Season Seven is Done! #RHONJ

What a season we have had. We saw Teresa Giudice comeback to her family and friends. We saw Melissa and Teresa bury the hatchet and sprinkle cookies. We saw Jac comeback and try to move on. We met two new wives, Dolores and Siggy,  who had the hardest jobs of them all. Staying neutral in the land of the Real Housewives Jungle. We met two wonderful friends of the real housewives. Robyn and Christina, for all to short of a time.

We scored millions of viewers each and every week. We saw dinners, skiing, and vacations, one of which was fun, the other was very sad to see. We saw two husbands have vastly different views on a dinner shout down. We even saw the return of Kim D., one of the ones I believe who wanted to take down Teresa at Melissa’s expense.

We got to see a mom come home, to her family. We got to cry over and over again. We even got this housewife to write a book about her life, tell her story, on her terms. That book was a NY Times best seller.

We got to see a new fashion show take shape. We got to see how a blonde shop owner spewed tea with others around. How dare this woman do that. How dare she. And of course we got to see a daughter of a cast member put herself on display in such a bad bad way.

Season Seven was a season to remember. Season Seven saw a spinning downfall of a real housewife and collateral damage being done. Someone please help this woman, she needs it badly. We saw the rise of a real housewife coming home from camp. She rose and she choose to friendships and relationships on her terms. So stop asking about her time away, she doesn’t want to talk about it. We saw  sisters in law support each other in personal and professional ways. We even saw the start I hope of a new fashion show to replace the other one. We saw two new wives play the real housewife game. We saw two friends being supportive and caring and making sure NYE was fun.

Season Seven was a ride I will never forget. For me it all started on December 23rd, Teresa’s release day. Waiting on one tweet one important tweet. Teresa is home and spending time with her family. She says go home to your family, and Merry Christmas. James J. Leonard, Jr., made me a promise a few days before going to Danbury, he said he would get her home safe. He kept his promise.

Teresa walked into her home, and it was almost like time stood still. Teresa is the only real housewife I know who could have survived all she did. She has come out of this, strong, more focused on what is important and what isn’t. Teresa found out something about friendships, some are easy and flowing, while others are hard, and judgmental. I am so glad Teresa gets to see people for who they are. Welcome home Teresa! Welcome back, too!

Since then I have developed friendships with him, his beautiful wife, Siggy Flicker, and friendships already developed grew stronger. Siggy Flicker Campanella is one of the kindest, sweetest, funniest, and most remarkable of the new real housewives to join any show. She made a dream come true, I got to speak to Teresa on the phone.

Thank you to everyone who has ever helped me this season. I couldn’t have done it without you. Here is to season eight. And what a way to end the season with a photo of a current real housewife with another real housewife doing yoga. Only time will tell if Danielle Staub is returning to the show. And only time will tell if Jacqueline Laurita’s time is truly up.

Meet Robyn Levy and Christina Flores – They are no ones soldiers!

Hello Loves!

Sorry about the mix up about the #RHONJ last Sunday. I am suspecting Bravo didn’t plan for tennis to go as long as it did. Hopefully everyone stayed on Bravo until 9 to see an all new #RHONJ! I will comment on that in another blog. My purpose with this blog is to clear up some rumors and gossip regarding Robyn and Christina! They are both FRIENDS OF THE WIVES. While not officially on the Bravotv.com site, they are friends of the wives. I am upset they have not been given the same respect that Kathy and Rosie have. Bravo please add them to your webpage please!

**In the first version I got a few things mixed up, I wish to apologize to Robyn and Christina. In my hast to get a blog out, I messed up and I am owning my mistakes.**

**All photos were found on the web, I sent photos to Robyn for her permission to use them**

I’ve been reading a lot from a specific fan page for one of the #RHOBH who isn’t even a cast member of her show. Robyn Levy and Christina Flores are nobody’s soldiers. They are their own people who do their own thing in life. Robyn has helped almost all of the #RHONJ at one point or another from helping Jacqueline and Chris with BLK Water, doing a magazine spread because she is friends with Chris and Albie. Robyn did a photo shoot for them, free of charge.

Kathy has benefited from Robyn’s kindness by allowing her to promote her events at Robyn’s events. Robyn adores Kathy’s kids, she helped Kathy in hosting an event for Brain Tumor Awareness, she did this because she believes in giving back to her community. She hosted an event for the Brain Tumor Society. Helping Kathy and Richie and their family raise money to help fund research so we can abolish brain tumors in our society.

Robyn did an online piece with the Manzo family which can be found on Youtube, called, DiningOutWithTheManzo’s. Going so far as to do a two page spread in her magazine for them. Robyn uses her contacts and magazine to help causes she believes in.

As owner of Velocity Media, Robyn has an excellent work ethic. She works extremely hard for her clients to make everything perfect. When she find causes she wants to help promote she works her fingers to the bone, to make them amazing, well publicized, and well attended.

