Q&A: What color walls go best with a light blue accent wall?

Sun, 06 Nov 2011 17:00:02 +0000

Question by star: What color walls go best with a light blue accent wall?
I painted a light blue accent wall in my living room, and can’t decide what color to paint the others. I thought tan, but now am thinking another shade of blue. The color on the accent wall is light blue, maybe a little blue green. Help!

Best answer:

Answer by Hellocurls22
Be brave and try browns. It will make your accent wall pop out. You don’t want to hide it, you want to highlighted. The whole point of an accent wall is to make it different than the others. If you stick with other shades of blue then pretty much you are going to blend it, so then there will be no point for an accent wall.

Brothers and Sisters Star Garrett Backstrom Celebrates His 16th Birthday with Farts Candy?

Brothers and Sisters Star Garrett Backstrom Celebrates His 16th Birthday with Farts Candy™

Bella Thorne and Garrett Backstrom – Leaked Steamy Photo July 2011

Irvine, CA (PRWEB) November 02, 2011

Actor Garrett Backstrom, an actor who has appeared in the television series Brothers and Sisters and will be in the upcoming Motel Life with Dakota Fanning celebrated his 16th birthday on October 22nd at Racer’s Edge Indoor Karting in Burbank, CA. Leaf Brands, LLC products, Farts Candy™, were on hand to provide refreshments.

Backstrom was born and raised in Colorado Springs, CO and was an 11-year gymnast and two-time state champion before arriving in CA two years ago to pursue acting. He has landed roles in two feature films and two television shows, as well as numerous commercials. Backstrom discovered his love for Farts Candy™ and Astro Pops® soda while attending a Leaf Brands™ gifting suite for the Emmy’s last month.

Farts Candy™ are flavorful chewy candy nuggets in all kinds of fruity flavors that are so fun they’ll make you laugh!™ The little bumpy, candy shell pieces with a nice, chewy texture, are a perfect candy to toss into your mouth any time you like, and have been compared to The Nestle Company’s Nerds® candies, but are reputed to be more chewy and flavorful.

Available in 1.25 ounce individual packs as well as in bulk, Farts Candy will be available in select retail stores in December and come in 12 flavors including a Fruiti Farts assortment, Sour Farts assortment, and 10 individual flavors: Pina Colada, Sour Watermelon, Sour Apple, Root Beer, Grape, Strawberry, Blue Raspberry, Black Cherry, Tangerine, and Lemonade.

Also in attendance at Backstrom’s celebration was his 13 year old girlfriend, Bella Thorne, who currently stars in the hit Disney show, Shake It Up. The couple caused a stir last July when a leaked steamy photo showed Bella and Garrett getting intimate with a hot and heavy kiss. Bella’s sister and brother and fellow actors Dani Thorne and Remy Thorne, as well as actors Dylan Sprayberry, Austin North, Sterling Beaumont, Olivia Holt, Jadin Gould, and Rachel G. Fox, were among others who were part of the festivities and indulged in Farts Candy™.

According to Leaf Brands CEO Ellia Kassoff, “Farts really resonates with kids of all ages because you can’t help but giggle and smile when you hear it. Kids love the name!” “The most important thing we started with was an amazing candy product that David Klein and his company developed; next we came-up with the great name.” Moreover, Kassoff added, “The candy colors are so vibrant; they invite you to taste all the different flavors.”

These juicy flavors will be packaged in 4 different varieties – Fruiti and Sour plus various single flavors and Small Farts™ and Natural Farts™.

Fruiti Farts Candy™: Mixed juicy little pieces of chewy goodness that will give you all the fruit flavors you crave.

Sour Farts Candy™: Intense, sour pieces that will make you pucker!

Small Farts Candy™:– Itty, bitty smaller candy pieces that look like sprinkles. Use them for cupcake toppings for that added oomph taste!

Natural Farts™ – Coming soon and will have both natural flavor and natural colors.

About Leaf Brands, LLC: The original LEAF Brands were started in the 1920′s. LEAF Brands, once the fourth largest candy producer in North America, brought candy classics such as Whoppers® and Jolly Rancher® to the marketplace. Members of the Leaf family have assembled together once again to revive the Leaf name and its famous image after the US division was sold to The Hershey Corporation in 1996 and left the United States. Products include Astro Pops®, Yummers!™, Farts™ and David’s Signature Beyond Gourmet™ products.

eco eggs? Announces the First 100% Renewable Easter Eggs for Egg Hunts

Sun, 06 Nov 2011 03:25:28 +0000

eco eggs™ Announces the First 100% Renewable Easter Eggs for Egg Hunts

Minneapolis, MN (PRWEB) November 02, 2011

eco eggs, an environmentally-friendly division of Maud Borup, a 104-year-old chocolate company, today announced the release of the first compostable plastic Easter eggs that can decompose in industrial compost in just weeks.

eco eggs are made in the USA and are plastic, just like traditional Easter eggs made in China, except they are made from corn starch instead of petroleum-based polymers, making them 100% renewable. eco eggs are non-toxic and durable so they can be stored and reused year after year.

“Easter eggs generate tons of emissions and landfill waste each year. By switching to eco eggs, we can greatly reduce our carbon footprint,” said Christine Lantinen, president of eco eggs. “Our hope is that everyone would consider using a renewable alternative that is safe for our kids and better for the planet.”

eco eggs are ideal for Easter egg hunts because they are larger than most standard-sized plastic eggs, measuring 3 inches by 2.25 inches. eco eggs are large enough to hold fun-size candy or a prize. The tight snapping closure ensures eggs will not separate easily if dropped. The eggs are sold in a multi-colored assortment of pink, yellow, green, blue and purple.

Patent-pending eco eggs can be purchased online at http://www.ecoeggs.com or at retail in packages of 12, 28, and 48 eggs. In addition, eco eggs can be purchased online in quantities of 1,000 at a bulk rate. Wholesale prices are available by contacting eco eggs at 1-866-678-6283, x702.

About eco eggs™

eco eggs is a green, environmentally-friendly division of Maud Borup, a Minnesota-based wholesale chocolate company specializing in gourmet food gifts. eco eggs is committed to making, distributing, and selling quality and safe plastic Easter eggs and Easter grass as well as other recycled paper products that reduce toxins and harmful emissions promoting positive global environmental impact. eco eggs was founded on business practices that respect employees, the environment, and the earth. http://www.ecoeggs.com or twitter.com/ecoeggsUSA or facebook.com/ecoeggsUSA
