Vintage Fruit Basket

Hello!! My style of home decor is basically if Halloween and a thrift store threw up lol. I, of course, love my spooky decorations and am very partial to quirky statement pieces that probably belonged to someone’s grandma. I treat my home decor like my clothing – I want the items that no one else has and the latest decorations I was gifted definitely take the cake. I would be hard pressed to find anyone in my general vicinity with this funky Vintage Fruit Basket! Check it out:

My client’s mom has been on a decluttering binge and always asks me if I would like anything before she takes it to Goodwill. The most recent being this “fruit” basket that her mom gifted her with for Christmas decades ago. My answer to taking it home was a resounding YES because seriously how could I not?! Just look at those little faces! This fruit basket simply delights me and it reminds me so much of the refrigerator food in Pee Wee’s Playhouse. Every time I see it puts a smile on my face and the old saying really is true: One woman’s trash is another woman’s treasure.

I mentioned that I love quirky statement pieces and I think the statement doesn’t get any quirkier than this. And the best part? I don’t ever have to worry about this fruit going bad! If I saw this at a thrift store, it would have been in my cart without hesitation and I couldn’t wait to get home and show Johnny our “new” centerpiece. I can recall being enamored with this fruit basket when I worked with my client over a decade ago and completely forgot about it until I saw it again. We are reunited and it feels so good and I feel so spoiled to have been treated to this vintage masterpiece. The orange and banana are my fave!

So fruity and oh so fun – I am going to treasure this for forever!

Have you had any good thrift store finds recently? Do you go vintage shopping or antiquing often? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah

I’m Back!!!!!

Yoohoo!!! I have been mentioning a trip to Italy and today is the day that I return home. Prior to the big trip, I was working my nads off to schedule content out on lifewithlilred and the social media page that I manage. It was a lot of work and for the past three weeks I was clocking in ten plus hour days between working from home and with my clients. It was well worth all of the effort to ensure that my blog baby and social media was tended to because you already know I have to keep that daily content streak going!! Yes, the extra work was exhausting but it felt SO good to steadily check each post off of my to do list so I could fully relax on my first vacation in five years. And all the way to Italy, no less!

This is my first time traveling internationally and I cannot wait to share my voyage with my dear readers. Starting next week it’s going to be All Italy Everything. We’re talking food (And wine!!!), killer OOTDs, sightseeing, and so much more. The so much more is TBD because I am writing this the morning that we depart from Cleveland, Ohio! This was my future self writing in this post and we will be back to present day soon. All I have to say is, shout out to future and past me for keeping lifewithlilred going strong even when I’m thousands of miles away from the A-K-Rowdy. And, shout out to all of you for joining me! ❤

I am leaving this morning but writing about being back home and it kind of feels like a Twilight Zone episode lol. Stick around for my adventures and we’ll all be back on the same time frame before you know it! ❤

Did you go on vacation this year? Where to? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah

Lil Red’s Book Club: You First By Caroline Kepnes Edition

Lil Red’s Book Club: You First By Caroline Kepnes Edition

Hello everyone and welcome to a brand new edition of Lil Red’s Book Club! In a spoiler free setting, as always, we are going to be discussing the prequel to the You series by Caroline Kepnes called You First. I have read two of the books in the series and have seen the entire show on Netflix so I was looking forward to finding out about the early years of Joe Goldberg. And, honestly, I wish I hadn’t lol. If you thought that Joe couldn’t possibly be more messed up, then this prequel will be as shocking for you as it was for me. I truly felt nauseous after the first few pages and I am SO glad to be done with it. Before we begin our chat, I will be placing a big fat trigger warning on You First for violent and obsessive behavior, highly disturbing content, and statutory rape. You ready? Let’s get to it:

Seventeen year old Joe Goldberg wandered into a bookstore called Mooney’s Books in New York City when he was twelve years old and hasn’t left since. His parents didn’t care for him or want him to begin with so he simply vanished and never looked back. Mr. Mooney took him under his wing and taught him all of the wrong lessons: That women are only good for one thing and that being punished means being locked in a box in the bookstore basement. Everyone has rejected Joe and he has no one outside of Mr. Mooney and all of the books that he considers to be his friends. Then, the world began to shift to the internet.

