#Disney #Superbowl Commercials to watch for #DisneyOz #LoneRanger #IronMan3

So, Superbowl is coming up and it's that time of year where there's always a ton of commericials and rampant competition for which commercial triumphs over which. Just the other day when I was at the live taping of The View, they were discussing the racial ramifications of the new Volkswagen commercial. Serious things aside though, it's Friday, and we need to let loose. Here are some sure to be great commercials to watch for during this year's Superbowl. Besides the puppy commercials I so adore, I always enjoy my Disney goodies too!

This week's mission giveaway shares a great company and cause. So many women are affected by breast cancer...honestly, it doesn't affect just women. When a loved one is diagnosed, everyone suffers. So, it's really heartwarming to see a company that developed out of these relationships. Read their story and you'll see that they came out stronger and with a mission to help others!

A new #Petsmart's Nature's Miracle Crate for #BabyPom! #pets #dogs

JR: I had a crate from the day Mommy first picked me up and I've been sharing with BabyPom as well. It's time he got his own crate. Luckily, PetSmart was kind enough to send us Nature's Miracle Advanced Pet Suite with Antimicrobial Product Protection. That sounds fancier than anything I ever had! It's super portable and easy to assemble and take apart. Mom had it done in about a minute. Mommy thinks they sent her Chance but secretly, I think it's for me!

Deep Dish Pies, not quite the kind with pepperoni #spon

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Mrs. Smith's. All opinions are 100% mine.

That's right, Mrs. Smith has come out with a line of Signature Deep Dish Pies. They aren't the type I usually think of now, being a transplanted New Yorker. Now, when I think of pies, pizzas come to mind. It's definitely been awhile since I have had the opportunity to eat real dessert pies. Real dessert pies! They sound amazingly delish too!

Finding My Faith? Regaining My Faith? #ChickenSoup

As of late, I've found myself kind of wandering without a purpose, without a direction. There are many things on my mind and I haven't had a good night's rest in a month. As things stand as they are, it's going to be like this for another couple of months. It's been difficult feeling unsettled but I've been trying my best to keep it bottled in as to not negatively impact those around me who are facing more stress.

Reviva Labs with Newly Named Products for the better US 1/30 #skincare #beauty

Reviva Labs isn't an unfamiliar brand to us here at WOS. Part of it's draw is definitely the fact that it's used at over 1200 professional skin care salons. Skin care is especially important during these winter months when it's particularly easy to get dried out. This time, we will be taking a look at two creams that have always been in their line just renamed. You tell me, do they live up to the name change? Oh and be sure to stick with us because this is a part of the New Year's Giveaway Hop so not only will you be able to enter to win the review products here, you can also visit the other blogs for other great giveaways!

Releasing my frustration and dealing with stress via #games #FarCryGold #spon

Thank you to Ubisoft for sponsoring this post. Please visit Amazon.com to get your own copy of Far Cry 3, today's Gold Box Deal of the Day! I was selected for this opportunity as a member of Clever Girls Collective. All opinions are my own.

Ah, it's been a stressful week. Our car got broken into, we had our car manual along with the registration and insurance in it and it's pretty leather cover stolen. Mmhmm, they stole a car manual and oh ya, our tire pressure gauge too. Yes, it was nice one too. You may think, why would they do that? We thought so too but apparently the manual itself for our car model is worth $100. *Jaw Drop* Yes, these idiots decided to break into our car, leave us a $500 deductible and several grand in damage to steal a car manual and a tire pressure gauge. Unbelievable, right? I need to unwind.

#MyYesDress goes from Pork Chop Buns to Afternoon Tea at the #Macau Tower #Frockstar

When you visit Macau, there are a number of things you want to see and taste. One of these are the infamous pork chop buns. On one early, chilly morning, we did just that! Oh, but you can't just go to any shop...you have to go to the shop that started it all located near the Galaxy Hotel. There are several options of pork chop buns or pork chop on noodles. However, we were so early that morning that we only had two choices so we ordered both to test it out.

Steaming it up on dreary days with #DRAsianMeals #CBias

When it's gloomy and mopey outside, I really don't feel like cooking. All I want is something warm and quick. Where do I go? Well, it is New York so I'm definitely heading to my neighborhood's Duane Reade first.

#KarinaNation believes in #Frockstars from Ages 18-80

Yes, it's true and we've proved it! Karina dresses are really built for women of all sizes and almost all ages. At Karina Dresses, they are very proud of being dresses for women from ages 18-80. Well, we put that to the test during my recent Hong Kong trip!

