Fancy That!

If I was to try and master any mode of transportation outside of my usual bus and walk modes, it would be to master to the scooter. I feel like there is a growing trend towards scooters and so I was so excited to join up with Best Buy to feature their Jetson Scooter! Living in a city that encourages public transportation and "green" ways of living (like Portland, Oregon), means you are constantly exposed to new ways to get around with a lighter carbon footprint. The Jetson Scooter comes with a few huge perks I'd love to share with you guys as you consider adding this fun and amazing mode of transportation to your "back to school" shopping list. What makes this scooter stand out? First of all, it can go up to 15 mph thanks to it's 250W hub motor.

I had the chance to try a couple of different items from them - one of their coffees and some of their granola! Check it out: First, the coffee I had the chance to try.

About Don Pablo Coffee In 1989 by Darron J. Burke, founder of Burke Brands LLC, moved to South Florida for adventure. There, he met the love of his life, Eliana. While visiting his wife's family in Colombia, he also fell in love with Latin culture and the country's delicious coffee. The name "Don Pablo" came from Eliana's grandmother's nickname for Darron.

Hey folks, it's been a while! First of all, I have some great reviews and some giveaways coming up - so be on the lookout! First up is for everyone who is in need of an inspirational movie about becoming who you are meant to be. It's a movie called MISS ARIZONA. Here's a bit about the movie (as well as some photos from the film) and you will know why this is your must-see movie of the summer! (Well, what's left of the summer) About the Movie, Miss Arizona Rose Raynes (Johanna Braddy) was crowned Miss Arizona -- 15 years ago.
