Global Broadcast: "He Named Me Malala" This Coming Monday, Feb. 29th! (Giveaway attached) #withMalala @NatGeoChannel @21C


You might have heard about Malala, a girl who survived being shot by the Taliban for wanting to get an education. You probably have even heard of the book that she wrote or the movie about her. You might even know that she is a Nobel Peace Prize winner. 

Now comes her story to television. The global broadcast premier will be on the National Geographic channel this coming Monday, Feb. 29th. at 8PM EST/7PMCST.





ABOUT THE MOVIE:

HE NAMED ME MALALA is an intimate portrait of Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Malala Yousafzai, who was targeted by the Taliban and severely wounded by a gunshot when returning home on her school bus in Pakistan’s Swat Valley. The then 15-year-old was singled out, along with her father, for advocating for girls’ education, and the attack on her sparked an outcry from supporters around the world. She miraculously survived and is now a leading campaigner for girls’ education globally as co-founder of the Malala Fund.

Acclaimed documentary filmmaker Davis Guggenheim (An Inconvenient Truth, Waiting for Superman) shows us how Malala, her father Zia and her family are committed to fighting for education for all girls worldwide. The film gives us an inside glimpse into this extraordinary young girl’s life – from her close relationship with her father who inspired her love for education, to her impassioned speeches at the UN, to her everyday life with her parents and brothers.




Join me and others as we watch this brave young lady stand up for the education of girls.

Skip The Grocery Store Flavored Waters-Make Your Own! #FruitInfusion #Review



I absolutely like this pitcher! It is an ordinary pitcher, oh no! It is a Fruit Infusion Pitcher, so ordinary is out the door. What is the difference you say? Well, it is that center core. My husband and I decided to add cantaloupe to our pitcher because that is what we had on hand. As it turned out, we found a recipe for cantaloupe flavored water in the companion book I own too.


We let the pitcher sit in the fridge for at least two hours which is what the company recommends (for the record they recommend anywhere between 1-12 hours). We poured our water into glasses and got a mild flavor filled water. It was nice and refreshing.

I will say the longer the water sat in the fridge, the more flavorful it got, this is a big key to getting the full flavor of the fruit. I was able to put a large amount of chunked fruit into the core and the slots allowed for the flavor of the cantaloupe to seep in.

The lid of the pitcher stayed tight but I do caution to not try to turn it when opening it or you could possibly break it which would render the infuser useless. Just turn the lid gently and it will come off.

I like the clearness of the pitcher too because you can see exactly what you are getting.
Note: when filling the pitcher, do not fill it all the way to the top because the infuser will cause water to spill out.


Skip getting store bought waters and make your own. This is a winner for me!
