Balance

I'm not usually one for New Years resolutions.
But there is a first time for everything.
For this New Year, I will search for balance.

Always remember with every challenge you endure there is happiness on the other side just like rainbows after a long rainfall.

The Secret Circle Season 1 "Pilot" Recap

THE SECRET CIRCLE  "Pilot"  Pictured (L-R): Thomas Dekker as Adam and Britt Robertson as Cassie.  © 2011 The CW Network, LLC. All rights reserved.
The much anticipated Secret Circle premiered Thursday night and it started off with a bang... literally.  Too soon?  We meet the main character, Cassie in a somewhat awkward scene of her dancing to some music in her car which luckily stops when she gets a flat tire. 

A mysterious man (who we later learn is little miss goody two shoes, Diana's father) proceeds to magically set Cassie's house on fire with her mother still inside. So begins Cassie's life in Chance Harbor, which doesn't start off so well either.  Her car is set on fire with her trapped inside by the "resident bad girl"; Faye, so she could test Cassie's powers.  This seems especially cruel to me considering Cassie's mother was just killed in a fire but oh well!  In swoops Adam to save the day... PROBLEM!  Adam already has a girlfriend, the aforementioned Diana.  A well established love triangle in the first episode? Nicely played CW.

All rights reserved.Cassie is lost and confused and Diana finally leads her to a creepy old abandoned house where the cast bombards her with the news that she's a witch.  But not only that, she is the last piece to completing their "secret circle."  Cassie of course freaks out and runs off into the woods which sets up for one of the most beautiful scenes I have ever seen.  Adam catches up to her and decides to prove it to Cassie (why didn't they just do that to begin with?)  They make magic together and all the droplets of water begin to float. 

In the end Cassie finds an old journal hidden in her Mom's old room with a letter inside from her mother.  In essence the later stated that bad people will be after Cassie and she should look out.  So who are the bad people?

From what I got from this episode, I don't think anyone in the circle is out and out evil.  Faye seems power hungry and a bit snobbish but not sure if she is evil.  Faye's mom and Diana's father on the other hand are definitely evil and seem to have brought Cassie to Chance Harbor for a reason.  Cassie's grandmother seems worried about the "children" starting up the circle.  Last time it ended in the death of Cassie's father and some others.  According to Adam's father, Cassie's mom wasn't meant for her father, but rather for him.  I am guessing this means Cassie's mother was good but her father wasn't?  I'm not sure, we will find out soon enough though.

My thoughts... I'm actually more impressed then I thought I would be.  I was a little leary at first because I wasn't super found of Britt Robertson (Cassie) when she was in Life Unexpected but so far so good in this one.  I am still slightly dissapointed in the guy selection, but I seem to be the only one.  So I guess I will suffer in silence and get my fix from Ian Somerhalder in Vampire Diaries beforehand.   Thumbs up for now!

New 24oz Acrylic Tumbler

Left: Original 16oz Tumbler- $12   Right: New 24oz Tumbler- $18


I am extremely excited to announce my new 24oz tumbler which is $18.  I have been on the hunt the last few months trying to find a larger size tumbler and I am so happy that I finally have.  If you are like me, you like to have a large drink by your side at all times.  One that doesn't have to be refilled often and the new 24oz size is perfect for that.

The 24oz size can be decorated just the same as the original 16oz.  It is also BPA free like the 16oz and should be hand washed. 

If you have ordered a cup from me in the last few days and would like to change to this new bigger size, please contact me as soon as possible and I will be happy to change your order for you.

I'd love to hear your feedback and if you are excited about this new size or if you prefer the original 16oz. 

Just to clarify, I am not discontinuing the 16oz tumblers.  I am now just offering the 24oz as an option as well.
