My Comfort Food Go-To: Abuelita’s Aguadito Recipe

This post is sponsored by Mirum, but opinions expressed are my own. Everyone has that comfort food they remember growing up. For most, it’s a chicken soup or a stew that mom or grandma made either when you were sick or during those cold winter months. Now, my mom made a killer Parihuela but that was a special occasion thing, and too rich to be comfort. My abuelita’s Aguadito, however, *chef’s … [Read more...]

How Ralph Breaks The Internet Brought The Internet To Life

Imagine having to explain the internet to someone who had never heard of it, who probably hasn't even seen a computer, what would you say? It's an invisible place that you can connect to and read and watch stories from all over the world, right? Sure, but show me how! That's where it gets tricky. That's exactly what the creative team behind Ralph Breaks The Internet was tasked to do by … [Read more...]

How That Amazing Princess Scene Came To Be In “Ralph Breaks The Internet”

The long-anticipated sequel to Wreck-It Ralph, justly called Ralph Breaks The Internet, took last year's D23 by storm when they unveiled a hilarious, and a very unexpected clip featuring all the Disney Princesses in their canon. The clip, which shows Vanellope Von Schweetz (Sarah Silverman) meeting the princesses in a sitting room, sent the audience into roars of laughter, and the internet was … [Read more...]

Sea World Summer- The SoCal Daycation Destination

This post is in collaboration with Sea World.  Growing up with 2 siblings and a single mom, summer vacations were carefully planned, budgeted for and a road trip away. To me, summer always meant San Diego and Sea World. Now, many many years later, summer means a lot of things to my family but I still always try to head down to San Diego and Sea World has become one of our favorite placed to … [Read more...]

“Mission Impossible Fallout” Or How Tom Cruise Schools All Action Stars On How It’s Done

“Mission Impossible Fallout” Or How Tom Cruise Schools All Action Stars On How It’s Done

It's rare that I sit down to write a review and all I could think of yelling is "RUN TO SEE THIS MOVIE AS SOON AS YOU CAN" but here we are. Mission Impossible: Fallout is the best in the franchise, by far and it raises the bar for every action film to come after it. Yes, every single one, be it Marvel, or DC, or whatever, the platinum standard has been set. This is Christopher McQuarrie telling … [Read more...]

REVIEW: SKYSCRAPER Lifts Us Up Where We Belong

07/10/2018 by Courtney Howard

REVIEW: SKYSCRAPER Lifts Us Up Where We Belong

There are two kinds of people in this world: Those who celebrate a movie in which America’s most beloved hero, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, leaps from a crane to a building engulfed in flames, and those who don’t. I don’t want to know any of the latter. Writer-Director Rawson Marshall Thurber’s SKYSCRAPER doesn’t reinvent the wheel, but it does add much-needed flair, fire and feminism to a genre … [Read more...]

Exclusive Interview: Matthew Miele Captures Living History In ALWAYS AT THE CARLYLE

If you don’t get that story from that person then that story is lost. There are certain legendary institutions sprinkled all over New York City with such a rich historical legacy. Director Matthew Miele has now captured three of them. Back in 2013, he took us behind the scenes at one of the grandest department stores in SCATTER MY ASHES AT BERGDORF’S. In 2106, he snuck audiences behind closed … [Read more...]

3 Easy (But Trendy) Styling Tips When You’re Running Late #SoWorthIt

This is a sponsored post in a collaboration with JCPenney #SoWorthIt. All thoughts are my own. The biggest thing no one tells you about becoming a mom? That you will never be on time again. My life is rushing to get things done and squeezing in minutes to get all the groceries done, the school pick ups and more. Even when I give myself a head start, I wind up running late. Every. Single. … [Read more...]
