6 favorite movies based on books

Let's be honest. When a movie is made based on a book, the book is usually better. The only books that I didn't like as much as the movie was The Lord of the Rings series. I tried reading the first one, and I thought it was so boring. Sorry fans. I did love the movies though! Anyway, as y'all know I love to read and watch movies, so when I read a book and find out that it's being made into a movie, I giggle like a little school girl. Also when I find out that a movie is being made based on a book, I try to get my hands on the book and read it first. Some people say it's best to watch the movie first so that you like both the book and the movie, but I'm a firm believer in reading the book first. If the movie doesn't...

my first cara box!

So this month, I did my first Cara Box, and it really was the most amazing blog experience I've had yet. I got to connect with two awesome bloggers, and then send off a kick-butt box (if I do say so myself) to one and receive a super awesome box from another. I don't think my pairs could have been any more spot on. The blogger I sent my box to is Rachel from Sunshine and Sinatra. I can't explain how much I love this girl. We've bonded amazingly, and I couldn't have asked for a better match. To see the Cara Box I sent her, go check out her post. The blogger who sent me a Cara Box is Elyssa from Snatching Sequins. She's a fashion blogger, and she's absolutely fabulous. We have a ton of stuff in common, including our...

tips for newbie bloggers from a newbie blogger.

Okay, so I'm a newbie blogger with barely 100 followers and less than 70 blog posts, but I've learned a lot in the few short months that I've been blogging. So if there are any other newbie bloggers out there currently reading this post, here are the steps you need to take to get your blog up and running. {from a newbie blogger} Stop being a no-reply blogger I know you've probably seen this everywhere, but it really is a big problem. I've had people leave lovely comments on my posts, and when I try to reply back to them, I get the dreaded: [noreply-comment@blogger.com] Frustration all around. This usually comes with connecting your blog with Google+. I definitely don't recommend that. I made that...

d'Asti at Tiffany's.

Hello lovelies! I hope you all had amazing weekends. As you can see, I gave my little page a make-over of sorts. I have a new name "d'Asti at Tiffany's" and I've updated my header and my sidebar to reflect my new name. So why d'Asti? Moscato d'Asti is my favorite type of wine. I pretty much only drink moscato as far as wine goes. I'm still trying to find other ones that I like, but moscato is just better than all the others. It's actually a dessert wine, so it's really sweet and tasty. Yum. Moscato d'Asti is a sparkling white wine, thus it combines two of my favorite things 1) moscato and 2) sparkly things. Why at Tiffany's? Well yea, I'm Tiffany, and I love Breakfast at Tiffany's (and breakfast in general)....

i don't hate taylor swift.

To start with something completely irrelevant to this post, I'm freaking obsessed with this song. I had never heard of her before Wednesday, but now I can't stop listening to this song. Plus, we share the same name, so I think I was destined to love this song. It's so cute! Okay now... I used to be obsessed with Taylor Swift. When "Fearless" came out, I downloaded it as soon as I woke up and was late to class because I wanted to listen to the whole album ahead of time. When "Speak Now" came out, I put the album on my iPod and listened to it to and from class. I am a fan of "Red," but I didn't fall in love with the album like I did with her ones. {source} There are a lot of T. Swift haters out there and I just...

jobs i could be good at.

I don't have many talents. I'm not really good at anything, but I'm kind of good at some things. I'm a fast learner, but then I get bored. I like to dip my feet into as much as I can. I love my new job, and I know that will lead to a lot of awesome things in the future, but if I didn't have my job, here are a few back-up plans: Making jingles I'm constantly singing. Just ask my office mate or my sister or my friends or Jon! I sing when...there's a song stuck in my head, if someone asks me to do something (I'll just sing the task), if I'm excited, if I'm nervous. There's always an occasion for singing. I like to make up my own mini songs. It's gotten to the point where I just do it randomly. Life is a song; I'm...

the city that never sleeps.

As you've read before, I worked at camp last summer. I told you all about my trip to Philly, but I haven't told you about my much more exciting trip to NYC! And you've already heard about my first trip to New York, but this time was a little different. I went with a few of my camp friends, one of which was from the city. It was a two-hour commute, but it was so worth it.  We parked in a parking garage in Hoboken so we could avoid traffic. I took my first ride on a train. Not gonna lie, I was very confused, but I had seven people there to help me.  Our first stop was Times Square to eat an overpriced lunch at TGI Friday's. I would've rather had a street hotdog, but it was fun. I loved the energy...

i went camping (kinda).

It's been three weeks since I last saw Jon, so I was so so so so excited to be able to go spend a whole weekend with him. Friday I drove to see him after work, so I didn't get there until about 6. We watched a few episodes of Dollhouse (thanks, Netflix) and ate hotdogs. Simple, yet delicious. We passed out pretty early. Saturday He made me breakfast in bed.(Cue: Awww) Then we both got ready and went thrift shopping. I love thrifting. I can't even explain. There's an amazing place called Rolling Hills in Ruston, and it's so much more amazing than Goodwill (which is all we have in Bosser. Boo). They had a lot of good brands this time - NY & Co. and Banana Republic. Too bad none of them fit me. I ended buying...
