EdenFantasys Highlight 2/25

How do you relax and unwind after a long day?  I love taking advantage of the big jaccuzzi tub in our new master bathroom.  I light a few candles, run a hot bubble bath, grab a good book....and I could soak for hours if only the water would stay hot for that long. 

Last night, was just one of those nights where a nice long soak in the tub was needed.  It was overdue, actually.  Yesterday wasn't so much of a bad day or anything, it's just been a long couple of weeks for me and I had been wanting to spend a little quality time a good book in the tub.  So after the kiddos went to bed, and I spent a little time with the husband, I retreated to the bathroom.

I used a couple products that you can actually find at EdenFantasys!  They have an amazing selection of bath and body products (not just sex toys like so many think!).  I lit a Romantic Candle, in a yummy French Vanilla scent.  I wanted the lights dim, but to still be able to see enough to read so I lit a few Glade candles as well. 

I added a little bubble bath to the water...I had some on hand already that EdenFantasys does not carry, but I have been wanting to try the Cake brand's Milk Maid, and Kama Sutras body wash and shower gel looks really nice as well.

The Secret World of Arrietty, in Theaters TODAY!



Cast Members: Amy Poehler, Bridgit Mendler and Carol Burnett in Los Angeles to promote the film.

The Secret World of Arrietty is in theaters today (Friday, the 17th), I'm SO excited to see this movie!  I lovvvved the book "The Borrowers" when I was younger. 

If you're planning to go see the movie soon, don't forget that you can print and enjoy these coloring pages!

Residing quietly beneath the floorboards are little people who live undetected in a secret world to be discovered, where the smallest may stand tallest of all. From the legendary Studio Ghibli (“Spirited Away,” “Ponyo”) comes “The Secret World of Arrietty,” an animated adventure based on Mary Norton’s acclaimed children’s book series “The Borrowers.”

Arrietty (voice of Bridgit Mendler), a tiny, but tenacious 14-year-old, lives with her parents (voices of Will Arnett and Amy Poehler) in the recesses of a suburban garden home, unbeknownst to the homeowner and her housekeeper (voice of Carol Burnett). Like all little people, Arrietty (AIR-ee-ett-ee) remains hidden from view, except during occasional covert ventures beyond the floorboards to “borrow” scrap supplies like sugar cubes from her human hosts. But when 12-year-old Shawn (voice of David Henrie), a human boy who comes to stay in the home, discovers his mysterious housemate one evening, a secret friendship blossoms. If discovered, their relationship could drive Arrietty’s family from the home and straight into danger. The English language version of “The Secret World of Arrietty” was executive produced by Kathleen Kennedy and Frank Marshall, and directed by Gary Rydstrom. The film hits theaters Feb. 17, 2012.
