Take A Riveting Ride Through the Amazon When Disney’s Jungle Cruise Docks Early on DigitalAugust 31

and 4K Ultra HD™, Blu-ray™ and DVD November 16

 

  OMG all when this movie was over I just wanted more. Hubby even said that this movie was made for me.  I love the humor in this one the jokes that he tells are right up my alley and he tells them the whole way threw.  It also sends a few twists and curves that makes the movie so excited.  I did not hear a lot about this one before it was released but it looked great.
  Most of us know about Disney Jungle Cruise.  I believe its in Adventure land and yes it is always and adventure.  This movie was perfect.  We start off with Lily and McGregor a brother and sister who want to explore the Jungle for the Moon tears.  Of course no one takes them seriously and they decide to take what they need and go on their own.  McGregor goes along to support his sister even though the Jungle is not his cup of tea.  When they meet Frank they soon learn not to believe anything he says, but he is funny and comes in handy at times.    The adventure takes them threw the jungle where they meet some colorful people and learn to trust each other.
  Anyone who has been to Disney and has been weighting to hear this story for a long time.  They did it perfect.  I was truly impressed with the entire movie and have watched it 4 times already.

My Review: This movie is filled with excitement, twists and turns.  It left me on the edge of my seat.  The story has a lot of dialogue but I felt it was necessary to get the story across.  The cast of characters was very good and I liked how Dr Lily and Frank worked together at different points of the movie to get eachother out of predicaments. I had laughter and tears throughout the entire movie. You will love this movie.  I think the audience rating of PG-13 is appropriate for this movie.

Marvel Studios’ Black Widow

We got the Digital Download of Marvel Studios’ Black Widow free in exchange for an honest review.   All opinions are our own 

OMG I can not tell you how excited I was for Marvels Black Widow.  She has always been one of my favorite and we do not have a lot of back story on her.  Not only do we get to see parts of her past in this movie.  We also get to see what she was up to after the Civil War.  While on the run she is still trying to save everyone.  When the other widows are in danger she jumps in to help save them and her family.   Yes she does have a family.  May not be your typical family but she does have them.  And they are so funny.  The comedy in this movie is fantastic and the action is amazing.

 

Film Synopsis
In Marvel Studios’ action-packed spy thriller Black Widow, Natasha Romanoff — aka Black Widow — confronts the darker parts of her ledger when a dangerous conspiracy with ties to her past arises.

Scarlett Johansson reprises her role as Natasha/Black Widow, Florence Pugh stars as Yelena, David Harbour portrays Alexei/The Red Guardian, and Rachel Weisz is Melina. Black Widow — the first film in Phase Four of the Marvel Cinematic Universe — is directed by Cate Shortland and produced by Kevin Feige.

Things to Keep Up With As You Age

 

 

As we get older we tend to let certain things go to the wayside. One of those things, unfortunately, is our health and our bodies. There is never a need to give up on keeping yourself active and healthy. With aging, a lot of people tend to get sad about growing older especially since we live in a youth-obsessed society. The way to stay youthful is to stay stimulated and sharp. Here are a few things you should never let slip through your fingers as you get older. 

 

Yearly Physicals

 

Never stop going to the doctor. Even if you’re feeling great and you know you’re going to get a clean bill of health, still get checked out. Doctors can tell whether or not something could be lurking underneath the surface. A yearly check up is also a good marker to your progress through life and your doctor can see if anything is changing like your weight, your cholesterol, or your blood pressure. You take your car for its yearly oil change, be as kind to yourself and you are to your car.

 

Keep Updating Your Medical Devices

 

Things like hearing aids and eyeglasses need constant maintenance. Our eyes change and our prescriptions may need to be updated so we can continue to see better, and our hearing aids may need a tune up. Get an eye exam every year and make sure you are seeing as well as you can. Update bifocals and keep track of your eyes’ overall health. Repair or replace hearing aids to ensure that they are working and you are hearing as sharply as you can. You don’t want to miss out on any parts of your life because you were too stubborn to make an appointment. 

 

Keep Socializing

 

As we get older we grow more tired and we may not feel like doing what we would normally do. Get yourself up and out of the house. Continuing to socialize is a great way to keep your brain stimulated, to feel less alone, and to stay physically active. Great conversations with friends will help you remember times from the past keeping your memory sharp, and it just feels good to be around people you love, so your mental health will get a boost. Once we start losing touch with the people we love we may start to feel sad more often than not and that is not something you want to face on a daily basis. 

 

Continue to Learn

 

Many people feel it is too late to change after a certain age. What that translates into is that you feel it’s too late to learn after a certain age. Never stop learning. As you continue to discover new parts of the world through travel or reading something new in a book or newspaper, you will be a part of the changing world. This helps you feel youthful, as you will not be left behind by the fast pace of society. Learn something new every day you can.

 

How to Minimize Allergies in Your Home

 

 

Allergy symptoms can be truly annoying and really impact your daily life. Many people think of allergies as a minor ailment, but they can make everyday life so much harder and leave you with many uncomfortable symptoms. If you experience allergies, you will know how much of a pain they can be. Itching, sneezing, runny eyes, and a blocked nose are just some of the symptoms that allergy sufferers need to contend with each day. In addition, allergy sufferers may experience other symptoms and find that allergies affect hearing and cause them to have a sore throat, too. 

 

Some allergy sufferers find that their hayfever is much worse when they are outside in the summer months, but it can be equally as bad for some people when they are inside their homes. Finding ways to reduce the potential allergens within your home is an excellent way to minimize the allergy symptoms that you experience. Here are some ways to reduce your allergy symptoms:

 

Clean Regularly

 

Dust mite allergies are a common cause of allergic symptoms. Not everyone experiences an allergy to dust mites, but if you do, you may find that your allergies are particularly bad indoors. There are a few ways to minimize the likelihood of a dust allergy flare-up. It is especially important to keep up with the housework and make your home as dust-free as possible. Regularly dusting and vacuuming is a must, but it is also wise to reduce the amount of clutter in your home. If you have lots of objects on display and items piled up, this can attract dust and cause further problems. So, minimizing the amount of stuff you have cluttering up your home should lessen the dust levels and the potential for allergens.

 

Choose Your Cleaning Products Carefully

 

Some cleaning products contain harsh chemicals, which can cause issues for those that are sensitive to the ingredients. Cleaning formulas that contain strong artificial fragrances can also cause irritation for allergy sufferers. So, while cleaning your home regularly is essential to keep allergies at bay, it is vital to choose the right products for the job to ensure that your allergies are not exacerbated further. Looking out for cleaning products that are approved by allergy organizations is a helpful way to choose products that won’t cause you further issues.

 

Remove Your Shoes

 

Did you know that your shoes and clothes could carry allergens without you even knowing? As you walk around outside, pollen and other allergens can cling to your shoes and clothes. Once you step into your home, you could be spreading these allergens throughout your house. If you keep your shoes on at home, you could be walking pollen from room to room in your house. To prevent this, it is a wise idea to remove your shoes and coat as soon as you enter your home. Doing this should ensure the amount of pollen that enters your house is minimized and the potential for your allergies to flare-up is reduced.
