Get Ready To Speed-Watch The Flash: The Complete Seventh Season On Blu-ray & DVD 10/12/21

tabbyspantry

We got the Flash season 7 free in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own

I was so excited to get season 7 of the Flash.  I missed a lot of this season not knowing when it started I was about 5 episodes off.  Anyone who watches the Flash knows a lot happened during those 5 episodes and I had missed way to much to catch up.  I was finally able to catch up and now I am ready for this season.   Flash is one of my favorite super heroes and he is one of the few in the DC universe that I would call a super hero.  With the speed of light he always cares about not only his family and friends, but also everyone else in the universe.

After last season’s cliffhanger which saw the brilliant and powerful Eva McCulloch victorious and still-at-large in Central City, Barry Allen/The Flash must regroup in order to stop her and bring back his missing wife. With help from the rest of Team Flash, Barry will ultimately defeat Mirror Monarch and reunite with Iris West-Allen. But in doing so, he’ll unleash two more devastating threats: one that could tear his marriage apart… and another that will lay siege to Central City and change the future forever.
With Blu-ray’s unsurpassed picture and sound, The Flash: The Complete Seventh Season Blu-ray release will include 1080p Full HD Video with DTS-HD Master Audio for English 5.1. Featuring all 18 episodes from the seventh season in high definition, as well as a digital code of the season (available in the U.S. only).
The Flash stars Grant Gustin (Arrow, Glee), Candice Patton (The Game), Danielle Panabaker (Sky High, Friday the 13th), Carlos Valdes (Arrow, Once), Danielle Nicolet (Central Intelligence), Kayla Compton (Making Moves), Brandon McKnight (The Shape of Water) and Jesse L. Martin (Law & Order). Based on the characters from DC, The Flash is produced by Berlanti Productions in association with Warner Bros. Television, with executive producers Greg Berlanti (Arrow, Supergirl, DC’s Legends of Tomorrow, Riverdale), Eric Wallace (Teen Wolf, Z Nation, Eureka), Sarah Schechter (Batwoman, Riverdale, Black Lightning, Supergirl) and Jonathan Butler & Gabriel Garza (Bella and the Bulldogs).

4 Easy Ways to Make a Space Your Own

One important aspect to enjoying where you live is making it your own. Creating your own space and filling it with pieces you love will help you to further express yourself in your everyday life. Here are some fun tips to help spice up any room in the house!

 

Make it Personal

Whatever style you like, try adding your own personal touch to it. A great way to start this process is to incorporate art into your decor. Since art can vary greatly in size and style, your options are basically limitless! Spend some time picking out pieces that speak to you. Arrange them in a fun pattern and center the rest of your decor off of that art. Search for affordable canvas and art prints until you find a collection that truly represents you. After you have found your art, find certain things that work well with it. For example, if you chose a classic landscape painting, use the colors involved when looking for a wall clock or book ends. Also, adding pictures of you and your loved ones will quickly make the space feel more personal. 

 

Incorporate Some History

Another fun way to add some spice to your space is to add some history with your decor. An old camera or set of binoculars can really add flare and dimension to the room. Check out your local antique malls for any vintage pieces that speak to you. Even a box of cheap little cigars add a touch of history because they honor an earlier era! Another awesome way to incorporate history is to find anything tangible relating to the home you are actually living in. This could be a sketch of the blueprint, an old deed, or some refurbished wood from your space. 

 

Add Variety

It is important to remember to keep an exciting variety when it comes to the decor you select for your space. In general, try to find decor that varies in shape and size, as this will help to make the space feel more lived-in and genuine. If you still feel lost on where to start, here are 4 easy ways to fall in love with your home again. The best way to add variety to your decor naturally is to focus on including something different to represent everything you love in life. Include your favorite movie, animals you love, and colors that relax you in your search. 

 

Splurge on a Big Ticket Item

Narrow down one piece that you would really love to have in your space and find a specific one that speaks to you. If you love music, look for vintage, rebuilt, and used pianos. Or, if you have hardwood floors in your space and want to feel prepared for the colder seasons, find a beautiful rug. Finding that big ticket item that will complete the space is worth the wait and the money. Do not be afraid to invest in a high-quality piece if you know you will cherish it for many years to come. 

