How to treat thinning hair and prevent hair loss with natural supplements US 3/20 #MamaMadness


hair loss treatment, treat thinning hair
With my genetically thin hair and the stress I go through every day, I am always petrified that I'll go bald early. It's in my genes! Then I heard of Viviscal, a supplement that helps you grow your hair, make it healthy and thick. I've never had thick hair in my life. I've always had the problem of flat hair. Makes me wonder what I'd look like with luscious locks.

What to do when your #car gets broken into #Tips

I never thought it would happen to us. Not in our neighborhood...not where we parked. We live in a nice quiet area, which for the past 2.5 years, I had deemed safe. Crime really wasn't an issue here, especially not for us. We even parked in a lot right by the sidewalk and building, where there was lot of foot traffic. Whenever we worked on the car, someone from the apartment building would watch over us, as if we were the suspicious people about to steal our own car. So, we thought, we were safe.

It's #MonstersUniversity!!! #WordlessWednesday

This Wednesday, I'm so happy to present to you a new #MonstersUniversity poster! No one in the world can stop me from watching this movie June 21st! Afterall, I've already been to Monsters U Orientation 101 during Toy Fair!

Sneak peak at this year's hottest #toys from #Hasbro #HasbroTF #TFNY #TF13 #ToyFair


Wow. Let me warn you now, Hasbro has a great line of new products coming out this year. You may want to budget yourself correctly...eat less, cut back, work more...since I'm sure you'll want most of these. Or maybe that's just me.

Awesome new #toys for #MonstersUniversity and exclusive #Disney #Pixar interviews! #MonstersUToyFair #TF13 #TFNY #ToyFair

Getitng my picture with Sulley after we found the photobooth the next day, #MonstersUToyFair, Monsters University preview
Alright, I'll be honest...as I threw on my Vanellope shirt that morning, I had no idea what Disney adventures it would take me on. It must be the Disney magic I so believe in. Fast forward through the rainy morning and the metro ride and I arrived to see a sight for sore eyes...Monsters U campus orientation!!

A #love affair with my new favorite #Trench #fashionistaevents #travel #fashion

 Scottevest
Even as I wrote this post, I was on my way to a press event. Too often, when I travel, I find myself frustrated over the lack of pockets in women's fashion. Whether I am traveling locally or flying, I am always fumbling and trying to fit everything in my carry on.

5 items you need for press events that I always bring #Tips US 3/8

external chargers
When I went to my first conference, I had no idea what I was doing. I tried to read up on tips, which helped, but didn't prepare me 100%. I went to the conference armed with business cards, cell phone which I as a camera, a back-up camera, and my laptop. I definitely underestimated how much I would be using my tech devices. As a techie, I was a total failure. My cell and camera were consistently dying and with back to back events, I couldn't get them charged in time. I didn't have time to go back to my room and find a charger! I needed to be around. LOL, I learnt my lesson though and have come to love external chargers.

#MyUrgentRx Saves the Day! #CBias

2013 New York Toy Fair #TFNY #TF13 #Toyfair
Three days into Toy Fair and I was spent. Long days of commute, full days of walking and talking, and fun toy exhibits were wearing me down. I was tired and my throbbing headache wasn't helping. My back hurt as I had been carrying what felt like rocks for days. Add on to it, it was that time of the month. In short, it sucked and I was in pain. So I bailed out early that day to find myself some pain meds and hopefully, some fast pain relief. Being the Big Apple, you know it's just easy to walk into any convenient Duane Reade since there's so many of them around.

My very own pirate story! US 03/04 #books

I See Me Books review
With all the Peter Pan Diamond Edition talk lately, pirates like Captain Hook are in! Even Paul Collins, the voice of John Darling, loved Captain Hook's character. So, it's only suitable that I got my hands on this adorable personalized pirate story from I See Me. I See Me features a variety of different stories and settings for books, gifts, placemats, and more! What's neat is that you can personalize it all for anyone.

Digging into the mind of Chopped's Ted Allen after The View #TedAllenG2K

The View Studio, Set, #TedAllenG2K
It's been busy new year so far for me. I recently had the pleasure of attending a live taping of ABC's The View for Simply Stacie. I've been to a movie set visit before but it was my first time as live studio audience and being so ridiculously close to the show's hosts. Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar, Elisabeth Hasselbeck, Sherri Shepherd, and guest co-host, Kadee Strickland (Private Practice) were right in front of me as I enjoyed my 2nd row seats. LOL, those second row seats were also what snagged me great pics of Whoopi's wooden clogs.

How to easily prevent and treat flea and tick infections #dogs #pets #health

flea and tick prevention
Being a pet parent, my heart always dropped when I thought I saw a glimpse of something small and black in between my furbabies fur. I was terrified that they'd get ticks and fleas despite my attempts at timely giving their monthly preventatives. Of course, I'm human too so there were months in which I'd forget to give it on time and would give it late. It's even worse with BabyPom because of his fluffiness. His fluff meant it was so tough for me to check his skin and he loves his walks ever so much. Whoever said Poms were indoor dogs was completely wrong when it comes to BabyPom. Anyhow, I can finally tell you what I've been using on him for the past few months.

Peter pan Fort #PeterPanDiamond
Brr, we're getting a storm in the Northeast and many of us are stuck at home. Not to fret, we've got just the thing to keep the kids busy this weekend whether you're in the cold or not. First, let's start with building a Peter Pan Fort! All you need is some old wood and cardboard boxes! So cool, I have a ton of boxes from review items. I could definitely make one of these. Let's escape the cold and go to Never Land.

An appointment with John Darling (Paul Collins) #PeterPanDiamond

#PeterPanDiamond
I had the utmost honor the other night of interviewing one of the characters from Disney's classic, Peter Pan! Disney just released Peter Pan Diamond edition February 5th. The day before the release, I was graced by the presence of Mr. and Mrs. John Darling, otherwise known as Paul and Ellen Collins. What really tickled me was their friendly and personable nature. Ellen had told me as she woke up that morning, she said, "Oh, I'm Mrs. John Darling today." Isn't that just absolutely adorable?

We're on TV! #BlogPaws on Who Let the Dogs Out! #TillmanTV

Remember the first conference I went to, ever? That was Blogpaws last year in Salt Lake City. I knew "Who Let The Dogs Out" was filming an episode for Season 2 then. That episode finally aired today! On it were some of the buddies we met last year and of course, some of our favorite athletic dogs, Tillman and Norman the Scooter Dog!

Flying Slug fighters? What? #Slugterra!

Disney's Slugterra
LOL, I just watched this clip of Slugterra. Little cute slugs that when shot are used to battle? At least that's what I got from it. Sounds interesting though, right? Any Slugterrra fans out there who can't wait to get their hands on Slugterra: Return of the Shane Gang? It's about to arrive Feb 12 on DVD.

How the babies took control...#SubaruBP #spon #pets #dogs

Paco, Subaru Dog Tested. Dog Approved.™, #SubaruBP
You know, the SO and I had an interesting conversation the other day. I was telling him how I had to uphold my principles or people would walk all over me. He gave me a look and said, "No one walks over you." Then, we both turned, looked at JR, and said, "Actually, they walk all over you." Isn't that the truth? When we first got the babies, we were more strict about what they could and couldn't do. Now, they do whatever they want, when they want. Honestly, they've become so integrated in our lives that you have to ask, "Who's the master?"
