Livin' It Up... The Longest Ride... Grab Life By The Horns


My best friend Kelly reached out last night to get together for a girls' night. We both wanted to do something low key and decided on a movie. It was between Cinderella and The Longest Ride. Based on the trailer for The Longest Ride and not having read the book by Nicholas Sparks it looked to be a better version of 50 Shades of Grey (also one I haven't seen).

(SERIOUSLY!!! So effin' handsome!!!)

We were way off. It wasn't soft porn like we had thought. It was a story of romance told in flashbacks and some of the scenes will make you lose your damn mind. It's a love story that I believe everyone deserves to find and how a crush can turn into so much more!!



Stumbled across this article about the 10 Dating Tips from The Longest Ride
  1. Chivalry is not dead, or at least good manners.
  2. Early stages of dating should involve activities that interest each person. 
  3. Your partner should feel comfortable.
  4. Develop a passion together.
  5. Ask a lot of questions.
  6. Don't make quick judgments.
  7. Get to know their family and friends. 
  8. Live in the moment.
  9. Compromise the tough decisions.
  10. Celebrate your differences.


Fellas, listen up! Put together this bouquet, pick your lady up at the door with it in hand, have an afternoon picnic eating sandwiches and drinking iced tea from Mason jars, then take her to see this movie. You'll thank me later. 


Or for the more tenured couples out there you should take a tour of places that inspired the movie. It's a 4-Day Itinerary taking your through North Carolina from the mountains to the coast. Puh-lease take me!!!