 

Stop Sending Money Down the Drain With These Changes

Families all over the country worry about money. Unless you were born into extravagant wealth or got lucky with the lottery, it can feel like one missed paycheck or emergency could spell disaster for all of your hard work and savings. However, as worrying as these things are, there are ways you can make it a little easier on yourself. It’s almost certain that you are letting money run down the drain somewhere, and here are four ways you can change that. 

 

Energy Inefficiency 

 

If you go around your home, you will find areas that are wasting money through sheer energy inefficiency. This could be old light fixtures and lightbulbs, it could be an AC filter that is clogged up with dust, forcing it to work harder to provide the same results. Your windows or roof may have gaps in them. Your kids leave the lights on, even when they aren’t in the room. All of these issues mean your money goes down the drain, never to return. With a more significant focus on good energy consumption than ever, you must take steps to transform your home and make it energy efficient. The planet and your bank balance will thank you. 

 

Interest Rates 

 

Interest rates are often considered a necessary evil when it comes to owning a credit card. However, you don’t need to be at the mercy of these rates when you make a large purchase. Money experts recommend that it’s best to compare credit card options and identify which services offer excellent benefits. You can find 0% interest options, and you can even get useful benefits such as air miles or tokens to save money on other services. 

 

Learn to Negotiate 

 

Learning how to negotiate is useful whether at work or in life. Of course, you won’t be able to barter down a new sofa set. But when you’re buying a car or paying off bills in installments, you’d be surprised at how far a little negotiation will go. Companies are happier than you expect to reduce the cost of certain services because they’d rather have your money than not. This won’t work for every purchase or payment, but it’s always worth a try in some situations. 

 

Services You Don’t Use 

 

Once upon a time, you signed up to a subscription service that you have since forgotten about. Perhaps you have moved house and forgot to update your address; maybeyou were inspired by a commercial and called the company immediately to hand over your credit card number. Whatever happened, you don’t use these services anymore, so why pay for them? Take a look through y our statement and trace all payments to identify what you can get rid of and enjoy a little more financial security. 

 

Drained 

 

You may not notice a couple of bucks here or there, and this may not be much help in an emergency, but you should still identify the best ways to protect your money as efficiently as possible. If you want to take control of your finances, consider what areas of your life and home are draining money and plug them as soon as you can. 

 

The 3 Best Headphones You Need To Consider Giving Out During The Holiday Season

tabbyspantry

Picking out gifts during the holidays can be a real challenge. Yes, Christmas time is still a couple of months away, but it is never too early to start planning and budgeting for the season of giving. 

 

A lot of gift giving comes down to the person you are giving the gift to. Obviously, you will not want to give your nephew, who is interested in comic books, a sports encyclopedia. You want to provide an item to your loved ones that they will be able to cherish and use, not something that they will throw under their bed or re-gift for some party two months down the road. 

 

Still, with that being said, there are some gift ideas out there that are almost assuredly going to be a hit with whomever you give it to. 

 

With technology and electronics seemingly taking over the market, items like tablets, televisions, and video game systems are great gift ideas. Still, with the current global chip shortage, gifting something like a PS5 or Xbox One may be difficult. 

 

So what other tech would you be able to hide under the tree come Christmas time? How about some headphones! Whether used to listen to music, watch TV, stream a Twitch channel, or exercise, almost everyone nowadays has some kind of listening device. 

 

Now, with that being said, what headphones would be the best to give out in 2021? With so many options out there, it can be really overwhelming to try and choose which route to go. But, lucky for you, there is plenty of research for you to dive into, starting below with this list of the three best headphones you should consider for the holidays:

 

Apple AirPods

 

On their website, this is how Apple describes their AirPod wireless headphones:

 

“Powered by the Apple H1 headphone chip, AirPods deliver a faster and more stable wireless connection to your devices — up to 2x faster when switching between active devices, and a 1.5x faster connection time for phone calls. The H1 chip also drives voice-enabled Siri access and delivers up to 30 percent lower gaming latency. So whether you’re playing games, listening to music, or enjoying podcasts, you’ll experience higher-quality sound.”

