My Coconut Journey

I’ve been reading up on the hype of coconut oil and coconut water and I must say it has me a little curious. There is so much information and testimony out there about the many benefits of coconuts. It’s apparently a very good source of moisture for your hair, skin and overall hydration. However, as you can’t believe everything you read, I decided to test it out for myself. I bought a jar of virgin, cold pressed coconut oil for the purpose of my experiment and tried a couple of different coconut water drinks. Here’s what I have discovered so far: Continue reading “My Coconut Journey”

I love Phoebe as a character because she’s sassy, childlike and tough and just when you think you’ve got her all figured out she throws out a one-liner that will either make you laugh or leave you with a mountain of questions. Here are my favourite Phoebe quotes:

5) “A promise between friends means never having to give a reason.” (Phoebe can be rather profound when she wants to be and quite the manipulator – poor Joey!)

Their chemistry was natural and the storylines well fleshed out and balanced with well-timed comedy.

Binge Watching Favourites: Cover Affairs S1 Ep1 – Pilot (extended version)

Covert Affairs is a sassy, well developed, action-packed spy drama. It has the intrigue and intensity of Alias and the quick wit and friendly banter of Bones (with sarcasm thrown into the mix too). Add to that characters that draw you in and I’m hooked!

Here’s my run down of the pilot episode: Continue reading “Binge Watching Favourites: Cover Affairs S1 Ep1 – Pilot (extended version)”

I’ve Been Watching Too Many Movies And Now My Brain Hurts

If my life was a movie the plot would not make a whole lot of sense. The scene changes would be epic and the settings a weird mix of eras and props. As the lead I would be a bundle of characters, the personality traits mashed together like an emotional patchwork mess. Continue reading “I’ve Been Watching Too Many Movies And Now My Brain Hurts”

My Favourite Five: Johnny Depp Character Transformations

There are those actors who give the same style performance playing pretty much the same character each time (with a change of accent or costume) and then there are those who really transform for a role and give it everything. Here are five times Johnny Depp has proven he can adapt and deliver the goods with appearance, body language and voice.

5.) SWEENEY TODD
