Super Mario 3D Land Party & Game Review
November 17, 2011 by 8 Comments
We were recently invited to a wonderful event in Times Square in New York City to celebrate the release of the new 3DS game Super Mario 3D Land. This party included a full real life recreation of a few staples from the game, including Piranha flowers, bouncy blocks, question bricks, and even a slide. The best part was the jumpy blocks played the Mario jumping sound, and one of the Piranha flowers spit at you, while you were behind a clear shield.
Before everyone had their chance to play in 3D Land there were some parkour performers dressed as Mario that flipped, jumped and flew around. It was very neat- and I love to watch this in person there is a certain level of excitement when watching someone hop around in ways that seem to stretch reality a bit.
If you were one of the lucky peeps, you also received a Tanooki tail and ears to complete your Mario experience. No, they did not let you float slower while jumping, but they did look really cool and would make a good travel pillow because they were so soft and the perfect size. There is a new product line for you Nintendo! Tanooki tail travel pillow- feel free to use that one (LOL).
There was also mushroom pizza available for the low price of a tweet with a #Hashtag. Didn’t have magic properties but sustenance.
Ok ready, set- PLAY! Here is everything you have to know if you are a Mario fan. This is a very good Mario game. Get it, you will not be disappointed, I promise you this.
Super Mario 3D Land for the Nintendo 3DS is the most recent Mario game in a long line of superb games. For every system Nintendo releases they also release at least one Mario game, this is the first one for the 3DS. In Mario Land you take on the role of Mario, our Italian hero in blue and red as he tries to save the princess from the clutches of Bowser, and his cohorts Boom Boom and Pom Pom.
The first level of 3D Land acts as an introduction to the first 3D platforming Mario game ever. I will admit, at first I was apprehensive on a 3D Mario game. Mario is best known for his side scrolling adventures jumping from turtle shell to block, shooting fireballs and swinging his tail along the way. Within that first level I fell for it. Great fun, the 3D is seamless and [Read more…]

PRIZE PACK Moxie Girlz for the Nintendo DS
November 17, 2011 by 356 Comments
Be True! Be you!
That is the message behind Moxie Girlz for the Nintendo DS. On the surface this game doesn’t look like there is much to it, but when you dig a bit deeper you find the creativity in it. This isn’t your average video game for girls. In this game you can completely customize your Moxie Girl. You can customize with accessories hairstyles, fashion and everything in between. There is also a fashion play mode as well as mini games and art play. There is also the added feature of adding photos of yourself to the fun with your DSi or 3DS.
Movie Girlz is mostly geared toward the preteen girls, so the motto of be true to yourself is very important in my book. I see this especially in my daughter, who it seems like changes her opinion like the wind as her little friends at school change theirs, even if she has no idea what it is she ‘loves’ this week. An example is Justin Beeber, she said she loved him two years ago, but when asked who he is all she knew is he sang a song that goes, “Baby baby oh, baby baby oh”. She definitely needs to take the motto of Moxie Girlz to heart. She also thinks he is named Justin Beaver. So….yeah. Needs to form her own opinions a bit- I hope she will grow into that a little. (Girl Scouts and Sports should help, right? RIGHT???? Please? I am so not ready for a tween! AHHHHH!)
Here is a little more information for you-
Moxie Girlz for Nintendo DS provides hours of fun with thousands of art options and creations awaiting your personal touch! Customize your Moxie Girlz character and express your creativity in Fashion Play mode with dozens of hair styles, accessories and more. Share your deepest secrets and get lost in Journal and Diary Modes, or have fun with friends as you take the Moxie Girlz quizzes to find out which of the Moxie Girlz you and your friends resemble the most. Whether playing alone or with others, Moxie Girlz provides an interactive and encouraging environment where young girls can be whatever they want to be. Be true! Be you!

Customization: Pick which Moxie Girlz character you want to be or upload pictures of yourself.

And This Week on #NSNation @Nutrisystem
November 17, 2011 by 11 Comments
I have lost 1 pound this week. I am finding the super slow weight loss at the moment super frustrating- AHHHH!!!
I know, all good things in time- but I’m not getting any younger, LOL. Le sigh. Patience, right?
So, I have been frustrated. Can you tell? Haha. It’s a little hard not to eat all the stuff you LOVE while you watch (and sometimes cook for) everyone else eating it. But I guess no one gets overweight because they hate food, right? So I have lost 27 pounds, and I am happy about that. I have roughly 25 more pounds to go- and I know I will get there. This plan is easy to follow, and the support staff at Nutrisystem is fabulous- even if I am being pissy and frustrated, haha.
I need to do a little more in the way of exercise this week, last week I slacked a bit. But this is going to be an active week for me, so I hope I will make up for it. I also appreciate that this diet has been a “calm in my [Read more…]
