{edited to add: Congratulations to the winners, Karen M & Hminnesota. Emails were sent. Thank you to everyone for entering.} If you've been reading my blog for awhile than you already know that I was one of the very fortunate bloggers who attended the red carpet premiere for the film, Gnomeo and Juliet. It's based on the original story of Romeo and Juliet except without the tragic ending and instead of them being actual "people," they are garden gnomes. It's one of the cutest movies you … [Read more...]

If you've read my previous posts about being invited by Disney to attend the Red Carpet Premiere of Gnomeo and Juliet, then you'll want to stay for a bit to read my recap, starting with day one. January 21, 2011 Today's the day! I'm on my way to Hollywood! My day started at 4 am - not an easy task when sleep is a top priority. I woke up really happy and excited until I saw the dreadful white stuff we call snow. I could not believe my eyes. I truly thought my weekend was ruined … [Read more...]

I’m Attending The Gnomeo and Juliet Red Carpet Premiere in HOLLYWOOD!
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...]
I’m a Sagittarius! WTF is an Ophiuchus?
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...]
Special K Resolution Challenge: I Stepped on a Scale in Times Square!
January 9, 2011 by 10 Comments
Yes, I did. For once this wasn't your typical scale with numbers that tell you your weight -- instead it was a scale that showed each individual inspirational words or phrases. Now if it were a "real" scale with numbers, then that would be a whole other story but it wasn't so bad stepping on a scale in front of people in Times Square. It was quite liberating to be honest. The Special K Team was there to launch their "What will you gain when you lose" campaign to help women get inspired … [Read more...]
Special K Resolution Challenge: What Will You Gain When You Lose?
December 30, 2010 by 4 Comments
Are you starting a new resolution for the new year? If so, you're one of the many that will be. The top New Year's resolutions are losing weight, quit smoking, exercise more and of course, save money. This year, I'm not making any resolutions. Why? I'm simply making small changes in my life in hopes of keeping those changes to live a better life and be a better person. Instead of losing weight, I'm interested in gaining self-confidence. You see I've gained a little over twenty pounds … [Read more...]
The Disney Holiday Blogger Event in New York City
December 22, 2010 by Leave a Comment
Out of all the blogger events I've attended in the past (and I've been to plenty of events), Disney is by far my favorite event to go to. It's kid-friendly, full of treats and Disney always provides wonderful activities that are perfect for both parent & child. Disney definitely knows how to bring out the kid in every single adult, such as me. The Disney Holiday Blogger Event's main goal was to showcase their new games, like EPIC Mickey for Wii, new movies such as The Search for Santa … [Read more...]
Last Night, I Went to Jail….during a party.
December 2, 2010 by 1 Comment
Made you look! Just kidding. I'm talking about Twitter Jail. ;) If you unfamiliar with Twitter jail, let me explain. It happens when you go over your allotted tweets for the hour or the day. For instance, the amount of tweets you're allowed are 100 tweets per hour/1,000 tweets per day. If you go over those tweets, you can no longer tweet until an hour or so later. During a Twitter party, that can really suck which is why I decided to create another Twitter handle. Last night was a … [Read more...]
