We are thrilled to announce a heartfelt project that's been brewing in the background. Mary Rowe's amazing daughter Hazel is stepping into the world of children’s literature with her very first book on a topic we all resonate with - Feelings!

"Feelings" is a charming exploration designed for both young children and adults. Through Hazel’s beautiful illustrations and storytelling, we embark on a journey exploring different emotions. From the joy that lights up our faces like the sun to the courage in opening up about our sadness. Hazel also teaches us how to handle anger with kindness and transform loneliness into adventurous play with a little imagination.

As we dive into this venture, Hazel and I are learning so much together, not just about storytelling but also the intricate dance of printing, marketing, and distribution. It’s been a labor of love, and we're so excited to bring it into your hands soon.

Stay tuned for more updates, sneak peeks, and the release date!

I'm currently navigating through a meaningful phase of self-discovery as I transition into this fresh chapter. The initial part of the year has brought me crystal-clear insight and unwavering commitment toward establishing a robust base designed to endure. I've been rigorously self-disciplined, insisting on tangible outcomes to confirm that my foundational efforts are rock-solid. As we move into the next phase, I'm taking this mission to heart. The period ahead will be defined by heartfelt appreciation, unyielding determination, and steadfast perseverance. While life's hurdles may topple barriers for some, can you maintain your resolve to keep building on the commitments you've made to yourself? Countless distractions will undoubtedly compete for your focus, yet it's imperative to remain firmly concentrated on your key ambitions. Let's embrace this opportunity and chase our dreams with passion!

Matthew Vaughn’s “Argylle” ambitiously attempts to blend the worlds of high-octane spy thrillers with a self-referential comedic twist, but ultimately loses its way in a maze of clichés and underwhelming ex*****on. The film kicks off with a sequence that seems to promise a blend of action and humor, featuring Henry Cavill’s Agent Argylle in a glittery showdown with Dua Lipa’s LaGrange in a Greek club. What follows is a dance of bullets and banter that swiftly descends into the realm of the absurd, highlighting the film’s struggle to balance its tone between satire and serious spy drama.

While 'Suncoast' adds to the conversation around the complexities of adolescence, it leaves the audience yearning for a more textured exploration of its themes and characters. Despite its shortcomings, the film underscores the enduring potential of coming-of-age stories to touch upon the universal chords of growing up, even if it doesn't fully achieve its ambitious aims.

See the full review below.

Can there be anything more Sundance-y than a teary coming-of-age movie? This is by no means a knock towards the genre. Films that swim in such familiar waters can be wonderfully fulfilling, like Megan Park’s youthful “My Old Ass” showed with nuance at this year’s Sundance. In comparison, wri...

“Bob Marley: One Love” attempts to capture the essence of a musical icon but falls flat, leaving audiences questioning its purpose. Director Reinaldo Marcus Green, known for previous works with potential, fails to infuse the film with the depth or originality it desperately needs. Instead, we’re presented with a formulaic biopic that feels more like a marketing ploy than a genuine exploration of Marley’s life.

In the search for a modern teen classic, “Lisa Frankenstein” falls flat despite its promising premise and talented cast. Penned by Diablo Cody, known for her sharp wit and understanding of female characters, and helmed by Zelda Williams in her directorial debut, the film boasted potential. Kathryn Newton, playing the titular role, shines as a reclusive goth girl in a twisted romance with an undead creature.

🍿 Last night I watched "Upgraded" on Amazon Prime Video, and I've got to give a big thanks to Amazon Prime Video for the virtual screening pass! 🎬

"Upgraded" is a fun ride with Ana (Camila Mendes) and her ambitious journey in the art world, trying to impress her demanding boss Claire (Marisa Tomei). When a first-class upgrade leads to a mistaken identity and a whirlwind of romance and opportunities, things get pretty interesting!

It felt like a mix of "The Devil Wears Prada" and something else I can't quite put my finger on. 🤔 This quaint little film had heart, but I wished a few plot points were fleshed out more. Still, it's worth a watch if you're into art, infatuation, sarcasm, and the occasional unrealistic twist. 😉🎨💔 Woodsy LLC.

🌿 Fresh Life February Update 🌿

Wow, what a transformational week it's been on this journey towards a healthier, happier me during Fresh Life February! As we approach the end of the first week, I wanted to share some of the successes and experiences that have made this journey so remarkable. 🙌

Daily Routine Revamp: I've completely revamped my daily routine, and it's amazing how a few small changes can have such a big impact. My mornings now start with exercise and meditation, setting a positive tone for the day ahead. 🧘‍♀️🏋️‍♀️

Mindful Eating: I've made a conscious effort to curb my appetite and opt for healthier choices. Apples, berries, kiwi, and plant-based options have become my go-to staples for every meal. 🍏🍓🥝

Quality Sleep: Sleep is the foundation of good health, and I've prioritized it like never before. By improving the quality and amount of sleep I get, I feel more rejuvenated and energized every morning. 💤

Reduced Food Waste: I've also taken steps to reduce food waste, which not only helps the environment but also saves me money! ♻️

Time Management: With the newfound energy from healthier living, I've reclaimed precious time that was previously wasted due to fatigue. Now, I'm able to tackle tasks I've been putting off for days, weeks, and even months. 📅

Self-Care Upgrades: In addition to a revamped diet and routine, I've incorporated Chlorophyll shots, iodine, and zinc supplements into my self-care regimen. Lemon, ginger, and turmeric shots add an extra boost of wellness to my week. 🌱

I'm feeling incredibly motivated and inspired by the progress I've made in just one week. Thank you all for your support and encouragement on this journey! Let's keep pushing ourselves towards our goals and making Fresh Life February a month to remember. 💪💚 Woodsy LLC.

Leaders frequently focus on helping those immediately in front of them, sometimes neglecting the essential support required by those behind them. Think of it like this: the windshield of your car is much larger than the rearview mirror, causing the scenes behind you to seem smaller and easier to overlook. However, it's crucial for leaders to understand the importance of offering support to those in the background, acknowledging that their welfare is just as important for collective success and advancement.

Hey friends, fans, and artists! Just a reminder that tomorrow we kick off Fresh Life February. It's a month intentionally dedicated to healthier living - no meat, no dairy, less alcohol (😉, Look I'm not tryna lie to nobody myself included), and saying goodbye to bread, sugar, and processed foods. Join me on this journey of clean eating and wellness. Let's inspire each other with our creativity and healthy choices! I want to see your recipes and meal ideas in the comments. 🌱💪🍏 Woodsy LLC.
