February 2020 Favorites
I saw a meme somewhere yesterday that said something like January was 48 years long and February was 2 seconds and I think it’s so true! January felt like it dragged on and on and I always think the months go by in the blink of an eye so January was strange for sure. I can’t believe February is about to be over and it normally would be except for the fact that it’s a leap year! So let’s get in to my February favorites! First up, my Barefoot Dreams CozyChic Throw. I have been talking about this for a month. It’s my first Barefoot Dreams piece and I’m in love. I…

Leap Year
Happy Leap Day! When I thought about Leap Day and Leap Year, it made me think of the Amy Adams and Matthew Goode movie Leap Year. I recently saw it on a list of bad movies and I remember thinking “hey I like that movie!” So I rewatched it the other night. And it’s actually not that great! It’s not terrible, but definitely not the best rom-com out there. Amy Adams is kind of annoying in the movie, but it got me thinking about other things I love Matthew Goode in. Chasing Liberty Similar to Leap Year in that Matthew Goode is trying to help the female protagonist get to her destination…

January 2020 Favorites
Normally, I start off my monthly favorites posts talking about how I can’t believe it’s the end of a month. However, this month has felt pretty long. Not that I’m rushing time, but seriously it feels like Christmas was a long, long time ago. Anyone else feel the same? I have a few favorites from this month so let’s get to it! First, I watched the documentary movie on Linda Ronstadt called “Linda Ronstadt: The Sound of My Voice” and really liked it. I listened to a lot of Linda Ronstadt growing up because my parents would play her music in the car all the time. The movie talked about…

Nai-Ni Chen Chinese New Year Celebration
As many of you know, this past Saturday was Chinese New Year or Lunar New Year. It’s now the year of the Golden Rat. My family and I usually do a low key celebration. My mom makes different foods in the days leading up to the holiday and we always have dinner on the day of at my grandpa’s house. Then, next weekend we’ll have a get together with some more extended family. This year I got to also attend a New Year’s dance performance/celebration at NJPAC. Nai-Ni Chen Dance Company puts on a show every year at the performing arts center and I was lucky enough to be offered…

December 2019 Favorites
Every month seems to fly by and I pretty much always say that, but I can’t believe we’re at the last day of 2019! Not just the last day of December, but the last day of the year and decade. It’s so crazy to think about. A lot has changed in the past 10 years and some things have stayed the same. The way 2019 started is really different from the way 2019 is ending. This year I moved out of my townhouse that I had bought with my brother and bought a condo of my own. Spent almost 3 months getting it renovated and just recently moved in. It’s…

Hallmark Top 10 Christmas Movies 2019
If you’ve been following me for at least a year then you know I pretty much watch every Hallmark Channel movie. I know that they are really predictable, but I still love them. It’s a guilty pleasure! But, I do have to say that they have really elevated their material this holiday season with some deeper storylines and they’re not all saccharine sweet anymore. I watched almost all of the Hallmark holiday movies this year, but fell behind this past week so I missed the last few (although I do have them saved on my DVR to watch sometime next week when I have time). Nonetheless, I feel like since…

Hot Tub Accessories for An Epic Spa Party With Friends
After your best friend convinced you about the health benefits of hot tub soaks, you finally got a spacious hot tub set up in your patio. Then you tested it. Sadly, soaking up is only half the fun without the rest of the gang. Perhaps it’s time to organize your very first hot tub party. But how do you pull off one? If you’ve organized a party before, this shouldn’t be much different. Just think up a cool theme, get your food and refreshments menu ready, and prepare some entertainment. Since your guests will be half dipped in water for a good portion of your party, you want to prepare interesting splash-friendly activities…

November 2019 Favorites
Somehow we’re already in the last month of 2019. Of the decade, too! I have a bunch of favorites from November, but most of them are from tv. There have just been so many things on tv that I loved in November. So let’s get to it. First, I’ve been loving my new Quay Australia sunglasses I got early in the month. It’s been a while since I’ve gotten new sunglasses and I love these. I love the rainbow look of the lenses in the top pair and the rounded shape of the pink pair on the bottom. My next favorite is perfume – Nirvana Black from the Elizabeth &…
