With awards season just a few weeks away I am trying to squeeze in as many movies as possible. This weekend I went with a friend to see "Collateral Beauty." The film stars Will Smith as a father mourning the loss of his six-year-old daughter.
When I was home in Miami, FL over Thanksgiving my mother and my sister were raving about the new Netflix original series "The Crown." They had both devoured it within days. Personally, I was hesitant to watch because I don't usually enjoy those types of shows. I couldn't get into "Downton Abbey" or "The Tudors," not even with smoking hot Jonathan Rhys Meyers.
Since October I have been a traveling bandit. I've been to New York City, San Francisco, back to New York, Los Angeles, Miami and back to San Francisco. I feel tired just typing that.
Of all the aforementioned trips, the only one that was not for work was Miami. I flew home for Wednesday - Monday morning of Thanksgiving week. Because I was able to stay for so long, I had plenty of play time in addition to the festive meal on Turkey Day.
With the Golden Globes fast approaching (January 8, 2017) I have been making a conscious effort to see as many of the nominated movies as possible. A few weeks ago I saw Loving and last weekend I went to Manchester By The Sea. The star of the film, Casey Affleck, is already generating major Oscar buzz.
When I first picked up Dog Training The American Male I thought it might be a humorous take on a self-help book about dating and relationships. I was pleasantly surprised to learn it was actually a work of fiction about a woman in a new relationship who finds herself house training a dog at the same time she moves in with her boyfriend. You can see where this is going!
Over Thanksgiving weekend Netflix released the much anticipated Gilmore Girls revival called "A Year In The Life." I watched Gilmore Girls live when it was on, I own the entire series on DVD and I've even re-watched all seven seasons on Netflix. For my fellow die hard fans, I am Team Jess.
I was really anxious to see how Netflix would bring us back to Stars Hollow after all this time. The reason the new episodes are called "A Year In The Life" is because there are four installments - one per season (winter, spring, summer and fall). Each episode is 90 minutes long.
For the seventh and final installment of this year's holiday gift guide we're talking about items for your four-legged friends. Adopting Scout 18 months ago was one of the best decisions of my life and I love to spoil him rotten.
I love shopping in general, but I really love shopping for my little cousins. There are five of them - three boys and two girls - and I have the best time hunting for new things to surprise them. If you have kiddos in your life, I hope today's guide will help you wow them this year.
Let's start with this baby snow suit which makes my heart explode. How cute is this? Can't you just picture a sweet baby with chubby cheeks poking out of this?
Admittedly, Pop.Bop.Shop. is usually focused on #AllTheSingleLadies. That being said, today we turn our attention to the guys in our lives - dads, brothers, cousins, significant others, best friends, coworkers and neighbors.
For me, there is no greater thrill than finding the perfect present. Each year for birthdays and the holiday season I really challenge myself to find special, unique and personal gifts for the people I love.
I happen to have an outrageously awesome and generous girl squad, so today's gift guide theme "for the BFF" is dedicated to them.
One of my favorite things about the holiday season is all of the parties. I love getting dressed up, putting on something extra sparkly and braving the cold to share an evening with friends.
I don't know about you, but whenever I attend a holiday party, I always like to bring a surprise for the host or hostess. As someone who entertains regularly in my own home and knows how much prep and work goes into throwing a great celebration, I like to show my appreciation with a thoughtful gift.
It's day two of the annual Pop.Bop.Shop. holiday gift guide and today we're talking about gifts for the foodies in your life. We all have those friends or family members who are adventurous cooks, marvelous bakers or home growers. This year delight them with unexpected gifts to nurture their culinary talents.
I love these whimsical measuring cups from Anthropologie. They look like something straight out of the Mad Hatter's tea party.
