AROUND TOWN: Safe Haven Advanced Screening {GIVEAWAY} CLOSED

Posted on January 17, 2013November 20, 2015 by Elaine

Eeeks! So I’m really excited today because I found out there’s a new movie coming out based on a Nicholas Sparks book called Safe Haven. But that means…there’s a Nicholas Sparks book I haven’t read yet! Gasp!

Safe_Haven_Poster 
This “romantic thriller” stars Julianne Hough and Josh Dumahel and will be opening on Valentine’s day. So for those of you that do the whole Valentine’s thing this might be the perfect date movie to catch! Check out the trailer:

Here’s even more exciting news. Julianne Hough and Josh Dumahel will be in Toronto this Monday for the advanced screening at the Scotia Bank Theatre! You may even get a chance to MEET them!
SAFE HAVEN
You can’t buy tickets to this event but you can win them here! I have 4 double passes to give away!  Here are the event details:
When: Monday January 2013
Show Time: 7:30 pm (but arrive early! I was told there might be a red carpet and of course you want to get good seats!)
Where: Scotiabank Theatre 259 Richmond Street West, Toronto ON M5V3M6

NOTES: You really need to arrive early as the seats are distributed on a first come, first serve basis – so avoid disappointment!

There will also be a “rush” line. So if you don’t win tickets you can try your luck by coming to the theatre and you may have a last minute chance of getting in.

Rules:
1. You must be able to get to the theatre (so I’m assuming if you live in Vancouver you may not want to enter…unless you’re willing to fly in for this event!)
2. If you are picked as the winner you MUST respond to my email within 24 hours. If you do not I will draw a new winner.
3. Four winners will be chosen.
4. Just because you win passes this does NOT guarantee you access inside the theatre! As stated above seats are given to pass holders on a first come, first serve basis. (So please don’t yell at me if you arrive late and don’t get in!)

    Why do all Nicholas Sparks movie posters look the same? The poster reminds me of The Notebook.

I can’t believe @guster_dog is already 6! 😭❤️❤️

The cake is made of pumpkin, sweet potato, spinach, and carrot. The “frosting” is potato cream mixed with natural colorings. Gluten-free and lactose-free with lots of healthy veggies means Guster can enjoy his special treat and we don’t have to worry about his health. 🥳

The cake is truly a work of art, and - as you can see - Guster definitely approves of the taste! He ate the sculpture of himself so fast that we didn’t even catch it on camera! 🙈

Would you get a cake for your pet?

It’s an indulgence to be sure, but one I would 10/10 recommend for special occasions. 

Have you tried this type of treatment?

Hi! 👋🏼 I’m still here! I’m sorry I haven’t posted Hi! 👋🏼 I’m still here! I’m sorry I haven’t posted much. I’m finding it a bit hard, tbh. 🫤

I’m figuring out what the next phase of #TorontoBeautyReviews looks like and healing from an injury, while my 9-5 has lately been more like 7-7, so I’m filling my off hours with family, dance, food, and books. Finding joy and peace where I can in an intense world. ❤️

I still try out lots of products and I do occasionally paint my face 🙃. I’m just not as interested in the grind of daily posts just for the sake of staying relevant anymore. Which has meant that I’m not on as many PR lists as I used to be. Which means that I don’t have as much new stuff to review. It’s a cycle. 

Things are shifting, which is tough sometimes. But it’s ok - so am I. 😊
