The Modern Vintage Way

Hi Everyone

You all know I have been a fan and follower of Bethany Joy Lenz for years now. I love her on TV and her music. Mostly I love how she expresses herself and shares her life with you. When I met her we talked about her blog and how that was something I was into. At the time I was too scared to really start writing my own.

Having people you don't know read your thoughts is a scary thing. I love how she still write and shares her life with us anyways.

She first start out writing a blog called Wish You Were Here and every week I loved that she shared a wardrobe Wednesday with us (please bring it back). As her fashion is always something that I admired about her, how she makes the simple outfits look amazing. In her other entries she had a way of writing and getting her thoughts across and really make you think.

That blog doesn't seem to be around anymore.

Don't worry if you haven't read any of her stuff before. Want to understand more of what i'm talking about. Please take 10minutes out of your day and visit her new website. Where she has teamed up with a few other fun ladies to share with us the fun but yet most important things in life. In a beautiful relaxed Modern Vintage way.

Trust me it has a way of relaxing you and making you feel you are living, chatting and sharing with them.

Film Friday

Hi Everyone

Happy New Year! I hope you all had a great time over Christmas and New Years. I had a lovely time being back home at my parents house and spending time with the family.

1. The Intern - I really enjoyed watching this film and would definitely sit down and watch it again. It a funny light hearted comedy/romance.

 

2. Joy - Honestly I was so excited about seeing this film and I watched about the first 40mins and didn't really like it at all. I'm thinking I might have to give it another go see I can really see whats going on with it.
 
 
Happy Watching

20 Questions with Bethany Joy Lenz


Hi Everyone
You may know her as Michelle from the Guiding Light. Others may know her better as the girl next door turned, mother, teacher and singer Haley James Scott from the popular CW teen show One Tree Hill. Do you really know the real person behind these characters? Let’s find out a little more about the inspiring and multi-talented Bethany Joy Lenz.

1.       What’s your idea of a perfect Sunday? Coffee & Sunday Paper, Farmer’s Market, nap, neighborhood walk to a local restaurant for dinner, evening movie at home by a fire.

2.       What’s your favourite thing to do with Maria? Too many to name :)

3.       What’s your must have items of clothes in your wardrobe? Super-soft white button up shirts, denim cutoffs

4.       What’s the best advice a person has ever given to you? Trust yourself

5.       What’s the best advice you could give a person about believing in themselves? Look at yourself in the mirror every days and tell yourself what you want to hear other people say about you.

6.       Any hidden talents? I’ve got a MacGuyver streak in me.  I can solve many physical puzzles using bizarre, unexpected objects, and do so quite frequently.

7.       If you could live anywhere else in the world, where would it be? England

8.       Cocktails. Wine or Beer? Wine or Dirty Martini

9.       Eat in or Dine out? Both depending on the week

10.   Beach holiday or City break? Beach

11.   Do you like your own name?  I’m not crazy about Bethany.  I kind of sound like I live in a country club, don’t you think?

12.   What affect do you hope your music has on your fans? peace, inspiration

13.   What’s one thing you’re dying to do but haven’t yet? Raced through a field on horseback while wearing a big giant skirt.

14.   With whom is your dream duet? Billy Joel

15.   What’s your go to karaoke song? Crazy, Patsy Cline

16.   What’s your guilty pleasure snack? Frozen chocolate covered banana slices from Trader Joes

17.   If your house was burning down, other than your loved ones, what would be the next thing you would save? My computer and antique books

18.   If you could live a day in the life of someone else past or present who would it be and why? Nelson Mandela.  I think it would significantly change my life for the better to have that experience.  Or Stallone while he was shooting Rocky.  I think living inside that kind of drive and being able to let it out as a man does would feel really incredible.

19.   If you could star in one Broadway musical, which would you choose and why? I still have a hard time hearing the soundtrack to Beauty & the Beast knowing I turned down Belle on bway when it was offered to me.  One of my only regrets in life is that decision.  Other than that I think I’d sink my teeth into South Pacific.

20.   What’s your proudest accomplishment?  Raising my daughter as a single mom and failing every day and winning every day.  It’s a roller coaster but I’ve never been so proud of anything.  She’s an amazing kid.

I hope you all enjoyed getting to find out a little more about Bethany Joy Lenz. Thanks Joy for taking the time to sit down and answer these questions for us. Also thanks to those friends who helped me come up with these great questions.

Music Monday

Hi Everyone

At first I was really not worried about seeing Pitch Perfect. As I thought it was going to very like glee, which is what I found when I did finally sit down and start watching it.  So I turned it off half way through nor really interested in it.

A few months later I was talk with a friend who really likes it and she convinced me to give it another go. So I sat down and watched it, the whole this time. I actually have to say my friend was right and the film was great and I loved all the music in it.

So this week my music Monday is Pitch Perfect themed, I hope you all enjoy the song. Also hope you all are looking forward to Pitch Perfect 2, I know I am.

Wheelchair Wednesday

Hi Everyone

So I'm back with another wheelchair Wednesday. I'm not sure if many of my readers are in wheelchairs or not. I thought I would share this with you all in case you know of someone who is in a wheelchair.

Over the years the products for wheelchairs have been improving every year. Recently I have been interested in a drinks holder. There is always that day when you want a carry out coffee. Being in a wheelchair its very hard to hold your coffee and push at the same time. So why not do yourself a favour and go buy a cup holder for your chair.

I have spent the morning online looking for the perfect cup holder that I like. There is a big variety of all different sorts to fit all different types of chairs. If you feel its something you feel would make your life easier, I suggest you buy one.

If you cant find one online always contact your local wheelchair company and see what they have on offer or can advise you on.
