Review of Disney's FROZEN

On Monday night we took a sleigh ride (car) to the moving picture show for the screening of Disney's FROZEN. It was awesome!!! The movie is in 3D with snowflakes and icicles landing in your lap- you might want to leave your coat on for the run time. The characters will however, warm your heart enough to melt those snowflakes and icicles. The animation is spectacular. The setting is a lovely mountain town called Arendelle, it's got that old world charm, until it freezes. Trailer - Frozen on Disney Video There is joy, sadness, and love-true love in FROZEN. The sisters Anna an Elsa spend their childhood together until Elsa can not control her emotions and nearly kills her sister Anna by mistake. There are Kings and Queens, Prince and Princess, Kristoff,  Sven, Olaf, and a marshmallow. The marshmallow is a frozen bad character who tries to keep them all away from Elsa.   Anna and Kristoff team up with a sleigh and a reindeer named Sven to find Elsa after she leaves the kingdom of

How Lancôme DreamTone is my pick for skin tone correction.

Do you want a skincare routine that evens out your skin tone?  I found Lancôme DreamTone  to do just that. DreamTone® evens out my skin, covers up dark spots, (do I have those yet?), color imperfections, like redness, and  blemish marks. It's "The Customized Skin Tone Correcting Serum". I used Lancôme DreamTone  in the fair skin tone. My mission was to use it for four weeks, once or twice a day.  I started the morning with DreamTone and in the evening under my night time moisturizer.  The serum has a really nice refreshing fragrance. The serum is light, smooth, and cool. It's easy to apply, and has good coverage for one pump of the bottle.   I have fair skin, lots of freckles, and need to even my skin tone out a bit. I took a handful of photos of myself, but it's still hard to see the difference on my skin, but up close in real life I can see the difference of the DreamTone  side and the side without DreamTone,     The bottle is pretty fancy, easy to use, and sto

FLASHDANCE, The Musical comes to Academy of Music this November

   

Disney's MALEFICENT trailer and images are out! See them here today.

"From Disney comes “Maleficent”—the untold story of Disney’s most iconicvillain from the 1959 classic “Sleeping Beauty.” A beautiful, pure-hearted young woman, Maleficent has an idyllic life growing up in a peaceable forest kingdom, until one day when an invading army threatens the harmony of the land. Maleficent rises to be the land’s fiercest protector, but she ultimately suffers a ruthless betrayal—an act that begins to turn her pure heart to stone. Bent on revenge, Maleficent faces an epic battle with the invading king’s successor and, as a result, places a curse upon his newborn infant Aurora. As the child grows, Maleficent realizes that Aurora holds the key to peace in the kingdom—and perhaps to Maleficent’s true happiness as well." Did you watch the trailer? I'm wondering is she good or bad? Mark your calendar for this Summer's film adventure.   Maleficent comes to a theater near you on May 30, 2014 Cast: Angelina Jolie, Sharlto Copley, Elle Fanning,
