No Phone Zone, Mama's Day, Art & Soul Premiere



NATIONAL NO PHONE ZONE DAY:

LISTEN TO OPRAH!!!!


Today is NATIONAL NO PHONE ZONE DAY. Oprah Winfrey and Harpo Studios are taking a stand against distracted driving, launching a new public service announcement campaign and joining forces with some of the country’s preeminent transportation safety organizations to declare Friday, April 30 th the first national “No Phone Zone Day.”

Today's Oprah Winfrey Show will be dedicated to raising awareness about the problem. “A call or text isn’t worth taking a life,” said Winfrey. “We must not allow more mothers and fathers, daughters and sons, sisters and brothers to die before we take action against distracted driving. Let’s put a stop to it now, by joining together on April 30 th for national ‘No Phone Zone Day’, and by making our cars a ‘No Phone Zone.’”

I am glad Oprah is shedding some light on this subject. We do need to take this seriously. The statistics of how many deaths have occurred because of texting while driving is alarming. So lets be aware and make a life changing decision. No more texting, talking, eating, or applying makeup while driving! Thanks Oprah for raising awareness and making this your personal plight. And speaking of amazing women. Don't forget what's right around the corner...

MAMA'S DAY:


With mother's day right around the corner, May 9th to be exact, we all want to get that perfect gift for mom to show her how much we appreciate her. So what will your gift be to the one person in this world who knows you better than anyone else and who changed your dirty diapers?? Well I have the perfect personalized gift. (Mom DO NOT read any further if you are reading this post) This year I am sending personalized M&M's to my mom. Now you can upload a photo of yourself and write out a little message that is shown on each individual M&M. So if you don't live nearby mom, she can reach her hand in the candy bowl and see your pretty little face everyday. What a great personalized gift!

Perfect for all occasions

Even rock-band Kiss got in on the action and teamed up with Wal-Mart to show their faces on the classic treat

So don't wait. Order now online http://www.mymms.com/

Here's a look at some of the stars who were on hand to support this cause.

Art and Soul, Taiwanese Sensation, and Shoe Addicts Pick of the week




YA'LL COME BACK NOW YA HEAR?!: RESTAURANT PICK OF THE WEEK


Art and Soul serves up some darn good hoecakes with house-cured salmon and caviar. I fell in love with Chef Art Smith's food when I was watching him battle it out on Top Chef Masters. Just seeing his love and passion for real southern homestyle cooking made me appreciate the heart and soul he really puts into his food. The man cooked for Oprah for pete's sake-- so ya know he knows food. He also worked for former Florida governor, Bob Graham. From the menu to the execution you wont be disappointed at this southern style hotspot. This is my restaurant pick of the week.

Taiwanese Sensation: Youtube Video of the Week


Wow when I heard this youngster sing his rendition of Whitney Houston's "I Will Always Love You" I got chills. Well, me and the millions of other people who have watched this video on YouTube. And of course you can't help but to make the comparison of the same sensationalism that surrounded Susan Boyle when she sang on Britain's Got Talent and blew all the judges including the "King of Mean"-- Simon Cowell away with her rendition of "I Dreamed A Dream" Now it's only natural that this is happening to Lin Yu Chun.

Of course most people will NOT just focus on Chun's vocals and how incredibly talented the youngster is. Instead they will joke about his bowl hair cut and make fat jokes. I'm sure some Hollywood exec will get his/her hands on Chun and give him the "Susan Boyle" makeover too. C'mon people focus on the voice!!


And speaking of THE VOICE. Where is Whitney?
And what does she think about all of this? Unfortunately, poor Whit is holed up in some hotel room suffering from an upper respiratory infection. She has had to reschedule various dates on her European tour. Her reps now say she will be postponing her trip to Manchester and Glasgow.
