roxiejmp says "Better Than Ezra's new album is 100% worth it!" about Better Than Ezra - Plays Paper Empire

roxiejmp — Mon, 08 Jun 2009 14:05:04 GMT

So I pre-ordered Plays Paper Empire, Better Than Ezra's new album and it is unbelievable. Anyone out there who is an Ezra fan will love it! They have a great variety, and added a little bit of a new sound.

I have to say that my favorite song off the album is "All In". It has a great tune and you want to listen to it over and over again.

I went to Better Than Ezra last night at the House of Blues and of course, they did not disappoint! I've seen them three times and their shows are amazing! Hung out with them for a little while after the show and they really are cool guys and it shows through their music!

I highly recommend this album if you are looking for a little mix, some slow, some fast! Great band!

roxiejmp says "Relay for Life and the American Cancer Society is life changing." about American Cancer Society's Relay for Life Carrollton, TX

roxiejmp — Thu, 21 May 2009 19:00:54 GMT

I have to give a shout out to the American Cancer Society's Relay for Life of Carrollton, TX. Relay for Life is an event sponsored by the American Cancer Society to raise money for research, and the support of cancer patients. Cancer is a devastating disease that has touched every single person in one way or another.

Relay for Life is an extremely important event where you walk overnight for the fight against caner. I particularly like Relay for Life because it raises money for all types of Cancer, it doesn't focus on one specific area. I have participated for as long as I remember and it has been worth every minute of it. I lost my mother to colon cancer, she was very young and it could have been prevented if it were caught sooner. Cancer can be defeated, especially if it is caught in the early stages but the awareness is not out there enough which is why events like Relay for Life are so important.

This year I decided to be team captain of one of the teams for the Carrollton,...

roxiejmp says "MyPoints.com causes addiction, in a good way." about mypoints.com

roxiejmp — Thu, 21 May 2009 18:12:10 GMT

I joined MyPoints.com in February of 2009 and am on the website every day at least 10 times. I am seriously addicted. I have already cashed in points for a $50 Macy's gift card.

I was skeptical at first since some sites like that don't always follow through but I was amazed by how quick I received my gift card. Not only do they have great ways to earn points for free but MyPoints.com has a wide variety of merchants that you can earn points by purchasing items directly from a specific site.

I never purchase anything online with searching through MyPoints first and I almost always find what I am looking for, especially Macy's!

Simply go to the site mypoins.com and register. You start earning points immediately!

I hope you enjoy the site as much as I do!

roxiejmp says "Sonic helps support the community!" about Sonic - Carrollton, TX

roxiejmp — Mon, 11 May 2009 15:18:30 GMT

I want to give a shout out to Sonic in Carrollton, Texas. I love their food, especially for those early morning cravings, but they also do a lot to support the community.

I am team captain for Team Yes We Can for the American Cancer Society's Relay for Life event and the manager was incredible.

He let us use his restaurant, set up our signage, and car hop for 4 hours! We got to keep all tips and donations and he was completely understanding of our lack of knowledge regarding car hopping!

I can't thank Sonic enough for their kindess and support of the American Cancer Society and Team Yes We Can! You get an A+ in my book!

roxiejmp says "Breakfast at Tiffany's is a movie you can watch over and over!" about Breakfast at Tiffany's

roxiejmp — Fri, 08 May 2009 14:03:09 GMT

I decided to write a review about the movie Breakfast at Tiffany's because recently received the Paramount Centennial Collection and had to watch this movie again for over the 100th time.

Audrey Hepburn is my idol. She was timeless and still is. I have yet to see an actress who holds a candle to her.

Breakfast at Tiffany's is about a lonely girl trying to find her way and not sure how. It is brilliant but a bittersweet look at life, love and happiness. With a secret past and an unsure future Audrey Hepburn as Holly Golightly makes you think and you can relate as well. And how can you forget the classic song Moonriver. Makes me cry everytime but if you can tell by my other movie reviews that obviously isn't hard to do.

Highly recommend the movie and everyone must see it once.

P.S. I recently had a birthday which is why I received this and my boyfriend found one of the old time smokers that she uses in the movie and had an amazing wire sculpture of Audrey Hepburn made...

roxiejmp says "I Love Marley and Me and I'm not a dog person!" about Marley & Me: The Movie

roxiejmp — Fri, 08 May 2009 13:46:17 GMT

I watched Marley and Me on Tuesday night and absolutely loved it. The only mistake was watching it on a work night led to very puffy eyes the next day.

This movie touched my heart in so many ways. I don't have a dog and am not exactly a dog person but that all changed after seeing this movie. I held my cat and would not let her go! It's amazing when you think about how much your pet changes your life and no matter what life throws at you, you know they are always going to be loyal to you!

I do have to tell you that I cried like a baby and I am so glad that I did not see it in the theater as I would have made a spectical of myself. I cried for 30 minutes after it was over, couldn't stop but it was so worth it.

