OPI Silver Shatter Vlog

When OPI came out with their Shatter line of nail polish I was intrigued. I love the effect it leaves. I was thrilled when I saw that the Pirates of the Caribbean On Stranger Tides line had a Silver Shatter and decided to try it. There is a reason I will pay good money for a manicure. I can do an acceptable job with my nails but it is far far far from perfect. With that warning in place, here is my attempt at using the Shatter product.



I was in no way compensated for this post, I just like the product!

The Muppets are Coming!

THE MUPPET Teaser One-Sheet

Pirates, Schmirates. The movie I am incredibly curious about right now? The Muppets. The last Muppet theater release was eleven years ago!! The new movie stars the Muppets, Jason Segal, Amy Adams and Chris Cooper. Segal not only stars in the movie but he cowrote it and is an executive producer. I love Jason Segal's work so I am interested to see what he does with the Muppets.  The movie opens November 23rd, the day before Thanksgiving. To keep up with the Muppets you can go to their Disney website, their Facebook page, or you can follow Muppets Studio on Twitter.

Since I have to wait until November for the Muppets, I am going to see Pirates of the Caribbean On Stranger Tides this weekend!

Pirates of the Caribbean ~ On Stranger Tides ~ with a Giveaway!

Jack Sparrow

Unless you have been living under a rock, you know that the latest installment in DIsney's Pirates of the Caribbean series is opening on May 20th. Johnny Depp returns to the role that seems to be custom made for him as Captain Jack Sparrow in "Pirates of the Caribbean On Stranger Tides." I am so excited for this movie to come out. When the first movie, "The Curse of the Black Pearl" came out, my kids were much younger and didn't appreciate the ghost pirates so much. Now the whole family is excited to see what is going to happen next. I am excited to see if Penelope Cruz holds her own with Depp, (I think she is more than up to that challenge!)


I don't do a lot of giveaways but I have so many friends who LOVE the Pirates movies that I couldn't pass this one up. The prizes are an adult "On Stranger Tides" T-shirt (size s-m-l or xl), a black bandanna and two temporary tattoos.
