I absolutely love this time of year. As soon as September comes around, I know that the holidays are not far behind and I start to get all giddy. Plus, the weather starts to cool down. So anytime there is an event going on celebrating the upcoming holidays, I have to check it out. This weekend was the Salt River Fields Balloon Spooktacular in Scottsdale and it was so much fun. It took place in the e[...]

Fall Color Trends for 2015

Essentials, Seasons, Stuff I'm loving, Trending

I absolutely love fall and winter colors and this year I am so excited and happy with the hottest color trends. Of course you have to pay close attention to the color palettes by Pantone to know what colors to wear each season. After seeing these colors on the runways across the world, I can’t wait to wear them myself. Stormy Weather I love wearing black, but it is fun to wear a different d[...]

How The Arizona Taco Festival Failed

10/19/2015

Events, Reviews, Thoughts

I was pretty excited to attend the sixth annual Arizona Taco Festival this weekend. But, I was sadly disappointed. Not only did it pour on us, which never happens in Arizona, but also the entire event was so poorly organized. First, we had to park so far away. We could have parked closer but there were so many cars and people that it really wasn’t worth it. The walk was sort of nice though bec[...]

Who Else Still Rocks Out to These Hair Bands?

10/17/2015

Music, Stuff I'm loving

I grew up listening to the best rock bands from the 1980s. I have always been a big fan of 80s rock and have been lucky enough to catch my favorite bands live. It is hard to believe that well over 30 years later and these hair bands still know how to rock it. Motley Crue Motley Crue is on their last tour and they even signed an agreement that states the band will never tour again. The rock ba[...]

My Favorite Halloween Costumes

DIY, Events, Stuff I'm loving

Halloween is one of my favorite holidays! Ok, let’s be honest, I pretty much love all holidays. But there is something special about Halloween. I really like clever Halloween costumes and when a couple or a group of people has a theme. Halloween can be spooky, but it is also the one night you can pretend to be whoever you want to be without judgment. Spartan Cheerleaders The Spartan Cheerle[...]

Review: Roku’s Customer Support

Reviews, Stuff We Love, Television, Thoughts

I decided to get a Roku about a year ago. I wanted to be able to watch shows that I missed on Hulu and be able to binge watch shows and movies on Netflix. I have some friends who have a Roku and have been very pleased with it. Roku has a handful of different devices to stream entertainment straight to your television. Users have access to over 2,500 channels like Netflix, Hulu and so much more.[...]

Season 6 Premiere of The Walking Dead Disappoints

10/12/2015

Television, Thoughts

***Spoiler Alert*** I have been waiting for the return of The Walking Dead for MONTHS. I was so excited for last night’s premiere of season 6 that I had butterflies days before. It pains me to say this because I am a HUGE Walking Dead fan, but I wasn’t very impressed with the premiere. The episode was 90 minutes so I was expecting a lot. I felt like they didn’t cover a lot of ground in the[...]

The Scariest Movies of All-Time

10/10/2015

Thoughts, Weird

In honor of Halloween coming up in just 3 weeks away, here are my top 4 scariest movies ever. I recommend not watching these alone! The Shining Maybe it is just because of the acting, but The Shining is by far one of the creepiest movies. Jack Nicholson is brilliant as a husband/father that goes crazy while being locked up in a hotel for the winter. The movie was directed by Stanley Kubrick a[...]
