Barbie

★★★★ Barbie can do anything. From driving in her candy-coated pink convertible to her career as a journalist to flying out of this world to outer space as an astronaut, Barbie has had over 250 inspirational careers — she's perfect. But in this 2023 Barbie movie release, we learned several of Barbie's flaws: She's absolutely terrified of change She's "stereotypically" superficial She's self-absorbed and never chooses her partner She refuses to wear flat shoes She's completely oblivious to real-world struggles and insecurities Barbie, starring Margot Robbie, is a magical satirical musical. However, it contains some suggestive themes and visuals, which landed the movie a PG-13 rating. Now, you can watch Barbie, and more classics like this, on Amazon Prime Video. Wanna watch?

When she encounters Ursula, a wicked sea witch played by Melissa McCarthy, Ms. Red-Hair Don't Care makes the ultimate sacrifice that could destroy her father's kingdom and silence her forever — and for good.

But once they become separated between two worlds, we witness the treacherous journey that takes place as they travel the course to find each other. Will Mario and Luigi be reunited once more? If you grew up in the 90s, you're probably wondering if Yoshi will be making a cameo. The answer is no.

Lemme Vitamins | CaressaLosier.com

Lemme Review

Lemme is Kourtney Kardashian-Barker's supplement line and it's now available on Amazon. One comfy night of binge-shopping on Prime, I loaded my cart with several bestsellers from the line to see if Lemme vitamins were really worth the hype. I committed to taking Lemme vitamins for two weeks (14 days), and I'm going to share my honest opinion with you, so you'll know what to expect. About Lemme Lemme is a "clean" vitamin and supplement line created by Kourtney Kardashian-Barker. These clean supplements are made with simple ingredients that are clearly labeled, and contain limited processing and preservatives. I purchased the following Lemme products on Amazon: Lemme Matcha: Energy B12 Gummies Lemme Sleep: Sleep Tight Gummies Lemme Sea: Irish Sea Moss Liquid Drops After years of searching for the perfect supplement, I said lemme do it myself. Kourtney Kardashian Barker, Creator of Lemme Shop Lemme on Amazon What I Think of Lemme Vitamins Lemme Matcha Energy B12 Gummies ★★★★★ Since I love matcha and green tea is a staple in my diet, I knew I would love the Lemme Matcha Gummies. Not only are they bursting with flavor, but they are also highly effective. I like to take these in the morning before work and before a workout. Within 15-30 minutes, I can usually start to feel the energy surging through my body. I noticed that this product also helps boost my mood and focus levels. Will I purchase the Lemme Matcha Energy B12 Gummies, again? Absolutely. They are soft, savory, and energy-boosting. I will be sure to add this product to my wellness arsenal, for those moments when I need to put a little pep in my step. I Want It Lemme Sleep: Sleep Tight Gummies ★★★★ For 14 days, I have been taking Sleep Tight Gummies to see if they work. Two gummies are 20 calories and contain 5mg of melatonin. It is suggested to take up to two each night. From my experience, these gummies take effect in 15 minutes, if taken as directed. To be completely honest, the flavor is not exceptional, and with a price tag of $29.99, it's more affordable and just as effective to pick up a bottle of melatonin from your local pharmacy and pair it with a hot cup of chamomile tea. Will I purchase the Lemme Sleep: Sleep Tight Gummies, again? Probably. After all, they are effective. I Want It Lemme Sea: Irish Sea Moss Liquid Drops ★★★ I've always wanted to try taking Irish sea moss, so I was excited to see that Lemme offered it in droplet form. However, it tastes terrible. Since I'm no quitter, I committed to taking at least three drops under the tongue per day. That's about all I could stomach. Lemme Sea Irish Sea Moss Liquid Drops: Contain vitamin D3 and biotin Are made with USDA-certified organic Irish Sea Moss Although up to 30 Lemme Sea Irish Sea Moss droplets could be taken per day, I limited my serving to three droplets per day because the taste was hard to bear. These droplets have a thick consistency and if I could describe the flavor, I...

