Happy Monday

Happy Monday everyone! 

I have some news today! As many of you know I work with Glamour magazine in a program called Glambassadors. Basically we get an opportunity to try many cool products, write reviews and do promotions in our cities with different brands as well. Recently I was informed that after trying out one of the Olay products that my review had been chosen to be on Glamour's Glamalert website. And it is now there:

If you would like to check out the site and see all of the other things Glamour has in store you can check it out here! 

Hope you all have an exciting week! What do you all have up your sleeve? Do tell! 

Disney's California Adventure

When Uncle Sam surprised us with a tax refund, after I stressed all year that we would have to pay, we decided to take a trip to Disneyland for my birthday. 

Really is there a better way to spend your day than eating mouse shaped ice cream and immersing yourself in all things Disney? 

While much of California Adventure is under construction until this summer a couple of new rides have already opened, such as The Little Mermaid. They also have Soarin' Over California here which is one of my favorites from all of the Disney parks. 

At night the parks are even more spectacular. 

The World of Color is the nighttime show for California Adventure. Think the Bellagio dancing water fountains, mixed with vivid colors,  add in Disney classics, lasers and fire and you have The World of Color. 

This park has gotten a lot of flak since its opening in 2001 for basically being built just to be built during the Eisner years. It was criticized for not being designed up to Disney standards and missing the timeless appeal of their other parks. Currently in the process of a $1.1 billion expansion to be completed this June the park has a lot of promise. While at present time I wouldn't go to the Disneyland Resort just to go to this particular park, I do think that in conjunction with Disneyland and Downtown Disney that California Adventure provides  a fun and entertaining atmosphere. 

And Here it is Again...

The day that each year leaves me full of cake, appreciative for my thoughtful cards and gifts..and also contemplating botox. It's my birthday! I am out celebrating, but I promise to post pictures soon! 

Michael Jackson The Immortal World Tour by Cirque du Soleil

Last week I had the chance to catch the Cirque du Soleil show that was created in honor of Michael Jackson. 

Being a huge fan of Cirque du Soleil and growing up watching Michael Jackson I expected it to be full of amazing music and great dancing. Of course they delivered on those fronts, but gave so much more. The performance did not sugarcoat the negatives of Michael's life at all as they showed a younger version longing for his childhood and the adult version amidst paparazzi. During those parts anyone with a soft heart was left crying and wondering if his life would have been different had his father not forced him into the business. 

Not to worry though..the sadness was short lived as another uptempo beat would start and lead into one of his many classics. It definitely gave a complete overview of his life and made it clear as to why he is worthy of having his own show, if anyone was doubtful. Overall it was a fantastic show that intertwined ideas that Michael had wished to incorporate into the tour he was planning right before his death with the gorgeous costumes and talented performers that make up Cirque du Soleil. 

This is a touring show and is making stops across the US and overseas throughout the year. If you have the opportunity to see it I highly recommend it!
