"My Own" App: Measure and Track your Skin's Health

My Own By Own Products, Inc.

Using facial-recognition technology to track 50 points on your face, My Own app analyzes a photograph of the user and provides a clinical evaluation of the major signs of aging, along with nutrition, wellness and beauty recommendations based on individual aging results. The app assesses signs of aging by the number of fine lines, deep-set wrinkles, percentage of pigment and number of age spots. Those numbers are then compared to others in your age group.

Users take a photo of their faces, answer a few questions and indicate skin type and date of birth. Within two minutes of submitting this data, they receive an analysis of their complexion. The numbers are then compared to others in your age group. Upon the evaluation, you’ll receive a side-by-side comparison of the current submitted photo and a photo of what you could look like after following a recommended skin care and wellness regimen. There’s also a tracking tool, which lets you see how your complexion changes over time, motivating you to keep up the recommended skin care and wellness regimen. Own also encourages lifestyle modification tips, like sleeping on silk pillowcases to forestall wrinkles and eating potassium rich foods to decrease pigmentation.


HOW IT WORKS:

1. Simply take a photo of your face with the My Own app. Using exclusive facial recognition technology, this diagnostic tool will then provide you with beauty statistics helping you evaluate your skin's needs.

2. In five to fifteen minutes, My Own analyzes your face for the following measurements:
- Number of fine lines & wrinkles
- Number of deep set wrinkles
- Number of wrinkles associated with crow’s feet
- Percentage of total face covered with age spots (hyper-pigmentation)
- Number of total age spots (hyper-pigmentation)
- The variance of the age spots (hyper-pigmentation) from your natural skin tone

3. You will also receive a helpful evaluation of your skin’s health compared to other women within your peer group. You’ll then receive a projection of what your skin could look like based on real clinical results of women who used Own’s anti-aging CLA (conjugated linoleic acid) regimen.

4. Based on your personalized evaluation, Own will recommend personalized skin health tips and tools that empower you to take control of your skin’s health.

The app is free and is available in the App Store at: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/my-own/id538721173?ls=1&mt=8


Disclosure: I did not receive any products nor was paid for this post. Any expressed opinions are my own and personal thoughts and may differ from other consumers. No other compensation was given.

Disney's "Million Dollar Arm" Begins Production

Film Shooting in India, Georgia and Los Angeles

Principal photography has begun on Walt Disney Pictures’ “Million Dollar Arm,” starring Jon Hamm. Directed by Craig Gillespie (“Lars and the Real Girl,” “Fright Night”), the film is produced by Mark Ciardi and Gordon Gray, through their Mayhem Pictures, and Joe Roth, under his Roth Films banner, with Palak Patel and Kevin Halloran serving as executive producers. Tom McCarthy (“Win Win,” “The Visitor”) wrote the screenplay. The film also stars Bill Paxton (“Haywire,” “Hatfields & McCoys”), Lake Bell (“What Happens in Vegas,” “It’s Complicated”), Suraj Sharma (“Life of Pi”), Aasif Mandvi (“The Daily Show,” “Margin Call”), Madhur Mittal (“Slumdog Millionaire”), Pitobash (“Three Idiots,” “Shanghai”) and Academy Award®–winner Alan Arkin. A.R. Rahman (“127 Hours,” “Slumdog Millionaire”) is scoring the film. “Million Dollar Arm” will shoot on locations in India, Georgia and Los Angeles.

Based on a true story, Disney’s “Million Dollar Arm” follows JB Bernstein, a once-successful sports agent who now finds himself edged out by bigger, slicker competitors. He and his partner Aash (Aasif Mandvi) will have to close their business down for good if JB doesn’t come up with something fast. Late one night, while watching cricket being played in India on TV, JB comes up with an idea so radical it just might work. Why not go to there and find the next baseball pitching sensation? Setting off for Mumbai with nothing but a gifted but cantankerous scout (Alan Arkin) in tow, JB stages a televised, nationwide competition called “Million Dollar Arm” where 40,000 hopefuls compete before two 18-year-old finalists, Rinku and Dinesh (Suraj Sharma, Madhur Mittal), emerge as winners. JB brings them back to the United States to train with legendary pitching coach Tom House (Bill Paxton). The goal: get the boys signed to a major league team.

