Marc Jacob's Daisy

I was lucky enough to try out the Marc Jacob's Daisy perfume at a party with my friends. OH MY! We are all seriousely craving springtime and this party put us in the PERFECT mood for spring!

With a bold floral scent and beautiful grapefruit and vanilla undertones, this perfume is our favorite Marc Jacob's scent so far!

 Natalie loved the Eau so Fresh by Marc Jacob's Daisy. It was my favorite scent as well. Here she is showing off her Daisy Chain bracelet... we'll get to that, later!

 The appetizers included mini cheeseburger pies arranged in a Daisy array. I made them fresh right before so they were extra delicious!

 We played several games centered around the flowers. My friends Kriste and Lenore were the winners and each won a small bottle of perfume!  Here they are showing off the fantastic Daisy product! They thought the vanilla scents were perfect for a perfume with Daisy overtones and said the scent was very fresh and "freeing."

 OK, the story with the Daisy Chains. Marc Jacob's and Crowdtap sent me a kick with bracelet making supplies to make daisy chain bracelets. Before the party, I decided to make one as an example. Being a teacher, this is just something I do. Well, it's a good thing I did. The little metal circles for the end of the bracelet had holes in them, so they kept slipping off the finished bracelet. That caused all the little beads to fall off. My husband soldered them, but then the soldered metal broke the bracelet thread. It was a bit of a mess. The end result was me tying two broken bracelets together. Most of the lobster claw clasps didn't work as well- eeek! My sister made one with me, but that was all. It was too much work and MUCH frustration to make them at the party.

 Our spread was delicious! Everyone brought a daisy-themed appetizer or dessert and we had a great open bar! So much excitement! After the movie, we watched "The Perks of Being a Wallflower." It was a great time with lots of food, fun, games, and so many delicious perfumes!

Instead of the bracelets, I collected together some of my old candlesticks and bought birds houses from Michael's and we each created a stand for them!

Movie Screenings

Something I've recently discovered, and John and others have enjoyed with me, are movie screenings. They're when a company wants to get buzz about their movie out prior to the release date, so they hold screenings in certain cities and theaters. Well, it's totally free (sometimes you get free concessions, too) and you get to see the movie before everyone else (but who cares about that, I said free, right??)

My first one was in the spring through Crowdtap.com, a social media survey/brand sites. However, the sites that most big-name movie screenings go through is Gofobo.com. I have fallen in love with this site and have already seen a good handful of movies, just after 2 weeks! I've seen Trouble with the Curve and Won't Back Down and will soon see Hotel Transylvania, The Perks of Being a Wallflower, End of Watch, and Chasing Mavericks (from Nickelodeon.) So check out Gofobo or let me know if you want to see Hotel T (I have 2 passes left) on Sept. 22 at 11am in Royal Oak.

Update: Again, you can't go wrong with a free date night :) Many of the Movies shown are in 3D and we've been suprised with a few Imax ones as well. My most favorite find so far? Seeing The Hobbit a week before it came out. Seriously, take a few minutes to poke around the site!
