In a previous Blogmas post, I reviewed the 1942 movie Holiday Inn. In 2016, a theater musical version of the movie premiered on Broadway. In the 75th Anniversary edition DVD set I purchased of Holiday Inn, a pro shot version of the Broadway musical production was included as well as the 1942 movie.
Since it was included in the DVD set, I decided to watch the Broadway musical version and review it as well. Continue reading “Movie Review: Holiday Inn (Broadway 2016 Pro Shot Version)”
When I began preparing for this year’s Blogmas, I decided to focus on reviewing movies in order to have post already prepared and scheduled without worrying about writing a new post every day. One of the movies I debated if I should review is the 1942 movie of Holiday Inn. 2020 is not a great year and, after the social unrest and Black Lives Matter movement gaining more attention and traction than ever before, I didn’t like the idea of reviewing Holiday Inn. Out of all the Christmas movies in my movie collection, Holiday Inn is one of the most controversial because of a blackface routine in the movie. Although I, a white woman, felt hesitant to review this movie, I still felt like I wanted to talk about it in a movie review.
Last year, while on a visit to one of my friend’s home, we talked about Hallmark Channel Christmas movies. We talked about how silly and ridiculous many of them are as well as some of our favorites. One of my friends suggested I watch Christmas at Dollywood whenever it comes out on DVD. It sounded like a movie I would enjoy watching, especially since Dolly Parton is in the movie, so I made sure to keep an eye out for a DVD of it. After searching, I finally found one at my closest Walmart in October. I bought it and, after watching it, I can finally say what think of the movie.

In the 1990’s, before the Hallmark Channel was the Hallmark Channel, there was the Hallmark Hall of Fame on CBS. I remember watching the Hallmark Hall of Fame movies on Sundays during holiday season, specifically Christmas time. Although there are some movies I really didn’t like, there was a few that stood out to me as my favorites. One of those movies is called The Love Letter.
Although I plan to review Hallmark Channel Christmas movies this year for Blogmas, I wanted to review this movie first because it was the first Hallmark movie I ever saw and is to this day one of my favorite Hallmark movies ever.

For my birthday last month, I decided to buy myself a Sephora advent calendar. I really wanted to get an advent calendar for a few year, but I never did. Sephora’s advent calendars are known on social media as not as good as other advent calendars from beauty brands, but, after looking at Sephora’s 2020 calendar, I decided to give it a try.
Now that it’s December, I decided to open the calendar every day for 24 days because that’s what an advent calendar is supposed to be for. Before I start opening the calendar, I wanted to show what it looks like and what it contains. Continue reading “Sephora 2020 Wild Wishes Advent Calendar”
After shopping at Walmart’s Christmas section for the past few weeks, I found a few Christmas tree ornaments that stood out to me and quickly became my favorites. Although it’s still November, I wanted to share some photographs of my favorite ornaments. The ornaments in this post are sold individually, not in a set, and do not include any Hallmark ornaments or officially licensed ornaments. I did find many Hallmark ornaments and ornament sets I really liked, but I decided not to share them in this post. Continue reading “Favorite Walmart Christmas Tree Ornaments for 2020”
In part 1 of my Too Faced Holiday 2020 gift set post, I mentioned that there are more gift sets in the store. Those gift sets were not located in the Too Faced section of the store, but in the middle of the store.

In October, I went to Ulta Beauty to look at the new Too Faced holiday gift sets for 2020. I tried many times over in September to look at the gift sets in store, but the store didn’t get any gift sets, Too Faced or any other brand, until October. I’m happy I could see the sets in store and decide what kind of sets I want to buy for myself or for others.
Even though I went to the store to look for gift sets to give as gifts or as a gift to myself, I took photographs of them in order to decide what I wanted to buy and what I didn’t. Since I had so many photographs, I decided to write a series of posts about the holiday gift sets I saw at Ulta Beauty, starting with the Too Faced gift sets. Continue reading “Too Faced Holiday 2020 Gift Sets at Ulta Beauty- Part 1”
A while ago, I went to Ulta Beauty to see what the make up holiday collections and gift sets looks like. While there, I saw Too Faced’s 2020 holiday collection. Although I saw the whole collection in store, I wanted to talk about the make up that would be great for fall or Thanksgiving as well as Christmas.