Not only is the game itself difficult to master, but life in the U.S. with a committed bachelor makes things even more complicated—for all of them. While Rinku and Dinesh learn the finer points of baseball and American culture, they in turn teach JB the true meaning of teamwork and commitment. Ultimately, what began as a purely commercial venture becomes something more and leads JB to find the one thing he was never looking for at all—a family.

The producing team of Mark Ciardi and Gordon Gray, producers of such notable sports movies as “Secretariat,” “Miracle” and “The Rookie,” joins forces with veteran producer Joe Roth (“Oz The Great and Powerful,” “Snow White and the Huntsman,” “Alice in Wonderland”) to bring Disney’s “Million Dollar Arm” to the screen.

Director Craig Gillespie gained widespread recognition with the critically acclaimed “Lars and the Real Girl,” starring Oscar®-nominated Ryan Gosling. He also directed “Fright Night,” starring Anton Yelchin, Colin Farrell, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, David Tennant, Imogen Poots, and Toni Collette. For television, Gillespie produced and directed the highly acclaimed Showtime series “United States of Tara.” His direction of the pilot episode earned Toni Collette both an Emmy® Award and a Golden Globe® Award.

Golden Globe® winner Jon Hamm is perhaps best-known for his nuanced portrayal of high-powered, philandering advertising executive Don Draper on AMC’s award-winning drama series “Mad Men.” His previous film credits include “Friends with Kids,” which he also produced; “Bridesmaids,” “The Town,” “Sucker Punch,” “Howl,” “Shrek Forever After,” as the voice of “Brogan,” “The Day the Earth Stood Still,” “Ira & Abby,” “Kissing Jessica Stein” and “We Were Soldiers.” He recently completed HBO’s “Clear History” with Larry David for director Greg Mottola and the BBC miniseries “A Young Doctor’s Notebook,” opposite Daniel Radcliffe, which he also executive produced.

Alan Arkin, one of the most respected artists of the stage and screen, won an Academy Award® for Best Supporting Actor for his performance in the 2006 hit “Little Miss Sunshine.” For his role, Arkin also won an Independent Spirit Award and a BAFTA Award, and shared in a Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Award® for Outstanding Motion Picture Cast, in addition to receiving an individual SAG Award® nomination for Outstanding Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role. Arkin most recently earned Oscar®, BAFTA and Golden Globe® Award nominations for his supporting performance in director Ben Affleck’s Oscar®-winning Best Picture “Argo,” which also won the BAFTA Award for Best Picture.

Talented, multi-faceted actor Bill Paxton has starred in many audience-pleasing hit films, including “Titanic,” “Apollo 13,” “Aliens” “Twister,” “Mighty Joe Young,” “Spy Kids, 2&3” and “Tombstone.” He was recently seen in “The Colony,” “Shanghai Calling” and “Haywire.” On television, Paxton is well known for the series “Big Love,” for which he was Golden Globe® nominated, and recently starred in the award-winning miniseries “Hatfields & McCoys” opposite Kevin Costner.

Lake Bell wrote, produced, starred in and directed her most recent film, “In A World…,” which garnered Bell the Waldo Salt Screenwriting Award at Sundance this year. Bell was also seen at this year's Sundance Film Festival in the film “Black Rock,” opening in May 2013, directed by Katie Aselton. Other film credits include, among others, “A Good Old Fashioned Orgy,” Paramount’s hit comedy “No Strings Attached,” Nancy Meyer's “It's Complicated,” “What Happens in Vegas” and “Pride and Glory.”

Suraj Sharma won acclaim for his portrayal of Pi Patel in Ang Lee’s acclaimed movie “Life of Pi.” With no previous experience, Lee cast Sharma for the role of Pi, following an extensive, months-long search throughout India. For his work in “Life of Pi,” Sharma earned a Critics’ Choice nomination for Best Young Actor, an Empire Award nomination for Best Male Newcomer and won the Sierra Youth in Film Award from the Las Vegas Film Critics as well as the MTV Movie Award for Best Scared as Sh**t Performance, among others.

Aasif Mandvi, well known as a correspondent on “The Daily Show with Jon Stewart,” is an accomplished actor who will next be seen in “The Internship,” starring Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson. Recent films include “Premium Rush,” “Ruby Sparks” and “Margin Call.”

Madhur Mittal is best known for his performance as Salim in the acclaimed film “Slumdog Millionaire,” which won the Academy Award® for Best Picture of 2008 and for which he won the Screen Actors Guild Award® for Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture.

