Don’t Read Posts On Weddings (Except This One)

March 25, 2013 in Marriage, People, Relationships, Self, Wedding

As you all know, I got engaged recently. Even though many people expect me to be like Monica from “Friends” with a massive binder filled with every wedding idea I have ever had, I’m not. Surprised? You aren’t alone. I am enjoying filling the amazing wedding binder I bought from kikki k and the “wedding notes” book my lovely sister gave me. You see, while I haven’t planned everything already in my head, I have waited my whole life to plan a wedding. This may be less impressive to some given the fact that I am only 22, but I [...]

This Week: Monique Gets Engaged

March 9, 2013 in Self, Stories

This week has been a bit of a blur for me. Why? Because I GOT ENGAGED LAST SATURDAY! Yes, that required CAPS. I need to convey to you just how excited I really am about this. You can check out my week in pics, mostly revolving around wedding things (my bad). Photos from top left then clockwise: The scene of the proposal, me and my fiancé (how exciting is that!!), a happy engagement gift from a good friend of mine, the gorgeous ring, the florist on my desk (flowers from the proposal and from one of my best friends) and [...]

Monique’s Top Ten Celeb Wrap Up 2012

December 14, 2012 in Celebrity, Entertainment, Film & TV, Music

As 2012 is drawing to a close, I thought I would lead you on a trip down memory lane of the top ten biggest stories in Hollywood this year. As I’ve only been limited to ten, there are many I have had to leave out (such as Disney buying Star Wars which, lets face it, was HUGE). It’s been absolutely fantastic sharing these Friday afternoons with you all and I hope you have enjoyed them as much as I have. Due to technical difficulties, I haven’t been able to do a top 5 for the week, but I do have [...]

In The Flesh & Monique’s Celeb Top 5

August 24, 2012 in Celebrity, Dating, Entertainment, Health, Mental Health, Relationships, Wedding

Happy Friday Everyone! Hope you’ve all had an absolutely lovely week and have an even better weekend planned, I know I do. This past week in Hollywood has been full of surprises with a couple I didn’t even know were dating (that’s right, I did not know) announcing their engagement, a comedian self-medicating a heart attack, a shocking death, a singing sweetheart breaking the cardinal rule of NOT attending weddings you weren’t invited to and the biggest shock, OK, maybe not shock, but the biggest scandal of them all: we all got to see Prince Harry in his birthday suit… [...]

The Most Ironic Cover & Monique’s Celeb Top 5

August 17, 2012 in Celebrity, Entertainment, Film & TV

Hello my lovely readers and welcome to another edition of Monique’s Celeb Top 5. Luckily I have been on the mend so the lovely T hasn’t needed to intervene this time, but didn’t she do a great job in helping me out last week! Thanks T! It’s been a busy week as per usual in Hollywood and I was so excited about one of the top five stories, that I’ve already spoken about it this week. One of the most interesting stories this week (for me anyway) has been surrounding hair. But to start us off, I have some lovely [...]

Can We Please Let Jen Be Happy Now?

August 13, 2012 in Celebrity, Dating, Entertainment, Marriage, News, Relationships

Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux are engaged! So is it time to let Jen be happy and stop harping on about Brad Pitt? You can’t always believe everything you read when it comes to Hollywood gossip, otherwise Jennifer Aniston would either have a million children or would have broken the world record for longest (and least noticeable) pregnancy in the history of the universe. I generally treat any celeb news story with a grain of salt unless reps have confirmed or the celebrity themselves have announced it on their website/blog/social media platform. I am very excited to say that Jennifer [...]

Once A Cheater, Always A Cheater… Right?

August 1, 2012 in Anecdotes, Celebrity, Dating, Entertainment, Film & TV, Marriage, Relationships, Sex, Stories

So Kristen Stewart cheated on Robert Pattinson – I know, my jaw dropped when I found out. For a woman who often appears so sullen in her interaction with the media, I have read interviews where ‘R-Patz’ has defended her ‘shy’ behavior and it would appear he is nothing short of a gentleman when discussing her or making appearances with her. Not only did Kristen cheat, but she cheated with a married father (who is equally complicit). Kristen was busted when photos that were undeniable in their authenticity and physical interaction surfaced. She took to twitter almost immediately, making the [...]

Rituals: Who Will Say Grace For Atheists?

July 2, 2012 in People, Religion, Self, Society

I was at lunch the other day with a number of friends. A couple religious, a couple not. As our food arrived and we went to eat there was a moment, a pause, an awkward silence as the religious wondered if they should say grace, and everyone was waiting for a cue to eat. Finally, someone spoke. “Bon appetit” they said and, relieved, we all tucked in. Husband later commented “We should have a non-religious version of grace” and it got me thinking about rituals. Within our lives, there are many rituals. There are personal rituals, such as the order [...]
