What Did You Think Of DWTS Lasnight??

    What did you think of  DWTS All Stars last night? Do you think the right person was sent home, and what are your feelings about these cast members? I have said it before, and I'll say it again, to put someone like Bristol Palin, or Pamela  Anderson into this competition comparing them to the other contestants is just not right at all. We are talking about mirror ball winners & runner ups. I was shocked to see how poorly Pam did, compared to how far she got on her season with Louis. I remember that she got good at dancing, and stayed in the competition for quite some time. I felt sorry to see her go, but it was her or the Palin chick. I will be very sad if someone like Helio or Apollo goes home considering they are both Mirror Ball Champs.   I'm not at all thrilled with the new point system either. The half points are stupid, and make no sense. Those judges have their favorites, and we all know one of the favorites will win the competition. Good old Len hasn't changed a bit has he? He was grumpier and nastier than ever on opening night. I wish he would go away for good, or better yet, come out and show us how he dances, and we will let Maksim judge him. I'm so sick of his nasty comments, and Carrie Ann's stupid "Booty" comments. She needs to act appropriately!   Did you see enough of the Palin's last night? I swear they showed Sara almost ten times or so. Seeing her once was enough for me! Her & her kid really need to go back home where they belong! I cant stand seeing or hearing anything of the Palin's. The only reason that Bristol is on the show is for ratings.We all know how far ABC will go to boost their ratings. They will stop at nothing to see their ratings sky rocket. I can almost imagine of what will come for rest of the season ahead. I will be happy when I see NO more Palin's!! I'm not a fan at all.  

  I'm of course a huge Tony Dovolani & Melissa Rycroft fan. If you watch each season, then you know that Tony has always got sent home way too early, and has yet to win. He is a darn good dancer, and has worked so hard each season to fall short. This is his season to win! He has the beautiful Melissa Rycroft as his partner. They have already danced together, so they have good chemistry. I couldn't believe their first dance. Melissa came out with a bang, and danced perfectly with such fluidity, and she ended with a bang! Her lines were sort of perfect. As the judge told her, that she needed to stay in hold for a bit longer with Tony. I believe they will be in the competition for quite some time. I can't wait to see her do the Quick Step & The Jive. Let's all pull together and help them stay in this competition for a long time, and get into the finals. I would appreciate your support. Their # is 1-800-868-3406.  Kelly & Val, Cheryl & Emmit, and Helio & Chelsea will be the ones to watch out or this season. We will see what happens each Monday. Don't forget to vote. Help spread the word too. I'm sure  Tony & Melissa will appreciate it. Thanks for stopping by!

Rocky Mountain Popcorn Review Giveway Ends 10/5

I'm a big popcorn lover and have been for years, so when I had the chance to try Rocky Mountain Popcorn I jumped on it, and boy was I in for a sure delight. Rocky Mountain Popcorn  started over 20 years, and is is located in eastern foothills of the great Rocky Mountains near Denver, Colorado. Rocky Mountain Popcorn has it's own taste different from another. I had always been a Smart Food Lover until I tried this popcorn. It's light, fresh, crisp and clean just like the Rocky Mountains .Rocky Mountain Popcorn is hot air popped and is coated with delicious natural flavors. You won't find any hydrogenated items or corn syrup in Rocky Mountain Popcorn. Check out the delicious line of popcorn they carry below.

Here is the variety of popcorn  that Rocky Mountain carries, with Caramel being one of my favorites. White Cheddar & Cinnamon Sugar are also right up there too for favorites. The Caramel is so light & fluffy,and just the perfect taste. Sometimes popcorn can be too overpowering with the flavor, but that is not the case here at all. The Cinnamon Sugar reminds me of eating fried dough at a carnival. The taste is absolutely scrumptious. Rocky Mountain Popcorn comes in these perfect sized 1.5 OZ Bags, and you don't have to worry about the calories too much, as Rocky Mountain Popcorn is low in calories and in the fat content. I noticed that instantly.The bag is filled right to the tippity top with popcorn also. Rocky Mountain Popcorn can be purchased by clicking here and is sold by the case of 12. I have also seen he popcorn at Walmart & Target for $1.59 or so.