We’ve seen some of Robyn’s amazing work associated with Fabellini appearances with Teresa Giudice. Robyn and Teresa have amazing chemistry. They get each other. They understand each other. They are friends who do not ask hurtful questions. They are natural and easy friends. Teresa knows like she said, who her true friends are and are not. She knows who she can trust and who she can’t. Right now Teresa has some issues with Jacqueline and that is sad. More in my next blog!

 

 

When Robyn was called a soldier, it hurt her down to her core. She was upset that someone who doesn’t know her, has this opinion of her. I’ve known Robyn for about three years, she has helped me in my promoting Teresa and her appearances. All Fabellini events, Robyn was my go to contact person. Because she was the brand ambassador for the product. Which needs to comeback. I miss it! Yes it was that good!

During this time, I got to know her and her personality, which is amazing, high energy, and so very cool. Robyn and Christina are spouses. They each bring out the very best in each other. They have an amazing little boy, his name is Jake.

With the arrival of Jake both Robyn and Christina made making this world better for him and every child. Their son is so sweet, cute, and totally will give Milania a run for her money in the future.

So to me Robyn is a friend to each of the wives. She helps and gives because that is who and what her parents brought her up to do. She cares about people, and making their events better, richer, more special. Everyone should lay off Robyn until you get to see how amazing she and Christina are. They are nobody’s solider’s.

Just my ten cents! Take it or leave it. But this is who I know as a fabulous amazing friend. Robyn and Christina are great people. So leave them alone!

RHONJ – Episode 3-4

6299eefda42f921dcc8566cc4b87a813

Hello Everyone,

Finally got a few moments to do this blog. Episode three was interesting to see. I actually felt sorry for Jacqueline Laurita because she needs Teresa’s family to have a story line. Her and Chris actually have it hard. But nothing like being in Danbury for 11 months or 41 months at Fort Dix. Joe and Teresa still have a huge way to go but they are getting closer with each passing day.

Teresa’s New Years Eve party was really nice to see. All the Gorgas and Giudice’s and family together. It was so nice to see cousin’s together celebrating the birth of a new year. But with the homecoming started a new countdown clock until Joe leaves. Seeing Sheila and Pete with their beautiful girls was nice. I know that they have worked hard while Teresa was gone in helping with the kids. I know Joe’s sister Maria and Duma (husband) helped out too. At one point, one of the Aunt’s had all eleven at one house. I take my hat off to all of them who worked to make sure those girls were protected, loved, and cared for.

Siggy was in Boca Raton enjoying some sun, wait, New Jersey had no snow this past Christmas. In fact from a follower on Twitter said it was a great comfortable t-shirt and shorts weather. Dolores went between Teresa and Jac. Teresa made a phone call to say Happy New Year to Jac. Which of course she didn’t appreciate. We so need to move on with this, either be friends or not. But learn to be kind Jac, Teresa is home less than 96 hours. Give her some space to breath and get accustomed to being home.

Countdown was special everyone hugging each other. It tore me up to see Gia and Filomena (Joe’s Mom) hugging. Leaving it at that.

Moving forward!

Dolores Birthday Party reminded me of past seasons 1 and 2 of the show. Light, funny, kind, and cute. It was so nice to watch. It was nice to hear Teresa describe “camp” The show was fun. Especially seeing Melissa get tanked, so happy Teresa drove that day. I am sure with every new day there is something Teresa appreciates being home again. She will miss Joe when he leaves. But she has the support of some amazing friends and family.

There isn’t much more to say other than I wish we would have had a new #RHONJ on tonight. I don’t understand why they needed a break. Ratings need to be going up so please let’s make an effort to see they go up. However they are keeping steady at 2,4 overall, which is good. But lets get them up.

So far I am enjoying this season. I do miss the twins and Dina tons. I know some fans do not feel that way especially about the twins. But if Teresa can work at forgiving them for what was said, so can I. Teresa and Nicole have been very supportive of me and that is kindness reciprocated.

Welcome Home Teresa!

Posted on by team_giudice

Hello Teresa Giudice Fans and Team Giudice Followers!

We are back! Can you believe it we finally have a new season of the Teresa and Joe Show!

We’ve been with the new season of the Real Housewives of New Jersey for two weeks. Two very emotional and frustrating weeks. Welcome back Teresa. You have been missed by so many. Your daughters running to you as you entered your home, was priceless. Joe’s face spoke more than any words he could ever speak. We are so happy you are home with your family. I think even your brother and sister in law were happy and relieved to have you home.

Enjoy the recap!

 

teresa-giudice-family-zoom-fc58d030-9c73-4b56-9ace-b1f50e906632

Let’s recount the episode’s!

Episode One:

We welcomed two new wives to the mix, Dolores and Siggy. Both are amazingly strong women in their own right. Siggy’s history is something special. If you want to learn more Google her and her father. What they have gone through in life is nothing short of humbling. Dolores has her personal journeys in life. She has weathered many personal storms to come out fabulous.

