What Have We Been Watching?

Hi! As soon as I get home from work, mine and Johnny’s routine goes like this: Chat about our day and then turn on our shows! There is literally nothing better than sinking into the couch with my main squeeze and watching one of our programs together and I revel in it every day. It’s so nice to kick my feet up, relax, and let the stress of the work week melt away as we get lost in something good and it is one of my favorite things in the world. ❤ Our current lineup consists of the following:

Supernatural:

One of my client’s all time favorite shows is Supernatural and the odds and ends I have seen were intriguing. So much so, that Johnny and I recently decided to give it a go. There are fifteen seasons of Supernatural and after watching just one episode together, we couldn’t believe we hadn’t watched it before! Supernatural is the saga of ghost hunters and brothers, Sam and Dean, who travel across the country solving murders with a paranormal aspect. It is basically CSI but with ghosts and we are so there for it! This show is hilarious and has amazing eye candy a la Dean and we are completely hooked. Also, if you are a fan of the show and didn’t know – the guy who plays Dean is in a band called Radio Company and they freaking RULE. You are in for a treat if you give them a listen because holy cow Dean has some PIPES!!!

Blockbuster:

Johnny and I simply adore a workplace comedy and enjoyed watching and rewatching the one season Blockbuster on Netflix. This show revolves around the last Blockbuster left standing and the irony is not lost that Netflix drove Blockbuster out of business lol. I so wish that this show didn’t get cancelled because it really is fun. The cast is an utter delight, the laughs are nonstop, and seeing a Blockbuster again hits right in the nostalgia. Highly recommend if you are looking for a quick and funny watch but don’t get too attached lol our viewings have only left us wanting more!

From:

We are avid fans of From and, I have to admit, we found season four to be kind of a dud. However, we went through serious withdrawals after it ended and decided to rewatch it as we eagerly await the fifth and final season. I’m really glad we are because I didn’t realize how much I had forgotten about the early seasons. So much so, that it kind of feels like watching it again for the first time. It is SO crazy to be back at the beginning and see how young everyone looks and pick up on things that we missed from our first experience with the show. I am highly disappointed in season four, but maybe it will be a bit better the second time around.

Obsession:

Watching movies doesn’t happen as often at chez nous because Johnny always falls asleep during them lol. But watching Obsession was a must as soon as it was released on Peacock! I hadn’t stopped thinking about it since I saw it in theaters and was chomping at the bit for him to see it too. Granted, we did pause halfway through so he could take a nap (no surprise there) but he loved it just as much as I did when we finished it. We both agreed that Obsession is, easily, one of the best recent horror movies out there and it was a triumph. The story line? Gripping. The acting? Unbelievable. The scares? Can’t be beat! I could watch it again and again and not grow tired of it. In fact, maybe I’ll give it a rewatch this weekend while Johnny snoozes!

TV time is the best time at my place and I can’t wait to see what Sam and Dean of Supernatural get into when I get home today!! 😀

What Have We Been Watching?

Hello!! There is literally nothing better to me and Johnny than sitting down after work and watching TV. It’s our favorite way to unwind after a long day and I always look forward to our evening entertainment. We have a handful of shows that we have been cycling through and maybe you’ll enjoy them too! Let’s discuss:

My Hero Academia:

Johnny is not an anime fan in the slightest but I SO am. In fact, my brother and I recently started going to an anime club at the library to watch new shows and chat it up with likeminded individuals. During our last meeting we watched the first few episodes of My Hero Academia and I freaking loved it. So much so that I have been watching an episode every morning since while I eat my breakfast.

Long story short, the anime is basically like a superhero comic book. Children are born with powers or “quirks” as they call them and spend their days training to become a pro superhero. Our protagonist, Deku, was born with no quirks but it’s his dream to become a hero even without a special power. My Hero Academia follows his from zero to hero plot line and it is a delight! Action packed, hilarious, and heartwarming – this anime has got it all!

