This morning littleBits released their Space Kit. I've been on the board of littleBits since last year and am just in awe of what the team, led by Ayah Bdeir, is cranking out. Ayah is an example of an amazing female entrepreneur and CEO. I first met her via Joanne Wilson who wrote about here here. I hope to work with her for a long time.
Seeing the launch inspired me to go dig up a list of resourced for girls learning to code. Ever since I first got involved in National Center for Women & Information Technology, I've been deep in the problem of underrepresentation of women in computer science and entrepreneurship. Lucy Sanders, the CEO of NWCIT, has taught me a huge amount about this and I've worked closely with her as chair of the organization to try to make a difference around this issue.
I regularly get asked for resources for girls who are interested in learning how to write software. Following is a list curated by Lucy.
While many of these apply to boys as well, it's a great list if you have a daughter who is interested in learning more about coding. It's by no means comprehensive – if you have other suggestions, please leave them in the comments.

Intro to Computer Science
We recently invested in littleBits. It's another of our investments that traces its roots to the MIT Media Lab. It's also another investment we are making with our friends from True Ventures. It's another one that mixes hardware and software in a delightful way that is part of our human computer interaction theme. And yet another investment in New York.
But it's the first company we've invested in that did a promotional video for their product (the Synth Kit) with Reggie Watts.
Ayah Bdeir, the CEO of littleBits, has blown my mind with her vision of where she is going to take this company. Phase 1 of littleBits was, in the company's words, creating a "library of electronic modules that snap together with tiny magnets for prototyping, learning, and fun." Today there are over 50 different bits that you can buy right now, individually or bundled in different kits.
This, by itself, is awesome. But the next phase of where Ayah is taking the company is just awesome. And, as a result, I predict you will have some littleBits somewhere in your world before you realize it. And, since Thanksgiving is just around the corner, we've got a kit to make a programmable lazy susan for your table if you need one.
Remember, the machines have already taken over. Get on board if you want to be able to play with them.

