Check out the Hottest items during the Best Buy August Audio Fest

Disclosure: The reviewer has been compensated in the form of a Best Buy Gift Card and/or received the product/service at a reduced price or for free.

Best Buy August Audio FestWhenever my family is looking for the best in tech items, Best Buy is the first place we head. Did you know that Best Buy is gathering some of the best offers on the best audio products throughout the entire month of August? The August Audio Fest is taking place across all Best Buy stores and beginning 8/3/14 – 8/30/14 Best Buy will feature one month of deals, audio specials, events and more.

Best Buy August Audio FestDuring this time, visit a Best Buy store to test and try the latest and greatest in audio – from Bluetooth speakers and headphones to home theater solutions and car audio. I decided to try out two items that will be a part of the August Audio Fest and share my thoughts with you.

The JBL Reflect Sport Headphones

Best Buy August Audio FestI feel like I need to preface this review by sharing that I have 3 teens in my house. They ALL wanted these headphones. When we were testing the headphones, it was immediately apparent that these were a quality item. They are highly comparable to other high end in ear workout headphones. My teens tell me they are better than some of the other brands they have and use often. The sound is crystal clear, no vibration or sound alterations in bass or acoustics. These are a true, in ear headphone and they are one of the few that stay in your ears thanks to the patented ear tips and they are noise cancelling as well. If you have these in, you can’t hear anything else around you and you don’t even need to turn the volume high to achieve this. What I love is the different sized ear tips to provide a perfect and comfortable fit. I have tiny ears and almost every in ear headphone is impossible for me to wear, and they are ridiculously hard to keep in. I didn’t have that problem with these at all!

Best Buy August Audio FestHere’s some of our favorite features that make these a winner:

  • the cord is flat and tangle free
  • it has a highly reflective cable for night use
  • inline remote plus microphone
  • the volume control
  • angled, ergonomic ear tips provide a secure fit
  • magnetic cable management
  • clip on the wire
  • extension cable

Best Buy August Audio FestThe headphones show on the front that they are made for Apple products, such as iPhone, iPod and iPad. This just means that they have been designed to connect specifically with these products and has been certified by the developer to meet Apple standards. However, they do work with android phones and tablets as well.

Here’s how JBL describes these Reflect Sport Headphones:

“Sport headphones from JBL to drive you closer to your goals. The ultimate workout partner, the Reflect combines cutting-edge style with innovative features. Providing legendary sound in a workout-ready headphones design, it puts you well on your way to achieving your athletic goals. Designed to stay secure in your ears, these ergonomic, stay-put ear-buds are engineered to withstand the rigors of your most energetic workout, delivering on the soundtrack to push you to drive harder.”

Best Buy August Audio FestIt looks like I’m going to have to take advantage of this special August pricing to buy a few more of these for my teens!

The JBL Clip Portable Bluetooth Speaker

Best Buy August Audio FestCan I just say how shocked I was at the sound that comes from this little thing? This fun speaker fits in the palm of your hand and has a cute little clip at the top that you can use to put the speaker on a purse, backpack, laptop bag or even a belt loop. But don’t let the cute size and pretty blue color fool you, this speaker performs beautifully.

Best Buy August Audio FestYou can turn the sound all the way up and there’s no distortion, the sound is clear and precise with no surprises. I’d take this camping or boating for portable sound out of a small package for a fun time with friends. I like that you can connect either through Bluetooth or with a cord directly to your phone or tablet. You can also answer calls with the speaker and there’s a microphone built in! The speaker charges with the USB cord that comes with it, and it seems like it holds that charge forever!

Best Buy August Audio Fest

Here’ how JBL describes the Clip Portable Bluetooth Speaker:

“With Bluetooth technology, this JBL Clip speaker enables wireless music streaming and phone calls when paired with a compatible device. The built-in carabiner creates a ready-to-wear design, making it easy to take the speaker on the go.

As the name implies, the Clip is meant to be mated to your backpack, bike, pants – pretty much any clip-able locale – with an integrated carabiner, so it can throw down a soundtrack for your travels. And with summer on the way, hopefully you’ll be going a few places where having a bit ofmusic (or, you know, audio books, if that’s your thing) might make a pleasant addition to your journey”

[Sponsored]: Summertime is coming and will be here before we know it! You all know that I love easy meals during the warmer months, and I also love a good meal in a bowl. It’s also Vidalia Onion season 🧅 so I paired this seasonal favorite with pan-seared shrimp and veggies as a light rice bowl using your choice of grains.☺️This meal is an absolute delight!

