What is everyone doing Tuesday May 14??
Well here’s what you SHOULD be doing — coming out to BB King Blues Club & Grille in NYC to see the always hilarious WAYNE BRADY perform. (I’m interviewing him that night - tough job, I know!)
The doors open at 9pm and the show starts at 9:30pm.
The fab Lauren Simonetti of Fox Business News invited me to be a guest on her online show to share great gifts for Mother’s Day that celebs love that won’t break the bank. From Tina Fey to Jennifer HUdson to Kelly Ripa, these gifts have a ton of celeb fans. Lauren said she would probably pass by these products if it weren’t for my enthusiastic blurbs about each. The producer in the control room, Kevin Tracy, even came out with a paper and pen and told me he wrote down a few ideas for his Mom and that he was really convinced by my presentation. These are the highest of compliments!!!
Gifts included:
Yummy wine from Mommy Juice Wines
Elegant jewelry from Blue Nile
Skin serum Ocean 6 Illuminus
Bookworm Heroes from PopCap Games
Warren Adler’s “The War of the Roses - The Children”
Delish Tea of A Kind
Mother’s Day is just around the corner - what are you getting your mom?
I had the chance this week to head back to a place that has a lot of meaning in my life - Washington, DC! Well, technically I was in Arlington, VA, but it’s still the DC area. As a proud graduate of The George Washington University I have nothing but love for the Beltway.
WJLA, the ABC affiliate which broadcasts in DC, VA and MD was kind enough to have me back on as a repeat guest to share some fun Hollywood-inspired gift ideas that you can pamper Mom with this Mother’s Day without breaking the bank.
CLICK HERE TO WATCH! (Everything you see is under $100!!!!)
Along with MommyJuice Wines, I featured several fun ideas from PopCap games (Bookworm Heroes is highly addictive!), “The War of the Roses” author Warren Adler (found on Amazon), skin serum from Ocean 6 Illuminus and one of my faves, Blue Nile Jewelry. (TINA FEY IS A FAN AMONG OTHERS!!!)
Blue Nile is a fantastic website featuring high-quality diamonds and fine jewelry at 20% - 40% less than traditional jewelry stores. I love finding bargains so getting a discount is right up my alley. I didn’t know this but it’s the largest online jeweler in the world — and they have ME representing their product!!??? Super honored by that!!!
I also had the chance to have lunch with two dear friends while I was there and meet the adorable new addition to the crew, baby Arev. Look at that head of hair! She was a precious angel and slept peacefully in her stroller while her mom, Rita, and her aunt Kelley and I caught up on life, love and work. Love my girls - and now we have one more!
