March Madness and Daylight Savings

March 12, 2012

It’s my husband’s favorite time of year. It has nothing to do with the approach of spring or the extra hour of sunshine we get each day. No, this time of year means one thing and one thing only to him—college basketball. His annual incarnation as a rabid basketball fan leaves me with some extra [...]

Chocolat, My Favorite Book-to-Movie Love Story

March 9, 2012

My favorite book-to-movie love story is more than a romance between a man and a woman. Chocolat is also a story about a closed and traditional community that is forever lifted and enlivened  by our heroine, Vianne (Juliette Binoche), and about how she learns to accept the love and support of other people for probably [...]

The Serious Chick Flick (Pass The Tissues Please)

March 8, 2012

This movie is one of my all time favorite romances.  Clint Eastwood, Meryl Streep.  How could you possibly go wrong?  The story is one of doomed love.  Robert, the National Geographic photographer and Francesca, the Iowa housewife, want each other desperately, but can’t have what they want.  They have four days to experience this amazing gift it’s [...]

Movie Discussion: The Vow

March 6, 2012

Kaylie: As a certifiable movie nut, I was so happy to be reviewing one this month.  I love to go see a good movie, but honestly, it doesn’t even have to be that great to make me happy.  I just love the experience of the darkened theater, the previews and the candy.  I’ve actually seen [...]

Shower Gel, Carry Me Away!

March 2, 2012

Okay girls, let’s keep this game going. My particular desert island would have to have a shower. Assuming it did, super-fragrant shower gel is the one product I would have to have with me. Over the past few years I’ve become almost exclusively a shower-taker. (Bathtub plumbing issues — don’t ask!) The shower is where [...]

Can’t Live Without Bath & Body Works!

March 1, 2012

I’m in to beauty products.  Show me a yummy smelling bottle of lotion or some great mascara, and my knees melt.  But I think my favorite beauty products under one roof would have to be by Bath & Body Works.  Just stepping foot in that place puts a smile on my face.  Everything smells so good and [...]

We’re chatting about our must-have beauty products all week long here at Romance Mavens. I’ve been noticing lately that the older I get, the more must-have items make it to my list. But for the sake of this post, I tried to narrow it down to just one. To choose just one, I pulled out the [...]

My Must-Have Makeup Product

February 28, 2012

Hey everyone! It’s Pepper again, and I’m so happy we’re talking about our favorite beauty products this week. That’s an easy one for me. I naturally have very pale lips, so wearing lip color is absolutely essential in order to look alive and healthy. For years I used a good quality, standard type lipstick. But [...]
