Spirit is back and you are only going to be able to see in in theaters. How excited is that.  We can head back to the theaters get our popcorn and candy and watch on the big screen.  Dreamworks Spirit has become a classic with kids and adults.  When I was a kid I loved riding horses and everything about them.  My aunt had the best horse that would bow down and let you clime on and that is what started my loved for horses.  I love that Spirit brings the love of horses to kids to have never been able to personally see how amazing they are.

Spirit is one of the best shows your kids can watch.  It is truly a magical show for the whole family. We got some of the most beautiful swag for this movie and I am in LOVE with the backpack, I don’t know if little guy is going to share.

An epic adventure about a headstrong girl longing for a place to belong who discovers a kindred spirit when her life intersects with a wild horse, Spirit Untamed is the next chapter in the beloved story from DreamWorks Animation.
Lucky Prescott (Isabela Merced, Dora and the Lost City of Gold) never really knew her late mother, Milagro Navarro (Eiza González, Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw), a fearless horse-riding stunt performer from Miradero, a small town on the edge of the wide-open frontier.
Like her mother, Lucky isn’t exactly a fan of rules and restrictions, which has caused her Aunt Cora (Academy Award® winner Julianne Moore) no small amount of worry. Lucky has grown up in an East Coast city under Cora’s watchful eye, but when Lucky presses her own luck with one too many risky escapades, Cora picks up stakes and moves them both back with Lucky’s father, Jim (Oscar® nominee Jake Gyllenhaal), in Miradero.
Lucky is decidedly unimpressed with the sleepy little town. She has a change of heart when she meets Spirit, a wild Mustang who shares her independent streak, and befriends two local horseback riders, Abigail Stone (Mckenna Grace, Captain Marvel) and Pru Granger (Marsai Martin, Little). Pru’s father, stable owner Al Granger (Emmy winner Andre Braugher, Fox’s Brooklyn Nine-Nine), is the best friend of Lucky’s father.

When a heartless horse wrangler (Emmy nominee Walton Goggins, FX’s Justified) and his team plan to capture Spirit and his herd and auction them off to a life of captivity and hard labor, Lucky enlists her new friends and bravely embarks on the adventure of a lifetime to rescue the horse who has given her freedom and a sense of purpose, and has helped Lucky discover a connection to her mother’s legacy and to her Mexican heritage that she never expected.
Spirit Untamed is the next chapter in DreamWorks Animation’s beloved franchise that began with the 2002 Oscar-nominated film Spirit: Stallion of Cimarron and includes an Emmy-winning TV series. The film is directed by Elaine Bogan (Netflix and DreamWorks Animation Television’s Trollhunters: Tales of Arcadia) and is produced by Karen Foster (co-producer, How to Train Your Dragon). The film’s co-director is Ennio Torresan (head of story, The Boss Baby), and the film’s score is by composer Amie Doherty (Amazon’s Undone, DreamWorks Animation’s Marooned).

4 Self-Care Strategies To Improve Your Mental Well-Being

tabbyspantry

With commitments such as family, work, and relationships taking up your priority list, it is easy to forget to take good care of yourself and focus your energy on making everyone else happy. However, this practice can be very detrimental to your mental health. It is, therefore, important to set aside some time to focus on yourself. You can improve your mental well-being and health by engaging in self-care strategies such as; 

Connect With Other People

High-value relationships are vital for your mental well-being. They allow you to share positive experiences while helping you build a sense of self-worth and belonging. Connecting with the people around you also allows you to get emotional support and support others. 

You can work on building closer and stronger relationships with your family and friends by engaging in activities such as having lunch with a colleague, playing indoor or outdoor games with your children, arranging a day out with friends you haven’t seen in a while, or volunteering at a community group, hospital or local school. 

 

Value Yourself

One of the best ways to improve your mental health is by avoiding self-criticism and treating yourself with respect and kindness. Make time to broaden your horizons, and engage in your favorite projects and hobbies. 

Whether it is taking dancing lessons, learning a new language, planting a garden, or learning how to play an instrument, find time to do the things that make you happy. 

Learn New Skills

Learning new skills has numerous benefits to your mental well-being. It allows you to connect with others while building a sense of purpose while raising your self-esteem, and boosting self-confidence. 

There are many different ways to bring learning into your life, even if you do not often have a lot of free time. For instance, you can engage in games that jog your mind, such as crosswords and Sudoku. You can get a sudoku subscription to get the games at reasonable monthly offers.  

Be Physically Active

In addition to enhancing your fitness and physical health, staying active can also improve your mental well-being. It causes chemical changes in your brain, which help to boost your mood. Physical activity helps to raise your self-esteem by enabling you to see challenges or goals and achieve them. 

Consider incorporating activities such as cycling, dancing, and swimming into your routine. You can also get outside for a run or a walk with your pet. You will soon start to experience a significant change in your physical and mental well-being if you are consistently physically active. 

Learn How To Deal With Stress

Every individual has to deal with the stresses of life at one point or another, whether they like it or not. Therefore, it is essential to be armed with the right coping skills, in case you find yourself in stressful situations. You may opt to play with your pet, take a nature walk, write a journal, or exercise to reduce stress. 