The great folks over at Rocky Mountain Popcorn are graciously giving one of my readers a chance to win a whole box of popcorn. How cool is that? Christmas is coming, so wouldn't that an awesome gift to give,or would you keep it for yourself? That would be a hard call for me to make. I did share my popcorn with several family members & friends, and I heard nothing but 100% positive comments. All you have to do is enter below in the Rafflecopter form. You must complete the MANDATORY entries or you won't be qualified to win. This contest is open to the U.S. only & you must be 18 to enter. Please include your email with entries so I can contact you should you win. Winner must confirm win within 48 hours, or I will have to redraw, and I do NOT like doing that. Good Luck to all who enter! You will love this prize for sure. Thanks for stopping by!

I Love The New Glade Expressions Collection

Have you tried out the newest Glade Expressions Collection yet? If the answer is no, then you need to go out and get one, and give it a try. I'm one who always loves my house smelling fresh all the time. I normally light candles, but as we all know that candles can be dangerous if left unattended. This is where the Glade Expressions Oil Diffuser  &  Mist Starter Kits come in handy. The Mist Starter Kit comes in a plastic covered chic unit, with the can underneath that is refillable, and you can change scents. The Glade Expressions Oil Kit comes with a wooden beautifully designed base, bottle of oil & a felt like piece of material that locks into the oil diffuser bottle. It's simple and easy to put together.. It is a decorative item, and is plug  and battery free. It releases off the scent the minute you click it in to the base. I absolutely love these.Of course I had to choose Pineapple & Mangosteen They are cheap and easy ($5.98 at Walmart) ,and you can even find a coupon by clicking here.

The Glade Expressions Oil Diffuser Starter Kit & The Glade Expressions Mist Starter Kit comes in these for scents,which include Pineapple & Mangosteen , Fuji Apple & Cardamom Spice ,Cotton & Italian Mandarin (Fragrance Mist Only) & Lavender & Juniper Berry . I chose the Cotton & Italian Mandarin and Lavender &  Juniper Berry for The Mist Starter Kits. These are $2.98 at Walmart, and you can get a coupon for it here.
If you purchase one kit like I did, you will find some coupons inside it towards your next purchase, and if you are a coupon clipper, you can usually find coupons in the Sunday paper, so you could end up getting this item free!!

A big thanks to Bzz Agent for providing me with these products for review. I shared some of the coupons I received with people at Walmart and a few friends of mine. My friend just purchased a Pineapple & Mangosteen Oil Diffuser Kit today, and she went right home and put it together on her stand n the living room. She has a country theme in her living room, so this fit in perfect, and she was thrilled. I also purchased a refill for my Mist Starter Kit. Today I picked up Lavender & Juniper Berry, and was very pleased with the scent. I normally don't care for Lavender products, but this was just lusciously perfect. These kits can be purchased in any Walmart, Target, local grocery stores and drug stores in your area. Feel free to stop by Bzz Agent on FB, and check out some of the positive feedback and reviews given by folks who have tried the Glade Expressions Oil Diffuser & Mist Starter Kits. I'm more likely to buy something when I read good reviews about the product . Thanks for stopping by!! Have yourself  happy & safe weekend!

DWTS All Stars In One More Week

Can you believe that the new season to DWTS will start in one week? I'm beyond thrilled. It feels like a life time has passed. People that know me know how very much I love that show, and have some serious withdrawls without it. Monday can't get here fast enough for me.

Who will you be routing for this season? There is going to be some stiff competition this season considering there are several mirror ball  champs , and some close runner ups. I still to this day can't believe that the Palin chick will be returning. All I can say is that ABC must be hurting for ratings.I would much rather watch Kate Gosselin Paso Doble. Of course we will be hearing from Momma Palin too this season. I can do without the both of them. I'll try my best to blog each week as the season passes. I 'm team Tony & Melissa this season,  and of course I would like to see Maks grab a win also.

I would love to hear from you week to week , and your thoughts about the show & the contestants. Feel  free to say hello!! I always love reading all of your comments. Thanks so much for stopping by!

X Factor Is The Show To Watch

Did you happen to watch the premiere of The X Factor last night?If you answered no to this, then you sure are missing out on one AWESOME show. Not only is it a show where you see some very talented singers, there are a few wackos here and there. If there weren't a few wing nuts here and there, then the shows ratings wouldn't be through the roof like they were lastight. From what I read, I understand that The X Factor killed The Voice in ratings. Don't you just hate it when more than one of your favorite shows are on the same night & time? I hate it so much!!