Threads: Instagram’s New Twitter

First Facebook, then Instagram and WhatsApp. Now, we can add the Threads app to Meta's social media roster. Threads (available on both Android and IOS) is an extension of Instagram, but it's a Twitter dupe, only with a much more uplifting undertone. Like Twitter, it aims to get users to strike up a dialogue online, sans one of the web's most essential elements used to connect users to their interests—the hashtag. Hashtags are keyword phrases followed by the hash symbol, that enables online users to follow relevant information on a subject. With no way to look up topics on your own, Threads is powered by bright minds who strike up engaging conversations, and the individuals that interact with those who do. Toodaloo, Twitter Can there only be one popular text-based conversational app? As Twitter hangs on by a thread, Meta creates its own. Its simple, yet very familiar interface consists of a minimalist-style dashboard with a scroll-down style (that is very similar to Twitter's) intuitive menu. Why It Works Although Threads is a direct competitor of Twitter, it lacks many of the features that make Twitter distinct. Some of these several features include: Ads/Monetization Audio (Twitter Spaces) Direct messages Hashtag search capabilities Language translation Lists Polls Timeline customization Trending hashtags Getting Started With Threads by Meta For those who have yet to dip into the Threads pond, you're probably wondering if Threads is worth mastering, or if it will be just another fad. One of the advantages of using Threads is it's simple to use and with minimal features, it's also easy to grasp. As you navigate the app, here are some good tips to consider: You can add up to 500 characters of text You can add links You can add up to 10 photos or videos to create a carousel You can upload videos that are up to 5 minutes long You can upload GIFs (using a GIF keyboard or downloaded GIFs) Your video will display as 9:16 Your blocked list will be automatically transported to Threads Secret Threads Features While the Threads app appears to be simple and straightforward, there are some hidden features available that can also add more excitement to your experience on the app. You can modify who you receive likes and replies from (Settings - Notifications - Threads and Replies) You can receive reminders to take a break from Threads (Settings - Account- Take a Break) Mute profiles and view a list of the accounts you have muted (Settings - Privacy - Muted) View all of your interactions with Verified users you follow (Profile - Toggle from Threads to Verified) Exploring Threads on Your Own There's a new social media app in town. The Threads app by Meta is Twitter, but without the flashy ads, loud opinions, and drama. Oh, and without the hashtags. That means, you can forget navigating through the app for easy access to interest-based content. The beauty of Threads is that digital hustle and bustle of browsing through a sea of ideas and personalities (mostly from people who used to be minimized down to photos and...

Best Phones Forever | CaressaLosier.com

Meet Google Pixel 7 Pro: iPhone’s Friendly Rival

For years, the Apple iPhone has remained undefeated in the smartphone industry. Just last year, Counterpoint Research released a list of the Global Top 10 Best-Selling Smartphones and Apple iPhones dominated the top 3. In fact, 8 out of 10 of the highest-selling smartphones were born by the Apple brand. Now a new phone by Google has emerged claiming to be superior in many areas. Meet Google Pixel 7! #BestPhonesForever: Plateau https://youtu.be/MIeJ-etE36o Plateau is all about the iPhone's 14th birthday. and in this scene, the iPhone confides in Google Pixel on its glory days and basks in memories of when it used to be the phone of choice for consumers. Funny, according to our research, it still is. "When I was your age, people were showing me off to their friends," said the iPhone. But it wasn't only the popularity of the iPhone that is being challenged. In the commercial, the Phone is no longer considered the cool phone on the block, thanks to these features from the Google Pixel 7: Clearer higher-quality photos Astrophotography mode Call assist 30x zoom #BestPhonesForever: Lifesaver https://youtu.be/0LD5yMUf6KA Lifesaver is all about promoting the Google Pixel's Battery Share capabilities. When iPhone dies, Google Pixel saves its life by jumping on top of it and using its innovative new feature to recharge its friend's battery. This is one of several features the Google Pixel 7 is built with that no iPhone model has, but is it enough to convert loyal Apple iPhone users? Sketchy Wifi https://youtu.be/vv5xN1m-LIM Sketchy Wifi aims to promote the Google Pixel 7's new build-in VPN feature. Unlike iPhone, Google Pixel 7 claims it can safeguard your information from hackers, positioning the smartphone as a safer option for consumers. Is our fear of being hacked strong enough to make the switch from iPhone to Google Pixel? Seeing Stars https://youtu.be/QZ0zoWkzCvE Seeing Stars promotes the Google Pixel 7's astrophotography mode, a feature Apple iPhones lack. But in a world of technology-addicted humans, that could be a hard sell. While astrophotography sounds cool, it may not be as common as Google makes it seem. #BestPhonesForever: Opening Up https://youtu.be/SQStRSw0Fvw "Do you ever wonder if there's something bigger out there? Something just totally new?" When the question was posed in Opening Up, it was revealed that the Google Pixel has an innovative new feature. In the process, a few more of Google Pixel 7's latest features were also revealed: A magic eraser that can remove undesirable from your pics. A VPN that keeps your info safe. A folding phone version of the Google Pixel 7 is available. While a folding phone may be new to Gen X, this is nothing new to users of the classic 90s flip phone, or the ever-so-popular Blackberry Flip phone. Why It Works Who's scared of a little competition? Consumers aren't. One of the reasons this advertisement works is because it shakes up the market, giving other competitors and consumers hope that a change for the better is on its way. Whether it is or isn't, the excitement of a new product on the market keeps people on our toes and gives us something...

