I'm Moving!!

It's official, folks...I am moving my blog to Wordpress!!


After the debacle of the Blogger downtime last week, I started seriously considering the Blogger to Wordpress transfer package that Blogelina offers. I did a little reading, talked to a few people, and decided to take the plunge! After all, it's not really that much of a "plunge," since Wordpress is widely considered the superior platform. 


So, I apologize if my blog is funky (or down) for an extended period, but the good news is, it will be up and running (and more dependable) very soon. Thanks for hanging in there...and I'll be sure to share the experience once it's all done. If you are using Blogger, I know you might have questions or concerns about making the move (trust me, it's uncharted territory for me, too!). If you're a Wordpress blogger, I'm joining the family!!

Dancing With The Stars - One Week Til the Finals!

I can't believe this season is almost over! Man, what am I going to do all summer, other than enjoy the beautiful weather and hopefully spend a lot of time at the beach? 


OK, OK, seriously though, let's focus on tonight's show, where each couple has to dance THREE times. Three. Holy guacamole! Kirstie Alley looks PHENOMENAL!!! She looks so happy! And, Ralph looks awesome! What's going on here? 

First up: Ralph & Karina, doing the Argentine Tango. I thought it was great...very dramatic and intense, and technically it seemed on point. First score: 25. Not bad!

SmartMouth Mouthwash Review

I am always (seriously, always) willing to try personal care products...so when the folks at Smart Mouth offered to send me their SmartMouth Mouthwash, I jumped at the chance! I have to say, it is a fascinating concept.

So here's the deal...SmartMouth uses patented and proven zinc-ion technology to eliminate bad breath and prevent it from coming back! Yes, there are two pump bottles in the box; pump five times from each bottle into the cup and immediately rinse and gargle. You have to mix the ingredients just before rinsing because that is how SmartMouth is activated. After you rinse with SmartMouth, you can expect fresh breath for the next 12 hours. So, rinse in the morning and at night, and you'll experience fresh breath all day long! 

Want to Keep the Love Alive? That Makes Two of Us!

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of TwoOfUs for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

Do challenges in your relationship (be it a boyfriend, fiance, or husband) leave you wondering where to turn for help? Don't feel bad, because you're certainly not alone. Sure, everyone and their sister (and then some) is ready to offer "advice"...but is this the kind of objective, rational advice you want -- or need? Not always. 

Enter Two Of Us, a website that is all about relationships. Seriously, like all about relationships.

Two Of Us is a wealth of knowledge and advice about every possible topic for couples at every point in their lives. There are sections for "dating," "exclusive," "engaged," "married," and even "parents." Because, as you and I both know, the issues that face us as couples vary drastically, depending upon your particular situation in life. And, Two Of Us knows that. 

Take, for instance, the segment under "Married." The top articles include "Dealing With Anger in a Marriage" and "Staying Best Friends After Marriage." Hot topics for Married couples include "Marriage and the Military," "Romance and Sex" and "Empty Nesters." Do you see what I mean? Two Of Us truly is everything to everybody. 

I watched a brief video of an interview between Dr. Rozario Slack and author/actor Hill Harper (of CSI: NY) about hosting a "conversation party," which I found intriguing. Harper explained how party guests would write down questions that really probed the dynamics between the sexes, or got past the surface of the opposite sex...and later those questions would just be pulled randomly from a hat and they would be used to jumpstart real dialogue. This is crucial -- and severely lacking -- in a time where technology is king, where we network constantly but rarely have quality face-to-face time. 

I recommend these amazing tips on keeping your relationship fresh. What relationship questions/concerns challenges do you have, that you simply can't seem to get an answer to? 

Of course, you might want to like Two Of Us on Facebook so you can be part of the dialogue!
