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!!!! Below find their twitter link!

I won another prize from Dove. This time it was a Dove go fresh Revive Pomegranate Lemon Body Wash. When I received it, it was a HUGE bottle! And it smells AMAZING like all other Dove products do. 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!

Obsessed Premiere Review
I watched the first season of Obsessed and to be honest, there was so much time in between, I thought the show had been cancelled. On monday though, they showed the season 2 premiere!
First off, I'll talk about Cindee and her struggle. She worked out obsessively. Three hours a day or more on a treadmill! I can't even imagine doing a whole hour on a treadmill at this point. Cindee has childen, the oldest was 21 years old! Cindee gave birth to her first child when she was only 14 years old! I can't imagine that struggle to begin with. But in the episode she did show that she cares enough about her children in some ways. She was on the treadmill and her one son (who is autistic) was crying or having trouble and she actually shut the treadmill off to go help her son. Yes, she may not spend much time with them while she's off the treadmill, but at least she got off when he needed her. One of her exposures was to stay on the treadmill for only 32 minutes and then stop. I was so suprised to find out that she was so upset about that her hand was physically shaking like crazy. I never realized OCD could have those types of physical symptoms. For Cindee's final exposure she goes camping with her family and I was so happy to see that she enjoyed it and wasn't too anxious about it. She enjoyed it so much, it showed an update that she was thinking about getting a camper!
Now the other person on the episode was Graham. He was a germaphobe. He was always washing his hands. Hundreds of times a day. He showered sometimes 10 times a day. Graham was a recovering alcoholic and drug addict, and he now believed that anyone who drank or did drugs was contaminated or the things they touched were contaminated, so he had to take a shower after coming into contact with them. At one point Graham was showering and he got out of the shower, washed his hands (more like scrubbed his hands), and then got back in the shower! That just amazed me because I never thought anyone was that much of a germaphobe!On a side note, I think his daughter is just adorable. For Graham's final exposure he and his family went to a waterpark, where hundreds of people had been in that water. I was so happy to see that he was fine at the waterpark. He even went down the slide IN the water with his daughter! He wasn't just touching it and doing the minimum. He went all out and enjoyed himself. At the end they said that Graham's cleaning rituals had completely subsided! I think that's GREAT, because he was very bad with the cleaning rituals.
This show is interesting. It's definitely reality tv and very dramatic. I enjoy watching the show and I will continue to watch this season! And future seasons if they continue the show!

Intervention Premiere Review
I have been a fan of Intervention since I first heard about the show maybe two years ago or so. I've seen almost every episode. I find this show so interesting and I feel for those people. It's nice to see some of them get help and sad to see others screw up their lives again. I love the reality of the show though. I have never really been around anyone with an addiction of any kind, so it's so interesting to see how it really affects people so seriously.
Last night was their season 9 premiere. Unfortunately since I have a crazy schedule I could not watch it as it was premiering. I watched it online today. I love how most shows are posted online in less than 24 hours!
Last night's episode was about a mother (Donna) and her son (Josh) who were both alcoholics. Donna for 14 years and Josh for 11 months I believe. First I want to point out that they also had 7 cats like I do! Donna and Josh both live with Donna's mother. They are like best friends. It's good to be best friends with your kids, but not when addiction is involved. They make each other worse by drinking together everyday.
Donna pan handles on the street for money, but she did not even look like she was poor so I don't know why people even gave her money! That's just my opinion.
Donna's sister Candy got custody of, and took care of, Donna's other daughter Justina. Donna of course is not happy about this, which is understandable, but she should be happy that she has a sister that cares enough to take care of her daughter for her! Speaking of daughters, Josh has a daughter also. His daughter was visiting and only gets to visit once a week, yet Josh was in his room sleeping and drunk. He should not be allowed to see his daughter if he is drinking. That's my opinion.
It ended at least half well. Josh turned out okay, but his mother went back to drinking after treatment.
I look forward to seeing all the rest of the new episodes to come! I absolutely love Intervention! More reviews of premiere shows to come in the next couple days.

Twitter Wins (And Thank You's) Part 2
Well I have won many things since my last post, so I just want to give another thank you to all the companies and let you all know what you're missing if you don't enter these contests! You can't win if you don't enter!
I won a bag of Cinnamon Churros from Free Sample Momma and Rudolph Foods. Actually I THOUGHT I was only supposed to win one bag, but I received two. I have tasted them and they are SO good. They are very similar to Taco Bell's Cinnamon Twists. They taste a little different, but they are a free subsitute for now! I love them! Thanks a bunch to both of you. Their twitter links are below.

Rudolph Foods
I also won a PC Game, for the computer. It was Madagascar, from the movie. I have seen the movie, AND the second movie, and they are great. Unfortunately I have not had a chance to try out the game yet, but I'm sure once I do, it will be lots of fun! So thank you to Game Gears which is the company I won the game from. Below is their twitter link.

I also won a box of free Snickers Ice Cream bars. Of course they couldn't send them through the mail, but they sent me a coupon for a free box, and also a coupon for $1 off a box. Since they are good through the end of the year, I am going to save the coupons until my hubby comes home so he can have some. He is the big Snickers fan anyway. Thank you Snickers Ice Cream! Their link is below!