The antibacterial hand wash has been created to make hand washing fun. The product effectively removes dirt and germs and the special blend of moisturisers helps keep your skin feeling soft. It kills 999% of bacteria and is dermatologically tested by experts. The hand wash comes in a clear plastic bottle which is handy as you can see when the product is running low. The bottle is a square like shape, although it does have rounded edges to it and goes in slightly at the middle. The pump dispenser is white and you will need to turn this to the one position before using the hand wash. On the front of the bottle it clearly states what the product is and that it kills 99.9% of bacteria. On the back you can find out a little more information about the product and also a list of ingredients. You can clearly see that the hand wash is a bright pink colour which would probably appeal to girls a lot more than it would to boys.
I purchased a 250ml bottle of the hand wash from my local Boots store where it's on offer for £1.00. The full price of this item is around £1.85.
I wet my hands under the running tap and then pressed down on the pump once and a small amount of the pink coloured liquid came out. The consistency of the product seemed to be gel like, although it wasn't too thick. I rubbed my hands together and as I did so I could smell the Strawberry Lace scent of the product. This was a nice scent although I did think it smelt a little odd at the same time. The hand wash lathered up a little so my hands felt as though they were getting a really good clean. After washing my hands, they felt nice and clean and they had a light scent on them which was quite nice. I did find that the scent seemed to disappear quite quickly though. I have to admit that I actually found this product to be quite drying on my hands and although I didn't notice this straight away I did an hour or so after washing my hands as they looked a little dry and felt slightly tight as well. I actually felt the need to apply some hand cream which I happened to keep in my bag that I take to work.
Due to the product making my hands feel and look dry I probably wouldn't purchase it again although I think children will really like this handwash and they will love that their hands smell of sweeties. I definitely prefer the bubblegum handwash to this one.
I had been meaning to get around to trying the new Carex range of 'foody' scented hand washes for a while. The time finally came a couple of months ago when I saw them on offer in Sainsbury's! I stocked up with 3 different scented Carex hand washes - Cola Bottles, Chocolate Orange and Strawberry Laces.
I haven't yet tried the Chocolate Orange but I have tried the Cola Bottles which is lovely and most recently Strawberry Laces, which is also pretty wonderful.
The hand wash comes in a 250ml transparent bottle and looks similar to the other Carex hand washes but with subtle strawberry laces underneath the logo. It has a pump top and dispensing the hand wash is very easy and convenient. I wasn't too convinced that the hand wash would smell like strawberry laces but it really does. It's an absolutely gorgeous scent that is very sweet and is sure to bring back childhood memories for many! We previously had a different brand of strawberry hand wash (but not laces) and I found it overpowering and actually quite vile.
The bottle reads 'Family Favourite Fragrance' which is completely true as everybody in my family loves the scent and I have noticed that my daughter hasn't stopped washing her hands since I placed Strawberry Laces hand wash in the bathroom! I definitely think this is a great hand wash to encourage children to wash their hands more often. The bottle also states that the hand wash 'kills 99.9% of bacteria' which is good to know (I don''t like hand washes that aren't anti-bacterial). The hand wash recommends 2 pumps per wash but I generally find that 1 is enough for me. The hand wash lathers well and the smell is very apparent when using it. The scent also transfers well to the skin and appears to stay on my hands for up to thirty minutes. It is said to have 'added moisturisers' and I must say I have experienced no problems with my skin whilst using this hand wash, my hands have always been left soft and smooth after use.
Carex Strawberry Laces Hand Wash normally costs around the 1.50 mark but can often be found on offer (I got mine for 80p) and is available at most supermarkets. I have been using my current bottle regularly for a few weeks and there is still lots left, so it's pretty good value for money too. I'm happy to recommend.
This Carex Strawberry Laces Hand Wash is a great smelling hand wash that is ideal for everyone but especially children. The liquid soap cleans well, removes dirt and kills germs and bacteria. It is scented like strawberry sweets and this fragrance is left on the skin after washing. The hand wash is a little bit more expensive than the cheapest hand washes in the supermarkets but I think it is worth the extra cost because it is so enjoyable to use. I love the pump action button and it dispenses the exact amount of gel needed to clean your hands. The gel lathers up well in warm water and is also easy to wash away. It comes in a transparent bottle that is fully recyclable after removing the pump dispenser. I would definitely buy this again as it is a helpful aid in the kitchen or bathroom. It is the most unique hand wash I have found in terms of having this unusual fragrance. I would recommend this to people who clean their hands a lot but especially to mothers who are looking to encourage youngsters to wash their hands more often. The hand wash is fun and unusual and after I use it I can''t stop smelling my skin. I would buy this again and would also recommend the brand.
I came acreoss the carex cola cubes the other week whilst doing my shopping and the kids love it. So I though I would see what other smells they have this one jumped out on me for the colour and I thought strawberry laces I have to have this. I bought this for £1. When I got it home I was dieing to give if ago. Mmm smells delicious this is a great hit with my girl cousins. It's great to get them mucky kids to wash there hands. One of the best £1 I have spent. You will always find a anti bacteria hand wash in my kitchen and bathroom now it's carex cola in kitchen and carex strawberry laces in the bathroom. I no longer have to check the kids have washed there hands as they normally can't wait. A few times I have had to say I think you have washed them enought now.
Strawberry laces remind me of one thing ... school discos, of awkwardly standing on the opposite side of the room to boys & drinking coca cola through strawberry laces!
I love the Carex brand and I do normally have one particular Carex that I always buy, but when I saw these in my local Tesco memories came flooding back and I had to stock up!
I am a slight 'anti bacterial' fanatic ... I like my soap & cleaners to be able to kill whatever germs my messy flat throws at them without being damaging to my hands. My hands are quite dry throughout the year, and become even drier when I'm cleaning my flat or cooking (which needs constant hand washing!) so the Carex brand really helps to keep my hands feel lovely & really soft while killing all germs.
The smell is really lovely, sweet & long lasting smell. The soap smells just like the real strawberry laces rather than an artificial attempt to recreate a smell!
Now although I don't have children, my boyfriend and I are both 25 and had the same nostalgic reaction to using this soap. So not only is it 'Family friendly' its 'Grown up's who having quite grown up' friendly too!
One thing that you will always find in my kitchen and bathroom is a bottle of antibacterial hand wash. I will normally just purchase the original variety but couldn't resist trying the new cussons carex strawberry laces fragrance hand wash when I spotted it recently.
I purchase the hand wash from Asda where it was offer for just 90p for a 250ml bottle which I thought was excellent value for a branded hand wash.
The hand wash comes packaged in a clear plastic bottle with a pump action dispenser. I love that the plastic is clear as it allows you to see the bright pink hand wash inside which looks really funky on my kitchen sink. On the front and back of the bottle there is stick on labels which detail all of the product information including ingredients listings and directs for use. It also states that it has been dermatologically tested for skin kindness and contains added moisturisers.
The directions for use state to use two pumps of the hand wash with warm water and to wash your hands for at least 15 seconds. I have been following these instructions and have been very impressed with the results. I get a lovely lather and the fragrance is lovely and does remind me of the strawberry lace sweets as it is sweet and fruity smelling. The fragrance does linger on my skin for a while after use but is not too overpowering, my hands are also left feeling cleansed, fresh and soft. Obviously you cannot see the antibacterial action working but it states that this hand wash kills 99.9% of bacteria which I think is pretty impressive and just what you need in a kitchen when handling food.
Overall I have been really impressed with this carex hand wash it makes a lovely change to the usual boring hand washes and leaves my skin feeling clean and soft as well as killing off those nasty germs. A little also goes a long way making excellent value especially if you can find it on special offer.
I bought this hand wash on a recent trip to the supermarket for two reasons. Firstly, the colour pink appealed to my girly side and second of all because the 'strawberry laces' appealed to my inner child.
About the product
The product promises to get your hands squeaky clean and fresh. The product is an antibacterial hand wash which claims that it will remove dirt and germs from the hands. It also contains moisturisers so that your hands are left feeling soft and smooth. It promises to protect your family's hands and to appeal to your senses with a delicious sweet strawberry scent.
Packaging and Price
The product come contained within a clear plastic bottle and there is a picture of a strawberry and some strawberry laces on the front. It has a white pump dispenser in order to dispense the product. The product is available for around £1.50 and it can be bought from stores such as Superdrug and Boots, large supermarkets and also from a range of online websites.
Application and Performance
The product is a gorgeous hot pink shade which is cute on display in my bathroom. The product has an aroma which suits the product down to the ground. It smells just like strawberry laces and it is fruity, sugary and sweet. This product would really appeal to children and would probably encourage them to start washing their hands more often which is never a good thing.
The dispenser is easy to push down on and plenty of the product is really with each pump. I wet my hands with water before applying the product. It has the consistency that you would expect from a hand wash and it glides easily across the hands as you massage it into the skin without pulling or dragging. It foams and bubbles nicely making you feel like its doing a good job of cleansing the hands. The product smells delicious throughout this process.
Due to my job, I am always getting covered in paint and pen and this hand wash removes it all easily with minimum rubbing. The product is easily rinsed off when you have finished and the formula is gentle, causing no irritations. My hands don't feel especially soft after use but they definitely don't feel tight or dry either. My hands feel fresh and clean, and the lovely scent lingers on the hands too.
All in all, this is a fun hand wash which leaves the hands squeaky fresh and clean. It has a fun fragrance and cute colour which means this will appeal to both children and adults. It is gentle on the hands, cleanses well and doesn't dry out the skin. I really like this product and would recommend it.
After buying the cola bottle handwash I thought that I would be quite adventurous when I bought my next handwash, so decided to go for a "strawberry laces" flavoured handwash instead. my nieces are a massive fan of strawberry laces and are always asking me to buy it for them so I knew they would be happy about this handwash.
What does the product do?
Like every other hand wash this product is designed to clean hands and get rid of bacteria and dirt leaving hands feeling fresh. The main thing that catches people's attention with this product is the flavour as it is very unusual and different to what they usually expect.
My personal opinion
Just like the cola bottle flavoured hand wash I was happy every time I used this. The smell was sweet but not overbearing it is as if you are actually holding strawberry laces. Just as I expected my nieces were major fans of this handwash and made any excuse just to wash their hands. It is safe to say that this product is a firm favourite with kids so if you have any I would highly recommend buying it as it will encourage them to wash their hands.
Overall I really liked using this product and it certainly brightened up my plain bathroom, I would recommend it especially to those who have young kids that are quite reluctant to wash their hands.
Today I'd like to review the Strawberry Laces hand wash by Carex.
Shopper's appeal
I discovered this hand wash at Tesco whilst doing my usual shopping! The colour of the hand wash immediately appealed to me - I just love pink products and buy them whenever possible. When I saw that the scent of the hand wash is called "Strawberry Laces" I was won over! I don't think I have used a Carex product before, so from the view of a dedicated product tester this was very exciting. ;)
The packaging