Compliments of Craigslist, Joe has begun writing Missed Connections posts to any and every woman he has encountered, even if it was for a moment. He checks his email religiously for replies and not a single post he made has ever been answered. There is a lot that is missing from Joe’s character but he is convinced that someone loving him will set him straight. And, wouldn’t you know, a beautiful young woman enters Mooney’s Books. She is not a customer but she sure needs to use the bathroom and Joe covers for her so she can relieve herself without facing the wrath of Mr. Mooney. Joe is instantly enamored by her but doesn’t have the guts to ask her out himself.

His prayers are answered as he scours Craigslist because there is a new Missed Connections post from the bookstore woman herself. Her name is Vail and she felt something for Joe in the bookstore too. They end up going on a date and then a few more and before you know it, Joe is in full on Goldberg mode and will do any and everything to make her stay. Vail might be older than Joe but her decisions in their relationship are anything but wise. Joe can feel her pulling away for another man and all the while he was thinking that he was her only man. As we all know, Joe holds onto his relationships tightly and this is not going to end well for those in this love triangle. Who will make it out alive? Read You First to find out!

Reading the thoughts of a teenage Joe Goldberg in You First was honestly like reading the diary of an incel and it was just plain gross. Joe has an insatiable appetite for sex although he is a virgin and loathes himself for not being the object of a woman’s affection. You First felt like a constant loop of think about sex, obsess over Vail, hate himself, and skewing his own twisted thoughts to turn him into the victim. Prequel Joe is a pressure cooker ready to explode and is tamped down as long as his relationship with Vail is going okay. When it’s not? There is no telling what he was going to do and there came a point when I simply didn’t care to find out even though I finished the book.

I applaud Caroline Kepnes as her writing was excellent and she perfectly portrays Joe as he begins to succumb to his sickness for the first time. However, the subject matter just wasn’t for me and this is not a Netflix show. It’s not watered down with fluff and celebrities. It is words on pages and they were often incredibly hard to read. If you are familiar with the show You or the books, then I’m sure you already have an idea of what direction You First is going to take. Hell, I knew it from the jump. That little bit of hope for things to turn out differently was the only reason I kept reading. And, when I was done, I just felt disappointed and empty. You First was a harrowing read that I would not recommend unless you know what you are getting yourself into. If I did, I probably wouldn’t have bothered reading it!

Overall, I am going to rate You First with a two out of ten stars. These stars were given strictly because I enjoyed the writing style of Caroline Kepnes and negative infinity stars go to Joe Goldberg for being a vile piece of trash!

How do you feel about the You series? Have you read the books, watched the show, or both? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah

Going Green At Home: Everyday Changes That Can Make A Difference

Going Green At Home: Everyday Changes That Can Make A Difference

Making your home more eco-friendly doesn’t mean spending thousands on upgrades or changing how you live overnight. Sometimes, it’s as simple as using less electricity, wasting less food, or thinking twice before buying something new. These everyday changes can help you save money and reduce waste. If you’re not sure where to start, a few practical energy-saving tips can be a good first step:

Start with your everyday energy use:

Check where electricity may be going to waste before buying new equipment. Lights left on in empty rooms, half-full dishwasher cycles, and electronics sitting on standby all add to household consumption. A plug-in energy monitor can show how much power individual appliances use, while many utility accounts provide hourly or daily usage data.

The US Environmental Protection Agency’s at-home climate guidance recommends practical measures such as choosing efficient appliances and managing heating and cooling carefully. Try adjusting your thermostat by one or two degrees, washing clothes in cold water, and letting dishes air-dry when possible.

Consider cleaner household energy:

Once you understand your normal energy use, decide which home improvements could have the greatest effect. Sealing gaps around doors and windows may be the logical first move in a drafty property. An older home with high electricity bills could benefit from upgraded insulation, an efficient hot water system, or renewable energy.

You can also explore solar installations and battery storage alongside other energy-efficient upgrades. A professional energy assessment can help identify which improvements make the most sense for your property. Review several months of electricity bills before requesting an assessment, and ask how much electricity a proposed system is expected to produce, how it was sized, and what monitoring or maintenance it will require. These details can help you decide whether solar is a practical investment for your home.

