Allexxis Allen: Dancing Imaginista

Have you ever looked around you and wished there was something you could do
to help those in need? Nine year old Allexxis Allen not only looked, but
felt she needed to act by helping those less fortunate orphaned children,
abandoned/abused children, those in need of education, and many, many more.
With the help of her Mom, Monique Allen, she followed her philanthropic lead
and Dancing for a Difference was born. Lexxie was born in Los Angeles,
California and lives in the South Bay beach community.  Dancing is her
biggest joy!  She's been dancing since age two and was recently accepted to
the famed Debbie Allen Dance Academy. Last year she created her own dance
bag line, Bags too Riches, based on ideas she saw at Los Angeles Gift Show
the money she makes from Bags Too Riches is donated to The Debbie Allen
Dance Academy.  She is involved in the local Girl Scouts troop.  Reading
difficulties and subsequent aggressive studying have not stopped this little
girl from reaching out and making her dreams come true. She's very
resilient, always keeps her head held high and believes in dancing through
life! Dancing for a Difference is a dance project that organizes kids from
all backgrounds who have a love for dance.  An open competition is held
creating an amazing opportunity to dance without the associated financial
burdens such as tuition costs, private instruction and costume fees.  This
not only produces a great show for the general public (at a nominal charge)
but all profits are donated to great causes such as The Hands and Feet
Children's Village (an orphanage in Haiti), Shoes 2 Share (an organization
that puts shoes on the feet of children all over the world), and more. She
also receives donations' of used dance shoes from the local dance studios';
next she will clean and wash the shoes and donate them to inter-city dance
studios. Lexxie always inspires her friends and family to dance their way
through life instead of letting circumstances get you down. For additional
information about any of Lexxie Allen's projects (or to make tax deductible
contributions), contact Lexxie or Monique Allen at Bagstooriches at tvstar.com

I love this little guy because it is so... well... little! A very sleek,
multi-talented (and multi-tasking) pedometer, this gadget uses the same
motion technology of a Nintendo Wii to "measure the intensity and duration
of your physical activities, calories burned, steps taken, distance
traveled, how long it took you to fall asleep, the number of times you woke
up throughout the night and how long you were actually asleep vs just lying
in bed." You're either going to be AMAZED by this gizmo's abilities.

This thing just LOOKS cool, doesn't it? What's it do? Well it's "an
electronic coaching device that uses programmed narration, rhythm and music
to help improve your walking, jogging, or running exercise routines." One of
the coolest parts is that you can upload your fav mp3's so you can listen
while you work! It hooks comfortably over your ears, just like headphones,
and comes with a heart rate sensor. What more do you need?? So if you're
looking for someone - or something - to keep you engaged with your workouts,
don't miss this gizmo.

Note about Car Seat Covers

All parents should check with the child seat manufacturer before placing
anything under a child in a car seat.  Aftermarket items are not tested by
the seat manufacturers and may void the car seat warranty, not to mention
the litigation aspects if the child is injured (or worse) in a crash.  The
car seat manufacturer can point blame for the injury on the untested
addition to the seat and the aftermarket company points blame at the seat
manufacturer.