This hand wash comes in a slightly square-shaped, see-through plastic bottle with rounded edges. The blue Carex-logo can be seen in the middle with two waterdrop-like creatures looming above it, one saying "family favourite fragrance" in a white speech bubble. A pink swirl that looks like it is coming from behind the Carex-logo is shaped like strawberry laces-candy and the scent's name is stated in pink letters with a little strawberry next to it.
On the back of the bottle there is light blue label with all the product information you could desire. ;) The product is described as a "fun antibacterial hand wash that the whole family will love to use". The product is supposed to be "effective yet gentle in helping to prevent the spread of germs". The germ-killing formula of the hand wash is said to be working within seconds. It contains added moisturisers, supports the skin's natural antibacterial defences and was deramtologically tested for skin kindness.
The product's ingredients are listed as well.
The bottle can be recycled and contains 250ml.
My experiences
I loved this hand wash from the first minute on! The scent is incredibly pleasant and really does smell like the famous strawberry laces candy and has a lovely pink colour. I used to love eating those strawberry laces when I was younger so the scent of this product awakens pleasant childhood memories. In general I really like candy-like scents, so this product is perfect for me!
I felt like the promises made on the back of the bottle were kept. My hands always felt and looked clean after washing them with this product. It is indeed very gentle to the skin and doesn't dehydrate at all, so I do think it is indeed suitable for the whole family. I tend to wash my hands a lot, sometimes more than neccessary, and still they felt great!
The bottle lasted me quite a while. I live by myself and use this at pretty much every trip to the bathroom and after a month it still wasn't empty yet!
If you have allergies or very sensitive skin, you should of course check the list of ingredients before buying this product!
The ingredients
Aqua, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Sodium Chloride, Glycerin, Polyquaternium-7, Parfum, Sodium Benzoate, Lactic Acid, tetrasodium Glutamate, Diacetate, Benzotriazolyl Dodecyl p-Cresol, CI 17200.
The price
At the moment you can get this lovely handwash for just £0.85 at Tesco.
I love this hand wash! It cleanses perfectly and smells fabulous. I suppose you have to be fond of candy-scented products to enjoy it, but if that's a thing for you, have a go!! :)
So I am into the final review of these Carex hand washes. Now it was abit of an unexpected review to be honest because whilst dooyoo got me into these hand washes, I thought I was done. I had review the cola ones after purchase, I had reviewed the chocolate orange after purchase and honestly, I did not think much of the Strawberry Laces. I did not purchase them.
My wife arrived home the other day, having purchased the Strawberry Laces. Bugger I thought! Something that I was not keen on, was not in my house.
So lets just go over what we have. Carex have produce three scents to add to their hand wash. These are mentioned above. The idea is good as it encourages kids to wash their hands and in turn it kills 99% of bacteria. They come in a 250ml pump action plastic bottle
Strawberry Laces:
Incase you are not picking up on it, these is not my favourite. Unscrew the top and take a whiff and you do not really get the smell of the sweets. You can get a small whiff of Strawberry but that its. Nothing like the sweets.
The liquid is a nice strawberry red colour which is clear in look. Once applied to the hand with some warm water you start to scrub. Result? An ok Strawberry smelling liquid but just does not do it for me. The smell that is. I am sure it kills the bacteria, but if you really want Strawberry Laces then its not worth investing in. Try the cola or the chocolate orange version.
The cost of these vary across the various supermarkets. Its £1.80 in Tesco or £0.92 in Sainsburys. Hold out if you can because I see these on offer alot of the time for approximately £1.
I've seen a lot of reviews on here for the Carex flavoured hand washes and so when I needed to replace my hand soap I decided to try one of them. The cola bottles flavour didn't really appeal to me so I went for the Strawberry Laces one. I bought it in Boots for £1.85 for 250ml - this is maybe a little bit more than I'd usually pay, but I fancied it!
The soap is in a pump and the pump dispenses exactly the right amount for washing my hands. It lathers up well and rinses off without any residue or sticky feeling (which I was a bit worried about because of the very sweet smell). It's not a moisturising hand wash, but it's not drying either - I will tend to use some hand moisturiser as well if I'm washing my hands a lot.
The smell of this hand wash is really great. It smells exactly like Strawberry Laces. Whenever I wash my hands the smell fills up my sink area and I can usually smell it on my hands for a while after (but it's not too strong).
The downside to this is that the men in your life might not want to smell like strawberry! The upside is that I'm sure any children in your life probably will want to! I think this is a nice idea if you have children of a toilet-training age that you might want to further encourage them to wash their hands after going to the toilet - it certainly adds something a little more fun to it. I also put mine in a fun soap dispenser (a Poodle shaped one from Octopus/Pylon) which is also a must for reminding little ones to wash their hands.
The claims on the bottle are that it kills 99.9% of bacteria - I have no proof of this, but my hands feel clean and Carex is a brand I trust for keeping me hygienic.
I give this product 5/5 - can't knock anything off from my personal opinion. If there was one tiny thing I'd add it's that they should introduce a 'refill' bottle without the pump to save on wasteful packaging - if you keep buying their products (or have your own dispenser like me) you don't need the pump and it's just extra unnecessary plastic. Other than that a great, fun soap!
Product: Carex Strawberry Laces Hand Wash
Price: 85p
From: Tesco
I often buy hand wash to use at my sinks rather than a bar of soap, I find the liquid from the pump dispenser a lot more easier to use whilst on the go and a lot more hygienic too.
I was in my local Tesco store one afternoon doing a weekly shop when I came across the new Carex Strawberry Laces Hand Wash. It was on special offer for only 85p so I decided to give it a try.
The hand wash comes in a clear plastic bottle with the product title, logo and description printed on a sticker at the front of the bottle whilst all other relevant information is printed on a sticker at the back of the bottle. The bottle as a push down dispenser on the top of the bottle and the liquid inside is a pink colour.
Carex states that the handwash kills 99.9% of bacteria and supports the skins natural antibacterial defences.
The handwash cleans my hands thoroughly and leaves them smelling sweet and fresh. I can really smell the strawberry laces on my hands after washing them and it's the exact same smell as the sweet strawberry laces you buy from sweet shops. Yummy!
The downside for me is that this product leaves my hands feeling extremely dry and a little bit scaly, especially on the back of my hands. I do have sensitive skin but I have used other Carex hand wash and they have been completely fine so I figure that it must be an ingredient in this that does not agree with my skin.
I love the smell of the product and how clean my hands feel after using this, but I wouldn't buy it again as it seems to be the culprit for causing the dry skin on my hands.
Product Rating: 3/5
Aqua,Sodium Laureth Sulfate ,Cocamidopropyl Betaine ,Sodium Chloride ,Glycerin ,Polyquaternium-7 ,Parfum ,Sodium Benzoate ,Lactic Acid ,Tetrasodium Glutamate Diacetate ,Benzotriazolyl Dodecyl p-Cresol ,CI 17200
I've had this handwash in my cupboard for ages and had totally forgotten all about it. I seem to remember buying it from Tesco when it was on offer, so I'm not quite sure how much I paid for it but you can bet it was less than £1. I don't normally buy Cussons as it's normally a bit expensive, well for me it is anyway, so this for me was a treat.
Well I got it out of the cupboard and finally gave it a try, and was instantly taken back to my childhood, the smell is that of those strawberry shoe laces you could buy. Yes I know you can still buy them today, but let's face it, they've played around with them that much that they're just not the same. The smell is a sweet but strong strawberry flavour, so much so that you could almost eat it, not that I'd advise that, and it lingers on your hands for quite a while, which I find quite pleasing. A little press of the pump action dispenser produces just enough light pink liquid to wash your hands without the need for repeated pumping. If you want more bubbles then please pump away to your hearts content, but I found that a small amount was quite sufficient to wash my hands. It doesn't seem to dry your hands either which is a good thing.
The bottle is exactly like that shown in the picture, nothing fancy, it does the job it's designed to do without taking up too much room on your sink, or wherever you decide to place it. This would be a great handwash for kids, as it's pink and smells great, it's not flowery, but then again I'm a big kid at heart so for me it's great too.
I like this brand of hand wash, I am not loyal to any brand of washes and usually just buy which one takes my fancy at the time or one which is on special offer. I don't mind a shops own brand and just tend to buy one which I think may be suitable for my family and myself. I did like the name of this hand wash and that is one of the main reasons I bought it.
It comes in a transparent plastic bottle which has a pump dispenser. It is very easy to press the dispenser and the liquid wash does dispense nicely onto the hands without it dripping all over the sink etc.
It is a fairly rich liquid and a nice rich consistency, it is gel like and is a pink colour. It has a nice fragrance to it and one I can best describe as being quite fruity with a sweet smell to it. I do like the smell of this hand wash and find it a refreshing kind of smell which is really pleasant.
You don't need a lot of the wash to lather really well, just a couple of pumps is well enough to create a good lather and foam. It feels really soft and creamy while washing the hands and it has a nice texture to it. It is also very easy to rinse fro the hands too in no time at all. I like the feel of the creamy texture in between my fingers.
It cleans the skin well too and removes any dirt on the skin, removes chocolate and any sticky foods. It even washes my hubby's hands well when he comes home from work with any grime or oil on his hands from work. The first thing he ever does when he arrives home is to immediately wash his hands and this soap has removed all traces of dirt from a working man's hands. If it didn't remove the dirt he would tell me and not use it again but he's never complained it doesn't wash his hands well enough.
It leaves the hands feeling soft and not dry. I find it hasn't irritated my sensitive skin and my little grandchildren have used this liquid soap and they too have had no irritations on their more softer, delicate skins. The fragrance also remains on the skin for a while after washing the hands. So the smell does have some staying power.
It claims to kill 99.9% of germs in seconds of washing the hands. We can never be sure if a hand soap kills this amount of germs in a few seconds and we just have to have trust in the brand which states it does. So can never be sure but at least it will kill most germs.
My hands do feel fairly soft after using this soap because it contains added moisturisers. I find my skin doesn't feel tight or too dry. I have very dry skin and this soap hasn't made my skin feel any drier compared to any other branded soap I use. I do always use a hand lotion or cream after washing my hands, and I have found my skin to feel smooth and soft after applying my hand cream. When I haven't had time to apply a cream, I have found my skin is dry but no drier than if I hadn't washed them using this soap, so all good.
A little does go a very long way and you don't need to use too much of the liquid to clean the hands thoroughly. Too much isn't necessary with this one. Using too much would be a waste of money and also a waste of the soap in my opinion. The hands are not going to be any cleaner using more liquid and there will be far too many bubbles which doesn't mean the more you use the cleaner your hands are going to be.
I bought it some time ago on special offer for only a £1 for a 250ml bottle. I think it is usually priced around the £1.80 mark. I think bought on offer it is excellent value for the price and well worth the money I paid. I do think it is even good value for the usual price too and I would certainly buy it at the full asking price. The quality is really good and a well worth purchase for hand washing and suitable for all the family to use.
The bottle can also be recycled after use too.
I highly do recommend this liquid soap, it is a good buy and a nice family soap. It is suitable for both men and women to use and not just a feminine wash like you may think with it being a pink colour. It is affordable and will last quite a while. Looks pretty in my bathroom too. I think if you are lucky enough to have a en-suite in your bedroom this one would look nice and look rather posh lol.
A lovely gentle liquid hand soap which I will most definitely buy again in the future because it removes dirt well from hands and leaves skin feeling soft and smooth.
Also on Ciao under my username pinky50.
I give this one 5 stars.
Thank you for reading my review and I hope it has been of some help.

