Monday was a fun family night.\u00a0 We had been invited by REDBOOK<\/em><\/a> to celebrate Salma Hayek being on the November cover of the magazine and to see a screening of Puss In Boots<\/em><\/a>.\u00a0 There was also going to be a boot collection and a silent auction of women\u2019s and children\u2019s boots.<\/p>\n

We don\u2019t normally take the kids out for evening events when they have school the next day, but Reggie and I made an exception.\u00a0 The kids were really excited about Puss in Boots<\/em>. They were so eager to go to the event that they came right home from school and took a nap, since we would be out late that night. (They hardly ever take naps!)\u00a0 Honestly, I was interested in the charitable aspect the most. The kids get to experience so much that it was good for them to give<\/strong> something at an event too, so we brought a pair of boots for the collection.<\/p>\n

Once I arrived, I was personally intrigued by the silent auction, since I had never attended one before.\u00a0 The proceeds benefited the V-Day and Pro Mujer<\/a> charities, so I was bummed that I didn\u2019t get the pair of boots that had I bid on. I kept going back to see if anyone had beaten my bid, so that I could raise my price (up to a certain point, of course). I really thought that I had won, because my bid was still the highest when it was time to go inside the theater for the screening.\u00a0 Some experienced silent auction person must have swept in and beat my bid at the very last minute. Now, I know my technique for the next auction :-).<\/p>\n

Before the screening began, Salma Hayek Pinault spoke to the audience for a bit. She mentioned that being a mom to her daughter Valentina was one of the reasons that she wanted to be a part of the Puss In Boots<\/em> movie.\u00a0 In the movie, she plays Kitty Softpaws, so her outfit, an animal print Alexander McQueen dress, was fitting.\u00a0 Salma said that her character was a strong, independent female who was a capable swordfighter and dancer. \u201cShe is a little bit smarter than him (Puss),\u201d she shared. As she was talking, I kept thinking how much I liked her enthusiasm and energy.\u00a0 I also noticed that there was a cute little girl in the row in front of us who just kept laughing and clapping after every sentence that Salma said.\u00a0 When the little girl left with<\/strong> Salma, I realized that it was her little daughter Valentina\u2026how sweet!\u00a0 Later, my boys commented on how much they liked the movie and asked if Salma was the woman from \u201cModern Family\u201d (Sofia Vergara). \u201cThey have the same skin and the same hair and the same voice,\u201d Sean shared as explanation for their confusion. Yes, both women are gorgeous Latinas, but I don\u2019t think that they really look alike and their accents are very different\u2026kids.<\/p>\n

At the end of the event, we were sent home with a gift bag full of beauty products from Salma\u2019s new beauty and skincare line, Nuance<\/a>, and a bunch of other fun items. Since Reggie went with me, he received a bag too. I mentioned to the kids that I was going to give away one of the bags on my site because I don\u2019t need double beauty and makeup items. One chimed in, \u201cOh, but you DO need double makeup!\u201d (Whatever\u2026) Check back next week to see a detailed list of what was in the bags. I must say that reading REDBOOK<\/em> again convinced me to buy a subscription.\u00a0 I\u2019m an admitted magazine lover and the magazine is really well put together.\u00a0 It was a sentence on the last page that slipped the scales in favor of me buying a subscription though.\u00a0 It was one of those \u201cif, then\u201d type of info graphics and the first question (regarding whether to be good or indulge during the holiday season) was \u201cAre you okay with looking like Mrs. Claus on your holiday photo card?\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0 That made me chuckle. Granted my personal responses were not options (a. take the photo before<\/span> the holiday season or b. stay out of the holiday photo \u2013 just include the kids\/pets\/fill in the blank!), but I loved the flow of the page.<\/p>\n

In any event, thanks to Redbook for treating my family to such a fun evening!<\/em><\/p>\n<\/body>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
