  • After the Movie: The Greatest Showman

    For inspiration this year, I chose The Greatest Showman. It felt like the perfect way to kick off a new year. It’s so easy to get distracted by everything happening around us. Sometimes we need something that reminds us to stay true to ourselves and to be brave, strong, and kind. In the film, P.…

  • You’ve probably heard about the latest fantasy film that serves as a spin-off of the Harry Potter series. Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them was written by J. K. Rowling, and if you’ve read or watched Harry Potter, the title should sound very familiar. I’m a huge Harry Potter fan. I’ve read all the…

  • Thirty and Thriving!

    Whew! The past few months have been so busy with work and my relationship. It’s been a little hard trying to balance everything at the same time, but I think I’m getting better at it. So here I am, finally back to writing again. I turned 30 last month. Such a great birthday. My boyfriend…

    2015 flew by so quickly! It was such a fun year, and I’m hoping 2016 will be just as good—or maybe even better! The first day of the year always feels special, like the first page of a new chapter. This year, I’m challenging myself to write about every movie I watch in the cinema.…

  • Fifty Shades of Confessions: What I Really Thought

    Okay, I’ll admit it. I saw Fifty Shades of Grey twice. I never read the book, so I can’t compare the movie to it. I know many people made a big deal about the erotic parts, but to me, the film showed much more than that. Christian Grey is smart, thoughtful, and sexy. And by…

    The Best of Me

    “I knew you loved me and that you’d do anything for me. And that was one of the reasons it hurt so much when you ended it, Dawson. Because I knew even then how rare that kind of love is. Only the luckiest people get to experience it at all”  That’s a quote from Nicholas…
