Pirates of the Caribbean on Stranger Tides Review...


Produced by Jerry Bruckheimer and directed by Rob Marshall, “Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides” captures the fun, adventure and humor that ignited the hit franchise—this time in Disney Digital 3D™. Johnny Depp returns to his iconic role of Captain Jack Sparrow in an action-packed adventure. Crossing paths with the enigmatic Angelica (Penélope Cruz), he’s not sure if it’s love—or if she’s a ruthless con artist who’s using him to find the fabled Fountain of Youth. 


When she forces him aboard the “Queen Anne’s Revenge,” the ship of the legendary pirate Blackbeard (Ian McShane), Jack finds himself on an unexpected adventure in which he doesn’t know whom to fear more: Blackbeard or Angelica, with whom he shares a mysterious past. The international cast includes franchise vets Geoffrey Rush as the vengeful Captain Hector Barbossa and Kevin R. McNally as Captain Jack’s longtime comrade Joshamee Gibbs, plus Sam Claflin as a stalwart missionary and Astrid Bergès-Frisbey as a mysterious mermaid.


Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) finds himself on an unexpected journey to the fabled Fountain of Youth when a woman from his past (Penélope Cruz) forces him aboard the Queen Anne’s Revenge, the ship of the formidable pirate Blackbeard (Ian McShane).
My hubby and I went to the screening of this movie for a date night. We love all the Pirates of the Caribbean movies and part four is just as good as the other three. We loved seeing this in 3D on the IMAX screen. There are plenty of laughs, action and romance which is what we like in a movie. I like the mermaids in this one how they act all nice at first and then they turn mean and attack the pirates. I loved each time they showed the Black Pearl in the jar, it had the little monkey from the last movie still attached to it. This is a fun movie the whole family will enjoy.

Pouchee Review and Giveaway...

Thanks to Pouchee I was excited to try out some of their awesome products! 

The Pouchee Purse Organizer Inserts are designed to fit inside purses to make women’s lives easier and more organized. Not only does it have compartments for credit cards, cell phones, pens, sunglasses, and more- making it easy to find exactly what you're looking for- but it also makes changing bags for different occasions and outfits a breeze.

With the Pouchee Purse Organizer- all your essentials are in one organized place and handy rings lift the Pouchee Purse Organizer right out of your bag and into the new one - this is great for busy, fashion-conscience women because they can switch to coordinating purses in just a few seconds!

I love the Pouchee Plus in black! It is the larger version of the Pouchee Purse Organizer and comes with an optional shoulder strap. The Pouchee Plus is great for organizing large purses and for use as a small purse itself! I picked black so it would match with lots of the things in my wardrobe. I love being able to just grab the Pouchee Plus out of my large purse and use it as a small purse. It's a lot lighter to carry for just running in the grocery store etc. 

The outback pouchee purse organizer is so sturdy! I really like that it stays in place in my bag and doesn't tip over. I also like that it snaps to keep the items safely inside. It's made of high quality faux leather, this compact purse organizer makes keeping essentials in one place easy and transferring between bags has never been more simple! 

    The cotton pouchee purse organizer is made of sturdy yet supple canvas. I love that I can machine wash this organizer! The material is soft and flexible. Since I love purses it is great having them all organized inside. Makes finding things so much easier! I like the handy rings to pick them up easy when changing purses.

    Thank you so much Pouchee for the awesome products!

    Now here's the really exciting part...

    Thanks to Pouchee one lucky winner will get an organizer of their choice in their favorite color.

    Thanks to Enjoy Life Foods we got to try some of their new products out! They sent us the Semi-Sweet Chocolate Mega Chunks and also the Double Chocolate Crunch Granola.

    The Semi-Sweet Chocolate Mega Chunks...
    Rich, smooth and craveable, these chocolate chunks are the perfect addition to any recipe. Free of dairy, nuts and soy, these semi-sweet chunks satisfy everyone's chocolate cravings. Enjoy them in your favorite cookie or dessert recipe or by the handful. We used them in a cookie recipe we have and they turned out so yummy! We love the larger chunks instead of small chips. We even snacked on the left overs and really enjoyed them!

    The Double Chocolate Crunch Granola...
    Flavorful and crunchy, this granola can be enjoyed with rice milk or straight out of the bag. Vitamin fortified and made with whole grains. We tried this with milk and also as a snack and it's great both ways. The kids also liked it and thought it was yummy!

    At Enjoy Life, the whole business is making smile-good foods that keep people’s insides happy. That’s why all of their foods are specially made to be gluten-free and free of the 8 most common allergens. Their goal is to make delicious products that just about everyone can EAT FREELY.

    This is a cute movie. It's fun to see all the gnomes come to life when the humans are in the house or leave for the day. I liked the lawn mower race they had between the blue gnomes and the red gnomes, then the lady of the house goes to mow the lawn and the mower falls apart. That was pretty funny. When Gnomeo & Juliet meet for the first time, they are both fighting over a flower and flirting with each other. Then they look into each others eyes and fall in love.

    The Blu-ray also has plenty of special features including 2 alternate endings.