Additionally, remember to see the humor in life and smile as often as possible. Research shows that laughter can help ease pain, relax your body, boost your immune system, and reduce stress. 

Your mental well-being influences how you feel, think and behave every day. Apply the above strategies for improved mental well-being.

3 Reasons You Need To Wash The Outside Of Your Home

tabbyspantry 4 Comments

Most people don’t think about washing the outside of their home that often. It seems like a big job and you might not think it’s that important. However, it’s one of the most important home maintenance jobs and it’s worth putting the time in. These are some of the reasons why washing your home exterior is so important. 

 

It Creates A Great First Impression

When people see your home from the outside, they immediately make a judgment. If your home is covered in dirt and moss, it immediately looks run down and people have a bad impression right away. Whenever guests visit your home they will think it looks dirty and run down, and this perception carries over on the inside, meaning that people are not as comfortable in your home. 

 

This doesn’t just affect your guests either, it affects you. When you arrive home after a long day of work, you want your house to feel welcoming. But it’s tough to create a relaxing home atmosphere when the first thing you see is a dirty exterior. So, regular cleaning will make your home feel like a much more positive space. 

It Saves Money On Maintenance

If cleaning the house seems like too much hard work, you’ll definitely want to avoid painting it. The thing is, flaking paint looks awful and it increases the chances of damp in the home because you don’t have a protective layer. So, you will have to paint it (or pay somebody to paint it) eventually. But you can make the paint last a lot longer if you clean your home exterior properly. Moss and algae will degrade the paint and cause it to start flaking off, so you need to remove it before it does any damage. 

 

Cleaning your exterior helps to keep your windows in good condition too. Moss and algae can wear away the seals around the edges and cause lots of damage. However, regular cleaning of the exterior will preserve them so you don’t need to replace them as often. 

It’s Better For Your Health

When left unchecked, a lot of mold and mildew can grow on the home exterior and eventually make its way into the home. This poses a serious health risk for you and your family, so you need to take steps to tackle it. As soon as you spot any small spots of mold and mildew on the outside of your home, make sure that you wash it off straight away. 

How To Clean Your Home Exterior 

Knowing how to clean your home exterior safely is important. If you do it manually, you’ll need to use a lot of harsh detergents that are bad for you and the environment. It’s also a lot of hard work, so it’s best to use a pressure washer. When using a pressure washer, work out how to adjust pressure washer unloader valve so you can manage the power and avoid stripping any paintwork off. It’s best to start with a light pressure and gradually increase it until it cleans effectively. 

 

Ideally, you should wash your home exterior at least once a year. But if you notice problems like mold and mildew, start doing it more often. 

 

Washing the outside of your house might not be the most fun job in the world, but it’s an important one, so don’t neglect it. 

Treating The Best Man To A Special Gift

It is customary to give gifts to the bridesmaids and best man on your wedding day. This is a token of your appreciation for all of the hard work they have put in during the build-up to your wedding. No doubt your best man has planned your bachelor party, helped ease your nerves, and chipped in with other aspects of your wedding. A small gift can show how much you appreciate their efforts. But, what sort of gift is suitable for your best man? Let’s take a look at some suggestions…

 

  • An experience – Why not treat your best man to a day they will never forget? There are many different websites offering vouchers for gift experiences. This could be anything from a beer tour to a sporting event. Or, why not choose a luxury sports car package, enabling your best man to drive his dream car for an hour or two?
  •     Sterling silver cufflinks – Cufflinks make a great present because they are stylish and can be saved for special occasions. Not only this, but your best man can add them to his outfit there and then for the perfect wedding style. Why not get the cufflinks engraved, so they are personal to your friendship and wedding?
  •     A cigar – Who doesn’t love a good cigar with the guys? Road Runner Cigars come recommended.
  •     A trophy – For a fun novelty present, why not opt for a trophy celebrating how great the person has been in fulfilling their best man duties? 
  •     Shot glass or whiskey tumbler – Why not opt for a unique shot glass or whiskey tumbler? Or, if your best man is a beer drinker, you could choose a stylish tankard instead. From stag designs to personalized glasses, there are plenty of gentlemanly options to choose from.
  •     Personalized beer crate – There are plenty of companies today that give you the ability to put your own beer crate together. The crate itself can be personalized with your best man’s name. You can then fill the crate with all of their favorite drinks, or why not throw in a few unique flavors for them to try?
  •     Personalized plectrum – Is your best man an aspiring rock star? If they play the guitar, or like to think they do, this is the perfect gift. In fact, it’s a thoughtful choice for anyone that has a love of music.
  •     Customized tie pin – You don’t need to spend a fortune in order to give someone a thoughtful and stylish gift. Why not opt for a hand-stamped tie pin instead?
  •   Personalized hip flask – You cannot go wrong with a hip flask, and the personalization adds a thoughtful extra touch. From novelty hip flasks to those with a simple and classic design, there is something for all tastes. You could have the date of the wedding engraved on the front or the words ‘best man.’ Or, why not opt for a funny quote instead?

 

All things considered, it is nice to show your best man that you appreciate all of their hard work in the build-up to your wedding. Consider one of the eight gifts mentioned above as the perfect way to say thank you.