Pitobash is a Hindi film actor known for his roles in “I Am Kalam,” “Shor in the City” and “Shanghai.” At the age of 12, Pitobash was honored with the “National Balshree Award” from the president of India in the field of creative performance. He later went on to join Bollywood as an actor.

Disney’s “Million Dollar Arm” is slated for a 2014 release.

Kraft Max Originals Handmade Giveaway


Welcome to Kraft Max Originals Giveaway!

Hosted by Elitemama 
Sponsored by Krafty Max Originals

Thanks for joining us for this fabulous handmade giveaway! I am excited to be participating with several wonderful bloggers to bring you this event!

About Krafty Max Originals:

For over 35 years, Marci (owner/designer) sat and watched her mother make items for the family on holidays. By the time Marci was 5 years old, she was already stranding beads for her own creations. Over the years, she perfected her techniques and styles.

After 4 years in the US Navy and 15 years in "Corporate America" doing everything from running her own Marketing Company to running a Sports Talk Radio Station, Marci has seen it all. After the birth of her son, Monster, her husband had decided that she would be a "stay at home mom" in order to spend more time with AYE (now 13) and Monster (now 8). Suddenly Marci felt like she had nothing to do! She had been involved in almost ever craft and form of art and it fell back in love with bead work.

Every piece crafted by Marci is handcrafted. Everything from the design of the pattern to the finish work of the clasps. Now she is one of the lucky few that gets to turn her passion into a business.

Many of the orders are customized to match the client's colors and design ideas.


Elitemama's Review:

I was given a wonderful opportunity to review an item from Krafty Max Originals. The piece I received is custom made and inspired by the movie, "The Lord of the Rings". Now, before I received the bracelet in the mail, Marci kept it a secret as to what the bracelet was going to look like. Not that that was a bad thing, lol. She wanted to get my reaction on the piece before sharing anything with the world. Normally Marci post pictures each day or so on her Facebook page of the steps and progress of the project she is working on to keep everyone up to date and also excited about how the creation is going to turn out.

Here is what the bracelet looks like:



Now that is a gorgeous work of art! This bracelet was inspired by the Elven Gilded jewelry worn by Galadriel and also by the EvenStar. Yes, I am a nerd and anything that is Lord of the Rings related is kept close and cherish forever! The bracelet that Marci created is outstanding and also looks very time consuming at the same time. I don't know how she manages to get pieces like this done with her kids running around, but she does, lol.  Honestly, If I tried anything like this with my kids running around, I would give up... lol.

As for the bracelet, it fits snug on my wrist. Not snug where it's tight, but snug where it fits just right. The clasp at first seemed a bit odd to me because of the way it attaches from one end to another. I have never seen a clasp like the one on the bracelet before and I didn't know which way the bracelet was supposed to go. I wasn't sure if the clasp was supposed to be on the top or the bottom. Once I put the bracelet on, I figured it out right away. Yeah, I know... I'm a genius, lol.

I love the color of the beads that were used. One thing that makes the beads stand out more is when I am outside. Once the suns rays beam down on the beads, the beads sparkle and become so colorful. It's almost like trapping a gazillion rainbows in these little balls and then wearing it's colorful beauty. I don't know if that makes any sense, but it's the best way I can describe it. I am in love with this bracelet created by Krafty Max Originals!

{ GIVEAWAY }


ONE (1) lucky winner will receive a Amethyst, Charoite & Swarovski Crystal PURE Elegance - $124.00! Contest is open to US and Canada, 18+ (ends June 12th, 2013 at 11:59pm PST). All entries will be verified. Winner will have 48 hours to respond to claim their prize. Good Luck!

Earth's Berries Soap Nuts Giveaway

earthberrieslogo

Welcome to the Earth's Berries Soap Nuts Giveaway

Hosted by Savory Savings 

Sponsored by Earth's Berries


Krista over at Savory Savings has been on the hunt to make sure her laundry is chemical-free.  During that search, she stumbled upon Earth's Berries Soap Nuts and wrote this review about the perks of going nutty with her laundry.  Soap nuts, are not actually  nuts at all, but a fruit that contains a natural substance called saponin that suds up and easily keeps your clothes and other laundy goods nice and clean!

