No Publicity is bad publicity right?

Posted to Entertainment on May 15, 2013 - 04:47

So this past week an episode of Kitchen Nightmares featured a Restaurant called Amy's Baking Company (ABC) sounds like a sweet little bakery right? Well after the owners started receiving bad reviews on sites like Yelp they decided it was all a big conspiracy and everyone was out to get them. As a last result they called in Gordon Ramsey and his Kitchen Nightmare's team to find the real

Henry Ford Museum

Posted to Places on Mar 22, 2013 - 01:04

On the 26th of February I went on a field trip with my baby sister to the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn Michigan. The Henry Ford Museum is located on the same property as the Dearborn Ford plant the Ford Headquarters building and next to the Greenfield Village. I was a little disappointed because we were a day late for the Lego Land exhibit. Which featured famous buildings made from lego's. The Henry Ford Museum features a bunch of great famous exhibits! Including the chair Lincoln was assassinated in, the Rosa Parks bus, and the Weinermobile. There is also a large display of locomotives from old models to newer editions. My favorite part of the museum was the planes. They have tons of different types of planes. They even have a paper airplane station where they teach you how to make paper airplanes and then a testing station to see how far your plane can really travel. My sister was able to participate in a kid version of an assembly line making small toy trucks. The Museum is really great because kids can learn hands on and really care about what they're seeing and doing. We got lucky the day we went my sisters school was the only one booked for the day so we basically had free range of the museum! Within the museum they also offer 3 different locations to grab lunch, two are located on the museum floor and the other is located just outside the red rope entry (no worries you can get back in). 1. The Weinermobile Cafe: this little cafe is located in the western corner of the museum floor next to the Weinermobile. They feature things like Hot Dogs or chili dogs with chips. 2. Lamy's Diner: Which is located in the center of the Museum floor. It's in a refurbished 1950's train car styled Diner. They offer Coffee, Soup and a whole menu of other Diner styled offerings. 3. Michigan Cafe (where I had Lunch): This is located at the East entry of the building and has a changing menu. It's set up like a mini cafeteria and is prided that ALL the food products they offer are grown and processed in Michigan. I had a Burger and homemade chips and they were excellent. They even offer a selection of Michigan made Icecreams! The orange sherbet is heavenly! And Surprisingly the museum food isn't overpriced at all. The restaurants all offer a reasonably priced menu, unlike the souvinear shops. The admission into the museum is also pretty cheap it cost $17.00 for a day adult ticket and kids tickets are even cheaper! If you're ever in the Dearborn area and have some extra time this is definitely a well spent afternoon! Disclaimer All the photo's provided above were taken by me, please do not use them. Conversation Starters Have you been to this museum? What is your favorite museum? Pictures 1. The first photo is of the center entry hallway, the airplane at the end is suspended in the air. The halls of the museum are just as beautiful and hold just as much history as the museum floor itself. 2. This is a photo of a GIANT model train set. There were 4 or 5 running trains on it one featuring a camera that filmed wherever it was going. I took this picture inside the engine in photo 3. 3. My baby sister in front of a locomotive engine! This was monumental and we were able to go inside of it! 4. This is an old race car sponsered by Rislone which is a company I have worked for frequently and one my father works for!

Posted to Fashion on Mar 21, 2013 - 23:41

I've always loved the style that the clothes on Mod Clot have, but not necessarily their price. Luckily I received a $15 off $50 purchase so I used that as the opportunity to make my first purchase! I bought a dress and a pair of earrings! The dress I purchased was the Wish Upon Avon Dress It is a deep blue sleeved dress that has a square cut out detail on the back. The Dress cost was

Cherry Hair!

Posted to Health & Beauty on Mar 21, 2013 - 23:04

Around the beginning of February I went into one of the local salons and got my hair dyed professionally. I've had high lights and all that done professionally, but this is the first time I've ever had my whole head done. Honestly I'm not impressed. The lady dying my hair was really kind and the instant results were great, but the dye she used didn't come out the color I wanted. I was hoping

Scallops: The first attempt

Posted to Food on Mar 17, 2013 - 05:17

Scallops are one of my favorite things to order in restaurants! But I hate having to go to a restaurant for one of my favorite things to eat, so I thought I would learn to make them myself. Sadly scallops can be quite expensive they run $9.99 per LB at my local grocery store and that is a little to high for my college budget so I bought a huge bag of frozen scallops at Sams for $25.99. I was

OZ The Great and Powerful - REVIEW

Posted to Entertainment on Mar 15, 2013 - 22:08

Disney has done it again! Oz the Great and Powerful is the perfect movie to take your kids to see on a boring Sunday afternoon. It stars Wicked Witches from West to East with a few slimy characters in between. This movie begins in Kansas, but don't be fooled, this is no prequal to the Wizard of Oz film, this movie is based on the book series and there are more movies to come! The movies

February Maven: Classic with a Twist!

Posted to Health & Beauty on Feb 9, 2013 - 05:04

I received my Julep Maven last week and I was really happy with what i received this month! I was also surprised to find 2 extra polishes, an eyelash curler and some chocolates! I received 2 colored polishes and 2 extra polishes! Color Polish Claudette: Is a red polish inspired by Academy Award winner (1934) Claudette Colbert. I really like this color. It's my favorite of the two polishes. It is a deep bright red polish that has a slightly pink tinted undertone! Definitely a color worthy of Hollywood Glam! Helen: A lilac meets bubble gum shade. It is a soft creamy polish inspired by actress Helen Hunt. The shade is lovely but it doesn't go well with my skin tone it makes me look sick. Extra Polishes Freedom Polymer Top Coat: Warning on this one, the smell is STRONG! It is supposed to help your manicure last longer than a tradition top coat. The polymer blends creates a special seal that is formed under natural light! Which explains the blacked out bottle. It does give nails a lovely shine and i'm a sucker for a free top coat so i love it already! Oxygen Nail Treatment: This is a color and a nail treatment in one. The formula is supposed to make nails thicker, stronger and smoother! I can vouch for this! I applied it a few days ago and my nails haven't cracked or broken yet! I put it on underneath the Claudette and my nails feel really strong! Eyelash Curler: It came in a really cute tulle bag, it's made to be portable and it also came with little instructions. The only thing that makes me nervous about this is you have to get it really close to your eye to make sure it curls your lashes and it isn't the most comfortable thing, but it does the job! It also came with two little milk chocolate heart candies for valentines day of course! I don't eat candy so i gave them to my sisters, but they enjoyed it! So the value of my box! I paid $19.99 for my February Julep classic With a Twist box The products I received are worth: Claudette: $14.00 Helen: $14.00 Freedom: $18.00 Oxygen: $18.00 Eyelash Curler: Unknown For a total of $64.00 I saved $44.00 That's not a bad deal at all! A bonus i actually enjoy the polishes this month for the most part! I might part with my Helen though. Conversation Starters 1. Are you a maven? 2. What do you think of the box this month?
