                                MY THOUGHTS

Well as you all probably know, I am a fan of Teen Wolf. I don't really watch it when it comes on television though but I wait until it is out on DVD because this is one of those shows I love to marathon.

 Teen Wolf season 5 part one I have been really liking and I have to admit that I watched it all in one day because I was so hooked and now I just can't wait to  watch the next half of the season.  This season is action packed.

I love this one and my only complaint really isn't on the show but on the fact that the seasons come out in parts on DVD.

Teen Wolf season 5 part 1 is now  available in stores now. 

I give this 5 out of 5

The FANTASTIC FOUR make a return with MARVEL’s next generation of heroes — four young outsiders who teleport to an alternate universe, their physical forms altered in shocking ways.

FANTASTIC”), Sue Storm (“INVISIBLE WOMAN”), Johnny Storm (“THE HUMAN TORCH”) and Ben Grimm (“THE THING”) must harness their incredible new powers and work together to save Earth from a former friend turned enemy, the infamous DR. DOOM.


MY THOUGHT

Both my husband and I hated this movie.  They got Dr. Doom all wrong and I thought the movie was so very boring and the plot was just horrible. I had to force myself to watch it.    Only good thing is the acting was decent.  

I know some people liked it but both my husband and I couldn't stand this movie.   

I give this 1 out of 5.

The Maze was just the beginning.

There’s more action, more excitement and more spectacular effects in this thrilling new chapter of the epic Maze Runner saga that’s taken the world by storm! They may have escaped from the Maze, but Thomas (Dylan O’Brien) and his fellow Gladers now face a greater challenge: searching for clues about the secret organization known as WCKD. Their journey leads them to the Scorch, a desolate wasteland filled with unimaginable dangers.  The mystery deepens at every turn as the Gladers work together to discover their purpose and battle to survive in this must-see, electrifying adventure!

MY THOUGHTS

I had read the first book a few years ago and unfortunately I had not even seen the first movie yet but I do own it on Blu-ray so as soon as I received Maze Runner : The Scorch Trials to review I had to watch the first movie and by the end of the first movie I couldn't wait to start watching the second one.

I have no idea if The Scorch Trials is anything like the book since I have not read the book.  I did enjoy this movie very much. I was entertained.  Acting was good and there were some great effects and I loved the story-line. 

I give this movie 4 out of 5

Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials Blu-ray/Dvd is now available in stores near you and online.

Canadian Freeze-Dried Pet Food #SUBZERODIFFERENCE @PetSmart #Ad



This post is sponsored by Nutrience, PetSmart, and the BlogPaws Professional Pet Blogger Network. I am being compensated for helping spread the word about the launch of Nutrience Subzero in PetSmart Canada but Geeky Girl Reviews only shares information we feel is relevant to our readers. Nutrience and PetSmart are not responsible for the content of this article.





A few weeks ago I did a post about Nutrience Grain Free Subzero™. Since that time Azrael (my cockapoo) has been eating that for his breakfast and his dinner.

Azrael is somewhat picky when it comes to dog food and he does get sick of the same food after a few weeks so I was a little worried he might not want to eat this new food but I am happy to say that he absolutely love this food. Even the cat went to nibble on Azrael's food a few times. She doesn't usually do that.

I did notice a bit of difference on Azrael since he has started eating this new food. His coat looks better and he seems to scratch less.

Nutrience Grain Free Subzero™ is made in British Columbia Canada and it is produced in small batches . The bags are resealable to keep the food fresh.

Each bag contains grain-free kibble, freeze-dried raw protein, and Nutriboost. This food is high quality dog and cat food.

