CMY Cubes

Just a little cube…but fascinating, intriguing, I’d almost say mesmerizing!  I have one sitting on my desk and find my eyes drawn to it throughout the day. LOL, I have to pick it up and turn it over and over.  Great stress reliever.

CMY Cubes

Info from CMY Cubes

“Explore subtractive colour mixing with the CMY cube. Opposing sides are coloured cyan, magenta or yellow. Rotating the angle from which the cube is viewed, varies the degree to which specific frequencies of cyan, magenta, and yellow are filtered from white light, resulting in a unique, cube-specific spectrum of colours. This process is called “subtractive colour mixing”.

The internal geometry of the solid shape has an intermediate level of reflectance over the visible light spectrum. This means that when white light reaches a face of the cube, a portion of that light passes through the face, while the remaining light is either reflected or absorbed. Light reflecting off of the outside faces of the cube is what gives us the cyan, magenta, and yellow colours of the spectrum while the material coating each face absorbs the other frequencies. The light that passes through the material retains only the band of frequencies not otherwise absorbed.

When this passed-through light makes contact with a different face pair, the process repeats, this time the material absorbs a different band of frequencies. The light that remains is a unique colour, specific to the conditions that created it. Starting with pure white light, the CMY cube can create dozens of unique colours.”

Old Trapper

Oh my goodness, their stuff is so good.  Beef jerky at it’s finest!  The Beef Sticks are great to have on hand for snacks at home and on-the-go.  And, at this time of year here in Florida, packages of Old Trapper jerky, and beef sticks are perfect to have on hand if the power goes out during a tropical storm or hurricane!

Old Trapper

Info from Old Trapper

“Don’t let bad beef sticks ruin your enjoyment of a fun snack. Old Trapper uses only the finest ingredients to season and smoke our Deli Style Beef, and with 26 per box, you’ll have enough to keep the entire family outfitted.

Our famous Old Fashioned beef jerky was born 50 years ago in the back of a small roadside grocery store on the outskirts of Tillamook, Oregon. After years of hard work and sacrifice, Old Trapper had grown to become a favorite among local jerky lovers and connoisseurs nationwide, but the best was still yet to come.

Today, we’re the country’s second-largest beef jerky manufacturer, our new facility is fully operational, and we’re ready to take the next big step in a company story that began in a humble grocery store way back in 1969.

Old Trapper Beef Jerky has been making the best smoked meat snacks for 50 years. We’re in Oregon, but you can find us anywhere!
Beef Jerky is our work and we do it well, using only the best lean strips of beef, freshest seasoning ingredients, and real wood-fired smoke.”

Sandra Aris Designs

These Toddler Pants are awesome.  Easily protect little knees and bums! In sizes from 6 months to 3T!

Sandra Aris Toddler Pants

Info from Sandra Aris Designs

“When learning to walk, most kids stumble and fall from time to time, but some toddlers fall more than others. Falling is a normal part of learning to walk and getting used to balancing body weight, but toddlers can become discouraged and not want to get back up again or get seriously injured while falling. Following energetic toddlers around as they run and explore can be tiresome and unpractical for parents, but the fear of having them get hurt or becoming unenthusiastic about walking can be worse than trying to keep up. Rather than feeling like bubble wrap and constant hovering are the only options, Sandra Aris created protective pants for kids that encourage exploration and keep injuries from holding them back.

“I didn’t want to be a helicopter mom that controlled every aspect of my kids’ lives and didn’t let them explore or play,” said Sandra Aris, Founder and CEO. “I created these pants to give parents peace of mind while their toddlers were learning to explore, while still encouraging kids to get back up after falling and try again.”

The pants are made with protective 3D padded technology in the butt and knees inspired by the protective materials used in motorbike and ski apparel, jackets, gloves and helmets. The design absorbs the shock from falls and gives toddlers a boost to get back up. Even after hundreds of falls, the material does not fatigue, giving it the ability to last for years (and through multiple kids). The padded layer of mesh is fully breathable, allowing little ones to be comfortable and play all day long without having moisture or heat build-up. Lead-free, lightweight, moisture-wicking fabric that provides babies and toddlers with the protection that need without getting in the way of their busy day.

Sandra Aris pants are available for babies and toddlers from as young as six months to three years old. There are two fun, stylish designs – “Super Star” features constellations and different stars within the solar system and “La Vie En Rose” has colorful, kid-approved pink flamingos surrounded by plants. Each pair is made with machine-washable, natural cotton fabric that is both durable and recyclable.”
