Dandelion Moms: Mom creates online community - Published on 11/26/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

A mom whose once-frail health triggered a journey to peace and well-being has started Dandelion Moms, an online community to help other moms seek balance & enjoy the journey of life. Award-winning children's author and publisher Melissa Northway, mom of an active 6-year-old, created Dandelion Moms after seeing the stresses that parenting can bring. Gift cards, a Lifedge iPad case, children's books, and a piece of Stella & Dot jewelry will be given away to celebrate the launch of Dandelion Moms.

Irvine, California - A mom whose once-frail health triggered a journey to peace and well-being has started Dandelion Moms, an online community to help other moms seek balance and enjoy the journey of life. Children's author and publisher Melissa Northway, mom of an active 6-year-old, created Dandelion Moms after seeing the stresses that parenting can bring.

"I see so many women running around trying to do it all. We juggle many hats, and many times, we miss the magical moments that surround us every day," said Northway, of Irvine, Ca. "We need to step back and take some time for ourselves. We need to take care of us, so we can take better care of our families."

More than $100 in gift cards, a Lifedge iPad case, children's books, and a piece of Stella and Dot jewelry will be given away to celebrate the launch of Dandelion Moms. To enter, visit their website by December 14th.

Dandelion Moms is a lifestyle website that provides gentle reminders about staying in the present. There is advice on love, health, beauty and relationships, and tips on creative projects, home decor and fun recipes. There are product reviews and giveaways, and interviews and features on programs that give back to the community, such as the Jet Blue/PBS Kids Soar With Reading Program.

The "Momism of the Day," an inspirational quote, provides gentle reminders about the magic of life. The "Reflection" section allows moms to share advice they would have told their younger self. Moms also are invited to join in the conversation by contributing blog posts on topics they feel strongly about. Coming soon is a "Wishes" section where moms can post a wish to share with the community, or keep private to "blow into the universe."

"The site also is a place to hang out and meet other women who have gone after their dreams and continue to be a loving mom, wife and friend," Northway said. "There are wonderful artists, photographers, writers and other inspirational moms on the site."

Coming in 2013 is a Mini Dandelions section for children, which will have a category for special-needs kids. "This is an unrepresented community that many families are part of," Northway said.

Northway has come a long way since an undiagnosed tropical illness left her ill and frail for three desperate years. She went on to start Polka Dots Publishing, writing stories for her young daughter inspired by strong female characters seeking adventure. She is the author of Penelope the Pirate and Gerry the Giraffe, both book apps for kids. Now she hopes to share her life lessons on Dandelion Moms.

"I wanted to bring what I had learned on the yoga mat, about staying present and in the moment, and share this mindset with other women because it really has changed me into a better person," Northway said. "A big part of the health and wellness section on the site will include posts about yoga, meditation and the benefits of walks on the beach or with friends to help us enjoy the journey."

Northway has had a crazy ride of a career, from teaching English in Japan to cycling across Vietnam to raise money for UNICEF. While traveling in the Far East, she contracted Tropical Sprue, a disease that took years of good nutrition to correct. It sent Northway on a path to study healthier living, and she recently earned a master's in nutrition from the University of Bridgeport.

"I want to be a good role model for my daughter and show her that it is okay to go after your dreams, even after you become a mom," Northway said. "One doesn't have to exclude the other."

Polka Dots Publishing was founded in Irvine, California, in 2010 by Melissa Northway.

The ebook was created by PicPocket Books, who bring quality children's picture books to digital media. Copyright (C) 2012 Melissa Northway. All Rights Reserved.

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

CAZE, the leader in ultra thin case, has announced its new ThinEdge for iPhone 5, the world's slimmest frame case, measuring just 1 millimeters. Constructed of lightweight, hard-shell plastic, the ThinEdge frame case offers sleek and stylish protection for the iPhone 5 and comes with two different colored fasteners for you to personalize your iPhone. Designed as the ultimate balance between case-minimalism and protection, this case is available to order on Cyber Monday at 20% off.

