Have A Nutty Holiday

As far as the holidays are concerned, it is less than 2 months away. So with that in mind, what are you plans? What are you going to give away that is not hard on the pocket?

For the wise and generous givers of the Christmas season, you are most probably going to hit two aspects, health and affordability. Needs is another aspect of giving so why not hit the need of hunger that of which is food or snacks?

Now don’t just go out and buy the first satiable packaged good you come across. See which is economical and logical as far as people would appreciate as a whole. Take for example Diamond Foods.

Diamond Foods has kicked off a holiday contest on behalf of its signature nut brand, Diamond of California, to lure consumers as they search for healthier snack options.

Jennifer Hudson’s Reward for Naught

Tragedy after tragedy. Who knows what is going on in the mind of actress-singer Jennifer Hudson is going through these days. While she has offered a reward to whoever would be able to bring back her missing 7 year-old nephew, Julian King, it seems that these turn of events have made the whole effort futile.

The FBI have reportedly found an SUV containing the remains of a black male child was found around 7 a.m. The body has not yet been positively identified, facts point towards this body being Julian since the SUV matched the one sought in an Amber Alert issued after Hudson’s mother and brother were found slain last Friday.
