It's Movie Time

I loved when I was growing up and you got to watch a video in school!!  It was always a treat :)  Even more of a treat then when I got picked to man the film strip projector.  Does anyone else remember film strips?  Or am I dating myself :)

Anywho given that it is winter and I hibernate during the winter I thought I would share with you some of my favorite movies.  I will tell you that I don't watch a lot of movies in the theatre.  It is out of shear laziness really that I don't go to the theatre.  I figure they will be on demand soon enough and I can watch them from the comfort of my couch!  So on Friday nights you will find me cuddled up by the fire watching my favorite flicks.

These movies are a bit dated but some of my favorites to watch.  So pop some popcorn, open a bottle of wine and enjoy! 

1.  A Civil Action

Stars John Travolta and William H. Macy amongst others.  It is a real life story about families who were impacted by contaminated drinking water in Massachusetts (I know you're thinking Erin Brokovich but it is a completely different movie) and hire John Travolta to help them.  Travolta's character is pretty corrupt but you will be rooting for him throughout the movie.  This is probably one of my favorite movies to date.  Give it a try and you won't be sorry.


2.  The Departed

Is a great movie about crime and corruption in Boston.  It has a great cast of characters and you will be glued to the screen!  This is a perfect Friday night at home movie. 


3.  The Saw Movies

Ok, ok so I'm normally a complete scaredy cat when it comes to horror movies but I love the Saw series.  They are complete and total psychology thrillers and I've seen every single one.  If you want to freak yourself and go on a wild, crazy ride try out this series.


4.  Copycat

Is just like the title suggests it is a movie all about killers who copy a serial killer who is currently in jail.  The twist is Sigourney Weaver is a profiler that the serial killer has become obsessed with.  I've seen this movie about 30 times and it stills scares me.  It is a good one to watch with a blanket in case you need to hide for a few minutes underneath it.

    I am a little shocked at all the horror films! :) You should add "The Goonies", "An Affair to Remember" and "Breakfast at Tiffany's" to soften the mood. :)

The Truth, The Whole Truth and Nothing But The Truth

I don't really want to write this post.  I want to crawl in my bed, with the covers over my head and watch the real housewives of nyc seasons 1 and 2 (before Jill and Bethenny hate each other).  I don't want to talk to anyone, see anyone or answer my phone.  In fact it's been on silent for the past three days.   I am writing this post because I started this blog as a living, breathing diary.  It is a fluid documentation of my life and what is going on right now.  Unfortunately what is going on right now isn't a fun trip, a great product recommendation or a great style entry... it is real life.   This week something sad happened to me and the hubs, we had a miscarriage.  I will tell you that I hate the word miscarriage it seems clinical to me.  What I have said is we lost the baby because that is how it feels to me.   Without boring you or scaring you with too many details I knew something wasn't exactly right.  I started bleeding and was away from home and my

At Home Facial Favs

Image
Happy Monday!  I hope you and yours had a great weekend.   On Sunday I gave myself an at home facial and documented some of it on my instastories and got 100 questions, ha!  So I figured I would share what I used here.   The first question I got was the frequency in which I do at home facials and I don't do them as much as I want to or probably should.  I aim for once a week but it's probably every other week.  I love going to a spa and getting a kick ass facial but there isn't always time and sometimes they can be pricey so I've developed an at home routine for myself. I will say as I get older my skin is changing so I'm having to investigate new and different products.  My skin is sensitive, prone to breakouts and can be super dry and super oily so it's a constant juggle for me to find products that actually work for me.  Recently I've been using a ton of philosophy products and I have loved every, single one of them so far!  I also love that you get

A Sad Season

I have to tell you that these past few months and perhaps this year have been hard and yes sad.  My mother told me when we were talking about it that I was experiencing "a sad season" and I have to agree. Now this doesn't mean that everything has been awful, sad and terrible.  I haven't been in bed for weeks at a time with the covers over my head watching trash tv.  Instead I feel like it has been one of those times were the hits just keep on coming.  The bad news just keeps rolling in like ocean waves.  It has been a time of tremendous loss and sadness.  The events that have occurred aren't the same but it felt like every time I would get my ahead above water something else would happen.   It has been difficult because there are happy times mixed in to all of the sad.  In those times of happiness I have genuinely tried to be in the moment but my heart wasn't in the right place.  My heart has not felt happy and there has been an undercurrent of sadness tha
