Yesterday I attended a RedPlum event at the beautiful W Hotel - The Tuscany. The reason for the event was to showcase their Holiday gift guides for everyone you know for just under $30. The gifts are low-cost, practical and thoughtful as well. The whole area was decorated with items you can buy at their site and the tables were decorated by one of my favorite stores, Ikea. At the end of the event, they raffled off a table setting to take home from a choice of two (both were absolutely … [Read more...]

Shoffee.com is Sponsoring Our Keurig Elite Brewer Giveaway
November 17, 2009 by 124 Comments
The Keurig brand has had a great reputation and it’s growing every day. Because of that, I’ve wanted one for the last few years because I’ve heard many great things about the brewer and to be honest, I’m really the only person that drinks “coffee maker” coffee since my husband is an instant coffee drinker, yuk, I know. So, whenever I made coffee in the coffee maker, I had to throw the rest away because I only wanted one cup. So, when I found out that www.Shoffee.com will be giving me one … [Read more...]
Broke-ology | A Must See Play!
November 17, 2009 by Leave a Comment
My mom and I recently went to see Broke-ology. Never heard of it? It's basically a fantastic play about a family that goes through life in the ghetto streets of Kansas City and they try to figure out what to do with their future. Drama happens here and there but they stick together as a family, no matter what. The play is directed by the same person that directed "In the Heights" (another great play), Thomas Kail. After hearing so many great things about the play, I was really excited … [Read more...]
Trident and Smiles Across America

Ten days ago, I was involved in an online briefing among other bloggers with actress Jennie Garth and Dr. Dan Jones. The purpose of the briefing was to learn about the campaign called Smiles Across America®, which is the signature program from Oral Health America that supports dental services to thousands of children in underserved communities nationwide. We wanted to help spread the word about oral care and education for your kids. Did you know that 51 million school hours were missed last … [Read more...]
Giveaway: Unilever Beauty Tip of the Day Goodies
November 15, 2009 by 100 Comments
Recently, I was sent a box filled with an assortment of Unilever products such as, Dove deodorant, Ponds towelettes, Dove hair mousse and more. I’ve been a Unilever buyer for as long as I can remember. I first learned about Pond’s cream from my Abulelita (Grandmother) growing up. She always had beautiful skin and she owes it all to Pond's cream. Looking at my grandmother whose skin was always so fabulous and smooth, I started using Ponds when I was just a teenager and I have to admit, my … [Read more...]

Banana Shpeel by Cirque du Soleil
November 13, 2009 by Leave a Comment
Cirque du Soleil was started in 1984 by two former street performers, Guy Laliberté and Daniel Gauthier in Baie-Saint-Paul, Quebec. After much success over the next few years, they managed to win the 1991 Drama Desk Award for Unique Theatrical Experience and they continue to wow their audience. There is no other show quite like Cirque du Soleil. The first and only time I ever saw the show was in 1994, when they celebrated their tenth anniversary. It was the most amazing show I have ever … [Read more...]

Last Sunday, I joined other bloggers to preview the new HP Photosmart Web Printer. It was a very intimate blogger's event that showcased the newest member of the HP family. It is the HP Photosmart Premium TouchSmart Web All-in-One Printer and it's the world's first web-connected home printer. The features are amazing. The one feature that struck me was that you can have your photos printed straight from the cell phone right to the printer. I never thought, in a million years that a … [Read more...]

It's hard not to like Martha Stewart. You're bound to buy something that has her name written on the package. Why? Because she is everywhere and she can decorate your whole house with her line of EVERYTHING! Believe me, she has some great looking towels, tablecloths, curtains, bedspreads, kitchen stuff, bedroom stuff - the list can go on and on and on. Today, I received an email from Sirius radio that I wanted to share with all of my readers. Since Thanksgiving is just around the … [Read more...]
