I won a book called The Secret Diary of Ashley Juergens from ABC Family's Secret Life of the American Teenager twitter. I am a big fan of the show and I have watched it since it premiered. So I was so happy to win this book. I have started reading it, but not finished it. So far though, it's a great book. It's showing me behind the scenes type stuff from the first season of the show! I am really enjoying it. I can't wait to finish it! Thank you very much ABC Family! Below find their Secret Life twitter link!

I won the first season of Hoarders on DVD from the Thrifty Chic Mom's blog. I have seen most of the episodes already when they were on tv, but I can't wait to find out if there's any episodes on there I haven't seen! I enjoy the show Hoarders! Thank you Thrifty Chic Mom!

I won a purse called the Victoria from Melie Bianco. By the picture, it was a really cute purse. And I won the red version. When I received the purse however, it was HUGE! I could not believe how big this purse is! It's more like a cute overnight bag! So as of right now, I have not used the bag, but I'm saving it until I feel I want to carry that big of a purse. And my mom keeps reminding me I will need a bigger purse once I have kids, so it will eventually get used. Don't get me wrong, it's a cute purse, but at this time, I think a purse that big would just get in the way. It will definitely get used in the future! Thanks so much Melie Bianco!!!!

I have tried it out and it's so creamy and left my body feeling moisturized and soft. And I just can't say enough how good it smells! Thank you again Dove for another amazing win! I hope to win more in the future! I love Dove products! Below find their twitter link.

Old Dogs Review

I had wanted to see this movie in theaters, but never got around to going. I FINALLY got it from netflix and I got to watch it tonight. I have to say it is so much better than I expected it to be.

This movie is HILARIOUS. I can't say that enough. So many parts I've laughed so hard I'm crying. Out and out crying! Not just a few tears. I had what I like to refer to, as a laughing attack, and could not STOP laughing. Robin Williams and John Travolta are a terrific pair.

First the terrible tan and indian and hispanic people thinking he is their race! There was a part where one of Travolta's friends had a machine to control Williams movements, and he was hitting himself and dancing ballet and so many funny things! They were at camp in one part and the camp leader thought they were a gay couple, and they destroyed an important statue to the camp. Seth Green screaming like a girl in the gorilla pin at the zoo. The gorilla MAKING him sing to him! John Travolta getting attacked by penguins. The funny parts just never end.

The funniest part of the WHOLE movie in my opinion, is when the two guys pills get switched and Travolta is hungry and shoving his head in a pie, and has a permanent smile. Then Williams has problems with depth perception and is trying to play golf and it's just the most HILARIOUS part of the movie. If you don't laugh, then you don't have a sense of humor.

It's also a sentimental movie. Williams is trying to form a relationship with his 7 year old twins. After having NO parenting experience. He is also still in love with the mother of his children. His job becomes an issue in making a relationship work with his children and their mother. There's also at least one sad part, but I don't want to give anything away for those of you who haven't seen it. Luckily the movie ends good.

I recommend this movie to EVERYONE! Maybe not for like toddlers of course who aren't interested in anything but cartoons, but I recommend to anyone who love comedies. And a big plus, is that it's a Disney! Go watch it everyone!

**Side Note** I just have to say, I am now, and have always been a huge Robin Williams fan. And I have enjoyed most movies with John Travolta, and Seth Green. A suprise actress in the movie that I did not realize was in here, is from one of my favorite shows of all time. Lori Laughlin from Full House!

Hannah Montana Forever Premiere Review

Okay, I want no judgement or rude comments please. Yes, I'm almost 22, and YES I like Hannah Montana and Miley Cyrus. Yes I'm sad this is the last season for Hannah Montana.

Unfortunately I did not see the ending of Hannah Montana, but I caught the first episode of Hannah Montana Forever. So I don't quite know exactly why Miley moved or why Lilly is living with Miley.

I do know that the first episode I saw was hilarious. Jackson making jokes, Lilly being sarcastic, Miley using Hannah to get what she wants again. It's a must see in my opinion. I look forward to seeing the rest of the season. And of course catching up on last season.

"Huge" Premiere Review

When I saw commercials for this new show on ABC Family, I was interested right away. I'm not a small girl, so I thought I could relate to her. I found out by watching the premiere monday night, that I do relate in some ways, but not quite in others.

At the beginning of the episode, she does this stripper like dance, but just taking her clothes off. She has a bathing suit on underneath. She does this dance in front of the whole camp, with so much confidence! That is one thing, I don't think I could ever do.

I like Ian a lot. I have a feeling that him and Will may end up together at one point. He seems like a very sweet guy and he seems to like Will.

I thought it was really mean what Will did to Amber's shorts and made them rip in front of everyone. Amber is a smaller, cute girl, but she still seems to have issues with her looks. She seems like a really sweet girl though. I hope her and Will can become friends in future episodes. Amber seems like she needs friends.

Becca also seems like a nice girl. She did tell on Will for selling food, but in the end I think it was the right thing to do. She was trying to be a good friend. Hopefully in the future, Will can get over it and they can be good friends.

At the end of the episode Will runs away from camp because she hates it and wants to stay big and even get fatter. That's another way I do not relate to Will, because I don't want to get bigger. I would like to be healthier. I am happy that Will decided to return to camp though. I hope she can make friends, become even more confident, and get more healthy. I look forward to future episodes!
