The Perfect Heist
If you haven’t seen Money Heist on Netflix yet then you might be missing out. While Money Heist is popular it took me a long time to cave into watching it because it honestly seemed like more hype than anything else. Upon starting the series I also discovered this isn’t a new TV series, nope, not even close. It has four seasons so far! So far, I’ve only seen the first season. Money Heist is somewhat what it sounds like. The good guys can be the bad guys and the bad guys can be the good guys… and Tokyo isn’t just a city. There are many characters, each with their…

The Devil All the Time
Coming up during the month of May 2020 Netflix is making bookworms happy once again by releasing one of many movies based on books. On May 15th Netflix will be releasing The Devil All the Time based on the screenplay adaption that was written by Antonio and Paulo Campos. The screenplay adaption is based on the book, The Devil All the Time, by Donald Ray Pollock. “Some people were born just so they could be buried.” The Devil All the Time takes place in the 1960s after World War II in southern Ohio. The story line revolves around people that suffer from psychological damage due to the war. “Strangers complained…

All the Bright Places
Netflix released All the Bright Places February 28th, 2020. The movie is based on the novel All the Bright Places by Jennifer Niven. It is surely a movie for John Green fans. If John Green, author of The Fault In Our Stars, watched All the Bright Places and wasn’t impressed then I would be shocked. Meet Violet Markey, played by Elle Fanning. Violet is just a girl in a big world that met unfortunate circumstances and is full of more grief than one person should have to deal with. Meet Theodore Finch, played by Justice Smith. Theodore had to grow up too soon and has his own plate of unfortunate…

Hearties Domain
Thanks to Netflix, as usual, I found a new (new to me) TV show to fall into. Hallmark’s TV show When Calls the Heart has pulled me in and thrown me into The Hearties fan base. The fan base seems to be ever-growing. When Calls the Heart has been running for 6 seasons strong so far. Season 7 premieres February 23rd, 2020 on the Hallmark channel at 8:00 P.M. EST / 7:00 P.M. CST. Famous Hallmark actor, Erin Krakow, stars as Elizabeth Thatcher. Other popular Hallmark actors include Pascale Hutton, Kavan Smith, Daniel Lissing and more! Remember Rebecca from the TV show Full House? Lori Loughlin also stars in When…

Witchy Valentine’s Day
Happy Valentine’s Day, Readers! To kick off Valentine’s Day I am doing something that I have never done on any of my websites or blogs in the past… a small makeup review, which I’m sure my friend, Yong Mi, is ecstatic about. On a side note, be sure to check out her Instagram for new upcoming fitness videos! She is doing a great job! If you’re trying to lose weight or are a beginner and just want to stay healthy then her Instagram account is a must-follow. NYX rolled out their cosmetic line for Netflix’s popular series Chilling Adventures of Sabrina. This line of makeup is inspired by Part 3…

Queen & King of Scots
Finally checked out the ever popular CW TV series, Reign. Thanks to Netflix all of the seasons are available to stream. I’m a little bit of a sucker for a good historical themed TV show. Reign is definitely on my top list of historical themed TV shows. The actors used in the show were very well chosen. The actor for King Henry II looked very familiar. While watching Reign it suddenly hit me… Shadowhunters! Alan Van Sprang played King Henry II in Reign but also played Valentine Morgenstern on Shadowhunters. It was a little odd at first knowing he played Valentine… but he did such a good job as King…

Little Women Little Late
The most recent Little Women movie remake has been out for a while now, since December 25th, which means it won’t be at the movie theater much longer. Little Women is based on the book Little Women by Louisa May Alcott. My favorite Little Women remake was the 1994 version. However, when I found at that Emma Watson was starring in the most recent remake that alone made me want to see it. Unfortunately, due to work and life in general I haven’t been able to see the movie. —– Pura Vida Jewelry

Getting Into the Bubbly Sesh
Hey Hallmarkies, While it’s 100% clear that I’m a Netflix Geek, I am most definitely a Hallmarkie on top of that. So, maybe I’m far behind when it comes to listening to podcasts but I’m sure there are some of you out there who don’t have a huge list of podcasts that you listen to religiously as well. There were a few podcasts that I followed on Spotify to listen to later. Bubbly Sesh was one of those podcasts… and the only good one on that list in my opinion. Bubbly Sesh Podcast is hosted by Jacks and Shawl. Last year Bubbly Sesh became the official Hallmark Channel Podcast. Not…

Hail Spinning Out
One of Netflix’s latest Netflix Original TV series brings back figure skating to the screen. Spinning Out was released on January 1st, 2020. Since it was recently released I won’t spoil the TV series for all of you. Spinning Out revolves around the figure skating world and mental illness. I am a huge fan of The Cutting Edge movies. All four of the movies are good but the first one and fourth one are my favorites. So, when Spinning Out released I was definitely excited. Kaya Scodelario, famous for her role in The Maze Runner, stars in Spinning Out. Ms. Scodelario has done an amazing acting job in each episode…
