![]() How big and dark and cold my bedroom felt. How Bingo insists she wants to do “a big girl sleep,” waking up in her own bed. How Bingo says goodbye to Floppy knowing she’ll be alone now. How loving something means sometimes having to let it go. It’s the bravery and loyalty Bingo shows the bunny. Like when Bingo gives Floppy her blessing to join her other stuffed bunny kin orbiting Saturn in a super cuddly ring (I know, I know, what the hell? But I am, after all, describing the dream of a cartoon dog). It’s also how it captures moments of playfulness and wonder, but it’s so earnest, too. A music box lullaby transforming into a rich orchestral soundscape that captures the immensity of Bingo’s dream as she roams the solar system in the company of her stuffed bunny, Floppy. What is it about “Sleepytime”? Well, the animation for starters it’s visually beautiful and surreal. (Before you get too impressed with my knowledge of classical music, know that I had to do some Googling to find out what I was listening to, just like the uninformed peasant that I am). Even without watching the actual show, the music (excerpts from Gustav Holst’s “Jupiter,” “Venus” and “Saturn”) brings tears to my eyes. It always makes me cry and it weirds the kids out and anyway I’m too tired for tears right now. He eventually curls up on the floor, tossing a pair of his own underpants across his shoulders for warmth.Įven though this is my favorite episode of “Bluey,” I don’t go downstairs to watch it. ![]() There’s a fantastic sequence in which Bandit gets evicted from his bed after being pummeled by his unconscious children as they run and skip through their own subconsciouses (subconscious-i?)- Bandit’s body serving as a moon-like surface they bound across. And if it is their own bed, chances are they’re not getting enough covers or there’s too much unwanted physical contact. Even when everyone is in a bed, chances are it’s not their own bed. There’s a ceaseless back and forth between the kids’ room and the parent’s room. ![]() Here’s an excerpt:ĭespite the kids having been tucked in for the night, nobody really gets to sleep. Which brings us back to “Sleepytime,” an episode that perfectly captures the long nights of early parenthood. And it never shies away from big feelings and tender, earnest humanity (albeit in dog form). ![]() “Bluey” always leads with imagination, humor, and relatable life situations. Any episode where Bluey and Bingo pretend to be their Grannie alter egos Rita and Janet is highly amusing. There’s an entire episode focused on Bluey and Bingo trying not to let a balloon touch the ground for a game called Keepy Uppy. Waiting for take out (or, “Takeaway,” rather). A visit to the local home improvement store (it’s called the Hammerbarn – if you’ve been into a Lowes or a Home Depot, it’s the animated version of that). The show focuses on these pockets of everyday experience. We watch a lot of “Bluey” around here, which is easy to do because each episode is less than 10 minutes long. And don’t even get me started on the the stained glass transoms! The alpine-inspired cutouts over the doorways? Whimsical. The mid-century modern light fixture in their living room? The coolest. Like, I’ve never watched an animated show in which I’ve coveted the animated furnishings (except for maybe Peppa Pig’s camper van, which could double as a mobile she shed that I could disappear into whenever the members of my household got too loud or demanding), but I would legit Pin-terest their whole house if I could. They are very imaginative and their parents Bandit and Chili are the type of parents you’d want to be friends with and aspire to be more like as a human. If you, like any reasonable adult who does not have a preschool-aged child in their household, have never heard of “Bluey,” here’s the rundown: “Bluey” is a cartoon on Disney+ about a family of Australian Cattle Dogs who also conveniently live in Australia and eat things like “brekkie” (breakfast) and become indignant when other pups aren’t “playing properly.” Annie now informs me that I’m “not playing properly,” when I’m not playing exactly the way she wants me to, which makes her very difficult to take seriously and also makes me feel a little bit shamed for both not playing “properly” and also not talking fancily. Then the show splits into two points of view: Bingo swimming through space and the rest of the Heeler household (Bluey, Chili, and dad, Bandit) as they struggle to find sleep and stay asleep. The story follows Bingo as she falls asleep and hatches out of an Earth-shaped egg shell into a surreal galactic dreamscape. I’m upstairs and the kids are downstairs watching “Bluey.” I can tell from the music that it’s the episode called “Sleepytime” in which Bluey’s mom, Chili, tucks in Bluey’s little sister Bingo for the night after reading her a book about the solar system. ![]() □ - Feature is completely free without limitation, even after trial ![]() For a more detailed list and comparison to an alternative, click here.

"I personally like a moisturizing fuller-coverage concealer, as it can be sheered down or built up depending on your concerns," says Sesnek. Like foundation, concealers offer different finishes, including matte, radiant, natural, and soft, as well as varying levels of coverage (sheer, medium, and full). For instance, if you have olive skin, your foundation might have neutral undertones, while your concealer may have peach undertones to correct for dark circles. However, celebrity makeup artist Robert Sesnek says, "If you're using concealer for blemishes, I recommend matching it to your foundation."Ĭelebrity makeup artist Erika La' Pearl adds, "With the right shade of concealer-undertones are also super important when picking the right shade-along with your perfect foundation match, you can really achieve that seamless look."ĭepending on what you're trying to achieve, the undertone for your concealer might be different than your foundation.