Dolores and Siggy and Jacqueline meet at Rails for some nosh. Siggy’s walks on camera wrapped up like a precious gift, she had just had a facelift. She tries to open the special room at Rails but fails, so Dolores and Jac help her. They all sit and eat and dish about life.

Yes you read correctly, Jacqueline Laurita is back to throw shade, mock Teresa, and make herself the most important thing on the show. Enough about her.

Melissa is back and things between her and Teresa have been stressed. Melissa never got put on Teresa’s approved visitors list, and that hurt Melissa a lot. However Melissa has grown a lot and she admitted on social media that she didn’t want to a spot if it meant T’s kids would not have theirs. Melissa is working on a new boutique. Envy by Melissa Gorga. Joe’s construction crew has been hired to do the redesign. Joe isn’t happy with Melissa being a working women, however, I think down the road Joe will change his mind.

The whole episode one was centered around the other ladies, with countdown reminders that Teresa was just hours away from coming home. Teresa’s lawyer James J. Leonard, Jr., who I have become friends with. was tasked with picking her up. He wanted to make sure things went well. He asks Gia to pack up a bag for Teresa, with her clothing, and phone. With that James was off to Danbury to pick up Teresa. Everyone parted ways, and the show kept going.

It’s a few days before Christmas, Melissa asked James to see if Teresa and Joe and the girls could come to their home for Christmas Eve, Teresa was given permission to go. So with that Melissa and her father in law had been at Gino’s football game days before, talking about Christmas Eve. Mr. Gorga has not seen his daughter since she left for Danbury. Eleven months, would kill me if I couldn’t see my parent or parents. They talked about dinner, what to make, Melissa was optimistic about seeing Teresa. I couldn’t even fathom what her feelings were like. But I know she was keeping a brave face for her father in law.

Let me move to end of the show. You see James picking up a coffee drink for Teresa, on his way to Danbury. Because stopping while she was in the car wouldn’t work. The paps were out in force. If you remember the Escalades from the Dominican Republic trip, well that’s what it looked like. He safely get’s Teresa in the car, and they start the journey home. While they are driving, Joe’s phone gets a call from Teresa. Gia and Joe are up early and are happy to see her number again pop up. Both of their faces spoke words they couldn’t say. Teresa was on her way home. She was out and heading home.

Cut to the Giudice Home, news trucks and crews were waiting to see Teresa post Danbury. James pulls his wife’s suv into the garage, and Teresa pops out looking fresh and fly. Mom was home, she walks into the house. Joe welcome’s her home. They hug and kiss and it’s an emotional reunion. Teresa’s yells I am home, first Audriana runs up and jumps up into her mom’s arms. Followed by Gabriella and Milana, then Gia, she covers her mouth but her shoulders seems to go limp, the weight of being “mom” is done. They all hug for what seems to be an eternity. All six of them, together again. To me it was a very bitter sweet moment. Because with Teresa being home, only meant the clock for Joe to go in started its silent count down.

Episode Two

rs_1024x759-151228090707-1024-teresa-giudice-family-christmas.ls.122815

 

Christmas Eve and Day!

Teresa and Joe and the girls are preparing to go to her brother’s home. They are excited. Remembering that Joe cannot drive and Teresa probably didn’t want too. They call her brother. With that I dissolve to tears. Painful realities of Teresa needed to get permission to go to her brother’s home. And she had a curfew of 11:30. Teresa and Melissa haven’t seen one another in a year, and when they saw each other last it didn’t go very well. I am sure it was all the nerves of what reality was about to hit. I’ve become friendly with Melissa on Twitter, and during this whole time, her concern was Joe and his parents. I believe her, I am happy, things are better with them. It will make this a much better show and season. Melissa and her in laws, work at preparing the Seven fish feast. Being Italian we usually have fish on Christmas Eve. My family does 6 fish cioppino with a great crusty bread, cookies for dessert, yes even sprinkle cookies. I thought it was really funny that Teresa dared go there with the note regarding sprinkle cookies. Brave.

Jacqueline gets a not texted to her from Teresa. Again Jac wants all the attention on her. Teresa failed to ask how things were going for Jac. What does she want a pound of Teresa’s flesh? I cannot get over at how petty she is. Enough.

Switching back to Teresa and Melissa, Joe picks up his sister’s family, pulls into the garage. With that Melissa’s asks why, Teresa says she has a photo deal with People. Melissa was supportive, that is a very good thing. The cousin’s are so happy to see each other. Teresa and her dad, made me ball again. Teresa loves her parents and they love her. We sit down to a great big feast, I am sure every bit of it was amazing. Teresa and Melissa move to the kitchen. they have an open and honest conversation. They both get to talk, something that probably should have happened, before she left but it didn’t. I was proud to see growth in both women. Both of them have changed and I’ve seen Melissa soften and grow, I’ve seen Teresa be more zen. This is amazing. At the end they both agree to act more like sisters than friends, and together if anyone talks bad about they other, they will have each other’s backs. Peace please, thank you!

