Celebrate Finding Dory and Just Keep Winning (CLOSED)

And the winner is… Danielle Fuller!

Dory is hitting our big screens on 16 June 2016!! And we can’t wait. We have our 3D glasses ready!

Disney Pixar Finding Dory

Join Dory, Marlin and Nemo on an epic adventure that is sure to be an unforgettable experience for young and not-so-young.

Disney•Pixar’s Finding Dory welcomes back to the big screen everyone’s favorite forgetful blue tang Dory (voice of Ellen DeGeneres), who’s living happily in the reef with Nemo (voice of Hayden Rolence) and Marlin (voice of Albert Brooks). When Dory suddenly remembers that she has a family out there who may be looking for her, the trio takes off on a life-changing adventure across the ocean to California’s prestigious Marine Life Institute, a rehabilitation center and aquarium. In an effort to find her mom (voice of Diane Keaton) and dad (voice of Eugene Levy), Dory enlists the help of three of the MLI’s most intriguing residents: Hank (voice of Ed O’Neill), a cantankerous octopus who frequently gives employees the slip; Bailey (voice of Ty Burrell), a beluga whale who is convinced his echolocation skills are on the fritz; and Destiny (voice of Kaitlin Olson), a nearsighted whale shark. Deftly navigating the complex innerworkings of the MLI, Dory and her friends discover the magic within their flaws, friendships and family.

Dory is still one of my favourite characters and I can’t help but grin when I have ‘Just keep swimming’ stuck on repeat in my mind.

Your child can get 5 a day with a little help from SOLAL

Cara is a picky eater. Add to that her food allergies and sensory sensitivity, and you can only imagine the struggle. Getting her to try new foods is a huge challenge which often ends in tears and a bribe… you gotta do what you gotta do.

Picky eater

Moms, I know I’m not alone!

Last night was a good one; Cara polished a bowl of chicken, couscous and pumpkin. They day before that she ate a whole banana. Victory!! Those are exceptions to rule I’m afraid. Most days my little girl lives on jam sarmies and Weetbix. And Ouma’s spaghetti bolognese.

I try my best… I hide bananas and carrots in bran muffins, I blend veggies beyond recognition and add them to pasta dishes, but it isn’t always that simple. Or easy. Some days I am just glad that my child goes to bed with a full tummy.

Ensuring that Cara eats 5 fruit and veg portions a day is near impossible, but thanks to SOLAL, I can now stress a little less. And thank you to the lovely Eleanor for the tip! She also has a picky eater and has some great tips on her blog Just Ella Bella.

SOLAL 24-in-1™ SuperFruit & Vegetable Drink

Your child can get 5 a day with a little help from SOLAL

The SOLAL 24-in-1™ SuperFruit & Vegetable Drink provides 18 fruit
and vegetables, 5 antioxidants and 500 million probiotics
for optimum nutrition.

This yummy (really!) fruit and vegetable concentrate contributes towards the recommended 5 fruit and vegetable portions you need per day for optimum health. And if you have a picky eater like me, it is worth it’s weight in gold.

It contains 5 SuperNutrient™ antioxidants (grape seed extract, lutein, lycopene, zeaxanthin and astaxanthin), 9 SuperFruit™ extracts (mangosteen, acai, goji berry, noni, cranberry, pomegranate, bilberry, citrus bioflavonoids and blueberry), 7 fruit and vegetable concentrates (blackcurrant, carrot, celery, red beets, spinach, lettuce and onion), 2 herbal extracts (parsley and rosemary) and it is packed with 500 million probiotics per serving. It is aslo free from colourants and contains no added sugar.

Sounds awesome, doesn’t it? I think it is. And Cara loves her new juice. Winning!

This stuff is not cheap. A bottle retails for R145. I know it sounds hectic, but I really think it’s worth it. Especially during cold and flu season. And one bottle gives you 30 servings. This stuff is super concentrated so don’t be shocked when you see the size of the bottle. 150ml really gives you at least 30 servings.

SOLAL 24-in-1 is available from leading pharmacies, health stores and online at www.solal.co.za  or through www.juniva.com.

Two thumbs up.
