I Really Have Nothing To Say.....

Life has been busy. And so, as a result, I have not been able to blog like I wanted to. I am actually going to go back and put the second week of this on my blog, so stay tuned!

Movie Monday: Valentine's Day Special

Hello All!! I hope you are having a wonderful start to the week! According to this post, I am supposed to be telling y'all some of my favorite things for Valentines Day. So, here I am. :) 

I, personally, LOVE this movie. See for yourself. :) 

You can find Plugged In's review of the movie here.


Plugged In mentions a thing or two that I did not see or hear in the movie. (ex. The lady in the movie says "make love" instead of outright saying it like Plugged In portrays it.) Also, I think boys could careless about the movie. Its definitely a girls night out movie. :)


I would like to say that I would NEVER review/advertise a movie that is against my beliefs.

Basically, Sophie travels to Italy with her fiance and finds a letter on a wall in a courtyard from 1957. This courtyard is where women of all ages go to write letters for help for their love life to Juliet of "Romeo and Juliet". 

She then finds a network of Juliet Secretaries writing letters back to the women who left them. And so, she joins them and responds to the letter. Thus, begins a journey of adventure and love.

Its a cute story and I hope you will enjoy watching it! 

And maybe one day, you will find your Romeo! :)

Have a Fun and Happy Monday Y'all!! 

The Purpose of Valentines Day

Valentines Day approaches soon. Which means, all the guys in the world are franticly searching for a place to hide take a girl for a date. So, I want to pose the question.....

 "What purpose does Valentines Day serve?"

That question has puzzled many minds since who knows when. So, I did some research.

And this is what I found.....

It is traditionally a day on which lovers express their love for each other by presenting flowers, offering confectionery, and sending greeting cards (known as "valentines"). (Wikipedia)

{And in case your interested, a summary of the founding of the holiday.


A brief history:
In the 5th century AD, Pope Jalacius called the holiday Saint Valentines Day. (It had originally started as a festival honoring Lupa, the she wolf that nursed Romulous and Remus, and Fawnus, the god of fertility.) One of the many Valentines that lived, lived in the 3rd century under the reign of Claudius. The Emperor had banned marriages because he wanted the men in his army to forget about love and focus on fighting. Father Valentine disobeyed the order and performed wedding ceremonies in secret. Claudius soon found out, arrested him, and had him put to death in a timely manner. He reportedly fell in love with the jailer's daughter and wrote her a note the day he was executed. It was signed "From Your Valentine".   


And thats the story.}




So, I think it best to start finding a Valentine for someone you love. Whether it be a neighbor, a family member, a friend, or a spouse. Just to show some love for someone this Valentines Day. 


I will. :)
