 Featured Sponsor



Have you heard, Valentine’s Day is coming up? Did you come up with a gift yet?
Let me make an easy suggestion for you, please buy your sweetie the Keurig MINI Plus Brewing System, because they will just adore it!

The MINI Plus Brewing System is not your average personal coffee maker! Not only can you make coffee, but you can also make cappuccino, latte, espresso, hot chocolate, tea and iced beverages. Essentially, Keurig beverage choices are limitless. What's great about this brewer is that is uses convenient K-Cups which are available at a variety of retailers. Each K-Cup contains a premeasured amount of coffee, tea, or hot chocolate. Just insert the K-Cup and brewing simply begins with the push of a button.

Keurig MINI Plus Brewing System

The MINI Plus Brewing System brews a perfect cup of coffee, tea, hot cocoa or iced beverage in under two minutes at the touch of a button. With the choice of three cup sizes, the MINI Plus brewer offers a removable drip tray to accommodate short travel mugs. To operate, you simply add fresh water into the single-use reservoir, choose your favorite K-Cup® portion pack, brew and enjoy.

Features:
  • Personal Brewer
  • Choice of 3 cup sizes (6 oz., 8 oz. and 10 oz.)

  • Energy Savings Mode – Auto Off after 90 seconds

Check out my full review of the Keurig's Special Edition Brewing System HERE.

Fun Additional Accessories 

I love all the additional accessories you can purchase to enhance your at home coffee experience, but my new obsession is the K-Cup™ Storage Dispenser. It contains two holders which keeps a total of 48 portion packs at your fingertips and is ideal for kitchen cabinets, pantries and countertops. A transparent area lets you easily see what flavor is available. The generous opening and slanted interior allows for easy filling and selection. Add more dispensers for unlimited storage of all your favorite K-Cup® varieties.
  • Includes two dispensers
  • Each dispenser holds 24 portion packs
  • Dimensions: 3.00" wide x 9.25" tall x 11.50" deep (each dispenser)

Why Not Try These Flavors?

Only available for a short period of time is my all-time favorite flavor, Golden French Toast by Green Mountain Coffee. 


Flavors of buttered French toast with a touch of cinnamon, drizzled with sweet maple syrup. Stock up now as this variety is available for a limited time only! It's super delicious and smells like heaven.




Not a coffee drinker, why not try, Cafe Escapes' Specialty Flavor Chai Latte or the new Swiss Miss Milk Chocolate Hot Cocoa. Both are delicious and adds a nice change to your regular coffee routine, plus, who doesn't LOVE hot cocoa, especially in the winter?!! Now, go ahead... grab your sweetie, snuggle up and sip some hot cocoa together topped with LOTS of marshmallows... ahhh, romantic, isn't it?

On it's first initial use, you must first auto-calibrate it. A super simple step prior to use.

Mostly A’s
 
You are most like a bowerbird! Bowerbirds are renowned for their unique (and crafty!) courtship behavior. Males will build structures (called bowers) out of sticks and brightly colored objects in an attempt to attract a mate. Bowerbirds are also extremely good at mimicking other creatures, including pigs, waterfalls, and human chatter. This complex behavior has led many to believe that bowerbirds are the most behaviorally complex species of bird. Bowerbirds are mainly found in varying parts of Australia.

Mostly B’s

You’re a riflebird! Male riflebirds are polygamous and known for their flashy mating “dance.” During this courtship display, the male will fully extend his wings, raise his tail and hop upward while swinging his head (allowing him to show off his blue-green breast shield). Female riflebirds observe this “dance” and, if satisfied, will reward the male by mating with him. The females then take care of their young without male assistance. These birds are mainly found in the rainforests of New Guinea and Northeastern Australia.


Mostly C’s

You are a blue tit! One thing that blue tits are known for is being “resident” birds, meaning that they do not migrate. Blue tits are very popular garden birds in Europe due to their perky acrobatic performances and interesting calls when feeding. Blue tits are also very protective of their nests and eggs, and exhibit a lot of excited behavior when feeding and nesting. Blue tits will also nest in any suitable hole, including artificial nesting boxes (most birds will not readily settle in an artificial nesting box).


Mostly D’s 
You’re most like a bar-tailed godwit! The bar-tailed godwit migrates in flocks to places like East Asia, Alaska, New Zealand, Australia, Africa and northwestern Europe. Bar-tailed godwits take the longest non-stop flight of any bird species, traveling from New Zealand to the Yellow Sea in China! These birds also share the responsibility of incubating and caring for their young between both the males and the females.

Summary: Let the countdown begin.  Leave the existing world behind and enter into a futuristic world where the aging gene is switched off after 25 and time is money, literally, that many can’t afford in the cutting-edge thriller IN TIME, arriving on Blu-ray and DVD January 31 from  Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment.  Featuring an all-star cast including  Justin Timberlake (The Social Network), Amanda Seyfried (Mamma Mia!) and Cillian Murphy (Inception), the film puts an innovative spin on class warfare and explores the corruptness that lies within.
