HP Photosmart Premium Touchsmart Web All-in-One Printer | Review
October 4, 2010 by 1 Comment
I was first introduced to the HP Touchsmart Web All-in-One printer when I was invited to see a few showcased at a blog event in conjunction with viewing A Christmas Carol movie in 3D last November. It was love at first sight. Every since I was a pc owner (since 98'), I've been an HP printer customer. For some reason, HP printers do not disappoint in any way. Before receiving the HP Touchsmart printer for review several months ago (this review is WAY overdue!), we were proud … [Read more...]

Yesterday I attended an event called Sandwich Night With The Deen Brothers (Paula Deen's boys Jamie & Bobby).

Easy Recipe: Chicken Gyros – By Bobby Flay (Sabroso Saturday)
September 18, 2010 by 10 Comments
I saw this recipe being made right before my eyes at a Hellmann's event this past week (full event post coming up) made by Iron Chef Bobby Flay with the help of Lori Loughlin (Becky from Full House). It was one of my favorite recipes that they made because not only was it easy to make, but it is healthy and very tasty. I'm one who is very picky when it comes to veggies (yes, I know, that is bad!) but with this recipe, I found out that I love fresh spinach. Who would've thought! I never … [Read more...]
Showing Some Love To A Good Friend And A Fellow Blogger
September 17, 2010 by 14 Comments
When I started blogging, I never knew I would become good friends with other bloggers let alone meet and greet celebrities. If you had asked me 10 years ago that I was going to meet strangers from the internet I would've thought you were crazy. I am that kind of person. I don't do crazy like that. I'm simple and like to "get to know" people before I let them in my personal life. Now that I have became good friends with other bloggers, I like to help them out as much as I can and show them … [Read more...]
