Weekend Highlights

Saturday was a highly anticipated day in the world of Melificent. I was finally going to see The Deathly Hallows with some of my closest friends at Cinebistro, a 21+ theater that serves you dinner and drinks as you enjoy the movie. Without giving away any spoilers (I know a lot of people have yet to see the film), the movie was nothing short of incredible. It stayed true to the book and really did a great job evoking all the intense feelings that are swimming all throughout the series closer. I’ve always complained that watching the movies does not compare to reading the books, but while watching Part 1, all the same emotions I felt while reading the book came right back up to the surface. In other words, I was a big heaping pile of loser. I don’t even know how I’m going to handle the second chapter, perhaps with an industrial size tissue box.

Happy Belated Hump Day: Hogwarts Edition

I know. It’s not hump day. Yesterday was hump day. But cut me some slack, I couldn’t dare post about some hot piece on the day of my wedding anniversary. It would just be wrong. Anyways, I’m a strong supporter of better late than never, and these guys were worth the wait. Literally. We’ve watched the Potter kids grow up as they’ve played the roles of some of our most beloved literary characters: Harry Potter, Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley. And now, in only a matter of hours, theaters will be throwing open their doors to welcome the throngs of dedicated fans that have been waiting anxiously to lay eyes on the first half of the last chapter of the series. My one tip for tonight’s viewers? Bring Kleenex. Lots of it. Accio picspam!

Lovable Friday!

1. Vivienne Westwood Shoes

I’ve decided that Vivienne Westwood is a vile and evil sorceress that is hell bent on destroying my bank account. I also place a little of the blame on Rock ‘n Roll Bride for introducing me to her absolutely adorable collection. The second I set eyes on them I became obsessed with having them, along with the heart shoes. I started scouring Ebay and Google in a frenzy, but unfortunately, they are still out of my price range. I’m hoping someone somewhere will take pity on me and purchase them for me. Gosh, this shoe fetish is just getting out of control.

1. DIY Colored Mason Jars

It’s no secret: I love easy DIY projects! Although I don’t consider myself to be very crafty, I can do spray painting without any difficulties. Promise. And this simple DIY project consisting of a can of spray paint and a pack of mason jars really does it for me. Just think of these pretties adorning a table at an event or even as a centerpiece for a shower – they would be so perfect! And the best part is that they would take minimal time and effort, as well as be gentle on your wallet. I, for one, can’t wait to give these babies a test run. If you are also interested, you can pick up large packs of mason jars at Big Lots for under $15! Thank me later ;)

Terribull’s Last Day

Hello Meli Dolls,

Today is my last day as Meli’s guest blogger… it’s been a treat to get to post  to her fantastic site and be a part of her blog.  Hopefully I will be lucky enough to get to guest blog for Meli again in the future when she goes on another adventure.

On to the good stuff…

So, how many of you watched Dexter? The premier was AMAZING… I am full of questions and already counting the moments until I get to see more… What road do you think that Dexter’s Dark Passenger will take?

Tonight is Glee… my other favorite, it’s the Britney Spears episode featuring six of her hit songs, I cant wait to see Heather Morris shine as a more than a supporting character in this one.

Well loves, off to get the day started…  I’m my own shameless promotion, my blog is still a work in progress, but I hope to keep in touch with you all there (eventually).

xoxo Terribull

Weekend Wrap-Up

Hello Meli Lovers!

This weekend has been full of naps and Jersey Shore episodes (a favorite guilty pleasure.)

Friday night was super relaxed, I cooked a yummy Chicken meal for friends and just hung out at home.  Saturday I made pancakes and watched The Rivalry (now I understand) with the Booo and spent most of they day being lazy. Saturday night was “party” night, headed out to South Tampa for some bar-crawling at Cheap and the Kennedy. I had a lot of fun dancing and spending time with awesome people.

I sort of gave up drinking… I still had 1 beer while out last night, but I am going to try a cleanse so to speak to see if nodrinky drinks allow me to see better results in my fitness goals

As for today… its a lazy Sunday… I slept in and may end up at the pool, I reeeeeeally need to clean the apartment and prepare for Dexter! I am so excited for Season 5 of my Dexter Morgan love affair.

XOXO Terribull

Happy Friday

Hi Meli Loves!

Happy Friday to all of you… the hair cut last night was a success (as it always is).  The fabulous Alisha gave me a cleaned up version of my ‘do.  I am very happy with the result, here is a shaky camera phone photo so you all may see…

Pretty “Stroup-erific” I think, I love it.

It’s a pretty quiet Friday so far. My shoes hurt my feet and its not even 8:30am and I am already thinking about sleeping in tomorrow…

I am excited for the weekend, maybe some board game family fun night time tonight with silly party time to be had Saturday night (censored pictures to follow of course!)

So Meli fans, what are your weekend plans?

xoxo, Terribull

Happy Hump-day Meli Fans!

While Meli is away, I will (hopefully) be able to fill her blogging shoes and entertain you all. My name is Terri and I am in the process of getting my own blog up and running, if you are interested check out Terribull.com.

Wednesday is Hump Day, so in keeping with the theme of hottness, let me shine a little spot light on the lovely Kevin McHale from Glee:

What’s not to love about Kevin?  A former member of the boy band NLT, McHale plays McKinley High’s Artie, the smooth singing handi-capable sweetheart on Glee (one of my favorite shows). While his character Artie is wheelchair bound, Kevin is actually a pretty fantastic dancer off the set, the episode “Dream On” shows off McHale’s skills in a dream sequence.

If you missed the premier of Glee last night, check out the full episodes here and fall in love!

Enjoy! xoxo

1. Fox Scarf

Finally you can wear an animal around your neck and not get any slack from PETA! This perfectly kitschy knit scarf by Donna Wilson is too cute for words! In fact, I think I would find it too cute to wear. I would probably sit it on my couch, pretend it was my pet, feed it imaginary cupcakes and reminisce about one of my favorite childhood cartoons, David the Gnome.

La Photo Cabine

I am absolutely in love with this adorable French site, La Photo Cabine. It’s a mock photobooth that you can use for free (!) as long as you have a webcam, which are usually already installed in most laptops these days. Once your 4 photos are snapped, they are easily downloadable to your computer or can even be shared on your Facebook. It’s a great little service that can be really fun while having friends over or if you are just having a particularly silly day. My only complaint is that the pictures are taken too quickly, so you oftentimes come out looking pretty ridiculous if not prepared, but that may add to the fun factor.

If you take some shots of your own, make sure to share them in the comments or on the Melificent Facebook page!
