January 20, 2011 by Leave a Comment
I cannot believe I'll be leaving tomorrow morning on a jet-plane to go across the country to California -- by myself! Is this a dream? Not anymore! ;) A few weeks ago I received an email from Disney inviting me to the Red Carpet Premiere for Gnomeo and Juliet. It couldn't have come at a better time because it was right after Christmas. What a way to start the new year! The email stated that it will be an all-expense paid trip to Hollywood, California filled with a busy schedule of … [Read more...]

January 18, 2011 by 12 Comments
I can't believe I've been having a difficult time trying to find a photo for the past 2 Wordless Wednesday posts. I mean, isn't it the easiest blog post ever? I finally found one photo that tells a story from 3 very different people that are my family. My sister who is wondering why she's even in the picture or maybe it's because it wasn't her birthday (who knows!) and my cousin who looks afraid of standing on a chair that is fit for one person (can you tell she's trying to hold me for dear … [Read more...]

January 18, 2011 by 3 Comments
I have a confession -- I make a few New Years resolutions every year without fail and it always consists of losing weight (particularly losing 20 pounds). Always. This year is different. I did not make not one New Years resolutions. Why? I never follow through. Typically after a few weeks of dieting and exercising, I usually fall off the wagon and I'm back to my usual habits of eating "whatever" and not working out as planned. This year I decided to take charge of my well-being … [Read more...]

January 16, 2011 by 5 Comments
(Just an FYI: WTF translates to "What the filth" LOL) Just in case you've been living under a rock, I wanted to let you all know that there's been a change in the zodiac sign chart. This past Thursday the internet was going berserk over the news about the zodiac sign change. When I first heard about it, I was dumbfounded. I didn't believe it til' I saw with my own eyes and than I saw it -- Instead of being a Sagittarius (Birthday is Dec 16th), I am now an OPHIUCHUS. WTF? I can't … [Read more...]

January 15, 2011 by 5 Comments
I recently wrote about I Can't Believe It's Not Butter (ICBINB) and how healthy it is compared to regular butter and oils. Since then, I have cooked many meals with ICBINB and I love it. My family and I are hooked! It's taste delicious, it's creamy and it's low in fat. My favorite quick and easy recipe is to spread ICBINB onto warm toast and dash a little cinnamon on top with a cup of coffee and a piece of fruit like an apple or a pear. The combination pairs wonderfully for a fast and easy … [Read more...]