New Years Eve was a sad thing for Jacqueline. She had to have Teresa’s family over to make sure she had someone to bash. Rosie I think if she would just reflect back about what she said at the reunions, she would see why Teresa doesn’t want her in her life right now. Kathy and Jac both just need to get over it. And either learn to be civil with Teresa or move on without her. My bet is this won’t be fixed this season, even by the reunion time.

New Years Eve at Teresa’s was catered by Rino and the food looked fabulous. Dolores stops by and they talk about her being home. Teresa makes the decision to call Jac and wish her a Happy News Years Eve. Either Teresa forgot about being on speaker phones, or she didn’t. Again Jac makes it all about her. And then Kathy, Rosie and Richie chime in to say Happy New Years. Teresa isn’t happy and Jac takes her off speaker. How the calls should have gone, was Hey Jac, just wanted to call and say Happy New Year, lets do coffee at my house soon. Print cut end. Back to the party.

Teresa’s brother and parents were there, so were Joe’s mother and brother and sister. 37 people in her house. Everyone laughing and having a good time. When the clock hit close to 12, we see Gia come home from being out with friends. Joining in seeing her family and hugging her dad. It’s emotional yet again, and yet again I am a mess. Mascara lined face, I have to start taking my make up off before doing watching this show. Gia and Filomena have a touching embrace. My heart sank, Filomena is Joe’s mom and I can’t even imagine what this past New Years was like for her. Gia is strong and she is loved, and she will do the right thing.

The whole house with the amount of people in it, made happy. Seeing the Giudice’s an Gorga’s together was nice. Knowing all the work they have done when Teresa was gone, was nothing short of amazing. Now they are on the countdown clock for Joe. With that I will close for now. I will try doing more of this during the season. I am truly happy Teresa is home with her family and friends. And I wanted to say thank you for the book mention I am humbled and honored to been included in her book. The Giudice’s know how I feel about them. I truly am grateful for their trust, friendship, and support. Melissa thank you for sending me my Envy T-shirt and hat, I love them!

Hugs and Love,

Michele

1. How important is RSVP’ing during the holidays?

 Very!!! If its an intimate dinner, seating cards can add a personal touch so an RSVP is mandatory since there will be an empty seat otherwise at the table.

If its for a cocktail party, still necessary to receive RSVP’s since the food & alcohol is always factored by # of people attending.

2. What are some good hostess/host gifts that won’t break the bank?

 I LOVE candles!!! It’s the perfect gift and so many choices to choose from in terms of scents & designs.

 3. During the holiday season is it ok to have one signature cocktail and have other non alcoholic options?

 Absolutely!!!!   Signature drinks set the tone for any event & always helps guests make a faster decision on drinks at the bar. A special Martini like using your name M-tini is cute! Non-alcoholic drinks are equally fun!! Think virgin daiquiris or pina coladas!

 4. Give me your top advice in making the holidays less stressful?

 Planning!!! As an event planner, I can’t stress how important it is to think about the following 5 key ingredients when hosting events:

 1. The venue- think about where you’re hosting the event

2. Menu- think about the kind of food being served

3. Entertainment- a DJ? violinist?or iPod, etc. Music is a must when entertaining!! Sets the vibe!!

4. Decor- never discount the importance of setting the mood when guests arrive. Decor can be anything from them being items to flowers, candles, etc.

5. Staff- help during the holidays is essential! otherwise you wont enjoy your guests when you’re stuck in the kitchen! Go ahead and hire a bartender, kitchen help, waitstaff and someone to help you clean up the mess after!

5. Since you plan parties for others’ with huge success, if you could invite three people dead or alive to a party given for you who would they be?

 Marilyn Monroe!! I’d luv to party with her!! The other 2 I’d have to say would be Adam Levine (he’s HOT) & Oprah!! It’s my dream to meet her!!

 6. Finally what are you most thankful for this time of year?

 My family for sure!!!!!!! I adore my husband and love our beautiful kids!!! Feel very blessed to have them in my life!! I couldn’t do it without their love & support!!!

As always when going to a dinner, party or something, bringing a bottle of wine, champagne or even as of late a favorite beer selection, is a nice host or hostess gift. Just please make the holidays fun, and fabulous but also remember to be a guest at your own party. Which means don’t stress if something doesn’t turn out perfect, make it what it is. One thing that I do when I host a party is take the keys as guests walk in. So that no one can drive home intoxicated. Usually we have a few people who haven’t drank and we pile people into those empty seats. Not only does this save lives but it lessen your liability of being sued.
My most favorite this about this time of year, starting with Thanksgiving and ending just after January 1st, is the feeling of love, hope, faith, and gratitude I feel for all that we have been given. This year especially with all that has been going on, I can always count on the warmth and love of my family to get me thought. I am blessed with my son, my parents and my friends and followers. I adore you all. Hopefully this holiday season finds you all in good health, good love, and good spots in life. With lots of love!
XOXO!

Teresa and Danielle at a place of peace!

The Return of Danielle Staub to the WWHL Clubhouse!

