Holtsville Ecology Center & Rescue Zoo

I live on Long Island, This post is about the horrific proposal the Town of Brookhaven is ready to pass with little regard to the people in the community or the animals at this park. The closing of this park is a travesty, The animals that are in this park are mostly disabled and would most likely euthanized some sources say. I myself believe this. There is a fitness track, a greenhouse, playground and recycle center in this one-time garbage dump. The animals have been there and loved for  very long time. My son has gone there since he was a little boy, My husband went there when it was built. He remembers it as a dump, an eye sore to the community. If the park is closed what is to become of it? No one  is saying. Will it be left to return to a nuisance of overgrown weeds & a plight on the community? Or will it be sold to a developer for MORE houses or condos no one can afford. This is ridiculous! Instead of closing this park how about issuing town stickers to residents and charging non-residents  fee. The people in this community and the animals should not pay the price for lousy money managing of the town government. Instead of town cars and paid weekends away maybe some officials should step up and listen to the already fed up masses. We already pay high taxes in this state so give the people this one "luxury" a community park.

The facility houses a Animal Wildlife Center, containing over 100 injured or non-releasable wild and farm animals, Greenhouses, Picnic Area with Playground, Paved Exercise Trail & Town Pool. I urge anyone concerned with this proposed closure to contact your elected Brookhaven officials (http://www....

UNREAL Candy Campaign -BzzAgent

I was lucky enough to get to test some wonderful new candy today! It was UNREAL Candy and it is Unjunked! http://getunreal.com/ I recently joined BzzAgent. It is a wonderful company that values your opinion!www.bzzagent.com BzzAgent sent me Free candy and Buy One Get One Free coupons for me to give out to my friends & family. All I had to do was taste the candy and give my opinion on it. It was that simple!

It is made with real sugar not HFC (High Fruitcose Corn Syrup) and it has no Hydrogenated oils, & No Artificial's! It was very tasty! I found the chocolate to taste very clean CHOCOLATY! All the candy was wonderful tasting but my favorite was the candy coated chocolates- they were so good!

I liked the muted colors from the vegetables they used instead of chemicals, They use beet juice, cabbage juice, tumeric to name a few. It was very pure tasting. The sugar makes such a difference in the taste of the candy. When I was younger candy was made with sugar not corn syrup and it tasted so good. This was a pleasant tasting creamy chocolate that has half the calories of candy that is "JUNKED"

All they candy was delicious! If you get a chance to pick some up DO IT! You will not want to eat other candy again!

Times Square Visitors Center

Yesterday my son & I went into the city (NYC) to go to an event for New York Comic-con at and spend some more cash when I stumbled upon the hidden jewel known as t MidTown Comics. It was very cool we wound up winning passes for NYCC which was AWESOME! We were going into Manhattan that evening to see Ghost on Broadway so decided to go earlier and try to score some passes. The event was at noon and ended at 1 PM, Ghost did not start until 7 PM. We had 6 hrs to kill with a small budget to do it on.  I don't know if you have ever been to Times Square but it is two things you need to know.... 1. Extremely crowded  2. EXPENSIVE! not to mention...NO BATHROOMS. It is very hard to find a bathroom in Times Square. We first went to Starbucks and could use the facility w/ a purchase. So we bought a cold brew tea (ewww) I don't recommend the passion fruit tea w/ lemonade. It was weak tasting and not very cold for $3.50 plus tax.  So after the drink had kicked in and needed to use the facilities again we were going to go to McDonald's and spend some more cash when I stumbled upon the hidden jewel know as The Times Square Visitors Center.  I had been to Times Square many many times and had never noticed this before.
     Upon entering you experience the glitzy neon lights that spell out welcome, as you walk down toward the exhibit center you pass beautiful costumes from shows like Evita, Phantom, Joseph & the Technicolor Dreamcoat etc. Then the bathrooms which are very clean! The main room it filled with wonderful FREE things to do as well as a gift shop (fair prices for Times Square) You can take pictures (with your camera) of you with a replica of the New Years Eve ball that is all lit up in multi-color fashion. There is even a very sweet public safety officer who will be more than happy to take the photo for you. There is a starbucks cart for coffee. a broadway show ticket agent there, and the best thing I thought was the newsreel. Every ten minutes they show the history of Times Square from 1904 til present. It was a very unexpected delight  to be treated so nicely by all the employees and a much needed reprieve from the heat and noise of Times Square. It was rejuvenating to sit in the air conditioning and cool down while learning some interesting things about Times Square.
      So......If you find yourself in Times Square and need a break for no cost go and check out The Times Square Visitor Center Entrance is located at 7th Ave between 46th & 47th Streets
They are open 7 days a week from 8am-8pm.

SoBe Coconut Water

     I Love SoBe life water so I tried their new flavor Coconut Water.  It is excellent for hydration. I used it when the humidity was sky high and temps. around 100 in NYC. It refreshed and replaced just like they say. After walking 45 city blocks in a heat wave I reached for a water but saw this instead.
     After drinking it I felt energized enough to walk the 45 blocks back to the train station! I think Pacific Coconut is my new favorite flavor of Sobe Life water! I hope you try it too!

Lysol Power & Free Multi-Purpose Cleaner

     I don't know about you but I have always cleaned with bleach. My mother cleaned with it so I do. To me it makes me feel like everything is really clean. I recently found out about the health risks there are with using too much bleach. So when I saw Lysol (which I love & also always use) came out with a multi-purpose cleaner with the power of bleach but using hydrogen peroxide I was soooo happy! I couldn't wait to try it!
     I was delighted to find it had a pleasant smell  (Citrus Sparkle Zest) PLUS it cut through tough bathroom & kitchen stains like hard water & greasy stove. Anytime a cleaner cleans & doesn't give me a headache is a good thing.
 I would definitely buy this product over my usual multi-purpose cleaner w/bleach. I recommend giving it a try.
