Scones

Soooo today was a lazy day..laid out in the sun for awhile (with sunscreen of course),cleaned, and made some yummy blueberry scones!

I used to have a fail-proof recipe for them, but i've lost it! So i wet searching on the internet and found one from Southern Living!

Ingredients:

-2 cups of flour
-1/3 cup sugar
-1 tablespoon baking powder
-1/2 tsp salt
-1/2 cup of butter
-1 cup of whipping cream (i substituted this with milk)
-fruit of choice (i used blueberries)

Preparation

1. 1. Preheat oven to 450°. Stir together first 4 ingredients in a large bowl. Cut butter into flour mixture with a pastry blender until crumbly and mixture resembles small peas. Freeze 5 minutes. Add 3/4 cup plus 2 Tbsp. cream (or milk), stirring just until dry ingredients are moistened.
2. 2. Turn dough out onto wax paper; gently press or pat dough into a 7-inch round (mixture will be crumbly). Cut round into 8 wedges. Place wedges 2 inches apart on a lightly greased baking sheet. Brush tops of wedges with remaining 2 Tbsp. cream just until moistened.
3. 3. Bake at 450° for 13 to 15 minutes or until golden.

These scones were so easy and yummy! It may even be better than my old recipe!

Marion Cotillard

O.k..so i have a confession to make...

I have a little crush on Marion Cotillard.

I first saw her in the movie Inception, and she was absolutely stunning. However, after seeing her in Contagion, i realized one thing.

I want to be her.

Her hair was super cute in this movie, her style, her cute little accent, everything. She so reminded me of Audrey Hepburn in this movie..and i absolutely adore Audrey.

 Too bad my hair could never look like this. My hair is WAAYY too out of control and wavy.

Unfortunatly, these are the only 2 movies i've seen her in. I'll have to watch more!

Other than enhancing my love for Marion, Contagion was pretty good. I have always loved Kate Winslet and Matt Damon, and they delivered as always.And oh my goodness Gweneth Paltrow looked positively HEINOUS in this movie! I couldn't get over how horrible she looked! Granted, she is infected and dying, but still...

It was a good movie all in all, but i feel like hollywood makes way too many of these movies. There have to be other things to make a movie out of besides infectious diseases that turn people into zombie-hell creatures, or kill everyone.

Anyway..I'm off to find more Marion movies to watch!

Welcome!!

Okay,so i'm going to start off my saying that this blogging thing is totally out of my comfort zone. I am kinda shy..and besides i don't think my writing is that great. However, i am going to make the best of this blog since i am in no way shape or form a quitter!

A little about the blog..I think i want to focus mainly on reviewing things. Movies,books,products,places,etc. This focus may change, but that's what it is as of now. I love to share my opinions on things! Also i will probably be posting some interesting things like recipes or DIY stuff, as well as some "life" posts, which basically means little glimpses in my life. I'm a fairly private person, but i want to share some experiences/day to day life on here. Go easy on me, this is completely new to me! My only experience is reading blogs..haha. My first goal is to actually get some people to read this! So feel free to introduce yourself to me, give me pointers, etc. I want this to be successful!

So hi! Nice to meet you. My name is Aubrey! :)

BTW, Don't you love that you can see my bathtub in my profile pic? I'm definitely going to be changing that..