 

Pretty good, right? At the price of $159.00, the original AirPods would be an excellent gift. 

 

Bose Quiet Comfort Earbuds

 

Another awesome earbud on the market, Bose Quiet Comfort Earbuds, are a revelation: “Better sound begins with better silence. That’s why we engineered QuietComfort® Earbuds with the world’s most effective noise cancelling and high-fidelity audio. . .when you eliminate distractions, your music takes center stage, and so does your passion. Roller skating, street art, woodworking — and every other thing that makes you, you. It’s an experience you won’t find in any other wireless earbud.”

 

Sounds (no pun intended) awesome, right? The noise cancelling feature that comes with these earbuds is renown, but the price of $279.00 may be too steep, especially in comparison to the first-generation AirPods. 

 

Sony WH-1000XM4

 

Not a fan of earbuds? Well, that should not be a problem with over-the-ear headphones, like Sony’s WH-1000XM4, out there. With an average star rating of 4.5 on their website, these headphones are fantastic. Just go take a look at some of the customer testimonials: “These did not disappoint. Every bit as good as the Sennheisers in terms of sound quality and better ANC. You can wear these for long periods, and it’s still comfortable (you’ll sweat a bit lah, haha). Well built sounds great and comfortable. You won’t go wrong with these.” 

 

But just like the above, the Sony WH-1000XM4’s sit at a steep price of $349.99. So, depending on how much you like the person you are gifting to, that may be too much for your budget to handle. 

 

Still, regardless of your selection, it is important to remind yourself and the receiver of the gift about ear protection (click the hyperlink to learn more). There are dangers that coincide with the prolonged use of headphones. 

 

According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC), “Loud noise is particularly harmful to the inner ear (cochlea). A one-time exposure to extremely loud sound or listening to loud sounds for a long time can cause hearing loss.” So keep that in mind when you are giving out your holiday gifts; there is always enough time to practice safety!

Subtle Bodily Changes That Could Be A Sign Of Something Serious

tabbyspantry

Regular visits to the doctor are key if you want to stay healthy. Most people will book an appointment when they notice any big changes to their body or they experience a lot of pain, but what about the subtle changes? There are a lot of small changes to your body that you probably ignore, thinking that they aren’t a problem. But sometimes, small things can be an indication of a far more serious health problem, so you should always go to the doctor if you are unsure. These are some of the subtle bodily changes that could be a sign of something more serious.

Changing Freckles

If you have a lot of freckles, you might not think much of it if one of them is a little bigger than normal or the color has changed slightly. However, you should get it checked because this can be a symptom of cancer. Melanoma is one of the deadliest types of skin cancer, but it’s also one of the most treatable if caught early enough. You should see your doctor right away if you notice any changes to your freckles because this could be a sign that something more serious is going on. In some cases, it may be fine and it could just be a natural change, but it’s not worth taking any chances. 

Differences In Hearing

If you have a major issue with your hearing, you’ll notice it and get a hearing test right away. However, when people have mild to moderate hearing loss, they often don’t notice changes or they just assume that it’s nothing to worry about. It could actually be something serious that you should get checked out because it can lead to more issues later on if it’s not dealt with. Getting a hearing test every now and again is also good for your general health, so make sure you book an appointment as soon as possible if you think there are any changes in your hearing, no matter how small. Follow the link to learn more about what it feels like to have moderate hearing loss, so you can get checked when you need to. In most cases, the first thing you will notice is difficulty hearing in crowded situations. Any small change should be a cause for concern but if you can catch it early, you can get treated and slow down further deterioration.  

White Spots On Nails

White spots on your nails may not seem that important, but it’s quite a common symptom for a more serious health problem. In some cases, white spots can be caused by heart disease or problems with the kidneys and liver. They can also be a sign of nutritional deficiencies, so if you do have any white spots, think about adopting a healthier diet and speaking to your doctor about any potential problems. 