Cut waste before it reaches the bin:

A household waste audit can reveal patterns that are easy to miss. For a week, take a quick look at what goes into your trash. You might find spoiled produce, disposable packaging, and paper towels account for most of it.

Plan meals around ingredients already in the refrigerator and freeze extra portions before they’re forgotten. Keep reusable shopping bags near your keys, choose refillable containers where practical, and use washable cloths for routine cleaning. The Center for Biological Diversity offers more sustainable living ideas, including ways to reduce consumption. Check local recycling rules too, since incorrect items can contaminate an otherwise recyclable load.

Buy less and keep things longer:

Before buying something new, consider whether you can repair it, borrow it, or buy it secondhand. A loose chair leg may only need wood glue and a clamp, while a worn shirt could become a cleaning cloth. Local lending groups and tool libraries are especially useful for equipment you’ll use once or twice a year.

When replacement really is necessary, look beyond the lowest price. Check the expected lifespan, warranty, energy rating, and availability of replacement parts. A durable appliance you can repair may deliver better value over time than a cheaper model that fails quickly. Waiting a day before nonessential purchases can also prevent impulse buys from becoming clutter.

Build changes into your routine:

Sustainable habits tend to stick when they’re tied to things you already do. Place a food-scrap container beside your chopping board, keep reusable bottles near the front door, and add leak checks to your seasonal cleaning list. These small prompts remove the need to remember every task from scratch.

Making your home more sustainable starts with the choices you make every day. Over time, these changes can make your home more efficient and help you reduce your environmental impact!

Fall Hiking Spree

Fall Hiking Spree

Hello! My brother, Andrew, and I are avid hikers and we just love exploring all of the beautiful Metro Parks that we are so lucky to live close to. Every year the Metro Parks host a fall and spring hiking spree and it is our time to shine! We are right in the midst of our fall hiking spree and have completed six out of the eight hikes needed to earn another shield for our walking sticks. The hiking spree offers a list of tons of hiking trails within a thirty or so mile radius and we always try to hit up the ones we have never been to before. It’s so exciting and we have found countless new favorite trails through the hiking spree process. The weather has been wonderful, the company is even better, and I can’t wait to hit the trails again!

A majority of people who live in Northeast Ohio would describe it as “boring” and most times, I have to concur lol. There is never much of anything going on! The hiking sprees, however, make me eat my words because how could all of that gorgeous scenery ever be boring?! Every time we begin a hike, I am in awe of the nature surrounding us. The tall trees, falling leaves, and wildlife are straight out of story books and we like to keep track of all of the animals we see on our adventures. During a recent walk along the water we saw twenty-two turtles! That might seem like a lot but it doesn’t come close to our world record hike of spotting fifty-five turtles, a beaver, a river otter, blue herons, and a million baby ducks all in one afternoon!

The fall hiking spree is, truly, our most beloved adventure of the year and it’s so cool to visit places in Ohio that we have never been to before. It really opens up a whole new world! For example, we did some shopping at a store in Medina called Sweets & Geeks and I had a brain blast to find a Metro Park nearby to serve as our “pick your own” hike. We settled on Buckeye Woods and were astounded by its sheer enormity. There were soccer fields, baseball diamonds, playgrounds, and a seemingly endless amount of trails to trek on. The trail we selected brought us deep into the woods and there were already lots of crunchy leaves on the ground to stomp on. My favorite! If it weren’t for the hiking spree, we never would have known about the park and that is what it’s all about. Yeah, Northeast Ohio isn’t so boring after all. 🙂

Take a hike! Seriously, it will do you a world of good and you will feel fabulous afterwards. There is nothing better than finding brand new paths in your own backyard!

