We saw BRAVE

Last week I had the pleasure of taking the kids to see Disney’s new movie Brave.

I think I was more excited about going than they were because I love a good IMAX 3D movie experience. Man, these kids have no idea. Remember how really one dimensional our 3D was back in the day? I digress.

From the opening sequence I was sucked in. The cinematography was awesome. I think the one tiny detail that I found totally captivating was her hair. The red tendrils in 3D were amazing. Addison tried to reach out and touch them a couple of times!!

In summary without giving any spoilers…which I am good at, the movie is about a young girl trying to get her mother to understand her desire to live her life how she wants. The problem lies in that allowing her to do so would jeopardize and go against their kingdom’s traditions. In the process of trying to get her mother to understand she makes a drastic and tragically bad decision and in working through the issue she and her mother learn a very valuable lesson.

This is indeed a great movie to take the family out to see to beat the summertime boredom blues. Here’s a few clips.

*I attended a free screening of the movie. All opinions are my own*

Did you attend the opening weekend of Brave? If not, based on this awesome review do you plan on heading out to see it this weekend?! If so, have some popcorn for me.

She So Random

Hey!!

Yes, I know I was M.I.A. again. Those that follow me on Instagram and Twitter know I was on vacation in Washington D.C. We had a great time sight seeing and enjoying my family. I’ll post some pictures of our adventures next week. Last time I was there was 4 years ago for inauguration…I know, I have to do better about seeing my side of the family. We always go with my husband’s family but there will be a change from now on. It was so refreshing spending time with people who knew my mother and me as a child. I needed that connection.

In other news:

I have decided to open an online boutique and link it to the blog with some of the finds I come across when thrifting. I am not sure if I want to build up inventory or just start putting up pieces as I come across them. I will have all sizes and it is likely that nothing will be above $30 unless it is a high end label…Stay tuned

Divinitee is coming along. At this point I have decided not to rush a summer line but put out a spectacular fall/winter line. That process is in the works. I’m excited.

My son left from DC and went back to Las Vegas with my dad and stepmother…via car. No. 3 days in a car? I’m sooooo good. I wonder if he talked their ears off

I quietly want to move back to D.C. We discussed it and the Mr. isn’t against it but the cost of living…I say the cost of living.

I’m going to get back to doing my weekly thrift vlogs starting tomorrow.

My husband is up for a promotion….pray for him please. This could really set us up and allow us to pursue the things that we have been dreaming of.

My iPhone screen is still cracked #youcare

My stepdaughter is here for the summer. I love her!!

These kids have taught the baby to say 2 Chainzzzzzz except she says 2 Trainzzzzz….. I’m not sure who’s to blame, my kids or the kids in the neighborhood. I promise it wasn’t me…this time.

Bath and Body Works is having their Semi Annual sale. Am I the only one worked up about cheap Wallflowers, scented oils and 3 wick candles. I am? Oh.

I have been using the pure coconut oil on the baby’s hair like so many people have suggested and it is working!!

I have been having these awful headaches on one side of my head. I’ve been avoiding the doctor but I think its time I go 🙁 My self diagnosis says its either dehydration or blood pressure..but I’ll tell you what the doctor says.

Your turn…give me something random that is going on in your life!!

fab’rik Vinings…#BloggersandBubbly

Last Thursday I had the opportunity to attend a blogging panel hosted by Mattie and the Atlanta Style Bloggers at fab’rik.

The panel consisted of Cath, Eboni and Cathy, the editors at Asian Cajuns, The Fashionista Next Door and Poor Lil It Girl respectively

The panel discussed some key tips to blogging successfully. Some of the key points were

Take your blog seriously and don’t accept every PR opportunity offered to you. Be selective.
If you want to be taken seriously as a blogger, make sure your blog sets the tone via its appearance
Find ways to freshen up your content. Look for inspiration in your everyday life.

I absolutely loved the decor of the boutique, and the prices were reasonable. If you are in the Atlanta area this is a store worth visiting…I would say tell them I sent you….but

Here’s some photos of the event
