Lips red as blood

Hair black as night

Bring me your heart,

My dear, dear Snow White.

So because I feel that it is my duty to my readers to bring fresh content to my blog, *cough cough* I am going out of my way to see and review this movie for you all.

There are so many reasons why I want to see this:

  1. Charlize Theron is in it and she so makes up for Kristen Stewart.
  2. The huntsman is Chris Hemsworth aka Thor. And I can vouch for his hotness…I mean, I’m not the only who’s seen Thor, right?
  3. I love dark, gritty fantasy movies. Some of my recent favorites include KickAss and Suckerpunch.
  4. I definitely appreciate Disney movie remakes, whether in film or book format.
  5. I’m semi-obsessed with Snow White right now since “Once Upon a Time” is on ABC on Sundays at 8pm (had to plug that in…post to come about that little gem!).
  6. And finally, in the previews, Kristen Stewart doesn’t speak. I’m taking that as a sign that the producers are aware of her weaknesses and are planning accordingly.

Summer is a long time to wait for a movie, but this looks like it will be worth it. We shall see, people…we shall see.

Yay! I now have a Facebook page. I debated about doing this, as I don’t think I have that many follows to justify a FB page. But then I thought, what better way to get more people reading this blog than to give them options?

So there you have ladies and gents. The entire thought process…yes, yes, I am rolling my eyes too.

Oh, here’s the link: https://www.facebook.com/sayTaina

Life Definitions: We’re Getting an Event Planner!

Black and White CakeYesterday, my cousin and I went to see an event planner to discuss her possibly helping us coordinate my mom’s birthday party. She had some really great ideas right off the bat and she helped my cousin during her wedding (so I already had some great recommendations about her).

I really liked her point of view about certain things and it would be fantastic if I could have someone else be in charge of most of what this party will entail. I really just want to sign the checks and be done with it. Seriously!

She works with brides, mostly, but has done regular event planning as well. Her website: mybridalbudget.com has a lot of information about her past events as well as photos. She also had them available for our free consultation.

I realize I will have to be involved, but after talking it over with my sister and cousin last night, we’ve decided to go with her, which hopefully will minimize the workload. I hope she can deliver all she’s promised!