Hong Kong - CAZE, the leader in ultra thin case, has announced its new ThinEdge bumper for iPhone 5, the world's slimmest frame case, measuring just 1 millimeters. Constructed of lightweight, hard-shell plastic, ThinEdge frame case offers sleek and stylish protection for the iPhone 5 and comes with two different colored fasteners for you to personalize your iPhone. Designed as the ultimate balance between case-minimalism and protection, the ThineEdge wraps the edges and corners to cushion and protect and keeps the front and back of the iPhone 5 from coming into direct contact with flat surfaces when laid down.

ThineEdge adds just a millimeter in thickness to the sides of the iPhone 5. It fits tightly around the edges of the iPhone 5 and protects its screen and back by protruding slightly above the front screen glass & aluminum back. The result leaves the back and front of the iPhone 5 fully exposed visually, but shielded against scratches. ThinEdge is made of GRILAMID(R) TR-90 so it is lightweight, tough, flexible, shatterproof and resistant to UV damage. Each frame case comes with two different colored fasteners for personalizing the iPhone 5.

The weight of ThinEdge is just 6 grams so you can barely notice the change of the thickness and weight after putting on such as a slim case on your iPhone 5. ThineEdge is easy to install. Its anti-slip property gives the iPhone 5 more grip on surfaces. Easy access to all phone functions without having to remove the case. It has complete access to all the main ports and buttons of the device. Charging has also never been easy since you do not have to remove the case.

To ensure all-around protection, the ThinEdge comes with a free screen protection kit (front & back film) for added shield.

To show off more of the new iPhone design with the minimal case design while protecting your iPhone 5 from shocks and impacts, you may consider buying this slim bumper at iphonecaze official website on Cyber Monday to enjoy *20% off your order with code 202010cyber. Colors obtainable for now are clear, black, white, orange, silver and pink. Aside from the frame case, you will get a front and back screen protectors, a microfiber cloth and a wallet size iPhone stand. * This offer is only available at iPhone CAZE official website through 12/3/12.

Fireplace HD+ Gets Crackling For Christmas - Published on 11/26/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

UK based app developer, Rory Buckley today announces Fireplace HD+ 1.1 an update to his holiday themed relaxation app developed for iPad, iPhone and iPod touch. Fireplace HD+ acts as a HD virtual fireplace that comes with a selection of audio and visual customisable options. Play built-in Christmas audio or listen to the Christmas radio stream. This update compliments & progresses the app forward into the fast approaching holiday season, where the virtual fireplace is at its most popular.

Tavistock, United Kingdom - App developer Rory Buckley is happy to announce the recent version update release of Fireplace HD+ 1.1 for iPad, iPhone and iPod touch. This update compliments and progresses the app forward into the fast approaching holiday season, where the virtual fireplace is at its most popular.

Fireplace HD+ brings many characteristics of a typical Yule Log Christmas fireplace. The app was originally inspired by the original Yule Log TV channel which brought many cosy Christmas comforts with it's visually warm appearance and seasonal music. This festive comfort is carried forward in the app, as the user has the ability to either play built-in Christmas audio or listen to the Christmas radio stream (while still watching & experiencing the soothing crackle of the fireplace).

While many consider the typical 'fake' fireplace app to offer little but silly entertainment, Fireplace HD+ has been developed to offer a lot more. The vision that Rory Buckley had, was to fuse a combination of light entertainment and mix in an element of a typical relaxation app, not forgetting the extra appeal that such an app would have over the holiday season.

Noteworthy highlights in this version update include the addition of two more fireplace scenes, one being a glowing log fire and the other being a more modern romantic scene. The app has also been optimized for the iPhone 5's stunning display and works perfectly when mirrored via airplay for those who have Apple TV. Radio support also is now offered to iPhone and iPod touch users (along with iPad users), this requires a data connection.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad
* Requires iOS 4.3 or later
* 85.4 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Fireplace HD+ 1.1 is only $0.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Entertainment category.
