The My Blue Heaven story is even better - Nora Ephron wrote it based on Goodfellas, because she was married to the prosecutor in the real life case. I would definitely recommend watching (or rewatching) Goodfellas now that you've seen My Blue Heaven!
Related: Rick Moranis has come up in so many recent references for me (including the SNL doc and the Yacht Rock doc and now this) and it makes this gen x lady so very happy!
Dying to hear how Freddie is handling the notoriety as well as how your kids are doing ? I love how you talk about him and I can feel you grinning with my whole chest💕.
awww, thank you for asking, Sheila. Freddie says he enjoys it (he's hearing from lots of his guy friend's wives, who read the site! so fun:) and the kids are nervous to meet him but getting used to the idea xoxo
hbd joanna!!! my birthday is today :) :) :) thx to jenny for the pants rec: as a petite lady as well, i'm always on the lookout.
my husband got me a kitchenaid mixer for my bday, and i immediately made bob's red mill decadent chocolate cake mix, with Smitten Kitchen's icing: https://smittenkitchen.com/2015/02/the-i-want-chocolate-cake-cake/ HIGHLY RECOMMEND this combo for an easy celebration!
also for beauty recs: i can't get enough of the jones road miracle balm in the winter - hydrating and sparkly and flushed the prettiest way! can i ask ya'll: i am wanting eyeshadow with some shimmer! any recs?! (my eyes are sensitive!)
Happy birthday! For eyeshadow with shimmer I love (these all come from excellent MUA Katie Jane Hughes) Urban Decay “space cowboy”, Half Magic “glitter puck” (this is huge and has a strangely cooling feeling?) and Bodyography glitter pigment in “celestial”. Bodyography and Urban Decay turned into my everyday neutrals on a recent Big International Trip! If I had to pick one: Urban Decay. Happy sparkling! ✨
I love a shimmery eyeshadow and I also have sensitive eyes. I've had great luck with Lisa Eldridge's Liquid Lurex shadows. The colors are beautiful and they dry down so no glittery fallout.
Thanks for the addition of 12 news tabs. :) I think since everyone is looking for healthier methods of escapism (when chardonnay no longer works), I would love to send you a copy of my book "Thinking in Watercolo" (Artisan March 4)! I hope we can chat.
