Halle Berry named her newborn daughter, Nahla Ariela Aubry.
“We didn’t have a name picked out until just before we left the hospital,” Berry told the press. “For us, it was hard to name the most important person in our life until we met her.”
The 7-pound, 4-ounce girl born to the actress and her boyfriend, Gabriel Aubry, is not only surrounded by a reported $60,000 worth of nursery items reportedly spread across three homes, but her mama’s neighbor and “Perfect Stranger” co-star, Bruce Willis, showered her with baby gifts from Petit Tresor in West Hollywood.
Berry also shopped for the baby at Petit Tresor, buying everything from a $1,200 Mia Bossi leather diaper bag, to sheets and stuffed animals in “all whites and neutrals.”
Gabriel’s sister, Canadian resident Eugenie Aubry, was interviewed by People magazine about the birth of her niece. “I was so happy when I found out, she said. “It’s been a long time since we’ve had a new baby in the family. It’s very exciting.”
Are you one of those people that go to a trade show and walk from booth to booth filling up your bag with free goodies or promotional products from all the trade show booths? Do you collect pens from your doctor’s office? Keep the magnet from the veterinarian on the refrigerator?
I do. I love collecting all these freebies — it’s shameless and it’s fun. I love going back to my room after a trade show and sorting through all the free stuff I collected throughout the day.
But what about the companies handing out the promotional items? Is spending the money on these trinkets worth it? Do people look at the name on the pens or tech gadgets? Are people more likely to visit companies or stores giving out promotional items?
According to studies, the answer is yes! Recipients of promotional products are reported to have:
1. A significantly more positive outlook on your business
2. A higher likelihood of recommending your business
3. A higher likelihood of patronizing the business.
Celebrities are hopping on the eco-friendly bandwagon when it comes to everything from shopping bags to million-dollar homes. Now, it’s cars and auto accessories.
From Leonardo DiCaprio, one of the pioneers of the push toward economically efficient autos, to a newly converted Paris Hilton, A-listers are quickly becoming conscious of the environment.
It’s not only Hollywood’s younger generation that’s getting involved, either. Many old-timers are embracing the new non-polluting technologies that are being developed.
George Clooney cruises around L.A. in his Tango 600, a two-seat electrically powered vehicle. He was the first to purchase one of its kind–an automobile six inches narrower than many motorcycles with a range of 80 miles.
For many celebrities, Holy Week offers a much-needed break from the stress and chaos that come with fame. They consider it the best time to relax and enjoy, be with friends, loved ones and family.
Stars like Valerie Concepcion use the break to recharge spiritually and be with her family. She will be in Tarlac with her family since that is their tradition every Holy Week, to stay together.
Her family also follows the common way of commemorating Lent. They are very traditional. They do hear mass, but they don’t attend procession.
Holy Week is the time to reflect and then take the right direction. It’s also a time to actually go back to God’s embrace.
For some celebs, Holy Week means enjoying vacations at Hilton Head rental homes or villas with their family, plus a time to remember the suffering of the Lord through masses and prayers.
Clean, tween role model Miley Cyrus – star of Disney’s very popular Hannah Montana comedy series – sings and struts her way across an oversized stage in a series of scrupulously designed, pretty, non-sexual G-rated outfits as an arena crammed with kids scream, cheer and wave their arms from side to side.
The 3-D effect works extremely well and adults will get a big kick out of hearing six-year old Miley fans react with piercing shrieks every time somebody points a guitar neck at the camera.
Between the energetic concert sequences – during which Miley sometimes looks like she’s being stalked by enormous camera cranes – we are taken behind the scenes to speak to fans and to watch the show being put together.
There’s plenty of Miley horsing around, joking and going through her steps. Also in the frame is her dad Billy Ray, the country-and-western rocker who delivered the world the monster hit Achy Breaky Heart in the 1990s. He also pops up in the Hanna Montana series and, judging from his demeanour here, is clearly happy to spend his latter years as a smiling footnote to his daughter’s megalithic fame.
It might also be something of an eye-opener to many Miley fans to see that one of the key people behind the success of this teen sensation is a gentleman called Kenny Ortega – a middle-aged man who looks like he came to deliver the pizzas.
Lots of people really enjoy the experience of discount purchasing on the internet.
You can search for thousands of products online to find the best discounts for consumer items. You get products like electronics, computers, jewelry, high quality CAT6 products and even designer brands at a discounted price.
If you want to find unique gift ideas for a friend or loved one, you can get great bargains and products by discount shopping at an online gift store.
But before you go about shopping online, you need to allocate a budget for your shopping. An excellent means of achieving a significant savings is utilizing a pre-arranged discount coupon code. Rather than presenting a coupon to a checker as you do in a store, here you type the number in the appropriate box at checkout. By doing this, your purchase will cost you a lot less.
Before you go about buying a product, no matter what it is, always do some research. Even if you have a discount shopping code it is very important to know enough about the product before buying. Otherwise you will end up buying a substandard product which isn’t of the best quality you had expected.
When you go discount shopping, pay attention to the shipping and other charges of the items you are purchasing. You do not want to be caught off guard at the expense of the items when you go to pay for them. It is not uncommon to pay more for the shipping of the item alone as you do for the item itself.
A few years ago the only option you had for shopping auto insurance rates was to call or visit one agency after another, and fill out form after form to get enough quotes to compare.
Now, thanks to the Internet and the advent of insurance comparison websites, you can go to one site, fill out one simple form, and get multiple quotes from A-rated companies. These sites are free to use, and you won’t have to contend with an agent trying to give you an auto insurance quote and sell you his company’s policy.
After you receive your quotes, you need to compare prices. Make sure you’re comparing apples to apples by checking to see that the policies you’re comparing have the same types of coverage, and the same amount of coverage.Auto insurance companies offer a variety of discounts – security and safety feature discounts, multiple policy discounts, safe driver discounts, low mileage discounts, senior discounts, etc. Ask your insurer what discounts you’re eligible for and include them in your policy.
