Hi, I’m Suzie! I’m a Los Angeles based Family Lifestyle blogger over at happymessmoments.com, where you’ll find my MOMents in Travel, Entertainment, Crafting and more. It’s been fun covering the Maleficent: Mistress of Evil movie for Lipgloss & Crayons, so I hope you enjoy this post!

Maleficent: Mistress of Evil Press Junket

This Halloween season, Disney brings evil and then some to the big screen with Maleficent: Mistress of Evil. The film opens Friday, October 18, so be sure to read my spoiler-free review. But first, here’s what the cast had to say about bringing Maleficent back.

Maleficent Press Junket

Evil never looked so good, especially with the amazing cast of Maleficent:Mistress of Evil up on stage. The stars included Angelina Jolie (“Maleficent”), Michelle Pfeiffer (“Queen Ingrith”), Elle Fanning (“Princess Aurora”), Chiwetel Ejiofor (“Conall”), Sam Riley (“Diaval”), Harris Dickinson (“Prince Phillip”), Ed Skrein (“Borra”), and Director Joachin Ronning.

On his vision of expanding the Maleficent universe, Director Joachin Ronning said, “I feel a huge part of the success of the first film was that it had such a strong emotional core. And I think that was the most important thing for me to continue telling that story, the story about Maleficent and Aurora. And that’s definitely something I can relate to as a parent myself.”

We all know the power that Michelle Pfeiffer brings to the villainous characters she’s played in the past. So it was exciting to see her as Queen Ingrith, Prince Philip’s mother and main antagonist. When asked about how different in strength the women of the film are, she said, “Aurora’s character is many ways is ultimately the strongest and the wisest of all of us. I mean my character is really brilliant and diabolical, but I wouldn’t consider her terribly wise – and in some ways what she resorts to is really, truly at the end of the day, really deep fear.”

Elle Fanning on Aurora: “Aurora is taking charge of her own life but with kindness, which is the most powerful of all. We didn’t want Aurora to then be in [in a lot of films they put her in armor and have a sword and she’s fighting and that makes her strong]. That isn’t Aurora’s true nature and I love that she symbolizes that for also young girls. I was that girl and I was always soft and wanted to me a mom and wanted to get married and very feminine and there’s nothing wrong with that. And we get to show the strength in accepting your femininity. And Aurora does it in a pink dress, very BADASS.”

Maleficent: Mistress of Evil touches on family and accepting who you truly are. Angelina Jolie talked about when Aurora and Maleficent were first brought together – they weren’t expecting to become a family. So in this film you’ll see the challenges they face. “Maleficent was harmed in her life and she’d lost herself and lost her ability to be soft or feel love, and the love of a child, which certainly happened for me in my life–being a mother brought out something in me that completely transformed me. But we are different creatures in the film, and so there are metaphors in the film and not to be heavy about it, but always I think a good film for young people are these messages.” 

MALEFICENT: MISTRESS OF EVIL arrives in theatres everywhere on October 18th!

🧡 Here’s to the what ifs that become……look what I did moments.⠀
⠀
❤️ This photo shoot is one of them for me. Bravery and stepping out in faith looks different for each of us.  But this is my reminder to y’all and myself…..that when you show yourself in whatever way that looks like for you…….the people who are supposed to be in your life……will be.⠀
⠀
🧡 Cheers to thick thighs, bravery that comes with age, and (no apologies) seeing beauty in ourselves. #troopselflove
❤️We have everything ready for when our kids a ❤️We have everything ready for when our kids are sick…..but tell the truth, what about when YOU'RE not feeling your best?❤️⠀
⠀
🧡<Sponsored by Avrio Health> Let’s be honest, this normally falls to the wayside, am I right?  As parents, we tend to be way more prepared for our kids' sick days than our own. ⠀
⠀
💛This year, I’m committing to being AS PREPARED to take care of myself as I am to take care of Lydia (reminder moms, these aren’t mutually exclusive….taking care of YOURSELF is important too). I always keep “sick day supplies” on hand for Lydia and this year I'm finally making myself a priority too. ⠀
⠀
💚In my "Sick Day" Kit:⠀
1️⃣Orange Juice:  If I start to feel sick…..Vitamin C filled juice is first up!⠀
2️⃣ @Betadine_us Antiseptic Sore Throat Gargle: This fast-acting gargle temporarily relieves occasional sore throat. I stocked up on this! You can #UpYourGargleGame by buying it at Walgreens or from Amazon! Betadine Gargle should be used as directed for adults and children 12 years and older. See product labeling for directions and warnings. ⠀
3️⃣Heating Pad: Sore muscles? Slept poorly? All of these things tend to come along with sick days and a heating pad is a must have.⠀
4️⃣Ice Packs: I started stocking extra ice packs in our freezer in case of headaches.⠀
5️⃣Soup: Tummy trouble? Better to have soup on hand for when I need it.⠀
⠀
💙What do you keep in the house for sick days?⠀
Watch out for that glass ladies……it’s everyw Watch out for that glass ladies……it’s everywhere!

To broken glass ceilings, rebuilding our nation, and starting the journey of 1000 miles with a single step.

Joy cometh in the morning.
📣How are you using your Influence?📣⠀
⠀
💛I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately. We ALL have influence…..on this app, in our church pews, on our personal social media, in our private conversations, talking from 6 feet apart to our neighbors, in the way we address conflicting viewpoints (note to self on this one), over our children and our students.  To be in community with others is to have influence.  How are we each using it? ⠀
⠀
💛This lady? We’re talking all about Inspiration this month and she’s one of mine.  At 75 years old (happy birthday Dolly), not only is she one of THE most successful recording artists…..but talk about using your influence.  From speaking up to say that Black Lives Matter to founding her Imagination Library which provides books to children worldwide…..this lady proactively uses her talent and influence to serve others.  May I do the same at the ripe age of 75.⠀
⠀
💛So what does that look like for me? Authentic conversation everywhere…..including here.  To be transparent, every time I’ve spoke up about basic human rights here in the last few years…….people leave our community. And that? Is just fine with me.  Because, what good is this community if I can't speak about the values that are a core part of who I am? Now? I want to do more. A foundation? Charity work? I’m not sure, but I can tell you…..I’m inspired and I hope you are too.  Change starts with us.⠀
⠀
💛(ps, if you want to support Dolly’s Imagination Library, a book is donated to it for every one of these sweatshirts sold….I include the info here for those of you on like to know it and in my profile for the rest of y’all).⠀

✨Story time.  I rarely share pictures of Lydia by herself on here.  But this? Is a story of when my seven year old reminded me how to love myself.  We had plans to shoot a BUNCH of images at once, a batch shoot.  So as Lydia watched me planning outfits and get organized, she decided she wanted to do her own thing.  She picked an outfit and her favorite shoes. ⠀
⠀
✨And she did the darn thing.  This? She picked the angle and background.  And the joy? Look at the joy.  That’s not posed. ⠀
⠀
✨Somewhere along the way…..as tweens or teens or adults, we lose the joy.  The, I feel pretty and want to twirl in my dress joy.  We worry that our thighs are rubbing together or our hair looks weird, or that we should be wearing a darker color to minimize things.  And…..we’re missing the point.  Sometimes, you just need a dress you can twirl in with a smile on your face.⠀
⠀
✨Thanks Lydia. ⠀

These photos are something I told myself a million times I wanted to take.  And something I told myself a million times I shouldn’t.  Here’s to the millionth time plus one.  A 41 year old curvy mom.  Yup, thick thighs and all.  And I’m so proud of how they turned out.⠀
