So what do you do when the love of your life leaves you for another guy? That's the situation that Spencer lands himself in when he learns his girlfriend leaves him in the new film Mantervention. We were contacted by Izea to watch and review the movie as well as host a giveaway. And who are we turn down a good film?

I received this book for promotional purposes from Random House. All opinions are mine.


We were given an advanced copy of Amy Bloom's Lucky Us thanks to 20 something bloggers and Random House. I was getting really excited to read this book, since I had seen featured in a magazine I love. Plus, i haven't read a periodical fiction story in a while. 

Entertainment Hosh Posh. That was the name of our first blog. We had planned to write about everything -sports, music, and whatever else we wanted. It was only a temporary name that we quickly changed, then decided to name it after ourselves. The SLS blog- which was supposed to stand for our initials- The Shannah, LaTara, and S- blog, but S-  had to let blogging go because school work was getting hectic. So Shannah and I decided to keep the url name and try to work out what The SLS was supposed to mean. The Sexy Ladies Series? No. The Sweet Leading Singles. Nope. The Swingers' Lifestyle. Taken. Kidding, even though this actually exists!

Instead of just posting YouTube videos or talking about pop stars all the time, we got more comfortable with you. We started writing about our goals, our interests, our hopes, dreams, and relationships. We gave our advice on getting through crazy roommates, long distance relationships, and more. We're still getting the hang of this, but we're happy that you've been here along the way with us. We've made some great people thanks to our blog and are still meeting awesome people all the time. So today we want to celebrate our growth. We've made it to three years and hope that we can claim many more!


Since today is so special (especially since school is OVER!!!!) we teamed up with some amazing ladies of the Southern Girl Blogging Community to put together a giveaway to celebrate our 3 year anniversary! Check it out!

Thank you all for stopping by and we wish you all good luck!!

The giveaway winners are Christy D. And Tiffany W.! Congratulations ladies on your win!

I was recently sent a copy of the film It's Not You, It's Me by Nathan Ives to promote his film. I was not paid for this post and this is my honest opinion on the film.

Earlier this month I received a copy of the film It's Not You It's Me for review purposes from director and screenwriter Nathan Ives. I honestly wanted to see the film because Vivica Fox was a part of the project and wanted to know what a "A Serious Relationship Comedy" was supposed to be about. SO before I get into the review, here's a short summary of the film.

Serial commitment-phobe, Dave (Ross McCall), is reeling from his decision to break up with his near perfect, now ex-girlfriend. As he tries to forget her, his battling inner voices come to life and cloud his

* I received a $15 Walgreens giftcard to prchase Aveeno products for this post. However, all opinions are mine*
I was chosen to review some Aveeno products through the Her Campus Blogger Network. Self magazine sent me a $15 Walgreen's gift card to purchase a couple of Aveeno products.   I spent a good thirty minutes trying to figure out what I wanted, before deciding on getting Aveeno's Clear Complexion Foaming Cleanser and their Daily Moisturizing Lotion.

With these low temperatures, it's still important to take care of your skin and give it lots of love and moisture.  I grabbed this tube because it was small enough to carry in my purse for instant moisture wherever I go. I liked that there is no fragrance to this lotion, and I feel as if it gave me real moisture, unlike other perfumed lotions I've bought in the past.  It's light, went on smoothly, and didn't require much rubbing to absorb into my skin. Now I'm just regretting that I didn't grab a bigger size since I like this one so much.
