Are you a Gleek?

Hi, my name is Christy and I am a GLEEK!

If you don't watch then you are really missing out on a great show! Wanna fall in love with Glee? Then you need to get your copy of Glee: The Concert. The movie is a good way to introduce you to their renditions of great music of all times. Not only is the movie, fun and upbeat but there is a bigger message throughout. Stories of how Glee changed the lives of those "losers". Stories of those people who think they just don't quite fit in. One of a boy who embodied his GAY because of "Kurt". Or the story of a teenage cheerleader who is also a dwarf. How she doesn't let her littleness stop her from being BIG!

Some info and special features offered on Glee: The Concert Movie DVD

Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment has teamed with Shazam® to present an industry first – the premiere of the first Shazam-enabled Blu-ray and DVD with the release of GLEE: THE CONCERT MOVIE on December 20th.

GLEE: THE CONCERT MOVIE stars Lea Michele, Jane Lynch, Cory Monteith, Chris Colfer, Dianna Agron, Darren Criss, Mark Salling, Naya Rivera, Heather Morris and the rest of the GLEE cast and is packed with new exciting never-before-seen and extended performances, clips of fans’ favorite characters, exclusive extras and more.
Fans watching GLEE: THE CONCERT MOVIE on Blu-ray and DVD will see Shazam prompts on the screen alerting them to a Shazamable moment. Using their smartphones, fans can “tag” the movie when prompted to unlock exclusive content, including:
  • Song lyrics in time with the music using the LyricPlay feature
  • Exclusive behind the scenes footage not seen in theaters
  • Exclusive photos of the cast, and...
  • Trivia about one of FOX’s most popular shows
  • Offers for Glee Seasons 1 and 2 on DVD as well as Glee merchandise
Every time people use Shazam while watching the movie, their tag will live on in their Tag List, giving them access to the extras that they can “snack on” anytime and anywhere, so they can be engaged with the movie even when they’re not near a TV! Additionally, with the Shazam Friends feature, they can share their finds with their Facebook friends.
“The Shazam App lets fans interact with GLEE: THE CONCERT MOVIE in a way that’s never been done before,” said Mary Daily, Executive Vice President, Marketing for Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment. “Working with Shazam underscores our commitment to leverage technology innovations to deliver the very best entertainment experiences to fans.”
“Incorporating Shazam for TV into a DVD or Blu-Ray release is a perfect fit for what Shazam is known for – discovering more about entertainment,” said David Jones, Shazam’s Executive Vice President, Marketing. “For many years, people have been using Shazam to unlock information about the songs they love, so working with Fox Home Entertainment to give people a truly interactive experience with the GLEE: THE CONCERT MOVIE DVD is a natural next step in the expansion of what people can do with the Shazam App on their mobile device.”

I have a dream too

I have a dream...
That one day, all the nonsense drama in my life will disappear.
That somehow, through all that nonsense, pain will lull, love will grow and truth will be free.

I have a dream...
That my three sons, will grow to be immeasurable men,
That they will be successful in all their endeavors and if they should fail,
that they know to get back up and continue forging forward.
That they will find love and cherish it, as I have instilled in them, through all my trials and tribulations..they have learned what unconditional love is.
That they take fatherhood by the horns and be the men that I nurtured.
And that when I am old and cannot remember my name, they will sit by my side and remind me everyday of the woman I was, the woman I am and the mother I will always be.

I have a dream...
That I may one day forgive...
That I may somehow forget...
That I may find my true north...
That I may live the life of a "rich" woman --- rich in love, rich in family and rich in happiness.

MomTrends Spaliday with International Delights

Last Month, I had the opportunity to attend a great event at Hair Rules Salon in NYC, as part of the MomTrends Spaliday Event. At this event, we got to be one of the first to try the new International Delights Iced Coffee...which I must say, I LOVE!!! If you didn't know, International Delights, yes, the same company who makes all our yummy creamers! Is now branching out into Iced Coffee. Their French Vanilla Creamer is my fave and to no surprise so is their French Vanilla Iced Coffee. The product is due to launch this month, so please go and LIKE them on Facebook and find out where you can buy yours!





