iPhone 4. This changes everything. Again. (I love that from Apple)

New Phone.

Cool "Face Talk" Option but you need to be a iphone 4 owner!

Battery life is INSANE!

Highly Recommended.

Inception.

I recently saw this movie and it is AMAZING.

Not scary, Not Gross of blood and guts, not horror!

Tons of suspense!

Definitely a lot of "omg what is going on" type of questions!

Leonardo DiCaprio does a fantastic job!

I think he is a awesome actor who definitely does NOT get the credit he deserves!!

Ellen Page is also fantastic in the movie as well!

I highly recommend this to EVERYONE!!

A must see!!

Romeo + Juliet. A modern day perspective.

So, back in grade 6... I looved this movie.

Well I was more in total little girl crush with Leonardo DiCaprio (like every other girl in the world) but this movie was so intense and I just love love loved it!

This version of Romeo+Juliet has modern day aspects yet what I absolutely loved about it, they kept the feel of Shakespeare in this movie by using the same written language as in the play and kept the names of the cities and the names of the characters the same. This time with modern music, modern day illegal things (guns and drugs... what could go wrong) and of course Leo.

Adorable.

Gosh, he looks young here. Crazy to think that he was 22 in the movie (1996)

even more mind boggling, he will be 40 in a few years!

He is so pretty.

I have to admit, I'm not the biggest fan of Claire Danes, but she was a cutie in this movie. 

but he is just so pretty ;)

Love this movie.

Rated 10 +++++

D.Bag.

Hello Mr. Douche Bag.

All I have to say is...

Seriously, Jesse James? Seriously?

Ugh. You even look like a total douche bag.

Ha ha if you google "adultery" guess who comes up ;)

I mean, I'm sure not everything was roses and sunshine in their personal life, but no one deserves such blatant disrespect.

Especially since the rumour was it was during Sandra's "The Blind Side" movie. 

That movie is about the power of family and second chances, and doing right by the people you care about... and then this happens to a very sweet and caring woman.

(I don't actually know her personally, but she seems so darn nice!!)

Not cool, Jesse James! Not cool!!!

Mmm Mojitos.

i love mojitos.

I recently discovered them a few months ago and I physically cannot get enough of them.

They are cool, refreshing and just so yummy.

I have tried a few different ways to make them, and there are a few different ways.

Here is the best way I have found...

Ingredients needed:

2-3 oz of light rum

1 oz of lime juice

2 tsp. of sugar

2-4 mint sprigs

soda water

1 lime

Instructions:

To make a fancy finishing touch:

1. Before putting wet ingredients in highball glass, take the lime and cut it in 4 quartres, use a knife and make a small slice in the middle of the lime. put the lime on the rim of the glass and slide it around the entire rim of the glass.

2. with a small bowl of sugar handy, dip the rim of the glass in the sugar so it has the frosted look.

3. Lightly muddle the mint and sugar with a splash of soda water in a mixing glass until the sugar dissolves and you smell the mint.

4.Squeeze the lime juice into the glass, add rum and shake with ice.

5. In the highball glass garnished with sugar rim, put ice and remaining slices of lime - strain over cracked ice.

6. Top with soda water and garnish with mint sprigs and serve.

Mmmm Mojitos!
