If there’s one thing that brings everyone in our house together, it’s music. Whether we’re just hanging out listening to our favorite songs, or having an all-out family sing-along, music seems to play a huge role in almost everything we do as a family and honestly…I don't think we’d have it any other way. Since music is so much a part of our everyday lives, we always keep an eye out for products that make the music we love, that much more enjoyable and that’s exactly the case with one of our newest, but already favorite, brands…SOL REPUBLIC!If you’re familiar with SOL REPUBLIC, then you already know how awesome they are (they really are pretty kickass) and if you haven’t had the pleasure of trying out one of the many SOL REPUBLIC products, then I can’t wait to tell you why you have to check them out!
About SOL REPUBLIC
Founded in 2011, SOL REPUBLIC is a global consumer electronics company dedicated to enhancing people’s lives through better-sounding headphones and accessories. We are music fanatics who develop products from the ground up to make headphones that look, sound and feel unlike anything else in the market.
I’m just going to go ahead and vouch for the fact that their headphones and accessories, are definitely some of (if not the) best I’ve used. We recently had the chance to check out what I like to call, my little secret music weapon, but what’s more commonly referred to as DECK. “Deck is the only wireless speaker featuring 360° Full Sound, Super-Power Wireless Range and Heist Mode™, allowing up to 5 friends to pair at the same time and take turns controlling the music.” To say that DECK is cool, is probably the biggest understatement in history, because it’s freakin’ awesome times 100, but before I let you judge all of that for yourself, let me tell you a little more about this small, but crazy powerful speaker that will turn your love of music, into an experience you won’t soon forget!
Features of DECK
360° Full Sound: Seriously, even with the volume turned down, your music fills the room (and with it turned up, it fills the whole house), DECK is the perfect accessory for every outdoor BBQ and party you’ll ever need/want to have thanks to Outdoor Boost, as a matter of fact, you’ll look for reasons to have a BBQ just so you can show this off to your friends/family…bet!
Super Power Wireless: Up to 3x the standard wireless range, so you can connect your device from further away than before, this is especially perfect for lazy teenagers.
Speakerphone: DECK allows you to make all of your calls hands-free by moonlighting as the coolest speakerphone ever!
NFC/Bluetooth Pairing: Connect your devices with ease via NFC or Bluetooth.
Battery Life: Up to 10 hours of play time on a single charge means no electric
Stereo-Out: Connect DECK to any sound system (or daisy chain DECKS together for an unparalleled wall of sound) using the Stereo-Out jack. You can even connect old schools phones and music players with the Stereo-In jack so that you can use DECK no matter how not smart your phone is…you can even connect DECK to your car stereo…now that my friends is pretty stinkin’ cool!
Heist Mode: Undoubtedly the coolest feature of DECK! Up to 5 people can can pair (or connect) their devices to DECK at once and take turns controlling the music and playing DJ!
I definitely believe that seeing is believing so I made a little video of DECK in action…check it out!
Disclosure: I received DECK by SOL REPUBLIC to review…all opinions are 100% my own and were not influenced by any outside source! Honestly, I would have ended up buying DECK for myself anyway and told y’all all about it, because it seriously is just that damn cool!

I've never been much of a fan of scripted TV shows, but 2 Broke Girls was one of those shows that I loved the very first time I saw it. I don't know if it's the actress, or the storylines, (or maybe the horse) that make me like it as much as I do, but I do know that my Monday nights wouldn't be complete without it.
If you've never watched 2 Broke Girls, let me clue you in...
2 BROKE GIRLS is a comedy about the unlikely friendship that develops between two very different young women who meet waitressing at a diner in trendy Williamsburg, Brooklyn, and form a bond over their dream of one day owning their own successful cupcake business. Only one thing stands in their way – they’re broke. Sarcastic, street-smart Max Black met the sophisticated, school-smart Caroline Channing when the uptown trust fund princess was having a run of bad luck due to her father’s Wall Street scandal, which caused her to lose all her money and forced her to give waitressing a shot. At first, Max sees Caroline as an entitled rich girl, but she’s surprised to find that Caroline has as much substance as she does style. When Caroline discovers Max’s knack for baking amazing cupcakes, she visualizes a lucrative future for them and they begin to save money to reach their start-up money goal of $250,000. As the girls’ cupcake tally expands week-to-week, they become closer to their goal and to each other. At the diner they are surrounded by their offbeat, colorful “work family”: Oleg, an overly flirtatious cook; Earl, a hip 75-year-old cashier; Han, the eager-to-please owner of the diner; and Sophie, the girls’ outrageous upstairs neighbor. As Max and Caroline climb toward their goal, we see that their “smarts” plus their “hearts” might just be the recipe for success.
I must admit, every time I watch the show, I'm reminded of my own "broke girl" days as a twenty-something (before kids of course) just trying to make ends meet. I remember one particularly genius "get rich quick" idea my friend L and I had while working as sandwich artists at Subway. One day while closing up shop for the night, L and I decided that we could make double the money we already made if we started a "side business" where we babysat when we weren't working our regular jobs; both of us had experience, both of us loved kids and two babysitters are much better than one...right? Yeah, well, let's just say that we were in business for exactly 24 hours before we decided that babysitting, wasn't where it's at. We accidentally booked a babysitting job for a time that both of us were working, which meant that our boyfriends (who weren't as mature or responsible as we were) had to take on the job for us, by the time we finished paying them for taking on our job, we had $20 less than when we started, so our babysitting business was no more and we were back to making sandwiches and dreaming big.
Looking back on that time now, I had to laugh because as silly as it was, it was also a lot of fun, those years were the only years in my adult life before I had kids when I could actually be silly, not worry too much about money, and just be a twenty year old...ahhh, the good old days. Maybe that's one of the reasons why I love Max and Caroline as much as I do, they in one way or another, remind me of me and my friends at that age, maybe with a little bit more business sense (just a tad), but still very much like us.
If you don't currently watch 2 Broke Girls, I definitely recommend it, it's so worth the watch and if you currently watch the show, remember that 2 Broke Girls has moved to a NEW TIME - Mondays at 8:30/7:30 c on CBS.
