Red Carpet: openshop Australia Launch

If you're not an online shopper and don't do TV shopping... this channel is for you!

 openshop is the new way to shop - where you can see and almost feel and touch the kind of shopping style fossils like me will love.

 Josie's Juice was thrilled to be asked to cover the open shop red carpet and attend the launch of this all new shopping experience.

 We LOVED interviewing the stalwarts of TV shopping Nikki Vincent and Justine Diana. They really know their craft and have the most beautiful stories about their connectedness with their audience over the decades.

 See the FULL videos at my Instagram IGTV: https://www.instagram.com/josiesjuicejournalist/

 Here are some of my posts from the fun red carpet:



 Also, check out the wrap up of the whole launch event, also featuring yours truly:


Ready to shop?

 WALK RIGHT THIS WAY:

 Grab a cuppa, relax on the couch, and go shopping!

Netflix 'Me Time': 'Stream Team' Blogger Trip

What is Netflix 'Me Time'?

 You know the time when the kiddies go to bed and you sink into the couch and have that remote with that golden 'Netfix' button ALL TO YOURSELF?

 Yeah, that.

 But Netflix 'Me Time' and the ensuing nirvana that comes with it need not only apply to mammas and papas.

 Nope.

 That peaceful state we all strive for in our personal lives is when we are completely and utterly alone and in a zen like state often comes when, well to be totally frank and all non filter style, left the hell alone.

 I kinda feel like this state is one step up from 'Netflix and Chill', and a notch down from wrangling the remote from screaming mini me people.

 So when I was invited to the epic Netflix 'Me Time' event in Melbourne recently I could not resist. A flight away and hotel away from the fam bam (*I love them eternally, but hanging with like minded lady and man friends who write was irresistible) and talking all things Netflix AND getting a preview on what's happening in the world of Netflix programming... well I was so there.

What came next was an elevate state of Netflix 'Me Time'.

 Those clever PR folks KNOW what to do.

 A flash hotel in Melbourne (the QT, if you don't mind, and they soon after won a best hotel award), converting a warehouse-y space a short cab ride away from Melbourne's CBD into a dining and viewing experience.


That night (ironically, hot on the heels of an 'Orange Is The New Black' next season leak) we saw a preview of said 'OITNB' new season, the truly fabulous new series 'Glow' (such a clever and funny and original story line, and it took me a little while to realise it was my girl crush Alison Brie in the main role), and I fell in love with the new and original series 'Gypsy' (Naomi Watts is sensational and engaging in it).







AND: these lights, just like 'Stranger Things'... so cool:

Such a fantastic night with the @netflixanz and @netflix teams! The fab - and I do mean REALLY fab and enthusiastic and switched on - #netflix #USA people looked after us #bloggers so much, as did the fantastic crew from their Aussie #PR team. It culminated with a sensational event at @two_ton_max where we enjoyed all new #netflixanz programming which we can't talk about just yet, but... you guys, you gotta get @netflixanz - @jordssyd pictured here with me, well we go way, way back in #journo #publicist world, and what top company he was. We were also the two red wine 🍷 aficionados and shared a few glasses 😍👌🍷🙊🎉#josiesjuice #blog proud to be a #streamteam #blogger #netflixmetime oh and my dress 👗 was an impulse purchase from @hm #bourkestreetmall. I had, oh, four different options for the event but saw this and had to have it. I think it looks very #Missoni but #shhh it's under $60. #bikerjacket from @forevernew_official bought last year 👌#strangerthings #letters 🙃😮
A post shared by Josie Gagliano (@josiegags) on

So what does Netflix 'Me Time' mean to you?

 In a world which has evolved from 'cocooning' at home (I remember when I was deputy editor for a magazine when this word was coined and we were fascinated by it) to having it be totally acceptable to say you are an extrovert with introvert tendencies, or laugh and share and agree with memes that say you can lie about being busy and cancel plans at the last minute and you are not a mean person (I don't agree with this... manners, please), Netflix 'Me Time' is such a validating, totally okay concept and persona to adopt.

 Why is Netflix 'Me Time' SO important?

 Well, I am not a clinical psychologist or a psych of any sort but I do know that recharge time, whether it's solo, or with the kids where you can explain shows and age appropriate docos and kiddie-centric movies together, is super HUGE and essential to one's mind for mental health.

