Momma Told Me: Welcome to the future.

We talk a lot about the millennial generation and it's unique, neigh, fortunate position amidst the modern consumer tech boom. Those in my age bracket are young enough to have grown up around most modern technology devices, as they were first developing, yet old enough to still appreciate just how far modern tech has come in the past 10-15 years alone. When I hear someone complain that their 4G service is 'down' or not working it's hard not to roll my eyes. My first thought is, 'How did you live 5 years ago when their was no 'Gs' at all?' followed by, 'Maybe it's time to get a better network!' If you're one of the data-less out there, roaming the Earth, hunting down municipal WiFi signals because you think the technology of 4G data is beyond your budget and time, I'm here to remind you Walmart Family Mobile has you covered.

First of all anyone can enjoy the lightening fast speeds of 4g LTE service, and unlimited data, without having to take out a second mortgage or sign away the next 5 years of their life. With absolutely no contract, and first lines starting at just $29.88/month for Unlimited Talk, Text, And Data with up to 1 GIG of 4g LTE speed, Walmart Family Mobile plans are perfect for just about any one. Whether you're an individual looking to invest in your first Smartphone or a family of 4 talking about safety and your tween's first cell phone, there's a device and plan to suit your needs. Starting an Unlimited smartphone plan with Walmart Family Mobile is as easy as walking into your local Walmart- and be sure to check out these amazing rollbacks on great devices too:

• Nokia 635 - $79.84 (was $129.88)
• Galaxy Avant - $149.00 (was $199.99)

• Alcatel Fierce 2 - $119.00 (was $129.99)
• Alcatel Evolve 2 - $39.83 (was $59.88)

You already know I am tethered to my tech day and night. While it's might not be the best thing for me, my lifestyle demands and allows me to be connected to the internet almost 24/7. Don't worry- I am sure to unplug every night 2 hours before bed, and don't touch the internet until AFTER my morning meal and shower- but the rest of the day is fair game. It doesn't hurt that I invest in the Unlimited Talk, Text, Data, and Web Family Mobile plan with 3 Gigs of 4GLTE data for just $39.88 on my line! Let's check out some of the ways I use #MyDataMyWay thanks to the freedom of the Walmart Family Mobile plans and network.

1. Streaming Music- I'm not the sort of gal who can stay motivated to keep active, especially when it comes to getting to the gym every other day. It's more so the drive to the dreary building with the bland colored walls and the silent TVs that kill it for me. Luckily, my Samsung Galaxy S4 is equipped with unlimited data and the Walmart Family Mobile network- I can stream my favorite digital radio station live from the elliptical WHILE hearting #CatsOfInstagram photos on Instagram.

2. Social Media and Networking- Thanks to social media pretty much anyone can feel like they're 'kinda a big deal.' My Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, and Pinterest feeds are constantly pinging mobile alerts to my mobile device and I'm happy to respond to them in real time for virtual interaction that is much more rewarding than simply logging into my computer at the end of the day. Social Media is a major part of what I call the 'NOW' generation and having unlimited data helps me stay relevant (if that's your thing,) or, at least, keeps me entertained while creeping in the shadows of the interwebs.

3. Tethering and Mobile HotSpots- While it may seem like free internet is everywhere these days, nothing makes it clearer that this is NOT the case, than traveling. I'm still surprised the sheer number of national airports and travel hubs that have limited or paid WiFi service. When I'm on the road I spend a lot of time waiting to get to wherever I'm going. The ability to tap into my mobile data and run WiFi devices, outside of my smartphone, off that connection is worth it's weight in gold.A few years ago people paid big bucks for this privilege, now, with the right device and Walmart Family Mobile, I can run my laptop from the most obscure travel hubs.

4. Mobile Gaming- Of course it's not ALL work- there's plenty of play, too. Many of my favorite apps, such as Words With Friends and Crossy Road enable me to compete in the rankings against my real life friends and family. My Unlimted Talk, Text, and Data plan even keeps the kids occupied on road trips, when they quietly play their favorite mobile application games for hours, much to my ears, and my sanity's delight.

5. Home Security Streaming- Whether you have a newborn you're leaving with a Nanny, a tween learning to walk herself home from the bus stop, or a new housekeeper you'd like to keep tabs on- wireless home security cameras are more popular than ever. While every camera is different, our iZon View home security camera gives us a full color, real time, stream complete with sound. I can pop into the live stream via the included application from anywhere with a data or WiFi signal OR receive noise and motion alerts with snippets of recorded 'events,' moments after they happen. Having the clarity and dependability of Walmart Family Mobile's wireless network and plans truly does help provide us with that extra piece of mind!

What I'm Streaming: In Your Eyes (2014), Netflix

Momma Told Me: True love is hard enough to believe without Vampires in the mix.

If I used the term 'Supernatural Romance' today, you might be inclined to think of Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Edward and Bella (Twilight Series) or The Time Traveler's Wife (2009). Many of you may have a natural reaction to put down this article right now, to stop reading altogether. After all, even the most famous and beloved Paranormal Romance film, Ghost (1990) featured the deceased Patrick Swayze wooing his grieving girlfriend, Demi Moore. I have a hard time wrapping my head round vampires and ghosts in love- no matter how great the actors portraying the romance, it always comes off as cheesy. And that's precisely why In Your Eyes  (2014) is a refreshing twist to the Supernatural Romance genre.

Something that had previously been reserved for over-the-top romance novels and science fiction, this particular genre is used ever so cleverly on an impressively natural level. Paranormal, in this case, deals more with the exploration of the tangible bond between two people who have never met. That is to say, if you believe in the existence of soul mates you are already on board with the plot's notion that two people destined to be together could in theory sense that connection no matter their distance.

At 105 minutes, with a true cast of around 10 characters, In Your Eyes is  genuine romantic film dedicated to portraying the story and love of two people who being the film as seemingly strangers. The actors, who have had some sucess on and off screen in minor roles are brilliantly cast within the clever quirks of their own characters. Playing with the classic romantic notion of forbidden love, Rebecca is the affluent wife of a medical researcher wasting away her life at cocktail parties and fundraisers while her on screen counterpart, Dylan, is an ex-con struggling to find himself. However the true compulsion to watch comes from the unique connection these otherwise strangers discover.

It turns out both Dylan and Rebecca have in fact known each other, quite intimately, their entire lives. This discovery leads to a complicated and intense relationship between the two as they attempt to hold each-other up, despite the miles. While the tie that bonds them is a bit cheesy at some points the characters are quite endearing and the film will challenge you to smile, and even cry throughout it's ups and downs. The storytelling is shot beautifully, and it's not hard to find yourself falling in love with the characters.

One of the successes of In Your Eyes is the beautiful soundtrack (which I in fact purchased) that brings the characters and the plot through it's ups and downs. Twinbed's The Trouble I'm In is a haunting melody that so elegantly brings one of the film' most satisfying scenes to a climax while Eddie Ray's Glad I Found You helps steer one of the film's more playful scenes. The soundtrack is indeed as diverse as the emotions portrayed and the depth of each character is unmistakable as the viewer is helplessly drawn in.

I would love to suggest In Your Eyes as a Valentine's Day stream for you and your sweetie, though most cynical men will have a hard time latching on to a film that otherwise reminds me of The Notebook. Consider watching this with some girlfriends, by yourself as a guilty please, or with a teen daughter (there really is nothing graphic.) And I must add that leading man, Micheal Stahl-David is simply smoldering as the hopelessly awkward and unaware bad boy turned hero! In all, the timing for this Netflix release proved just right and I look forward to owning a physical copy soon!

What Daughter Says: Characters Rebecca and Dylan are soul mates at their best!