Because the last time we saw these two next to each other was when someone’s child chose to attack a grown woman. When I heard that Danielle Staub had landed a coveted spot on #WWHL on Sunday, I was like oh great what is she going to lie about now. Well my views on Danielle have VASTLY changed. Not only did she manage to show up looking amazing but she spoke the truth. When the subject of Melissa was brought up she spoke the truth. She said Melissa had in-boxed her on Facebook and wanted to film with Danielle in order to bring Teresa down. Then she made Andy Cohen squirm, twist, and sit there and made him apologize to her. Danielle was fabulous on the show. She said she wouldn’t speak of the current situation Teresa is in, she did say, Teresa is a mother and this is something serious that she wouldn’t wish on anyone.

When Caroline Manzo name was mentioned, she simply said they were both the same age but move in different circles. I took that as if she was saying someone should grow up. Good call.

As a few fan’s have pointed out via Twitter Danielle didn’t have to be kind, nice, or even respectful towards anyone on the show. I agree, but in being kind, nice, and respectful she totally did two things. First she managed to gain even more fans, and second she showed class. I am glad I gave #WWHL a chance last Sunday, because it gave me new appreciation for someone who was in a really bad spot the last time we saw her.

She is filming a new reality show, based on her, so perhaps I may give it a watch. Thank you Danielle for changing my opinion of you, and for providing the truth about things.

One of these women isn’t a very nice person. She wants everyone to think she is the victim, but she isn’t. She is the poop stirrer of the group. Another one of these women thinks she is a shrink but she isn’t plus if she was, I don’t think I would go to her for therapy. Yet another thinks that Teresa is the devil and believes her own reality. And the newest drinking game is when you see a polo shirt collar up, take a shot. That look went out in the 90’s after Miami Vice went off the air.  The final one really needs to tell the first one, to zip it and do what Dr. V said at the Lake George Retreat. Untied front that nothing can divide. But we all know she won’t so this crap will go on and on and on. End the crap because it is time to end it once in for all.

LA Shrinks - Season 1

Dr. V – Very cool, very nice, and very complimentary!

On Sunday night I had the very good fortune to have a DM chat with Dr. V., I sent her a dm asking about her tweeting support to Melissa on her book, not only did Dr. V answer me, but she was kind in doing so. Dr. V is a kind lady who doesn’t pick sides, she says what she means and means what she says. She also said she appreciated me DMing her and for giving her a chance to answer without being attacked. She also said she loves my page, because we do not bash, hurt, or poke fun of anyone. And in doing that it shows class and style. Thank you Dr. V., from the bottom of my heart for that compliment. xo

Heather Maclean – The rock solid friend, who calls it like she see it!

Also on Sunday, I gained fabulous new insight to the House of Giudice.  Heather is a true friend to Teresa. She listens to her when she needs to vent, she offers a soft shoulder when a hug is needed, and she also puts us all on notice, to be kind. She calls people out when she see’s fit, she also calls out people who try to hurt Teresa or her family. This season has been one of the most rewarding and most stressful seasons to watch. I love and adore Heather because she is not there to sugar coat anything. She answers her fans and her foes and she stays TRUE TO TERESA. Unlike some family members, Heather doesn’t go out to hurt anyone. She simply speaks the truth and she does it in away that is fabulous. Now I can see why Heather and Teresa are friends. They both are true friends not phony.  The quote below is from Jim Morrison, he is quite right, isn’t he?

Teresa Giudice gains even more follower on Twitter! We love Teresa! xo

Bravo New York Upfront

Teresa Giudice – Loyal friend, daughter, wife, mother and sister!

There is a reason why we love Teresa, is it because she is prefect? NO! Is it because she sugar coats things? No!  We love Teresa because she is a mom who loves her girls, her husband, her parents, her brother and his family. We love Teresa because she is real. She is funny, she is caring, she is giving, and she is fabulous. Most people with everything that she has shouldered these past few years, would have run and hid not Teresa. She only became the first NJ Housewife to reach 802K in followers on Twitter. She has had four amazing best selling cook books. Her hair care product named for Milania rocked IBS New York in 2012, which landed her the Beauty Buster Award. Teresa just keeps smiling and she keeps on growing why because she doesn’t know anything any different. She worked to make her brand better than anything else. her and Heather worked their fingers to the bone to provide this generation new Italian Bible Cook books. Teresa is a fiercely loyal and protective daughter to her mother and father. She is someone who I’d want with me in a dark alley at night. Teresa is the real deal whom we love and adore. Keep up the good work T clearly your doing something right.

The OK Magazine TV Launch Party – That’s the look of fun and love!

Oh and congrats on OK Magazine TV Launch Party while the other housewives sit and pray they have a book deal, endorsements, Teresa doesn’t she actually made it all happen.  The photo above is Teresa and David and Ryan from the OK Event to launch it’s OK TV Show. Talk about getting by with a little help from her friends. Well it is Teresa.

