Hi, I'm Bella and I'm Addicted to Netflix

Let's just start off with saying it's been a while since either Alyssa or I have posted. And I know so many of you are reading this right now and are just dying to hear my opinions on something else. Being the extremely generous person I am, I am about to share a whole lot of my personal views. Lucky you guys:) It's exactly what my millions of readers have been nagging me about for the last couple of days so I finally got around to posting.

Last week was movie week. In short I watched a movie and/or TV series evvvvvvveeeerrrryyy siiiinnngggllleee niiiiggghhhhtt. So do you know who went to bed at 2 AM every night last week? This kid. And do you know who happened to fall asleep in most (if not all) of her classes last week? That right, this kid - but not to worry, I am usually falling asleep in most of my classes. 
My journey begins with...

A Good Year


I'm not going to explain to you children the plot of these movies, but all you really need to know about this one is Russel Crow plays a delicious British man and he falls love with a gorgeous French girl ( Fanny Chenal- who is gorgeous. jusssayin'. Shes also in Inception!). I wasn't particularly impressed with this movie. It had a really slow beginning and quite honestly I don't know how the title had anything pertaining to the story. Would I recommend you to go and see it? Well... maybe if it was on Netflix and you were bored one weekend.

On to day TWO.

Australia

All you really need to know about this movie is:
Hugh Jackman = SEX
For those of you who don't understand let me elaborate with some photos. If you are faint of heart or pregnant, viewers discretion is advised.



mmmm...


ya you wear that tight shirt. you wear it good.

There a problem, Hugh? I don't think so.

Whew. That was nice. So if that wasn't enough for you sprint to the nearest Redbox and rent Australia then you should also know it really is a great movie. The plot has so many twists and turns you don't know where it's taking you! Nicole Kidman is also in it, and she is completely boss. (ha! play on words. go see the movie so you can be in on my great puns.)
Number THREE.

She's the Man

If you haven't already seen this film you are one of three things:
  1. you have been living under a rock for the past 6 years
  2. your stupid
  3. your blind
This movie.... it has changed my life. I quote it EVERY DAY. For those of you smart, beautiful, skinny, kind and magnificent people who have seen it; here are some of my favorite moments:


shes the man. you are reading this in her voice.
I'm gonna be the best lab partner you ever had.

love this movie :)


Funny every time. On a side note, I actually got to use the "Do you like... cheese?" line in real life the other day!! oh man, what a special moment for me.
In short, GO SEE THIS MOVIE if you haven't. If you have, GO WATCH IT AGAIN. You haven't watched it enough until you know all of the songs in every scene and what previews come before the movie.
* Also this movie's commentary is hilarious!! Watch it in your spare time! You will feel like you are hanging out with Amanda and Channing. They are just so darn funny...

Its time for this post to come to an end. Yes there are 7 days in a week and I have only talked about 3 movies but this post is getting ridiculously long and believe it or not, not all of you have time to listen to my senseless ranting. I know, it's crazy. This post is "to be continued..."

Courageous Curiosity

Once upon a time there was a little girl named Bella. It was her birthday. She was becoming a women. In celebration Bella and her faithful friend Alyssa, went to the most majestic museum in town. The Leonardo. They
explored new places and experienced new things never experienced before (well at least not by them...)

So here the adventure begins
  
They made things... 

They appreciated Cell Structure
  
they danced like skeletons

Learned about Civil Rights

Made digital creations


Lastly, they ate eel and baby fishies.... :(

And so their adventure ended. A beautiful day it was. They rode off into sunset... And almost died. {that's another story}

 The End. 

A Spot of Sunshine

Hey guys! So today Alyssa and I are heading off the the new museum in Utah, The Leonardo. But first I thought I would post the outfit I am wearing.


Naturally its snowing.... so I thought I would bring out my new trench coat!
 Its a tad bright.... what do you think??



Shirt and trench coat are from the Gap, Levi's, Seychelles boots, and vintage necklace.




 I trudged into my backyard and decided to get a good picture. Even if it meant being pelted with snow :) Consider you kids lucky, I am impartial to the wet and cold. 

Stay tuned for our adventure to The Leonardo:)


Hope its warmer where you are!

Ginger Attack

Well, since it has been almost 2 weeks since Bella and I have created this blog, and we still haven't posted anything, I thought I would give it a go.

Yesterday when I was at work...

Actually before I even go there I probably should explain something first. Bella and I occasionally poke fun at red heads. I don't know if it is their firecracker hair, speckled skin, or ghostly paleness that makes them so darn right amusing to make fun of. It may even be the fact that they could possibly have a fire crotch. Just saying.

Back to the story of work. I was doing my regular ginger jeering when, a little louder than necessary, I said "Who would want to be a ginger." Of course my fellow coworker pointed out to me something that I had forgotten. That yes my boss does in fact have red hair, and yes she was sitting on the other side of our lovely cubicle wall. Awesome. 

Because of this situation I thought it would be best if I cleared up a little something. I don't actually dislike gingers. My niece that I absolutely adore could turn out to be one one day. (the hair has yet to fully decide if it wants to grow in at all, let alone choose what color it will be)

So in honor of those fair skinned beauties here are a few pictures of some popular ladies who rock the locks. 


Our lives wouldn't be then same if she didn't leap into our hearts with her impeccable vocabulary and grammar as Olive Penderghast.


The ultimate proof that I am not a ginger hater. I LOVE Harry Potter.


Because she is just the sweetest thing anyone has ever laid eyes on.


It felt appropriate to put her in after Amy Adams.


Mad Men bombshell Christina Hendricks.
She makes us feel good about not being a size 2.


I do realize that he isn't a lady, but look at him, just look. 
Eddie Redmayne is my current celeb crush. 


I can't believe I almost forgot her. Legend.

And that concludes this dedicated post to all you redheads our there. And may that be a lesson to me too watch my tongue.

Or as Bella says, "Don't. Life is more colorful that way."
