Mystery of The Hope Diamond airs this Sunday

;

Ever since Titanic came out my junior year of high school, I’ve always been intrigued with the history of the Hope Diamond. The history behind it is super interesting.

The Smithsonian Channel is airing a one hour special about the infamous 45 carat necklace this Sunday, November 21, called Mystery of The Hope Diamond. The special will delve into the history of the necklace and discuss the supposed curse that’s attached to it.

However, www.SmithsonianChannel.com is streaming the special on it’s website, starting today at noon.

I have a lot of Studying to catch up on

I don’t read fashion and beauty magazines, I study them! As you can see, I have a lot of studying to do. Instead of studying this weekend, I spent the majority of it engulfing every horror movie my sister and I could find on TV and her collection. In between I noshed on halloween candy and lasagna I made on Saturday. Great weekend, in all.

Now, I need to start flipping threw these…ASAP!