Teresa has been responsible for bringing me together with some amazing people, Dr. V., Heather, David, Billy. Kim D., Priscilla, and Alexis B from the Real Housewives of Orange County and Marisa Zanuck of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills just to name a few.  I have some fabulous new bud because she rocks it. Thank you!

Final Thoughts

RECAST this show please and you know which wives need to go. Or give Teresa a spin off. It’s simple and it is something who time has come. Get it cast with nice people not people who feel the need to use someone else for their own personal gain. I am tired of seeing people using Teresa! Teresa achieved her own fame all on her own, time for everyone else to stop riding her coattails and get off their butts and do the same.

Time to stop it and it time to stop NOW!

The Real Housewives of New Jersey – Let’s do Arizona

Posted on by team_giudice

Happy Birthday Melissa!

This weeks show we saw the ladies and their husbands, heading to Arizona to celebrate Melissa’s birthday. Do you actually think we can have a peaceful time in Arizona or will this end like Lancaster Estates in a war of words?

Melissa

Happy Birthday Melissa, can we possibly have a great trip without any drama? You are all together now, the way it should have been season’s ago. I am sorry you “got sick” on your trip. Joe went out of his way to make this a very special birthday for you. Hope you got to enjoy it. It was really nice seeing the family sharing the same space. Sometimes I wish you would just let go of all of the past issues and live in the moment, enjoy the space where you are all at now. It is so much better than where you were.  Joe I am so glad you asked your sister and brother in law to go on the trip with you all. It would have been a huge white elephant in the room if you hadn’t. Let’s keep working on the baby steps in life, because they too will eventually pay off! And yes strep throat hurts but not as much as kidney stones and ovarian cysts.

I am sorry your flight was delayed in leaving. That’s the one thing I hate about travelling is delays and lost luggage. I am enjoying how you have been there to help in the peace talks. Arizona I hope was good for all of you in the healing department. I enjoyed seeing Albert behind the stove grilling steaks. I know this trip must have been the last thing you all wanted, but I think it was what you needed. Time away the way it should have been all along. I really hope it keeps going this way because you all deserve peace.

Kathy

The Energist wow, talk about having goose bumps on my arms. I have always wanted to talk to someone like that but I am too scared. I am happy that you were able to have the moment in life. I also believe it benefited you in a very good way. You were able to have some closure on an issue in which you needed the help. Richie actually was cool this show, maybe a little less in the douchey comments and we can return him to society. Sometimes in life the less said the better.

It was really nice to see the family meaning Kathy, Rosie, and Teresa discuss what the energist said. I think it benefited everyone in different ways. I also believe that you three can now go and help get your parents together. Perhaps this is a catalyst on what you all need to do. Good luck Kathy you deserved to have that moment.

trejoeexaminer

Teresa

Wow what can we say about this season. A LOT. I think you have grown the most out of all the cast. You have put up with the most of all the cast. And you always seem to shine. I think sharing the villa with your brother and sister in law was a good thing, for the four of you. Juicy we loved the track suit you had on, you totally are the one we love because you and Albert do not give head-shot interviews. You tell it like it is on the show, and you don’t explain yourselves.  We know that this has been one of the better edit seasons for you, so who ever the new production team is, we love them.

I loved the chat you, Kathy and Rosie had. I think you got to understand them a bit more. Like you I am blessed to still have my father and mother both alive and well. I have cousin’s and friend’s who have lost their dads, and I sometimes feel like they resent me, since I still have mine. Now hopefully your dad and Kathy and Rosie’s mom can mend the past, and grow the future together. You all deserve that more than anything right now.

We all know a certain word you used is now getting blown out of proportion, we also know that you would never say anything to hurt anyone children. The reason why we know this is because we know you. You do not have a mean bone in your body. I truly hope that this one time, someone won’t blow it out of proportion.

Chris_Laurita_Jacqueline_Laurita1

Jacqueline

I am finding it totally remarkable that just a few short days after being gone for a week, your off again for another few days.  Especially after the surgery you just had, I am surprised your doctor didn’t tell you to lay low for awhile. After having one appendix removal, ovarian cysts removed my doctor’s told me to take it easy. So I didn’t tear anything that was held together by stitches.

This season we have seen a lot of good happening. We’ve seen the baby steps of a family in the healing process. We have also heard you still be really nasty to Teresa, especially when you mentioned to Melissa about attending her child’s birthday party.  Just like you don’t like it when people call you out on your Twitter rants, we the Teresa fan’s are tired of you always spinning things to make Teresa look bad. She would never imply anything mean towards your children. She has children of her own.

