celebrating the Chinese New Year at Tin Drum Asia Cafe. For those of you who do not know, Chinese New Year is considered a major holiday for some Chinese (in Taiwan, Singapore, etc.) and it is an old tradition that celebrates gods and ancestors. Tin Drum, which…

“Fashion in the City” Wild Child Magazine Style
This beautiful building near the Marietta Square hosted an event full of wonderful designers, models and press. I was out of the blue invited to “Fashion in the City” Wild Child Magazine Style, so I could not pass it up. I had a very full day, but I was decided that I had to get to the show. I have heard of this magazine, but this was the first event that I was able to cover and hopefully not the last. It was a room that housed over 80 people, not including the artists or models. Shortly after I arrived, the masters of ceremonies introduced themselves, and all of the…

National Pound Cake Day
Who does not love a celebration? We celebrate everything big and small around these parts, especially life. Whether you are celebrating your 1st year or marriage or the win of your 1st client, there is always something to celebrate. In our household, there are many things to celebrate, but we just decided to celebrate the fact that we love each other and heck because we just love to eat cake. We were privileged to be given 2 delicious pound cakes, just in time for National Pound Cake Day, to which I am very surprised that I have never ever heard of this day. I, the lover of sweets, skipped a…

The Toxic Avenger, a fun theatre experience
If you like green, crazed monsters (including a mayor), art and love stories then I have something for you. In the heart of Atlanta in Little Five Points, lies the Horizon Theatre which is just a block or so away from all of the action. I always look for different experiences in Atlanta and this theatre did not disappoint. It is an intimate space where you will feel that you are part of the performance. I had the opportunity to see a play called, The Toxic Avenger, which is loosely based upon a movie called the The Toxic Avenger from the 1980s. The Toxic Avenger, a fun theatre experience, takes…

Crucible Cast Iron Pot Cleaner
Cooking is one of the things that I enjoy doing, but at times frankly it can be quite a task especially when using a cast iron skillet or pot. The last time that I have used one was over a year ago and it was to cook curry chicken for Christmas I believe. I honestly am looking forward to cooking friend chicken in it to see how beautiful the skin will come out. Part of the reason that I shy away from using this type of cookware is because it is a hassle to clean the cookware afterwards. You cannot use soap or a Brillo pad, so when you have…

40 Days of Decrease
40 Days of Decrease A different kind of Hunger and a different kind of Fast, says Alicia Britt Chole. This book caught me by surprise, but in a good way. I thought that it was going to be about what one would call a traditional fast, however it was not. It focuses not on just decreasing of some type of food or food period. It is about reducing/decreasing one’s challenges within a person’s soul. It is taking a walk with Christ focusing on His walk on the way to Calvary and how He reduced Himself for our sake and how important the entire act is and that it is…