Generally, the shorter the “Chain”, the faster the body can turn the fatty acids into ketones and the easier it is for the body to digest and burn instantly. To better define MCTs ― medium literally describes the length of each molecule (each molecule is about 6 to 12 carbon atoms long) and Triglycerides, also known as blood lipids, are the fat in your bloodstream. Rapid Fire’s formula is rich in the important medium chain triglycerides Caproic Acid (C6), Caprylic Acid (C8), Capric Acid (C10) and Lauric Acid (C12). MCT oils are extracted from natural resources through a process called fractionation, which separates the lipids. MCT oil is an amazing and smooth tasting whole food product with a wide range of health benefits. Whether you are on a ketogenic diet or not, you can enjoy Rapid Fire to promote a healthy lifestyle. Ketones or ketogenic ingredients are consumed and used by the body as fuel for the brain, heart and muscles. After approximately a week on the ketogenic diet with the help of MCT oil consumption, the body’s metabolism shifts from burning glucose to burning fatty acids, which may naturally help, achieve and maintain a state of ketosis in the body. Ketones are more readily generated in a ketogenic diet (KD) which is characterized by high fat, moderate protein, low carbohydrate (~75:20:5), or from ketogenic supplements. Our bodies can make ketones from stored fat or from MCTs. Ketones are non-carbohydrate energy molecules that are converted from fatty acids in the body. However, too much sugar, starches and proteins can have adverse effects on the body. ![]() Most people burn glucose because they are supplying a steady form of sugar, starches and proteins that are converted into blood sugar. The body has two major energy sources – it burns glucose or ketones. Without an adequate amount of glucose from carbs, your body begins breaking down fat for energy, a remarkable weight loss mechanism known as “ketosis.” This popular diet regimen limits carbohydrate intake in order to stimulate your body’s natural ability to use energy it has stored as a reserve (body fat). Rapid Fire MCT Oil offers a delicious and nutritious addition to your beverage. To take advantage of this major fatty acid, simply mix it with your favorite hot or cold beverage, such as coffee or smoothies. MCT oil has been shown to promote satiety, which may decrease your appetite, jump-start your metabolism, and provide sustained and natural energy. When your metabolism speeds up, your cells will function more efficiently, which may also boost your immune system. It thereby may reduce the need for carbohydrates for energy, which can help deter carb cravings, plus it helps promote the burning of body fat for additional energy. Unlike other saturated fats that are stored in the body, MCT oil is quickly broken down into fuel, in the form of ketones to provide an energy source for both your brain and muscles. MCTs (Medium Chain Triglycerides) are a saturated fat that can play an important part of a nutritious diet. This unique process allows it to metabolize into the body for easy digestion. It is carefully blended to ensure concentrated medium chain triglycerides. No chemicals or solvents are utilized in the extraction of this premium MCT oil. Our MCT Oil is derived only from pure coconut oil, unlike other MCT oils. Rapid Fire MCT Oil is colorless and unflavored.

In this situation, you should be able to win at least three rounds and maybe even four or five-especially if your partner has a lot of spades. There's another scenario where you might want to play a hand with no spades: if you're holding all the aces. Someone might not want to exercise this right because having zero spades in your hands is an excellent opportunity to try for a nil bid. Players aren't required to declare a misdeal. In fact, there's no limit to the number of times you can use it. If subsequent hands result in zero spades, a team can exercise this option again. The other team isn't allowed to challenge the decision. If a team chooses this option, the dealer reshuffles the cards and deals them out again. However, it must be done before the team announces its bid. If a player wants to exercise this right, they must reveal their cards so that the others can see for themselves. Because having no spades could put a player at a disadvantage, they have a right to declare that their hand is deficient. A spadeless hand could mean the dealer didn't thoroughly shuffle the cards. If there's more than one card, the entire hand is declared a misdeal, meaning all cards must be redealt.Īnother way cards can be misdealt is through a “deficient hand,” which is a starting hand with no spades. If it's only a single card and is uncovered before players have a chance to look at their other cards, the player who's missing a card takes one from the person with an extra one without looking at it. In that case, it's considered a misdeal and must be corrected. Let's say the dealer botches their job by not distributing the same number of cards to each player. If you don't have time to play a long game, set the winning points to 200. That's because a team that accumulates 10 bags gets 100 points deducted from their score. Overtricks (tricks won over the bid amount) are called "bags," and they're worth one point. If a player is successful with either type, they receive a bonus of 100 points. There's also blind bidding, where players bid without looking at their cards. Nil and Blind BiddingĪ nil bid is when a player declares their intention to not win a single round. However, if you bid seven and only won five tricks, your score is -70. If you bid six and won nine tricks, the score for the round would be 63-60 points for the bid and three points for the overtricks. If your team doesn't make its bid, you lose 10 times your bid's value.įor example, if your team bid four and won four tricks, your score is 40. Overtricks (tricks you win over your bid amount) are worth one point each. If your team meets its bid, you get 10 points for each winning trick. Players can rotate as dealer instead of making the winner of the round the dealer. ![]() Whoever wins the round goes first on the next turn and takes over as dealer. If you only have spades in your hand, you can lead with this suit. If players play more than one spade, the winner is the one with the highest-ranking spade. If they can't, they can put any card in play-even if it's a spade. The player going first puts any card except a spade on the table. Unlike other games with bidding, bids don't need to be higher than the last one. Players can't pass, and there's no second round of bidding. Once you make a bid, you can't change your mind. However, spades trump all other cards.īid higher if you're swimming in spades or higher-ranked cards. Total up your and your partner's bids to see how many tricks you must take so you don't lose points.Ī player wins a trick by getting the highest card that matches the suit of the first card that was played. Bids must be between 0 and 13, and the person to the dealer's left gets to go first. The most popular arrangement is by suits.Įach player looks at their hand and bids how many tricks they think they can rack up. The players pick up their cards and arrange them any way they'd like. Once a card leaves a player's hand, they can't undo the move unless they correct their mistake before the next person puts a card down. ![]() The deal proceeds in a clockwise fashion. ![]() The dealer hands out 13 cards one at a time, starting with the person on the dealer's left. After the dealer thoroughly shuffles the cards, the person sitting to the dealer's right cuts the deck. The person with the high card gets the job. Choose who'll be the dealer by having everyone randomly select a card. Grab a deck of 52 cards and remove the jokers.