Jacqueline can you please stop spinning things? Please it just needs to be stopped. Because in the end we all agree kids are off limits. What made me mad was the fact at how you totally forced Gia to listen to you read her a book about winning, and poor sportsmanship. Now that was a mean act towards a child, we just need you to learn that. We also need for you to sometimes just be grateful for what you have, yes you have it a little bit harder then most, but guess what, you also have it a bit easier. I know families who have Autistic children, and how much time and effort and love they give that one child, is amazing.  You are so blessed to have the big family you do, the people who love Nicholas is off the charts, and all the help they give you is something my friends do not have. You have so many blessings in life, count those, don’t count the way you think Teresa is out to hurt you or your family, because we all know she isn’t.

rosiesingleshot

Rosie

Like I have said on line in other blog posts, I firmly believe you have more power with the family then you think you do. I was so happy Kathy and you had some contact with your dad. You could clearly see how it helped the both of you. I was happy to see you and Teresa and Kathy be able to discuss family things, you all deserve peace if not for you, but for your mother and her father. You all need it, and so do the cousin’s, it is a sad mess that they have had to suffer because of the adults in life not just letting go and moving on. We want this for you all because we all know how much better you all would be together. I am beginning to like  you a lot. Good luck Rosie because you have the power to do good!

Final Thoughts

Is it me or has this show actually shown some really good movement in the peace and healing department? And do we actually feel like perhaps this is a really good thing, especially in the current situation that Joe and Teresa are in? Who believes that the more family the girls have with them, it’s better for them? No matter what happens with the case now pending in court for Teresa and Joe, the girls need as many people who love them with them. We have seen four girls grow up in the five season, we’ve been allowed in the House of Giudice. Teresa is a devoted mother, who loves her girls beyond words. She has worked hard in making a good life for those girls.

This season has been one of the better seasons for Teresa on camera but off she has had to face more than her fair share of horribly mean blogging, taking the smallest thing and blowing it up for clicks and reads. I am fed up with everyone seemingly still being on the Hurt Teresa bandwagon, hey folks and bloggers it’s time to stop. Please stop making small things into big stories. Just saying, maybe passing on a story would be better then posting a story filled with lies and mis-truths. Once you become a blogger that turns to reporting the news, your not a true blogger. And you will be held to high standards.

As always I wish for all of us a great week of back to school, life, and work. Kids soccer games, fall ball, and other sporting activities. I am enjoying having some alone time during the day. My son got a fabulously good but firm teacher this year. I wish for all the kids returning to school in the coming days a great year of love.

Milania Youthful 8 Collection Launch Party – It’s a Great Thing!

Posted on by team_giudice

the_real_housewives_of_new_jersey_season_5_cast.jpg

This week it is Teresa’s turn to shine! Wait she always shines, so on to the Milania Youthful 8 Collection Launch Party! Will there be drama? Will someone cry? Where are the other housewives?

Teresa

Congratulations on the launch of the hair care products, they are amazing, just like you. I was really proud of you for calling Melissa to warn her about two guest who were going to be at the party. That was totally a good thing. We all love Milania your daughter because she brings the necessary laughter moment of the show. Her boobies, where totally funny, I used to stuff my bra’s too. Still wish I did.

Seeing Priscilla at your house was so nice. She is a fabulous lady who clearly loves  you and your family! Gia is growing up way too fast, her face shows so many emotions and so many truths. You must be so very proud of her. All your family is fabulous, Melissa included. I just wish her family wouldn’t tweet negative things about you. I think since your family doesn’t do it of her, she should tell hers to zip it.

The party was great all until Jan chose to make it about her and not your fabulous product. The chat between Melissa and Jan and Penny should have been done at another event or time. It was so very cool seeing a brief shot of David Antunes, he is such a great man. Thank you for bringing us together.

Melissa

Just saying that it isn’t Teresa’s fault your former bff’s loyalty isn’t with you right now. Whatever happened in the past is the past. I am sorry that these so called friends of yours feel the need to talk out of turn. NO one not even you as a mother should have rumor’s like this out there. Clear them up Melissa, take an ownership role in it, and kill it.  I loved how Teresa called you to tell you who would be at the party. And I also loved how she said she would have your back and she did. She is also owed a lot of I am sorries, I hope she get’s them.

Loved seeing you and Joe and the kids, that is a so cute and so nice to see. Keep up the good work.

Kathy

You need to tell Richie you didn’t want to test kitchen, especially if the only one he could find was way way way out there.  I really enjoyed seeing you and Caroline bonding because I think  you both share things the others don’t. Your children are both older and are ready to start the leave the nest thing. It was nice to see two women shop and talk and just be friends. That was well done.

carolineCaroline

It was great seeing you with Kathy you both are bonding in a good way. I hope you and her make a good friendship. What made me sad was seeing the whole Manzo family together, fighting on where to place a rug. I think the apartment is good for you and Al but not with all the others. I also think your place is back at the house, I am worried about your relationship with Al, I hope I am wrong but I hope you two work out the issues you are having.

Jaclauritasingle

Jacqueline

So you were home all of what 20 minutes before you needed more ME time. Why couldn’t the babysitter have stayed to babysit while you and Chris went to couples night? I also wish you would have had your surgery done in NJ or NY.  Wow I am impressed your blog doesn’t mention Teresa, are you saving it up?

