Spotlight Monday--- Laura Gellar- Baked Body Bronzer


Good Morning TVP readers! Hoping that everyone had a fabulous weekend! Here the sun was shinning, the weather was gorgeous and it was crazy busy! All things set aside, we love life and enjoy every second of it!

Today's Spotlight Monday is a new product that I started using a few weeks ago and I have fallen in love with it!  I am not a fan of sunless tanning lotions, foams, creams etc.. The smell and the orange palms on your hands that last for a few days are just dreadful. Plus, sometimes you end up loooking like a carrot!

So, I found this little beautie on non other than QVC. No joke, I love QVC. (ha-ha) Big fan of the beauty and kitchen segments. :)

This item is fantastic! Its a huge compact with a puff, Costs $39.75 and it is baked in Italy. You simply just rub it on to your skin, wet for a darker and richer apperance or dry for a less darker look. I use dry and I have porcelain skin tone. I use it on my arms, legs, chest, neck and lightly on my face. I get a sunkissed glow and love it!  Best for getting your tanning look without the damage of uv rays. Plus, it dries quickly, does not rub off on clothes and stays on until you shower.

Let me know if you end up purchasing it and we would love to hear your thoughts about it on TVP.

I've Got A Feeling

Have you ever had one of those feelings where you really want to say something to someone before things happen? As in you forsee what will occur in the next couple of months and you want to say “Hey, I think this will happen…..” and proceed to help them in making a mistake or even worse commit to someone/something that you know will back fire. Where everyone gets hurt?


Yep, that has been me today. I just want to pull them aside and tell them. But I can’t. Why should I? How could I? I would be interfering in their decisions. Even though, I support them whole heartadely, I just see the sky darkening. We all have been there, where we are blinded by everyone and everything that is going around us. We live in that bubble and hope for the best, but we know the worst will come. So, we burry that feeling deeper and deeper hoping it will get lost and never surface.

Today I feel like this ….

Hoping that I am wrong and perhaps things will turn out to be okay.

Spotlight Monday--- The New Royals

If you have been living under a rock lately or just haven't switched on the tele. You cannot help but be in love with the new generation of royals in the British Monoarchy. We all grew up watching Prince William and Prince Harry as well as, feel the same anguish as to when the queen of hearts, Princess Diana passed away in 1997. I for one am the same age as Prince William and loved "growing up" beside him in the same era and year.  I am also thrilled that they both have found a passion and legacy for charities, helping those in need in the world as well as, doing what they love and marrying who they truly love in life.

That is what I love about these great people.. here's a glimpse on why they simply rock:

Cheers to this great new generation of royals ! :)

Spotlight Monday-- Michael Bonomo

At TVP each Monday we will be spotlighting a website, person, talent or things we love and want YOU to know about. So, for our first spotlight Monday let me introduce to you my dear friend and one of my all time favorite people Mr. Michael Bonomo.

Mike Bonomo is what I call a guy who reaches for the top in everything he does but still is rarely satisfied. Not in a bad way, it shows that he is always looking to better in his craft, art, writting and overall who he is. And I admire that about him the most. Always reaching for the top with integrity and true hardwork. That for me sums up my friend. Believe me, you all know that when I speak highly of people it is most likely they are fantastic inside and out.

Mike is a director, screenwriter, producer, guru of all horror films and a photographer and so much more.
If you live in the LA area and need an amazing photographer Mike is your man. To view his work go to his website Michael Bonomo. I know that I have some readers who live in the California area and if you would like to have Mike capture some memories for you post a comment on here with your email and I will get you in contact with him. Or email me on his website.

To view his amazing new short Film called Echo ( ladies, seriously, it is a tearjerker) go to his
Youtube Channel  I recomend you see this one in particular. Beautiful and seamless.

So, let's go and support our first spotlight Monday person, Michael Bonomo on his page and channel.
As always, feel free to post your thoughts and comments on what you think about him.
Would love to hear them.

Reminder--- Giveaway on TVP ends this Thursday,May 5-- get your enteries in! See previous post!
