Flowboard is the next generation presentation and storytelling platform for iPad. Flowboard allows anyone to create interactive publications with text, images, video and links that feel like mini apps on the iPad or play anywhere within the Flowboard web player.

Flowboard is really easy to use too. You create each screen using easy touch gestures. Want to get interactive with it?  Easy...add buttons, videos, and even galleries. It is fun to use and you can share the joy too..super easy by URL to iPad and even the web.  Once your Flowboard is created you just can post it anywhere. The best part is no one gets stuck with overwhelming files in their email in box. Ugh.

Rusk W8less Multi 12 in 1 Miracle Treatment Review

Disclosure: Rusk and StyleWatch Style Hunters provided me with a Rusk product complimentary in order to provide my opinions. As always, all thoughts and opinions are my own.  

It was a happy day when I got a surprise in the mail this past week with all the crazy hot and humid weather here in the mid-Atlantic region. Rusk W8less Multi 12 in 1 Miracle treatment is a simple and easy to use leave in conditioning spray that helps to restore moisture balance back into your hair.  

Did you know that RUSK is passionately dedicated to the art of hairdressing and represents unparalleled creative artistry and individuality in the professional haircare world?  With a synergistic approach to cut, color and style, and a complete range of high-performance products and tools, RUSK empowers professional stylists and their clients to achieve extraordinary results both in the salon and at home. From Deepshine™ Hair Color and RUSK Professional Engineering tools, to iconic styling products like w8less, thickr and str8, RUSK products are available at fine salons around the world and at Cosmoprof and Ulta stores throughout the US.

I was all hopped up to try it out. I first washed and conditioned my hair as I usually do. I put the Rusk Multi 12 in 1 Miracle W8less Leave-In Treament in my hair at this point.  It had a great scent and went on very easily. I dried my hair as usual   It definitely helped to reduce the frizziness and kept the style going all day.  As an added benefit it made my hair look more shiny.  Rusk W8less is humidity resistant too so it is perfect for a long, long day or a night out on the town.  I have been using it regularly right after I wash my hair when it is damp.  It provides thermal protection too so I feel like it has been helping my hair when I use my hot brush or straightening iron.  It comes out smooth and sleek with a bit of a curl just like I like it.

My mom group recently was able to explore the offerings from Gaiam TV at my home when we got together last week.  The ladies were impressed with the exclusive interviews from top wellness experts, spirituality growth videos and inspiring films.  I decided it would be fun to do a fitness class together so I had everyone dress comfortably.  Everyone was at a different fitness level but we all had fun.  I picked something very doable for everyone and it worked out perfectly.  There were alot of options for fitness from easy to very challenging too. 

The moms were surprised at the variety of options for programs.  There was programming they thought the whole family would enjoy—even the kiddos and hubbies!  Ellen saw an inspiring film listed that she thought her husband would really like.  I saw several documentaries that I know would get my husband to watch with me too.