After last season, Simon cleaned house with the judges & the nasty host named Steve. I couldn't stand that guy, nor Nicole Sherzinger. She wasn't fit for the job at all. She could not give constructive criticism at all, and she did not like to break the bad news to contestants, which is what she exactly was hired to do so. I happen  love the new judges this season. While I still don't understand why Simon let Paula go, after she was good friends with him, I do understand why he made the choices he did.

Simon Cowell is a genius! He is a very smart and knowledgeable guy. He surely knows the industry very well,and he knows how it works & what makes it works. While some might have thought he was a bit obnoxious on American Idol, I enjoyed his comments, and appreciated him being very straightforward & to the point. If he thinks you deserve a chance he will go out of his way or you to get that. Look at last season when he went back for Melanie Amaro,after he sent her packing. He knew he made a mistake, and he went and brought her back, and not only did she soar through the competition, she also was the winner, and took home $5 million dollars & recording contract.

I think this season is going to be great. I was a bit unclear in the beginning a to why he would want Demi Lovato & Brittney Spears, but I know now why Those two are stars, and have a huge,very huge following. LA Reid, is also the best f the best in the business, and the CEO of Epic Records Between Simon & LA, they an spot a star far away, and they jump on it when they do. I never realize that Demi Lovato was only 19 years old I thought maybe 25 or 26. She is very mature for her age, and comes across as a very fair judge who gives constructive criticism, minus telling every contestant they are cute. Ewww... Brittney came across as  very smart & sassy judge too. She surely doesn't beat around the bush, and she said that she would want to be told how to improve, if she was auditioning. Some of her faces are a bit awkward, but she is one heck of an addition to the show. I really anticipate ratings through the roof this season. I think all of the judges get along well, and will work well together. Simon showed last night that he is the soft & caring side to Demi.

It seems that The X Factor has got off to a great start this season, but as we all know of the rumors going around that Khloe Kardashian Odom might be the new host on the show. What the hell is Simon thinking? Leave well enough alone Simon. He said last night on the show that he will be hiring 2 hosts, which Jimmy Kimmel told him hire 2 of the Kardashian's, and we all can sit back, an watch a train wreck happen.I think Jimmy is right about that. I do like Khloe the best of the sisters, but I think we see, and hear enough of them on TV each day. As I said before Simon is a genius, and knows the business well and how to make it work, so  sit back each week and watch Mr. Nice Guy each week, as his TV show sky rockets & his bank bundle gets even larger . I know one thing, and that is "I Love Simon Cowell" and can't get enough of him. What are your thoughts on the show?  fell in love with the Bieber look alike last night I think his name was Reed Deming, and he is only 13 years old. With the right vocal coach he will go far for sure. Just wait and see. Thanks for stopping by!

Sephora Has The Best Makeup Ever...

I visited Sephora a few days on my birthday to collect a free birthday gift thanks to Sephora! I received the Sugar Kisses Mini Lip Duo Birthday Gift. Inside was 2 Mini Lip Balms, 1 Mini Sugar Lip Treatment  SPF 15 & 1 Mini Sugar Rose Tinted Lip Treatment SPF 15. I recently became a fan of Sephora products, and when I visited the store I was in heaven! Who doesn't like splurging makeup on themselves? Here is a picture I received below on my birthday for being a Beauty Insider.

These lip balms are fabulous. I have problems with dry and chapped lips lately, and nothing seems to help, until I recently tried Fresh Mini Sugar Lip Balm. This stuff was fabulous, and comes in a neat package design. It fits in my purse perfectly. Sephora carries everything from makeup, nail polish, and they even have a line of fragrances. Christmas is around the corner, so start stocking up on gifts and stocking stuffers now. You will not be disappointed. As a Beauty Insider, you will earn points, and when you get to a certain amount, the store will give you a free gift depending on the amount of points you have. Sounds good right?? Thanks to Sephora for giving me the chance to try this awesome product! You have a new customer for life!!

Hope Your Enjoying Your Labor Day !!

Hope everyone is enjoying your long Labor Day weekend! What are you this weekend? Did you go to any parties or picnic? Not much going on for me. I went and had some fun doing some shopping with a friend.I always like going out and catching the sales. The Coach Store is one of my favorites. How can you beat the deals ad steals? I hope everyone is having fun and being safe. If your drinking, then be responsible and call a cab, or have a friend drive you home. Watch out for others on the road, as people tend to drive a bit reckless around the holidays, like the party is going to end if so and so aren't there! Enjoy your Labor Day and the lovely weather. It won't be here much longer. Thanks for stopping by! I adore all of my followers!!
