Ready to try the new generation of hair clips?  If you love your trusty claw clips, but think they could use a little update, say hello to the Linziclip by scünci!

The Linziclip is as simple to use as your go-to claw clips, but with a cleaner, more polished look!  Like a claw clip, springs and “teeth” are used to grip the hair tightly, but they are hidden within a sleek cylinder exterior that comes in a variety of sizes, colors, designs and finishes.  Its unique flat bottom design allows for a firm, yet comfortable hold (feel free to lay your head back), while the hinges are placed discreetly on the sides of the clip- no more “butterfly” wings on top of the clip!

Green Mountain Coffees introduce NEW Barista Prima Coffeehouse K-Cup portion packs.

I like a really good cup of coffee, and so when I was asked to review these new K-cups, I was excited to try these ‘gourmet-at-home’ blends.  To me the best way to really get the flavor of a cup of coffee is in the evenings when we’re ready to relax as a family and watch some TV or a movie.  First thing in the morning, I need a coffee hit, but will admit that I sometimes use a ‘cheaper’ coffee for that as I’m not fully awake to enjoy it.  So I tried the full variety of the Barista Prima Coffeehouse K-Cups in the evenings when I could savor the taste of them.

THE STORY TEMPLATE is a programmed learner that allows the writer to develop her story from chaos. The book uses a series of exercises for the writer to construct her story’s four foundational pillars; learn how to use the “secret weapon” of story structure: the story template; build character depth and believable change; and construct subplots. THE STORY TEMPLATE then reviews writing techniques, and finishes with discussions of editing, writing the synopsis and query letter, submitting one’s work to agents, and types of publishing that the writer may wish to pursue.