 Should it be a cheeky, sneaky activity done in private only?

 I am all for some behaviours being private.

 But proudly showing off or certainly not concealing that you're a dedicated Netflix aficionado is never a bad thing, I promise you.

 Don't have Netflix yet?

 Well you can do something about it immediately. Click RIGHT HERE.

 Oh, and enjoy this very excellent infographic. I LOVE this:

And this:

New Netflix data has revealed that for mothers, sneaking is the new bingeing and they’ll go to great lengths to stream their favourite shows while no one is looking. According to the research after becoming a mum, women quickly embrace putting their kids first and time for themselves goes out the window. Three quarters of mums admit to sneaking in TV “me-time” while multitasking or actually hiding from their kids at least 1-3 times a day. Nowhere is off limits - from spending extra time on the “potty” to hiding in the pantry or wardrobe , or sitting in the car in the parking lot. 

Key Netflix findings include:

  • 46% of Mums admit that they try to sneak in TV “me time” at least 1 to 3 times a day in order to watch their favourite or must-watch Netflix shows.
    • Some of the most common ways that mums sneak in some TV “me time” are while:
      • Cleaning around the house (57%),  
      • Lying in bed (55%)
      • Cooking (48%)
      • Doing their hair or makeup (28%)
  • When Mums think about the benefits that they get from having some TV “me time” for themselves, the benefits that are most important to them include:
§  To get a break from daily routine (66%)
§  To feel less stressed (55%)

§  To feel more refreshed (37%)

All this means to me is... treat yoself to Netflix, stat.

 Affordable, pleases the whole family, and SOOO much on trend content.
More stats, specially on the shows mum watch and why they watch their special 'Mum Sneak' shows.

4 in 5 mums (80%) agree that watching more of their must-watch TV shows makes them feel more “in touch” with pop culture and gives them more to talk about with friends and co-workers (other than just talking about their kids), and nearly a quarter even feel that they can be a better parent by de-stressing. When you become a mamma, life is NOT over, people. It's just beginning. And, you want to stay in the loop on all that's happening in pop culture world. Hey, why do you think Josie's Juice was started...

If you have to lock the bathroom doors in the morning and make your husband watch the kids while you “finish getting ready” aka continue your G.L.O.W. binge -- more power to you, because other mums want to do the same, and you shouldn’t feel guilty for it!

TOP 12 Mum Sneak Shows –

1.      Orange is the New Black
2.      13 Reasons Why
3.      Fuller House
4.      How to Get Away with Murder
5.      Gilmore Girls

Caravan, Camping & Holiday Supershow 2016: TICKETS AND DETAILS

NSW clocks biggest year for caravan and camping - yes: THE 'Supershow' is back, and showcasing the classic Aussie holiday. The 'Caravan, Camping & Holiday Supershow', that is!

 In the past year Australians have taken over 10.7 million overnight domestic caravan and camping trips, with NSW reaching its strongest year ever with over 3.6 million overnight trips in 2015.

“It’s been a great year with more than 14.2 million visitor nights spent in caravan or camping accommodation in NSW, making it one of the strongest years on record," Caravan & Camping Industry Association NSW CEO, Lyndel Gray said.

“It is clear from the latest industry data, released by Tourism Research Australia, along with what we hear from our own members, that families are loving a traditional Aussie caravan and camping getaway.

“Not only do NSW residents enjoy their caravan and camping holidays within the state, we are also seeing strong markets out of Queensland, Victoria and the ACT.

“Our member parks offer amenities which appeal to families including water slides and playgrounds, mini golf, cafes and restaurants, and kids clubs. There are also terrific cabins and safari style tents on site for families who prefer the added convenience of these options.
"Nationally, caravan and campervan registrations increased by over 5% last year to well over 580,000 - making caravan and camping the fastest growing vehicle registration type for 6 consecutive years."

Ms Gray said the upcoming Caravan, Camping & Holiday Supershow, held from April 9 -17, 2016 at Rosehill Racecourse, is an excellent way to see all the latest products and experiences the industry has to offer.