Persistent Cold Sores

A cold sore isn’t usually something to worry about, but if you have one that won’t go away after a couple of weeks, it could be an indication of something more serious. Other symptoms can include swollen glands, fever, and aches and pains so if you notice any of these things in addition to the cold sores book an appointment to see your doctor. It could be that you have a more serious infection or even an autoimmune disease of some kind. It might be the case that it’s just a nasty cold sore and you need better treatments, but you should see a doctor to rule out anything 

Pimples That Won’t Disappear

For most people, pimples are just an inconvenience that they have to deal with. If you get a pimple that stays for longer than usual, it could be a sign of something bigger. A persistent pimple can indicate skin cancer, so if you notice one that’s growing in size or staying on your face for too long, make sure you get it checked.

 

In some cases, your pimples are not going away because you have advanced acne and standard over-the-counter products are not strong enough to deal with them. A doctor will be able to prescribe you specific medicated creams to help you deal with your pimples. 

 

People often worry about wasting the doctor’s time so they ignore small changes, assuming that they are nothing. However, even the smallest changes can be a sign of something more serious, so you should always see a doctor. That doesn’t mean you need to panic every time you notice something small, but you should play it safe, just in case.

tabbyspantry 2 Comments

If you have space in your home, you should consider creating a home gym. Having a home gym in your property is a great way of being able to exercise daily without heading out to the gym. If you really want to go the extra mile and create a space that not only looks good, but enhances your home workouts, you could even invest in some new home gym flooring. However, a lot of people don’t know what to put in there to ensure they have a full workout for their body. Here is how to create the ultimate home gym to fulfill your fitness needs for Fitness Equipment .

You need a treadmill

One of the top ways to create an ultimate home gym is to make sure you buy a treadmill for the room. It’s one of the most popular machines as it will get your heart racing and is a great way to get more confident at running. The cardio machine has many different functions and programs you can follow to ensure you get a full workout. Here are some unique moves to make it more interesting. You can get ones which you can easily put away when you have finished working out so you can safely use other equipment.

You need a spin bike

Another thing you need to create the ultimate home gym is a spin bike. It’s an excellent way of getting your heart racing and is perfect for a cardio workout. If you like using your regular bike, then you will be up for working out on the spin bike. Make sure you purchase one which tracks your workout, so you know how long you have been spinning for. You can find out spin bike reviews online, so you know you are getting a good value spin bike.

You need a punch bag

If you want to improve your self-defense or have punching or kicking as part of your workout routine then you will need to find a good free standing punching bag to use. If you are unsure where to go, Review Loft have reviewed the best ones available, read their guide here.

You need a set of dumbbells

If you want a fantastic gym which will fulfill your fitness needs, you need to consider buying a set of dumbbells. They can help you push yourself further when you are completing workouts. They are great when you are doing chest, shoulders, and arm workouts. You need to make sure you choose the right weight for you so that you don’t harm yourself when working out. As it says in this article, plate-loaded dumbbells are the cheapest choice when it comes to finding the right set.

You need a gym ball

Another item you will need to create the ultimate home gym to fulfill your fitness needs is a gym ball. The exercise ball can help you have an overall workout and is great to lean against when you are completing workouts. You can use it to lean against instead of a bench when you are using your dumbbells. You can get lots of fun colors, so it will make the room look more bright too!

You need a great music player

You will also need to make sure you have a great music player in your home gym if you want to stay motivated during your gym workout. A lot of people get bored halfway through the workout and decide to stop. Therefore, you need some good music to encourage you to keep going. Create a playlist full of great tunes which will spur you on. Music is also a great way of distracting you from what else is going on in your home. You can use your iPhone with headphones so that you aren’t disturbed while working out.

You might want to invest in an infrared sauna

In recent years, a lot has been said about the potential health benefits of sauna bathing. Physically, there is nothing more reinvigorating than a deep sweat after a workout. Your tension fades and your muscles can unwind. A few minutes a day is all it takes to look and feel better. Finding an infrared sauna that meets your needs can seem overwhelming though as there are so many different options. According to cleverleverage.com, these are the worst infrared saunas to stay away from. Ultimately, doing some research online can make your search easier.

