My Answer:

I like using Rafflecopter for all my giveaways because you can easily add a "like" Facebook page and follow someones twitter. Plus, it will randomly pick a winner for you.

It doesn't seem like it has been twenty years since the Power Rangers were first on television, but the franchise will officially turn 20 this September. Over the last six months, I have had the chance to review several of the Samurai DVD titles from Lionsgate. I guess you can say I got in the mood for more Power Rangers, so I ended up buying the original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Complete Series a few months back. Yes, I do realize the seasons' volumes have been slowly coming out on DVD, but I was interested in the two bonus discs that only come with the complete series.

I have seen the Nutrisystem commercials on television numerous times and I've always been curious if the program actually worked. Before, the only way to try out the program was by calling or going to the website, but that has now changed as you can buy the Nutrisystem 5-Day Jumpstart Your Weight Loss Kit at your local Walmart at $44.95, which is less than $9 a day! The kit is meant to help jumpstart your weight loss journey.

As many of my readers already know, I have been trying to get myself into shape this year, but the road has been a rocky one. Since I started a new workout program this week, I thought it would be a good time for me to try the 5-Day Kit. My first thought was to start the program today, but with tomorrow being the 4th I thought it would be best if I start it on Friday.

The kit is jam-packed with fifteen entries and five desserts.

Review:

Yes, the little blue Smurfs will be appearing on the big screen this summer in the sequel to the silly 2011 film. Warner Bros. is taking advantage of the new movie by releasing the classic the 1980's The Smurf cartoon series on  two new DVDs, Smurfs to the Rescue (out July 16th) and Smurftastic Journey. The latter is supposed to be released on October 15th, but I ran across it while I was browsing through the five dollar DVD bin at Walmart. I'm a big of the Smurfs, so I had to buy it.

The episodes on the release are:

Yep, I'm joining the Revolt uprising again. I was one the bloggers who tried the fitness program earlier this year, but I couldn't participate in the program for the past two months because a family emergency. There have been many trials for me over the course of those months resulting in a little weight gain and a bit of depression.

I've started to bounce back by keeping myself busy by reading a few books and working on some writing projects. To get myself back in shape, I've rejoined the Revolt Fitness Program, which is created by Nichole Huntsman.

I didn't exactly want to exercise this morning, so it took me a little while to talk myself into it. Eventually, I dragged out the a kettlebell and a stability ball, pulled the recliner out of the way, and went to http://revoltnowfitness.com for today's workout, which was Cardio: Guts & Butts Circuit. I couldn't get the video to work at first because I needed to update the java and flash in my browser. Once everything was ready, I began the workout. When I think of cardio, I think of running and kickboxing, but not with this workout as there were mostly squats. Normally, I would love doing squats, but since I have been a couch potato for several weeks, the squats were a drag, but I know I'll see results fairly quickly from the routine.
