Unsung Hero (Movie Review and Giveaway)

Hello Beautiful People,

My Bubblingwitheleganceandgrace team and I had the privilege of pre-screening the new movie Unsung Hero, which debuts in theaters on April 26! You can get your tickets now.

You may have heard of Rebecca St. James or Joel and Luke Smallbone of the band For King and Country.
Unsung Hero chronicles their entire family’s story and does not solely focus on them or their outward fame.

The cast includes Daisy Betts, Joel Smallbone, Kirrilee Berger, Jonathan Jackson, and Lucas Black, with Candace Cameron Bure and Terry O’Quinn.

You can watch the trailer here:

When their father, David Smallbone’s successful music company, collapses and he loses everything, he moves his family from Australia to the United States in search of a brighter future. With nothing more than their six children, their suitcases, and their love of music, David and his pregnant wife Helen set out to rebuild their lives from the ground up. This is the story of one mother’s (or mum’s) faith in God to inspire her husband and children to be strong through it all, no matter what comes their way.

Watch Momentum Network’s interview with Luke Smallbone

Unsung Hero shows the strength and resilience of a family when there seems to be no solution for change.

In my early twenties, my mother went to be with the Lord. I did not think I could exist anymore. She was my everything, but God picked me up and gave me hope. Through His word, I had to seek Him daily and give all of myself to Him.

The Hopeful (Movie Review and Giveaway)

Hello, Elegant Ones!

What a week! With the eclipse getting everyone excited, fearing dome and gloom, or wanting it to be over, however, there was no need to worry.

Watching the 2024 eclipse

When my hubby and I watched the eclipse, we thought it was a wonder to see and to look up at the skies. In 2017, we wrote a post about our eclipse experience HERE! On Monday, April 8, 2024, at about 12:43 pm (CST), the temperature started cooling from 80 to 74 degrees, and it was getting dark enough for the lights to turn on. Even the birds began acting differently, but our doggies didn’t. The pups were enjoying being outside. We watched the time-lapse of when it went from dark to back to the original bright sun. It was pretty cool.

Flashback to the 2017 Eclipse

The eclipse made me think about how our team recently previewed the new movie, THE HOPEFUL. In the film, a community of Christians is looking for Jesus to return on a particular date and year. However, we know that no one knows the day or the hour of His coming.

What does God’s word say?

Matthew 24:36 (ESV) says
“But concerning that day and hour, no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only.”
We must guard our hearts when we lean on our interpretations of the Bible and look to God for direction —content on content, not our interpretation.


THE HOPEFUL ” is the story of a community whose lives were transformed as they learned what it means to truly wait for Jesus. This sweeping drama, set in 19th-century New England, invites audiences of all ages to imagine how hope can change the world.” This movie educated my team because we didn’t know how the Seventh-day Adventist church was started. I am not a Seventh-Day Adventist, but the history is insightful. THE HOPEFUL recounts how the denomination formed and highlights the roadblocks and triumphs.

Do you know about the history of the Seventh-Day Adventist church?
All I knew was that the congregation went to church on Saturdays. My aunt became a Seventh-day Adventist before going to be with the Lord, but I didn’t know much about her path of choice.

You can watch the movie’s trailer here.

Jean Thomason with Momentum Influencers Network interviews the movie’s director, Kyle Portbury, to get an insider’s look at the movie. You can watch the interview here.

Top Questions To Consider When Buying A Dog

Being a dog owner is a long-term commitment. Knowing that you will be responsible for the life you are raising in your house is one thing when you have a family, but it’s a whole other ball game when you have a pet. Dogs can’t tell you when they feel sick or sad. 

Not in so many words, anyway. In a practical sense, it’s good to understand what makes a healthy dog so that you can keep on top of their health and save your budget. An unhealthy dog can become very expensive so the more you look after your dog with a regular multi-vitamin for dogs. And frequent veterinary visits, the better. Before you search for your brand new best friend, let’s look at some of the ways you can make buying a dog an easy choice.

– Should you buy a puppy or a senior? Purchasing a puppy is adorable, but it takes a lot of work, and they have tons of personality, which means you have a lot to learn. It’s essential to remember that they will require a lot more time and attention than a senior dog would. Training and socializing takes a lot of time, so if you can’t devote this time to it, then make sure you seek a dog of a different age. Senior dogs are often less healthy than puppies, but they are trained and more your speed. You have to ensure that you are conditioned into their health issues before purchasing. 