“The Supershow is a fantastic place to compare products, see the latest innovations and get inspiration for your next caravan or camping holiday - there is nowhere else in NSW where you can see so much all in one place.

There are also prizes valued in excess of $30,000 on offer, including a Jayco Swift Outback Camper Trailer valued at more than $24,000.

“The Supershow is the perfect place to bring the whole family during the upcoming NSW school holidays– with free kids movies, colouring in competitions with great prizes, face painting and jumping castles," Ms Gray said.


"There is also plenty of free entertainment, with live Jazz daily in the Champagne bar, and our new entertainment precinct, the XXXX Gold Beer Garden."

Onsite parking is FREE and there are FREE shuttle buses from Parramatta station and Parramatta wharf.

Tickets are on sale now from the Supershow website (www.supershow.com.au).

 Online ticket purchases receive a 10% discount and priority access to the Supershow upon arrival.

Adult tickets are $25.00 (online price is $22.50), Pensioners and Seniors Card Holders are $20 (online $18) and children 16 and under are FREE when accompanied by an adult. There is so much to see, and one day might not be enough, so this year we have also introduced new 2-DAY passes - also available online.

 AmplifyLIVE 2016 is here!

 And Josie's Juice has TEN double passes to give away for the Sydney show at the Luna Park Big Top, on Tuesday April 12.

 Here's the blurb, then details on how to enter, below:



THE INTERNET’S HOTTEST INFLUENCERS 
TO HEADLINE #AmplifyLIVE 2016 
A FESTIVAL FOR THE CONNECTED GENERATION

The internet's biggest and brightest music and social media talents will get one-on-one and perform live for their Australian fans at #AmplifyLIVE 2016 - a festival for the connected generation - on a massive tour of Australia and New Zealand in April.

TYLER OAKLEY  • MYLIFESEVA  -  KIAN LAWLEY  •  JC CAYLEN 
JAMIE CURRY of JAMIE’S WORLD
•  ANDREA RUSSETT  •  TREVOR MORAN -  TYDE LEVI  • 
JAMIE’S WORLD – KURT COLEMAN  
and more + special guests in each city
GOLD COAST – DREAMWORLD -  Tuesday 5th April 
MELBOURNE – PALAIS THEATRE – Thursday 7th April 
ADELAIDE – THEABARTON THEATRE – Saturday April 9th 
SYDNEY – BIG TOP – Tuesday April 12th 
PERTH – CONCERT HALL – Thursday April 14th 

In partnership with Rimmel London, #AmplifyLIVE is coming back for 2016 after a monumental launch in 2015 which saw tens of thousands of young Australians through the gates for a once in a lifetime intimate experience with their idols. 

In 2016, the festival will be touring nationally and this year, the festival expands outside of Australia, visiting Auckland and Wellington, all shows happening during the first school holiday break of 2016.

Award-winning #AmplifyLIVE headliner, Tyler Oakley, has been established as one of the most well renowned LGBTQ+ creators on the planet - by TIME Magazine as one of the 30 Most Influential People on the Internet - and by his more than 22 million followers across his platforms, including 8 million on his home of YouTube. Tyler’s passion for hilarious, engaging, and unapologetically personal storytelling isn’t limited to YouTube - in 2015 alone his award-winning podcast Psychobabble reached #1 on the iTunes store, he’s sold out 30 stops of his international Slumber Party themed tour, embarked on 20 stops for his international book tour for his honest New York Times topping memoir BINGE and released a no-holes-barred behind the scenes documentary called SNERVOUS. 

With a combined following of 80 MILLION across YouTube, Instagram, Vine, Tumblr, Facebook, Snapchat and Twitter, these unique creators personify a new wave of artists who are more passionately engaged with their devoted audience than ever before. #AmplifyLIVE by Rimmel London  will be the biggest chance their Australian and New Zealand fans can possibly get for a one-on-one meet and greet opportunity with their idols and the chance to see them up close and personal in a live stage show.

Nic Kelly, Executive Producer and Host of AMPLIFY’s flagship daily content series #AmplifyNOW, said today: “The way #AmplifyLIVE captivated the connected generation in 2015 was incredible and the show was a laugh-out-loud, no boring bits spectacular. We can’t wait to bring an even bigger experience to even more Australians and New Zealanders in 2016.”
