the singer-songwriter thing is just irresistible. we can’t help having a thing for guys who have a way with lyrics, and a passion for music. the song that really has us hooked… ‘So Alive’. we’re guessing it’s one of the reasons alot of other girls are probably crushing on Tristan too . we also love when a boy is fully committed to his dreams, and Tristan is totally dedicated to his craft.

Prefontaine »

who are the stars?

Jared Leto, R. Lee Ermey, Ed O’Neill, Breckin Meyer

who are the the starlets?

Amy Locane, Laurel Holloman

what’s the review?

totally underrated. this is such an awesome “spirit of the athlete movie” and Pre is one of the greatest American athletes for sure. Jared Leto pulls this off amazingly, so even if it wasn’t a major blockbuster, we’re still watching it over and over.

the story…

the movie is based on the life of Steve Prefontaine, who was an was an American middle distance and long-distance runner, who set the running world on fire, but then died young in a car accident. he was a small kid from Oregon who wanted to play sports, but couldn’t hang with the big boys, until he discovered running. once he found running, he didn’t stop. he went on to hold the American records in the seven distance track events from the 2000 meters to the 10,000 meters all at one time. he made it to the Olympics, but a terrorist disaster strikes the games and his race mentality falls apart. because Pre’s life is cut short, he never fulfills his Olympic Dream, but he still has left a legacy behind that no one in Track and Field distance running has come close to matching.

being huge track fans our whole lives, and having grown up around the sport, we have heard about Prefontaine for as long as we can remember. but, he died before we were even born, so we weren’t around to actually experience it, so this movie is awesome for us because we get to hear the full story.

since we are such massive fans of the sport, we love this movie just because it’s a track and field movie, but even if you are not that into the sport, it’s a one of those great “hero” movies, and Jared Leto is kinda irresistible .

Hood To Coast »

what it is…

it’s a 197 mile relay that starts on Mt. Hood, Oregon and ends at the coast in Seaside, Oregon. it takes place every year in August, it has been around for 29 years, and it’s the largest relay in the world. over 12,000 people compete in the relay – it’s so huge that people have to start in 15 min. timed intervals over a period of 12 hours. each team has 12 people and the 197 miles is divided up into 3 “legs” per runner. it’s crazy and hard, but an insane amount of fun.

have we done it?

krissie and jenna have and we’d all love to put together a team and do it again someday.

The Hood To Coast Relay Experience

why the heck would anyone ever want to do this relay and run that freakin’ much and go through all that pain?! we can’t lie… it is painful, and you sleep crammed in a moving van, and you are stinky and dirty for 24 hours straight, and you’re exhausted and hungry and you have to use port-o-potties… but it’s also an incredible amount of fun!

the Hood To Coast community is a group of nutcases – in an awesome way. you see, people don’t just put on some shorty shorts and run like crazy. Hood To Coast is notorious for the fun factor. people put together teams with runners of all levels, and they choose funny names, dress in stupid costumes, dance on the side of the road, sing lame songs, and act a fool pretty much the whole race. it’s kind of like a bunch of summer camp kids gone mad, and it’s for sure an unforgettable experience.

The Hood To Coast Course

the race starts literally on Mt. Hood – at 6,000 ft. – at the Timberline Lodge. so, the first leg alone is like a 2,000 ft. descent in a little over 5 miles. then, the course continues through forests, on highways, over bridges, through downtown Portland, up hills, in the morning, the noon, and through the night for an average of a 24 hour period. it eventually finishes in the coastal town of Seaside, Oregon – on the beach.

even though you are tired and stinky and running too much… you are surrounded by this incredible scenery and terrain at all times. it’s amazing and beautiful, and the kind of thing everyone should try atleast once in their life .

Funny Team Names

again, the people that enter this race are in general, hilarious and silly and out to have a really fun time, so people choose some pretty funny team names. here are some of the names that make us laugh…

• Hoody And The Go Fish
• Crouching Runner Hidden Van
• Dude Where’s My Van?
• I B Pro Fun
• Spongebob Slowpants

The Hood To Coast Vibe

there are quite a few funny videos on YouTube of teams having a blast at the race, but this team kinda reminded us of ourselves haha…

what’s the review?

worth watching just for the drunk bar scene alone haha. our favorite Katherine Heigl movie for sure. it’s cute, hilarious, and one of those happy ending movies you don’t think is cheesy, in fact you wouldn’t want it to end any other way.

the story…

always a bridesmaid… Jane(Katherine Heigl) is a girl who has been a bridesmaid 27 times. the movie is about how Jane is always doing everything for others and is never really living for herself. you see her come to a crossroads in her life when her spoiled sister gets engaged, and she finally reaches a breaking point with being a doormat for people. with a little help from an unlikely support system named Keven(James Marsden), she gets the courage to stand up for herself once and for all. there isn’t a deep or profound message, and it wont likely change your life. it’s just a great “funny feel-good movie”. it’s perfect for lazy Sundays when you don’t want to have to over-think, and you just want to relax, laugh, and feel happy.

