Confessions of a Shopaholic DVD Review....

Rebecca Bloomwood loves to shop and her out-of-control spending reaches the maximum on all of her credit cards. She is forced to find a job that will help pay for her "label-icious" wardrobe. Her dream job is to work at New York's top fashion magazine Alette, but ends up settling for a desk job at Successful Saving, a struggling financial magazine owned by the same publishing company. With a persistent debt collector Robert Stanton tracking her down, Rebecca becomes the unlikely author of a column on saving money - with help from her friends at Google. Her "unconventional outlook" on money matters draws the attention of her boss, Luke Brandon Hugh Dancy and the sparks begin to fly.

Producer Jerry Bruckheimer ("Pirates of the Caribbean" and "National Treasure") presents this light-hearted, romantic comedy based on the best-selling novel by Sophie Kinsella.

I was excited to get to review this Blu-ray movie that just came out on June 23rd 2009. My hubby and I watched it and thought it was funny! We also loved that it had comedy and romance! Right before they dance he buys her a fan and she likes several and he tells her... "just one". That made me laugh because I would be like that and want them all too! The part when they dance and Rebecca has the fan really made me laugh! We both thought this was a great show!

My Review:
If you liked the first Pink Panther movie, then you will like this one also. Steve Martin as Inspector Jacques Clouseau is funny as a
french man in this movie. My hubby and boys like this kind of
humor and enjoyed this movie and had some good laughs.

Please VOTE for me on my post titled: Burdens Banished By Butter! It's the FOURTH post down!!! Make sure you leave the comment on mine!(It also says in bold "It's a tough job but someone had to do it" - with my picture). All you have to do is leave a comment saying you vote for me. It doesn't have to be long! Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeease!!!!!!

I was chosen as one of five finalists to win the Sego Lily Day Spa Blogger contest and now my fate is truly in YOUR hands as the final winner will be based on number of votes (or comments)!

I wouldn't normally BEG for anything, BUT IF I win, I receive an entire year's worth of free spa treatments valued at $3000 and I become the Sego Lily Blogger!!!! Yep, worth begging for!! All I have to do is blog about each spa experience! Sounds like a dream job like no other! But in order to win, I need your vote! Do I sound like a politician or what! I am not sure, but I think you can vote as many times as you want.

THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU!!!! ( x 10000!)
