I (Jeni) absolutely love Peter Pan. It’s probably because I’m a big kid at heart and always connected with that trait of the Lost Boys and Peter himself.  So there’s a new movie coming soon (just started production) called, “The Lost Girls.” It basically takes Peter Pan and makes him a villain who kidnaps and other bad things. 🙁  It’ll be from the point of the girls of the Darling family.  It’s based off a book of the same title from 2004 – so this isn’t a brand new concept.

According to the original text, Peter takes Wendy to Neverland to be his “mother.” After she’s returned home, he makes her promise not to grow up, though of course she does. When he returns years later to the Darling home, he’s upset that Wendy’s an adult, so he takes Wendy’s young daughter with him to be his new mother.

I’m not sure I’m gonna like this new twist…however, it’s just a fun way to reinvent the characters, so I’ll probably be open to watching!

What do you think – Is Peter Pan a villain or savior?

My (Sarah) favorite candy bar is a KitKat. It’s simple, crunchy and delicious. I heard about this news and got really  excited… until I learned that it’s only in the UK.  Still – I needed to share so you guys can be  jealous just like I am!

Nestlé is starting “bespoke and handmade” KitKat bars in up to 1,500 flavor combinations!!  WHAT?!  They  will come in milk, dark, white or ruby chocolate – and be “luxury” bars.  Customers (UK customers, of course) can add u p to three ingredients like meringue, toasted coconut, rose petals, popping candy, dried raspberry, honeycomb and  more to their bars.

The bars will cost 14 pounds (about $17 dollars) and only available to the UK customers in November on the new Nestlé website.  Can I pout now??

See more HERE.

What would be in your perfect KitKat?

This is THE BEST deep hair conditioner I (Jeni) have ever owned.  I saw the crazy awesome reviews and 4.3/5 star rating from over 540 reviewers – so I had to try it.  IT IS AMAZING!  And the best part? It’s only $7.50!!

These Retro Witch Tees are so stinking cute-  and just $14.99 each! There are 3 styles and sizes run XS – XXL!

CALLING ALL CAT LOVERS!!!  Your cat can score himself or herself a Haunted House!  Yep, Target has this adorable Haunted House for your cat, and it’s too stinking cute! It’s basically just cardboard – which we all know cats LOVE 🙂

Do you put costumes on your pets for Halloween?

This is a great feel-good story! Mandy Pursley is an amputee, who took her physical difference and made it magical!  She created a photoshoot, staring as Cinderella with her husband (isn’t the cute!?) to help people realize their differences are beautiful. She even put on a glass arm! See the pictures HERE.

What differences do you have that you celebrate?

If you have an AMC theatre near you, you’re in luck!  Now, for a limited time in theatres, you can score a Spooky Black Cherry ICEE – and yah, it’s BLACK!!  It’s supposed to be out to celebrate the new Addams Family movie, but I (Sarah) think they should  keep it all season!

What new movies are you looking forward to seeing?

Here’s yet another  awesome and fun product for cat fanatics!  These Cat Chair Socks are too funny and seriously adorable…but functional, too!  They come in several colors and styles, and fit over the legs of your chairs, to help them from scratching up the floor!

Are you a crazy cat lady?

Ok, this is silly … but TOO CUTE!  I (Jeni) just bought myself some Gnome Crayons!!  They are so stinking cute, I can’t stand it.  Plus, the reviews are really awesome! Might be silly, but they m are me smile, for sure!

What silly items have you bought for yourself lately?

Have you ever had Greek Baked Ziti?  When I (Jeni) first saw it, I wondered what in the world was in it!  It’s supposed to be like a greek dish, pastitsio (never heard of it) but it’s basically a pasta casserole with ground beef and Italian flavors. YUM!

What’s your favorite pasta?

  1. I’d get that haunted house for my cat, but I bet they wouldn’t even use it, the brats. They prefer the floor.

    I will check out The Lost Girls but wow does that sound dark.

    • Jeni Hawkins Reply

      HAHAHAHAH!! I love it!
      It does, doesn’t it!?

  2. I can’t wait to try the deep conditioner you recommended. I just ordered it. My hair needs some serious help and you can’t beat that price!

  3. Sandy Klocinski Reply

    That deep conditioner looks awesome! Not sure that I care for “The Lost Girls” premise that Peter Pan is evil. Nothing ventured, nothing gained though so I might check it out

  4. Of COURSE, the bespoke KitKats are only available in the UK. 🙁 I’m not too upset because I’m not a big fan of floral in my sweets.

  5. I can not imagine a bad Peter Pan and I would not want to see one. Love those chair booties and they protect the floor. Pivot was so funny.

  6. I’m really interested in this version of Peter Pan. I think it sounds very intriguing! I think he may be a villain in this one! I saw that Hyde and EEK Boutique and one person came to mind automatically!

  7. I need to try that Cer-100 conditioner! It sounds like it could help my crazy mane.

  8. I really love those witch shirts. I need to get some of them for myself. I really love Halloween, so those would be great for me.

  9. Those Kit Kats look AMAZING! Why in the world wouldn’t they be here in the US, too?
    As far as the Peter Pan knock-off, I’m not sure I’d even want to see that. I love the original story.

  10. Those retro witch tees remind me of the Halloween candy wrappers from back in the day. In the TV show Once Upon a Time Peter Pan was a villian so I would be open to watching this new movie as well.

  11. Those Gnome Crayons are so cool! What a beautiful idea for a Christmas gift for kids!

  12. That baked ziti looks delicious, I so want to eat that! I have been looking for a new deep conditioner and that looks great! I also adore those vintage witch shirts!

  13. Sarah Hayes Reply

    Loving all these! The photoshoot Mandy did is wonderful. I love the creativity and acceptance in those pictures. Also, totally needed that cat house lol.

  14. When I did have a pet. I used to always dress him in Halloween costumes. He really loved it.

  15. oh I love all these, such fun post. I love how creative this is,

    • Jeni Hawkins Reply

      Thanks so much, Bella! Love that you joined us today!

  16. I can’t believe they are remaking Peter Pan. That Black slushie sounds intriguing as well.

    • Jeni Hawkins Reply

      Naw – not remaking, just a different twist on the movie!

  17. Gervin Khan Reply

    Peter Pan is one of my favorite movie to watch when I was a child and I am so excited to watch it again on the big screen. That hair conditioner looks really good and this recipe Greek Baked Ziti looks so delicious, it makes me hungry!

  18. Agnes Dela Cruz Reply

    Literally, morning coffee is the best! 🙂 A lot of childhood memories with Peter Pan.

  19. Mama Maggie's Kitchen Reply

    I really love the story of Peter Pan. It’s really heartwarming and touching! I am so excited to see the new one coming.

  20. My friend got one of those cat Halloween houses – they are so cute!

    I love KitKat – it will be fun to see when they are available.
