Despicable Me 3 Kids Movie Zumba Remix to Tune of Tiki Tiki Babeloo

Fitness & Dancing

Zumba, Despicable Me 3 Collaborate

This is too F-U-N and cute not to share with Mommy Blog Expert's mom and dad readers who love Zumba and/or who have children excited about all things Minions and the upcoming new 3D animated movie Despicable Me 3 by Illumination Entertainment from Universal Pictures. 

Heck, you might even be a parent who has been a serious Despicable Me fan since the first film in the sequence was released seven years ago. So, in this MBE post I couldn't be more thrilled to tell you about some exciting breaking news. As well as give you the opportunity to watch well-known Zumba instructor Toni Costa and those adorable Minions rocking and exercising to the beat, bringing real life dance action to the movie's original song Tiki Tiki Babeloo (Zumba Remix).

To get kids off the couch as well as inspire moms and dads to engage with their kids in a meaningful and healthy way in the name of fun, music, dancing and fitness, The Minions and Zumba have joined together with Universal Pictures. The collaboration has resulted in some original super cool choreography to go along with the song from the movie. 

Just watching this video will likely energize you...




The original song Tiki Tiki Babeloo (Zumba Remix) was produced by Grammy-award winning producer Ricky Luna (La Habana, The Fate of the Furious soundtrack). The wonderfully choreographed routine features Spanish dancer and Zumba instructor Toni Costa who helped created the super fast and lively steps for this lively song.

You can experience this spirited dance exercise routine yourself only at a Zumba class location near you. Or if you'd rather, download the song on ZIN Now!

Pearls Summer Jewelry Fashion Trend for Celebrities, Every Day Women

Style

MBE partnered with The Pearl Source for this post

Pearl Jewelry Always on Trend for Spring & Summer

Look around at the pearl jewelry now favored by royals and celebrities: Princess Kate, Michelle Obama, Beyonce, Ellen DeGeneres, Sarah Jessica Parker, Kris Jenner, Angelina Jolie and Keira Knightly, to name just a few. Picking up on that red carpet trend, stylish females of average means of every generation are looking equally glamorous accessorizing with pearls. 

From pre-teens, teens and 20 somethings, to middle age and older ladies, gals of every age are mesmerized by the pearl renaissance currently sweeping the fashion world. As I discovered first-hand, there's good reason why those celebrity stylists are gravitating toward pearl earrings, necklaces, bracelets and other accessories for their clients. That's because pearls are so versatile, easy to style, and just about everyone seems to love them. 

For example, when I wore the beautiful featured 8 mm Pink Freshwater Pearl Stud Earrings $99 ($419 retail price) from The Pearl Source to a semi-dressy Beverly Hills society benefit garden party, they garnered more compliments than I could count.  

These simple but elegant beautifully-boxed earrings, with very high luster and pink/lavender natural color, come with a choice of 14K white or 14K yellow gold stud backings. A stunning matching Pink Freshwater Pearl Necklace is also offered for $189 ($749 retail price).  

I've since worn these pearl earrings again for formal occasions like a traditional wedding as well as with my favorite vintage denim jacket for a movie date night with my hubby with similar results. As I write this post, my mind is rushing with still more ideas of other outfits with which I can wear this gorgeous jewelry.

The beauty of pearls is they can be truly styled and built around your own personal look -- from classic to edgy for all kinds of occasions casual, work, and dressy. These natural gems from the sea are also now being offered in a constantly growing array of colors and shades with an equally eclectic range of settings in metal, leather and other modern embellishing materials which continues to evolve and grow.

Surprisingly, if you educate yourself about pearl shopping, quality pearls can also be quite an affordable investment in your wardrobe resulting in years of enjoyment. In fact, if your experience is anything like mine has been, you won't just limit these lovely jewels to summer, you'll want to wear your pearls during every other season throughout the year, too.