Katherine Heigl

she’s completely likeable, and believable in this, and she plays the character without going over the top. even though she seriously needs to get some assertive energy together, you can see that her character just has a good heart and wants to help make people happy. but… it’s also pretty funny when she finally lets loose…again, the drunk scene is awesome.

James Marsden

totally charming and handsome, and just the right person to come into Jane’s life .

Judy Greer

she’s one of the best romantic comedy sidekick best friends ever. she’s funny, sassy, and we love her.

Malin Akerman

we know we are supposed to hate her character in this, but we actually love Malin. she’s gorgeous, and despite her character in this movie, in real life she seems super sweet. we also think she totally looks amazing in the wedding dress she tries on that makes Katherine’s character go over the edge haha.

what’s the destination?

Vancouver, BC Canada

what Vancouver is famous for…

amazing views of mountains and water, great seafood, exciting nightlife, beautiful architecture, The Vancouver Canucks hockey team, and an ethnically diverse population.

famous people from Vancouver…

Jensen Ackles, Bryan Adams, Seth Rogen, Michael Bublé, Eckhart Tolle, Joshua Jackson, Lights, Michael J. Fox, Sarah McLachlan, Ryan Reynolds, Pamela Anderson, and Jason Priestley.

have we been there?

Ashlee has been there, and the rest of us just wish we could go .

Vancouver, BC Canada

why we wanna go there…

in general, we are complete suckers for anywhere with super big mountains and grande landscapes. Ashlee has been to Vancouver, and she said it was breathtaking, and lively, and really exciting.

we hear it has amazing nightlife. there are concert venues, casinos, dance clubs, and live theatre. we tend to just be drawn to a vibe, and the energy in Vancouver just seems really upbeat and active.

it’s also a big film production city, so there is always a movie or tv show being taped there. that brings a ton of celebrities, and visitors, and activity in general that just makes the city seem really kinetic.

what we wanna do in Vancouver, BC Canada…

2010 Winter Olympics

if we had our wish, we’d be going next month because the 2010 Winter Olympic Games are there! alpine skiing, snowboarding, ski jumping, figure skating, luge, ice hockey… it’s going to be amazzzzing!!! and being in such a fun city, the celebration parties are going to be insane!

2010 winter olympics »

Granville Island

an entire island of shopping and fun? what could be better than that?! there are restaurants, stores, places to see performers, and there is even a huge indoor playground for kids.

granville island »

Vancouver Snowboarding

we would for sure take a couple of days to venture outside the city and go play in the amazing mountains. there are 3 resorts (Cypress, Seymour, and Grouse) that are only about a half-hour from downtown Vancouver.

vancouver snowboarding »

Clubbing

we love dancing. going dancing in a high energy city, with lights and music and people everywhere, basically sounds pretty awesome.

vancouver clubbing »

Professional Hockey Game

we would have to see the Vancouver Canucks play. Ashlee did this when she was there and she said it was really rowdy and fun haha.

vancouver canucks »

Stanley Park

it’s over 1,000 acres of trees, wildlife, lagoons, beaches, and rose gardens, mixed in with gift shops, places to eat, a water park, and tons of other fun stuff.

stanley park »

Live Concert

it would be fun to go to a huge arena show at ‘General Motors Place’. it just seems like the kind of city you’d want to celebrate with thousands of other people in. but we also think it would be awesome to check out a real rock lounge like ‘The Morrissey’.

vancouver concerts »

Hiking

we love hiking, and we’ll go hiking anywhere that there is a place to do it! the Vancouver area has a ton of forests, trails and parks where you can wander around.

what’s the buzz?

massage

why we’re buzzing…

we’re big on the idea that being healthy is fun rather than being a struggle. almost everyone loves getting massages, and it really is good for you!

why we love it…

we love that getting a massage has this physical and emotional connection. to get a massage, you have to let yourself be pampered and spoiled in a way. you have to feel worthy of someone giving you the gift of healing while you just do nothing but relax and feel like a princess!

who’s the crush?

