Thoughts;

I noticed that there are 2 vendors listed that didn't come in this box. I wonder if their items didn't arrive in time or if the sender simply didn't have enough for each box.

I loved this, this is the first time I ever actually purchaed one of these types of boxes and it's wonderful! It's a great way to show tons of support for several people all at once. All items were donated and all money after shipping was sent to Rebecca.

Several of the vendors also sent along a coupon code to use with your next purchase, which is awesome, just another reason to support amazing vendors.

Local Event; 2018 Pet Expo

Local Event; Pet Expo.

This is more of a rant and I'll include the information from the actual event. I am just very disappointed at what this has turned into.

The even itself was due to be 3 days, however due to weather the weekend days were cancelled, we were able to attend the Friday opening.

I'm sure every place that has an event center hosts a pet expo, or something similar. These events should be geared towards animals of all kinds and be fun. We have been going since my youngest was about 3.

When we first started going the event was housed in just one building and it was so packed that you could hardly walk. They had a petting zoo and lots of animals to touch and learn about.

Last year, 2017 it was amazing! They opened it up to two buildings, when you first walked in you were where they did all the dog shows (Pier Dogs, Police Dog Demo and so forth) they also added a grooming competition. Walking to the next building you went through the petting zoo and farm animals, then when you got into the next building all the booths were there, lined up nicely so that you could walk down the isles and shop, you could also bring your own pets, which was awesome!

This year I had won 4 tickets for the Pet Expo from our local radio station. We had decided to again go on a Friday since it's slower and less people, right after all the kids were home from school. First, the radio station only gave me 2 tickets, my bad for not checking the envelope first, then we get there, walk in as normal, we see the pool for the Pier Dogs and the agility course set up. There is one booth of Western Gear there. We turn to walk down to the petting zoo only to find it's the dog grooming competition. Ok, maybe it's in another part. The second building are booths. The first one we encounter is teeth whitening, next to them is a chiropracter. Why?! What is the point of either of these being at a pet expo! The chiropracter was for humans, not animals, if it were for animals I could understand.

We get in and there are all the booths along with the K9 area for the police dog demo.

Well, ok, we will shop and check out all the rescues. Some of the booths shouldn't be here, gutters?! Essential Oils, most of which are hazardous for animals. A dip booth, yes, chips and dips. I don't get it. When we finally get to the back, still no petting area, a group would come and take pictures for you with animals, they would sell them, we always did it. It was awesome!

Needless to say, we left disappointed. We wasted time and money. Yes, it was nice to see all the rescues and play there fun games (well for the kids) but that's it. The kids were bored as was I.

I do understand that they expo center can't help who signs up and who doesn't, but why the grooming competition? You turned a family fun event into a snobby dog owner event, which is not what it should be.

I'm not sure if we will go next year, or even attempt it based on the disappointment of this year. Here is the list of vendors we encountered and my thoughts;

Vendors that belonged at a Pet Expo.

Woof N' Wear

Yellow Dog Treats

The following booths/vendors I'm on the fence about if they should be allowed at a pet event;

Appleberry Treasures. This was like a collectors booth. Yes, all their wears were animals but they were pricey and it was almost craft sale then pet expo.

Liberty Mutual-Ok, so pet owners do need insurance and they do need insurance to also protect their pets, but a whole booth?

State Farm Events; Same as above

Lake of the Woods Campground. I get it, but most camp sites allow well behaved leashed pets, so why is this one any different?

NuKleen Products. This one is a cleaning supply type company, so I get with dogs and cats you need to clean up and eliminate odors, but really?

Ambrosius Studios. A photography booth where they were taking pictures of your animals.

Giddy UP Western Wear & Pet Supply

Now in my opinion the following should have been told “No, sorry this is an event for and about animals”

One Medical Center, LLC

A Spice Above

Advanced Beauty

InnovationX

Sherwoods Fabulous Fudge LLC. So maybe this one should have gone up a category.

Silver State Family Publishers

doTERRA Essential Oils

Optimus Prime finds his dead home planet, Cybertron, in which he comes to find he was responsible for it's destruction. He finds a way to bring Cybertron back to life, but in order to do so, Optimus needs to find an artifact that is on Earth.

Thoughts;

Don't watch this. Just say No. It's way too long and it will loose your attention. Yes, it has the same humor type as the other transformers, and Mark Wahlberg is fine, without him this movie would have been even worse.



The story line also doesn't make sense as if you go back to the first movie the how is completely different. There is back and forth and I got lost in the plot.



The movie started out really strong and the direction made sense, but once it changed direction it just went down hill.

Thoughts;

This came pretty quick. I saw a facebook post and ordered on 3/28, I paid $15 no extra shipping and it arrived on 4/4.

I know with a new company ticks and things need to be worked out and that doesn't always happen until after opening.

The labels are really hard to read. I had previously copied and pasted the scents and descriptions for the main scents of the sampler, I had forgotten that until I started writing this which would have been helpful during my video!

There wasn't an invoice or a note or anything, I prefer to get the invoice just so I know, in case I accidently deleted the email. Please it's an extra touch to write “Thank You”

As this is paraffin wax there is no cure time so it can be melted right away. Everything smells strong on cold

Very close to synopsis; Thor is imprisoned on the other side of the universe and finds himself in a race against time to get back to Asgard to stop Ragnarok, the destruction of his homeworld and the end of Asgardian civilization, at the hands of an all-powerful new threat, the ruthless Hela

Thoughts;

I have watched all the Thor movies and most of the Marvel movies that would go with it. This one was by far the least interesting.



There was some weird humor in this one, some would be ok, but there was way too much of it. The movie was pretty long, which is normal but you would think that Thor would have been aware of his sister. Even if not in the movie plot.



I liked Jeff Goldblum as the Gamemaster, that was fun, the whole part where Thor was stuck on Sakaar was good, it was funny and that's when the hulk came in.



All in all if you like the Thor Movies you would most likely like this movie but for me, it wasn't the best
