Having Breakfast with Food Network’s Aaron McCargo, Jr. and Aunt Jemima

Last month, I was invited to have breakfast with Food Network's Aaron McCargo, courtesy of Aunt Jemima.  You may not know this but I'm completely obsessed with the Food Network.  I know EVERYONE on the network and watch almost every show.  If there's ever a blog event featuring ANYONE from the Food Network, I am so there! I first saw Aaron McCargo when he was on the show called Food Network Star back in 2008. He actually won the grand prize of having his own show.  I was rooting for him since … [Read more...]

Chris O’Donnell Has a Small Message for YOU!

As you may know, I participated in spreading the word about the New Lunchables -- Now With Fruit last month in Times Square.  I was able to interview Chris O'Donnell and spend time with the Lunchables team in helping Feeding America reach their goal of donating up to one million pounds of fruit to the hungry. It was a beautiful day despite the drizzle here and there.  The crowd was awesome and we all had a chance to try out samples of the Lunchables. But Lunchables still NEEDS your help in … [Read more...]

This past Monday I attended a fun and tasty event with Chef Bobby Flay and fellow bloggers at the swanky La.Venue in New York City sponsored by Hellmann’s®.

JAFRA NYC Beauty Event

Sadly I could not make the JAFRA event but I'm glad La Latina Loquita was able to cover the event for New York Chica. Please give a warm welcome to Victoria Love. NewYorkChica.com was invited to experience a beauty event on behalf of Jafra Cosmetics which was held at Marquee in Manhattan and sponsored by PrettyCity.com. Now I'm a MAC girl through and through, so I was a little skeptical at first. I have very sensitive skin and with the wrong makeup or face-wash, I break out like a teenager … [Read more...]

During the Red Carpet Premiere of Gnomeo and Juliet in Hollywood (the after-party to be exact), I had an awesome opportunity to take a photo with one of my favorite women from the show The Talk, Sharon Osbourne aka on Twitter, @MrsSOsbourne. Sharon Osbourne was sitting at a table (just a few feet away from me) with Elton John, some other people and her son.  After she took a picture with another fan, I went up to her and mentioned that I loved her show, The Talk and her eyes brightened.  Then … [Read more...]
