Cooking Shows in Action DVDOkay... so I'm halfway through Jillian and she covers a TON of product in her demo! I don't even cover half of that!!!!! OMG!!!!

Okay... time to revamp the demo here!!!!

Question for you all... I just got the new consultant tote and plan on breaking that puppy in this week! But my Tool Turnabout doesn't fit in my tta tote... is it just me? Anyone else have this problem? Therefore, I don't take it to shows but I'm looking at what she has with her and I am blown away!!!! What do you all think?
 
I haven't got the video yet.
But if you are talking about the tote for the tool turnabout, I always have trouble zipping mine up. It doesn't fit well.
 
Watched this movie with my hubby last night from Netflix. Was prepared to leave at anytime and go play on the computer. I'm not a big fan of westerns.
I liked this movie! I think its nominated for something or was. Russell Crowe is fine- but the father and son in the movie are what made it for me. Kinda bloody- I just close my eyes.
 
Cool. It's been on my list to rent. I really like Christian Bale.
 
I wasn't familiar with him before this movie- but he was really good.
 
:o:oI'm embarrassed to admit it, but I just watched the DVD yesterday. I was amazed at the products that Jillian showed. I wonder if she really shows that many or if it was for the DVD? Learned some great tips though!
I didn't pay as much as attention to it as I probably should have, I had it on while I was attempting to clean my desk, so it'll be my homework for the next week.
 
UGH! I have to call HO. I still do not have my DVD.

I love the DVD and am doing basically the style of the 2nd segment gal. It is workign very well. Jillian's is very similar to a standard show and if I am going to do a real CHANGE I need to do the format difference that you see in segments 1 or 2. Can't wait to do my next show on Sunday with the interactive format.

Also, I thought it was just me with the tool turn about bag....it was released when we still had the white turnabout...when it was updated, it no longer fits well. PC really needs to address that issue I don't take it cause it is to frustrating to load and zip it.
