Getting Clean Dishes With Cascade© Platinum Pacs #MyPlatinum #Sponsored

noreply@blogger.com (Sarah Coulsey) — Mon, 17 Jun 2013 23:36:00 +0000

Disclosure: I was not financially compensated for this post. The opinions expressed are 100% my own. I did receive a package of Cascade for review purposes and a thank you gift code. I participated in this campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for Cascade.

I hate doing the dishes. It is one of those chores that I let my Husband do. Of course I am the kind of person who won't complain to him about how he does them, but I find myself re-doing them because they are not up to my standards (which is just silly!!)

When we bought our house, I was giddy, giddy, giddy that we now had a dishwasher!! No more winter dry hands, and getting icky food stuck under my nails!!

Over the years we have tried a variety of detergent for the dishwasher. The only one that cleans our dishes to my standard is Cascade. I love the fact that Cascade is also one of the only companies that offers coupons on a fairly regular basis, and they are worth while coupons!!

Take a look at all the power wrapped up in one little square.

CASCADE® PLATINUM PACS

What it is: Cascade© Platinum Pacs deliver the most powerful clean available from Cascade while simultaneously helping to maintain the sparkling look of your clean dishwasher interior.

How it works: Cascade© Platinum Pacs feature an advanced triple action recipe that is specially designed to
leave dishware virtually spot-free and help prevent the build-up of hard-water film on dishwasher walls.

*Use a dishwasher cleaner to remove existing build-up on wall interiors.*

Why you need it: Cascade© Platinum Pacs achieve a top-tier clean so powerful that they even help keep your dishwasher machine sparkling and deliver a variety of dish care benefits:

• Powers away tough, 24 hour stuck-on food
• Eliminates the need to pre-wash dishes
• Helps maintain the look of new machines and helps prevent additional hard-water build-up
• Delivers exceptional dishware shine

About Cascade Platinum Technology:

Cascade Platinum features a premium, advanced triple-action formula specially designed to deliver Cascade’s best-in-market performance:

• Increased enzyme power delivers better tough food cleaning than Cascade Complete Pacs

• Unique liquid-top dual surfactant system delivers exceptional shine for the dishes AND helps keep your dishwasher sparkling

• Specially designed chelant and polymer system helps prevent hard-water film build-up on your dishes, glasses and even the interior walls of your dishwasher

• The chelant is designed to fight Calcium that comes in with hard-water and food to help deliver virtually film-free dishes wash after wash

Those little squares pack quite a wallop when it comes to cleaning.

I have thrown cake pans, brownie pans and spaghetti sauce pans in the dishwasher, and they all come out spotless.

Even people like Gail Simmons (Top Chef Judge) know how great Cascade is and what a truly clean plate represents!!

*Cascade’s Partnership with Gail Simmons:

Now, more than ever, people eat with their eyes, and the evidence is all over sites like Facebook and
Instagram. With that in mind, Top Chef judge and editor of Food+Wine magazine, Gail Simmons, has
partnered with Cascade to discuss why presentation is just as important as preparation.

· From prep to plating: It’s more than just a great-tasting recipe, but also perfect presentation.
Sparkling dishes, shining flat ware and spot-free glasses truly let you put your best food forward
with culinary creations that pop!

· Gail recommends impressing with a Platinum Presentation: “The easiest recipes pop with
unexpected, gourmet presentations. Drizzle bright sauces on sparkling white plates or layer
desserts in crystal-clean glassware. Keep your presentation sparkling with Cascade Platinum,
which keeps dishes perfect for anytime entertaining and impromptu guests.”

Right now Cascade is running a terrific promotion where each week for four weeks, two lucky winners are going to get a new Whirlpool Dishwasher, and one lucky Grand Prize winner will get a Platinum Kitchen Makeover.

You probably haven't realized this yet, but I am a HUGE Disney fan!!! (Shocking huh!!) We also LOVED the new Oz The Great and Powerful Movie. (Who didn't!!) I was very excited (and so were my boys) to see that Mickey came out with his own version of the wonderful land of Oz!!

Minnie and her magical green shoes are trying to get home. She has help from her friends Mickey "Tin Mouse," Goofy "Scarecrow," and Donald "Lion!!"