6 Must-Have Crocs Charms and Jibbitz to Buy on Amazon

In 2006, Crocs acquired Jibbitz and 17 years later, they have become a staple in what makes Crocs shoes so special. For ventilation purposes, Crocs have always had holes. Today's Crocs sport portholes, or the holes designed to insert Jibbitz onto a Crocs shoe. From Goth Crocs to Kawaii Crocs, this has led to a phenomenon that empowers us fashion-forward individuals to express ourselves by designing our shoes to suit our unique interests and lifestyles. Once my Crocs Mega Crush Sandals arrived, I couldn't wait to start designing my own pair of customized Crocs. So I put my Prime membership to use and spent around $80 total on these must-have Crocs charms and Jibbitz on Amazon. 6. Crocs Jibbitz Deep Color Gem 5-Pack Crocs Jibbitz Deep Color Gem 5-Pack, Amazon.com These oversized, deep-color gemstones make my white Crocs Mega Crush sandals look regal and sleek. The pearl ensemble in the front elevates the look, and can accentuate white toes or a French manicure. The Crocs Jibbitz come as a 5-pack, so I purchased two to replace the style on both sandals at $24.99 each. I Want These 5. Crocs Jibbitz Double Chain 5-Pack If you're feeling edgy, add these to your white Mega Crush sandals. The thick gold chain elevates the look, while the short pearls and studded crystal give it a feminine allure. I had to have these, so I purchased two at $24.99 each. If they are an absolute must-have for you too, I can tell you they were worth every penny to me. I Want These 4. ZOKLU Croc Shoe Charms, Bling Fashion Crystal Diamond Pearl Charms There's something about these ZOKLU Croc Shoe Charms that screams soft punk glam. Could it be the sharp gold geometric shapes, or the transparent strikes strategically marking each corner of my feet's upper arch? What I love most about these is it comes with 24 pieces. Although the gold color looks like it may fade away fast, it was an affordable option that gives expensive when they're new and fresh out of the box. I Want These 3. Crocs Jibbitz Ethereal 5-Pack By combining the Crocs Jibbitz Etheral 5-Pack with some of the gold ZOKLU Croc Shoe Charms, I created a sleek, but color-vibrant look. By separating the deep green droplets, it draws more attention to them at each corner. Since this was a 5-pack and I purchased one, only 4 out of 5 gems were added to the sandals in this photo. I Want These 2. Acwenie Bling Shoe Charms Jewelry Accessories 21 Pcs Acwenie Bling Shoe Charms are an affordable and super cute option to accessorize your Crocs Mega Crush sandals. In terms of fashion, they are giving 1990s circa Mariah Carey Butterfly pop princess. However, there are a few things you should know about these Crocs charms. For starters, one of the charms broke immediately after photographing the photo above. It does come with 21 charms, but the low quality makes me wonder how long they will last. I...