Though you can woo me with coffee anytime, MomTrends went above and beyond! Not only where they collecting donations for Toys For Tots and showing how important it is to give back to those less fortunate. But they showed their appreciation for bloggers like myself by offering some great pampering services! I got a chance to receive a FANTASTIC chair massage, a FABULOUS manicure, and a FIERCE hairdo!







Lastly, MomTrends had a professional gift wrapper on site to share some of her secrets on wrapping for not just the holidays but for any occasion. She offered us ways to wrap the odd shaped gift, how to use paper folding techniques to dress up a box and what happens when you run out of paper and only have that piece that just doesn't fit the box! I must say, she was totally intriguing and full of great tips!



I want to thank MomTrends, International Delights, Hair Rules Salon and all the other vendors on site for such a great experience! I look forward to many more!

Five Ways To Evade Your Ex....

Five Ways to Evade Your Ex


An Outrageous Romantic Comedy
Arriving on Blu-ray and DVD January 10 as an All-New Unrated Ex-tended Cut

Colin (Chris Evans) makes a habit of hiding out from his many former flings in Ally's (Anna Faris) apartment. This playful feature will give the top five ways to avoid interacting with your ex, including funny and creative ideas like changing your appearance, hiding at a friend's apartment, and putting a fake name on Facebook.

After reading a magazine article that insists if a woman has slept with at least 20 people that they have already missed Mr. Right, marketing executive Ally Darling begins to panic, thinking that she will be alone forever.  With the help of her hunky new neighbor Colin, Ally starts tracking down all her ex-boyfriends, hoping to find her real true love while she helps him escape his latest fling.  Hilarious hijinks and adventure ensues as Ally goes on her wild search for the best “ex” of her life, only to find what she is looking for has been right in front of her all along.

Avoid Their Hangouts


If you’re looking to avoid your ex, the first thing you must do is avoid all of their hangouts, because the last thing you want is an awkward confrontation. This includes the area in which they live, their place of employment, and bars, parks, movie theaters, etc. that you know they frequent. Why run the risk of bumping into your ex at a restaurant you know they love? On a positive note, this gives you a chance to explore new places, make new friends, and potentially find that perfect replacement for your ex.

Put a Fake Name on Facebook


If your ex is starting to enter into stalker territory, you might want to consider putting a fake name on Facebook. This is, of course, assuming that you have already un-friended your ex and limited your privacy settings. To make yourself virtually untraceable to your ex on Facebook, change your last name to your mom’s maiden name, substitute a nickname, or just make up something crazy to throw your ex off your scent. If worse comes to worse, you can always deactivate your Facebook page too.
Hide At a Friend’s Apartment


If you live near your ex, or if they’re just really persistent and keep showing up at your house, consider hiding out at a friend’s place. Not only will your ex not be able to find you, but you will also get to spend some quality time with one (or many) of your friends.  Staying with a friend is a great way to make the best out of a bad situation.

Change Your Appearance


This is starting to get a little extreme, but if you need to, you can always change your appearance in order to avoid your ex. Not only will this confuse and bewilder your ex, but it might also boost your self-esteem! You can try donning a fake moustache, dying and cutting your hair, losing or gaining weight, changing around your wardrobe or, if you have the money, getting plastic surgery.

Move Out of Town


Moving out of town should be a last resort in trying to avoid your ex, but it is always an option. Moving to a different city is pretty much a surefire way to avoid your ex, because you’re physically picking up your life and taking it elsewhere. Of course, this drastic move has many, many drawbacks, including having to find a new job, being further from your friends and/or family, having to find a new place to live, and spending a good chunk of money on moving expenses. You need to be really dedicated (or crazy) to move out of town to avoid your ex.