– Is your dog active or calm? Dog walking is an extremely important part of the day for a dog. No matter the size or breed of the dog you have, you need to ensure that you are giving them adequate exercise out of the house. Otherwise, they can become destructive and anxious. If your lifestyle doesn’t allow you to walk a dog at least once or twice a day, then you should consider a more low maintenance type of pets, such as a cat that can remain indoors. Some dog breeds are highly active by nature, which means that you have to be on top of this at all times.

– Are you considering a small dog or a big dog? Larger dogs make larger poops, and they also require a lot more food. They also need much more space than a Chihuahua or a toy poodle. Larger dogs have more endurance, but they will cost you a lot more money in terms of food budgets and cleaning up. Smaller dog breeds are more suited to smaller environments. If you live in a mobile home or an apartment, you might find a small dog breed like a Chihuahua a better option. Caring for smaller dogs is also cheaper because they eat less and are lower maintenance.

Dress Up for a Party Occasion with a Popilush Shapewear Dress

You received an invitation to an important party, but when you opened your wardrobe, you found that no option empowered you or represented your personal style.

This could be a difficult problem to solve, but one that can quickly disappear if you choose a dress built in shapewear clothing. Popilush offers a differentiated design that embraces all women.

How do you know which type of dress to choose for the party?
The direction you need to follow is already in your hands. Firstly, you should check the invitation for the time, place and type of party. These answers will make your final choice much easier, as you can analyze whether you need a more formal or relaxed version. If the weather is hot, you can use a fluid and fresh version for a country wedding.

Bet on a midi dress with an A-line design to look even more feminine. Waist control gives you a well-defined tummy through the shapewear mesh. In addition, it harmonizes the legs, backside, and backline for a smoother shape. The adjustable strap makes the dress fit your body in the best way possible. The front ruffle is an important feature that further refines your shape and makes your bust fuller. Pair it with a straw bag with leather and light-colored shoes.

For an evening cocktail, you can invest in a shapewear maxi dress made from shiny fabric that imitates silk. A deep V neckline with a twisted effect is elegant and shows a unique style. The highly elastic nylon fabric is easy to adapt to the body shape of many women and finishes with comfort and refinement. The plastic mesh
on the back of the piece leaves your back well-defined but also makes the dress even more breathable.

How do I know which length to choose?
You should choose a dress length that makes you feel comfortable with your body. Remember to exercise body positivity lightly every time you purchase a new item of clothing. A midi-length dress suits any occasion. So, in addition to being used for parties, it also easily fits into celebrations in the work or family environment.
Long-length dresses can look more shapely, but an 8-in-1 can easily be used on a more relaxed occasion like a children’s birthday. Double-layer waist control gives you a flat tummy. You achieve a more aligned posture that expands your image as a confident woman. Furthermore, the built-in bra with removable cups provides
comfort and practicality.

If you’re going to dance parties, you can invest in a midi version to create a more youthful look. You can choose a version with a metallic effect, in leather, or even an off-the-shoulder shapewear dress to enhance the collarbone and neck area.

The breathable lining prevents you from feeling that unpleasant stuffy feeling, so it’s a breathable piece that can be worn for many hours. 4-way stretch provides comfort. The 3D seam in the butt region gives you well-defined buttocks.

God’s Goodness for The Chosen (Giveaway Winner Announcement)

Hello, Lovely Ones!

As we move through Holy Week, I pray that you will take time to reflect on Jesus Christ’s death, burial, and resurrection. Jesus’ death on the cross is the catalyst for our Christian faith, and we must understand the magnitude of His sacrifice.

God’s Goodness for the Chosen coordinates with the eight episodes of Season Four that recently aired in theaters. If you are a big fan of The Chosen, you can get separate studies for each of the first three seasons.

In conjunction with the new release of God’s Goodness for the Chosen, we offered our blogging family a giveaway. Congratulations to

~~ Cindy M ~~

who will receive a copy of the bible study.
Congratulations, Cindy! YEAH!

Stay tuned for our next giveaway, which is coming soon. May this Easter season be filled with reflection, solitude, and peace.