Marley and Me made me laugh out loud, cry and love my Roxie even more which I didn't think was possible!

I hope you enjoy it as much as I did and remember that your animals have feelings just like you do!

roxiejmp says "You Can't Own Enough of the Marissa Fit Pants by VS" about Victoria's Secret Body By Victoria Marisa Fit Pants

roxiejmp — Mon, 04 May 2009 18:13:56 GMT

The Victoria's Secret Body by Victoria Line in pants are fabulous! I haven't found dress pants that fit this well in forever! I love the Marissa Fit! They are so comfortable and are perfect for any occasion, I own 7 different styles of the Marissa Fit.

What draws me to them the most is that I am very tall and very slender. Some may think this is a good thing but in reality it is not. 2 front clasps with a zipper, they sit low on the waist and the flare of them is perfect! Not too wide and not too slim. You will love these, especially if you are someone like me who loves to wear tall heels!!

The main reason I love them is that It is impossible for me to find pants that fit. To get them to fit me in the length is impossible if I want to get them to fit me in the waist, which brings me to my only drawback....Victoria's Secret, if you are reading this. Please make a size 0 in 34" length. That would make my life.

Overall, I am completely positive that you will be satisfied. ...

roxiejmp says "Puffiness be gone with Garnier Eye Treatment" about Garnier Nutritioniste Skin Renew Anti Puff Eye Roller

roxiejmp — Mon, 04 May 2009 15:13:07 GMT

I just purchased Garnier Eye Treatment on Friday and I love it! I am very skeptical when it comes to purchasing different brands for my skin but I was in a situation where I had no choice.

I had heard great things about the Garnier Eye Treatmen Roll On so after purchasing I tried it right away and I was amazed by how quickly my eyes weren't so puffy. I wouldn't say I have a problem with dark circles or puffiness all the time but if I am tired or I cry...look out!! They swell something terrible.

I love how it rolls on so smoothly and the simplicity is so conveinent. The only thing I would like to see differently is more moisturizing. That is a huge bonus for me when I buy anti-aging products!

roxiejmp says "I can't live without Vaseline Intensive Moisture Locking Lotion" about Vaseline Intensive Rescue Moisture Locking Lotion

roxiejmp — Tue, 21 Apr 2009 17:41:43 GMT

I have nothing but wonderful words for Vaseline Intensive Rescue moisture locking lotion! Finally I have found a hand lotion that doesn't make me feel like washing my hands immediately.

I have an addiction to washing my hands and to anti-bacterial hand gel so needless to say, my hands take quite a beating! I had tried all kinds and could't find one that didn't burn since my hands were so dry or one that I felt like I had to wash off because of the greasiness.

When I found Intensive Rescue lotion I was amazed! Fragrance free, it doesn't burn and it does not make my hands feel like I rubbed baby oil all over them!

I hope this helps! I promise you won't be disappointed!

roxiejmp says "Diet Coke with Lime gets me out of bed in the morning!" about Coca-Cola - Diet Coke with Lime

roxiejmp — Thu, 16 Apr 2009 20:29:25 GMT

When Diet Coke with Lime came out I can not tell you how thrilled I was! I had been putting limes in my dt. coke for years and now I don't have to take the time to do that.

It is so refreshing with the perfect amount of lime flavoring. I look forward to it every morning for my drive to work. I personally like to stick it the freezer for a few minutes before I walk out the door. The first drink actually makes me smile, the fizz shocks my system awake and I am ready for the day.

The only downside is sometimes it is close to 5.00 for a 12 pack so I always stock up when they have a special but I will buy it anyway if I am out.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

roxiejmp says "With superbalm moisturizing gloss I don't even need my chapstick" about Clinique superbalm moisturizing gloss

roxiejmp — Thu, 16 Apr 2009 20:11:53 GMT

Cliniques superbalm moisturizing gloss is the best gloss I have found. Finally one that moisturizes and hydrates your lips. With this gloss, you get the perfect shine. I wear it by itself or over my other favorite Clinique lipsticks.

One of the best things about the superbalm moistuizing gloss is that it doesn't feel thick and it doesn't make your lips feel like they are stuck together. I love all the colors but right now I am on Hazlenut and I love it. It has the perfect amount of tint and doesn't overpower when worn on top lipstick.

Overall, this is a must have! Your lips will be contiuously soft all day!

roxiejmp says "With the Blackberry Pearl 8130 you never miss a thing!" about Verizon - Blackberry Pearl 8130 Cell Phone

roxiejmp — Wed, 15 Apr 2009 18:29:22 GMT

I just recently purchased the Blackberry Pearl 8130 in titanium and I absolutely love it! I love having access to my email at all times and you can instantly connect to Facebook. If there are any facebook addicts out there you know what I mean.

It is slim and compact so it doesn't take up as much space in your purse for you ladies out there. I was surprised by all the features that are available for it. I have 2 separate email accounts synced to it, games, GPS, etc. It also is a MP3 player which I love. If you get a memory card for it you can store so much!