Marco Andretti

the boy…

Indy Car Racer and the grandson of racing legend Mario Andretti.

why we’re crushing…

we may be motivated to watch car racing for this boy. Marco Andretti is kind of the young rockstar version of an auto racing guy. he’s definitely not an old redneck with a big mustache. he’s more kind of hot in that way Tom Cruise was hot to our moms in the 80′s.

what’s the cinéma?

Bedtime Stories »

who are the stars?

Adam Sandler, Jonathan Morgan Heit, Russell Brand

who are the the starlets?

Keri Russell, Laura Ann Kesling, Courteney Cox

what’s the review?

we love kids movies, cartoons, and fiction, so we’re pretty biased… we love this type of movie haha. but it’s ADAM SANDLER! you have to love it whether you’re 8 or 18 or 80 . it’s so cute and imaginative, but it’s still completely entertaining for big kids too.

the story…

Skeeter Bronson (Adam Sandler) grows up in a family hotel, that as a kid, is a magical place for him. he makes up stories and pretends he is having different adventures. when he gets older, the family has lost the hotel to a rich tycoon, and Skeeter ends up working there as a handyman. the hotel is no longer a magical place. however, the story takes on new adventures when Skeeter ends up babysitting his niece and nephew and telling them bedtime stories. the movie is unique, and funny, and perfect for kids of any age.

Adam Sandler

we all know Adam Sandler can be as overboard as a comedian can get, and he wouldn’t be the first person you would peg to make a children’s movie. he’s completely surprising in this as he is totally endearing and sweet – but don’t worry, he doesn’t abandon the outrageous personality we all know and love.

Russel Brand

again, the last person you would think would make a kids movie, but he’s the perfect sidekick in this. his interaction with the goofy-eyed guinea pig is hi-larious.

the kids

the two little kids in this, Jonathan Morgan Heit and Laura Ann Kesling are so adorable, and they hold their own with Adam Sandler just fine.

what’s the buzz?

David Goldman

who is he?

a father who fought for over 5 years to bring his son home from Brazil, after his then wife abducted the child.

why we’re inspired…

we don’t pretend to be taking any sort of stance on international law or politics, but, we are incredibly inspired by Mr. Goldman’s passionate determination, and undying love for his son.

what’s the mix?

“Left Coast Envy”

what’s the theme?

a few of us live in Tennessee and a few live in California, so we’re far far away from each other . we miss each other, so we make mix tapes to feel like we’re all together.

get your mix started…

we picked out some of our favorite songs about Cali, heading to the west coast, missing someone on the west coast… basically this is a mix tape from the girls in Nashville saying we miss you to the girls on the left coast <3.

the princess…

Katie Piper

the girl…

a beautiful young british model with dreams of being a star someday

why she’s a princess…

when we first saw Katie’s story, we immediately wanted to do a story on her for our ‘Inspiration Buzz’ section. but as we watched her whole story unfold, we started to think she was much better suited to be a ‘Pretty Princess’. after all, she possesses the things that make a girl a princess. she is beautiful, funny, sweet, charming, strong, determined, caring, genuine, and yes, inspiring. she has an amazing spirit, and we realized she is the very definition of a ‘Pretty Princess’.

what’s the buzz?

Bungee Jumping

why it’s so awesome…

well, there are different types. the obvious reason that you try the classic bungee jumping is the same reason you try any crazy thing or extreme sport… adrenaline! it’s not for everybody, but if you have an adventurous streak, it really is amazing. we’re not gonna lie, it’s super dangerous. even if you do it with a legit company, and with totally safe equipment, you’re still jumping off of a really high object and falling to the earth . so only do it if you understand – it’s totally and completely crazy. but, there are other types, some that are even safe for little kids. yes, really .

have we done it?

jenna, ashlee, and krissie have all done the crazy “off the bridge and tower” kind. jenna and krissie have twice. would we do it again? totally. our chiropractors would be seriously mad, but we just wouldn’t tell ‘em . but we’ve all done trampoline bungee jumping which is almost as fun, and is totally safe for a kids b-day party haha.

the history of bungee jumping…

it’s actually been around since some crazy island dudes on the Pentecost Island in the Pacific Ocean used build 80 ft. towers and jump off them tied to vines. yup. now that is crazy. then, in the 70′s, it was modernized when a 4 man team from the ‘Oxford University Dangerous Sports Club’ started jumping off the Clifton Suspension Bridge in Bristol, England. so thankfully, it’s evolved since then.

