This Week!

Hello Everyone!

So I'm officially 28!  Can I still be considered in my mid-twenties?!  😉

I got to do some exciting things with my husband on Tuesday for my day!

I went on the Warner Brother's Studio Tour in Burbank!

It was a lot of fun, and super exciting!  Last Friday WB added the set of Big Bang Theory on the tour!!  Big Bang Theory is one of my all time favorite shows! So to see the set was awesome!!!

Not only that but I also got to see pieces of so many other sets from some of my favorite shows!!!  Such as Gilmore Girls!!!!

Stars Hallow Gazebo!!

Ms. Patty's Dance Studio!!

Luke's Diner!!!


And the studio where Friends was filmed!  Currently it is the home to Fuller House!  We got to go inside, and see the current set, the show is on hiatus, but it was pretty awesome seeing the Full House kitchen!  We were not allowed to take pictures inside though, sadly.


The tour also had a couple of special exhibits.

Such as the costumes for Aquaman:

Jason Momoa wore that!

The best special exhibit was though...

Costumes and props from Harry Potter and Fantastic Beast and Where to Find Them!!!!!!!!

Harry, Ron, and Hermoine's robes!

Newt Scamander's costume

Grindelwald's costume

And here is everyone's favorite elf...

Dobby!!!!


And then of course my absolute favorite part of the day!!



I got to sit in Sheldon's spot!!!!!! 

The Big Bang Theory has been one of my favorite shows since almost the beginning now!  It was a show that I got my dad to start watching, and he would binge watch entire seasons in one weekend, and then I would have to go get the next one right away, and we did that until we ran out.  When the next season came out, we did it again!  My dad was not a tv show watcher!  At least not in a "I am going to watch every episode!" way!  So that show holds a very special place in my heart.

I was really sad when it ended officially a couple of months ago.  I wasn't able to watch this last season, which was the first time, since I started watching the show in 2010, because my husband and I haven't had cable or satellite.  Which in all honesty, is totally fine, except for the whole Big Bang thing!  We have Netflix, Hulu, and Prime, which plays most things; and is allowing us to save quite a bit each month!  

But I'm counting down until November when the final season comes out on DVD/Blu-Ray and will be watching it then!  

To end our fabulous time at the Warner Brothers Studio Tour, we had a drink at Central Perk (any Friends fans??!!)


We had a really good time!  It is definitely worth it if you are in the Burbank area!  

The day wasn't over yet though!!!

My husband seriously spoils me so much!!

He took me to our favorite mall, where I got to got to make my annual stop at my favorite beauty store!  Lush!  Anyone tried Lush??

I LOVE their stuff!!  All of their stuff is vegetarian, animal cruelty free, and they also offer a lot of vegan products!  Really great stuff!! My favorite has to be their shampoo bars!  They are so nice! Great for everyday washing, and great for traveling!

To end the day out, we went to my annual birthday dinner at Olive Gardens, and then ran to Cheesecake Factory to get a slice to go!

When we got home, we ate our slices, while watching our new summer show Stranger Things!  I know we are super late to the game, but holy moly is that show good!

So that was my birthday this year!  I felt the love, and it made for such a fabulous day! :)

Marriage Vacation by Pauline Turner Brooks (aka Jo Piazza)

Hey Everyone! I finished another book!  I bought this one along with Shrill , when I found an Amazon Books store in NYC last week! I cannot believe I already finished both in less than a week, when I hadn't finished a single book since last July! From Goodreads : In season four of Darren Star's hit TV Land series Younger , the editors of Empirical Press are shocked and deeply moved when they read Marriage Vacation , an autobiographical novel by the publisher's estranged wife, Pauline Turner Brooks.  Knowing the book will cause a sensation, they decide they must publish it.  Now you can read what the hype is about. To find herself...she might lose everything. By all appearances, Kate Carmichael had the perfect life: two adorable daughters, a pre-war town house on the Upper East Side, and a husband who ran one of the most successful publishing companies in New York.  But when Kate attends the wedding of two of her oldest friends, and reconnect...

The Invention of Hugo Cabret by Brian Selznick

I saw the movie Hugo (directed by Martin Scorsese) right before the New Year.  Let me back track, and let you know that usually I am NOT a fan of Oscar movies.  If I'm being honest, I find them to be boring.  However, this year has seemed to bring quite a few more exceptions than normal.  Among those are: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 , The Help , and Hugo.   I fell in love with Hugo .  I thought it so beautifully done.  The music, the characters, the story.  I found myself crying even at points that wouldn't necessarily make you cry.  I honestly, didn't know the movie was based on a book; but when I found out at the end, I knew I had to read it. The winner of the Children's Caldecott Award, The Invention of Hugo Cabret by Brian Selznick is nothing like anything I've ever read.  Normally, when I read I imagine the story that I am reading  unfolding in my head like a movie; but with The Invention of Hugo ...

The Hunger Games Should be BANNED!!

Image
Okay, let me begin by saying, you may find my title misleading...but guess what? It got you to read this post! :) PLEASE CONTINUE READING!! I really think something needs to be known!  The Hunger Games should NOT be allowed in elementary schools!!  In fact, I don't even think it should be allowed in middle school either! This is the whole point to this post! I read the series last year, and enjoyed them.  I thought the story was definitely very original.  I am going to be making a few lists in this post, and here is my first... Pros about The Hunger Games : -original story -great characters -details were great...sometimes a bit too much actually -metaphorically speaking, the message I got out of this book is people are selfish and that they would do anything to survive, and while this isn't a great message, I think it is true about people (at least quite a bit around the world...NOT all!! but quite a few) Cons about The Hunger Games : -I think my #1 c...
