Entertainment News: Water For Elephants

I loved the book, Water For Elephants, and cannot wait to see the movie ~ In theaters April 22nd. Starring Reese Witherspoon and Robert Pattison and Christoph Waltz, it's sure to entertain.
Based on the acclaimed bestseller, WATER FOR ELEPHANTS presents an unexpected romance in a uniquely compelling setting. Veterinary school student Jacob meets and falls in love with Marlena, a star performer in a circus of a bygone era. They discover beauty amidst the world of the Big Top, and come together through their compassion for a special elephant. Against all odds -- including the wrath of Marlena's charismatic but dangerous husband, August -- Jacob and Marlena find lifelong love.

Bright Finds: Bossypants

Are you looking for a good book to read this weekend?
I Love Tina Fey's new book, Bossypants
Bossypants is short, messy, and impossibly funny (an apt description of the comedian herself). From her humble roots growing up in Pennsylvania to her days doing amateur improv in Chicago to her early sketches on Saturday Night Live, Fey gives us a fascinating glimpse behind the curtain of modern comedy with equal doses of wit, candor, and self-deprecation. --Kevin Nguyen

Healthy Living: Chicken Enchiladas

My daughter Catherine had to prepare a meal from beginning to end for her Spanish class. We ate her Chicken Enchiladas from Simply Mexican by Lourdes Castro last night. I think it was the best meal we have ever had in this household. If you love chicken and tomatillo sauce - you will love this dish!

Parisian Chic

Speaking of Paris, I wish I had Parisian Chic before my last trip to Paris.  Ines de la Fressange's guide to style and the city of lights is packed full of insider tips on what to wear, where to shop, places to eat, and hotels in which to stay.  I was a little disappointed to find that the book does not contain the side by side photos of Inez and her daughter Nine d'Urso.  They were published in French Elle and are très chic!  I've included them for you.  Enjoy!