#OnlyVidalia Get the recipe and all the Vidalia Onion details by clicking the link in my profile @mamaharriskitchen. Also make sure to grab some @vidaliaonions1 from your local grocer before they are out of season in late August/early September.☀️

This time of year I love warm, comforting recipes that are super easy and delish. This ridiculously easy Chicken Tortilla Soup is a one pot meal, ready in under 30 minutes and uses already prepared rotisserie chicken for maximum flavor (and ease)! With a tasty blend of flavors and textures, it’s like a bowl full of comfort.

(AD) There has been a lot of cooking going on this year, so I’ve tried to make life a bit easier by getting creative with my leftovers. These pulled pork totchos are a great example of leftovers with a few key ingredients to create something new to keep our meals exciting. Adding a few key ingredients like @lamorenausa adobo peppers and jalapeños and carrots definitely livens up something simple. La Morena peppers are hand selected, using only the highest quality peppers to bring you authentic home style flavors of Mexico. I purchased my La Morena items from my local Safeway, but you can find them at your favorite grocery store in the international food section. #PayItForwardwithLM #VivaLaMorena #WeCanWithLaMorena 
 
INGREDIENTS:
- 32 oz tater tots
- 2 cups shredded cheese (Mexican blend + Pepper Jack)
- 2 cups prepared bbq pulled pork (check my pulled pork sliders recipe!)
- 1/2 can La Morena Adobo Peppers & Sauce
- 2 tablespoons sour cream 
- 2 tablespoons ranch dressing
- 1 cup pico de Gallo
- 1/2 cup guacamole
- 3 chopped green onions 
- 3-4 La Morena jalapeños and carrots, sliced

INSTRUCTIONS:
Prepare tater tots as instructed, in air fryer or oven. Heat oven to 450°. 
Cover the bottom of a large cast iron skillet with the cooked tater tots. 
Top with 1 1/2 cup of cheese. 
Combine the chopped adobo peppers and sauce with the prepared bbq pulled pork. Spread the pulled pork mixture on top of the tater tots, then top with the remaining cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 5 minutes.
Top with sour cream, ranch, pico de Gallo, guacamole, green onions, and sliced jalapeños and carrots.

Enjoy!! 😋

Happy December, all!! 🎄Since it’s basically Christmas now, it’s time to share ALL the holiday cookies! 

Every year I join my friend @natashanicholes as she heads up her #HousefulofCookies virtual cookie swap, where many of us share some sweet treats for the holiday season. 

This year I’ve created Cranberry Pistachio Citrus Cookies to share as my contribution. 🍪 I know that a lot of things have turned “virtual” throughout this year, but a little virtual bake-off is a fun way to connect with some of your favorite people!

Hello Instagram fam! 💖 There’s some new faces around here and it’s been a while since I showed mine!

I’m Dawn, creator of Mama Harris’ Kitchen, and I’m so glad you’re here with me! In this space I share my family-friendly recipes for all occasions, whether it be a 30-minute meal for those busy weeknight dinners or a full spread for entertaining a crowd - and everything in between.

Mama Harris’ Kitchen began back in 2012, in fact it’s 8 years this month! 🥳  What started as a way to document my newfound cooking hobby while managing my “new” life as a stay-at-home wife and mom to a 1 and 3 year along with teens and preteens, and it quickly grew into what it is now - a recipe resource for busy families like mine that enjoy flavorful and comforting home-cooking using pantry staples along with fresh and local ingredients as often as possible. 

🍿Five fun facts about me:
1. I LOVE elephants! 🐘 I collect a lot of elephant items, whether it’s trinkets or  artwork, notepads etc. I love what elephants symbolize and I truly love anything elephant related.
2. I’m a total plant lady! 🌱 I have about 35 houseplants, give or take, and there’s still more on the list of wants. Plants have become such a peaceful outlet for me, and I feel that they really center me within my space. I love the element plants bring to your space and the feel of your home with them in it, and new leaves are so exciting!
3. I have seven tattoos and I have plans for about eight more. 💉 Those that know me aren’t surprised, but those that follow me here tend to find it a bit surprising. 🙃
4. I’ve been a mother for a long time, over half my life! I’ve also been a lot of different “types” of mom - teen mom, single mom, working mom, stepmom, stay at home mom, PROUD mom, military mom, mother in law - the list goes on. No matter what, motherhood looks different for everyone and there’s unique challenges and experiences each mother faces. Please be gentle with yourself! ❤️At the end of the day we’re all just trying our best!
5. I’m a bit of an introvert, and often struggle with the “social” aspect of social media. I tend to go silent sometimes, but I’m working on it.

☀️Thank you for joining me here!