Sun_Flower

Final Thoughts

I was happy the drama at Teresa’s party was left to a minimum.  Glad Jac and Nicholas had a good reunion. Personally I have been feed to many lies about the relationship between Penny and Teresa. Since we now know that they are not best friends, close friends, or even friends, I wish they would just stop. Whatever happened between Melissa and Penny and Kim D, shouldn’t have been used to bash Teresa. What has happened in the last two season was wrong, what is happening now is good, Teresa deserves to be vindicated in everything. Let’s move on and stop blaming Teresa. It’s done!

I really wish the other wives would have been asked to attend this party because I think they all deserve sometime together. This was at a point were all was good, and we hope the the trip to Arizona it stays that way; however, something tells me Kathy get’s upset at something the blond headed lady says!

Teresa Milania Hair Care

Teresa – Is she the new Danielle?

Posted on by team_giudice

TeresaGiudice

Hello My Lovelies,

Where to start this blog? From my honest gut feeling, or do I keep it positive and kind. Well how about a twist of both. I am fed up, with the whole Team Teresa vs Team Everyone else. This isn’t what we the viewers signed up for when we started watching The Real Housewives of New Jersey, five years ago. Caroline, Jacqueline and Teresa are the three original cast members to have been with the show since season one. Kathy and Melissa were added that last two seasons. First we miss Dina but we understand why she left when she did. Second we have seen so many tweets this year about the former cast member Danielle Staub returning to the show. in what capacity we do not know. I for one would love this to happen. And here is my reason why!

Everyone is jealous of how Teresa became the break out star of this show. She went out and made the show a hit with the flip, and she went out got the book and other endorsement deals. She worked her butt of all the while taking care of four small children. And her parents and being a fabulous wife to Joe. Does she say she is prefect, far from it, Teresa says what she means and means what she says. When she said she had nothing to do with the Melissa set up, I believe her. She would have way to much to loose if she did. Like her relationship with her parents. Teresa wouldn’t hurt her parents like that.

We have seen every cast member go to great lengths to gang up, verbally attack Teresa, and then play victim, they are not the victims. Teresa hasn’t changed since season one. She has remained the constant of that show. She is a caring and funny person. Does her mouth sometimes get the best of her, yes it does, just like it does with all of us. Since they no longer have Danielle to kick around, they needed to put someone in Danielle’s shoes, well they chose the wrong person. Teresa shouldn’t have been the kick person. Bravo Tv underestimates the power of the Team Teresa Machine on social media.  I run Team Giudice, the one with 8,400 followers, the one mentioned in PeoplePets.Com, on #WWHL, on Social Editions of the Real Housewives of New Jersey, and finally in Teresa Giudice’s blog on Bravotv.com.

My views on these last two seasons, is simple. Once Teresa got her book deals, Fabellini line, Milania Hair Care, and Skinny Italian Food deals, all the other cast mates were more than jealous.  Everyone was probably suspecting that Caroline Manzo would be the one to have the break out role, but she didn’t. Dina Manzo put her butt in gear and got another show, when she chose to leave the RHONJ. Jacqueline Laurita has become a loose cannon, have you seen her scathing Twitter rants towards Teresa? If you haven’t, they have been the most epic of rants. Mean and hurtful and tasteless comments. Kathy Waklie is enjoying some fame because of her desserts, which on the show look amazing. I actually wish her well in this. Melissa Gorga, saw all that Teresa got because of hard work and determination do. So she got on her sister in laws show and went after her. Wrong! Instead of saying she wanted the deals, went out and worked her butt off to get them.

We have seen many bloggers go to great details to proven, via accurate and believable timelines, information from people who aren’t using Teresa for fame, and from the way the show is edited to prove, Teresa didn’t have anything to do with the set up of her sister in law.  I have it on very good information from a friend of Teresa’s that she only wishes good and happy things for her friends and family. We have seen how Teresa makes each of her fans feel like they are the only one in the room. She takes to Twitter and shows off her pride in her girls. Teresa isn’t an evil person.

So let us all understand, yes I support the family peace now because of the recent legal events to happen in the lives of Teresa and Joe. Second I still love and adore Teresa and her family because they are amazing people. Third is I would love for Danielle to come back to set some truths in stone, to prove to the world that certain people where emailing her giving inside family information. Fourth if I see one more Tweet about how Teresa was in on the set up, I may call that person out. I want all the so called insiders to know that they should give their names. Stop being cowards in hiding behind that title close friend.

Teresa hasn’t changed since season one, what has changed from season one was the kick girl. When Danielle wasn’t asked back, or left the show on her own accord, people at Bravo, picked the new kick girl, Teresa. I am upset that they chose to do this. Teresa has been a loyal person to Bravo and has helped put Bravo on the map. Table flips and family drama aside Teresa Giudice is still the break out star of the Real Housewives of New Jersey, and she is owed some respect and love and better tv then what she has been getting. Teresa’s fans who are numerous are loyal and loving why it is simple, it’s because Teresa is kind and nice.

Ok now that I have said my peace, now it is your turn. Please leave a comment and tell me if I am off base or if I am hitting the nail on the head.