===My Opinion===
Being quite health and germ conscious I always try and have antibacterial hand wash in both the bathroom and kitchen to try and keep infections at bay.
I tend to shop online with Tesco and would mostly buy their own antibacterial hand wash when it is available, but often it is not on the list of products so then I do looking for something similar.
This product I feel is quite expensive at £1.80 but I was able to buy it at half price which was more reasonable, although it is half the size of the Tesco bottle I normally buy (a good marketing ploy by Tesco I often feel - to not have their own brand products available to so you are forced to buy the more expensive brands).
Anyway this Carex product, as well as their conventional hand washes, comes in two bright colours and fragrances - you can have this one which is bright pink and smelling of strawberries or the bright orange one which is fragranced with chocolate orange.
The two vivid colours and aromas are aimed at all the family but are probably more targeted towards children to encourage them to wash their hands.
The colour is lovely and the wash has a sweet strawberry smell. I a not sure about smelling like the strawberry laces sweets as I have never tried them but it is a lovely strawberry sweetie smell.
The bottle says to be completely effective you need to wash your hands for at least 15 seconds.
I am sure children would love these novelty colours and smells - and it may save some nagging regarding the hand washing business.
For us, I found the smell quite sweet and appealing - the hand wash worked well to clean my hands. Luckily the smell did not linger on my hands afterwards either.
The product is supposed to have added moisturisers but personally I did not find it especially moisturising - but neither was it drying - for me no better or worse than many other hand washes I have tried.
It is a nice thickish consistency and I would be happy to buy it again if it was on offer.
Now I would like to try the chocolate orange version but I feel my son would detest it - hence I tried this strawberry one first.
===Star Rating===
4 stars - a bit expensive.
===Would I Recommend?===
Aqua, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Sodium Chloride, Glycerin, Polyquaternium-7, Parfum, Sodium Benzoate, Lactic Acid, Tetrasodium Glutamate Diacetate, Benzotriazolyl Dodecyl p-Cresol, CI 17200.

