Dina: Florida Will Be the New Scary Island

Dina Manzo teases what's to come on the Florida trip.

By Dina Manzo

PERFECT TIMING! I love how this episode has a Project Ladybug (www.projectladybug.org) focus. Did you know that September is Childhood Cancer awareness month? Yeah, not many people know that, for some CRAZY reason it's not as prevalent as other awareness months. I need a favor, whoever is reading this, if you can post that on your social media sites, I'll love you forever. Lets get these kids the attention and awareness they need and deserve, and if you're so inclined to make a donation to your favorite childhood cancer charity, that would be awesome as well. May I suggest a small donation to Project Ladybug? Remember no one gets paid at our charity, so all the money will go exactly where it belongs and all it takes is a click of a button. Go here now to learn more: www.projectladybug.org! Thank you!

How to Watch

Watch The Real Housewives of New Jersey Season 14 premiere May 5th at 8/9c on Bravo and stream next day on Peacock.

Now on to this weeks show... Oh the drama, it seems like it just follows Amber wherever she goes! I do feel for her that she is caught in the middle of this Victoria Gotti gossip web, but zip it girl, not at a meeting for children with cancer! I actually loved that all the girls were so excited to be on board with the event. It was hard to get a word in, but you've got to love them for being so enthusiastic about something POSITIVE! We're used to seeing everyone so fired up about the drama of it all, but THIS is my kind of energy. And yes, heads will roll if anything goes down the Ladybug event. You will have to stay tuned to see how that all worked out!

It seriously never ended and for those north easterners, you know what I'm talking about. By this time of the season it wasn't even worth shoveling, because we had blizzards on the daily but I was grateful the girls came over to help. We didn't get much done, but it was nice to spend some fun time with Teresa and be able to tell her about our Florida idea. We were DESPERATE for some sun and R&R, but as you can see by the previews, it didn't quite turn out to be relaxing at ALL. And you guys thought Scary Island was bad. Wait till you see this trip....YIKES.

Teresa's facing some hard times and she and her entire family will remain at the top of my prayer pile right now. I know my girls will get through this, Teresa is a tough cookie and those kids are strong like their mama. Join me in sending them some good vibes for a positive outcome and some closure to all of this. BTW, Amber's REALLY sensitive huh? This week's after party will touch on REVENGE -- why do we feel the need to go there? Remember an eye for an eye makes the whole world go blind. Based on our cast's Twitter feeds, it seems like some seeing eye dogs will be needed soon. Check out the after party on dinamanzo.com for our revenge video, we give you some healthier options, LOL. Also click around our Labor Day beauty and health bonus videos. Monday is a full moon (in my sign Pisces) so it's a perfect time to start on your road to well being and release all that is holding you back. JOIN ME! 

Remember to follow me on social media and PLEASE check out our updates on dinamanzo.com and projectladybug.org and get involved in giving back this month. Good things will come your way if you do. I PROMISE! 

Lots and Lots of Love, 

Dina xoxo
