A little bit of history behind Izzy Yum Yums - "The brainchild of Suzanne Komaniak, Izzy Yum Yums has evolved from a simple "favor to a friend" to an international success. The company was named for Suzanne's youngest daughter, Isabel, who, as a small infant, was a constant presence during the early developmental days of the company. Always underfoot, the beloved family pet, "Gene," a mini dachshund, is the model for Izzy Puppy Paws. Gene is the company's willing taste tester, and the beneficiary of many failed experiments." Let me know what you think and I hope that these little gift ideas ideas help!

What Celebrities are doing...Oh My Orlando Bloom!

WWE star Melina Perez was spotted at LAVO on Wednesday. The wrestling star and a girlfriend arrived just after the club opened for Label Junkie Wednesday and stayed until right before close. The two never stopped dancing, fueling their moves with Belvedere and Cranberry cocktails. The duo attracted a number of men who stopped by their table.

Females who were dining at LAVO on Tuesday night are still swooning after catching a glimpse of Orlando Bloom shirtless for a moment. The star was spotted at the Italian restaurant with a large group including girlfriend Miranda Kerr, his cousin Sebastian Copeland, Donovan Leitch and Rosario Dawson. One of his friends accidently spilled a drink on Bloom’s shirt – after a call to the flagship John Varvatos store, three new shirts arrived. Bloom changed his shirt in the middle of the dining room, giving the packed dining room a glimpse of his sexy body before donning a simple white button down.

SOAP FANS TO FLOCK TO RIO LAS VEGAS TO BID THEIR FINAL FAREWELL TO THEIR FAVORITE STARS FROM TELEVISION’S LONGEST RUNNING DAYTIME DRAMA, GUIDING LIGHT! ON DEC. 5

While adoring fans of “Guiding Light” are tearful that the longest running show in history has been cancelled, the "Guiding LIGHT” still shines on. The final episode has aired…and now the most beloved actors from “Guiding Light” are hitting the road, and making their only West Coast stop to personally thank and say goodbye to the loyal followers of the show. With sold out stops in both Pittsburgh and Atlanta , these engaging events are completely unprecedented and unique, allowing fans to see the stars they’ve watched for decades in ways they never dreamed possible.

The evening session begins with light hors d’oeuvres, followed by a musical interlude of vocal performances by the stars, where attendees are again, seeing the actors as never before. The “magic” continues as the actors reveal and expose feelings and stories that many have never shared with each other.

Throughout the day, fans will have the opportunity to participate in a silent auction with 100% of the proceeds benefiting Susan G. Komen for the Cure of Southern Nevada. Items being auctioned are priceless to “Guiding Light” fans, as these treasures are straight from the sets and dressing rooms of the show.
