Where will we live?

Finding a home has it's up and downs and dodging of bullets (if you don't research the neighborhood well enough) and a case of headaches all on its own, but throw in a marriage into the mix and it adds just that much more. The one question that make take more than a few minutes to ponder over is...

Where will we live?

What if your spouse is originally from the other side of town or another state? What if your job has caused you to move away from your parents, but now you feel like it's the perfect time to move closer to them?



In the second episode of Married At First Sight (the 2nd season), Jaclyn and Ryan R. already had a bumpy start with Jaclyn not being attracted to Ryan R. at all and she sure did not have an ounce of fear to share that with the cameras. But on top of all that she's in love with her job as a sales representative for a popular vodka brand in  New Jersey. Her now husband is from Long Island living with his mother and niece, whom lost both parents. She immediately told him she couldn't and quite frankly wouldn't move because her job is in New Jersey and he was left dumbfounded. His mother and niece whom he supports and planned on continuing to support are in Long Island. He has been his niece's uncle, brother and father in times of need. This will definitely be a talking point for the new couple. What would you do in this situation?



When my now husband and I were deciding on where to move we were lucky to have grown up in the same city where our parents still remained. We knew we wanted to move away from our hometown but still be within driving and most importantly "picking up meals from my mom"-distance. 

Originally, I had my heart set on Anaheim, CA. That's the only city I did all my apartment research in. And boy was it a lot of research. I am talking about excel docs and yelp reviews and apartment ratings and crime reports. Slowly that research expanded over into other surrounding cities. We had found a couple of apartments but none that we absolutely loved. Then out of the blue my sister told us about a for rent sign that was at an apartment complex near her. Fast forward to now and here we are. In that apartment my sister found for us. We loved it the instant we saw it. And luckily it's only 20 minutes away from our parents. It definitely is our...

Fight for What You Deserve

Who said Chick Flicks couldn't be wild? African Cats is a movie that reaches out to help preserve the life of animals in need while still being a Chick Flick. African Cats follows the life of lions, lionesses and cheetahs as they fight to stay alive. It is hard not to fall in love with the young cubs like Mara. Mara is the only daughter to Layla, the oldest and most experienced lioness. Layla is an independent lioness who fights until the end to protect not only her daughter but the complete pack. As the protagonist in the film, Layla leads by example by displaying her never ending courage and strength. She is a single mother who is able to take on the role as a leader and overcomes many struggles. The independence, challenges and loss captured in this film make it a qualified Chick Flick.

Awwright! Awwright! Awwwwriiiight!

I don’t know about you, but I love a movie that can make me laugh. Comedy stand ups are always a hit when I’m looking to work out my abs the easy way. What happens when you combine the movie experience with a comedy stand-up? You get the perfect creation of Kevin Hart’s LAUGH AT MY PAIN .  This movie captures Kevin Hart’s most successful comedy tour yet and takes us behind the scenes to where all his creativity began. He grew up in a bad neighborhood in Philadelphia with just his mother, as his father was a drug addict who wasn’t welcome at the home. Despite his father’s addictions Kevin was still able to have a relationship with him. Their relationship wasn’t what most would call normal, but regardless it definitely played a key role in LAUGH AT MY PAIN.  Even as a successful comedian, Kevin is one to proudly state he can’t flaunt as if spending money isn’t a thing to him. He portrays his endless scenarios of when putting up large sums of money becomes a pr...
