Win Gnomeo & Juliet Gear at Not So Average Mama!

Check this out!  My girl, Brandy, went to Hollywood last weekend, walked the red carpet, and watched the Premiere of Gnomeo & Juliet.  (Thou shall not be jealous, right? hard to do!)  Oh, and did I mention she got to meet Elton, see Sharon Osbourne (she reminds me so much of Sharon!!), and all that special jazz!  <3  At least she didn't see my man, Jason for that, I'd have disowned her.  Ok, not really.

YourSphere Fun, Free, Social Network for Kids, Preteens, and Teens

You know, one of the great things about nature is that it is chock full of beautiful colors without the need for dyes and augmentation.  However, in its natural state, palm oil…