A possible fix for high Finder CPU usage
I was wondering about this too. I took my mid-2009 MacBook Pro into my Apple Store because I noticed how slowly the Finder was responding, and I would get a beach ball when switching between Finder windows. My hard drive was indeed failing, but even after replacing it and doing a restore via Migration Assistant (so I would have a fresh copy of Snow Leopard), it was still happening. My MacBook Pro is a top-of-the-line Mac: 3.06 GHz processor, 8 Gb RAM, and 7200 RPM drive, and the nVidia GPU is on. So I didn't think there should be any reason why Finder should be slow on a new machine with a new hard drive.

10.5: Quick Look files in Open and Save dialogs
I've come a bit late to this thread, but it overlooks what is in my opinion an even better solution - Default Folder X (though it's not free). Among many other features, it can place a panel at the bottom of Open dialogs with options to show selected file and folder Previews, Information (where you can add or remove a label, hide or show the file extension, lock or unlock the file and change its stationary status), Comments (which you can edit) and Permissions (which you can change). If you hover over an item preview the Quick Look full-screen arrows appear, enabling you to enlarge the view with a click. No drag and drop required. And though the Space bar won't dismiss the enlarged view, the Escape key will as will clicking on the image. All in all a very slick solution to the problem at hand.

► Name ➔ Kenny
► Will you answer all questions truthfully ➔ Yes
► You may start ➔ Start what?
► Are you single ➔ "Here I am, a confirmed old bachelor and likely to remain so." (Henry Higgins says this in My Fair Lady, but I don't have a better way to phrase "forever alone")
► Are you happy ➔ I have happy moments here and there, but in an overall sense, it's been quite a while since I've been happy.
► Are you bored ➔ Tumblr keeps me entertained, but yeah, in a "life" sense, I'm bored.
► Are you sad ➔ Yes, much of the time. I often think that I had my golden opportunity in life, and I blew it.
► Are you Italian ➔ I honestly don't know. My first stepdad (who I usually refer to as Evil Stepdad #1 on here) used to brag about how Italian he was, though.
► Are you German ➔ Don't know. I remember when I was a kid, before the first divorce, my dad said something about being 1/4th this and 1/16th that and 1/16th this other thing and 1/32nd something else (and so on), so I've always just called myself a mutt and not worried too much about it.
► Are you Asian ➔ I don't look like it. Probably not.
► Are you angry ➔ Not generally. Sure, I get angry about things, but I don't think I'm generally an angry person.
► Are you Irish ➔ I might be part that. As much as my family apparently got around, odds are there's a percentage of Irish in there somewhere.
► Are your parents still married ➔ Nope, they separated when I was 6, divorced when I was 7. From then on, it was me and Mom and various men. Dad wasn't a big part of the picture (if you want to read a bit about him, check my dad tag).

► Gender ➔ Male
► Lefty or Righty ➔ Right-handed
► Summer or winter ➔ Winter
► Morning or afternoon ➔ Can I choose evening? If not, then afternoon. Morning is the time before bed.
► Are you in love ➔ Nope. It's been a while.
► Do you believe in love at first sight ➔ It may be possible, but even in those cases the relationship would take work.
► Who ended your last relationship ➔ Probably depends on who you ask. When I went to visit her the last time, she didn't pick me up from the airport and had been badmouthing me to her friends online. When I got home, I stopped calling and so did she. Is there a referee who can decide who ended it? I don't dwell on the "who," though…I think we both knew we'd run our course.
► Have you ever been hurt ➔ Oh yeah. My ex-fiancee sent me a "Dear John" email on Christmas Eve. That's hard to shake off.
► Have you ever broken someone's heart ➔ Sadly, yes.
► Are you friends with your ex ➔ It's been what, three and a half years or so? We haven't talked since. But she lives in New York, and I'm in Washington, so it's not like the odds of us bumping into each other are very high.
► Are you afraid of commitment ➔ No, but maybe yes. I'd love to find one woman to spend the rest of my life with and settle down with them, but I'm afraid that I would end up with the wrong person if I committed too quickly. After being single for this long, I guess I'm just used to it. See also: abandonment issues
► Have you hugged someone within the last week? ➔ I have not.
► Have you ever had a secret admirer ➔ Not unless you count tumblr anons…I've had a few flirty ones, but I don't think that counts. Wait, I did have flowers left on my car windshield once, but there was no card/note and I think maybe someone just left them there by mistake.
► Have you ever broken your own heart? ➔ Oh yeah.
► Love or lust ➔ Definitely love. It's a better feeling.
► Lemonade or iced tea ➔ Iced tea
► Cats or Dogs ➔ Dogs
► A few best friends or many regular friends ➔ I usually do better with a smaller group of close friends.

