WILLA HOLLAND EXITS ARROW

Hey O&G Fans, Willa Holland (Speedy ) exits CW's Arrow. Holland has appeared on all six of Arrows seasons and was a fan favorite. Co-showrunner Marc Guggenheim told TVLine that Holland's exit was at the actor's choice.

"By the end of Season 4, Willa had expressed a desire to reduce her episodic commitment to the show and that was sort of done in sort of conjunction with an indication that it was likely that she wouldn’t want to renew her contract past Season 6," Guggenheim said. "So, we’ve kind of known for a while that this was in the offing. We revisited it with Willa at the beginning of Season 6, and she indicated that she hadn’t changed her mind, that she was still interested in moving on. Guggenheim went on to say that he and the Arrow production team worked with Holland on her exit from the show.

On Thursday's episode of Arrow, Thea left Star City in search of any remaining Lazarus Pits - with Roy (played by Colton Haaynes) accompanying her on her quest. This brings an end ( not a permanent end ) to Thea character for now, but leaves it open for her return (if she chooses to). It also creates an interesting side story that could be visited in the future.

Guggenheim went on to say that he and the Arrow production team worked with Holland on her exit from the show.

"We talked about some requests she had for us in terms of how her episodes would be utilized and grouped, and at what point in the season she would be written out, and we accommodated her on all those fronts because, look, at the end of the day we love Willa and we love working with her. She’s done right by us and so we wanted to do right by her."

LICK A BUBBLE: Edible Bubbles

Hey O&G Fans, This years New York Toy Fair was amazing! So much to see and experience and so many great toys to bring to you. One stand out for me this year is  a company that produce an edible bubbles solution. As a kid many of us would play with bubbles (and some would try and catch the buubles in our mouth and eat them......... Guilty LOL) but the solution the bubbles were  made of were a bit harmful if you ingested to much of it.

Lick A Bubble is an actually edible bubble solution. Lick A Bubble was invented  by a pediatrician , allergist/immunologist and physician of science. it was created so that children and adults of all ages can experiment with different beverages to generate safe likable bubbles.

Just pour you favorite beverage in the Lick a bubble container with edible bubble solution in it to the designated fill line.Take a look at their youtube page:

Introducing Lick-A-Bubble™! Create and taste flavored bubbles! It's as simple as Add, Blow, & Taste. Add YOUR favorite beverage, the possibilities of flavors are endless! SOCIALS- Check us out on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Lickabubble/ Instagram @lickabubble: https://www.instagram.com/Lickabubble/ WHERE TO BUY- Get yours on Amazon: http://amzn.to/2BdZ3uB

After trying it out with a few different flavors, like fruit punch, grape, and Snapple apple, I have to say it was as advertised! Each bubble that came out tasted exactly like the flavor I added to the solution. This definitely a product children and adults will enjoy. 

You can purchase Lick a bubble at Amazon, Toys R Us, Walgreens, Kohls, and other retail stores. You can choose from the 2pk, 4pk or bubble machine. Check them out at lickabubble.com