Do you hike often? What is your favorite trail? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah

Bath & Body Works October 2026 Freebie

Bath & Body Works October 2026 Freebie

Howdy! Bath & Body Works is my go to store for bath and body care and their products have been staples in my home for close to a decade. I would never say I spend a crazy amount there because I follow a simple formula: Go hog wild during the Semi-Annual Sales, stock up on foaming hand soap as needed, cash in freebie coupons, rinse, and repeat. Thanks to this process that I perfected, my beauty hoard runneth over all year long with plenty of extra products to add onto prezzies for gift giving occasions too. It is always exciting to get a free travel size coupon in the mail because it is just the best little treat. To walk in and walk out with something totally free of charge is so rare and I live for it! I can’t get enough of this ultra nostalgic goodie that I picked out for my October Freebie:

I used to work at The Body Shop back in the day and it was one of my favorite jobs. It was such a joy to be surrounded by all of my must have makeup, skin care, and bath and body care every day and the employee perks were excellent. The body butter from The Body Shop will forever be one of my favorite things and I was especially partial to their Cocoa and Shea butter. Although I was most fond of their Vineyard Peach and Satsuma line, I just loved the classic and softer scents of Cocoa and Shea butter the best. I will always have a scent memory of those body butters that live rent free in my head and just had to go for the Coco Shea Hand Cream as my freebie.

One whiff of this hand cream was all it took to be transported back to my mall rat days in the best way possible. The Coco Shea cream is the perfect combination of the scents that I have loved for so long and it really does make me smile. I can recall working at TBS in the dead of winter when my hands would get super dry. Every morning I would open the store and snag a quick swipe of the Cocoa or Shea Butter from the tester jars to relieve my dry, red hands. I haven’t thought about that in ages and it came back as clear as day thanks to this little freebie tube of hand cream. Scent memories are crazy and I’m sure I will have lots of retail flashbacks with every use!

I miss The Body Shop more than words can say but shout out to B&BW for being a real one and sticking around!

What is your favorite scent? Do you have any scent memories? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah

Sephora Shopping

Sephora Shopping

Hi! When I shop Sephora, I tend to do so online because there are usually really good deals and the promise of free mini product and samples. However, I was running low on a few of my staples before my Italy vaca and hit the store, instead, as I didn’t have the time to wait for an online order. Johnny joined me for this quick errand because we were going on a date night afterwards and it was the first time he ever stepped foot in a Sephora. Needless to say, he was a bit overwhelmed and had the funniest reaction to my purchases lol let’s discuss:

I am not one to buy new makeup often and when I do, I stick to what I know. I am not good enough at doing my makeup to warrant a bunch of on the fly purchases that I probably will never use and my MOTD has been the same since high school lol smh. A makeup girl, I am not but I do have my tried and true essentials that I absolutely must have. The first of which is the Better Than Sex mascara by Too Faced. Although it is pricey at almost thirty bucks a tube, it really is the best mascara I have ever used. In just a few small swipes, my lashes are extended and covered in jet black exactly how I like it. I was a bit disappointed to have to buy the waterproof version as the OG one wasn’t available but beggars can’t be choosers on a time crunch! I have never used the waterproof formula so we’ll see what happens!

The next order of business was snagging another bottle of my beloved Urban Decay Face Bond Luminizer in Swan Lake. Back in the day, my go to option for a boost of brightness was the radiance beads by The Body Shop. Sadly, that product is no longer and I had to pivot this year to something different. A kind Sephora employee introduced me to the Face Bond Luminizer and the rest was history. I love it and it provides the exact same radiance and glow as my back in the day beads. One bottle costs thirty-four dollars but I actually think that’s not bad at all. I have been using the same bottle since January and still have a few applications left! … Johnny thought otherwise…

When I was ringing up my two products, the total came to just under seventy dollars and Johnny literally couldn’t believe it. When we exited the store his jaw was on the floor over two makeup items costing that much. In the makeup’s defense, both of my purchases are very long lasting and, although the shock of the price is painful, I consider it to be well worth it. This was Johnny’s first Sephora experience and I think it’s safe to say he will always have the same reaction whenever I need a reup on my beauty supplies!

What’s that old saying again? Beauty is pain? Or is it beauty is pricey?!

Where do you buy your makeup from? Do you get new makeup often? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah

Fall Flowers OOTD Bloopers

Fall Flowers OOTD Bloopers

Hello everyone and welcome to the Blooper Reel from my Fall Flowers OOTD! I don’t know how it’s going in your neck of the woods, but it is feeling SO fall in Ohio and I am living for it. Johnny and I spent this past summer sweating our nads off in our stifling apartment and it is a joy to feel comfortable both inside and out of our home. In fact, it has felt downright chilly some days at chez nous and it has been absolutely delicious to finally snuggle up in a cozy blanket and warm pajamas. It’s the simple things in life, right? Let’s get a peek at these bloopers and then stick around because I have the most insane story to tell you:

Yoohoo, boys!

