I saw Breaking Dawn: Part 1 last night and to cut straight to the chase, I thought it was a truly horrible movie. There were only two things I liked about it: one, when Bella put on a black slip to entice Edward to sleep with her and Edward buried his face into a pillow in frustration, and two, the decorations at the couple's wedding.

I happened to run across photos from the LA movie's premiere after party today and since it was Edward and Bella wedding-themed (and therefore a reminder of one of the only tolerable aspects of this movie), I thought I'd share.

"The afterparty took place under a giant tent on the rooftop of a garage next to the theater. Bella and Edward's wedding was the theme of the night. Partygoers—there were close to 3,000—entered the bash by walking through an arch of white flowers."

"Wooden tables and benches completed the look of Bella and Edward's woodsy nuptials."

"White leather couches were placed throughout the party. In the honeymoon area, they were accented with tropical flowers."

"Hello, sweet tooth! Bella and Edward's wedding cake towered over a dessert buffet that included matching cupcakes."

"The wedding cake was five-feet tall!"

"Tabletops featured centerpieces of white flowers and green foliage."

"The honeymoon area even included a glowing orange moon."

I think it's time to make two major, but extremely necessary changes in my life. One, I need to stop allowing others (mainly men) to walk all over me. I deserve respect, and if someone is disrespecting me, that person does not deserve my time or my energy. I can still behave pleasantly towards them, but I don't need to try so hard to make them happy that it ends up hurting me emotionally in the process.

Specifically, when it comes to men that I am considering as potential significant others, I will make the conscious choice to move on from anyone that is not, above all, a deeply goodhearted and sincere person. A man that lacks these two essential qualities, no matter how intelligent, good-looking or successful, is simply not worth it. I must acknowledge the fact that it is not in my best interests to be in a serious relationship with someone that is not, at the very least, goodhearted and sincere. (I, of course, know this intellectually, but I have a history of ignoring it in practice.)

Two, I need to take better care of my health. I've said it many, many times before, but I need to stop drinking Diet Coke and drink more water, eat less fast food and cook more, and exercise regularly.

Basically, I need to think of and take care of myself more. One way to do this is to repeatedly ask myself, "Is this in my best interests? If not, what is?"

Is it weird that I sorta-kinda-maybe want this?

Kidada for Disney Store Wish-a-Little Ariel

With a charm necklace and a card for you to write your greatest wish...

Did I mention the packaging is adorable too?

There's just one teensy little problem.

She's $39.50.

I finally broke down and purchased the Aurora journal, pen and mug from the Disney Designer Princess collection:

They cost a pretty penny on eBay, but I'd been really wanting them for a long time and was unable to purchase them in stores.

Speaking of the Disney Designer Princess Collection, I'm so happy I was able to order my own Ariel doll when she was available on the Disney Store website. She's going for over $400 right now on eBay!

I also purchased four tiny, white ceramic bunny rabbits from eBay. Here's a picture of two of them that I found on Tumblr a while ago:

Aren't they precious? ^_^

In other news, Jen brought my attention to the new "Snow White and the Huntsman" trailer, and I'm so happy she did. This movie is now at the very top of my must-see list!

Just a few things I have on my wish list from West Elm that I wanted to share...