You need a yoga mat

Another thing you need to create the ultimate home gym is a yoga mat. Yoga is a great way to strengthen your muscles and tone up your stomach. It can also improve your balance and posture and destress you after a long day. You can buy many yoga mats which can easily be rolled up and put against the wall when you have finished using it. You can find many workouts to follow online, or you could buy a book full of the top postures you can try.

You need resistance bands

You also need some resistance bands if you want to create the ultimate home gym to fulfill your fitness needs. They are great for helping you to complete a number of workouts if you don’t have much space for loads of machines. As this feature reveals, you can strap it to a door or table and then you can complete chest presses, squats, and any shoulder-related exercises. They are cheap to pick up and will ensure you get the resistance you need to complete the workouts.

If you have space, you should purchase a jump rope as it’s a great cardio exercise and will help you to fulfill your fitness needs. It can help your coordination, and you will be out of breath in no time!

My Review

This movie is a fast paced sci-if thriller like something out of the Twilight Zone, and keeps your interest throughout.  I found myself trying to find ways for the characters to escape, in my mind, throughout the movie.

Big Impact Changes to Your Home Interiors

tabbyspantry 1 Comment

Redecorating your home is a great way to breathe new life into it. But you don’t necessarily want to spend a lot of money on redecorating. Completely redecorating your home, especially if it involves buying new furniture, can quickly get expensive. If you think you’d like to make a change at home but you’d prefer to stick to a budget, there are ways you can make a big change without having to do too much. The right moves can have a significant impact on your home interiors without the need to spend a lot. Keep reading to find out what changes you can make.

Hardware and Fixture Changes

 

Making changes to the fixtures and hardware around your home can give each room a whole new look. It might not seem like it’s a big change at first, but you can soon see what a difference it can make. You can change things like light switch plates, door handles, faucets, and other features. These changes can give a new look to some of the most frequently used items in your home. They might look small but they’re some of the things that are most important. Functional items can be beautiful too, so look at what you can update.

 

Paint or Wallpaper

 

Painting your home shouldn’t cost too much and it can really help to refresh your home’s image. You could choose a trendy new shade or something traditional for your interior painting, whether you’re looking for a bright or a more subdued shade. You could also choose something neutral that allows you to put more focus on other elements of your interior design. If you’re not feeling painting alone, you might want to consider wallpaper as another option. Some people see wallpapering as a little old-fashioned, but there are plenty of designs that will look great in any modern home.

 

Window Dressings/Treatments

 

Turn your attention to your windows if you want to make some big changes to your home. Hanging new blinds or curtains could be a great way to give each room in your home a new look. It can help your home look good from the inside and even improve what it looks like from the outside. If you want to have fun with it, you could make your own window treatments. Dressing up a window even with something simple can help to add warmth to a room and improve its overall look.

 

Upholstery

 

Making changes to your furniture is a good option if you want to refresh your interiors too. However, there’s no need to buy new furniture to have the effect that you want. You can change your existing furniture and have the same desired effect. For example, you could reupholster a chair, a headboard, or other furniture to give it a new look. You could also paint your furniture or decorate it in other ways to give it new life.

If you’re not interested in reupholstering or repainting your existing furniture, another option to refresh your home interiors is to purchase discounted furniture. Discount dining room furniture can offer the same high-quality and stylish designs as full-priced items but at a fraction of the cost. This can be a great way to upgrade your home without breaking the bank. As previously mentioned, adding a touch of paint to your existing furniture can significantly affect your home’s overall look and feel. Whether you’re looking to create a bold accent piece or simply want to refresh a tired piece of furniture, a coat of paint can work wonders. Consider using bold, vibrant colors to create a statement piece, or opt for a more muted palette to create a calming, serene space. With a little creativity and some elbow grease, you can transform your home interiors without spending a lot of money.

You don’t have to spend a lot of money to have a big impact on your home interiors. Small changes can make a difference.
