Double Double Feature: Chick Flicks x2

As extreme holiday lovers, we couldn't choose between some of our favorite Halloween movies. Therefore, we chose two! 

Our first flick for this week is:

HOCUS POCUS

Who knew that Thackary Binks grew up to be Agent Timothy McGee of NCIS?!

Our next flick is a bit older and a bit different but equally as awesome:

This 80s flick is utterly awesome.

Not to mention the dancing, outfits, and rapping are so....different?

Hump Day Hugs: The Next Attempt

As we mentioned before, the last series of hugs we did kind of got away from us. It just wasn't me or Cassie. We found a new list we wanted to adapt to our weekly posts.

Today's Hump Day Hug is:

Be Forgiving of Yourself and Others

{via Pinterest}

We both have been working hard to be healthier and more active. Sometimes it's very easy to get so caught up in it that you give yourself no slack, no credit for the success. 

Forgiveness within yourself and forgiveness towards other are very important for progression and continuing on through life without a heavy heart.

{via Pinterest}

We are human. We make mistakes and then we learn from them. We must forgive ourselves for what we have done in the past. We can't expect others to forgive us if we can't even forgive ourselves.

This Book Club Reads Wine Labels Too

{via sodahead.com}

I'm running out of ideas for books to review on here! I need to read some new ones!!! However, I do remember how much more wonderful I thought the book The Lovely Bones was over the movie. I am an advocate for reading a book before you see the movie. While this always proves to make me dislike the movie in comparison to the book, nothing can do justice to the details and plot lines a book holds that a movie usually cuts short. 

While this plot line reads horrible and sad, there really is some beauty and innocence in the story. Fourteen year old Susie Salmon is brutally raped and murdered by a serial killer in her neighborhood. The story follows Susie watching over her grieving family and following the police efforts to catch her killer. Susie reflects over all the things on earth she'll miss out on, and it covers how she moves on to accept the next part of her story. This is a sad but very wonderful story.

I'm all about reading a good series. In fact, I prefer to read them over stand alone books. I can't stand to lose my characters. I fall in love with them and their stories & then I just want to read more and more about them!

So, for this week, I'm picking a trilogy that is heart wrenching but full of love and hope.

It's written by Lauren Oliver and called the Delirium series.

 {via the examiner}

This series is set in a dystopian world where love is a disease. Can you imagine living in a world where love is considered evil and you have a procedure on your 18th birthday as a cure for it? It's an interesting world that will make you feel more than you ever thought you could from reading a simple book. If you don't believe me, watch this video.

Now, go read the books and thank me later. Also, a good theme song for these books is "Both of Us" by B.O.B. featuring Taylor Swift. Grab some tissues though because it'll make you cry at the end of book one if you're listening to it!

Another Manic Monday

{via Pinterest}

Lately the lack of job has really been getting to me. I'm getting restless and losing hope of finding something. However, my support system helps get me through the days of doubt. They give me words of support and motivation. I need to make myself more of an asset and be more assertive. That's at least what I'm telling myself lately. I need to stay positive!

So, I know that last week my quote had to do with champagne, but I just had to share this one. What's better than champagne? Champagne and sequins! They make life worth living.

Well...not really, but they are pretty awesome and make every day better. And, I totally agree that a smile is a woman's best accessory. A simple smile can change anything!

Do What You Love [Hump Day Hugs]

This week's hug:

Work at something you enjoy and that's worthy of your time and talent.

We all have different talents. Some are great communicators. Some are artists. Some are meant to challenge your mind. Some are meant to pick you up when you fall. Some are meant to put you back together when you break into a million pieces. The question is: are you using your talents and time to do something you enjoy?

{via accentondesign.net}

When you are doing what you love, there is no greater gift than the happiness that comes with it. 

{via cdn.indulgy.com}

You are given the opportunity to make the world a happier place because of the positive energy that flows through you when you do what you love because you feel unstoppable.

{via briantracy.com}

There is no weight on your shoulders when you get up each day because you know that no matter what happens, at the end of the day, you'll still be doing that one thing you are meant to do. I think we all want to feel this way about our day. It is something we need to pray for and work for. 

{via stylentonic.com}

Happiness comes from within. Find your happy place and work hard to get there. Take your talents and turn them into a career that you can be proud of, that you will love, and that will be worth your time and effort each day.

Monday, We Meet Again

{via Pinterest}

I feel as though through this blog, we hope to reach people and have people relate to us. Sometimes, I am worried that what we say won't have any significance. C.S. Lewis says everything so beautifully. Sometimes it's more important to live life rather than try and document it. So all of you, check our blog (leave us some comments) and then go out and live! :)

I have a deep love for champagne and white wine. There are definitely days where nothing I do will make my day better except enjoying a glass of bubbly. There's something about the feeling of the bubbles travelling down my throat that makes everything better. It's perfectly soothing, especially when enjoyed during a bubble bath.

Five on Friday

A month into our new healthy lifestyle, and we are still going strong! But, let's be honest - it's hard!!!

Last night, we were just drooling over all the sweets we could imagine - ice cream, pastries, chocolates. You know, all the bad things we shouldn't eat on a regular basis. It is a tough decision to say no to sweets.

Finding a viable job that you might actually want to turn into a long term career is hard and frustrating. It's not as easy as it seems. Gone are the days of applying for a job in person so no one knows how awesome you are. All your worth is now calculated based on a single sheet of paper. How can one get experience if no one is willing to give it?

If only jobbies really existed...

It's that time of year again where it's socially acceptable to make your house and, well, everything else smell of pumpkins and to eat all the pumpkin things. And, if you don't like pumpkin, we find that fundamentally strange a la Jess from "New Girl." Cassie was in World Market last weekend and was very tempted to buy all the pumpkin things. She settled for Sugar Free Pumpkin Pie Syrup and Pumpkin Chai Tea though since her husband will not help her enjoy all things pumpkin since he doesn't like pumpkin.

Where are all the good movies? There has been maybe one good movie release in the past two months. As the weather cools, I'd like to have more indoor options!

With the new healthy lifestyle, and the approaching holidays, the fear of holiday candy, sweats, and food are approaching. The daunting leftover Halloween candy is a frightening thought. Must.Resist.Temptation.!!!!

I truly hope that several of you guessed this weeks Chick Flick just by the title alone. If so, bravo! If not, you need to go watch How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days immediately! 

{via Pinterest}

For those of you who have yet to have the joy of watching this movie, it is basically a hilarious guidebook of the crazy ways women go wrong when approaching a new relationship.

{via http://wifflegif.com/tags/112011-how-to-lose-a-guy-in-ten-days-gifs}

Kate Hudson plays Andie, a writer for "Composure" magazine. In order to save one of her recently dumped friends from a bad situation, she volunteers to write a How-To article entitled How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days. For the article she will begin dating a guy and perform all the common mistakes women do in the beginning to scare a guy off. Trouble is her test subject, Matthew McConaughey, Ben, is also in it the relationship under false pretenses for work.

As much as she tries to scare him away, he just won't run! 

{via Pinterest}

Can they push aside their lies and give the relationship a real shot?

{via Pinterest}

We'll give you a hint...it's a happy ending!