Make the most out of your #Frankenweenie movie night with this fun pack

To celebrate the release of Frankenweenie on Blu-Ray and DVD, here are some bonus clips and a special activity pack to download. It'd make for a great family movie night!

Date night with #MyYesDress #Frockstar

I'm travelling so much lately so you know what's about to come...another fun filled #KarinaNation post with my favorite travelling buddy, Karina Dresses. We recently returned from a business trip in Minnesota. However, you know we can't just do all business so the SO and I decided we'd have a date night before all the customary business stuff.

New adventures and coloring sheets from the Littlest Pet Shop

This storyline is great. How cool would it be to be Blythe Baxter who moves into an apartment above The Littlest Pet Shop. Oh, I'd love to live by a pet shop although I may be there on a daily basis!

A Monster in Paris arrives soon on Blu-ray and DVD!

In one of my favorite cities in the world, a monster will be released on April 16th. Shout! Factory and EuropaCorp will release A Monster in Paris on DVD and Blu-Ray! The English voice cast includes Vanessa Paradis, Catherine O’Hara, Bob Balaban, Sean Lennon, Adam Goldberg, Jay Harrington, and Danny Huston.

This #Frockstar films a shampoo commercial for #KarinaNation on The Peak in #HongKong

While I was in Hong Kong, I was solicited to film a commercial for #KarinaNation. Mmmhmm, this fashionista was in a shampoo commercial! I was wearing Karina Dresses' Penelope 3/4 Sleeve in Creme Brullee Puchi size XS and ready to go.

Striiving to maintain my 2013 #fitness resolutions #MillionSteps #BestBuy

I've tested out a few pedometers in my day and I usually get sick of items once they become somewhat tedious...which is why I always have a hard time maintaining my New Year's resolutions. Every year, there's a couple that are at the top of the list. Every year, I fail. LOL, one of them is definitely fitness and weight loss. With the dogs, it helps a little since that guarantees several walks a day but I think I've found myself a little extra incentive.

Big news! #Oscar nominations for some of my favorite #Disney films of 2012

Well well well, I can't say I wasn't expecting the majority of these. If you haven't heard yet, The Walt Disney Studios earned 17 Oscar nominations! Are you ready to see the list?

It's how cold and this #Frockstar still wants to travel in #MyYesDress?!

As some of you may have read last month, I finally had a rare opportunity to take a family vacation. It's been years since my brother was able to get some time off so it made this all the more special.

I usually stress over packing. I always worry about what to pack and if I've forgotten anything. It can take me anywhere from a full day to a couple days to pack. This time, I set a new record. It was the first time packing finished so quickly. My secret?

The return of Never Land is here! #PeterPan

Okay, I'm so jealous of those of you living in the west coast! I would love to see Disney's Peter Pan at the El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood before it's Diamond Edition Blu-Ray Combo pack release on February 5th. Between January 11 to February 13, 2013, join in the exclusive screening of Peter Pan. They even have special events planned out.

Strange love for #Frankenweenie 3D and activity sheets!

Ah, ever since I went to the red carpet premiere of Frankenweenie, I've wanted to get my hands on this! And I finally have, in 3D and BluRay! Did you go see it in theaters back in October? It's a heartwarming story about Victor Frankenstein and his dog, Sparky, in the town of New Holland. It's a story about the emotions one goes through when a loved pet passes and well, in Victor's case, he brings Sparky back to life through a science experiment!

How to get rid of unwanted hair -#Tria Part 5

I'm nearing the end of my 6 month journey with Tria Laser. 5 months have quickly gone by in the blink of an eye. I'm still wondering where 2012 went. Of course, I'll find myself halfway through this year before I know it!

Coca Cola pays it forward in 2013! US 1/23 #CocaColaPIF #spon

Well, you can nominate up to 5 youngsters and they can also nominate themselves. With each nomination, you are entered to win $5000 for yourself.

Hello 2013! What did you miss in 2012?

Happy New Years! I think I'm still in shock that we're already into 2013. Are you? 2012 seemed to go by way too quickly. I had so many plans for a 2012 wrap up post and it may still come...but for now, how are you coping? Are you still writing 2012 on your dates?

Enter for your chance to head to the Emerald City! #DisneyOz

Stocking up on Active Wear from @OldNavy #stylecouncil #fashion #style

More fun at Old Navy for Style Council members! This time, for some of my favorite attire to be in...athletic clothes! I love my sweats, tanks, and sweaters! As usual, Old Navy sent me two coupons, one for me and one for my friend for one top and one bottom. How generous, right? As you know from last time, Krista from NYC Talon lives a fair distance away so I sent her one of the coupons. Are you excited to see our pics this time?
