Are you ready for Breaking Dawn!?!?!

Its back!  Twilight fans can rejoice because Breaking Dawn part 1,the fourth movie in the Twilight installment, is in theaters Right Now!  

Movie Review:  Breaking Dawn was better than expected and leaves you wanting more.  Edward and Bella had the most beautiful wedding, with hundreds if not thousands, of flowers hanging over the ceremony and guests.  The honeymoon spot was absolutely gorgeous, completely unrealistic, but that's ok, we can all dream.  As the movie went on and Bella's health began deteriorating she took on the look of a gaunt anorexic patient...until she started drinking blood.  It was disgusting, but nowhere near as disgusting and gory as the birthing scene.   

Over the years, we have seen the acting ability of the actors evolve. It's clear that the hair and makeup artists have stepped up their game too.  Alice finally got a cute hairdo and the vampires, for the first time, didn't look like they were rolled in white powder.  I personally think critics are too harsh regarding the Twilight movies, I take it for what it is...a teen book series made into movies.  Though some of the scenes in this movie are unintentionally funny, overall it was good.  Bring on Breaking Dawn part 2.  I'm ready for it!

Breaking Dawn surprises:

* Stephenie Meyer makes a cameo in the wedding scene. It's quick, so keep your eyes peeled.
* You might think the movie is over when the credits start rolling, but its not!  So, stay in your seat for the extra Volturi scene...
* The cover of the "Breaking Dawn" book shows a white chess king on a chessboard with a red pawn in the background. It's a little unusual since chess pieces are more often black and white, not white and red, but you'll see the book cover recreated in a honeymoon scene, and yes, the colors match the cover.  (according to MSNBC)

Rumors & Gossip:

Several news outlets have reported that the Breaking Dawn cast has not been getting along.  At a recent event, it was reported that as soon as the cameras turned off the cast was "cold and cliquey."  Are Kristen, Rob, and Taylor too big for the others?  Are the other cast members jealous of all the media time the three are getting?  Is it just life, not everyone is going to clique?

Breaking Dawn quick recap:
Bella and Edward get married and spend their honeymoon on a private island off the coast of Brazil.  Two weeks into their honeymoon Bella realizes shes pregnant.  Edward and Bella immediately return to Forks, Washington to figure out how this has happened.  The Quileute wolf pack becomes nervous that the baby could be an out of control killer and make a plan to kill it and Bella.  Jacob protests and breaks off from the pack.

Bella eventually gives birth, and the baby breaks many of Bella's bones, including her spine.  As Bella begins to die, Edward injects Bella with venom and she turns into a Vampire.  Jacob "imprints" on Renesmee, Edward and Bella's baby.  As Bellas transforms into a vampire and explores her new abilities the others are amazed at her gift, she is a shield.
One day when Bella was out with Renesmee, another vampire named Irina spots them and thinks that Renesmee is an "immortal child."  Vampires are not allowed to reproduce, create an "immortal child," because the young vampires can't be controlled.  Irina contacts the Volturi.

The Cullens contact vampires from all over the world to stand as witness that Renesmee is not a baby vampire that will loose control.  The Cullens know that the Volturi are just looking for an excuse to attack them and take their family down.  All of the vampires, along with the wolves, begin training to fight the Volturi in case of an attack. The Cullens show the Volturi that Renesmee poses no threat and the Volturi leave.  Edward, Bella and Renesmee can now live their life in peace....Happily Ever After.

Team Edward:
I love Edward all day long, every day!  Jacob is a hottie, but I am Team Edward.  The younger generation tends to love Jacob and the older tends to love Edward. 








Team Jacob:

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bars

Thanksgiving is just around the corner and we all look forward to the best part of the meal, the Pumpkin Pie! But I have a pie alternative for you this year to try. They are the most delicious pumpkin chocolate chip bars! I make these every year and they are such a hit! And they are super easy to make, so you'll have no problem wowing your friends and family.

Pumpkin-Chocolate-Chip Bars

Prep: 30 minutes Total: 2 hours 30 minutes - Makes 24.

In addition to keeping the cake from sticking to the pan, lining the pan with foil makes it easy to lift it out after baking. If you can't find pumpkin-pie spice, substitute 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon, 3/4 teaspoon ginger, 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg, and 1/2 teaspoon each allspice and cloves (all ground).

INGREDIENTS

• 2 cups all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
• 1 tablespoon pumpkin-pie spice
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
• 1 1/4 cups sugar
• 1 large egg
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
• 1 package (12 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line bottom and sides of a 9-by-13-inch baking pan with foil, leaving an overhang on all sides. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, pie spice, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
2. With an electric mixer, cream butter and sugar on medium-high speed until smooth; beat in egg and vanilla until combined. Beat in pumpkin puree (mixture may appear curdled). Reduce speed to low, and mix in dry ingredients until just combined. Fold in chocolate chips.
3. Spread batter evenly in prepared pan. Bake until edges begin to pull away from sides of pan and a toothpick inserted in center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached, 35 to 40 minutes. Cool completely in pan.
4. Lift cake from pan (using foil as an aid). Peel off foil, and use a serrated knife to cut into 24 squares.

Try making these pumpkin chocolate chip bars this year and let me know what you think! Enjoy :)

Our Favorite Things - Fifth Edition

Hey Friends!


Here  is the fifth edition of Our Favorite Things! What are some of yours?


Udder Cream

Udderly Smooth Udder Cream, now this sounds weird, I know. Even the label and directions talk about using this on cow's udders. But it's also for humans, I swear. It is the best, most moisturizing lotion. I use it every night before bed. It smells good, soaks in fast and isn't greasy at all. I use it on my hands, feet, legs, arms, udders, lol, everything.

 

Christina Perri's Album, Lovestrong

This is my new favorite artist, Christina Perri. You may have heard her 'Jar of Hearts' song on the radio. She even has a new song for the upcoming Breaking Dawn soundtrack. I listen to her album at least once a week. Check out her album today. One of my favorite songs is Bluebird. Check it out here.

PreNatal Vitamins

Now you don't need to be 'trying' for a baby to take these. And it's a sure fire way to freak out your boyfriend, husband or booty call by having them on the nightstand. But they have super powers, I swear. I started taking them about two months ago at the recommendation of a friend. My nails have gotten stronger, longer. My hair is shinier and stronger too. They are also easy on your stomach, so much easier to take than a one a day vitamin. Try it and I promise within a month, you'll start seeing results.

Way More Chocolate Chips Cookies

If you like chocolate then these cookies may be for you.  I usually only like soft cookies, but these are the best hard cookies I have had in a while.  Only problem is that it's hard to only eat the serving size of three cookies. 

 

She's the Man

She's the Man came out in 2006.  So how is it that I just saw it this week?!?!  Amanda Bynes is so funny as a boy!  If you are into romantic comedy movies made for tweens then this is the movie for you.  Also, Channing Tatum is looking real good and he is shirtless in a lot of the scenes. 

Estee Lauder High Gloss

This lip gloss gives just the perfect amount of color and isn't sticky like some of the other brands.  I recently recieved four free sample tubes of this and as soon as they run out I'll be running out to the store for more.
