Icon by Heart is another find I’m lucky to have unintentionally discovered at my job. This cd was only somewhere between 5-8 dollars and contains a multiple number of their classic hits such as These Dreams, track number 6, track number 9, Magic Man etc (I forgot the exact amount because it has been at least 2-3 months since I purchased this cd). I first heard of them around the age of 6 or 7 when they played on the radio when I was still living in Wisconsin. I also frequently heard music by Heart growing up because a multiple number of their songs were featured on the radio on Illinois and I also discovered some of their music through tv.
I admit that I’m late to the party of purchasing Listen by David Guetta because I did not buy this cd until January 30th of this year (which was also after hearing his music featured on the radio, Pandora, iheartradio etc). I admit that Dangerous, Lovers On The Sun, and Hey Mama are some of the multiple tracks that I’m enjoying on the Listen compilation right now (I’m not ashamed to admit its partially because I heard these songs also featured on the radio). However, there is something for everybody on this Listen because of the various artists featured on this cd (Sia Ryan Tedder, Emeli Sande, The Script, Bebe Rexha, Magic & Sonny Wilson etc.). I admit that I like the inclusion of his collaborations with other artists on Listen because of his previous tracks which are also collaborations; Who’s That Chick (feat. Rihanna), Turn Me On (feat. Nicki Minaj), Commander and When Love Takes Over (feat. Kelly Rowland), Titanium (feat. Sia), Bad Girl (feat. Taio Cruz and Ludacrais). Listen by David Guetta is perfect for those who like club/dance music feat. various artists.
Communicating With The Spirit World by Melinda Carver is perfect for those who are looking for video/dvd seminars on ways of connecting to the celestial realms/their higher selves/heavenly helpers etc.. I have to credit an anonymous person who helped remind me recently of my soul’s desire for this information. Carver touches on the difference between spirit guides, ascended masters, and angels during this presentation. She also (in order to indirectly emphasize diving timing) that sometimes communication with a loved one in heaven may not yet be forthcoming because the soul has to first be ready. Without disclosing too much from the documentary, she gives examples of this through a woman who was trying to make contact with her son in heaven around a week after his death and another woman who was trying to make contact with a boyfriend who passed on from her high school years.
Neon Future II (2) by Steve Aoki is a musical continuation feature from his first Neon Future compilation (I had found out about that compilation after hearing a link to this Delirious song that I found by the iheartradio station affiliated with Calvin Harris). There are multiple heartfelt and soul stirring songs featured on this Neon Future II such as Heaven On Earth, Light Years, Hysteria, Youth Dem etc. Neon Future II is great for those who are familiar with Steve Aoki’s first Neon Future collection and/or those who like futuristic trance/electronic music.
I have been wanting to see the Pursuit of Happyness film since around 2006/2007 when I was living on the Mayport Naval base in Florida. I’m glad that I finally got the chance to see this motivational film that also had equal moments of heart string pulling and tear jerking scenes. As many know, Pursuit of Happyness stars Will Smith as Chris Gardner and Smith’s real-life son Jaden Smith as the child. Thandie Newton also is one of the celebrities included in the film. One of the heart string pulling scenes is where the character of Chris Gardner and his son are shown waiting along with what looks to be several hundred other people waiting in line for homeless housing, but the shelter could only house around 50 people (an indirect commentary on the number of homeless shelters available in the U.S.). One of the employees of the homeless shelter is seen having to do the difficult job of announcing to the many waiting that they have now reached their daily cutoff, leaving the obvious impression that others are going to have to try elsewhere and/or again the next day. On an unrelated note, I especially can’t help but have feeling around this issue after unexpectedly running into a female who was homeless (less than a year ago), but was at least happy to have got a spot at a nearby homeless shelter and a job as an event planning assistant even as she was trying to qualify for public housing (which was obviously going to be a possible but tricky feat for her because she appeared to be both childfree and single). I only say that because it is common knowledge that the circumstances and probability of being able to qualify for public housing are different for those who have children compared to those who voluntarily chose to not have children. Without revealing her identity, the only other thing I feel comfortable in disclosing is that it appeared to me that she had previously actually lived in D.C., based on what she told me and where I ran into her (I wish to avoid disclosing for the sake of the review and my conscience on what is ok to reveal about that encounter). The ending of the Pursuit of Happyness gives the following data; After beginning his career at Dean Witter, Chris Gardner went on to open the investment firm Gardner Rich in 1987. Chris Gardner himself then makes a brief appearance in the film. Then the following other info; In 2006, Chris Gardner sold a minority stake in his brokerage firm in a multi-million dollar deal.
