Confessions of a Shopaholic - Movie Review


















I can't believe this movie didn't even break into the top three this Valentine's weekend despite the movie theatre on Saturday night being completely packed!

Oh well and with that said, I have to say I was pleasantly surprised by all those lovely boyfriends and husbands who sucked it up and patiently sat through this movie by their significant other’s sides. While this movie has chick flick written all over it I will say that my boyfriend actually enjoyed it, or so he says!

Now onto the actual movie review...

Isla Fisher is absolutely wonderful. Her undeniable talent for physical and comedic characterization has always been genius in my mind and her character (Rebecca Bloomwood) in this movie is no exception. She’s lovable, awkward, and funny all at once. While she’s very eccentric and over-the-top at times, I believe that in one way or another the shopaholic in us all can simply relate.

Rebecca Bloomwood is an endearing, cutthroat shopaholic whose naïve ways have launched her into massive amounts of debt. Rebecca is chasing after her dream job at a high fashion magazine all while juggling a full-blown addiction to shopping and her current job at a financial magazine. She becomes tangled in a web of lies and pesky creditors are trying to ruin her job credibility. However, she has more to lose than just her job. She could lose the things that matter to her the most...her best friend and the one she loves.

I won’t spoil the movie for you but you really need to go see this movie! Just fight the sudden urge to go shopping after you do! :)

Scuni's Magic Grip Hair Pins!

I’ve always had a love/hate relationship with bobby pins. They’re good for pinning up small amounts of hair but they’re very unsightly when they begin to fall out near the end of the day. I’ve especially used bobby pins to hold up the hair underneath my ponytail making them even more visible.

However, I’ve recently found Scuni’s Magic Grip Hair Pins at a random trip to Walgreens. They’re plastic hair pins available in brown and clear that won’t cause damage to your hair. All I simply do is stick one of these babies vertically/upwards underneath the very base of my ponytail and it keeps my ponytail taut all day. These hair pins don’t fall out very easily and they’re great for all sorts of updos.

I personally have medium/thick long hair and have always wondered how to easily pin up my hair into a bun without using clips such as butterfly clips. All I have to do is wrap my hair into a bun and strategically place a few of these around and I have a perfectly secured hair. They’re also great for clipping up wet hair in a bun at night and letting out dry loose waves in the morning.

No matter how you use them, these pins are great to have on-hand!

He's Just Not That Into You - Movie Reivew



Hey Everyone! I just saw He's Just Not That Into You. The book itself was repetitive and it was a little bit expected for the movie to be the same. Although, I will say that it was much better than I had anticipated. While the theme and the title of the book was pretty straightforward, I feel as if the screenplay and the script was very well-written. However, I will say that I feel that without the casting of Jennifer Aniston and Ben Affleck the movie would have been lacking. Also, I love movies with interconnected social webs which definitely pull you in. Overall, a very cute and smart romantic comedy! Go see it!
