Weekly web-TV show features hilarious non-cooking shows, crazy gadget reviews, tasteless decorating, and all sorts of other craziness.

Humble, TX -- (ReleaseWire) -- 03/12/2013 -- Carmen Wisenbaker has been in the public relations industry for more than 35 years. During that time she has booked many of her clients on TV. But last October when the phone rang, the producer of the "Great Day Houston" show starring Deborah Duncan on KHOU-TV, was calling for her! They said they were looking for a big personality for a local segment about the city of Humble, Texas. Try as she did, she couldn't talk them into using someone else. They were insistent on booking her because she was the type of crazy person they were looking for to do this show.

Of course, her first thoughts were – she was too fat and sounded way too Texan to be on television. But then she thought about her clients that would make excuses for not wanting to be on TV, too. She would always coach them through their fears to get them ready for their segment. So, she knew she had to do the same for herself this time.

Well, as it turned out, her appearance was a hit and they asked her back several times over the next few months. That's when she caught the acting bug and decided to start producing her own web-TV show. She decided to do her shows on what she knew best – absolutely nothing but a lot of craziness! She really wanted to bring some laughter to others. So she started doing "non-cooking" shows (from a self-proclaimed kitchen mechanic – not cook), tasteless decorating tips (limited only by her lack of style and amount of duct tape), crazy gadget reviews (where the gadgets are tested in many more ways than the inventors ever intended), and lots of other craziness. She says her shows are a cross between Erma Bombeck, Phyllis Diller, and Tim, "the Tool Man" Taylor.

Next, she met with her friends to help her name the show. They came up with lots of hilarious names, but nothing that stood out. Then someone said, "Well, no matter what you name it, it will be crazy!" They all looked at each other and in unison said, "That's it! The Crazy Carmen show!"

So, off she went – planning, writing, plotting, and scripting her own show. Each and every week, her and her husband produce a weekly show that is meant for nothing more than to bring smiles and laughter to everyone that watches. They set up a website, a YouTube playlist, a blog, and even a few social media sites to see if anyone else wanted to see their show. Wow! Were they ever surprised! They started gaining viewers from the very beginning and subscribers to both their video page and weekly emails "warning" everyone when another episode was on the loose! They have also been contacted by several production companies that requested several episodes be sent to them to take to their executive team.

Wisenbaker states, "I'm having so much fun doing these crazy episodes, I don't even consider it work!" She continues by saying, "I've even had some of my clients tell me they have always wanted to do their own shows, too. So who knows where this might lead?"

When trying to decorate around your most prized collectibles, what is the best way to display your treasures? Great answers to this question and more from Leslie Sarmiento, author, speaker and decorator.

Humble, TX -- (ReleaseWire) -- 09/13/2011 -- You're looking to update your home, but worried the sleek, modern decor you've chosen will clash with your extensive collection of vintage salt and pepper shakers. What to do? Trash the collection, hide it from view, or work around it?

Decorator Leslie Sarmiento tackles the challenge of helping her clients showcase their treasured collections. She disagrees with decorators who equate collections with clutter. Would you throw away a priceless Picasso collection because you're redecorating? Certainly not. The same goes for baseball cards, piggy banks, family photographs or any accumulation of like items you've amassed through the years.

Our possessions are a reflection of who we are, where we've been, and where we're going. Just because you're redecorating, doesn't mean you have to shed your identity. Leslie says the best way to ensure the home reflects the soul of its owner is to view the collection as a central part of the decor, and decorate around it.

Because every treasured knick knack deserves a place of its own, Leslie suggests collectors scale the size of the collection with the size of the space: small items on smaller shelves, bigger collections on larger and longer surfaces dedicated to showing off bigger pieces. Be proud of the posters, paintings, or photographs you've collected over the years; this year's neutral -- taupe – is a great accent cover that will properly frame and show off the colors of your favorite artwork.

Leslie has seen many unusual collections in her many years of decorating and would never suggest a client dispose of any property – but would certainly recommend the right curio case or corner in which it could be displayed. "After all," Leslie says, "interior decorating is a collaborative process between the designer and the client."

Leslie Sarmiento, owner of Decorating Den Interiors, is the author of the Come on Over design series, a series of decorating guides, and developed The Decorating Dreambook, a project planner designed to simplify the decorating process. She has been featured many times on Fox News, is a featured writer on Yahoo, and teaches at the Lifelong Learning Center - Lonestar College in Kingwood, Texas.

Usually parents cringe when thinking about their teenager driving for the first time. Lynn, That Car Lady helps ease the pain a little with some great suggestions for their first car.

Humble, TX -- (ReleaseWire) -- 06/24/2011 -- Graduation is now over and summer is already here. Like it or not, newly-licensed teens will be hitting the road in "tons of steel" powered by combustible engines. Parents might prefer to see their child safe and sound at home, but will still be helping their teen with their first major purchase: a car. If you're stymied by all the choices out there, ask Lynn Beckwith where to begin.

"Safety is a parent's first concern," says Lynn Beckwith, owner of Beckwith's Car Care. Lynn, who's also known as "That Car Lady," wears many hats. She's a business owner as well as an educator regarding all things automotive. First and foremost, however, Lynn is a mother, and thinks every teen should drive a safe vehicle.

Like it or not, the car is a valued member of the family. Lynn suggests you start that relationship off with as much knowledge as possible. When buying a pre-owned car, the maintenance records should be available. For both new and used cars, some simple research will reveal whether you're about to commit to a high-maintenance trouble-making wallet buster. After all, even when a car is paid in full, the costs of maintaining that car and fueling it for the road can be prohibitive. In some later model and foreign cars, even a simple oil change can break the bank.

Is the vehicle equipped with the latest bells and whistles? Some of those features can be distracting to young drivers.

Is the car cool enough for you and your teen? Nostalgic parents may be tempted to buy their teens the car they wish they'd had: a '69 Mustang, or a '79 Camaro or Trans Am. "Those old cars are heavy and they handle well," says Lynn, "but they lack the safety features you get in a newer model."

Before kids hit the road, they need to equip their cars for the trip. Check oil, says Lynn, and believe it or not, make sure your wiper blades are in good working order. You won't have to remind teens to take their cell phones – but don't call them if you know for a fact they are on the road. If parents need to check in for safety and security, make arrangements to get in touch at specific times.

Your teen might have passed Driver's Ed, but are you really feeling secure sending your darling out on the road? To further ensure the well-being of your charges, why not treat them to a defensive driving course – or better yet, take your teen to a racing clinic. There, under the guidance of professional drivers, they'll learn how to handle cars in every conceivable situation – and have a blast, too. Lynn is thinking she'll take one herself.

When it comes to your car, a little education goes a long way. Look for Lynn online at http://www.ThatCarLady.com or at Beckwith's Car Care in Humble, Texas: 281-540-2000. She teaches at the Lifelong Learning Center - Lonestar College in Kingwood, Texas, has been seen on Fox News dispensing advice regarding all things automotive, and is a regular featured guest on The Car Counselor Radio Show on Houston AM 950. She's also available to answer your questions at help@ThatCarLady.com.

To book Lynn for interviews or speaking engagements, call her Press Agent, Carmen Wisenbaker, Penworth Publicity, (281) 404-5019 or email her at Carmen@penworth.com.
