Fall Fashionista is back and will run from Oct 2-9th! This year, we've done something a little different, well, mostly because life has been hectic and I'm constantly working.

Remember the Nature's Sleep Vitex Memory Contour Pillow I reviewed several months back? Well, lately I've been coming home from work and finding the hubby sleeping on it. Ha! In attempts to get it back, I've promised to get the hubby his very own memory foam pillow from Nature's Sleep.

After since I've arrived in Minnesota, I've heard the Minnesota State Fair was a must see. My friends all went and gushed over Martha's sweet cookies and fried candy bars, amongst others. Ya, "Fried" candy bars.

Just so you know, Director Ken Scott had thought Vince Vaughn was perfect for that character. For you Vince Vaughn fans, you’ll be happy to know that he’s in every scene. Some of you had asked me if he was as funny in real life as he was on the movies. What do you think?

Hanging with police officer Cobie Smulders on DreamWorks' #DeliveryManMovie Set #movies

I’ll admit, it was pretty cool to interview Cobie Smulders, a fellow Canadian, during DreamWorks’ #DeliveryManMovie set visit. I had always enjoyed her humor and we’ve always watched How I Met Your Mother. This woman has a sense of humor. If even she says, “It’s a funny movie.”, you can bet it’s going to be a great comedy!

Chatting with #DreamWorks' #DeliveryManMovie's Director Ken Scott on the #movie set

Dreamworks Delivery Man Movie Set Visit, Interview with Director Ken Scott

Did you know that the #DeliveryManMovie is actually a remake. Starbuck is the French Canadian version of the film that was released in 2011. Interestingly, the director then was also Ken Scott. So when Ken Scott came to meet us, I had a burning question in my mind.

#Pups with #superpowers appear in #Disney's #SuperBuddies! #cute #Movies, #dogtraining included!

How I wish to find a magical ring to grant me an unique super power just like my favorite little buddies. Ha, but since I haven't found one yet, the pups and I will just have to settle back and watch the Super Buddies assemble their new powers and protect the planet from a shape-shifting bully from outer space.

Personalized Labelling made easy with @Epson_Store's #LabelWorks Kit! #tech #craft

My husband would be the first to admit that I'm a complete mess most of the time. My things are everywhere, but so are his. Technically though, he's worse off than me. He'll leave things behind and forget about them. Lose things, then spend hours looking for them when he's out.

Staying balanced mentally and physically with @sainthoodherbs #health #fitness

Ah, when I'm working close to 80 hour work weeks, life is hard and decisions need to be made. As we all know, the less sleep we get, the less our brain functions. Ha, sucks but the truth hurts. That's when I went on the search for something that could help my brain power. I ran into Sainthood Herbs, that offered natural supplements to enhance Mental Agility.

#WednesdayWardrobe -A stroll in the #park with #BabyPom #fashion #style with @eShakti

I'm pretty sure you've noticed my obsession with dress by now. Funny thing is, a couple years back, I'd wear dresses but they definitely weren't my go to fashion item. Well, a lot has changed and now I love them.

Most people don't know how much I love adventure and fun. That brings me to my main topic...I've seen Bear Grylls' shows and I love them. It's so awesome. I've always wanted to be a part of those shoes, the competition, the adrenaline, the challenge. Bring it on!

#LaborDay #Weekend #Activities #DisneyFrozen, #SavingMrBanks, #CaptainAmerica, #MonstersU, #DisneyPlanes, #ThorDarkWorld

Hello, my friends! Happy Labor Day long weekend. Hope you're enjoying some sunshine with your family. It's been a little long since I've got to gush and ooh over the lastest and upcoming movies so here comes another fun movie post. One of them is one I've been holding back on since last year when I visited Walt Disney Animation Studios. I had gotten an earful of the newest animation venture then and now it's details are slowly coming out. Any ideas as to what I'm talking about?
