Explore the Magic of Steel through Steelies

Remember when you played marbles as a little kid? The best one to have was a huge masher. That was the one that knocked all of the other marbles around, but the second best marble was a steely. These were the ones that were made out of metal. They were shiny even after being flicked into the dirt and smashed by the masher. It was never really clear what other properties there were that made the steely better than any of the glass marbles. It just seemed like they were futuristic, and in the logic of childhood, metal was heavier than glass, so they were probably harder to move than the other marbles. Now that you are older, you do not have to live with just little balls of steel, you can get a Miami steel distributor to deliver all sorts of great steel constructions.
Artists
Someone who might need access to steel is an artist who specializes in outdoor art installations. Steel stands up well to weather issues and even brings some life to the sculpture as its patina changes with the light, the time of year, and finally with age. As anyone who has taken a metal shop class, working with metal is very primal. Even with the safety gear, there is heat, fire, and sparks that speak of times past, even if they never really occurred that way for our ancestors. Wouldn't it be cool to see an installation of giant marbles in glass and steel?

Nostalgia and Family Memories
Now, that you are older, you may see the ridiculousness in child logic, but pick up a steely and compare it to some glass marbles and see if you do not conjure of the same magic that these toys had when you were young. A Miami steel distributor might not actually deliver steelies to you unless you request them in bulk, but wouldn't it be cool to teach your kids an old school game? Memories are made from the time spent together doing things not from the time spent in front of a monitor of any type.

The Pickle Juice Company Review

How many of you are super athletic and active during the summer months? I used to be...prior to having children and now, it seems I chase them all around so that counts as something, right? One concern that many athletes and active people have during the summer is hydration and the risk of dehydration, especially if you live in a hot/tropical climate. We life in NY state so we have four full seasons, our summers can be hot and humid and if you are active, that can be challenging. The other issue that many run into is having a sports drink that can replenish and refresh their system that is gluten free and healthy for them too. Food allergies can limit the choices when it comes to hydration drinks. So, today I am going to introduce you to The Pickle Juice Company . This company specializes in gluten-free sports drinks that will stop muscle cramps in their tracks and keep you hydrated and refreshed no matter what activities you are participating in this summer! Before I continue wi...

Carmex Healing Lotion & Healing Cream Review

Because I am a member of the Carmex Blog Squad , I am informed of and privileged to bring you reviews of Carmex's newest products! This is something that I have been doing for awhile and have really grown to love the Carmex brand. The newest products that have been introduced by Carmex are lovely and will definitely impress you as they have me. Because I am a mom, I wash my hands frequently. After diaper changes, before cleaning wounds, bathroom breaks, preparing food...all this requires clean hands. Because I usually apply lotion while I am moving and going from one thing to the next, I do not like a greasy lotion. I HATE applying a cream and having to "dry" my hands for the next half hour. What a perfectly good waste of time that is. So, I was wondering what Carmex would offer me in way of fast and quickly absorbing lotion. Before I continue, here is a bit more about Carmex for those of you who are new to their brand... Carmex® lip balm was invented in 1...

Cafe Press Review

Are any of you married to a computer guy ? Do you lovingly call him a "geek" sometimes? (my hand is raised here...LOL!) My husband is the most wonderful man in the world. He is funny, sincere, loving and VERY handy with the computer. I have issues sometimes with coding and am often heard calling "Honey? Can you come look at my blog? I don't know how to fix this!!!!" And, my charming prince comes to rescue me. My darling is going to be 31 in a week and I am SO excited to be able to celebrate another birthday with him. He also shares a birthday with our daughter which makes the day twice as fun. :) She has been talking about her birthday for WEEKS and cannot wait! This next review item is for him so if you know him (and I am hoping he doesn't read my blog for the next week :/) don't tell him about this!!!!!!!! If you are looking for perfect, unique and personalized gifts for someone special in your life I will tell you that after this post, you...
