The breathtakingly beautiful breakout star of NBC’s hot new show “Siberia” (premiering Monday, July 1st at 10PM ET), Miss Universe Runner-Up, Model & Cover Girl, Entertainment Producer, Philanthropist and “rumored” new cast member of Bravo’s “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills,” Joyce Giraud is heating things up this summer in the drama series “Siberia” about a fictional reality TV show where 16 contestants are dropped into the remote Siberian territory of Tunguska where bizarre and terrible events begin to occur (think “Lost” meets “Survivor”), playing ‘Carolina,’ a Colombian refugee coming out of hiding from the drug cartel that murdered her parents to compete to win money necessary to save her ill uncle’s life.

“SIBERIA” TRAILER

Just two weeks after moving to Hollywood following the success of her acting debut in the leading role of ‘Dona Flor’ in a modern version of the classic CORALITO TIENE DOS MARIDOS, Joyce landed a starring role in “Good Vs. Evil” (USA NETWORK), followed by a co-starring role in “The Freddy Soto Project,” a featured role on “The Suite Life of Zach and Cody” (DISNEY), and as a regular on the hit series “Tyler Perry’s House of Payne.” In addition to her work on the small screen, the Puerto Rican-native has ignited the silver screen where she has proved her versatility, strength and undeniable appeal working alongside Eric Roberts & Michael Jackson in the feature film MISS CASTAWAY, showing her softer side as ‘Claudia’ in LATIN DRAGON with Gary Busey, fulfilling one of her childhood dreams appearing with Lynda ‘Wonder Woman’ Carter in SLAYER, and most recently in David Fincher’s THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO with Mara Rooney and Daniel Craig. Joyce was a correspondent/host for several versions of E! Entertainment Television’s “Wild On” series, and has been featured on Access Hollywood, Extra and ENTERTAINMENT TONIGHT. Joyce has also hosted various internationally televised specials and concerts.

After being discovered in the drive-thru of a KFC restaurant, Joyce quickly became an international top model with countless national and international magazine covers & commercials, including the lead role in a national Coca-Cola commercial campaign directed by Bryan Singer, and was named “Best New Star Model of 2000” by the nationally televised talent show “Destination Stardom.” An accomplished beauty queen, after being crowned 1998 Miss Universe Puerto Rico Joyce placed 2nd Runner-Up in the Miss Universe Pageant; in addition, Joyce won the 1994 Miss World Puerto Rico, 1996 Queen of the Atlantis International, and 1997 Miss Venus International competitions. Recognizing the great platform that pageants provided her, Joyce launched the QUEEN OF THE UNIVERSE Pageant last year, an international beauty pageant without the restrictive rules in regards to marital status, motherhood, and sexuality accompanying other competitions, to provide women with an opportunity to promote their charity work and build a platform to materialize their dreams.

Are you a dog owner? Spending too much for your pet when you can save a lot of money and still give the best for them? I'm always thinking of ways to save money for our family. I have compiled a list of cost-cutting methods that will ease your wallet and keep your pet healthy and happy as can be.

DOGGY TREAT ALTERNATIVES

Dog treats are expensive. Many dogs love treats, but you don't need to buy doggy treats every time to keep them happy. You can provide them healthier choices by giving them the same fruit and veggies we eat. You can also make homemade dog biscuits. Do an online search for dog treat recipes. There's a lot of info you can find on the web.

DO YOUR OWN DOG GROOMING

Don't be lazy. I know it's not an easy job, but it will save you a lot if you groom your dog yourself at home. If you don't have your own backyard, you can find a facility that provides dog baths or even a self-serve car wash station. I've seen people do it.

DOGGY BEDS

Why would you spend $25-$50 on a doggy that lasts a year when you can use a bed pillow for as cheap as $5? I don't need a super fancy dog bed, but as long as they are happy and comfortable, it's fine with me. You can use an old quilt to cover it.

USE COUPONS

Whenever I can, I use coupons to save money on pet food.

TRAINING

Unwanted dog barking behaviour can be frustrating and annoying. Dog bark collars are a training aide to help you curb nuisance barking. Dog bark control collars work by providing your dog an instant correction. When a dog barks, the bark is detected by a sensor that picks up vibrations of the vocal chords, or a microphone that picks up the noise. The collar corrects the behavior by responding with a correction. With the collar and a little training, the dog quickly learns that barking earns him an unpleasant correction and reduces or eliminates the problem behaviors.



Disclosure: This post is sponsored by Dog Bark Collar Store. I received paid and product as a compensation in exchange of my post. Any expressed opinions are my own and personal thoughts.