How it looks when you shake someone’s hand with a fake buzzer

I’M SEXY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lmaoooo in my drunk aunt era

My hair looks like Kate’s in John & Kate Plus 8 in this shot lol smh

In my drunk aunt era or just simply drunk?

After seeing Resident Evil with a friend, I went to see it on a date night with Johnny over the weekend. I really enjoyed the movie and I was so excited for Johnny to see it because he is an avid fan of the games. We loaded up on snacks and drinks at the theater and made our way to our smack dab in the middle seats for a perfect view of the big screen. When the movie started, a handful of people walked in and seated themselves in the rows directly in front of the screen. They were kind of loud and obnoxious and had their phones out but it wasn’t anything distracting enough to take away from the movie. Until it was about halfway through…

When the movie started getting to the really good parts, I couldn’t quite believe my eyes and it was not due to the horror on the screen. One of the people had their bright phone high in the air and was literally FaceTiming the movie to a friend. Everyone in the back seats could see exactly what she was doing and it was pure insanity. I am one of those people who if I see you stealing something then I sure didn’t. However, this person was taking away from the experience of everyone in the theater and I wasn’t going to stand for it. Yes, in that moment I was that girl.

I got up from my seat to go “use the bathroom” AKA tell an employee what’s going on and the offender was promptly removed from the theater. She pitched a huge fit but babygirl what did you expect?! Lol I wouldn’t have cared if she was shooting off a text or two because I have definitely done that in a theater. But FaceTiming a movie to a friend for all to see was such a bold move and I was genuinely flabbergasted. I hate to be a person that complains but I definitely think it was complain worthy because what in the literal F!

Although this experience left me shaking my damn head, we still had a great date night and a crazy story to tell afterwards!

Have you ever experienced a similar situation at the movies? What happened? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah

The Comfort Of A Well-Maintained Home

Posted on by

The Comfort Of A Well-Maintained Home

A comfortable home supports your daily routines without demanding constant attention. Rooms feel settled, doors close properly and small repairs don’t linger in the back of your mind. That sense of ease comes from a mix of personal touches and regular maintenance, both indoors and outside. When you care for the details that affect comfort, security and shelter, your home becomes a place where you can truly relax:

Finding Comfort in Small Spaces:

Small rooms often feel cozier when every item has a purpose. Start by clearing surfaces, improving walkways and moving bulky furniture away from windows. Natural light, warm lamps and a few cheerful colors can make a compact room feel more open. The principles behind a home that feels good include sensory details such as light, texture and color.

Personal objects matter too. Display a favorite photograph, add a soft throw, or bring in a low-maintenance plant. These small touches can add character without creating clutter. Leave some open space so the room still feels easy to use and clean.

What Makes a Home Feel Safe:

Safety begins with predictable surroundings. Check that exterior doors latch correctly, stairways have good lighting, and smoke alarms work on every level. You should also address dripping pipes, loose railings, and damp patches before they become disruptive repairs. Guidance on creating a safe and comforting home also highlights the value of calm spaces and dependable routines.

Visible exterior damage deserves prompt attention. Homeowners and property managers in North Georgia can consult Sentinel Exteriors when planning exterior renovation work involving roofing, siding, windows, gutters, painting, or decks. Before hiring any contractor, request a written scope, ask who handles permits, and confirm how weather delays or hidden damage will affect the schedule.

Your Exterior – The Ultimate Protector:

Your home’s exterior takes the daily impact of sun, rain, wind, and changing temperatures. Inspect it at least twice a year and after severe weather. From the ground, look for lifted roofing materials, sagging gutters, peeling paint, cracked siding, and gaps around windows. Binoculars can help you check higher areas without climbing.

Keep gutters clear so water moves away from the foundation, then confirm that downspouts discharge several feet from the house. Trim branches that scrape the roof or siding and watch for deck boards that feel soft underfoot. Inside, yellow ceiling marks, musty smells, and peeling paint near windows may signal exterior moisture problems. Record what you find with dated photos, since these make it easier to track changes and explain the issue to a qualified professional.

