Even though winter just started, the weather has already changed. Although we can’t control the air outside, there is an easy way to improve the air inside your home.

Help your sinuses, cold, cough, skin, nasal passages, breathing and more with the use of a humidifier.

Humidifiers increase moisture in the air. You can use them in a single room or in a central air to circulate through the whole home.

After we began using the Honeywell Top Fill Cool Moisture Humidifier in our home, we began to breathe easier, our home felt warmer, and my family didn’t have anymore of those persistent dry coughs.

Easy Game Day Cocktails @SmirnoffUS #GameDayReady

Football season is in full swing. Time for tailgating, viewing parties, and filling the living room with family. As you plan your game day menu, replace basic beer with Smirnoff Ice‘s new line of malt beverages: Smirnoff Ice® Original Premium Flavored Malt Beverage, Smirnoff Ice® Moscow Mule, and Smirnoff Ice® Screwdriver Flavored Malt Beverage.

smirnoff-ice-game-day-pack

Whether you’re bringing a close to the weekend on Sunday or relaxing after a long day of work on Monday, these easy game day cocktails could be just the pick me up you need. Turn on your favorite football team, grab your snacks, and whip up these easy cocktails in a jiffy.

Smirnoff Ice® provided this Game Day Ready box complete with the Original, Moscow Mule, Screwdriver, Smirnoff Ice® mason jar for mixing, and a gift card to pick up other supplies.

We made two easy cocktails that you can have ready in about 5 minutes, each: Clementine Screwdriver and Passion Fruit Apple Mixer.

Although I am not a big football fan, you don’t have to give me an excuse to relax on the couch with my sweetie and an ice cold glass of something sweet & tangy. After grocery shopping, I scoured my fridge for some interesting combinations I could whip together in no time flat. I had lots of fruit and a new fruit juice on hand, so I thought I’d combine those with the new Smirnoff Ice® beverages.

clementine-drink

Clementine Screwdriver

INGREDIENTS

  • Smirnoff Ice® Screwdriver Flavored Malt Beverage
  • Clementine
  • Mason jar

INSTRUCTIONS
1. Place four clementine wedges into the bottom of the mason jar. Muddle (mash) the fruit with the back of a spoon or a muddler for more flavor. Add a wedge to the rim.
2. Fill half the jar with ice.
3. Finish it off by pouring Screwdriver Flavored Malt Beverage over top.

This cocktail is the perfect mixture of sweet, bursting with fruit flavor. Clementines are one of my favorite fruits this time of year, so it made sense to me to add it into this Touchdown cocktail to enjoy while watching my husband’s favorite football team play. I love rich color that the fruit gives to this drink. This drink is perfect as is but can easily be customized to a person’s individual taste.

Passion Fruit Apple Mixer

INGREDIENTS

  • Smirnoff Ice® Original Flavored Malt Beverage
  • 1 oz passion fruit juice
  • 1/2 cup peeled, diced Granny Smith apple
  • Mason jar

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Place apple into the bottom of the mason jar. Muddle (mash) the fruit with the back of a spoon or a muddler for more flavor.
2. Pour juice over fruit.
3. Fill half the jar with ice.
4. Finish it off by pouring Smirnoff Ice® Original Flavored Malt Beverage over top.

This cocktail is the perfect mixture of sweet and sour, bursting with fruit flavor. Granny Smith apples are one of my favorite apple varieties, so it made sense to me to add it into this Touchdown cocktail to enjoy while watching my husband’s favorite football team play. I love rich color that the fruit gives to this drink. This drink is perfect as is but can easily be customized to a person’s individual taste.

A Visit to @GoApeUSA #BloggersGoApe

A Go Ape Treetop Adventure Course is an outdoor experience that provides participants 2-3 hours of outdoor fun and exercise. The course allows participants to explore the park from an otherwise unobtainable vantage point while navigating through the treetops using zip lines, obstacles and tarzan swings.

20150809_110616Disclosure: We received complimentary tickets to facilitate this review. All opinions and experiences are my own.

We visited the Go Ape location in Williamsburg, VA (Freedom Park) and its Treetop Junior course. Once we got harnessed up, we walked along wooden boards and metal wires 20 feet above the ground before zipping back down to the ground.

Go Ape Treetop Adventure opened in Williamsburg’s Freedom Park in April 2012. Treetop Junior is the first Go Ape course in the United States designed and built for those young adventurers in your tribe to enjoy.

The course utilizes an easy to use safety system that will keep your youngster safe no matter the obstacles or challenge they come across.  Made up of 20 obstacles and 2 zip lines, Treetop Junior will provide a 1 to 1.5 hr experience that no chimp, baboon, or gorilla will soon forget!

Go Ape features two Treetop Junior courses: moderate and extreme. My five year old daughter and I enjoyed Course 1 (moderate), which featured about a dozen lines of varying level of challenge and configuration. My 12 year old son took Course 2 (extreme), which was a little more challenging, as it didn’t have a cable line that you could constantly hold on to. On both courses the safety systems are designed so that participants stay attached the whole time they are in the trees.

We were there on a hot Sunday morning, but the course is within the forest, so there was plenty of shade. Go Ape even has a water cooler by the start of the course so that you can easily re-hydrate yourself.

Overall, we had a great time. It took me out of my comfort zone, but was right up my 12 year old son’s alley, and gave my 5 year old daughter and I some much needed bonding time. The instructors were awesome and made us feel very confident and secure every step of the way.