Not only are these nuts easy to use, but green and economical, too!  You use five nuts for each load of laundry and each set of five nuts is good for four loads of laundry.  At around $11.00 for enough berries to do nearly 100 loads of laundry, you are paying just $0.11 for a load of laundry (and this covers you for the laundry softener, too!)  These soap nuts can also be turned into liquid laundry detergent that you can easily scent with essential oils, or into a powerful all-purpose cleaner for all your everyday messes.  




{ GIVEAWAY }

Are you ready to win some for yourself to try?

ONE (1) lucky winner will receive some Earth’s Berries Soap Nuts! Contest is open to US only, 18+ (ends June 11th, 2013 at 8pm CST). All entries will be verified. Winner will have 48 hours to respond to claim their prize. Good Luck!

New Organic Nori Powder: A Seaweed Superfood

Did you know that Raw Nori Powder is a Seawead Superfood? Read on about the Raw Nori Powder from Navitas Naturals which includes a delicious and nutritious recipe for Nori Popcorn.

Navitas Naturals Nori Powder Provides Antioxidants, Protein & Minerals - Use it in Recipes for Soups, Dips, Snacks and Smoothies

Nori is a ‘superfood from the sea’ that has been enjoyed in Japan since at least the 8th century. This seaweed is perhaps best known as a sweet and salty green sushi wrap, but now Navitas Naturals has taken the culinary enjoyment of nori to a whole new level by launching the first-ever organic Raw Nori Powder.

Navitas Naturals Raw Nori Powder is made from premium nori seaweed grown in the Sea of Japan. Offered in a 3-ounce re-sealable bag for $19.99, this new product is certified organic, Non-GMO Project Verified, kosher, vegan and raw.

WHERE TO BUY: Navitas Naturals products are available at hundreds of stores including Whole Foods Markets, Wegmans, Sprouts and HEB, and online at NavitasNaturals.com and Amazon.

To make this organic superfood powder, nori fronds are sustainably harvested in the Sea of Japan and then pressed, dried and milled to a fine powder. All of the processing is done at low temperatures to maintain nutritional integrity, flavor and its status as a raw food. Navitas Naturals nori is hand-selected for top-grade quality and flavor, and it’s carefully inspected and rinsed.

Like most seaweed, nori is a low-calorie food with an abundance of bioavailable nutrients. By weight, nori contains more than 40 percent protein – the highest of any seaweed. Nori is also a rich source of important minerals, vitamins, antioxidants and lignans. In particular, it provides A and B vitamins, iodine, carotene, calcium, iron and zinc. The bioavailability and digestibility of nori’s many nutrients are enhanced by its naturally high fiber content.

Raw Nori Powder’s salty-sweet and complex flavor is a fine example of Umami, which is known in Japan as the “5th taste,” and is defined as savory and mouth-watering. This delicious, easy-to-use powder adds a seaweed flavor and nutrition boost to soups, salads, green smoothies and many other recipes such as this Nori Popcorn:

Nori Popcorn
2 tsp Navitas Naturals Nori Powder
1 tsp Navitas Naturals Coconut Sugar
1 Tbsp Coconut Oil
¼ cup organic Popcorn Kernels
¼ tsp Sea Salt

Makes 4 servings. In a small bowl, mix together the nori powder and coconut sugar; set aside. In a deep-dish pan or stockpot, heat the coconut oil over medium high heat until melted. Add the popcorn kernels and sea salt and cover. Cook for a couple minutes to allow the popcorn to pop. Remove from heat after the kernels are only popping 10 seconds apart. Uncover, sprinkle with the nori mixture, and mix well with a large spoon directly in the hot pan to distribute over the popcorn well. Transfer to a bowl to serve.

 Welcome to the Apple iPad Mini Giveaway!


Thanks for joining us and welcome to another iPad Mini giveaway! I am excited to be teamed up with the wonderful bloggers to bring you this giveaway! If you missed my previous contest, here's your chance to enter and win one for yourself. 

The iPad Mini is the newest addition to Apple’s iPad family with all of the features of the iPad but at a smaller and more convenient size. With a 7.9-inch display, fast and fluid performance, FaceTime and iSight cameras, thousands of available apps, and a 10-hour battery life, the iPad Mini has quickly become one of the most popular tablets on the market.

The smaller version of Apple’s tablet is great for students, commuters, travelers, busy parents and anyone who is constantly on the go. With its lightweight design, the iPad Mini can easily be slipped into any laptop bag, backpack, or purse, so you’re connected wherever you are.