Along the way, they have to deal with "Bad Witch" Pete and his tricks to take Minnie's special shoes!!

With a lot of singing and Disney fun, you and your kids will love this and want to help the gang!!

Hershey´s Cookies `n´ Creme Cereal Review And Giveaway

noreply@blogger.com (Sarah Coulsey) — Tue, 11 Jun 2013 21:26:00 +0000

Disclosure: I was not financially compensated for this post. The opinions expressed are 100% my own. I did receive the same prize pack for review purposes. The information and prize pack have been provided by General Mills through MyBlogSpark.

Now you can enjoy the delicious taste of Hershey’s Cookies ‘n’ Creme in a breakfast cereal from Big G.

With an irresistible taste the whole family will love from a brand you trust, new Hershey’s Cookies ‘n’ Creme cereal is made from 100% whole grains with at least 14g of whole grain per serving (at least 48g recommended daily).

Best of all, Hershey’s Cookies ‘n’ Creme cereal has only 9 grams of sugar per serving and is a good source of Calcium, Vitamin D, and 10 other essential vitamins and minerals.

I have two kids (three if you count the husband) and I swear all they do is eat, eat, eat!!

The little ones go through spurts where one day they eat non stop then the next day they eat nothing. The big one just eats non stop!!

When it comes to cereal, we are all fans. When the box came in with the new Cookies 'n' Creme cereal, I had four sets of eyes waiting for some (Sammy was waiting too!)

I have to admit, this cereal is really good!! It tastes a lot like cookies and cream ice cream!!! It is not overly sweet but has enough sweetness to help with those sugar cravings!! Our box of cereal was gone with in an hour!!!

The boys were also very happy to get to use the cereal dispenser. They both remembered using one like it at the last hotel we stayed at. I put two different cereals in the dispenser, and I let them pick which one they want each morning.

I love the bowls that came with the package. They have separate containers for the milk and cereal, plus the container that holds the milk freezes, so you can keep the milk cold. We are heading to Disney World in September and are leaving early in the morning. I know the kids wont want to eat right away, but they will before we hit the airport which is over an hour away. This way I can keep the milk cold, and they will be happy!!

Over all I love this package, and I think you will too!! How would you like to win one??

One lucky reader is going to win the same package I got!! Pretty cool huh!!

Oz The Great And Powerful On DVD Tomorrow!!

noreply@blogger.com (Sarah Coulsey) — Mon, 10 Jun 2013 16:34:00 +0000

AN INTERVIEW WITH JAMES FRANCO FOR THE IN-HOME

BLU-RAY COMBO PACK AND DVD RELEASE OF

OZ THE GREAT AND POWERFUL

Disney’s fantastical adventure Oz The Great And Powerful uncovers the origins of the beloved wizard character first brought to life in L. Frank Baum’s book The Wonderful Wizard Of Oz. As a cinematic prequel to the book, the eye-popping action follows the story of Oscar Diggs, a small-time circus magician with dubious ethics. When Diggs is hurled away to the vibrant Land of Oz, he thinks he’s hit the jackpot – until he meets three witches, who aren’t convinced he’s the great wizard everyone is expecting. Reluctantly drawn into epic problems facing Oz and its inhabitants, Oscar must find out who is good and who is evil before it’s too late.

Sam Raimi is the acclaimed director behind the action-packed spectacle, which boasts a stellar cast including James Franco as Oscar Diggs, the predestined wizard; Mila Kunis as the tormented young witch Theodora; Rachel Weisz as Theodora’s older sister, Evanora, the witch who rules over the Emerald City; and Michelle Williams as Glinda, the good witch.

With the Blu-ray Combo Pack and DVD of Oz The Great And Powerful about to be released, we chat to James Franco to discover more about the project…

Is it true that you trained with acclaimed Las Vegas magician Lance Burton in order to tackle the role of Oscar Diggs?

That’s very true. We shot the movie in Detroit and they hired Lance Burton to come out and train me there. [Oz The Great And Powerful director] Sam Raimi was very insistent that I have two weeks of magic training, so I went to Detroit two weeks early in order to do that.

What magic tricks did you learn?

