Let's get positive!!!

Here's a tip: Before you go to bed, end your night in the most positive way possible. Smile, laugh, think of something great in your life, anything. Go to sleep with a smile and you'll wake up feeling positive, optimistic, and all-around content. I know life is more complicated than this, but try it. It really works. If you go to sleep miserable, that's exactly how you'll wake up.

The Next Food Network Star

I'm obsessed.
So inspiring to see people who are not in their teens, going after a dream as developed, experienced, talented adults.
LOVE watching their brilliance and ideas. That, and I love food.

grateful

Reflecting on what's happening in my life. So grateful for the positive response to my new album, to be nominated for a Blues Blast Music Award, to have a great new manager, to be shooting a music video w/ an awesome SNL producer & to be opening for Joan Osborne. The list goes on. This summer's already been so much more positive than last year. Amazing how things can change w/ some dedication & faith. NEVER GIVE UP!

Great news!! I've been nominated for a 2011 Blues Blast Music Award in the category of
the "Sean Costello Rising Star Award", an award in honor of the late young blues musician, Sean Costello.

These awards are given by Blues Blast Magazine, a free online blues publication. This is Gina's second
Blues Blast nomination. I was also nominated in 2008 for "Best New Artist".
Thank you to the nominators! Voting for these awards will begin on July 1st. More details to come soon...

fountain of youth please fall on me

Ok, 26 years old & look at me trying to stay young:

Callogen supplements, fish oil, anti-oxidant supplements, sunscreen everyday, & sunbaths never. Unfortunately, I'm a willing victim of the youth-obsessed world I came of age in. Still, a word of advice to myself & others trying to stay young.

Don't forget to laugh, love, stay young at heart, & always enjoy life's adventures or even the most wrinkle-free face wont masque your oldness.

Ok...off to apply some vitamin E oil to my face!

Palm Trees

Love when I'm on a long drive and suddenly palm trees appear.

"The Road" in 10 minutes

Back on the road!!
Route 81 North.
Bound for Rochester, NY.
We already got pulled over.
Cop let us go.
I charmed him.
The air is thick and humid.
Luckily, the van is air-conditioned.
The band is chit-chatting about baby names.
A billboard for Pet Supplies Plus just past me to my left.
There's a big cloud in the sky that looks like Mickey Mouse.
Exit 194 is offering some "crunchy, spicy, melty food".
We are still 4 hours away from Rochester.
I just saw a bird.
Scot brought along an aged banana.
He just ate it.
My hair is up.
Tom is wearing flannel.
I'm admiring my pedicure.
We aren't listening to music.
Just the sweet sounds of Tom eating something loudly.
Dave is probably thinking about studio gear.
I'm thinking about what I should wear to the festival in Toronto.
Just saw another bird.
The sun gives off a lot of light sometimes.
Look! There goes another bird.
Dave just saw one too.
So many birds.
