·       Blockers - Release date: April 6th, 2018. 
This movie is a comedy about parents trying to stop their teenagers from having sex on prom night.
It stars Leslie Mann and John Cena - along with a really great rest of the cast. This is a movie that either you will love or you will hate - I am excited to find out which side I will be on. I love Leslie Mann and John Cena so I am excited to see how they are together in the movie.

A sheltered young guy (Nick Robinson) falls in love with a stripper (Rosario Dawson) and joins her AA group so that he can spend time near her. This movie is directed by William H Macy, I love him as an actor so hopefully I all love him as a director. Nick and Rosario are amazing actors and I am so excited to see them in this role together.

This movie is based on a true story about a young cowboy suffers a near fatal head injury goes in search of a new identity in the heartland of America. The 3 main characters all play a version of their real selves. I can't wait to see this movie.







May:

·       Overboard - Release date: May 4th, 2018 
This is a remake of the 1987 movie with the same name that starred Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell. This time it stars Ana Farris and Eva Longoria. The premise of the movie is about a spoiled, wealthy yacht owner is thrown overboard and becomes the target of revenge from his mistreated employee. I am a massive fan of Ana Farris so I can't wait to see how this one fairs next to its predecessor.

·       Life of the Party - Release date: May 11th, 2018 
Starring Gillian Jacobs and Melissa McCarthy (Can't miss a Melissa McCarthy movie!) - McCarthy gets a divorce and decides she needs to reset her life, so she heads off to college which turns out to be the same one her daughter is attending. Her daughter isn't happy about it, but it seems like it turns out to be the time of her life that her mom needed.

·       Book Club - Release date: May 18th, 2018 

Diane Keaton and Jane Fonda are two amazingly talented and brilliant women who along with a wonderful rest of the cast is going to give us a movie that will go down in history. They and their 2 best friends from way back read Fifty Shades of Grey in their monthly book club and it changes them forever it would seem.

Some of My Favorite Things

I am a pen to paper kind of gal. I love writing things down and I love drawing, painting, making my planner look pretty while still being useful, and also I like journaling, and scrapbooking. I love office supplies, to say the least. So, I wanted to share some of my favorite supplies with you.

I will do my best to link where I bought them, some I might not be able to so bear with me. Also, if you have any questions, please feel free to leave me a comment and I would be happy to share any information I have.

       1.     My favorite pen to write with is the Pentel Energel Needle Tip 0.7 or 0.5 in black. This is the main one I write with, especially in my planner. The ink is smooth and flows fairly well most of the time. Plus, of course, no bleeding in my planner or notebooks, which for me is really important.

       2.     The pens I like to draw with are the Staedtler Pigment Liners in 0.05 mm, 0.1 mm, 0.2 mm, 0.3 mm, 0.5 mm, and 0.8 mm all in black. I love these more than any others I have used which include the Faber Castell Pitt pens. I just feel like they give me cleaner lines and a smoother line too. I love them for small and large drawings alike.

      3.     Plum Paper Planners and Notebooks. I live by these, the paper is smooth and thick - there is barely any shadowing and I haven't had any pens bleed through it yet. They have so many options with their planners and notebooks. I like the grid paper style for my notebooks and the lined vertical option for my planner. I started out using one of their notebooks as a bullet journal for about a year and also separately a blog planner too. Then in July last year, I made the plunge and I am so glad I did - I love my regular planner so much. I still have a bullet journal in my Traveler's Notebook that I use as a wallet - I use a Leuchtturm 1917 (I love it too, I use it on the go to keep track of plans).

       4.     Highlighters: Zebra Mildliners. I love how pastel and beautiful the colors are, plus they don't bleed and I haven't had any run dry after a year of using them. They have a "bold" tip on one side that looks like any other highlighter. They also have a "fine" tip which looks closer to the tip of a fine time marker. I use them of course to highlight important things, the grey to give shadow to a drawing or words, and sometimes just to add a little bit of decorativeness to my bujo or sometimes I writing or drawing.

       5.     Post-it Notes are important to the game too. I use all different sizes and colors, but they are always plain - I'm not a fan of decorative ones for helping to keep me organized. I have small ones, page flag style, full sticky back ones, regular ones, blue, pink, yellow, neon colors, and so on. I use them to take small notes, to put on my second monitor to remember things, to mark an event that may or may not happen later on so that I don't have to make it permanent in my planner until I know for sure if I will be doing it. Post-it notes are                                                                        important to my planner game.
