Favorite NEW Restaurant- Country Grill

A new restaurant opened up recently in Westland Michigan. My husband and I tried it for the first time yesterday. This is our new favorite restaurant. The food is flavorful and the presentation is gourmet quality. When you walk in it reminds you of a restaurant in a Marriott Hotel. Simple and tasteful decor. Booths, tables, fireplace, wood accents and linen table cloths. You don't even notice there is a short order cook area. It's all done so well. The servers are young and friendly.The food is definitely southern. The price for all of this is equivalent to fast food prices. You simply can not go wrong. I really hope this new business makes it and stays around for years to come. It's a nice break in all the food chain restaurants in our area. I wish I had a picture to display of restaurant or food. You all just need to check it out.

This season's Old Navy Favorites

Perfect T

Vintage T

I use to love Old Navy when I was a smaller size. Once I crept up on the scale I found most clothes at Old Navy fit me in all the wrong places and I stopped going. Well after hoping and trying hard to lose weight I came to the conclusion it just wasn't going to happen. By then I really needed some clothing fast and I needed affordable. I had refused to purchase anything at my current size. So I decided to try Old Navy once more and to my surprise I found a few great items that finally fit in all the right places at my current weight. As affordable as their clothing is I can't afford to go crazy and stock up. Although I would love to on these few items. My favorite things are the Vintage T, Perfect T, Sundress and a cropped cardigan. The fabrics are so soft and are pretty much wash and wear. Don't have to iron if you don't want to. I traveled with all these items and they pack really well. They were pretty wrinkle free when I hit my destination . I would love to have every color in these items. I was lucky the day I went they happened to be having a buy one get one free sale. I was able to get four t-shirts for the price of two. I've wore these items over and over this entire season. I am in LOVE :0)

Cropped Cardigan

Diane's Dream Brides Livonia Michigan

As you can tell. I will never stop with my bad reviews for Diane's Dream Brides. I find it completely odd that there are so many 5 star reviews for this shop. If you do find a negative and Diane sees it, she will ultimately spin the review around and make it the brides fault. That's just how I see it. My opinion and you know how that saying goes everyone's got one.  If one person reads my story and chooses not to buy a dress from there that is the reward I get for them not compensating me for all of the nonsense they put me through. As always Buyer Beware!!! You can say all you want with a smile but if you can't deliver, then it means nothing to me. In no way do I feel o.k. about the situation that occurred with Diane's Dream Brides. Yep I'm the one in a sea of reviews that got the doozie of a negative experience. I will not be swept under the rug. Other Brides should know this could happen to you too. Best of luck!

PS. While we're at it down with Casablanca dress makers.

Are you looking for a movie to rent? If so check this one out!

If you are looking for a cute, funny and quirky movie you should rent "Warm Bodies". I didn't think I was going to like it as much as I did. I don't know how the actors could make it through filming acting like these zombies without dying laughing. This movie kept a smile on my face. I loved it! You just have to see it :0)

Urban Decay Cosmetics

Urban Decay in Rockstar. One of my favorites.
I used this color as an accent for my wedding day make up.

I can't say enough how much I love Urban Decay Cosmetics. My favorite items are their eye shadows, lip pencils and eye liners. Their products last! They last on your face and they last in usage. Urban Decay cosmetics are highly pigmented. The items I've listed are just under $20 each for the individual sizes of the products. A lip liner lasts me 10 months and that's with sharpening. That figures out to be $2 per month. If I purchased a drug store item for lip liner I'd purchase that item probably 5 times within that 10 months. Also I probably would have switched brands or shades within that time trying to find something that lasted longer etc. I'm content with the Urban Decay colors I have and just applying in a different way to change my look. I don't bore easily with their products. As for eye shadows within 10 months I don't even hit pan. Looks almost new in it's packaging. I usually purchase my products through Ulta. Urban Decay is definitely worth the money. I've never been disappointed in the quality of their products.

Man of Steel- SUPERMAN

Man of Steel -Henry Cavill- A Warner Bros. film

MAN OF STEEL

Last night we went to the theater and saw the new movie "Man of Steel". We chose to go to the MJR theater. We really thought that the second day showing would still be packed for a just released movie. Somehow we only had about 25 people in our theater. Hey we loved having our own small screening. It's been a while since I've seen a movie that I loved. We saw Iron Man 3 with expectations that it was going to be good but it just seemed ok to me. I love all the superhero movies regardless. Man of Steel fits in the category of best movie I've seen in a while. Henry Cavill is a great Superman. All that you would hope for and lives up to. This is a must see movie. Tons of action, great acting and good story. We will definitely add this to our movie collection when it comes out on DVD.

Do you need a Laminator for work or crafts...I know the one you should get :0)

Apache AL13P Professional 13" Wide A3 4 Roll Hot Cold Laminator for Document and Photo

by Apache

To purchase go to http://www.amazon.com and search  "laminator" or cut and paste description above.

Believe it or not my Dad has been wanting a laminator. He's wanted one for a while. I couldn't think what to get him for Father's Day, so I got him the Apache laminator and purchased him some pouches separately. His gift came right on time and I had him open it before Father's Day. He already wants to laminate everything and my Mom wants to make placemats now lol. This looks exactly like a laminator I had at an old job and I loved that thing. The construction of The Apache is solid. It's well built and heavy duty. Instructions say it warms up in three minutes. I swear it was quicker than that. We tested it out and the lamination was awesome! Very nice piece of equipment. The price was $79.99 on the Amazon website. I only had to pay a few dollars extra and purchase pouches. I used my accumulated points/ dollars on my credit card. So the thing was practically free! I mean I was needing to buy groceries and gas anyway my as well benefit and get a cool gift for my Dad with it. It does take a while to save points but hey I think this was a good choice.