different kinds of bungee jumping…

• Bungee Jump – the classic type of jump. off of a bridge, a crane, out of a tram, hot air balloon, or off of a tower of some sort, with one harness either attached to the body or feet.
• Catapult - you start on the ground, your cord is stretched, and you are catapulted up.
• Twin Tower – you are again catapulted off from the ground, but between two towers instead of one.
• Bungee Run – you are in a soft environment and you run away from your cord and are pulled back.
• Trampoline Bungee – specially designed bungee cords work with the trampoline structure to increase power and jumping ability, and stabilize you safely back on the trampoline when you jump up and down. a lot of times, these are used in training for gymnasts and tumbling training. this is the kind for little kiddies and people who don’t wanna maybe die . we can only in good conscious influence you to try this kind.

famous crazy bungee jumping locations…

there are some super famous bungee jump locations. they are all super high and in incredibly beautiful places. our dream spot is for sure off of the Victoria Falls Bridge.

• Bhote Koshi River, Nepal – a suspension bridge 525 ft. above the Bhote Koshi River.
• Verzasca Dam, Switzerland – a dam 722 ft. above the Verzasca River.
• Royal Gorge Bridge, Colorado – a bridge 1,053 ft. above the Arkansas River.
• Nevis Highwire Bungy, New Zealand – 440 ft. high bungee platform.
• Victoria Falls Bridge, between Zimbabwe and Zambia – a bridge 420 ft. above the Zambezi River.
• Bloukrans Bridge, South Africa – a bridge 709 ft. above the Bloukrans River.

famous people are insane too…

hahaha – Zac Efron bungee jumping in Vancouver.

what’s the buzz?

taking a walk

why we’re buzzing…

we feel like so many people feel too busy to work some kind of exercise into their life. sometimes if someone mentions a baby step they could try, that’s the little thing they need to get motivated.

why we love it…

even though we’re all really active with dance, sports, and life… we’ve never been big fans of gyms and “working out”. in general, we’re not big fans of doing things you don’t enjoy. that’s why we love walking. it takes such a small effort to incorporate walking into your life, but the benefits of doing so are huge.

Trent Ford

the boy…

actor, model, one of the cutest boys alive.

where you know him from…

“How To Deal”, “The West Wing”, “Smallville”, "September Dawn", “The Island”…and yes, “Abercrombie & Fitch ” ads.

why we’re crushing…

we have crushes on boys not only because of their hotness, but also because of who they are as people. with Trent Ford… he’s so downright beautiful that he could just stand there and smile all day and we’d be blushing, giggling… hooked.

the girl crush…

Brooke Elliott

the girl…

actress, musical theater diva, rising star.

where you know her from…

the totally addicting new Lifetime show “Drop Dead Diva”, “Law & Order: Trial by Jury”, and she had a little tiny part in that old school Mel Gibson movie “What Women Want”. she also was in the national touring cast of “Wicked” with Adam Lambert from American Idol… before they were both famous of course. Drop Dead Diva is her breakout role, but we think she’s got a ton of big things ahead.

“A Brand New Day Mix”

what’s the theme?

it’s the start of a new year – a new decade even, so we put together a mix of songs that inspire us to rise above the things that hold us back, leave the negative things behind, and move forward.

get your mix started…

whether it’s a person, or a situation that’s broken you down or made you feel like giving up, or there’s a memory making you think you’re stuck, these songs will help motivate you to pick yourself up… dust your shoulders of… breathe… let it go… and start something brand new.

what’s the quote?

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be?”

what’s the destination?

Paris, France – "The City of Light"

what France is famous for…

The Eiffel Tower, the Alps, Pyrenees & Vosges mountain ranges, The Cathedral of Notre Dame, The Palace of Versailles, The French Riviera, The Louvre, The Mona Lisa, The Three Musketeers, Joan of Arc, Napoleon, gourmet food, ballet, chocolate, quaint cafés, being the center of high fashion, and Johnny Depp’s wife – Vanessa Chantal Paradis!

have we been there?

weeee WISH. someday we WILL go to Paris – that’s why we’re practicing our French!

