StarStruck Giveaway (Closed)

Hey Peeps! On June 8th, Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment releases STARSTRUCK: EXTENDED EDITION on DVD! Pop star Christopher Wilde (Sterling Knight, “Sonny With a Chance”) makes quite the impression on Jessica Olson (Danielle Campbell, “Prison Break”) and her older sister Sara during a routine family vacation. Brandon Mychal Smith (“Sonny With a Chance”) and Chelsea Staub (“JONAS”) also star in this rockin’ DC Original Movie!

StarStruck, a music and adventure-filled romp that hits all the right notes for kids and tweens, tells the story of Jessica Olson (Danielle Campbell, Prison Break) and her older sister Sara (Maggie Castle, Time Traveler’s Wife), who are heading to Hollywood from Kalamazoo, Michigan, on a family trip to visit their grandmother. Sara is obsessed with pop star Christopher Wilde (Sterling Knight, Sonny with a Chance) and hopes to track him down while in California, but Jessica could care less about the stuck-up star and would rather go sightseeing. When the sisters arrive in L.A. Sara takes Jessica on a hunt to find Christopher and a chance meeting with the star sets off a series of comic adventures that feature many of L.A.’s landmark locations. As the sisters sightsee and spend time together, Jessica gets to know the real Christopher and soon their friendship grows. Ultimately Christopher must decide what is more important — being himself or becoming a movie star. Disney Channel stars Brandon Mychal Smith (Sonny With a Chance) and Chelsea Staub (JONAS) also star as Christopher’s loyal best friend and fame- hungry girlfriend, respectively.

Giveaway

I will be giving away (1) copy of StarStruck on DVD!

Cough Syrup Recall Rescue

Hey peeps! I just wanted to drop you a line real quick on how to solve a problem you might have and get something FREE out of it! As you probably already know, more than 40 over-the-counter children’s medications are being recalled, several of which are for colds, coughs and allergies. As parents across the country scramble to find an effective alternative for their children’s coughs during the 2010 season, one company is coming to the rescue.

Honey Naturals, the makers of ZarBee’s, the leading all-natural children’s cough syrup that is safe and effective for kids ages 12 months and older, wants to put parents at ease during this chaotic time and make them aware of this all-natural way to calm their children’s throat and respiratory irritations. The company is now offering all consumers affected by the recall the chance to receive a bottle of ZarBee’s Children’s Cough Syrup for free. Parents looking for a safe, natural alternative can receive a free full size bottle of the product over at ZarBee’s.  Head on over and claim it!

Motor Oil Matters (Closed)

Most people say that change is good.  Well, I can at least say that changing your oil in your engine is very good.  Did you know that in the United States the average age of cars and light trucks on the roads today has reached a record high of 9.4 years? That means it´s more important than ever to take proper care of your vehicle.

With the informative Web site www.MotorOilMatters.org (created by the maker of industry-leading brands Pennzoil and Quaker State) you can easily locate key information about how quality motor oils can help prolong your engine´s life and improve overall efficiency, as well as help answer other questions you may have about motor oil. In addition, the site offers a fun, educational game for you to play called “M.O.M. Knows Best” where you can put your motor mind to the test with an interactive quiz.

Did you know?

  • According to a recent survey from the Automotive Service Association, more than 54 percent of customers who take their vehicles for service and repair are women
  • Using a high-quality motor oil in the right grade can help maximize fuel economy
  • Low-quality oils that do not meet industry standards or the vehicle manufacturer´s requirements could cost consumers in the long run by potentially damaging the vehicle´s engine or possibly voiding the manufacturer´s warranty
  • Another reason to look to a high-quality motor oil – like Pennzoil and Quaker State – is that it is designed to meet the demands of today´s engines

Giveaway

I will be giving away (1) $35 Jiffy Lube gift card for one lucky winner!

Mother’s Day at Marshalls and T.J.Maxx


I usually have an extremely hard time finding my wife something from the kids and I on Mother’s Day. This year the great people at Marshalls and T.J.Maxx have come to our rescue! Marshalls and T.J.Maxx are the places to find the same designer merchandise as department and specialty stores but for up to 60% less other retail stores.

I went ahead and took my wife on over to Marshalls and then to T.J. Maxx so she could look around and find some things that she really wanted and that she had all the time in the world to find them. My wife is the hardest person to buy for but, I do love being able to get her stuff she really likes. Usually she is also so worried about spending alot of money on things that she likes. Thank goodness that at Marshalls and T.J. Maxx she can find the same designer merchandise but pay the “off-price”. This should be really awesome for every different mother out there.

Here are some of the things that she picked up for Mother’s Day!


Here are some gorgeous shirts she picked up.


I know, I know, but she really likes corn on the grill!

Here’s some great idea’s for every mother on your list!

  • For the “Fashion Forward” Mom: If mom is a self-declared fashionista, buy her a new outfit to usher in the spring season.  Create a look that highlights some of the great spring trends like a floral-printed dress topped off with blush toned cardigan.  If your mom is really cutting edge, tap into the rocker chic look by purchasing a bomber jacket paired with boyfriend jeans. Or, sneak into her closet, find her shoe size and pick up a great pair of designer shoes she won’t be able to resist.
  • For the “Home maker”: For the mom who loves to decorate, cook and garden shower her with home staples in the season’s best colors.  Be creative by purchasing a decorative frame with your picture already placed inside of it. Table centerpieces and vases are also great gifts. Try a stylish new apron, or a basket full of gourmet foods, oils and spices.  Or, pick up a set of colorful gardening tools or decorative watering can and oversized hats for her days in the garden!
  • For the “Fitness Fanatic”: For the mom who loves a good work out, high-quality, stylish and low-priced work out gear will be sure to make her both look and feel good while running, doing yoga or even playing tennis.  Create a special gift package by pairing the outfit with a pair of sneakers or a yoga mat.
  • For the “Mom Who Has Everything”: If Mom is a tricky person to shop for, focus on this season’s hottest item – jewelry.  A must have this spring are clear Lucite pieces like rings and bracelets.  Cocktail rings or a mixed metal lariat necklaces, are also a great gift if you are stumped on what to get mom. Or, just get her a gift card….so she can spend the day shopping and picking out her favorite things!

I hope some of these ideas will help some of you out with the Mother in your life.  If not before, then as an “I’m sorry gift” afterward!
