I hope everyone had a Happy Healthy Thanksgiving! For me it is quiet time with loved ones, a time to relax and reflect on blessings. One of the blessings I am thankful for this year was the opportunity to start my own skincare line "Get Glowing". So in the spirit of getting ready for the Holiday Season and all the shopping that goes along with it, I wanted to fill you in on my Get Glowing"Cyber Monday / Holiday Promo".
One of the main reasons I started "Get Glowing" was to help people. Now that Black Friday has passed, Cyber Monday is here and Christmas just around the corner, I want to be a blessing. How am I doing that? By offering 15% OFF entire order NOW through Midnight Monday December 24th.

All I want for Christmas is - people to stop acting like the world is going to end!
I know this is "supposed to be" the season of peace, joy, love and giving - yadda, yadda. Well, for some reason some people in my neck of the woods sure didn't get the memo. I don't know if it's the economy, Hurricane Sandy or that Obama is still the president and either some people are pissed and others are still high on wacky weed and claiming residency in Colorado but still living here or what. All I know is that little thing known as "The Christmas Spirit" sure has been missing round here.
What am I talking about? Well, let's put it this way, I was quite literally accosted the other day while walking into the post office. Yes you heard me right. Picture this. My sweetie drops me off with arms full of packages and cards to be shipped when all of a sudden a guy in a large SUV starts backing up and almost hits our car. Next thing you know he's jumping out of his car screaming at us and calling me everything under the sun. For those of you who know me, you'd be proud to know I just sat there and grinned while I waited for my sweetie to come back and join me to get in line. But then this jerk decided to jump in my face and almost knock me over while calling me the "C" Word. Then I flipped and had to do something ( I mean he was an inch from my Greek noggin and flailing his arms in the air like he was going to hit me...) So I kicked him in the shin of course, he had it coming and besides I had to get him away from me. I mean what in the Heck in the World is wrong with people?!?
All I know is Christmas is not what it used to be. Sure, I'm not a kid anymore but really, when did Christmas become all about ruining Thanksgiving and starting 24 hour shopping hours before the turkey was even carved? Don't forget the week-long black friday and cyber monday deals, X-Box lines and Neimen Marcus at Target? Seriously, this is insane!! Who in their right mind cares about Neimen Marcus at Target? Anyone who waited in line overnight to buy a Marc Jacobs glitter purse from Target needs to get their head checked.
It's like you would think the world were coming to an end and they had to get the last deal of their life. Newsflash - the Mayan's were wrong people!!! Get over it already. Life will go on regardless of if you get that Nook or Kindle. This just begs the question, Where is the fire? It's like there are a bunch of mind-numb robots on crack driving like they are in a Nascar race in the Target Parking lot. Which is what caused my mom to blurt out in frustration, "What is with these stupid Christmassholes!?!?" Which caused me the Greek Girl to choke on my coffee and nearly get in a car accident; yes another one! That would be the last thing I needed this Christmas.
So this Christmas we are in protest of this nonsense and how chaotic and out of touch everyone is. Instead of a Christmas wish list and musically choreographed Christmas lights we decided to not put up a tree or do any sort of decorating. Instead we are just spending time with family and remembering to stay away from the muckery at the malls. But most of all, we are keeping in mind the most important thing, that JESUS is the "REAL REASON" for the season people.
In the meantime if you want something to help put a smile on your face and break the monotony of the Christmas muckery, here is the "Ava The Diva" Christmas Cartoon episode for your viewing pleasure.
Cyber Monday, shop til your mouse drops, or carpal tunnel whichever comes first...
Well friends if you have spent any time on the computer this weekend I'm sure you couldn't miss the ads bombarding you for Cyber Monday. Cyber Monday?... Um it is still Friday (at least it was when I started typing this blog) Seriously?... Not to be a Debbie Downer or anything but I have to ask - What is becoming of us as a society, really. Is nothing sacred anymore, or is it just me? I mean my leftover cranberry sauce and sweet potatoes are not even gone yet, and the media has already gone gaga over Christmas or shall I say the glorification of the "commercialism" of it.
Now, don't get me wrong the Greek Girl loves shopping just as much as anyone does. What gets me is the fact that the meaning of the holidays is getting lost entirely in the whirlwind of shopping, decorating, shopping online and everything the media tells us we "should or could be doing" or better yet buying. I hate to have to be the one to point this out, but there are just some things that can not be put into a package and placed underneath a tree. What ever happened to spending time with the special people in our lives who make our lives worth living? How about taking time to reflect about what we have to be thankful for and how blessed we are. I don't know about you, but when I heard about the "Pepper Spray Mom" in California my noggin almost burst. What in the world would possess an individual to do such a thing? And this woman is raising children mind you, (scary thought). Think about it, she pepper sprayed people over an X-Box. I hope they do find her and I hope they lock her up and through away the key. What kind of example is that to her kids?... "Oh it's ok honey, this is how you get what you want in life, you just hurt other people as long as you get what you want"... Sad.
I know some people enjoy the thrill of the deal and all the power to them, I love a good deal (just ask Mr. Bricks when he is looking for me and I'm not answering my phone because I'm at Kohls spending my hard earned Kohl's cash) ;D but... when the shopping gets out of control it just really makes me wonder. This year some stores opened as early as 9pm... on Thanksgiving Day. I mean I know the people who work in retail know they are going to have to work holidays, etc. but what about letting people have a little time to relax. Just my humble Greek Blonde opinion.
Anyway, as for me I stayed home on Black Friday and I will be home on Cyber Monday, but not typing away on my keyboard for deals. I will be typing away to drive my fans from all my social media to visit my kickstarter campaign. What?!?!?... you still have not gone to pledge yet?... What in the world are you waiting for? You can be a part of making my New Album for just $1.00 download and you get a cool song to listen to while you are spinning through the mall or while you're staying home like me! ;-D (Click the link below to learn more and get involved)
Christmas is not about the gifts. It is about Jesus, it is time to love your family, friends and cherish the short time we are here on this earth. To make memories and to give to others, yes some people chose to give presents and there is nothing wrong with that, I just wish it would be a little less commercial I guess. Anyway, I wish you a beautiful blessed day!