Paris, France

why we wanna go there…

from what we’ve seen and heard, it’s beautiful of course! we love the idea of going somewhere where they celebrate beauty and fashion and art and romance. we want to visit the rest of he country along with visiting Paris, but we also want to be completely cliché and experience everything touristy about Paris. the language is so beautiful and we want to be able to speak it fluently before we go so we can be totally immersed in the energy and have a fairytale adventure .

what we wanna do in Paris…

The Eiffel Tower

like we said, we want to be completely cliché and do the predictable things in Paris – but there is reason over 200,000,000 people have visited the tower – it’s awesome! we want to for sure see it at night when it’s all lit up and the fountains are sparkling .

The Eiffel Tower images »

Notre Dame Cathedral

the images we’ve seen of this are breathtaking. it looks like a castle inside! we can only image that actually being inside, you would feel magic all around you.

Notre Dame Cathedral images »

Angelina

one of the cheesy things we really have to do is eat at the french cafés. we read about ‘Angelina’ and it’s rumored that they have the most amazing hot chocolate ever, so we want to have hot chocolate and french breakfast there!

Angelina, Paris »

Classic Walks of Paris

this is total “Paris for Dummies” but we’re all about it. they take you around to all the cheesy touristy stuff and they speak english, haha. they take you on The Da Vinci Code Walk, The French Revolution Walk, The World War II Walk, The Montmartre Walk, Latin Quarter Walk, and they even offer bike tours. it sounds like a fun way to take in French history.

Classic Walks of Paris »

The Louvre

we can’t imagine going to Paris and not seeing this.

The Louvre »

Paris Opera Ballet

even though ballet originated in Italy, it was developed and perfected in France. and since we love dance, we think it would be incredible to experience a classic ballet in the country where it became such an incredible art form. we hear it’s practically impossible to get tickets, but since we’re dreaming right now, we’ll pretend we can get them haha.

Paris Opera Ballet »

Go Boutique Shopping

even if we can’t afford the clothes we’ll just drool over them and maybe try some on. but it’s the center of fashion so we have to go shopping!

Shopping In Paris »

Visit A Chocolate Shop

we don’t really care which one we would visit… in fact, we might just go to all of ‘em .

Paris Chocolate Shops »

Outside Of Paris

we definitely want to venture outside of Paris. we want to travel through the French Countryside and stay in a château, we want to party on the French Riviera, and because we love the mountains, we want to have adventures in the French Alps and stay in a beautiful alpine chalet. *sigh* someday .

what’s the buzz?

Ballet

why it’s so awesome…

if you are a dancer, it’s the core of all dance. ballet gives you technique and strength, and helps you learn where to position your body. if you are not a dancer, it’s a great workout, it helps create long and lean lines in your body, and it’s fun!

have we taken classes?

krissie had her first ballet slippers on at 3 years old, and the rest of us have all taken classes to help our cheerleading and dance technique. ashlee has even taken ballet classes to help with her agility in soccer.

the history of ballet…

ballet started all the way back in the 1400′s in Italy during the Renaissance period when art, creativity, and performance were thriving. then, in the 1500′s the dance style was introduced to France where it was developed, and became a well recognized art form. the first official school of ballet was then established by King Louis XIV of France, which is where all the french terms used today in ballet were created !

some common french ballet terms…

• Arabesque – dancer is standing on one straight leg, the other straight leg is extended behind the body
• Ballerina – female ballet dancer
• Barre – a horizontal bar used for bracing in the practice of ballet
• Chassé – a rapid, gliding dance step forward or sideways
• Danse – dance
• Développé – one leg is raised to the knee of the supporting leg and fully extended
• Glissade – a sliding step beginning and ending in the fifth position
• Jeté – ballet leap in which the weight of the dancer is transferred from one foot to the other
• Pas de deux – dance for two
• Piqué – executed by stepping directly on the point or demi-pointe of the working foot in any desired direction or position with the other foot raised in the air
• Pirouette – a complete turn of the body on one foot, on point or demi-pointe
• Plié – full bending of the knees
• Relevé – raising of the body on the points or demi-pointes, point or demi-pointe

the benefits of ballet…

if you are a dancer, ballet is incredibly important for technique. it helps strengthen your core which is super important. a stronger core gives you balance and helps a ton with keeping your turns upright. ballet also teaches proper placement of your body and limbs. this is why barre exercises are important, so that when you are in motion away from the barre, proper body placement is second nature. ballet helps prevent injury by helping with overall strength and flexibility, it gives you long and lean lines, and in general, ballet gives you grace and beauty in your movement .

if you are not a dancer, ballet is a fun workout! it improves your posture, increases flexibility, it tones your body, it’s creative, and even non dancers could use more grace and beauty in their movement .