► Pepsi or Coke ➔ Dr. Pepper. But if I have to choose one of the two, then Coke.
► Wild night out or romantic night in ➔ Romantic night in
► Pink or purple ➔ Purple
► Day or night ➔ The night time is the right time.
► IM or Phone ➔ I don't really keep IM open on my computer anymore. I preferred texts when I had a cell phone; now email is probably your best bet to get a hold of me.
► Been caught sneaking out ➔ My mom just assumed that if I wasn't home, I was at my friend's house a few blocks away (which was usually true, unless our group of friends was sliding down grass hills on blocks of ice or driving a couch through LAX or something). I think I went an entire summer once where my mom saw me maybe three times.
► Fallen off the stairs ➔ You mean some people haven't?
► White water rafted ➔ A couple times. The last time, we hit a Class 4 rapid and I was catapulted from the raft. I came down right next to the raft, though, and was able to grab on to the rope that went around it and ride it out safely.
► Finished an entire jawbreaker ➔ Yes. It took a while — unless you mean the tiny gobstopper ones — I'm thinking the medium-sized Disneyland ones. I never finished their giant ones.
► Wanted something/someone so badly it hurt? ➔ Yes
► Prank called a store ➔ No, but I prank called Michael Eisner once from the Balloon Room at Disneyland. Then other people decided to do it, too. We showed up on his secretary's caller ID and she called us back to see what was going on, and I pretended to be more important than I was and said I'd put a stop to it (I did actually put a stop to it, though).
► Skipped school ➔ I probably missed 1/3 of 6th grade and 1/4 of 8th grade from pretending to be sick.
► Wanted to disappear ➔ Most definitely.
► Smile or eyes ➔ I'm a sucker for eyes, but eyes are always prettier when someone smiles.
► Light or dark hair ➔ Doesn't matter
► Fat or skinny ➔ I'm more interested in who someone is than what they look like.
► Shorter or Taller ➔ See above.
► Intelligence or Attraction ➔ Intelligence is very attractive.
► Jock or Nerd ➔ Nerd
► Hook-up or Relationship ➔ Relationship
► Funny and poor OR rich and serious ➔ What good is a life without laughter?
► Last Phone Call ➔ My best friend in L.A. when I went to visit him not long ago, to let him know that I had landed and was waiting at the airport (which he was already circling in his car).
► Last phone call you received ➔ My dad's widow, letting me know that I was left out of the will. Wow, that was back in May. Been a while since anyone called me.
► Last person you hung out with ➔ Other than family? My buddy in L.A. a few weeks ago. He flew me down for a visit and we did some catching up, but mostly enjoyed reliving a bit of the good old days when we'd just hang out all the time.
► Last thing you ate ➔ Finishing a Nissin Cup Noodles as I type.
► Last thing you drank ➔ Diet Shasta Cola (not a fan, but water gets old).
► Last site you went to ➔ Tumblr, or if that doesn't count, then it was a Mozilla help site because I was sick and tired of the Thunderbird email program doing web searches with Bing.
► Last place you were ➔ Wow, has it already been two weeks since I left the house? Last time I went anywhere was to my little sister's for the 4th of July..
► Are you in a committed relationship ➔ Nope
► When was your last relationship ➔ Ended in December of 2008.
► Have you ever loved a guy/girl more than anything else in the world? ➔ My ex-fiancee, yes. I was ready to spend forever with her. In retrospect, I'm probably better off that it didn't happen, but I've never before or since felt that way about anyone.
► Do you still love them ➔ I can't say that I do. We tried the whole "we can still be friends" thing, but then she got ticked off that I shared a joke with her brother a few months later, angry that I talked to someone in her family without her "OK." So then I told her she couldn't boss me around anymore, and the only other time we spoke after that was several years later, when I rehired into Disneyland, and she was in City Hall when I went to deliver a deflated balloon for a guest who had requested it. It was a very short meeting…I gave her the balloon, she said "thanks," and walked away. After that, I sent someone else to City Hall if she was there. No need to let guests sense the awkward.
► Do you like someone right now ➔ Realistically? No. There are a few who I wouldn't mind getting to know better, but I'm not exactly a ladies' man…and I'm OK with that. I'm not exactly a catch anyway.
► Do you and your family get along ➔ On my mom's side, yes. Dad's side hates me because I didn't suck up to him when he was dying. My older sister (who lived with my dad after the divorce) and I never really got along as kids. We made peace, but then I didn't go visit dad when we knew he was dying (here's a post about how I felt about him if you want to know why I didn't want to go — he just wanted people to see him make nice with me; he didn't want me to come because he actually wanted to see me).
► Would you say you have a "messed up life"➔ Big-time. I think that's part of why I always mentally escaped to Disney. It was an escape from my own harsh realities.
► Have you ever run away from home ➔ I'd catch a shuttle from LAX to Disneyland when I needed to escape Evil Stepdad #1 for a while (we lived within walking distance if I couldn't get a ride to the airport). Until I lost my last job a couple years ago, I'd worked since I was ten years old, so I could afford to go once a month or so. It was more fun than running away.
► Have you ever gotten kicked out ➔ Evil Stepdad #1 shipped me off to live with my dad in 6th grade, but it didn't work out too well between us and dad shipped me back.
► If so, how long ➔ About half the school year (this was the part of 6th grade where I was ditching school, too…the bullying in Santa Barbara was too much for me).
► Do you secretly hate one of your friends ➔ No
► Do you consider all of your friends good friends ➔ Well, in real life my only actual friend (as opposed to friends I only talk to online) lives in L.A. We've been friends for over 20 years, so I think it's safe to say that we're very good friends. Online, it's harder to tell.
► Who are/is your best friend(s) ➔ That would be my buddy Ed in L.A. The man has stuck with me through a hell of a lot, and I may not have made it this far without him.
► Would you die for them ➔ He's got more to live for than me, so I probably would.
► Who knows everything about you ➔ Ed. Although if anyone's actually read everything I've ever posted here, they know me pretty damned well also.

