Fusion Belts

November 10, 2016November 9, 2016

I always have a slight dilemma when I go running. Like where do I keep my phone, keys, and a few dollars. Where do I put them? My jogging pants never have pockets and if they do the pockets are never big enough to hold everything I would like to carry. Always a slight dilemma. Until I found Fusion Belts.

Fusion Belt wraps around your waist, has two zipper pockets. Front pocket is great for my phone and back pocket can hold a few dollars as well as my keys. A stylish yet practical way to carry your goods while running around the track or at the gym.

It’s about being hand free!

Fusion Belts are made in the US from high quality micropoly and spandex.

Fabric is moisture wicking and antimicrobail.

Now I don’t have a dilemma. Fusion Belt is great for working out, running errands, traveling, a night on the town, to going to any sporting or concert event where you can no longer bring a purse or backpack!

Fusion Belts are for men and women.

Fusion Belts area fusing fashion & function for a hands free life!

General Jackson Showboat Cruise

November 9, 2016November 9, 2016

If you are ever visiting Nashville, Tennessee you should take the time to take the General Jackson’s Dinner Cruise.

The General Jackson Dinner Cruise is about 2.50 hours. This 300-foot-long paddle wheel riverboat, a honest to goodness riverboat, is the largest showboat in the world. It cruises past natural and historical sights along the banks of Nashville’s beautiful Cumberland River.

The cruise prices includes meal and beverage (excluding alcohol beverage), and showboat show.

The GJ has four massive decks which offer excellent opportunities to see the beautiful sights of Nashville and the stunning countryside of central Tennessee. As the General Jackson sailed along the Cumberland River we watched the show, ate the food, drank the drinks, and got to see the city (Nashville) through the eyes of the night.
