A Trip to the Movies After the Aurora, CO Massacre
For as long as I can remember I have loved going to the movies. The popcorn with way too much butter, the comfy seats, the darkness and the giant screen, I’ve always loved it…it’s always signaled an adventure and an escape. Growing up, going to the movie theater with my family was a special event—an […]
So You Think You Can Dance: ‘Top 20 Perform’ Music Highlights
The latest episode of So You Think You Can Dance on FOX was enjoyable but I’ll be honest – overall the music was pretty lackluster for me tonight. Thankfully most of the dancing was dynamic and interesting enough to keep my attention. With all that said, I still made it out of the episode with […]
My Decision to Choose Savages
This past week and weekend has graced us with several films that have left many little choice but to brave the sweltering heat and make their way to the movies. From outrageously sexy Channing Tatum in Magic Mike doing on-screen what most of us would pass out in the middle of off-screen (because let’s face […]
A Need for Closure: Grey’s Anatomy
Last week (after a year hiatus) I decided to watch ABC’s Grey’s Anatomy. Not like I used to (frantically every Thursday with my phone in another room on silent and everything I needed for the next hour within arm’s reach) but calmly, collectedly, and online—marathon style 😉 From 2005 to 2011 Grey’s Anatomy was by far […]
Let your kid flag fly! The Legend of Korra
I get that cartoons aren’t for everyone and most of us haven’t watched Nickelodeon since middle school but if you’re looking for an entertaining and exciting animated show this summer I strongly suggest you check out Nickelodeon’s new animated television series: The Legend of Korra. The Legend of Korra is the sequel to creator’s Michael […]
So You Think You Can Dance: ‘Meet the Top 20’ Music Highlights
Last night on FOX, the top 20 contestants for season 9 of So You Think You Can Dance were revealed. I’ve been a fan of the dance competition since season 1 (though there are some seasons I’ve paid more attention to than others). The music that the choreographers and dancers use in the show is […]
OPI’s Spiderman Collection
Are your Spidey senses tingling? OPI has done it again: the second you think they can’t outdo themselves… they, well, go and outdo themselves. The latest collection features shades inspired by The Amazing Spider-Man. In true OPI fashion, the shade names are almost better than the colors. From left to right: Shatter the Scales, My […]
Benefit’s Rare Beauty Snow White and the Huntsman Makeup Kit
Apparently the beauty world can’t get enough of Snow White and the Huntsman. Benefit Cosmetics came out with their own movie collaboration kit. While I love the products in this case (Benefit classics! And Porefessional is to die for), I think the set itself is kind of lame. There’s nothing new or particularly “Snow White” about the collection, (mascara and […]
NYX Cosmetics’s Dark Shadows The Crimson Amulet Collection
NYX Cosmetics certainly has a way with making show-stopping makeup palettes. (Last summer’s Jerseylicious palette, anyone?) Their newest creation is inspired by the only vampire film I am dying to see, Dark Shadows. Cute packaging and character bios aside, this set contains blushes, glosses, and powders you’d actually want to use. I was convinced that […]
Deborah Lippman’s Snow White & the Huntsman Nail Polish Duo
Love the new movie? Read Amber’s review here? Then all you need to complete your Snow White & the Huntsman obsession trifecta is Deborah Lippman’s special edition nail polish duo. The two super flattering shades are appropriately called Prelude to a Kiss (baby pink) and Dark Side of the Moon(vampy purple). The set is $25 and […]