Welcome to Guys Read, a web-based literacy program for boys founded by author and First National Ambassador of Young People's Literature Jon Scieszka.. Our mission is to help boys become self-motivated, lifelong readers.
Research shows that boys are having trouble reading, and that boys are getting worse at reading. No one is quite sure why. Some of the reasons are biological. Some of the reasons are sociological.
But the good news is that research also shows that boys will read — if they are given reading that interests them.
So the biggest part of this site is the collection of book titles below. These are books that guys have told us they like.
Our idea is to help guys become readers by helping them find texts they want to read.
Get in there and start looking around. There is a little something for everyone.
And please help guys out by recommending more of your guy-favorites.
New York Times best selling author Jeff Brown continues his unique spin on the grand space epic of the Star Wars universe, focusing in on a silly and smart slice-of-life portrait of a group of Jedi hopefuls. The hard-earned confidence from his initial year at Jedi Academy quickly fades as Roan Novachez enters his second year, which holds a whole new slew of challenges. Asides from how hard flight simulation is, his personal life is getting complicated: things have gotten weird between him and his best friend Pasha, and they get weirder when he goes for a sleepover to Pasha's home planet for the weekend and it feels like Pasha's dad hates him; and Roan has a growing crush on Gaiana, but is it just him, or is she avoiding him all of a sudden? And why are the jerks who used to bully him being really nice to him all of a sudden? Well, at least with teachers like Yoda, he's certain to figure out how to use the force and solve some of these problems.
Click here for a list of some of Jeffrey Brown's favorite books!
Baraki Katari Johnson is having a bad day—his best and only friend, the positive and encouraging Wardell signed him up for the class hall monitor election, and there's only one other candidate: golden boy Tariq Thomas, the kid everybody loves, who's been the class hall monitor, unchallenged, for years. Baraki doesn't even think most of the class knows he exists. Except for Keisha: Tariq's best friend and Baraki's new nemesis. She immediately begins her behind-the-teacher's-back campaign to trash talk Baraki until he steps out of the race. But he can't. Because that would mean doing something, and he has trouble taking a stand, either way – Baraki prefers to let things just pass and happen and resolve themselves.
That's not an option when while on the way to the bathroom he's yanked through a portal out of this dimension and into the Zero Degree Zombie Zone, where Ice Zombie Lord Zenon towers over Baraki and informs him he'd better get his ring back by the end of the day, or he'll have to unleash an army of zombies onto the school to take it back!
Baraki doesn't even know what this ring is, let alone how to get it and hand it over. But he's going to have to figure that out, and also maybe find a way to team up him and Wardell with Keisha and Tariq if they're going to have a chance at stopping Zenon from unleashing the ice zombie invasion on their school!
Journalist and sought after public speaker and expert on public culture and the arts Patrick Henry Bass's middle grade novel debut is a playful action-packed adventure filled with characters that feel straight from a real-life classroom.
Hello everybody! Just in time for Children's Book Week (which you can find more info about here, for events in your area) we're updating the site with new content, and you can expect a steady stream of it from now on. We've been working to come up with a new strategy, and this is the start of it. Today we've got a new Book of the Month and Book on the Pile, as well as the first of many exciting new personalized favorite reading lists from some of your favorite authors, starting out with Eliot Schrefer, acclaimed author of Endangered and Threatened!
And we're expanding our social media—we'd love it if you'd join us on facebook and twitter to keep up with our regular content updates, help spread the word about great books for guys, and maybe even share your favorites!

The creaky drawers and scarred slide-top cases of CDs; rows of faded, autographed celebrity head-shots; and bins of retro concert posters are all hallmarks of a business that still has one foot squarely in the past. Just like back then, the mainstay of the store is sheet music; scores and fake books take up the majority of the space, covering everything from Broadway shows to be-bop. There are also racks of showtune/soundtrack CDs, contemporary rock and reggae albums, and boxed-sets of classic vocalists like Bing Crosby and Sinatra. If you can't find what you're looking for among the substantial inventory, take heart—the motto of the "musicologist" staff is, "You hum the tune, we tell you the title."

Development of Novel Chemotherapeutics against bacteria and protozoa
Infectious diseases including acute respiratory infections, diarrhoeal diseases, measles, AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis remain the main cause of death worldwide (~85% of the mortality). In addition, several pathogenic bacteria and protozoa cause high rates of morbidity with social and economic consequences. Resistance to first-line drugs in the pathogens causing these diseases is widely spread. The massive increases in trade and human mobility as a consequence of globalization have enabled the rapid spread of infectious agents, including those that are drug resistant. Antibiotic resistance is responsible for approximately 100,000 deaths in the United States, caused by hospital-acquired infections per year at an estimated annual cost of $23 billion.
Development of new classes of broad-spectrum chemotherapeutic agents based on new targets is critically needed to overcome drug-resistance and unwanted side-effects to the current therapeutics for infectious diseases. Theoretically, drug targets that are absent in or different from the human host substantially decrease the potential of unwanted side effects, and drugs against these targets are likely to be safe in pregnant women, elder patients and children which are the most susceptible population to severe infectious disease. The methylerythritol phosphate (MEP) pathway for isoprenoid biosynthesis had become an excellent drug target against bacteria and a parasite since it is absent in humans and is essential for survival of pathogens that rely on this pathway for isoprenoids supply. We are exploring two pathways to obtain specific inhibitors against the MEP pathway: 1) screening of natural extracts and 2) drug design using structure-based design, molecular docking, and ligand-based approaches. Moreover, our laboratory uses the liquid chromatography in tandem with mass spectrometry-based methods for metabolite analysis, pharmacokinetics and ADME analysis.

I can't say enough positive things about Sonia at XOXO Bride. We hired her as a day-of coordinator, but she started helping us months before the big day. She did everything from recommend outstanding vendors to reassure my nervous mother. On the day, she really blew us away. We did not have to worry about anything and everything looked absolutely beautiful. She even wrangled my wild dog! Her and her team went above and beyond to make sure that we enjoyed our day completely stress free. If you're looking for a coordinator with impeccable taste, a positive attitude and a calming presence, then Sonia is your lady!

Saralee at XOXO Bride went above and beyond listening to our unconventional wishes, and found us vendors and a venue that would best fit with our tastes for our special day. Everything was perfect. When there was an issue with the venue after the reception, she went above and beyond her job description and made sure that both parties were satisfied with the outcome. We would recommend her to our friends and family for sure.

I don't know where to begin about Sonia and XOXO Bride. She had me at hello! Our first conversation was perfection - she totally "got" the vision and the vibe that my husband and I had for our wedding and she never ceased to amaze us with her spirit, professionalism and attention to detail throughout the entire process. I adore Sonia! She is not only a fabulous wedding planner, but a special person as well. She exudes warmth, kindness and professionalism with all that she does. She is extremely responsive, organized and detailed about everything...and is a total delight to work with. Sonia helped bring our vision to life, creating a magical and unforgettable weekend from start to finish. I would HIGHLY recommend Sonia to plan anyone's wedding or special event. She is a star in every way!

If you want an organized professional that is accessible, a high function multitasker, creative talent, attentive listener, works well under extreme unexpected conditions and personable, hire Saralee Franchi. Saralee far exceeded our expectations and is sincerely more than incredible.
We faced several challenges inclusive of a venue change and vendor replacements during the planning and implementation of our daughter's wedding. Saralee successfully navigated our journey working seamlessly with and between numerous vendors and her "Day Of "scheduling ability is astonishing. Tranforming a private estate bringing in every item and coordinating over ten vendors requires immeasureable talent, which is exactly how I define Saralee Franchi, immeasureable talent.

