Sneak Peek: Beyoncé’s HBO Documentary Special

I’m an unapologetic Beyoncé fan. Needless to say, I’ll be tuning in to her upcoming documentary on HBO; even if that means ordering the premium cable channel just to see the special!

Premiering February 16, the film (directed by the singer) will treat viewers to a behind-the-scenes glimpse into the mega-superstar and mom’s rise to fame to her current seemingly nearly-perfect life.

In the less-than-30-second clip, she shows off her baby bump, hugs her hubby, Jay-Z, and rocks it out onstage. If the teaser is any indication of what fans can expect, it’s going to be a great film!

“Everybody knows Beyoncé’s music, but few know Beyoncé the person,” Michael Lombardo, president of HBO programming tells PEOPLE. “Along with electrifying footage of Beyoncé onstage, this unique special looks beyond the glamour to reveal a vibrant, vulnerable, unforgettable woman.”

Take a peek of the documentary below:

Battle of the Seasonal Beverages: Hot Chocolate vs. Egg Nog

Is it me, or is this year is flying by faster than you can say, “Brown Girl Gumbo?” It seems like it was only yesterday the little ones were out trick-or-treating!

Anyway, now that it’s already December, that means the two quintessential seasonal beverages are back to satisfy taste buds: classic hot chocolate and egg nog.  These decadent drinks bring back childhood memories and serve as the ultimate cozy component to a cold, winter’s night.

Hot Chocolate or Egg Nog, which do you prefer?

While I’m not a huge fan of either, I am partial to hot chocolate simply because I like dropping in a few mini marshmallows just for fun. The kid in me still loves the idea of adding cloud-like bites of sweetness to anything.

I’ve tasted egg nog once or twice, but I don’t remember it being mind-blowingly delicious. Even though I never order the frothy treat, I still like seeing it on menus because it signifies that the holidays have officially arrived!

And, if you prefer your “hot cocoa” or “egg nog” in the tub rather than a mug, these limited edition 3-in-1 shower gels are a must!

Which of these rich, old-fashioned drinks do you like to indulge in during the holidays? Would you ever purchase “hot cocoa” or “egg nog” shower gel/bubble bath?
