Time to Get Funky with a Get on Up DVD Giveaway

Win This Blu-Ray DVD Combo

Last month I shared news of the upcoming release of Get on Up, the James Brown Story. Click here to check out my post. I LOVED this movie. Chadwick Boseman did an awesome job portraying the Godfather of Soul and Dan Aykroyd blew me away with his performance.

I love biopics about musicians. I really do. Purple Rain reigns supreme in my video vault with The Temptations movie coming in at a close second. I admit I wasn't fond of James Brown's music but it's the artist and the impact he had on the industry and civil rights which fascinated me. I have heard the story of how Brown was scheduled to perform in Boston one night. The night before his scheduled performance Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated and riots broke out nationwide. Fearing the worst, Boston city officials planned to cancel the concert. However, Brown, being the savvy businessman he was, played on. His concert aired live on tv and Boston remained relatively quiet that night.

Get on Up is funky from the beginning til the end and OMG I can't believe I wrote that BUT it's James Brown and for some reason the word "funky" seems to describe his music unlike any other. Check out the movie and if you've see it, what'd you think. I'd love to know.

Life is a Beach Giveaway Hop

Spring is in full swing. The birds are singin'. The pollen is falling and temps are FINALLY warming up. So what better time time to start planning our Summer getaways. This year - as always - we are beach bound. It's one of our fave places to visit given we only get to the beach once or twice a year. Last year's visit to Cozumel was one for the record books. We stopped by this little restaurant and dined on grilled shrimp in a cabana right on the beach. 'Ohana also has a line of tequilas in flavors I had never seen before. Tropical flavors such as coconut, mango and pina colada. Hubby and I tried the 'Ohana peanut butter tequila. The owner said folks either love it or hate it... we LOVED it!!! As I was sipping all I could think of was how good this peanut butter tequila would taste as a baste on my tequila wings. It would be like a tequila satay wings type dish. * * * G I V E A W A Y * * * One lucky Three ...

The regular price is $10 so to find them on sale for 50 cents was a deal. We cleared the shelves. A few rows down we spotted some anima...