I suppose I'll start from the beginning. In looking for a wedding planner I contacted a handful of people who looked as though they would fit our vibe. Some were unresponsive, some were cold and then there was Sonia. I sent her an email and I received a call from her first thing the next morning - the only planner to actually call me rather than just email me back. She immediately exuded warmth and KNOWLEDGE. She started answering questions I had in my head that didn't even realized I was thinking. We booked her upon our first meeting.
Sonia is impressively organized, enthusiastic and connected. We booked every vendor based on her recommendations and were thoroughly satisfied with each and every one. When asked by our officiant who our planner was, upon hearing it was Sonia, he sighed with relief, "you've got the best", he said.
Did I mention that she was 8 1/2 months pregnant on the day of? Sonia kicks ass and does it with a genuine smile on her face. She's passionate about her industry and her company and it shows. We had a full production of a wedding. Everything from the forks to the furniture had to be sourced, brought in (and taken out) and all was done so with grace and serious precision. Sara-Lee was also on had the day of, and displayed the same kindness and professionalism that I had come to expect from XOXO Bride. Hire them, I tell you! They are the real deal.

Sonia is a wonderful person and professional to work with! We immediately clicked on our vision and she was so easy to work with through planning our wedding (which was no small feat given that we had to bring EVERYTHING to our site from bathrooms to flowers). She was easy to get in touch with, on top of her game, and covered ALL the bases! She definitely knows what she's doing :)

I would very highly recommend Saralee at XOXO bride for any event. I can't even begin to say enough great things about her and how completely satisfied I was with her services. She went above and beyond in every aspect of my wedding and was available for all questions and advise at all times. The referrals and recommendations by her made my wedding so much more amazing than I ever had thought it could be. She handled situations that came up with our venue that I never found out about until after the wedding as to not stress out her bride :-) The day of was so carefree and enjoyable because she took care of all the many details and much much more! A wedding planned by Saralee will always be an amazing event.

We used Saralee at XOXO Bride because, as wedding photographers ourselves we knew she was the best. She took absolute care of the day and made it run as smooth as a baby's bottom. She is sweet, professional, fun, and organized like woah. Honestly we could not have done it without her. Go hire these ladies now! You will not regret it!

Working with Sonia Hopkins from XOXO Bride was an absolute joy! We happened to bump into her while checking out my wedding venue and she immediately began giving us awesome ideas and extremely valuable tips. We decided right then to find out if she was available for my wedding date. My wedding was a perfect dream come true and it would not have been so if it weren't for Sonia. She always listened so well and really understood our vision. Her knowledge and experience is invaluable and her taste is always impeccable! Not one thing went wrong the day of (or if it did, I never knew about it :) ). I had such a peace of mind knowing that we were in such good hands with Sonia. She is absolutely wonderful!

I have nothing but the best experience with XOXO Bride. Sonia has been my rock through the entire planning process. She is on point, extremely organized, reliable, full of creative ideas and always go above and beyond! Working with her for a year has not only made me appreciate the value of her skills but I have also learned from her. If I could give her 10 stars, I would! Sonia is absolutely amazing at what she does and you can count on her to deliver! She far exceeded my expectations and I hope you will have the pleasure of working with her!

Saralee knew everything there is to know for your perfect day. It was the best money we spent on the wedding, truly. I would have never been on time for anything nor would the flow of my day gone smooth. Saralee went above and beyond her requirements, even sharing some of her own personal inventory to decorate my tables for the reception. My husband and I agree that our wedding would not have been what it was with out her. My advice to all future brides out there, hire a wedding coordinator! I didn't do it until the final month, I had no idea a month of coordinator even existed! You get to a point where you think you can do it all, and it's best you hire a professional like Saralee and have her take care of it all and you enjoy your day. It would be wise to have one from the very start, it's worth the money. I cannot thank Saralee enough for her hard work and patience, making our day truly the most memorable day of our lives.

Sonia made our wedding absolutely beautiful! I do not know what we would have done without her. When we started planning our wedding we interviewed several coordinators but Sonia was the only one that was both warm and friendly but open and responsive to our idea and vision. She not only listened closely too what we wanted for our special day but she also guided with respect to vendors and design which was so helpful. You are lucky to be able to book Sonia, both my husband and I are so happy with our wedding and the execution led by Sonia and her team.

I can't say enough positive things about Sonia Hopkins and the team at XOXO Bride. She made planning a wedding not only manageable but fun! Sonia is extremely organized, responsive to any questions or requests but also very calm and reassuring. Everyone loved working with her including opinionated family members! Our wedding was the most memorable day and an event that we couldn't have gone more smoothly. We owe it all to XOXO for keeping everyone on track and all vendors organized. Sonia and her team are knowledgeable, well connected in the industry, creative, friendly, fun and organized. I would recommend them to any bride or family looking to take the burden of all the minute details that planning a wedding entails off their plate and confidently into someone else hands! Thank you to the entire XOXO team for making our wedding even more amazing!

You must get Saralee from XOXO as your wedding coordinator! Our vendor required us to have a Day Of Coordinator and one they recommended was XOXO Bride. We quickly had a meeting with Sonia and Saralee and from the beginning we knew we were picking an exquisite team. I can't praise her enough for everything she did before, during, and after our wedding. She helped with everything from the rehearsal, to the setting up of our tables, centerpieces, cake area (she even picked up our cake), 100+ placecards in wine corks, displaying BM bouquets, setting up ceremony props, etc etc. She worked with all our vendors as well. Her attention to detail was superb and her overall wedding knowledge was extremely appreciated!! And she did it all calmly with a smile on her face. What a relief! I wasn't nervous or crazy one bit on my Big Day because I knew Saralee had it all under control. My wedding party really appreciated that too;) She even packed everything up that night and made sure everything left with someone in particular. I can't imagine what we would have done without her! Amazing.

I can not say enough about Sonia. She was a GODSEND. From the first day, I knew she was worth every dime we paid her.
She is organized, creative, kind, and super easy to talk to. I always felt like my opinions were valid and that she was working hard to stay within our budget and make me happy. Sonia was willing to be there every step of the way and went above and beyond what she had to. I honestly don't know how I would've held it all together without her.
On the day of the wedding we got to meet the rest of her staff, who were also wonderful. My wedding and the planning process was incredibly smooth and I know this can be attributed to her.
I could not have asked for a more wonderful wedding planner.
If you want a fabulous wedding without too much stress, HIRE XOXO Bride!