Farmer Wants A Wife:

Lololol. Johnny and I originally started watching season one of Farmer Wants A Wife as a joke. Then, somewhere along the way, it turned into one of our favorite dating shows. We are currently watching season four as it airs and it’s exactly what you would expect if you have seen the show before… Girls in terrible outfits trying to woo a farmer through hard work on their land and competing for fleeting moments of their attention. Is it stupid? Absolutely! Are we going to continue watching it for forever? ABSOLUTELY.

The Last Kingdom:

We watched The Last Kingdom when we first started dating and both agree that is superior to Game Of Thrones. Yeah, I said it! We decided to start watching it again from the beginning so we can finally watch the movie that ties the series together. The Last Kingdom is all about the Saxons and Danes as they fight for power across England. Every episode is full of surprises and the man candy of Uhtred is especially nice! I have forgotten a majority of this show and it feels like watching it for the first time. I am so glad we’re giving it another go and love our nightly viewings of an episode or two.

From:

I have wanted to watch the horror series From for ages and we finally began watching it about a month ago. Mere seconds into the first episode we were completely in and devoured the first three seasons. Now, sadly, we have to wait for the weekly new episode installment of season four and it sucks. I just want to binge watch it all!

The premise of From goes like this… A family is driving to a vacation destination when they come across a tree in the road causing them to turn around and find another way. Rather than hitting the highway, they come across a rundown town and continue to return to it. Eventually, they realize they are stuck with the townspeople in a place they can’t leave. What’s more, monsters come out at night slaying everyone in their path. From is twisty, turny, and harrowing and it is my new favorite show. The acting is sublime, the plot is so intriguing, and I’m constantly on pins and needles for what’s going to happen next!

It’s always fun to dive into a new series and you are in for a treat if you give any of these shows a go. They are great!

What are you currently watching? What was the last show you binge watched? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah

Makeup Magic OOTD Bloopers

Hello everyone and welcome to the Blooper Reel from my Makeup Magic OOTD! I would never consider myself a makeup girl and much prefer purchasing clothes and shoes instead. However, if someone else is doing my makeup then that’s a totally different story! I had such a delightful time getting my face beat by my makeup artist friend who works at MAC. She did a bang up job and I was SO impressed with her skills because Lil Red could NEVER lol. I wouldn’t even know where to begin to recreate the MOTD she made up on a whim. Although I was feeling myself in a major way after my makeup was done, yikes shots are always going to happen during an OOTD shoot! Take a look:

Serving face but not in the good way. Also why is my hair ALWAYS sticking up?!

Strike a pose there’s nothing to it – VOGUE

The faraway look of a hungry girl who can’t wait to eat at Buca Di Beppo

Whoopsie! I actually kind of like this picture lol

Makeup: 10. My face: -5

I am SO beautiful ❤

My Johnny and I very much enjoyed the horror series, Welcome To Derry, and were yearning for another scary show to sink our teeth into. I have always wanted to watch From as I have heard nothing but good things about it and we finally started watching it two or so weeks ago. All I have to say is: Holy shit. Lol that show is freaking nuts and we cannot get enough! I look forward to watching an episode or two every day after work and genuinely feel sad when it’s time to start heading to bed. This is the most binge worthy series I have watched in a long time and I highly recommend it to any horror fan.

To make a long story short, people who are traveling end up in a town they can’t escape from and creatures come out at night. The atmosphere is claustrophobic, the plot is insane, and the acting is sublime. It’s hard to put a tally on how many times Johnny and I say “wtf” when we are watching From but I would put it in the twenties, bare minimum. We’re honestly two of the most obnoxious TV watchers on the planet but it’s hard to not vocalize it because, I repeat, wtf with that show lol. If you are looking for a twisty, spooky tale that warrants a wtf every five to seven minutes, then you have got to give it a try! 😀

Wtf with From and wtf with these bloopers! Have a laugh and then have a scare because you will be hooked after one episode!

Have you watched From? What do you think of it? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah
