L'Bri's Luxurious Skin Care Giveaway

The holidays, are a glorious, yet hectic time of year…events to plan, wish lists to go over and photos to share. How do you keep up with all there is to do? The Samsung Galaxy Tab S has been a very useful tool for the past week! From family gift lists to countless holiday party lists, Samsung Galaxy Tab S has been very useful to help ease the holiday planning madness with several Tab S tools intended to not only make the season of lists a bit easier—but also a lot more fun.
Start early, I’m not talking in June, but October/early November is a good time to start making lists and gathering recipes you want to try out.
Make Lists! Making a checklist for each thing that you need to do will help make it as seemless as possible when it comes time to do it. The S Note app is perfect for this!
Have fun, if it’s all work and no play you will burn out faster than those lights that you JUST put up.
Involve the kids, I know that sounds like more stress, but involving the kids gives their busy hands something to do, and helps them feel like a part of everything. It will also show the older kids just how much goes into the holidays.
Get a Samsung Galaxy Tab S, this tablet has many many features that will make your holiday planning run a bit more smoothly!
A few great features on the Samsung Galaxy Tab S:
1. S Note is a quick and convenient way to take notes on the go. You can even sync them so they’re available on all your devices. S Note comes complete with lots of different templates including checklists, schedules, recipes, and more. Make a packing checklist for your travels, a shopping checklists for food and gifts, store your go-to holiday recipes and have them all in one place!
2. Scrapbook allows you to save screenshots, Web pages and even YouTube videos in categorized folders with tags and notes for each item you’ve clipped—perfect for a child’s wish list, or even a visual to-do list leading up to your annual holiday soiree. So helpful when your out shopping and you can remember the name but there just so happens to be several items to choose from. It’s great to have a visual aide!
3. The Tab S Camera will help you capture all your holiday memories with its 2.1 megapixel front-facing camera and 8 megapixel rear camera. With modes including Beauty Face, Panoramic, HDR and Dual Camera, you can apply filters, adjust display features, add stickers, frames and more to customize the perfect holiday photo album.
4. Kids Mode lets you customize playtime and apps with parental controls. You can select what apps your child is allowed to play, and those are the only things they can access! Great for keeping them busy while you try to get some of your to-do list done! They can even take their own videos and pictures!
All this and it’s lighter than 1lb…An ultra-thin build with a comfortable design makes this tablet difficult to put down. Lightweight and perfect for travel, it connects seamlessly with other Galaxy products for you to effortlessly share photos and videos from wherever you are. Easy to stick in your bag and go about your day checking your lists (twice) and capturing precious memories that will automatically sync with your google account (if you set it up).
I must say this has been so helpful this season. It has even replaced my other tablet that is much heavier and doesn’t have all the helpful apps. If your looking for something to help you out this season, and the rest of the year, this is the tablet you need to get!

The Walt Disney Studios and Disney Citizenship, in collaboration with XPRIZE, announced the winners of the DISNEY CREATE TOMORROWLAND & XPRIZE CHALLENGE. Kids between the ages of 8 and 17 were asked to imagine themselves in the future and report back about one new technology that is positively affecting humanity.
A panel of XPRIZE judges reviewed submissions and selected six winners, three from the Junior Division (8-12 years old) and three from the Senior Division (13-17 years old). Challenge submissions were scored based on originality, creativity and presentation. The winners and their ideas are as follows:
Gabrielle Nafie, age 9, of New York, New York, envisioned a robotic origami bee called a bee origamibot. These tiny robots are activated by sunlight, function like real bees by pollinating plants vital to our survival and offset the global decline of the actual insect.
Maxwell Fung, age 11, of North Syracuse, New York, imagined a world with no pain thanks to the invention of the pain-blocking nanobot. These teeny metal bots are administered orally prior to surgery to inhibit nerve endings from transferring chemicals that induce pain. The nanobots are removed through the kidneys, result in little to no side effects and are non-addictive.
Jason Jackrel, age 12, of North Bellmore, New York, invented the hydrogen-powered scooter, the preferred transportation of the future. By utilizing hydrogen, which emits water, instead of fossil fuels, the hydrogen-powered scooter eliminates C02 emissions.
Clarissa Katko, age 15, of Dansville, Michigan, developed a cure for cancer through genetic therapy. By harnessing the genetic makeup of mole rats, whose genes have a high resistance to runway cell growth, humanity will be able to eradicate cancer and extend life expectancy.
Adrianne Camero, age 15, of Miami, Florida, devised the Magnēs Lithos Chair, a more efficient and adaptable alternative to the wheelchair. The Magnēs Lithos Chair utilizes the Earth’s electromagnetic field to levitate and is maneuvered by the user’s mind.
Natalie Cummings, age 16, of Canonsburg, Pennsylvania, tapped into the science of Mother Nature to create artificial trees with leaves that cleanse the air of C02 atexponential rates while also capturing solar energy to power neighboring homes.
“We are thrilled to be able to recognize the talents and imagination of these extraordinary young people,” said Sean Bailey, President, Walt Disney Studios Motion Picture Production. “The submissions showed an incredible and imaginative vision of the future, and through them, they have brought to life the same spirit and optimism that inspired us to make the film ‘Tomorrowland.’”
“The inventiveness and dexterity showcased in the submissions we received solidify that innovation can originate from anyone if given the opportunity,” said Trish Halamandaris, senior vice president marketing & communications at XPRIZE. “The Create Tomorrowland XPRIZE Challenge tasked young innovators to imagine the future and the outcome was a bright, healthy and creative tomorrow.”
Beginning in June, the six winners will have a once–in-a-lifetime mentorship experience with a leader in their area of interest. In addition, each winner will receive a $3,000 check, a 3D Printer from 3D Systems, an annual subscription to Tales2Go® and registration for FIRST® LEGO® League for the competition season 2015-2016 in the U.S.
Supporting XPRIZE Partners include FIRST® (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology), 3D Systems, IMAX Corporation, Tales2Go® and the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
