Hangover 2

After the first hilarious Hangover movie I was excited to see the next in the franchise - The Hangover 2.


Lucky enough to be invited to attend an exclusive screening held by Budweiser NI at Moviehouse Cinemas my sister and I went along to see what it was all about!

The movie follows the same formula as the first one. The group travels to Thailand to celebrate Stu's upcoming wedding. You just know they are going to lose someone!
Yup........after a drunken night the boys wake up in a hotel room only problem being they have lost the brides younger brother! Over the remainder of the movie they are trying to unravel the exploits of the previous night with vague recollection and various clues with hilarious consequences.

I enjoyed the movie despite not having the originality that made the first movie a hit, it still made me laugh!

So it comes full circle....

Our baby chicks which hatched in the incubator in this post are now all grown up and have begun laying their own eggs.

One of the hens - Blackbird has become broody, she wants to sit on her eggs and is reluctant to leave the nest box. Rather than persuade her to become 'unbroody' we have decided to let her sit. We got a few eggs from mum and have popped them under her.

Now we just have to wait and see......

Appletiser Speed Style

My sister and I attended this event held at The Apartment, Belfast in association with Smirnoff Vodka & The Style Academy and hosted by Citybeat DJ Stephen Clements.

It is the first time an event of this sort has been held in Northern Ireland so it was very exciting and the atmosphere was fabulous. On arrival we were treated to a Smirnoff Vodka Green apple or Lime cocktail and divided into 2 groups (Upstairs/Downstairs)
Cheers!
We started upstairs and were told our body shape and then guided through the current fashions which would flatter our shape, whether we were 'apple', 'hour glass' or 'pear' - I'm a 'pear' btw.

Downstairs the concept was based on speed dating meaning each person had 5 minutes with various stylists - hair, make up and fashion.

The evening was fun and informative, it gave me lots of ideas although it would have been nice to have a little longer with the stylists!
