I was watching Pitch Perfect the other night and Skylar Astin’s character, Jesse, was bragging to Anna Kendrick’s character, Beca, about movies with great soundtracks and he mentioned The Breakfast Club. The song, “Don’t You Forget About Me” by Simple Minds, is awesome, and I love the part in that movie when Judd Nelson triumphantly thrusts his fist up into the air as the credits began to roll. This same song was “mashed up” with another song in Pitch Perfect and was performed by Beca (Anna Kendrick) and the Barden Bellas. I won’t reveal any more details in case you […]
Stylish Looks for Fall
Fall is in the air! It seems like we have waited all Summer to be able to layer our clothing, wear cool riding boots, and wrap soft scarves around our necks.

She has gone on to use this nickname in several business ventures. This is […]

I read about it in couple of blog posts, one by a young woman by the name of Annalee from Perth, WA., and the other by a retired teacher named Libby. The #IPledgeToCheck Campaign is sponsored by QV Skincare and they are selling a moisturizing self check breast cream. I have written about Breast Cancer awareness before in “Pink is the New Black” and “How You Can Support Breast Cancer Awareness in October”, because it is a cause that is near and dear to my […]
Hair Color Trends for Fall 2016
I’ve written about my hair several times, about wanting to change the style or the color. And it’s that time of the year where I’m ready to change it up again. So what do I have in mind? Well, I’ve been doing some reading to find out what the hair color trends are for this Fall 2016. Of course, rose gold tones are really on-trend right now. This color looks great on blondes who are looking to try something a little different. For those of us with darker hair tones, you will want to make an appointment with your stylist to achieve […]