The Nutrience SubZero product range comes in 3 regionally inspired formulations:

Canadian Pacific: Fresh wild -caught Pacific salmon, herring, hake, sole, cod and Arrowtooth flounder
Fraser Valley: fresh deboned chicken,turkey, wild-caught Pacific salmon, herring and cod.
Prairie Red: fresh beef, wild boar, bison,wild-caught Pacific salmon, herring and cod

Green-Lipped Mussels – A natural anti-inflammatory
to support joint health

Pacific Cod Liver- A rich source of omega-3 fatty acids for a healthy skin & coat

Pumpkin - A good source of dietary fiber to support digestion

Acadian Kelp - A variety of seaweed loaded with natural antioxidants to support a healthy immune system

There are 4 key ingredients that make up Nutriboost:
Green-Lipped Mussels – A natural anti-inflammatory
to support joint health

Pacific Cod Liver- A rich source of omega-3 fatty acids for a healthy skin & coat

Pumpkin - A good source of dietary fiber to support digestion

Acadian Kelp - A variety of seaweed loaded with natural antioxidants to support a healthy immune system
The bags of dog and cat foods do not contain corn, wheat, soy, artificial flavour, artificial colouring and no preservatives so there isn't anything bad for them at all.That is great for the health and wellness of my pets. We all want to keep our pets healthy and happy.


On November 28th 2015  PetSmart®  stores across Canada had a National demo of the Sub Zero products but unfortunately I did not have time on that day to go but we did go to PetSmart the weekend before because PetSmart is where we shop of pet foods and toys and to get Azrael groomed. Azrael loves going in the store with us and pick out a toy and ofcourse he always gets treats from the friendly staff. I took these photos the weekend before:

We went straight to the dog food shelves. We looked at where the Nutrience food usually is but we didn't find it so I asked to a friendly staff if they had it and she told me to follow her. It was in the next isle . She asked me if I knew anything about this food and she told me a little bit about it.

We missed the display all together until after we walked out of that food isle. I don't know how we missed it in the first place. I guess maybe because we were in a rush and were going in just to get the dog food for Azrael. 

 We grabbed a bag of Fraser Valley for our little guy. 




Follow PetSmart on FacebookTwitter and Instagram.





Sadie wants the best for Henry, Reese and Ricky and trusts Nutrience Subzero to provide optimal health in an easy-to-use...

MY THOUGHTS

I  accidentally stumbled upon this show last winter.  I was just flipping channel and just so happened to stop on this show.  I watched half an episode and loved it so much i decided to find out what the show was and to watch the episodes I hadn't seen.  Lucky enough the episode i have watched was just the second episode of the first season so I purchased the first season and second season right away.

I absolutely love this show and I love the third season.  I just watched Vikings season 3 and I even watched the special features.  All very entertaining and interesting .  

If you or someone you know love this show then I highly recommend Vikings season 3 on DVD

Eat Feed Love Taste Club Review

The product(s) featured in this review were provided free of cost to me by the manufacturer or representing PR agency for the sole purpose of product testing. Opinions expressed are my own and are NOT influenced by monetary compensation. 


Well you all know how I love subscription boxes and I love trying new product I had never tried before or even never heard of.  



The top inside of the box. 





Eat Feed Love is a online gourmet food store based in Victoria,BC. Every month they send you a box filled with new items and yummy recipes.  The items can be spreads, condiments, cooking sauces, oils, spices, seasonings, jams, chocolate and more. I love that each box comes with recipes to make use of the new products you have received. 

The Taste Club is $39.95 plus tax for a month, They also have 3 months and 6 months plans. Shipping is free. Prices are in USD.  Plus with every purchase you make they will feed a person in need. For November they donated to Mustard Seed outreach in Victoria, BC.




As you can see everything is wrapped up. It is all very well wrapped up with tissue paper and anything breakable was also bubble wrapped.






Metropolitan Chef Steak & Rib Rub  $4 I had a bit of this on mine and my husband's pork chops last night for dinner.  It is very good.  I can't wait to use this in the Coffee Rubbed Redeyes with Whiskey Sauce recipe card 





I haven't tried the recipes on the cards yet but I know I will try some of them this month and some later one in the future. 

Do I think this subcription box is worth it?  Like I mentioned before this is $39.95 and I did the math.  It all comes up to $56 so it is totally worth it price wise.  If you are a foodie I think this is perfect and it would make a perfect gift. 


I have to say I am very much impressed and on top of writing this post I have also told everyone I know all about Eat Feed Love Taste Club.
