Father’s Day is just around the corner and frankly, I couldn’t of married a better man to be the father of our daughter. My husband has been there from the very beginning (pregnancy) and through the marriage of our 30 year old daughter. He’s a great husband, father and grandfather!

He loves electronics and always wants the latest, greatest and best electronics that are out in the retail marketplace, so when I saw the item I am featuring here today, I knew it would be at the top of his gift list this year!

Samsung Mobile Gear VR

Let me introduce you to the new Samsung Gear VR. It was developed in partnership with Oculus, Gear VR is completely portable, comfortable to wear and super easy to set up. Now you or your honey bun can escape into a virtual world and it’s as easy as snapping your Galaxy smartphone into your Samsung Gear VR. How cool is that? Totally cool.

It’s your personal cinema at-home or while on-the-go. With the Oculus Video app, you can customize movie trailers, movie & video clips and even your own movie files. You can watch what you want, when you want to watch it and how you prefer to watch it! The choices are endless!

You can customize your own virtual environment by choosing from a home theater, big-screen movie experience, etc. Plus, you can buy hundreds of full-length Hollywood movies and TV shows to watch when you want to watch them!

Is Dad into live streaming his favorite sport’s games, live music concerts and short films, etc? If so, he can now enjoy them in a virtual theater setting with full access to more than 1 million Vimeo videos & Twitch, a leading video platform & community for gamers. Dad can always find something new to experience with this system!

Dad can now create an instant movie or game night at-home or while on-the-go for the ultimate watching and viewing experience. This is one gift that Dad will really want this year for Father’s Day, plus moms, you can benefit too! We all want to spend more time with our men and creating that “perfect” movie night at-home would be awesome with the new Samsung Gear VR.

Now that I’ve told you a little bit about the new Samsung Gear VR, I bet you want to know where you can buy it, right? Well guess what? Best Buy has it and they have an awesome deal for you!

Love the Gums You’re With

Studies show smiles can make us more attractive, lower our stress levels, elevate our moods, and make us look younger. Therefore, it’s important to be well and keep our teeth and gums smile-ready. Unfortunately, many of us don’t. Nearly 50 percent of U.S. adults age 

Vinyl: The Complete First Season on DVD

Vinyl: The Complete First Season on DVD

Vinyl Complete First Season on DVDVinyl, created by Golden Globe winner and Emmy® nominee Mick Jagger (Mr. Dynamite: The Rise of James Brown), Academy Award® winner and Emmy® winner Martin Scorsese (The Departed, Boardwalk Empire) and acclaimed author Rich Cohen and Academy Award® nominee and multiple Emmy® winner Terence Winter (Boardwalk Empire), is set to make its Home Entertainment debut on Digital HD on May 23, 2016 and on Blu-ray with Digital HD and DVD with Digital HD June 7, 2016. Regarded as “the first new must-see series of 2016” (New York Magazine) and “crazy brilliant” (San Francisco Chronicle), the hit new drama series explores the drug- and sex-fueled music business of the 1970s New York at the dawn of punk, disco and hip-hop.

Vinyl: The Complete First Season includes ‘Making Vinyl: Recreating the 70s’ featurette and Inside the Episode briefs. Exclusive to DVD and Blu-ray are audio commentaries by Terence Winter, Bobby Cannavale, Olivia Wilde, and where available, the Digital HD will include ‘Behind the Groove’ pieces.

Richie Finestra (Bobby Cannavale, two-time Emmy® winner, Boardwalk Empire), the founder and president of American Century Records, is trying to save his company and soul without destroying everyone in his path. With his passion for music and discovering talent gone by the wayside, and American Century on the precipice of being sold, he has a life-altering event that reignites his love of music, but severely damages his personal life. The drama features an amazing all-star cast including SAG Award nominee Olivia Wilde (Doll and Em), and multiple Emmy® winner Ray Romano (Everybody Loves Raymond). Scorsese, Jagger and Winter executive produce along with Victoria Pearman, Rick Yorn, Emma Tillinger Koskoff, John Melfi, Allen Coulter and George Mastras. Executive music producer, Mick Jagger. Winter serves as showrunner.

Our Thoughts: My husband and I love drama TV series and personally, it’s one of my favorite genres to watch. Neither one of us have watched the HBO series Vinyl until this review. We received the complete first series on DVD and over the past 2 weeks we’ve been watching it. It’s the type of series that once you watch a few episodes, you really get hooked and can’t wait for a new episode to air.

The story lines woven within this TV series are gripping, heart felt and electric. They keep you coming back for more and you’re always guessing what is is going to happen next. The acting by the actors & actresses in this series is top notch! They really draw you into the story line for sure!

Since watching the first season, we’ve now become big fans of Vinyl and absolutely LOVE this drama series! If you’ve never watched it before, I highly recommend you watch a few episodes (at least) to see what it’s all about and why people are raving about it!
