What to Watch Right Now

-
The Haunting of Hill House
Released: Yes
Where to Watch: Netflix
Thoughts: Okay so everyone is saying how scary the show is, but really I think it is more sad than anything. HOWEVER, I still LOVED it. Based off a novel by Shirley Jackson, the show follows a group of siblings who spent some time during their childhood living in a haunted house, where their mother ended up committing suicide in. You just can't stop watching this show. I binged it in two days... yikes. Stand-out performances from Kate Siegel, Elizabeth Reaser, Victoria Pedretti, Carla Gugino, and Violet McGraw... basically all the women. The guys are great too but damn, the performances these women served were hauntingly captivating.

Bohemian Rhapsody
Released: November 2
Where to Watch: Movie Theaters
Thoughts: If you love Queen, you need to see this. Rami Malek plays the mega-talented icon Freddie Mercury and convinces us effortlessly that you can't help but root for  and fall in love with him, despite his big-ego and darker moments. Malek's Mercury is everything I imagine he truly was; flirty, flamboyant, fiercely unique, and energetic. A creative bombshell with star-quality from the start. The production value of this movie spares no expense to show us the sweeping moments in the spotlight, while honoring the quieter moments of Mercury's private life, especially his exploration of his sexuality. I got the privilege of seeing the movie at an advanced screening and I have to say, seeing it in a big movie theater with possibly the biggest screen I've ever witnessed definitely enhanced my experience. 

The Good Place
Released: Yes, every Thursday
Where to Watch: Hulu or NBC
Thoughts: In its third season, TGP hasn't disappointed yet. This show is feel-good/chuckle out loud with constantly changing stakes and funny quips. Lots of time jumps and twists. The entire cast is multi-cultural and hilarious. Kristen Bell and Ted Danson are American treasures. But my fav has to be Janet, played by D'Arcy Carden. The show is heartwarming and charming, with jokes for DAYZ. Highly recommend if you need a show after The Haunting of Hill House to help you come down off the ledge/not be terrified and sad forever.

DIY Crafts: Notebook & Mason Jars

Hello there!  So lately I have become addicted to Pinterest (again). As I am preparing to go back to school, I have been feeling really inspired to try out some DIY projects for my dorm! 1) This first DIY is to spruce up a regular old spiral notebook and make it awesome.  I got the idea from a pin of Melisa from  Pie 'N' The Sky 's triangle love notebook. When I saw it, I immediately thought, I can do that - I should give it a whirl! All you need is... - a notebook (mine had a plain black cover and was $1 from Target) - glue (I used Rubber Cement but a glue stick would work perfectly fine as well) - scissors - photos / magazine clippings / cardboard ** - Mod Podge and a brush  ** I used snippings from National Geographic, Vogue, and Seventeen, as well as construction paper to write lyrics from my fav song. I also took my 'Mylo Xyloto' Coldplay album and cut a pattern from the insert in the CD with photos of them playing at concerts.  N

June is here which means SUMMER HAS FINALLY ARRIVED! I can't wait to make fun summer inspired recipes for the next two months before I leave for England. I will share as much as I can with you and hopefully inspire you to try these out as well. My little sister and I saw Ingrid from MissGlamorazzi do these awesome watermelon inspired Rice Krispie treats in one of her most recent videos and we immediately knew we had to make them! She made a very healthy version but we knew our brothers and our dad would want to eat these so we went old school and used the traditional marshmallows and butter routine :) Ingrid always posts really yummy and exciting recipes that I definitely want to try. Anyway, here are some photos of our process and the final product! DISCLAIMER: We are not shown in any of these photos because we had both just showered after our 4 mile workout and were not looking so hot. THE RECIPE:  Ingredients: (We made three batches which totale

Flower Love

My little sister Mary, who is almost 13, makes headbands, bows, and clips for her hair out of cut material from old shirts and cheap fake flowers from the store... and they are amazing !! She is already a beauty/fashion guru in the making. I feel so inspired by her to be more creative with styling my hair, while saving a bit of money :) So here are some photos of her clips and headbands: Flower Love was inspired by a photo we saw on Pinterest*. She immediately wanted to recreate the look with a fishtail braid when we saw it because she just bought some daisies that looked quite similar. Here's me casually sitting in some grass modeling her work... (Secret: I was actually wearing boxer shorts underneath this dress and a car filled with attractive guys  drove by... I was kind of maybe a bit mortified because when standing you could definitely see the boxers. Needless to say, we ran and hid). Flower Power are two of her flower headbands that, in my opinion, are just
