Speck is one the leading products for protecting our electronic devices. I’ve had a Speck case on my iPhone for a couple years and it’s always provided the support and safety that I’m looking for. This year, I’ve been lucky enough to review a couple of their products that I’m really excited to share with you!

I recently received three products from Speck:

1 MacBook Pro with Retina case 13″ – Calypso Blue
This is the item that I was most excited about. I love these cases for MacBooks! This case is incredibly light weight and easy to put on your MacBook. The color was a bit more vibrant than it looked on screen but I’ve already received a few compliments on it and it really makes it POP! It’s also a great protector in case anything gets on the top of the case, it’ll wipe right off.

Something that I love about Speck cases is that there are so many to choose from! Depending on the type of case, design, color or material used, the options are really endless and the hardest part is picking one! These two cases are some of my favorites from their site. I really love the colors – it allowed me to find a case that is not similar to what other people are using. The grips on the side of the iPhone 5 case help to hold my case and keep it from slipping out of my hard or off a table. The Candyshell case is something that I really love. My old case had been thru the ringer and was a Candyshell so I know that it will protect my phone.

There’s so many style and color options for not only Apple products (iPhones, watches, MacBooks, iPads) but Samsung and Kindles as well. If you are looking for a specific case, this is your spot.

Texas Family Film

Release Date: December 5, 2014

Calling all of those to show their Texas pride, love for music and the ambition to follow their dreams. The One I Wrote For You is a San Antonio made and family filmed movie set to release on December 5th, 2014.

Based in San Antonio, the story is of Ben who is a father, husband and employee of a local coffee shop who’s dreams of becoming an accomplished songwriter seem so very long ago. With the encouragement of his ten year old daughter and loved ones, Ben is pushed to follow his dreams on a reality television show. With disappointment and discouragement, Ben is provided an opportunity. He is challenged to face his fears, push himself and not lose himself in the process.

This is a great Texas based film to kick off the holiday’s. It reminds us to be aware of our support system, to follow our dreams no matter how out of reach they may seem but most importantly – we don’t need to lose ourselves in the process. A feature film for those of all ages, we can all take something home and maybe receive a little affirmation and push to chase that thought that we’ve put away so long ago.

Director: Andrew Lauer
Screenplay / Music Composition / Story / Produced by: David Kauffman
Cast: Kevin Pollak, Christopher Lloyd, Cheyenne Jackson, Christine Woods

Staying Active with a Healthy Snack – Outshine Fruit Bars

I am a member of the Collective Bias® Social Fabric® Community. This shop has been compensated as part of a social shopper insights study for Collective Bias and their client.

198Over the last year, keeping active and eating healthier has become a larger part of my life. Eating healthier is the harder of the two, would you not agree? One of my biggest challenges has been finding healthy snacks and when I do, I like to share them! My nemesis has been ice cream but I’ve recently found my healthy alternative – Outshine Fruit Bars, made with all fruit and still satisfies my cravings for something sweet!

Outshine Fruit Bars #shop #realfruitbarI’m in Texas and if you haven’t noticed I’m usually on the go. It’s obvious the “cool” tasting snacks will get us hooked quickly as it’s pretty warm here the majority of the year. After a day of biking, running, being out on the boat, or just staying in for a movie it’s fairly easy to just reach into the freezer and grab what’s there. I’ve just had to make sure it’s something healthy to keep myself energized and feeling great.

Healthy Snacks #shop #realfruitbar

Instead of a bowl of something sweet, I grab an Outshine Fruit Bar. Sometimes, I’ll pair it with humus and low fat tortilla chips or a banana after a long run. The portion is perfect, still cool enough to hit the spot on a hot day and it’s great to take on the go! Whether I’m heading to the lake, bike trail or a BBQ with friends, these frozen bars are a great option!

Outshine Fruit Bars are a healthy snack option made with real natural fruit or fruit juice with many flavor options. Gluten, corn syrup and fat-free (except for Creamy Coconut) and a great source of Vitamin C. Even if I’m not getting that Vitamin C from the sun, I’m still catching it with the fruit bars. The best part is that since they are so healthy and taste so good, there’s no guilt with reaching into the freezer for one anytime!
