Happy Halloween and Little Shop of Horrors


We want to wish you a Happy Halloween!!! We hope you are able to have a fun time.  For those of you who are going trick-a-treating have a great time.  Hope you get a lot of candy.  For those of you who can’t or maybe don’t have children to take trick-a-treating, but you can still celebrate with a movie party night.  This year’s Halloween movie suggestion was inspired by “Carpool Karaoke” we saw a few months ago with Ariana Grande and Seth MacFarlane singing “Suddenly Seymour” from “Little Shop of Horrors.”  We think you should have a movie party and show everyone the movie “Little Shop of Horrors.” 



The original “Little Shop of Horrors” movie premiered in 1960's and was not a musical. Then in the 1980's it was made into a Broadway Musical. Later in 1986 that musical was made into another movie that starred Rick Moranis, Ellen Greene and Steve Martin. We suggest you watch that 1986 movie. It is a good movie for a Halloween night because for some it could be considered a horror movie for those who don’t like too scary a movie.  It is also good for those of you who like musicals.

“Little Shop of Horrors” is about a shy flower shop assistant Seymour pines for co-worker Audrey. During a total eclipse, he discovers an unusual plant he names Audrey II, which feeds only on human flesh and blood. The growing plant attracts a great deal of business for the previously struggling store. After Seymour feeds Audrey's boyfriend, Orin, to the plant after Orin's accidental death, he must come up with more bodies for the increasingly bloodthirsty plant.

1960 Movie

Broadway Musical

You should can friends over for dinner and serve a simple fall meal. This is the season the season for apple picking so we have apple inspired meals.  You can make a “Crispy Chicken with Apple Salad” and we found this recipe on the Betty Crocker's website.  Then for dessert, an “Apple Cinnamon Cake” and we got this recipe on the Duncan Hines’ website.  Both are easy to make and taste very fantastic.  It is also great for a little dinner party.



Let us know what you did for Halloween and if you watched the movie we suggested.  Whatever you do we hope you have an amazing night.

Our 3rd Anniversary Time for a Friends Get Together


Our 3rd Anniversary Time for a Friends Get Together

March is when we celebrate our 3rd anniversary of writing our blog, “Advice from Rose and Lyssa Marie.” We hope you have enjoyed reading the blog as we have had writing it. Thank you for sharing our journey with us.

This month we thought would be a good time for you to have a friends get together.  Catch up and relax.  Have  them over for a movie night a nice comfort food dinner.  An easy dinner would be  Pasta, Beef, Tomatoes and Green Beans.  If you are a vegetarian you can use a either Gardein Beefless Ground, Lighlife Smart Ground Original or Yves Veggie Original Veggie Ground Round instead of ground beef.  This is so easy and quick to make.  For dessert another easy dish would be a Homemade Pazooki or Cookie Sundae

The movie we thought would be good to watch with friends is the movie Beaches.  Either the 1988 version with Bette Midler and Barbara Hershey or the current 2017 Lifetime remake of Beaches with Idina Menzel and Nia Long.  You can watch both and compare the two movies.  Whichever one you want to watch or choose a movie of your own.

Election Day and a Movie Night

Election Day and a Movie Night
http://advicefromroseandlyssamarie.blogspot.com/2016/11/election-day-and-movie-night.html


On Tuesday, November 8th ends a long history campaign for President of the United States of America. People will go to the polls and vote for whom they want to win.  That night they will go home, watch tv and wait for the results.  If you do not want to watch the results, well, we have an alternative idea for that night.  You can always find out results later on.

Why not have a movie night?  Not just any movie but how about a political theme movie.  There are many to choose from that will keep you busy all night.  It will still be keeping with the topic of the day.  Here are some we can suggest:

The American President starring Michael Douglas and Annette Bening

Election starring Reese Witherspoon and Matthew Broderick

Mr. Smith Goes to Washington starring Jimmy Stewart



Since it is Fall how about for snacks some Caramel Popcorn.  You can buy it already made from Orville Redenbacher's or make it yourself from scratch.  It is easy.  Just pop some plain corn and drizzle some Smucker’s caramel sauce on. Any flavor you like will do.



Another snack idea could be a great time to finish any leftover Halloween candy.

We do have one thing to ask of you. Please do not post about the election here.  We find talking about this election only starts fights and we do not want that on our page.  It will get deleted and you will be banned for this page. This is not the place for that.  There are many other places on the internet you can post about the election.  Thank you and we hope you respect our wishes.

Whatever you do that night we do hope you have good time and it is stress free.

A Halloween Movie Night

A Halloween Movie Night



Let’s us be one of the first to wish you all a very Happy Halloween.  To get you in the spirit of this season you might want to watch some movies.  We have some family friendly suggestions for you to chose from if you would like to go out or stay home.

If you want to go out you can go see the new Tyler Perry’s Boo! A Madea Halloween.  That is now out in the movie theaters.  It is rated PG 13 and while it is family friendly you might not want to take real young kids to this.  Here is the link to the official trailer so you can decided if you want to do see it.





Our other suggestion is if you want to stay home then you might want to watch The Addam’s Family movie.  This movie is also rated PG 13.







You also might want to check out Freeform’s 13 Nights of Halloween.




Let’s us know what you decided to do.  Please stay safe this Halloween.