where to take ballet…

most areas have at least one dance studio in town or near by. and most studios offer some sort of beginner or adult ballet class, so you don’t have to be a pro! if you don’t have friends or family in dance classes to get a review from, then check out a studio for yourself. usually studios will allow you to observe a class before signing up, and some even offer one free class to make sure you like it. doing a local internet search for dance studios in your area is a good place to start, but a lot of great studios are not internet savvy yet, so it’s good to check your local phone book too.

dance classes can be intimidating, but just go in with the attitude that you are excited to learn, and don’t worry about what other people think! don’t judge yourself either… you can’t get good at something unless you start it in the first place right? so take a risk and go for it!

what to wear to class…

a lot of studios have dress codes – especially for ballet, so check with the studio you want to attend classes at to see what they would like you to wear before you go shopping. a pretty common ‘uniform’ for a ballet class is a black leotard with pink tights, and pink, black, or nude ballet slippers, but some studios allow you more freedom.

when you are ready to go shopping though, totally check out our favorite place for dance gear online. they have a huge stock and really good discounts…

Discount Dancewear at All About Dance »

ballet on DVD…

so maybe you would rather try out a little ballet and get a little vocabulary in before you take an actual class. well you’re in luck! there are actually ballet DVDs where you can get some practice and technique in at home!

who are the the starlets?

Alicia Silverstone, Stacey Dash, Brittany Murphy, Elisa Donovan

who are the stars?

Paul Rudd, Donald Faison, Breckin Meyer, Jeremy Sisto

what’s the review?

best. movie. ever.

the story…

a rich high school student in Beverly Hills named Cher and her best friend Dionne are popular, pretty, fashionable, and full of trendy vocabulary. the adorable movie follows their adventures with boys, school, friends, charity, fashion, and learning who they are.

Alicia Silverstone

noone else ever could have played this role. it’s like Reese Witherspoon in Legally Blonde – who Alicia was in real life created such a unique twist on the character. she plays it so perfect that no matter how stuck up her character acts, you can’t help but adore her.

Stacey Dash

she’s also the perfect sidekick. Dionne helps Cher’s attitude make absolute sense, and again, Stacey is so spot on in the role that you love her no matter what.

Brittany Murphy

she was so endearing in this, and had adorable comedic timing. the accent, the clumsiness, the ‘makeover’ – unforgettable.

why we love it…

it’s like the best movie to put in and it instantly makes you happy and takes you into a world where nothing is serious and everything is rediculously girlie. it’s filled with adorable clothes, catch phrases you know by heart, and despite the fact that it seems like a shallow movie at first glance, the humor in it is actually incredibly smart and whitty, and the acting really is completely perfect. this movie was the original that lead to ‘Meangirls’, Bring it On’, ‘Gossip Girl’ and all clever teen movies and shows. we have seen this movie more times than we can count, and we’ll keep watching over and over and over…

The Holiday »

who are the the starlets?

Cameron Diaz, Kate Winslet

who are the stars?

Jude Law, Jack Black

what’s the review?

hliarious, endearing, perfectly unconventional holiday movie.

the story…

two women – one from England – and one from LA, need to get away from their troubles for the holidays, so they swap houses and experience each other’s worlds.

Cameron Diaz

she has such amazing comic timing, and even though her character is a high-strung stress case in this, Cameron is so adorable that you love her anyways.

Kate Winslet

even though we know Kate is confident and strong in real life, she is great as the fumbling and insecure girl who comes into her own.

Jude Law

at first you think his character is pretty much a schmoe in this, but he ends up being really charming, and his character has the cutest daughters ever.

Jack Black

such a different role for him. he’s sweet, and calm, and a total gentleman, and he has amazing chemistry with Kate Winslet in this. aside from his more down-to-earth role, he’s still super funny, and helps make this movie memorable.

summary…

it’s an all around adorable romantic comedy, and turns out to be funnier than you expect. all the actors are great in it, and it’s great for anytime of the year .

what’s the destination?

Lake Tahoe

what’s the geography?

it’s a massive freshwater lake in the Sierra Nevada mountain range. it’s 2/3 in California, and 1/3 in Nevada, so you could live like 2 minutes away from your best friend, but still live in different states. it’s warm weather in the summer, and a snow wonderland in the winter.

have we been there?

YES. Hands down the most beautiful place we’ve ever been. It’s the best place ever.

what it’s famous for ….

it’s the largest alpine lake in North America, it has snowboarding for days, major casinos, incredible views, amazing hiking, awesome cabin vacations, and, ‘The Godfather’ and ‘The Bodyguard’ both filmed scenes there!

