THAT APRIL MAGIC

IT'S TIME FOR SPRING CLEANING/YOU CAN'T AVOID IT:

No one likes to clean --- except for maybe the Friends character Monica Gellar, but everyone likes it clean.

Here's a spring cleaning checklist to get you started.

Here's a JPEG image of the checklist as well:

If this looks truly daunting, break it down for a couple of weekends. You don't have to do it all in one day...unless you're into that sort of thing. I don't judge.

This is me without judgment...

7 WAYS TO DECLUTTER YOUR LIFE THIS SPRING:

Here's the article https://theglitterguide.com/2018/03/05/declutter-life-spring/

Of course, I'll highlight my faves...

1. Organize your digital life- Our computer can be one of the most cluttered areas of our life. Take some time to go through your files and organize them. You can use the cloud to store your documents and save space on your computer. Sure, that is boring and time-consuming, but you will thank your past self, trust me. Keep your desktop organized, too, and unsubscribe to junk email—Unroll.Me can help you with that.

2. Tidy up your desk-Take five minutes to tidy up your desk. Get rid of pens that have run out, keep cords and cables organized and get a paper organizer to avoid having a bunch of sheets spread around. Having a decluttered desk will make you more productive and your mind less chaotic.

As someone who cooks a TON, this next tip really resonated with me....

3. Organize your pantry - Go through your pantry and cupboards and get rid of anything you don’t use. If you have any Tupperware boxes that have lost their lids, throw them away, as well as any expired food. To avoid bulky packaging, store pasta, rice, etc. in Mason jars—it not only keeps everything tidier, but also looks way prettier. Another great tip is to dedicate separate shelves for each type of food so that it’s all organized and easy to find.

WHAT I'M WATCHING/WHAT YOU SHOULD BE WATCHING

1. "The Dead don't Die" (in theaters June 4th, 2019)

A Jim Jarmusch film? A Jim Jarmusch film about zombies... or as Adam Driver puts it in the trailer "Ghouls"... ? Yes, PLEASE.

By the way, I'm not talking the little green ghouls that the character "Charlie Kelly" loves to go on about. Tee-hee.

Here's the trailer (and, um, yep that is the awesome Bill Murray)....

2. "Ma" (release date May 31, 2019)

Octavia Spencer in a horror movie?!? Yes...PLEASE.

Here's the official synopsis: A lonely, middle-aged woman befriends a group of teenagers and decides to let them party at her house. Just when the kids think their luck couldn't get any better, things start happening that make them question the intention of their host.

Here's the official trailer....

3. "Whiskey Cavalier" (a TV series on ABC)

I have to admit this show took me by surprise. It's a charming fun show in the world of spies, the FBI, and the CIA. The cast is great, their chemistry is wonderful and the show is full of excitement.

Here's the official synopsis: Following an emotional breakup, tough but tender FBI super-agent Will Chase (codename: Whiskey Cavalier) is assigned to work with CIA operative Francesca"Frankie" Trowbridge (codename: Fiery Tribune). Together, they lead an interagency team of flawed, funny and heroic spies -- including Will's best friend, behavioral scientist Susan Sampson and jittery genius Edgar Standish -- who periodically save the world -- and each other -- while navigating the rocky roads of friendship, romance and office politics.

Here's a trailer...

4. "Little" (release date - April 12, 2019)

This African-American "Big" in reverse looks absolutely delightful. From the looks of the trailer, I'm definitely on board...

4. "Hot Rod" (2007 - available on Amazon Prime or STARZ)

I can watch this old school Andy Samberg movie again and again. It's his "Billy Madison" so to speak. If you like heartfelt goofy comedies check this film out immediately.

Here's a trailer....

UNTIL NEXT TIME, MY LOVELIES....
