Blogtober Day 12: Best Chick Flicks

I went to a wedding reception, and it's got me feeling extra extra sappy.  It is also late, with an early start tomorrow morning, so I decided to just put together a list of my favorite "chick flicks" of all time.

1. Titanic.  Not that this choice needs any explanation, but honestly.  This is practically mandatory.  Forbidden love ALWAYS makes for great cinema.  And young Leo... he makes me smile.
2. Moulin Rouge.  I love a good musical.  Who knew that Obi Wan could sing?  Nicole Kidman is kind of an obsession of mine as well.  Just have a box of tissues ready for the ending.
3. Phantom of the Opera.  One of my all time favorites.  I warned you already I love musicals.  Pair it with a fantastic composer (praise always to Andrew Lloyd Webber) and you have magic.
4. Anne (of Green Gables, Avonlea, and the Continuing Story). These are a little more old school, but if you don't mind that, these are AMAZING.  If you have read the books, I promise you will like them even more.  Continuing Story is not very true to the books, but is still my favorite.  Who doesn't want a love like Anne and Gil?
5. The Princess Bride.  Inconceivable!  Again, waaay more enjoyable if you have read the book.  Even if you haven't though, it will always be a classic.
6. Dirty Dancing.  Nobody puts baby in a corner.  Not even in your DVD collection. 
7. Gone With The Wind.  A little long, admittedly.  But I gotta love Scarlett's stubborn persistence.
8. Ever After: A Cinderella Story.  This was the movie I would watch as a little girl, and dream of my own prince sweeping me off my feet.  Or catching me swimming in a lake.  Whatever.
9. Crazy, Stupid, Love.  At least like, 5 or 6 of my favorite actors/actresses in a mishmash of hilarity and emotional buildup.  Can't go wrong.
10. Pride and Prejudice.  Stop kidding yourself.  You wish you were Mrs. Darcy.
11. Mamma Mia.  I love Abba.
12. P.S. I Love You.  I also Love Gerard Butler.

Those are the favorites.  Go get yourself some popcorn and bribe your hubby to watch them with you.  Extra points if he doesn't sleep through anything.

Blogtober Day 10: Christmas Suggestions

This is for my ladies (and men, if you are smart with your Christmas shopping), who like jewelry!  I happen to have a connection with someone in the jewelry industry who is selling some pretty flippin' gorgeous stuff!

These are just a few of my favorites.  I have been looking at the catalogue for weeks and seriously girling out!  Share this with your girlfriends or family if you think they might like it too!  Spread the wealth! :)