There are two things that indirectly influenced my decision to see Tomorrowland. The first is my burgeoning interest in films, media, books, and various information resources related to the idea of heaven, utopia etc. (from spiritual and points of view pertaining to the afterlife). Additionally, I was also influenced to consider seeing the movie when I recently looked up some information on the Greyhound bus website and came across an ad for the Tomorrowland movie. Minimizing movie spoilers, the movie centers around residing in a parallel world/dimension that is indirectly created out of the collective consciousness of some of the most open-minded and gifted men and women of living today. A couple of good points to this film; The main players of the film are working harmoniously and persuasively together that gives the impression that they at least got along during the creation of the movie. For instance, George Clooney and Hugh Laurie interact with their roles in a way that give the impression that maybe they spoke of the representation of Tomorrowland before acting out their scenes (there is an event in the film where both men are seen discussing how the collective viewpoints of society may or may not have an influence on the chances of creating a better world). Then there are the children and younger adults shown in the movie striving to collaborate together on seeing what can be done to preserve the existence of Tomorrowland. There are even guest appearances of certain celebrities during the movie. My only caveat is that the film could have featured more scenes in Tomorrowland. Either way Tomorrowland is great for those who are open to seeing Utopian themed films and/or fantasy movies.
The Winx Club Enchantrix Volume 1 (Season 1) has multiple episodes that touch on uplifting themes of magic, wisdom, and friends. For instance, episodes two through four deal with one of the characters coming to terms with breaking a curse placed on her by first being at the acceptance level of who she already is, even if her physical appearance is not accepted and/or celebrated among others. I’m fortunate to have also watched and previously enjoy a spin off movie related to this series (Winx Club Magical Adventure). I also like how the Winx Club series plays on the ideas of different worlds. Yes, I know that this is a kid’s series, but these cartoons are also good to watch for those looking to boost their creativity and/or character development for writing stories, movie/play scripts scripts/journals for law of attraction exercises/processes etc.
LalaLoopsy Festival of Sugary Sweets is also another enjoyable movie for all ages groups and/or those looking for creative inspiration and/or ideas for recreational writing (personal journal/scripts for law of attraction exercises) and/or writing towards stories and/or movie/play scripts. Lalaloopsy Festival of Sugary Sweets is an uplifting 45 minute film about a group of characters who get together and collaborate in baking various various culinary creations for a festival/contest coming up. One of the characters is seen going through various adventures just to get a sugar replacement for some recipes that are going to be in the contest. The characters cooking for the contest also have assistants (in the form of their playful pets) helping them bake and create their sweet confections. The cartoon is very bright in both mood/colors and contains a healing hidden message of what can happen in regards to being receptive to benevolent help.
This Intense Dark Hazelnut Heaven Bar from Ghirardelli (3.5 ounces)has a gentle and creamy texture that is not too sweet. I gave my husband a portion of this bar to try and he liked it as well. Reluctantly, I admit that I purchased this from my job after I seen it laying around an area near where I was stocking some groceries.
This bag is similar to the 7 ounce Food Should Taste Good Sweet Tortilla Chips package that I obtained from my job. I tried these chips with apple butter (as mentioned as a snack idea on the bag) and they did turn out pretty good. These chips have a great balance of sweet potato flavor paired with the right amount of salt and sugar.
