I know it’s late. I had a crazy day. And there are a couple more crazy days ahead. That’s okay, though. Crazy days mean you are doing something. No one calls a day spent on the couch binge watching Park & Recreation “crazy.” A day is only crazy when you’ve done a lot of things. Personally, I’d take a crazy day any day.
But seeing that it is late. Late on the night of November 21st…I thought it would only be appropriate to talk about what happens at midnight tonight. The Catching Fire movie premiere!!
Guilty, I’m a big time Hunger Games fan. Okay, I’m a fan of a lot of teen-ish fiction. I like stories that aren’t too deep. I like stories that I can’t put down, with easy words, and plots that aren’t 100% realistic. And, since they are for teenagers, usually they aren’t full of sex or misguided “ideals” of marriage. Those are hot buttons for me. I love good, Godly marriages and I’ll defend them to the death. To the death I say.
Okay, I’m done ranting.
Anyway. Hunger Games, tonight! Awesome. So I thought we’d spend some time drooling over some HG inspired things buzzing right now.
Let’s start here. Cover Girl has a “Capitol Beauty Studio” line out. The site is awesome. Every district has a specific look based on their industry. Every look is broken down so you can recreate it at home…it even includes a way to tone down the look into something you can wear outside the Capitol.
On the craftier side of things, let’s revisit my old blog for a little mocking jay action. When the first movie released I had a crafting party with a couple friends. I still love my mocking jay pin and head band. Oh, and check out my red hair…Click over for my HG’s crafts.
Now food. Of all the Hunger Games food in the world, I think I love these cupcakes from Erica’s Sweet Tooth most of all. I like them because they are doable. No making a frosting mocking jay here. That’s got fail written all over it. You should go to her site, it’s got adorable all over the place.
What’s a Hunger Games post without plugging the best part of this franchise? Jennifer Lawrence! I have a major girl crush on her. She’s so awkward, so talented, so real. I love a good awkward girl. And this one takes the cake. Here is a gallery of Awkward JL photos.
But let’s be honest. The downside of the Catching Fire premiere is that it will only last a couple hours. Then it’s back to waiting. Oh, what to do, what to do in the mean time. I’d say, you should find a new book to love. My I kindly recommend one of these?
Divergent {series of three books}. The Maze Runner {again, series of three…looove this one!!} Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children.
Or, if you want something more adult for a change, you should read Unbroken. It’s a true story, and it’s amazing. I’m 150 pages in and it’s just blowing my mind.
