The Nail Files

Linking up with Tara @ Fabulous but Evil for The Nail Files

This week, Sally Hansen Insta-Dri polish in Snappy Sorbet.

It is like a coral with less pink and more orange. And that label doesn't lie, the Insta-Dri is SUPER quick when it comes to drying. 

My little sister Deanna and I are on the way to Kings Dominion right now for a fun-filled day of rides (and probably sweating too). Hope all ya'll have a marvelous weekend!

Oh How Pinteresting

I'm linking up with Michelle @ The Vintage Apple for Oh How Pinteresting!

I've decided that I am going to start doing this instead of bows on gifts - just a cute design with the person's monogram instead.. probably not for the boys though.

I am already planning Sawyer's second b*day (who cares that it isn't until Feb. 2013),  it will def. be barn-yard animal themed since he is SO obsessed with all things animals and farms

and another party idea...

not only do I adore the color/pattern combo, but I am in LOVE with the paint job on that dresser - I am considering doing something similar for the buffet kind of table I have in our dining room

Put on your creative hats.. please!

I saw this graph on GraphJam a while back and I really started thinking about the movies that have come out lately. In 2011, not a single one of the top 10 films were original movies. In fact, 8 of them were sequels and 2 were adaptions from comic book characters.

Now, while I certainly enjoy a good book/comic adaption and I like the sequels that came out that year, I still can't believe that the film industry is lacking that much in the creativity department. 

Don't get me wrong, I am sure it wasn't super easy adapting books/comics into films or maybe coming up with an acceptable story line to continue a series, but COME ON give me something new folks! (however, I am counting the days to the new "Great Gatsby" movie in Dec.)

I am glad to see some originality on last week's chart on IMDb the top movie is Ted followed by (of course) Magic Mike. But you'll also see that we're continuing to build on the "Madea" and "Madagascar" franchises - and that there's a book adaption (Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter) and comic adaption (The Avengers - however this movie was phenomenal, so bravo on that). There's also "Snow White & The Huntsman" which I've heard is pretty good, but is still building on an existing plot.
