Make It Monday – Easy Bacon Cheeseburger Pie

I grew up going to car shows pretty often, and back then they were pretty big events held in the local city auditorium. It’s been years since we attended an car show, so I was pretty excited when hubby came home the other day and told me about one that they were going to have one here.
I also grew up with my dad building and restoring old cars, so yeap, my first car was a 1978 Cheverolet Camero. I sure do miss my car (long story) but we had some great times through high school and collage.

Okay, so if you ask me about cars, i’m pretty clueless, I really just like to look…and even though I was a bit disappointed in the size of the “show” the cars were pretty awesome and the boys really enjoyed checking them out…

Hopefully I can continue to enjoy small things like these with my boys! After all its about the fun with the family more than the size of the event.

With winter in full swing, you better believe I’ve stocked up on one of my winter must haves, ChapStick! During the winter, your skin & lips are bombarded by the brutal elements, both indoors and out. Going in and out of heated homes/offices & chilling winter winds can take a toll on your lips and be extremely drying. Even the harsh ultraviolet rays from the sun can do damage in winter. Below you will find 6 tips for keeping your lips happy & healthy this winter.
Try to refrain from licking your lips. When you do, it removes natural oils that keep the moisture in your skin.
Dehydration can happen when spending too much time in dry environments, or if you’re not drinking an adequate amount of water every day. Be sure to drink plenty of fluids, esp water.
Use a humidifier at night to keep moisture in your dry, heated home.
Cover your face when heading outdoors, especially on windy days.
Lips are the most delicate part of your face & have few oil glands of their own. To help keep them soft and healthy, try ChapStick Moisturizer that features more than 7 moisturizing ingredients that will leave your lips soft and silky.
As I stated above, UV rays are present even in the winter months. Try to use a product with broad spectrum SPF 15 or higher like ChapSticks Sun Defence delivers SPF protection and other moisturizing ingredients.

During our Pirates of the Caribbean Dead Men Tell No Tales press junket, we were able to sit down and chat with directors Joachim Ronning & Espen Sandberg about joining the Pirates’ franchise and bringing the fifth installment to life.
Why most people might think that the job just fell into their laps, think again…
“We chased it. We really wanted to make this movie.”
It was actually their idea to do the origin story. That was something they wanted to explore. Being fans of the franchise they wanted to learn more about Jack Sparrow. Johnny liked the idea but was a little reserved on the idea as he is protective of his character.
The ghost sharks were brilliantly written in by Jeff Nathanson, and left up to Joachim & Espen to take it from paper to an action sequence. The design of the sharks was a long process that they did together with Javier Bardem, the production designers & the VFX supervisors.
Joachim & Espen started making movies together when they were 10. Movies that inspired them were the Spielberg, Lucas and Zemeckis films.
Q. So, because you work with a team and you work as a team so often, do you have individual roles interacting?
A. “It’s very easy for everyone. We don’t really know any other way of doing this then being together. For us, it’s a very natural process. And I think it’s a collaborative one. We include the actors and the crew and everyone as part of the discussion basically.”
Q. When you were filming the young Jack scenes, was the process similar to the rogue one and filming Leah, the young Leah in terms of the CGI for his face, for Johnny’s face?
A. “I would say yes and no because the Leah was not with Carrie Fisher but we shot with Johnny Depp. So I mean the youthification that we call it — And we shot it with Johnny and then spent the year in the computer basically.”
Q. What was it like working with Johnny Depp? And what was the chemistry like on set?
A.“Oh, it’s amazing. He’s so funny. And I mean, what you see with Jack Sparrow, it’s all Johnny. And he’s a genius. I mean for us he’s like up there with Chaplin and the other ones because his timing is just perfect and he has such a weird imagination. He comes up with the craziest ideas. And for us, the highlight was always going into his trailer in the morning and going through the scenes and the lines and trying to come up with even more cool stuff to do to make it even funnier. And of course, when we started shooting he would do something completely different. And everyone was sort of thrown off but that also makes it come alive and funny.”
Pirates Facts:
Captain “Salazar” was written as a British Capt. until they cast Javier Bardem for the role.
They were inspired by Hollywood adventure family movies
They hope the franchise continues
They were breakdancers when they were 10