Restoring Your Home’s Peace:

A long repair list can make home care feel overwhelming, so sort problems by urgency. Active leaks, electrical concerns, and unstable steps need quick professional attention. Drafty windows, faded paint, and worn finishes can usually wait while you gather estimates and set a realistic budget.

Once repairs are complete, return the room to normal promptly. Clean the area, replace moved furniture and store warranties, receipts, and before-and-after photos in one folder. A simple maintenance calendar can prevent the same problems from sneaking up again. Note seasonal tasks such as testing alarms, cleaning gutters, and checking seals around doors and windows.

The most satisfying moment often comes after you put the tools away and the house feels quiet again. Make a cup of tea, settle into your favorite spot, and enjoy the comfort created by details that now work as they should!

Groovy Movies: Heart of the Beast Edition

Posted on by

Groovy Movies: Heart of the Beast Edition

Hello everyone and welcome to a brand new edition of Groovy Movies! In a spoiler free setting, as always, we are going to be discussing the new Brad Pitt flick called Heart of the Beast. I could honestly give a hoot less about Brad Pitt but my friend wanted to see Heart of the Beast and I am never one to turn down an outing to the movie theater. Going to movies is my absolute favorite regardless of what I am seeing because I just love the experience of it! I went into Heart of the Beast not expecting anything from it and left pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed it. It was very good! Before we begin our chat, I will be placing a trigger warning for scenes of combat and animal attacks. You ready? Let’s go:

^^^ As always, I have no rights to this video!

James is a retired Special Forces Command Sergeant Major and is flying his plane to camp in the remote Alaskan wilderness with his combat dog, Odin (AKA Odie). James and Odie have been through a lot together and find what joy they can in nature. But, really, the only thing that brings James joy is his dog. They spend their day fishing and playing fetch before making camp for the night to get some rest for their departure the following day as the weather is going to turn. They awake to an overcast morning, pack up the plane, and begin their trip home as the rain starts to fall.

As James pilots the aircraft, he begins massaging his shoulder and eventually collapses on the wheel from a heart attack. The plane crashes and James lands in water but Odie is nowhere to be found. After emerging from the wreckage, James finds Odie lying on the ground in the woods, breathing but injured. James starts a fire, gets Odie comfortable, and consults his map to learn that they are fifty-eight miles away from the nearest road. They have no form of communication, no one is even aware of James being gone, and they are going to have to travel on foot to get back to civilization.

The following morning, James wakes up and Odie is upright, alert, and watching over him. Their journey home through the Alaskan wilderness is about to begin. The terrain is tough and there are dangerous animals like wolves and bears roaming. All James and Odie can do is put one foot in front of the other, keep up their strength, and avoid the animals stalking them at all costs. The trek is perilous and one wrong step could be their last. Will Odie and James be able to make it back safe and sound? Watch Heart of the Beast to find out!

Now, I’m sure all of you are wondering if Odie made it through the movie and I’m pleased to report that the answer is YES or else I wouldn’t have seen it. I also don’t consider this to be a spoiler because the movie opens revealing that Odie is okay. If you were on the fence about seeing this movie because of that, then you are free and clear to proceed! I am so glad that the movie started that way because I don’t think I would have liked it nearly as much if I was worried about Odie the whole time. Because of that, Heart of the Beast went from a probable tearjerker to an intense tale of survival and it had me on the edge of my seat.

Make no mistake, Brad Pitt was the star of the movie but Odie was the star and their relationship was so beautiful. I could literally feel the love in every scene and it made every slip, trip, and injury that much more harrowing because all I wanted was for them to make it through as a team. Odie was, indeed, fabulous and Brad Pitt was quite good and really showed his range as a physical actor. Not only were our two key players impossible to look away from, but the cinematography in Heart of the Beast was glorious. The scenery was gorgeous but it was fickle as danger lurked at every turn. Heart of the Beast was a fast paced thrill and, although I can’t say for certain if I would watch it again, I am definitely glad that I saw it in theaters!

Overall, I am going to rate Heart of the Beast with a seven out of ten stars. It wasn’t my favorite but I did like it a lot and I also think this is the first Brad Pitt movie I have ever seen lol.

Who is your favorite actor? What did you think about Heart of the Beast? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah
