Waterpik Complete Care 5.0 System and Waterpik Cordless Freedom Water Flosser #Waterpik

waterpik

I am so excited to announce these two new items!! Waterpik is on a mission to get more people aware of the importance of good oral healthcare and how it is directly related to other health issues. That is where and why  Waterpik Complete Care 5.0 and the Waterpik Freedom Water Flosser come in.

It was enlightening  to  learn about the new product introductions and then use them at home. Because we all know that brushing alone is not enough and flossing is important if you are looking for the best results. Brushing and flossing in one device. Got to love the  Complete Care 5.0

Waterpik products will insure that you  see a major improvement in your overall oral health care.  This is one area of the body that many people neglect even though this is where countless health problems start. No more excuses!!

I love the Waterpik Cordless Freedom Water Flosser and after a few accidents, finally understood that I had to look into the sink and not into the mirror when using it!!!  Perfect for travel and in the shower. This comes in Brilliant Black or Pearly White.

Positive Thoughts, Positive Life! by T.E.Corner #bookworm

32

No matter what age, you can never be too over educated about having a positive attitude.

My grandchildren and I simply love reading  about the adventures of Kylie in a “Positive Thoughts,  Positive Life!” Even though it is in the form of a children’s book,  adults of all ages  can also learn from the message. Here is Natalie reading to her 86 year old great grandmother!!!

32b

We  always have opportunities to re-learn positive habits and practices, which are ultimately pathways to a life of fulfillment and success,” Corner said. This book is a wonderful tool to encourage children to embrace and overcome the tests that life brings and learn from all the experiences. What a  great way to open  opportunities to talk about what is going on, what is bothering someone you love and finding paths to turn it around.

Keens #Steakhouse

Located on West 36th Street in New York City, Keens Steakhouse offers a meal with the old style flare of the 1800’s.

 Keens Steakhouse established in 1885 and owns the largest collections of churchwarden pipes in the world.

We wanted to go to Keens for a while but was not able to set a day.  We finally set the date and off we went to enjoy a good steak.  Dinner at Keens was special because it’s not a place we could eat at often.  So this was a real special treat and we went with special friends.

Our first stop was to have a drink in Keens bar.   1a5de62938e9f412130f6a7067003723

As soon as we saw the painting that hung over the bar we knew that Keens was not an ordinary bar.  we had stepped right into the 1800’sIMG_4046

142224__nightmare_lWe ordered more drinks as soon as we got seated.  The martini’s Bobbi-Ann and I ordered were made to perfection.  Look at the tiles on the floor, so OLD!19-362471 (1)

When you look up at the ceiling it is covered with wooden pipes.  Back then pipes were smokin’.2006ABMississippiLoveseat

When we ordered our dinner I thought that we were all going to get to enjoy a perfectly cooked steak.  However, Carmine surprised us and ordered the Mutton…what!  Why would he order mutton?  Well it turns out Keens Steakhouse is known for its sumptuous mutton.  Go figure, it’s not just a steakhouse.

213076_2Bill was predictable, he ordered a prime rib…Even in the picture it looks delicious.  20150909_171137 (1)Bobbi-Ann and I shared a Prime T-Bone….Thank goodness we took the waiters advice, we could never had eaten this size steak all alone.   We all had a very lovely dinner at Keens Steakhouse, the atmosphere was just perfect, the service was impeccable, and the food, well, the food was perfect and worth every penny we spent.

Yes, Keens was a special evening out…but the end of the evening proved to be just as interesting.

See one of us did not walk out empty handed.   Yes, Carmine bought one of Keens wooden pipes.  Why Keens pipes are so long is something of a puzzle but Carmine did not let the length of the pipe stop him from enjoying a Keens Steakhouse pipe…Now whose smokin’…Pass the pipe will you please.
