Man Candy Monday.

Why, hello, friends! A very happy Monday to you! Can you believe it’s almost September? Ready to fall into fall?? I know, that’s pretty corny, but I couldn’t help it! Oh, wait, corny…like candy corn…wow, I’m certainly on a roll today, aren’t I? Anyway, today’s guy starred in our current binge-watching show. He’s pretty smooth. He seems really down-to-earth. And the characters he plays seem really, really intense…

Ahh, Monday — how I love and loathe you all at the same time! Please be good to me this week, alright? I hope you all have a great week to, and to kick things off, today’s guy is a rather interesting pick. It’s not exactly a person, but more like a TV character; you can even probably guess which show he’s on based on the last few weeks. Anyway, he’s fun. He’s got a snazzy sense of style. And he’s extremely perceptive and intuitive…

“Well, first there was the welcome home parade thrown in my honor, ticker tape, streamers. Honestly, I was so touched I almost wept.”

We say goodbye to the weekend…and hello to Monday morning! Where did these last two days go? To get us in the right frame of mind to tackle the next five days like an Olympic champ, here’s a great guy from Angel. Now that I’m finished watching Buffy, I’m deep-binging its spin-off series. This guy was such a badass on this show. He knew his own mind. And, he had the cutest smile and intense eyes EVER…

Happy Monday, friends! How are you on this fine and dandy morning? I’m slowly recovering from my Long Birthday Weekend Bonanza — you know how wild and crazy I can get! The whole weekend was just sheer madness. But today’s guy is anything but madness. He’s more dreamy than madness and I fell in love with him while watching this show — currently watching it for the second time. His accent is quite sophisticated. His brain is oh-so-sexy. And he has a way about him that makes me want to confess my every thought…

ALEXIS DENISOF!!!!!!!!!!

“That’s an important lesson for me, to not qualify my experience against somebody else’s. My experience is the experience that I wanted to have, and have created for myself, but it doesn’t make me any more deserving than anybody else — or less.”

Summer Binge-Watching: Stranger Things on Netflix

Have you caught Stranger Things fever yet? It’s pure madness, I tell you, and I’ve been powerless in resisting it. We started watching the series over the weekend and are already halfway done — and there are only EIGHT episodes!

Stranger Things stars Winona Ryder as Joyce, a mom determined to find her son after he vanishes without a trace. Of course, just like any good thriller, you quickly realize that nothing is as it seems — odd, strange and downright supernatural things start to happen. Everything is one giant mystery, but one thing is clear: The boy’s disappearance is not your average run-of-the-mill missing persons case.

The show takes place in Indiana in 1983 and the decade is captured perfectly — the music, the fashion and a bit of John Hughes-style teen romance thrown in for good measure.

If you’re in the mood for a nostalgic thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat, I highly recommend Stranger Things. It’s the perfect summer series that will leave you constantly saying, “Oh, just one more!“

What are you binge-watching this summer, friends? Any favorites? You know I’m always looking to add to my Must-Watch List… xoxo
