Exciting news! Celine Dion to Perform Original Song "How Does a Moment Last Forever" for Disney's Beauty and the Beast! #BeOurGuest #BeautyAndTheBeast


Are you ready to see Disney’s Beauty and the Beast? The live action version of the beloved animated film is coming to theaters soon, and I just heard some exciting news! Five-time GRAMMY® winning and best-selling recording artist Celine Dion will perform an all-new original song, “How Does A Moment Last Forever,” for the sound track! 

The song is written by eight-time Oscar®-winning composer Alan Menken (“The Little Mermaid,” “Aladdin”) and veteran lyricist and three-time Oscar winner Tim Rice (“The Lion King,” “Evita”), “How Does A Moment Last Forever” is an emotional ballad about holding onto life’s precious moments. Portions of the song are performed throughout the film and interpolated into the underscore before Dion’s full-length version debuts in the film’s custom main-on-end title design.
 
Songs for me make the movie, and Celine is great at what she does and she is a pro at making songs that fit the mood. Do you remember when Celine Dion performed the duet “Beauty and the Beast” – featuring Menken’s haunting melody and two-time Oscar-winner Howard Ashman’s unforgettable lyrics – with Peabo Bryson for the animated film. That song is a classic!  I am sure the new original Song "How Does a Moment Last Forever" will surely become a classic too. Be sure to pre-order the motion picture soundtrack, the pre-order is available now at http://disneymusic.co/BeautySndtrkP. The original motion picture soundtrack will be released by Walt Disney Records on March 10, 2017.
The story and characters audiences know and love come to spectacular life in the live-action adaptation of Disney’s animated classic “Beauty and the Beast,” a stunning, cinematic event celebrating one of the most beloved tales ever told. “Beauty and the Beast” is the fantastic journey of Belle, a bright, beautiful and independent young woman who is taken prisoner by a Beast in his castle. Despite her fears, she befriends the castle’s enchanted staff and learns to look beyond the Beast’s hideous exterior and realize the kind heart of the true Prince within. 
              
The film stars: Emma Watson as Belle; Dan Stevens as the Beast; Luke Evans as Gaston, the handsome, but shallow villager who woos Belle; Kevin Kline as Maurice, Belle’s father; Josh Gad as LeFou, Gaston’s long-suffering aide-de-camp; Ewan McGregor as Lumière, the candelabra; Stanley Tucci as Maestro Cadenza, the harpsichord; Audra McDonald as Madame de Garderobe, the wardrobe; Gugu Mbatha-Raw as Plumette, the feather duster; Hattie Morahan as the enchantress; and Nathan Mack as Chip, the teacup; with Ian McKellen as Cogsworth, the mantel clock; and Emma Thompson as the teapot, Mrs. Potts.

Say goodbye to the blues, and smile with a @ProFlowers Blue Monday Smiles and Sunshine bouquet #Giveaway



Do you get the blues? Sure we all feel down sometimes, it is just a part of life. It may just be  the hectic schedule getting you down or the change of seasons of the fact that it is Monday.  Blue Monday. It’s a thing. Did you know that the third Monday of January is officially "the most depressing day of the year." The holidays are over, it’s cold outside, motivation is low and failing New Year’s resolutions lead to depressed feelings. It is true that we all have times when we may all need a pick-me-up. I know there are some days that I just want to sit in and do nothing, and I know that just cannot happen. I have to head off in the dark and go to work, now that can make my Monday blue (or any week day really) and sometimes gets me down.  

Science shows that not only do flowers make us happier, they have an immediate and long-term positive impact on happiness and mood. A team of Rutgers researchers explored the link between flowers and life satisfaction in a 10-month study of participants' behavioral and emotional responses to receiving flowers. The results show that flowers are a natural and healthful moderator of moods. 100% of the participants who received flowers responded with immediate happiness, and the majority reported a positive long-term effect on their mood. Wow 100% had  immediate happiness, well you can’t argue with those findings flowers always make me happy too.

WOW! The amazing 2017 Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures Slate! #Disney


Being a big movie buff, I could not wait to hear what movies that were coming for this year from Disney Studios/ Marvel Studios/Pixar, oh what to expect? After a wildly popular 2016 releases how could things get any better? For 2016 I was very fortunate to be a part of Disney’s Zootopia release when I had the chance to interview Flash from Zootopia.  He was so funny! Just like the movie! Getting to chat with some of the talented people behind Disney’s Alice Through the Looking Glass including an interview with Director James Bobin and an inspiring girl power interview with producer Suzanne Todd and of course I have to mention at this event I was less than 20 feet away from Johnny Depp on the red carpet! We were breathing the same air!

Ok now back to the great movies of 2016…. The Queen of Katwe was one of my favorites of the year, this moving story really pulled you in and I have to admit I cried quite a few times, but it was a feel good movie too. During an interview with Oscar winning actress Lupita Nyong’o I had the most moving interview ever, much like the movie Queen of Katwe there were laughs and tears all throughout this enlightening interview.  So what is going on for the future… well… 2017 is going to be an amazing year for Disney movies! Check out the fantastic 2017 Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures Slate below:

Want to be artistic & have fun? Pick up a copy Draw and Color Your Way to a Younger Brain on 1/24/17! #Giveaway

Bestselling illustrator Anastasia Catris is a passionate advocate of art therapy and graduate of Royal Holloway, she is urging everyone to go beyond the recent calm coloring craze and train your brain as you copy, complete and color a series of animal creations—from cats and dogs to elephants and zebras in the beautifully crafted book, Draw and Color Your Way to a Younger Brain (Grand Central Publishing; Trade Paperback; 1/24/17; $15.99).
Coloring can be so much more than calming! Research shows that drawing actually helps keep your mind focused and your memory sharp. If you are worried about misplacing your wallet, forgetting where you parked your car, or getting your friend's birthday wrong, you're not alone. The most common worry of people is memory loss. A recent study by Newcastle University, featured on BBC news, showed that art therapy has greater benefits than puzzles and exercises when it comes to improving memory function. Engaging the brain in new and creative ways may be the key to a sharper, younger mind.
