Finding a Screen Capture Tool (For Free) Back Story:  I recently acquired a new-to-me laptop, so now it's time to install programs and tools that I use frequently; one of them being a screen capture tool.  Previously I used Screen Hunter 7 , which worked perfectly for YEARS, it had all the bells and whistles that I needed; it was simple to use and saved to my computer flawlessly. BUT, recently it started spamming me with pop-up registration / pay for service screens after nearly every capture. It got to the point where, as much as I love the program for it's simplicity, I no longer want to use it due to the annoyance of the popup window. So... that brings me to the point of this article: Finding a program that works flawlessly, does exactly what I want, doesn't annoy me with ads/pop-ups, is free and requires no additional registration to use.

I received a sample of Pantene's Sheer Volume Weightless Shampoo and Conditioner some time ago but never got around to trying it. As luck would have it I ran out of my normal shampoo and had no choice but to give it a try! I've used Pantene before (usually the Sleek and Smooth 2 in1) and have always liked the fact that their shampoo always made my hair feel light, shiny and smooth - even after the first wash. However for some reason this new clear weightless shampoo made my hair feel heavy and dirty like I took a whole bottle of hairspray and applied it right in the shower. As far as their products go, I'm not impressed with this one - I'll stick to my Sleek and Smooth!

Getting Ready for #GameNight with Monopoly Jr Last night we received our Hasbro VoxBox courtesy of Influenster containing Monopoly Junior for testing*! Our family was so excited to try it out that we had our #GameNight right away. When you have two kids jumping off the walls with excitement to play a game that you've never played before and have never opened the box to... the number 1 most important aspect is: how fast can you set up the game and learn to play before the kids loose interest (or drive you crazy). Am I right? Luckily, we managed to get rolling in about 2-5 minutes. The longest part was counting out the currency for each player (the paper money was stuck together making it hard to separate) and popping out the cardboard "house" pieces. The next time we play (which will probably be tonight!) it should be easier since the money has been played with and the gaming piece are all separated. Learning how to play the game may take longer if you've never...
