Feature Film Friday: The Ghost and Mrs.Muir (1947)
One of the most hauntingly (pun so intended) romantic films that I’ve seen, The Ghost and Mrs. Muir stars native New Yorker Gene Tierney, Rex Harrison (My Fair Lady), and young Natalie Wood (West Side Story).

Feature Film Friday: Jaws (1975)
I love old school movies. My mom taught me at a young age to appreciate old films, and especially classics like Jaws. Probably the most quintessential of summer films, Jaws has always been one of my favorites and as soon as the weather warms up I put in some popcorn, pop in my DVD, and … Read more

And the first time I heard the opening lines, delivered flawlessly by actress/writer Nia Vardalos, I knew that … Read more

However, despite my repetitive visits the museum has never failed to surprise me with something new to see. Just recently, I made another visit to the museum with my … Read more
Putting It To The Test- Wet n Wild Megalash Serum
Cosmetics is a billion dollar industry, and honey there is a LOT of money to be made off of women who are looking to alter/maintain/enhance/create/highlight their looks. As companies jostle for our dollars, they sometimes aren’t completely honest with what they claim their products do. That’s why I always look at reviews of products before … Read more