Lake Tahoe

why go there?

it’s breathtaking, life-changing, spiritual, magical, and the water is incredibly blue and sparkly. it’s for reals one of the most memorable places in the world.

what to do…

snowboarding & skiing

Lake Tahoe is like a snowboarding and skiing heaven. with 14 mountains to choose from, you will find everything from beginning slopes to olympic powder. our favorites are Sugarbowl, Alpine Meadows, Sierra, and Boreal has night boarding!

Lake Tahoe snowboarding & skiing »

North Shore Tahoe & amazing mexican food

even though South Lake gets the most action, don’t forget about North Shore. everything in North Shore looks like it’s from Santa’s Village – even the gas stations are cute. King’s Beach has this incredible park area on the lake, you can drive through the North Shore neighborhoods and see incredible houses, and Tahoe City has one of the best mexican food restaurants ever.

the fashionista…

Whitney Port

the girl…

reality tv’s biggest sweetheart and a fashion designer.

where you know her from…

“The Hills” and “The City”.

why we love whitney…

even when she’s in the middle of "The Hills’ drama and surrounded by snooty New York socialites, she’s still completely sweet and genuine and nice to people. she’s also super tall, crazy gorgeous, and has uh-mazing hair.

her fashion résumé…

Teen Vogue, People’s Revolution, Diane von Furstenberg, People’s Revolution – again, and now she has her own fashion line, “Whitney Eve”.

Whitney Eve…

her clothing line, Whitney Eve, is super girlie and filled with adorable dresses. she uses a ton of color in her collection, and though her line is far from discount, with a price point of $60 to $400, her clothes are at least possible.

the whitney style…

classy and dressy, but still young and fun. she looks like a model, so everything fits her beautifully.

get more whitney…

check out a ton of whitney photos at her fashion spot forum ».

whitney answering questions…

whitney’s so cute and sweet! <3

what’s the destination?

Albuquerque, New Mexico

what’s the geography?

it’s in Rio Grande valley next to the Sandia and Manzano mountains. it’s kinda this whole warm and dry "deserty" plateau area, with snow on the mountains in the winter. So you can take a nice walk in the sun, and go snowboarding all in one day!

what it’s famous for …

A huge Hot Air Balloon Festival, the Indie Rock Band ‘The Shins’, an Aerial Tramway, Freddie Prinze, Jr. grew up there, and it’s where ‘High School Musical’ is supposed to take place, ha ha.

have we been there?

yup! krissie lived near there for a little when she was a kid, and ashlee has ‘family tripped’ it.

Albuquerque, New Mexico

why go there?

for the beautiful sunsets and the neat things to do, that you can’t do anywhere else.

what to do…

go to the Hot Air Balloon Festival

The Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta is a huge balloon festival where there are over 700 hot air balloons in the sky all at once. It happens in October and it’s like the main reason to go to Albuquerque so you have to go!

the hot air balloon festival »

go on Hot Air Balloon Rides

The festival is only once a year, so if you go any other time, you can still take hot air balloon rides.

rainbow ryders hot air balloon rides »

Rio Grande Botanic Garden

we love botanical gardens – anywhere. tons of pretty flowers and fountains and pretty things… it’s always fun!

rio grande botanic garden »

visit Old Town Albuquerque

old town albuquerque »

get pampered at a day spa

get massages, manicures, pedicures, and skin treatments with some awesome natural ingredients.

albuquerque day spas »

Sandia Peak Tramway

it’s the world’s longest aerial tramway. you can take a ride above the canyons at 10,378 feet where you can see an 11,000 square-mile panoramic view of the Rio Grande Valley and the Land of Enchantment. that’s pretty sweet.

what’s the cinéma?

Uptown Girls »

who are the the starlets?

Brittany Murphy, Dakota Fanning, Marley Shelton

who are the stars?

Donald Faison, Jesse Spencer

what’s the review?

our favorite Brittany Murphy role for sure. Dakota Fanning is adorable in everything, but she has the best ’8 year old going on 40′ in this ever.

the story…

Molly, played by Brittany Murphy, is a spoiled rich daughter of a rock legend who is forced to get a job when all of her money is stolen. She takes a job as a nanny for a little girl nicknamed ‘Ray’ who needs to be reminded of her childhood, and in return helps Molly sort out her own issues about growing up.

