Recap: Disney Live Three Classic Fairy Tales

Published on October 24, 2015December 28, 2015 by Life With Ra'Nesha15 Comments

We had a great time yesterday afternoon! We saw Disney Live! Disney Live Three Classic Fairy Tales presented by Stonyfield YoKids Organic Yogurt. This amazing and enchanting show featured Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Donald and Goofy as they bring the timeless fairy tale adventures of Cinderella, Beauty and The Beast, and Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs to life all one stage.

Before we sat down my nieces and nephews picked up Disney swag, took photo’s at the enchanted princess photo booth, grabbed popcorn, and slushies. My favorite item of choice was the Minnie Ears that light up and yes I did purchase myself a pair. Disney Live shows are for the entire family.

As the characters took the stage I glanced around at the audience; Disney fans from the tiniest to the biggest kids at heart were dressed in character from head to toe, eyes big and bright ready to enjoy the show. The show started off with Snow White and the seven dwarfs. Next up was my all time favorite fairy tale – Cinderella. Beauty and the Beast was the third and final fairytale of the afternoon. My favorite part of the show was the talking teapot, teacup, candle stick holder and dancing cutlery. Minnie and of course Mickey were narrators to open each story. It was great to see all those elements incorporated into one live show.

My family and I truly enjoyed watching the Disney Live performance. The dancers, who performed were fantastic and moved quickly through the three stories. The audience interaction was encourged throughout the performances. Snow White asked the audience’s opinion about whether she should eat the poisoned apple. The audience was filled with Disney lovers who sang along with each memorable lyric. Each scene was magical and the costumes were obsolutely stunning. We sang along “Bippity-boppity-boo”, and “Be Our Guest” then Mickey prompted us there was going to be a short intermission that lasted about 20 minutes. The show is about an hour an fifteen minutes long.

If you are looking for a family fun show please visit Disney Live by clicking here.

As a Feld Entainment Ambassador in exchange for providing my time, opinion and efforts in attending shows, Feld Entertainment has provided me with complimentary tickets to Feld shows and opportunities to attend private Feld pre-show events. I always give an honest opinion and would have paid out of pocket to attend the show. All photo credits belong to Feld Entertainment.

Recap:Circus Xtreme “The Greatest Show on Earth” Indeed It Is

Published on October 22, 2015October 26, 2015 by Life With Ra'Nesha5 Comments

Post Sponsored by Feld Entertainment and Ringling Bros. 100% my own opinion.

To say we were surprised, amazed, and joyful with the experience is an understatement last night we headed to the Ringling Bros Circus Xtreme show in Cleveland, Ohio at Quicken Loans Arena. We had such an amazing time! I am going to share some of the best moments of the show. The one thing I can guarantee is that you can expect to see amazing things happening from the beginning of the show until the end. Get your tickets now before it’s too late! The show is in town until Sunday, October 25.

Pre-Show Recommendation

Arrive early before the show starts. I would suggest 30-45 minutes early. There is an amazing pre-show where the audience is welcome to come down on the floor and see some of the acts up close. There is also activities and photo opportunities. I was able to find my inner kid and really enjoy myself. We tried on costumes and danced with the clowns.

There is normally 20-50 performers on the floor at one time I was excited when the elephants came out they were the star of the show. The stunts were clean and well executed. The Elephants were well behaved. This was one of my favorite acts. Did I mention the Elephants did a hand stand, and also balanced themselves on a very small table like stand. The trainer provided the audience with details of each stunt.

The performances and stunts were different from the previous show no repeats. We enjoyed the uniqueness of each stunt. The show was easy to focus on without multiple distractions happening at once. There was some major stunts leaving us all in awe.

There was not one bad seat in the house. No matter where your seats were located you ould view the perfomances up close. The pryotechnics, upgraded small features like lighting, music changes, and the many other enhance made the show a lot better than the first show we saw at Quicken Loans Arena. The show was very well organized. We all felt like VIP’s and as if we were apart of the show.

Get your tickets today by visiting http://www.theqarena.com/events/detail/circus-151021-25. Ticket price range from $17 to $70.

Showtimes:

Friday, October 23rd -7pm

Saturday, October 24th- 11am and 3pm

Sunday, October 25th- 11am and 3pm

I was invited to attend the show with my family. The review is 100% my opinion.

Comfort Inn Riverfront Newport, KY

Published on October 18, 2015March 13, 2016 by Life With Ra'Nesha5 Comments

The Comfort Inn in Newport, Kentucky is located 1 mile of downtown Cincinnati. This all suite hotel sits right on the riverfront and is within walking distance from the Newport on the Levee which like a outdoor strip mall for more details check out http://www.newportonthelevee.com/

Amenities include recently upgraded suites with a wet bars, coffeemaker, minifridge, flat-screen TV’s, microwaves, free parking, an exercise room, business center, free Wi-Fi, onsite laundry, and a free breakfast buffet.

At the time of check-in we were impressed with the staff and the cleanliness off the lobby. There is a beautiful swirl staircase that takes you up to the second floor which I thought was a very nice touch for the hotel. The front desk clerk was very nice and accommodating considering we had a last minute reservation requesting an early check-in. My boyfriend and I were given a lot of useful details about the area, how to get around without driving, our stay and various other helpful information. We had a lot questions not being familiar with Newport, KY.

The suite we stayed in for the evening was very spacious, clean, and the view upon entrance was amazing. The minifridge was clean and the microwave looked brand new. You can smell the fresh scent of cleaning products in the bathroom not a pinch of dust was present as we did our own white glove inspection. I was a little nervous based on some of the reviews I had read, but I must say you can’t please everyone. We are the huge critics and was very pleased with out stay. The only negative was the breakfast options.

The hotel is priced competitively and is a great hotel option if your ever looking to stay close to downtown Cincinnati.

Caramel Apples

Published on October 16, 2015 by Life With Ra'Nesha17 Comments

Today’s recipe was inspired by a good friend of my Kizzie Inc. This is a perfect recipe for the fall season!

caramel apple 1 — Photo Credit Kizzie Inc

Ingredients
6 (med size) apples
1 pound soft Kraft wrapped caramels
2 tablespoons water
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 cup water
1 cup (chopped salted almonds)
6 wooden skewers (don’t forget to decorate them)
6 cupcake paper liners

The process:

Wash apples and remove their stems. Stick the wooden skewers securely into the stem end of the apples. Chop salted almonds and add to a large bowl, set aside.

In a double boiler, add 1 cup of water to bottom and boil, set the top pan aside, unwrap the caramels; place them in the top pan with the vanilla and 2 tablespoons of water.

Place the top pan with the caramel mixture over the boiling water. Let them heat up, and stir them gently until they are completely heated and smooth. (please use a spatula to stir).

Remove the double boiler with the caramels from the heat. Dip the apples one at a time into the melted caramel and coat them, by gently turning the apple in a circular motion to coat.

Dip the coated apples into the chopped salted almonds, and place each apple in a cupcake paper and sit on a pan.

Chill the apples in the fridge until the caramel is set, about 30-60 minutes.

When ready to serve, remove from refrigerator and let the caramel apples sit on kitchen counter for about 15 minutes and enjoy!!!

Kizzie Tip: Have fun and try unique coatings for your caramel apples. Be fabulous! http://www.kizzieinc.com/
