Oscar fever!!!

Yesterday was the perfect day to be sick on the couch! I watched every last second of red carpet leading up to the big show and made it through almost the whole show!  If we're being honest, the only nominated movie I saw was Frozen (2x)...I'm a mommy the only movies I see are with my kids.  When I go out with my husband we like to talk, we never go to the movies, literally the last one we saw was probably 10 years ago.

I'm pretty sure every one who knows anything about movies or fashion was waiting to see what newcomer Lupita Nyong'o was wearing (do I need to even put her last name?!) I myself have fallen in love with Lupita over the course of this awards season... She glammed in gucci, looked lovely in Lauren but I think the Prada number she wore last night stole my heart... it was so her (it was made for her which didn't hurt!) and her heartfelt HONEST, kind appreciative words in her speech secured her spot as a household name for years!!!!  She is such a talent.. and now has the "Oscar award winning" in front of her name!!! If you live under a rock and haven't seen her dress last night here ya go...

Ok now that I got that out of the way, something has been majorly bothering me... I was a huge facebooker forever, stopped cold turkey about 6 months ago (only have business page now). I find myself with so much  more time on my hands and a new love of Instagram.  Seems much less "dramatic" for lack of a better word!  I will confess I follow some interesting people on Instagram.  Three of which are the Kardashians.  I don't faithfully watch the show, unless I'm sick on my couch like yesterday!  I feel like I got my fix for a while prior to the awards!  My point?  On Instagram they have MILLIONS of followers... its insane. I follow people I'm interested in seeing/reading about... doesn't that make sense? Isn't that what people do??? Apparently not... I was reading some of the comments that people write on their pictures and I was mortified... I get it "they ask for it" putting themselves in the public eye.  I see that side of it, but does that make it ok to insult someone publicly? Someones daughter, sister, mother, aunt, friend, wife?  I've had 41 solid years on this earth and have been on both the receiving and giving end of it and have learned my lesson.  A button clicked when I became a mother and I try to put my best foot forward daily... I'm human and of course there are people that I struggle with in life but to publicly call them fat, or ugly? (and those are some of the nicer things I read)

Its just not nice and where I come from, If you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything at all.... 

Be nice.... life is short.  Come back and see me soon! xo
