2 new loves

During our trip to Maui I came across two things that I now love dearly... Sanuks and Donovan Frankenreiter.

We spent almost every night at Donovan Frankenreiters bar right down the street from our hotel.  I'm not gonna lie... we spent almost every night there and I had never ever heard of Donovan Frankenreiter.  Come to learn he is good friends with Jack Johnson (my second husband) and he is a singer/songwriter/pro-surfer who lives in Hawaii.  Who would have known?!?!

The last day of the trip we headed to the Sanuk store in Old Lahaina Town.  A few of our friends, guys and girls, had purchased some when they were in Oahu before meeting us in Maui.  They were really cute, and looked super comfy.  One quick stop at the Sanuk store on our way to the airport and my life is forever changed.  Okay... that may be a bit of an exaggeration, but these are honestly the most comfortable shoes ever.  Maybe that is because the bottom is made of a yoga mat?!  Both Dustin and I bought a pair, and haven't taken them off since.  On the left is a link to they style that I purchased (and am wearing right at this moment).  Your feet will thank you... I promise!! 

Just to make it all a little sweeter, I learned that Donovan Frankenreiter is an official Sanuk spokesman.  Who would have known that two great things would join forces and become a shoe industry superhero  ;o)

Top 10 Chick Flicks

I loved looking at the Top 10 Chick Flick list on the Le Belle Vie blog for Valentines day!! In fact... I enjoyed it so much that I had to create my own list. Boy of boy, this was not an easy task! I am a sucker for chick flicks, and my list of favorites is quite long. Narrowing it down to 10 was not easy. These are in no particular order, just a list of my top 10. Enjoy!!

1. You've Got Mail - It doesn't get much better than having Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan together in a movie. Their chemistry is so cute, and the fact that they can't stand each other in real life but are in love with each other over the internet is fun to watch. Not to mention, almost any love story in NYC will have me sucked in within a matter of minutes.


2. Beaches - This is one of my favorite "go-to" movies when I am feeling really emotional and just need to have a little cry-fest. It's a beautiful movie of friendship and loyalty (not to mention there are a TON of Bette Midler songs.)


3. Love Actually - Love actually IS all around!! Disclaimer: I am not at all in support of people falling in love with their friends wives. Actually, I am quite against it. But the picture below from this movie was one of my favorite parts. What girls doesn't dream of a guy saying "To Me, You Are Perfect"


4. Grease - No explanation needed. Absolutely classic!!


5. Dirty Dancing - "Nobody puts Baby in a corner". The dancing... the songs... Patrick Swayze **sigh**


6. Gidget - This movie has been one of my all time favorites for as long as I can remember. And is probably in fact the reason that I am so intrigued with surfing and living on (or near) the beach sometime in my life. Coincidence that the man I married looks a little like Moondoggie... I think not =)


7. The Wedding Date - I'm not sure what it is about this movie that I love. The fact that she is so desperate to impress her ex (because be honest, we have all been there at one point in time or another), or maybe its just Dermot Mulroney.


8. The Notebook - This is by far one of the sweetest love stories ever. Its every girls dream to be pursued with such passion, and to be absolutely captivated by THE ONE. Doesn't hurt that Rachel McAdams and Ryan Gosling are an awesome couple on screen together.


9. Serendipity - Leave it all up to fate. Its a movie of will they or won't they find each other. AND... it takes place in NYC. **sigh** NYC=Romance♥


10. Gone With the Wind - Anyone who knows me, knows that this is by far my most favorite movie ever. It is the most incredible movie of an independent woman who goes out and gets what she wants. And Clark Gable is just a little dreamy (I don't care if he's been dead for 50 years and was old enough to be my great grandfather).


Whats in your top 10?