As mentioned in a previous relaxer review, I preface my review by acknowledging that I do understand that beauty comes in all hair types, skin complexions, body shapes, and various walks of life. However, I update this review by admitting that I relax my hair every 6-8 months because it helps me to more easily manage my hair on a budget. I would avoid the word never when it comes to going the completely natural route but I would have to see the examples of working women who are successful in the private sectors and have worn their hair natural for at least ten consecutive years before I change my mind about using relaxers. I have hair that is sometimes confused for a wig (someone actually pulled on my hair at an Armin Van Buuren concert before to make sure it was real). However, all my hair is real but I’m open-minded about people who wear wigs/weaves (I inherited my hair type from the Menominee Indian side of my family by way of my biological mother and grandmother). Anyhow, this Dr. Miracles Renewal No Lye Relaxer is nothing like I have used before (in a positive way) and has left my hair the smoothest it has been in years (this relaxer also turned my naturally type 3 curly hair into a type 2 but with a softness and strength that was pleasantly unexpected). Fortunately, the directions are very easy to understand and they even break down the steps of when to use the various hair products. For instance, the kit comes with gloves, relaxer crème, liquid activator, shampoo to rinse the relaxer out, miracle reconstructor (akin to hair conditioner), moisturizing masque (additional hair conditioner), and miracle shine. The kit even comes with special gel to protect your skin and hairline as you are relaxing your hair (which comes in handy for sure). It is emphasized to avoid leaving the relaxer in your hair past 20 minutes (to be on the safe side I included the “smoothing time”mentioned on the instructions towards the time counted towards leaving the relaxer in. I found out about Dr. Miracles Miracle Renewal No Lye Relaxer System From the Essence magazine website. Reluctantly I admit, that I ordered the super version online because the super version was unavailable at my job. One recommendation; if your hair is a length and thickness similar to mine I would gently recommend having an additional shampoo and conditioner to be on the safe side. I only say this because I used two relaxer kits in my hair and had to use a two in one shampoo and conditioner by Suave to rinse out the relaxer in my hair after I ran out of the shampoo included in the kit. The Garnier Fructis Triple Nutrition conditioner (yellow bottle)with avocado, almond, and olive oil helped give my hair an additional after relaxer softness.
I admit that hearing some of the songs by Martin Solveig on iheartradio compelled me to give Smash by Martin Solveig a chance. Of course as a result of this, I enjoy the Night Out and We Came To Smash In A Black Tuxedo are some of my fave songs on this cd. However, there are other fun songs on Smash by Martin Solveig such as Hello, Ready To Go, Big In Japan, Racer 21. Smash by Martin Solveig is perfect for those who are looking for uplifting club music with the tone/mood of having fun in life and/or looking on the bright side of life.
Tiesto Club Life Vol. 4 New York City has various electronic/dance beats that go along with the theme of city life and having a good time. For instance, the track Secrets (feat. Vassy, Tiesto, and KSHMR) touch on the heart of city life and spending time with someone that makes your heart race. Butterflies, The Only Way Is Up, Valencia, and Sky High are also some of the multiple featured songs that give a clue to the edgy yet thrilling vibe of Club Life Vol. 4 New York City by Tiesto.
A State of Trance 2015 (Mixed by Armin Van Buuren) is another solid set featuring various artists because of his vast feature of various artists across different songs such as Shine (Aly & Fila feat. Roxanne Emery),Mino Safy for When The Sun Smiles, Pegasus by Protoculture, The Edge by Orjan Nilsen etc. I also enjoy that the compilation starts of energetically with Going Home (Gareth Emery radio edit). There are other meaningful songs on A State of Trance 2015 collection by Armin Van Buuren (which is also good for those who are open to listening to trance/club music interspersed with spiritual/life themes).

MAVIS PITTILLA:
“You’re going to love medium Mavis Pittilla with her lovely British accent in
this early Afterlife TV episode about the wants and needs of spirits. Mavis
explains why our loved ones in spirit really want to communicate with us, why
they hope we’ll visit a medium (and try to influence us to see one), how our
prayers can help them, and what we can do to satisfy their desires in the
spiritual world. She also shares her immense wisdom on what’s important when
helping someone in deep grief, how to live from the soul, and ways that we can
accelerate our spiritual growth. This is a pleasant, peaceful interview that
will leave you uplifted and enlightened about spirit communication from a
spirit’s perspective.” ~ Bob Olson, Afterlife TV
It is one of my dreams to be able to eventually go

It is my wish to create a career that is going to
allow me to be financially prosperous and work until the day I cross over to
heaven (which I predict to be anywhere from age 85 to 110). However, I have
saved this link for inspiration.
