Free stuff! And it’s good stuff.
Hello friends!
I’ve got a great prize to give away full of stuff I love just in time for Mother’s Day!
It includes a great Cuisinart Power Trio Hand Blender which also comes with a mini food processor attachment, and a Conair curling iron.
The kind people at Coty are throwing in some Philosophy skincare, perfume, and nifty [...]
The Pay Chen Show
(That’s the name because I couldn’t come up with a fun and original one.)
I’m excited to tell y’all that I’m going to be hosting my own radio talk show on Newstalk 1010 Sunday nights from 8-9pm.
