Salon Perfect x Wonka Nail Collection

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

Almost two weeks ago, the movie Wonka premiered in theaters. As with other movies I’m interested in watching, I didn’t have plans to see it in theaters (I like to see them on DVD or streaming them at home) but I was excited to see all the tie in and inspired by merchandise available.

I found one of the Wonka inspired collections in the beauty section of Walmart. I was surprised to find it because I wasn’t expecting it to be available! I did end up purchasing some nail polishes from the collection, but I will talk about that in a different post.

A few weeks ago, I discovered the Walmart I like to shop at had holiday hair accessories from the brand Kitsch. I have see n Kitsch available at the store before, but I was happy to see the holiday collection. The accessories available to purchase was a slimed down version of what was available in the collection, but I enjoyed seeing them.

In addition to the holiday collection, there were accessories from the Elf x Kitsch collection. I was really happy to see them! I wanted to look at accessories from the collection in person.

Movie Review: Curious George: A Halloween Boo Fest (2013)

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

Back in October 2020, I was stressed out due to the pandemic and everything that happened or didn’t happen because of it. On the suggestion of some of my friends, I started watch PBS children programing. At that time, some of my friends were pregnant and wanted to watch as many children’s movies and TV shows to see if they would like to show their children once they were born. I didn’t mind helping out, so I started watching a lot of children’s programing.

Despite being an adult woman in her 30’s without any children, I actually enjoyed watching children’s programing. Some of the PBS programs, like Arthur, was nostalgic, and others, such as Let’s Go Luna, was new and made me wonder if I would actually like it as a child. Some PBS shows I liked more than others. One of my favorites was Curious George.

During the weeks leading up to Halloween, PBS began to show many Halloween specials for children. This included one of my favorite Curious George movies and episodes, A Halloween Boo Fest. A Halloween Boo Fest is a stand alone, one hour movie about an adventure Curious George has during Halloween. Ever since I saw it for the first time, I fell in love with it. Even though I am a 30 something year old woman without children, I love the story, the pacing, the moral of the story, and the animation. In the absence of It’s the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown! on TV, A Halloween Boo Fest has become my favorite replacement. Since it is nearing Halloween, I wanted to write a review about the movie.

O.P.I. x Barbie Nail Polish Collection Haul Part 2

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

After purchasing my first haul of polishes (Or nail lacquer) from the O.P.I. x Barbie collection, I thought my shopping for the nail polishes was done. After all, purchased all the colors I really wanted and, even though I didn’t get the color I wanted the most, I was happy just to have the colors I have.

A few weeks after I purchased the polishes, I found some of the colors still available for purchase at Walmart. This time, they were on sale for a deep discount. After thinking about the nail polishes, I decided it was such a great savings to pass up. So, I purchased three of the four remaining colors I don’t have in my collection.

A Few Thoughts on My Larger-Than-Expected Hallmark Christmas Movie DVD Collection

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

Recently, I began to sort through my DVDs collection. Overall, I am happy with my DVD collection, but there was one thing that surprised me about it: I have a lot of Hallmark Christmas movies on DVD!

I had no idea I collected that many over the years! There are well over 20 movies in my collection (I’m lowballing my estimate) and many of them I already watched. I also don’t want to get rid of them either.

Even though there are people who will say to get rid of them because I have too many, I won’t. I did get rid of a few, but I don’t want to get rid of most of them. After looking in awe and amazement over my large collection, I realized a few things about myself I didn’t think about.

The unofficial start to summer is a little over a week away. For me, one of the highlights of summertime is the new movies that are released in theaters. This year is the first year when people can attend movies theaters to watch movies that are available to watch in theaters only.

Sadly, there aren’t many movies that peaked my interest this year. Still, there are five movies that caught my eye and makes me want to watch them. I’m not sure if I’ll be able to go to the theater and see them (Depends on several things, including work and my vehicle’s dependability) but if I can, here are the movies I want to see this summer.

On November 29, 2022, CBS aired Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer. Even though I owned the show on DVD, I watched this year’s broadcast due to an overwhelming need for Christmas nostalgic. After the show ended, a new, one hour show premiered on CBS. The show, called Reindeer in Here, was a new show for 2022. Since it was new, I decided to watch it.
