CLOSED Giveaway! The Rattles CD (3 winners)!

Congrats #4, 16 & 25

New York, NY – Hailing straight from the swamps of Central Jersey, an eclectic band of anthropomorphic critters known as The Rattles are preparing to roll out their debut studio album ‘RATTLE ON’. Working in the classic traditions of The Beatles, Moxy Fruvous, The Monkees, and They Might Be Giants, The Rattles apply a fresh fusion of classic rock and power pop that is sure to appeal to fans of all ages and put them on the map.

The unique animal collective consists of four stellar musicians and life-long friends – Gus, Kitty, Sal, and Hal – who describe their upcoming release as “the album we were born to make”. From start to finish, ‘RATTLE ON’ provides a solid testament to The Rattles’ undeniable musical ingenuity, jammed with catchy pop melodies and feel-good vibes that are sure to inspire lots of head swaying and booty-shaking.

With their trusty manager Benny and a devoted legion of roadies all named Elvis in tow, The Rattles intend to take their show on the road and connect directly with the people who inspire them most – the fans. With such a distinct background and a colorful collection of grooves, The Rattles are shaping up to be one of the most intriguing new music acts of the year.

The Rattles debut CD will be released August 17, 2010. Listen to 'Wavy Lane' by The Rattles here. Check out their official website for music videos, games and fun stuff.

My Review:
The Rattle's music is fun, unique and great for kids of all ages. I really enjoyed listening to the classic tunes with new catchy lyrics. I also definitely appreciate that The Rattles music is not annoying like many other kid's songs. I can sit and enjoy the music with my kids and even find myself singing along to several songs. This is a perfect CD if you want something new and different to listen to with your children.

CLOSED Review & Giveaway! 'The Modern Girl's Guide to Sticky Situations' by Jane Buckingham (3 copies)!

Congrats #2, #15 and #32
The Modern Girl's Guide to Sticky Situations by Jane Buckingham, published 2010, Avon

About the book:
"This is the book to grab when . . . you're pulling your hair out, screaming like a banshee, blubbering with frustration, or hyperventilating because you just don't know what to do!

Jane Buckingham, author of The Modern Girl's Guide to Life, is back with a collection of helpful quick fixes for the deserving gal with the best intentions who gets caught in sticky situations. Here are warm, witty, and eminently wise solutions to those everyday problems that pop up as a result of impulsive actions or just plain bad luck—helpful hints on what to do if you:

• Send an e-mail you instantly regret
• Botch your self-tan
• Discover your best friend's husband is cheating on her
• Break your corkscrew while opening your only bottle of wine
• Run into your ex and need to look hot, fast!
• Are expected to name your baby after a family member with an awful name

And that's just a small sampling of the scenarios for which Jane Buckingham offers solutions in The Modern Girl's Guide to Sticky Situations. So if you find yourself in a pickle . . . just leave it to Jane!"

My review:

The Modern Girl's Guide to Sticky Situations has little tidbits of advice and information about a broad range of topics. I found this book very useful, with advice ranging from how to unclog your drain naturally, get rid of spiders, recovering after a drunk dial to how to deal with not knowing anyone at party.

I really appreciated Jane's humor and personal anecdotes throughout the book. It was a light, easy read that left me feeling informed and entertained. The Modern Girl's Guide to Sticky Situations would make a great gift or book you can read a little at a time.
