I Am A YesVideo Ambassador

My media for YesVideo

Today I begin a new adventure on BenSpark.com. I am an official Blog Ambassador to YesVideo. YesVideo is a service that converts your old movies, slides and photos into digital content on DVD. I like to think of them as memory protectors. To me YesVideo celebrates my memories by making them accessible again. Do you have a working 8mm projector? I certainly do not. However, I do have some great home videos from when I was a kid, when my parents were younger and those memories could be lost forever just because we can no longer experience them and see them.

In preparation for my becoming a YesVideo Ambassador I received a gift code to use with YesVideo to convert some of my media to DVDs. I went overboard and actually spent double what I was allotted and so I paid out the remainder. I sent in two 8mm reels, four VHS tapes and 96 slides. When the media returns to me I’ll be sharing what I sent and finally be able to relive some of those memories from my past.

Review: Disney Pirates of the Caribbean Costume Collection

Almost a couple of weeks ago I was offered the opportunity to try out some pirate costumes to celebrate the release of PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: ON STRANGER TIDES Available on Blu-ray 3D & Blu-ray Hi-Def Combo Pack! I jokingly asked my contact if they had a “pregnant serving wench” costume. And you know what, they did. Actually it is a Mommy to be Pirate costume. There was a fun, all black pirate costume for me and an adorable little buccaneer costume for Eva. While these were not costumes that looked like those from the characters of the movie they were actually pretty nice.

Mine came with a bandanna, belt, boot coverings, wrist gauntlets and a decent shirt. Allison’s came with pants w/boot covers, shirt w attached vest and hat. Eva’s came with Shirt w attached vest, Hat, headband, belt and boot covers. Other than Allison’s costume being a “One size fits all” that should probably have been a “one size fits many” the costumes fit pretty well.