It takes a while to get used to the keyboard, especially if you are a big texter like me. But once you get used to it, you will love it.

The only downfall I would have to say is that it doesn't do videos very well. Example, March Madness, I wasn't able to watch the games on it like on my previous phone.

Overall, I think I will stick with the Blackberry Pearl 8130 for quite sometime. For someone who goes through...

roxiejmp says "So Refreshing!" about Dove Cool Moisture Beauty Bar

roxiejmp — Thu, 26 Feb 2009 19:10:44 GMT

I love the Dove Cool Moisture Bar, especially in the summer. After a hot day it is absolutely pure bliss to shower with the Dove Cool Moisture Bar. I especially enjoy the way my skin feels afterwards. It feel soft and moisturized like I wasn't in the sun at all.

The coolness of the Dove Cool Moisture Bar is perfect. Not only is it refreshing and revitalizing, it leaves you feeling like you are ready to start your day all over again.

Overall, this is a wonderful product to have in stock at all times. The Dove Cool Moisture Bar leaves your skin feeling soft, supple, moisturized and revitalized all in one! I hope you enjoy as much as I do!

roxiejmp says "A tale as old as time." about Beauty and the Beast

roxiejmp — Wed, 18 Feb 2009 19:35:19 GMT

Beauty and the Beast is one of my favorite movies of all time. Yes I am a kid at heart. But this movie is great for kids and adults alike.

From the shy Belle to the overbearing Gaston you will find pure enjoyment in this film. Once Belle meets the Beast you are sucked in until the very last minute. Chip, Cogsworth, and all the other fabulous characters keep you entertained from beginning to end. There is romance, humor and drama all rolled in to one.

Having seen this movie more times than I care to admit, a word of advice, if you are a softy have a box of tissues handy.

roxiejmp says "Hallmark does care enough to send the very best" about Hallmark.com

roxiejmp — Wed, 18 Feb 2009 15:25:33 GMT

I shop at Hallmark at least twice a week. Whether it be online or in-store. When I go into my usual Hallmark store, they know me by name and are always extremely helpful.

I love the selections that they have for gifts. They have sentimental to unusual and gifts for any occasion. I love that I can go get something for my best friend and her baby all in one place and I know that it is top of the line and always has a special meaning.

The Hallmark Rewards Program is amazing. I can't tell you how much I have saved in coupons that they send me just for spending money there. You would not believe how fast your points add up to redeem for coupons. You also get special invites and coupons. If you are not a member, I insist you become one, it is free and great!

roxiejmp says "Everything" about Ulta Beauty (store and website)

roxiejmp — Wed, 18 Feb 2009 15:18:39 GMT

I love Ulta. Talk about one stop shopping. You can get hair products, makeup, basically any type of beauty product you are looking for. I love that they have it broken up by sections so if you are looking for feet products you know exactly where to go and they have everything there.

Ulta also does in-store salon services such as waxing, pedicures and manicures. I have received several pedicures from them and they actually were able to give me a acrylic toe nail due to an unfortunate accident.

I also enjoy their gift sets and the specials they run. Top quality products for a bargain price!

roxiejmp says "My eyes do not show my age!" about Clinique All About Eyes

roxiejmp — Fri, 13 Feb 2009 15:20:23 GMT

Clinique all about eyes is an amazing product. It's gel like formula absorbs quickly and doesn't interfere with your eye makeup. It only takes a little bit to dab on. Your eyes immediately look refreshed, brighter, and if you have a problem with puffiness, this is the product for you.

I have used this product since it was released and love it. People are always commenting on how young I look and it makes me feel wonderful!

roxiejmp says "The mango Bellini" about Bellagio - Las Vegas, NV

roxiejmp — Fri, 13 Feb 2009 15:15:58 GMT

The Bellagio is fabulous. From the fountains to the inside, everything about it is first class. The shops are amazing, restaurants are delicious and the clubs are a blast. The fountains are amazing and you truly can't imagine it until you see the show in person. Will never stay at another hotel when I visit Vegas!...

roxiejmp says "The hydrating conditioner has mint and makes your head tingle." about Pureology Hydrate System Duo

roxiejmp — Fri, 13 Feb 2009 15:10:23 GMT

I love Pureology so much that I did a fashion show for them and let them cut 10 inches off my hair. Their products are amazing and the conditioner in the morning is so revitalizing. It makes your hair so soft and really protects your color and makes it last longer. Definitely recommend....

roxiejmp says "Tortellini" about MiPiaci's - Addison, TX

roxiejmp — Fri, 13 Feb 2009 15:08:12 GMT

MiPiaci's in Addison, TX has some of the best Italian food along with superior customer service. Their Tortellini is to die for. If you ever have a chance to visit, you must. The wine cellar is a wonderful place to have an intimate dinner and the atmosphere of the restaurant is beautiful....