Announcement: A few had not complete the task so the final winner had to be re-drawn. The lucky WINNER for Mia Mariu Rejuvenate Your Skin Anti-Aging Pack Giveaway that ended June 23rd, 2013 are..... (drum roll, please).



Congratulations to  Cindy Barr (#149)


I have sent you an email. You have 48 hours to respond. Thanks everyone for participating in my giveaway contests.

Shot by filmmaker Lisa Cholodenko (The Kids Are All Right, Six Feet Under), the Almay commercial features an intimate moment with Kate Hudson. Check out the behind-the-scenes of the commercial for new Almay Smart Shade CC Cream below.





Almay® Smart Shade CC Cream™ Complexion Corrector Wish one product could enhance your complexion today, while working to improve the clarity of your bare skin over time? New Almay Smart Shade CC Cream ™ Complexion Corrector instantly diminishes the appearance of imperfections, pores, dull skin tone, fine lines, wrinkles and discoloration. Upon application, the multi-benefit formula covers darks spots and immediately brightens the skin.

Like a BB cream, Almay Smart Shade CC Cream combines the benefits of skincare and makeup, but works even harder to color correct for beautiful, even skin now and over time. In as little as two weeks, users reported improvements in the clarity, texture and brightness of their bare skin. After eight weeks, 83% of users reported their bare skin tone looked more even, and 85% reported their dark spots were visibly reduced. The cream formulation instantly perfects and visibly corrects, while hydrating and promoting luminosity. The result is a smooth, soft, even and radiant complexion.

New Almay Smart Shade CC Cream is the latest technological advancement in the emerging skinperfecting segment. Almay’s CC Cream also helps prevents future damage with broad spectrum SPF 35 protection. Wear it alone for light to medium coverage, or as a moisturizing primer under foundation. Apply with fingertips for a lightweight feel and flawless finish.

Summer is on-the-go season! Air and auto travel are at their peak, and summer activities like backpacking, camping, outdoor festivals, picnics, and beach- and pool-going are at the center of leisure time. Having healthy, easy-to-tote snacks on hand is critical as healthy food is often an afterthought during this busy season, when it’s tempting to stop at the convenience store on the way to the pool and grab junk food!

Crispy Green®, the maker of Crispy Fruit – "real fruit, real taste, nothing else” – offers several varieties of convenient, on-the-go snacks with Crispy Fruit, including the recently introduced Crispy Fruit Tangerine, in addition to Apples, Asian Pears, Bananas, Cantaloupe, Mangoes, and Pineapples. Crispy Fruit comes in individual single-serving packets that are easy to pop into backpacks, beach bags, and overnight bags.

Not only is Crispy Fruit super portable, but it’s also delicious (naturally sweet and crunchy!), healthy (like fresh fruit minus the mess!), gluten-free, non-GMO, and perfect for all ages!

All Crispy Fruit products are available in the convenient "Grab & Go" 6-pack – six single-serving bags in one convenient multi-bag (MSRP: $7.99) or single-serving bags (MSRP: $1.49 each) that provide approximately one serving of fruit and 55 calories or less per bag.

Crispy Fruit is available online and through national distribution in retailers such as The Fresh Market, Harris Teeter, ShopRite, Giant Eagle Market District, Earth Fare, Martin’s Food Markets, and numerous regional Whole Foods markets. For more information, please visit www.crispygreen.com.

What is Nori Powder? Nori is a seaweed that has been enjoyed in Japanese cuisine since at least the 8th century. Navitas Naturals Nori Powder is a Seaweed Superfood. It provides anti-oxidants, protein & minterals.


Nori is best known as the sweet and salty green wrap holding sushi together, but now we've invented a delicious new way to enjoy this nutritious seaweed. Raw Nori Powder provides an easy nutrition and flavor boost to soups, smoothies and many other recipes. Nori is more than 40 percent protein, and it’s a plentiful source of fiber, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and lignans.

Benefits: It's a perfect food to add to your diet if you're deficient in any fundamental vitamins or minerals. The antioxidants, fiber and lignans in nori may contribute to healthy cardiovascular performance and boost immune function.

I use it in rice dishes to give it an extra flavor. The taste is like eating sushi and Japanese food with seawead.

Check out my previous post for further info and a recipe for Nori Popcorn.

I also received Navitas Naturals Caocao Goji Superfood, a bite-sized "Power Snack". This is a very tasty and chocolately and a very healthy snack. Healthy snacking has never been so energizing and indulgent.