Brittany Murphy…

we love her character in this because we totally relate to not ever wanting to grow up . she does a great job at playing spoiled in this, but still being endearing so you love her.

Dakota Fanning…

we actually decided to watch ‘Uptown Girls’ again because we just went to see ‘New Moon’ this weekend and wanted to watch Dakota back in her innocent years, haha. she’s definitely skilled beyond her years as an actress, and so good in this movie.

why watch it?

it’s an adorable story about a big girl not wanting to grow up and a little girl having to grow up too fast and how they find a balance in the middle. Brittany and Dakota are super cute in it, Donald Faison is pretty funny in it, and Jesse Spencer is kinda hot in it. it’s a feel good Sunday afternoon movie that doesn’t make you over think, but still inspires you a little.

what’s the story?

every year on thanksgiving, CNN honors 10 amazing people who inspire others, work unbelievably hard to help others, and who passionately care about others.

this was for sure better than any parade or football game on thanksgiving. it was super beautiful to hear these people’s stories, and it really made us aware of things we don’t know much, or anything about. sometimes we think our problems are so so big and scary, but hearing the causes these people are crusading for makes what we face seem so small.

what’s the cinéma?

How To Deal »

who’s the starlet?

Mandy Moore

who’s the star?

Trent Ford

what’s the review?

one of those movies you haven’t heard a lot about, so you rent it thinking, hmmm… this might be ok i guess :\. but then you end up falling in love with it and keeping it extra days, and eventually buying it.

the story…

Halley is a teenager who is completely jaded about love after seeing all the messed up relationships in her life fall apart. her parents are divorced. her dad – who is the dad from the O.C., and is super hilariously cheesy in this – has a new young girlfriend who Halley and her sister totally can’t stand. her mother is alone and bitter, and her sister is doing the typical ‘huge wedding’ thing but isn’t necessarily truly happy. in addition to all that, her best friend is single and pregnant. Halley meets a cute boy and goes through liking him, loving him, hating him, and learning how to believe in love along the way.

Mandy Moore…

who would’ve known before ‘A Walk To Remember’ that Mandy Moore was an awesome actress! turns out she’s naturally gifted and totally unaffected and completely believable in every part she takes on. actress… singer… whatever she does, she was born to be a performer. We love her in ‘How To Deal’ because she is genuinely ‘Halley Martin’ and we couldn’t imagine this movie without her.

Trent Ford…

we had no idea who Trent Ford was before this movie, and we didn’t find out until after that he was also a high fashion model, and british, haha. but we did know all along that he’s wayyyy HOT. he’s maybe part of the reason we bought this movie ;D. he has this sexy ‘hair-in-the-face’ thing going, and an incredibly adorable smile.

why watch it?

it’s a teen love story drama, but it’s not typical. Mandy Moore really is incredibly good in it, Trent Ford really is incredibly cute in it, the dad really is cheesy funny in it, and it really is a unique story and seriously good movie.

it’s an amazing city with an amazing skyline, and beautiful views for 360 degrees.

what to do…

visit the Space Needle… just do it :p

it may be the most obvious option, but how can you go somewhere with 360 degrees of beautiful views and not see it from 600 feet up in the sky?

the space needle »

The Pike Place Market

it’s this huge farmers market on the waterfront. it’s open every day of the year except Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s Day.

the pike place market »

see some live music

seattle has a jam-packed music resume, so it’s definitely worth checking out a festival or concert while you’re there.

• Bumbershoot: Seattle’s Music & Arts Festival
• Seattle Music Fest
• The Gorge Amphitheatre

…and we’re pretty sure there is an updated version of a scene straight out ‘Mad Love’ happening somewhere downtown, so check around the clubs and concert venues for local bands that are playing, or cool bands coming through town while you’re there.

baseball…

if you’re there during the season, you can catch a game at Safeco Field.

go snowboarding!

ok we don’t mean go snowboarding in Seattle. there are a bunch of mountains nearby that you can get to within a few hours, so take a day to head over to Whistler, Mount Baker, Snoqualmie, Stevens Pass, or Crystal Mountain.

what is it?

whether it’s because they are magical, mathmatical, spiritual, religious, superstitious, or like us – they love making wishes, people all over the world are inspired by the numbers 11:11.

what it means to us…

we always say… "it’s 11:11, make a wish!". so for us, it’s a combination of luck, magic, angels, and friendship all in one. and because we’re not all together all the time – it reminds us that someone out there loves us and we are not alone .
