Did you just love Dolphin Tale? We sure did.  We are so excited about Dolphin Tale 2....what a sweet family movie.  Inspired by true events, Dolphin Tale 2 continues the story of the brave dolphin Winter, whose miraculous rescue and recovery—thanks to a groundbreaking prosthetic tail—made her a symbol of hope and perseverance to people around the world and inspired the 2011 family hit movie “Dolphin Tale.” This film reunites the entire main cast, led by Harry Connick Jr., Oscar winner Morgan Freeman, Ashley Judd, Kris Kristofferson, and of course, the remarkable dolphin Winter as herself. Champion surfer Bethany Hamilton, who has been an example of courage, also appears in the film.  What a fantastic teaching opportunity for children of all ages. 

It has been several years since young Sawyer Nelson and the dedicated team at the Clearwater Marine Hospital, headed by Dr. Clay Haskett, rescued Winter. With the help of Dr. Cameron McCarthy, who developed a unique prosthetic tail for the injured dolphin, they were able to save her life. Yet their fight is not over. Winter’s surrogate mother, the very elderly dolphin Panama, has passed away, leaving Winter without the only pool mate she has ever known. However, the loss of Panama may have greater repercussions for Winter, who, according to USDA regulations, cannot be housed alone, as dolphins’ social behavior requires them to be paired with other dolphins. Time is running out to find a companion for her before the team at Clearwater loses their beloved Winter to another aquarium.

Priority Chef Premium Knife Sharpener Review #prioritychef

It can be a real challenge to decide on the best knife sharpener when you are looking at all of the options. You need to think about price, durability and how easy it is to use to start with and storage. Small and compact is always better for me...I am running out of space. Those are key elements and I know because I have purchased a few kitchen tools here and there over the years. My husband and I both cook and we are very particular about our tools including knives. We only buy very high quality knives. It really makes a difference in how easy it is to prep a meal. You do need to keep your knives sharp and to do that you need a decent sharpener. The prices vary a lot though so you have to consider a variety of factors like I just mentioned. Price does not always equal quality. You can get a really good knife sharpener for a reasonable price if you shop carefully. I recently had the opportunity to try out the reasonably priced Priority Chef Knife Sharpener.

I wanted to share my experience with the Priority Chef Knife Sharpener.  I was surprised at the compact size. It is small so it is easy to store but it has a sturdy handle.  Right out of the box it was simple to use. The Priority Chef sharpened several of our knives very quickly and easily.  The instructions were easy to follow as well. The price is right and it does the job that a much pricier sharpener does with a huge cost savings.

Benefits of the Priority Chef Premium Knife Sharpener:

• Never have to buy another knife set again

• Priority Chef knife sharpener will sharpen even the dullest blades 

• 2 stage sharpening system with coarse and fine sharpening 

• Can give your old, blunt knife set a new life

• Great gift idea 

• In tests, Priority Chef's knife sharpener outperformed all other leading knife sharpeners 

• Guaranteed to last a lifetime, the only thing you need to replace is the sharpening head 

This is an easy to master knife sharpener too even if you are a novice. Completely dull knives should be pulled 2-4 times through the course section. If your knife only needs light sharpening, pull towards you 2-4 times through the fine section of the sharpener. Very easy and not complicated at all. You can find this great Priority Chef Premium knife sharpener on Amazon for easy shopping.

Argan Oil Hair Mask Review #InstaNatural

My hair gets so dry no matter what the season. In the summer, I blame the sun. In the winter I blame the cold and the wind. I think all the heat devices don't help either. I am always excited to try products to help improve the condition of my hair. InstaNatural Argan Oil Hair Mask is a deep conditioning treatment designed to transform dry and damaged strands into soft, shiny, healthy hair. Its has tons of wonderful, natural restorative ingredients including Argan Oil, Japanese Green Tea, Amino Acid Complex, Coconut Oil, Shea Butter, Jojoba Oil, Avocado Oil and Vitamin B5. They all work synergistically to penetrate deep into the hair. This delivers the ultimate nourishment and hydration to enhance texture and shine. The Argan Oil Hair Mask is an intensive blend full of organic ingredients that helps to defend against heat damage and other external aggressors.

Key Active Ingredients:

+ Argan Oil
+ Amino Acid Complex
+ Coconut Oil
+ Shea Butter
+ Vitamin B5

My thoughts:  I have used the Argan Oil Hair Mask several times this past week. I spent a LOT of time at the beach and even with a hat most of the time my hair was so dry. I noticed a real difference each time I used the mask. It was easy to apply and smells so delicious too. I applied it to my whole head except for the hair right by my scalp. I left it on for 15 minutes.  InstaNatural suggests anywhere from 5-15 minutes. My hair looked beautiful after I rinsed it off and felt so much softer. It styled beautifully and felt soft.  I will continue to use this at least once or twice a week.  You can purchase the instaNatural Argan Oil Hair Mask on Amazon.
