If your little ones love Tinker Bell and the beloved classic, Peter Pan, they are in for a treat with The Pirate Fairy, a new Disney Fairies movie by Disney Pictures that will be released on Blu-ray Combo Pack & Digital HD April 1st! The Pirate Fairy introduces a new Disney Fairy, Zarina and you even get to meet Captain Hook when he was a boy. In true Disney fashion, the movie is centered on important life lessons such as friendship, finding your way, and teamwork.

The Pirate Fairy Movie Synopsis:

From the world of Peter Pan comes The Pirate Fairy, a swashbuckling new adventure about Zarina (voice of Christina Hendricks), a smart and ambitious dust-keeper fairy who’s captivated by Blue Pixie Dust and its endless possibilities. When Zarina’s wild ideas get her into trouble, she flees Pixie Hollow and joins forces with the scheming pirates of Skull Rock, who make her captain of their ship. Tinker Bell (voice of Mae Whitman) and her friends must embark on an epic adventure to find Zarina, and together they go sword-to-sword with the band of pirates led by a cabin boy named James (voice of Tom Hiddleston), who’ll soon be known as Captain Hook himself. With laughter, heart, magic and thrills, The Pirate Fairy sets sail April 1, 2014.

I love Dr. Brown's baby products. They have many must have items for mom's and babies. I used a variety of Dr. Brown's products with both of my children and still continue to use some even though they are past the baby stage. I still use some of their sippy cups to avoid spills and messes and their stackable snack cups for snacks on-the-go. The Dr. Brown's Natural Flow are what I loved best. Use the bottles with my kid's. My first born had colic and these bottles helped with feeding problems like colic, spit-up, burping, and gas.

I don't wear makeup everyday but when I do, I always wash my face to remove my makeup before bed. Leaving your makeup on while you sleep is a big NO. Leaving makeup on while you sleep can clog pores, irritate your skin and cause breakouts and blemishes. It's important that you not only remove your makeup but to make sure that it's done correctly, you don't want to use a product that's going to leave traces of makeup, oil and dirt behind. I use Neutrogena Makeup Remover Cleansing Towelettes because they remove 99.3% of all traces of dirt, oil, and makeup to reveal clean, fresh skin.

Most of us vastly underestimate the amount of sugar we eat because the sweet stuff is hiding in some of our favorite foods and beverages, like vanilla lattes, fruit flavored yogurt, salad dressing and cereal. Once we realize where the sugar is hiding, we can come up with ways to eliminate the excess sugar from our diets! You won't believe the quick and simple changes you're going to make in your diet once you start realizing how many calories and sugar are in your favorite daily foods. You'll begin to ask yourself "Should I choose this small snack that contains a large amount of calories and sugar or should I have this snack which contains less than half the calories and sugar?" You'll be looking for ways to swap out your meals, drinks and snacks for lower calorie options. Throughout 2014, SPLENDA Brand is dishing out 365 ways to swap sugar for SPLENDA Sweetener products to save calories all year long!
