Cabrini in theaters March 8th - Movie Review

I had the pleasure of watching Cabrini as a pre-screen and I am proud to share this film with you! This story is based on the REAL Francesca Cabrini who was canonized by Pope Paul XII in 1946, becoming the first American citizen  to be named saint. Cabrini became the Saint of Immigrants. This film will keep you captivated for the entire, almost 2 hours and 20 minutes. 

With a dose of woman power, determination and heart with such intensity Cabrini’s story focuses on helping the poor and, in particular, Italian immigrants that eventually morphs into supporting all immigrants from all over the world. Then, suddenly, it is about any poor and underprivileged human being finding needs for their health, shelter and education. Over the course of 34 years she established an astonishing 67 hospitals, orphanages, and schools. Her energy was fueled by an intense focus on serving Jesus in whatever he asked of her and her legacy still stands today.

Full synopsis of Cabrini:

From Alejandro Monteverde, award-winning director of , comes the powerful epic of Francesca Cabrini, an Italian immigrant who arrives in New York City in 1889 and is greeted by disease, crime, and impoverished children. Cabrini sets off on a daring mission to convince the hostile mayor to secure housing and healthcare for society’s most vulnerable. With broken English and poor health, Cabrini uses her entrepreneurial mind to build an empire of hope unlike anything the world had ever seen.

Watch County Rescue on Great American Pure Flix starting Feb 23

I had to opportunity to watch Series 1 ahead of release of County Rescue and am so happy to be able to share this family-friendly new series with you. The season is the story of some EMT’s competing for the sole open position in a fire house. They really don’t like being rivals to each other, especially in a house where they want to feel like they are part of a family. All of the emotions of jealousy, resentment, hope and hard work come out from these characters. They all have reasons for needing this job.

When things seem to feel impossible, it is easy to give up or to even ignore your calling. The lesson here is to never give up or lose hope. If something is meant to happen, it will and in its own way and time. Also, if you know someone who works in a fire house, you know the strong connections they form and you feel that with the entire cast.

Watch County Rescue on Great American Pure Flix starting 2/23 and Great American Family starting 2/26!

Anyone from a daughter, emergency worker, son, couple and friend will relate to each episode. This is very family-friendly and available on Great American Pure Flix starting 2/23 and Great American Family starting 2/26!

Boost your skin’s hydration with these Aloderma products

Erin Sluka

This winter weather has dried my skin out so much. It seems especially bad this year. I have a drawer in my bathroom full of lotions and moisturizers that claim to cure dry skin. Most do OK and only temporarily. I was introduced to Aloderma and using pure aloe to moisturize. This makes sense! Using aloe from a brand that grows it on site and bottles it within hours of harvest must be great for dry skin and it is working great! I even use the Aloe Brightening Moisturizer on my hands some days because it works so great.

I use the Brightening Moisturizer on my face after showering. It puts all of the moisture I need back and I can use my regular makeup products and know my skin has pure aloe protection. The Pure Aloe Vera Gel is amazing to have on hand for burns and skin irritations. This gel is 99% aloe – and I am talking FRESH aloe. There is nothing more soothing to the skin than this.

Buying Aloderma products is as easy as logging into Amazon and shopping as they have a storefront with these and other aloe products for your skin. This is the season to hydrate well and again as we stay under the summer sun. Stock up now and your skin will thank you!

Fit & Fresh Deluxe Insulated Soft Cooler Bag for Game Days

Erin Sluka

As we approach spring, we also approach outdoor sports season, picnics, camping and outdoor concerts. If you are like me, I am packing meals to go often for such events. I love small coolers, so deciding on the right cooler that holds all I need, keeps foods cold and is easy to clean can be hard. I think the hardest feature to find in most coolers is extra pockets and that I can easily clean it. I found this soft cooler from Fit + Fresh. This is a soft cooler that holds up to 24 cans! That is only 2 of many great features!

The best way to describe this cooler and all it can do for you is to simply make you a long list:

  • It is soft and has a comfortable shoulder strap
  • The colors and design is gives it a modern and classy look
  • It has extra storage with front and side pockets and a top bungee
  • Easy access port from the top to keep coolness inside
  • The inner liner is removable- aka a very cleanable insert!
  • The insert is a hard liner so no leaking
  • 3-layers of insulation to keep foods cold
  • It holds a lot – up to 24 soda cans
  • Made with a stain-resistant fabric
  • Made in the US (Rhode Island) and available on Amazon

The Fit + Fresh coolers are perfect for the beach, campsite, tailgate, sports event, road trip, and beyond! Even packed full, it is comfortable to carry and gets a lot of compliments on the style. I am in love with the removable hard liner because I can easily clean it.

You can find many coolers and accessories in the online store on Amazon. Get yourself ready for the outdoors this spring and summer and shop Fit + Fresh bags.
