Perks of Being A Wallflower (Movie)

 
I just watched this movie about a week ago.  I loved it.  I'll be honest, and admit that I did cry once or twice.....or maybe more. 

It's a film starring Emma Watson, Logan Lerman (from Percy Jackson), and Ezra Miller as the three main loved characters. "An introvert freshman is taken under the wings of two seniors who welcome him to the real world", is all IMDB.com says about the film, but I got to say it is way more than that.  I guess they chose such a lame description because this film is just....indescribable.

My favorite scene from the movie is by far, the home coming dance scene.  It's a scene where Sam (Watson) and Patrick (Miller) ,perform their "living room routine" which invlolves some extremely goofy dance moves.  But don't let that fool you, it looks so crazy and fun that you will want to jump right in and join those two even though they are the only ones dancing crazy like that.  Don't believe me?  Ask Charlie (Lerman), he joined them on the middle of the basketball court to partake in their fun.

Best part of the scene, is that it's played to "Come On Eileen" by Dexy's Midnight Runners!  Watch the scene below!  Then go rent the movie from RedBox!  (Or buy the book.  Which is what I'm planning on doing now.)

For some reason the YouTube videos are not playing when I add them through the blog.  So I'll link it here. 

Dresses, skirts, jewelry...oh my!

Guess where I found out about the site I'm about to share.....

If you guessed Pinterest.com then you are correct!

Let me just say, that there are a ton of adorable dresses on here!  But that isn't all there is.  Don't let the website domain fool you.  There are accessories and even men's clothing!

About 8 days ago, I ordered four dresses and it came to a total cost of almost $60.  That includes shipping and handling.  (Two of the dresses I chose are below.  Both were under $9.)

                          

The only downer to this all, is that unless you pay an arm and leg for faster shipping or you order an item that 'ships in 24 hours', your order can take up to a month to arrive.  Maybe even longer.

It's been over a week and my order is still in the process of being processed.  

I personally wouldn't have purchased from this website because I didn't know how credible it is.  One my friends needed a cute dress to wear to a wedding that is this week and she found a cute one that shipped in 24 hours.  Needless to say, she has the dress and she payed less than $20 for a cute dress!  That is the only reason why I actually purchased from here :)

When my dresses are finally being shipped, I'll put it on here!  And I'll definitely post about when they arrive!  *fingers crossed*

Go check out the site!  Determine it's credibility on your own.  If you decide to buy something and that item happens to ship in 24 hours, let me know how it looks and the quality!  

Have a very Eclectic-Adventure filled night!

GIANT CHOCOLATE COOKIE

Yes, you read the title correctly.  If you got excited about it, it probably means you're enjoying single-life too much.  I know that is the case for me.  I mean seriously......you have the option of baking a giant, chocolate-y cookie JUST for you, or making a whole batch that you give to your boyfriend, just because you're a sweetie.  I'll take the first option!

So, as many of you probably do not know....I LOVE PINTEREST.  Yes, Pinterest.com.  The addicting website where you see millions of awesome things daily.  I put a link to my Pinterest profile in the "Understanding Eclectic Adventures" page above, but here you go for the people as lazy as me.   --> My Pinterest

I caught a glimpse of a giant chocolate cookie in my main feed one day, and I've been dreaming of it every night ever since then.  So today, I actually made myself bake.  (I hate baking.)  But who can go wrong with just one cookie.

Doesn't it look gorgeous???  Mine looked a little different...mainly because I only had mini morsels in the house :(  I would have totally gone for the bigger ones if I had the choice.  

I am purposely NOT going to post the recipe on here because I want you to go visit her website!  I love it already and I only found out about it last night! 

So, enjoy the link to the giant chocolate cookie recipe, as well as links (on her website) to other flavors of giant cookies!  

In case, the link doesn't work, her website is called sallysbakingaddiction.com.

Copy-Cat Starbucks Drink

So, I recently "stumbled" upon a copy-cat recipe for the bottled Starbucks drinks.  I didn't exactly "stumble"...it was on Pinterest...on my main feed.  But that isn't the point!

The point is, it is amazing.  I can't imagine life without it anymore.  

It tastes..

perfect..

smooth...

AMAZING....

DELICIOUS!!!!!

 I don't really know how to describe beside saying that, I will no longer (knock on wood) buy the bottled versions anymore.  This is probably WAY cheaper and if I'm craving it at home and don't want to get out my comfy sweats, I can make it right then!  

It's like fate.  I think I am supposed to marry this recipe.  I mean if there are signs...right?
