movies – Uptown Moxie

How is 2014 treating you so far?! Today is my third (fourth?) day feeling like total crap PLUS I woke up this morning without being able to turn my neck to the left. Two seasons of Girls and an order of banana pancakes later, I’m still missing the full range of motion my neck once provided, but I guess I’m not dead yet (thanks, Advil!). Anyways, here’s what my half-mobile self was able to summon on the inter-webs for this week’s installment of Lists, Loves and Links!

Here’s a fun insider’s take on the life of being a Hollywood extra.
New Netflix movies for those of you that are still on “winter break” or are sickly withering away in bed, like myself.
The best and worst words of 2013. Awesome.
This isn’t a killer article, but the fact that Mindy Lahiri is on Tinder kills me.
And, because I will always and forever be a retail rat, here’s some interesting info on how the Nordstrom Rack business is owning Nordstrom full-line stores.
13 Women who Rocked it in 2013. Inspiring women for the win!

Happy Thursday evening! How was your week? It’ s been a busy/sick few days in a row for me. I’m finally starting to feel like a human again…just in time for my “holiday break,” thank goodness. Without further ado, here’s some of my favorite finds from the world wide web this week.

You Are Beautiful. 7th graders spreading awareness about eating disorders, who’s cooler than you?
The Inner Monologue of Shopping at Target — hits the nail on the head.
The Best TV Episodes of the Year. LOVE this. My personal two favorites are “Ozymandias” for drama and “You’ve Got Sext” for comedy!
And then there’s The Best Movies of the Year. I’ve seen zero — anyone surprised?
The Real Reason Twentysomething Women Are Worried is kind of everything.

What am I reading?

Uptown Moxie (formerly known as Little Girl and the Big Apple) began as a way to document my crazy adventures when I moved to NYC as a young college graduate freshly plucked from an Ohio cornfield.

These days, I reside in Chicago and write when I can (which is never as much as I’d like). I utilize this as a place to tell stories, write about my passions, and share photos of whatever I capture when I have my camera on me (which is also never as much as I’d like). In the past five years, everything has changed and nothing has changed.

And because I sense your curiosity through the screen – it's called Uptown Moxie because Christie Brinkley is my alter ego and while I’ve seen Lost in Yonkers exactly once (and coincidentally have been lost in Yonkers exactly once), it left a lasting impression.
