Dear Universe, I love movies. I love watching them in the theater or in the comfort of my home, in sweats, under blankets. I like watching new films, foreign films, indie films, classic films and just favorite ones that never get old. I like when friends recommend movies for me too. (In fact, recently I was on a mission to …
Regent’s Park

Remember Ring
Dear Universe, As you know, I am a fan of jewelry that carries a deeper meaning. That’s why when my mom gave me this ring as a gift, I immediately loved it.

More Freebies!
Dear Universe, Yesterday I did some cleaning up around the house. I did the normal weekly stuff like laundry, vacuuming, sorting through the mail… And that’s when I remembered!

I love sending cards and giving treats to loved ones, especially as a surprise. I love letting them know how special they are to me. Yesterday I found out that this …