Lance taught me a lot of tricks, so I got to the point where I could materialize doves out of nowhere. I start with a flame in my hand and then I turn it into a dove. Or I take off my gloves and I turn them into a dove. I also know a ‘rabbit out of the hat’ trick and other things like that. I did all that work and then the scenes that were going to feature the magic tricks turned out to be too long, so they were quickly cut from the finished movie. We never got to see them on the big screen.

Do you know enough tricks to entertain at a children’s birthday party?

Sure, I could do that! A lot of the tricks involve intricate preparations, so I would need an assistant like Lance Burton to help me set them up – but I could pull it off. If you have any kids parties and you want to pay me a lot, I’ll definitely come and do it. [Laughs]

What does magic mean to you?

I wouldn’t say I am the biggest magic enthusiast, but I do enjoy that world. What’s the name of the guy who works with David Mamet? Ricky Jay. I really enjoyed his show, Ricky Jay & His 52 Assistants at the Geffen in Los Angeles. He’s a huge magic scholar. I would say that I definitely like the world of magic, but I am not a magic specialist.

What does the fantasy genre mean to you?

The first movie that I can remember seeing in theaters was Jim Henson’s The Dark Crystal. I guess I liked it so much that my parents kept taking us back to see it over and over again. I saw it many times in the theater, so that maybe started the ball rolling for me with fantasy. Soon after that, my father read The Hobbit to me, and that was one of the main books that started my love of reading. That’s what got me reading the Oz books of Frank L. Baum, on which this movie is based. If we are talking about fantasy books, those were the two things that really sparked my imagination: the Oz books and the Tolkien books. It all started from there.

What is it like to work with Sam Raimi on a project like this?

Sam is one of the most fun directors to work with. A director really sets the tone of how people go about things, so when you have someone like Sam involved, everybody is happy. He’s a very collaborative director, not just with the actors but with all departments and it really makes people want to do their best because they all feel like they are a big part of the movie. I love working with Sam. I’d do anything with him.

What did you enjoy the most about working with the various witches of Oz: Theodora, played by Mila Kunis; Evanora, played by Rachel Weisz, and Glinda, played by Michelle Williams?

It was great because they all played very different witches, so the scenes that I played with all of them were all very different. With Mila’s character, Theodora, I play more of a seducer and charmer. Rachel’s character is trying to dupe me, so I play a little bit more of a fool or a buffoon with her. And then with Michelle’s character, Glinda, it’s more of a straightforward romance. It was nice to have that variety.

How would you describe your female co-stars?

I got to work with three of the best actresses working today, which was very exciting. They are all very different actresses, and they all played very different parts. But one thing I can say about them all is the fact that they are very good at doing research and background on their characters. I think Michelle read most of the books and did a bunch of research that really manifested itself in her scenes. She was very focused on detail. And with Rachel, we only had one or two scenes together, but she was very good at improvising and looking for alternative takes once we’d got the scripted scene down.

What was it like to work with Mila Kunis?

Mila is amazing. She’s a very talented actress who is great to work with because she’s so collaborative. She’s very open and she’s very quick on her feet. When I first met with [Oz The Great And Powerful producer] Joe Roth and Sam Raimi, they were already talking to Mila – and that was a big plus for me.

The sets created for the movie are incredibly impressive, but there was also a lot of blue screen work. Do you prefer to work on movies where you have to use your imagination and blue screen? Or do you prefer the ultra-realistic work of movies like 127 Hours?

I don’t prefer one or the other. I don’t think like that. When I look at a new film project, I don’t say, “Oh, I love independent films. That’s the only time I get to do what I truly love.” And I don’t say, “I only want to do big budget films.” I just think about what one wants to achieve with the film. With this film, half of the movie is a fantastical world that needs to be created in a particular way that costs a lot of money, so this movie needed to be made by a big studio. I was really happy and excited to be involved with it. I think it’s great.

You’re an actor, a producer, a writer, a director and a teacher… Is there anything left for you to conquer in the entertainment industry?

There’s always more to learn. I guess it would be cool to write a play one day. I love the theater and I love going to plays, so that might be good for me. I’ve only acted in small theaters in Los Angeles, but I like acting on stage in front of live audiences, so that would also be great. Who knows what’s next? I’ll guess we’ll just have to wait and see…
