Postcards from Joviland: Jon Bon Jovi's new songs from Napa Valley Show 8/28/12

From the BSWJBJ Private Concert at Napa Valley, last August 28th. Jon performing a new song called "Running" he made for the soundtrack of the movie "Stand Up Guys" starring Al Pacino. I absolutely LOVED IT he sounds "heavenly" and with Lorenza Ponce's violin it's the perfect combination. According to this clip Jon will be making a video for this song: can't wait to see it!!!
Enjoy!!!



Here's another new song called "Old Habits" he made for the same movie soundtrack. Watch it here

And one song for the upcoming Bon Jovi album to be released this winter. Enjoy "The Fighter"

Avon Advance Techniques Professional Hair Color : protects and nourishes your hair as you color it. How fab is that?


I tried Avon Advance Techniques Professional Hair Color System and couldn't be happier with the results. The kit is very easy to use and it covered my rebellious greys a 100%.

The first thing I noticed was the pleasant fragance so different from the regular dyes that have that strong ammonia smell. I absolute loved the protective pre-treatment (Step 1) that prepares hair so color is absorbed evenly from root to tip and protects it while coloring.



The non-drip coloring agent is nice and thick and easy to apply with the applicator. This is the only hair color that I have ever used that did NOT burn my scalp: SUCH A DIFFERENCE!!!

The Post-treatment with shea butter and Lock-in Technology is fantastic: very rich and thick and it felt amazing on my hair. After rinsing it left my hair very soft and shiny.

I loved the color: I'm a brunette and my hair tends to go brassy with regular dyes and this one didn't. I mixed 6.1 Light Ash Brown (491-210) and 7.0 Dark Blonde (499-044) and it turned out FABOULOUS: so natural and healthy looking: just the perfect shade. I highly recommend it!!!

"Hallellujah" for Jon Bon Jovi



Because I've been a fan of his wonderful music since I was a teenager back in the 80's and my admiration and devotion keeps growing with every breath that I take, I believe the only way I can open this new blog was by posting something about Jon Bon Jovi.
He's been an inspiration in my life in so many ways. His music brings joy to my life and gives me strength in hard times. The fabulous men behind the artist that faces every challenge with passion and commitment make me feel proud to be a fan.The family man, the devoted father, his generous soul, his brilliant mind and his free spirit empower me every day and always will.
I took these two pictures on the last show I attended this year at the "Seminole Hard Rock Live" in Hollywood, Florida on July 26th while he was performing Leonard's Cohen Hallelujah. In my opinion nobody covers this song better than Jon, every time I hear his cover I get goosebumps, the beauty of his voice and the magic of his performance are just "out of this world" feels like made in heaven.
For all these reasons and for many more "Hallelujah" for Jon Bon Jovi and may God bless him always.
