The Chronicles of Narnia: Voyage of the Dawn Treader Review...

A TIMELESS CLASSIC BLOSSOMS INTO A FAMILY FILM FAVORITE

Rediscover the Mythical World of NARNIA

on Blu-ray and DVD on April 8^th

Return to the magic and wonder of C.S. Lewis’ epic world in this third installment of the beloved The Chronicles of Narnia fantasy-adventure series when THE CHRONICLES OF NARNIA: THE VOYAGE OF THE DAWN TREADER sails into Blu-ray and DVD from Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment on April 8^th. Imagination comes to life with stunning special effects that bring the vast oceans and sprawling landscapes to life.  The release comes just in time for Easter, making the family favorite a perfect gift for kids of all ages.

Precocious siblings Lucy (Georgie Henley, The Chronicles of Narnia series) and Edmund Pevensie (Skandar Heynes, The Chronicles of Narnia series), along with their cousin Eustace (Will Poulter, Son of Rambow), are swallowed into a painting and transported back to Narnia. They join King Caspian (Ben Barnes, Dorian Gray) and a noble mouse named Reepicheep in a quest to rescue noble lords who had been lost fighting evil on another island. Aboard the magnificent ship The Dawn Treader, the courageous voyagers travel to mysterious islands, confront mystical creatures, and reunite with the Great Lion Aslan on a mission that tests their characters to determine the fate of Narnia itself!

Academy Award^®-nominee Liam Neeson (Schindler’s List) is featured as the voice of Aslan the Lion, Simon Pegg (Mission Impossible III) as the voice of Reepicheep the Mouse, and Academy Award^®-winner Tilda Swinton (Michael Clayton) appears in a cameo as Jadis the White Witch.

If you like fantasy and action, this movie has plenty of both. I love how it starts out when Lucy, Edmund, and Eustace are looking at a painting and it comes to life, then they end up in the ocean and climb aboard the Dawn Treader with King Caspin. 

It's pretty interesting to watch as the evil mist makes the characters turn greedy and start fighting with each other. Eustace is constantly complaining in the beginning of the movie so it's funny when he gets turned into a dragon but then he gets brave and starts helping Edmund and Lucy fight the evil. Aslan also appears to them and in the end Narnia is saved. This is a fun movie that everyone will enjoy!

The Pretty Peacock Review and Giveaway...

Thanks to The Pretty Peacock I got to review one of their great products! They sent me their Portals Sweetheart Glass Locket Pendant with Sparking Birthstones!

The Portal Collection allows for you to wear the birthstones of your little lovies close to your heart without screaming "MOMMY!!!" These pendants and bracelets are so cute and fun!

This little beauty of glass and silver is 3/4" at the widest point. TWO, perfect-in-every-way lab grown birthstones come with it - additional stones can surely be added (this locket can hold up to 10).

This locket allows for more stones, or any other small charm or finding, to be added when you want! The incredibly secure magnetic closure offers a nice, streamlined look to the entire piece.

This makes the perfect gift for a first time mom (or a more seasoned one) and a cherished present for a grandmother - especially when a family is not quite complete! An adjustable chain from 16" - 19" is included.
 
The Portal Collection lockets are all rhodium plated. Rhodium, which is a member of the platinum family, is a metal that is durable and hard. When plated on other metals it produces a bright, shiny and long lasting silver-colored finish. This coating helps protect the silver from tarnishing, scratching, and corrosion.

The pendant I got came with some sparkling heart shaped birthstones. I love that I can add to and change what I put inside the cute heart locket! I also like that the chain is adjustable. I would love to order the adorable bracelet as well.

The Pretty Peacock first emerged into existence as a way to feed a creative soul. It has now evolved into a passion to design pieces that celebrate our loved ones, special moments - the most important aspects of life that make it our own. Each piece of jewelry is designed and created with great care, pride and lots of good juju! You will be able to feel the difference.

Here is a special code for my readers to get 10% off. Use STAYCALM11 and it's valid until 4/30/2011.

Thank you The Pretty Peacock for the wonderful products and great customer service!

Now here's the exciting part...

I get to give away one $50 gift card for The Pretty Peacock!

Shabby Apple Review & Discount Code...

Thanks to Shabby Apple, I was sent their flattering Cayenne dress to review!

Folds of bold, red jersey fabric drape from the shoulders into a ruched waist that runs from bust to hip. With more than just a basic v-neck, this fold-over neckline encompasses a trend we’re seeing a lot of this spring, giving the dress a stark aesthetic. And in a fiery red it won’t take much to stand out. This dress flatters most body types and is particularly nice for new mothers as it hides a tummy!

It's made out of a rayon/poly/spandex blend and so comfy! The dress looks amazing on--Shabby Apple sure does know how to make a woman look and feel incredible!

Shabby Apple offers quality dresses in all sizes and even has a stunning maternity line. They have a dress for every style and every occasion.

Also I am excited to share a discount code with my readers... use the code tryingtostaycalm10off for 10% off and it's good until April 28th, 2011.

Thanks Shabby Apple for the awesome products!

Tooth Fairy 2 Movie Set visit with Larry The Cable Guy at Universal Studios Florida...

This week was so exciting for me!! I got the opportunity to go to Florida and visit the Tooth Fairy 2 movie set! Diva Limo service was holding my name up on a sign when I got there to welcome me.


The first night I got spoiled with a gourmet meal at Emeril's Orlando restaurant! I loved the atmosphere, and the dinner was incredible!

Here I am above with Jennifer, from Fox Home Entertainment, and Wolf, the Unit Publicist for Tooth Fairy 2. They are both awesome and great to hang out with! 

The next day we went to the set at Universal Studios, Florida. First, we got to question the animal trainer and meet Crusher, one of the piglets they are using in the movie. I was impressed by all Crusher could do, he is so adorable!

Next I got to hang out with Alan Blomquist, the producer for Tooth Fairy 2! He was great and shared his very inspiring stories. 


Alan thank you for all the time you spent with us. I really enjoyed the tour you gave us of Larry's tour bus. Wow, that's the way to travel! Next time my hubby and boys want to go camping I need something like that to hang out in :)

Next I got to hang out with Larry the Cable Guy! We got to interview him. I was dying to ask him what his wife thinks about him in pink tights and a tutu. He laughed and said, "She thinks it's pretty funny." 


Thanks Larry for making my visit so fun and exciting! It was awesome how welcome you made me feel! 

Next we headed off behind the scenes of this great production... It was so exciting to be there while they were actually filming! Having Larry the Cable Guy in Tooth Fairy 2 is going to be hilarious!!

Check out the video below...

More about the movie: 
Tooth Fairy 2 finds Florida car repairman and one-time Metro County Miracle bowling champ Larry Guthrie (Larry the Cable Guy) having one bad day. He just learned his ex-girlfriend, schoolteacher Brooke (Erin Beute), plans to marry his arch-enemy, a local politician (David Mackey). When Larry shows up at Brook's after-school program to talk her out of it, his big mouth lands him in trouble as he inadvertently breaks the news to a child that the Tooth Fairy is just a myth. Now, unless Larry collects 20 teeth in 20 days, the Tooth Fairies are going to erase his greatest memory. And unless he can prove to Brooke that he's a changed man, he's going to lose her forever.


I'm not sure of the exact release date yet. I will post more about it when I find out. I am honored to have been able to see some of the making of the movie. I can't wait to see the Tooth Fairy 2 movie when it comes out! It's going to be so funny!


This was a great trip hanging out with incredible people! Thanks again to all that made it possible! What a fantastic experience!
