Spreading some Pinkberry love!
I got to do some promo work for Pinkberry thanks to their awesome company and the website Crowdtap! I thought I’d share some pictures and talk up our experience. It wasn’t the first time that I had been there, but two of my guests were new to Pinkberry :). It was a great chance to take them there! This is my friend Ronald debating his yogurt destiny. It was his first Pinkberry excursion, and he was a little worried about making sure whatever he ordered was scrumptious. I told him not to worry, it’s all delicious. The awesome employee was…

Double dose movie review: HOP and YOUR HIGHNESS
Tweet This weekend I actually saw a double header of movies. Spending time with the family always equals going to the movies, and if we can’t decide on one then we go to two! This time it was HOP on one day and YOUR HIGHNESS the next. I’ll give you a quick run down of what I thought of each. Okay I’ll admit, I might have had higher hopes for YOUR HIGHNESS than I should have. It was one of those movies that you go into wanting to like so badly, that it really doesn’t stand a chance of living up to expectations.…

Movie Review: Battle LA
This weekend the BF and I took off to the movies to see the all action, all alien flick BATTLE L.A. If you haven’t stopped by one of these posts before let me catch you up really quickly. We only go to about one or two movies a month. Our stipulation? They have to be something we REALLY want to see. Then I come share it with you! Beware: Rambling ahead. In a word, this movie was EPIC. If you are a fan of movies that might not have the best plot, but make up for it with stunning visuals,…

Movie Review: Tron: Legacy
Every once in a while I find a movie that I want to chat about with others, but unfortunately there’s no one around. SO you, my dear reader friends, get to hear my commentary? Aren’t you the lucky ones? *** Oh my gosh. Let me start off by saying that the original TRON was one of my dad’s favorite movies when we were younger. I remember sitting in front of the television when I was about 7, staring in awe at the light cycle battles on the screen! Honestly, for the 80’s there was some amazing visuals in that movie.…

Movie Review: The Losers
Every once in a while I find a movie that I want to chat about with others, but unfortunately there’s no one around. SO you, my dear reader friends, get to hear my commentary? Aren’t you the lucky ones? *** Are you a fan of action movies? Do movies with quick moving plots and lots of explosions make you smile inside? Is your weapon of choice a rocket launcher? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then The Losers is definitely a movie for you! After being trapped in my apartment yesterday sick, I needed an escape. The…

Movie Review: Tangled
Every once in a while I find a movie that I want to chat about with others, but unfortunately there’s no one around. SO you, my dear reader friends, get to hear my commentary? Aren’t you the lucky ones? *** Absolutely adorable. If I had to describe Tangled in one word, it would be: delightful! This movie was sweet, it was funny, it was just an all around good time. Even my boyfriend, who I have to drag to animated movies most times, was sitting next to me laughing hysterically at the screen. Disney hit it out of the park…

Movie Review: Machete
Every once in a while I find a movie that I want to chat about with others, but unfortunately there’s no one around. SO you, my dear reader friends, get to hear my commentary? Aren’t you the lucky ones? *** Am I the only one who thought this movie was a joke when it was a trailer in the Grindhouse double feature? Not that I’m angry it’s real! In fact I was pretty excited. Yes friends, side note on me, I’m a teenage guy at heart. I love TWSS jokes, I think death by decapitation is pretty darn cool and…

Following those dreams.
This is my brother. Very recently he graduated from Le Cordon Bleu and is now a bonafied chef! Yup, my little brother all grown up and moving on in life. Working in a kitchen, lovingly preparing food, doing what he loves. *wipes tears* I’m really proud of him, and I made sure to let him know it. It’s funny really, because as the older sister I’m supposed to teach him. I’m supposed to impart some type of “older child” wisdom to lead him through his life. In all honesty…he’s doing great buy himself. In fact he is MY inspiration at…

Some things I’ve learned.
I was going to post a Teaser Tuesday post, but then I decided I’d rather spend this post writing to all you fabulous readers. Memes are great, but what I really want is for you to know that I enjoy posting in here and I’m willing to spend time writing more when I have that time! The two month anniversary of this blog is slowly approaching, and it is still surreal to me. On April 17th, I finished reading through my gigantic list of book blogs and was feeling so happy! There were so many great books coming out. How…
