My Week With Marilyn - Movie Review

My Week With Marilyn- Movie Review

For me there isn't a ton to say about this movie. I thought it was pretty good. It really portrayed Marilyn's life. Everyone used her. They druged her up used her for her fame. She had a really horrible childhood and just wanted someone to love her. It was really sad in many ways. I thought Michelle Willams was great in it. I would love to read the book and learn more about her life.

Weekly Review- The Vampire Diaries Season 3 Ep18

 

Weekly Review- The Vampire Diaries Season 3 Ep18

This week’s episode was pretty good. For awhile there they were getting boring. But since Damon and Stefan made stakes of the white oak I was so expecting an original to die and surely one did. Fin was staked but he really wasn’t the one who I wanted to see die, he wanted to die anyway. It was sad though because he finally got reunited with Sage and he is dead.  Killing one should have killed all originals but Klaus got Bonnie to undo the spell, with a lot of threats on her mother and Jeremy though. Rebekah captured Damon and drained him of blood so he was no longer under the influence of vervain. She was able to find out how many stakes they actually had.

For me the show had to great parts to it. First there was finding a redeemable quality to Rebekah she really isn’t that bad. I feel sorry for her she just wants to be loved and have a family. Klaus doesn’t really care about her and would let any of them die to save him and she knows that now. And after Damon tricked her into sleeping with her and had no feelings for her you just feel horrible for her.  The second is that Stefan asked Elena is she had no feelings for Damon and she wasn’t sure. Delena is slowly coming true she just needs to realize that Damon is the better guy because he is.

Also the few cliff hangers that always happen. If you kill an original everyone from their blood line dies, every vampire they turned and they turned and so on. Thing is Damon and Stefan aren’t sure whose they are from. Katherine was turned by Rose but who turned her. And that means if you kill Klaus Tyler dies.  Also Alaric crazy alter ego stole his stake so if he kills the original that turned Rose then Stefan, Damon, Katherine, Caroline, and Bonnie’s mom will be dead.

Nail Of The Day- Love And Beauty Pewter

Nail Of The Day- Love And Beauty Pewter

This color is a metallic silver that has a ton of fine  glitter. The color really gives a great shine and stands out when you read it. For a store brand polish (sold at forever 21) it is great quality. I really love the packaging of it. This polish is sold for $2.80 and is a steal. If you love metallic bright nail polishes then this is the color for you!

Delirium- Book Review ( So Cool!)

 

Delirium- Book Review ( So Cool!)

The book that I just finished was Delirium by Lauren Olivier. The idea behind this book is weird but oddly cool. The setting is a futuristic dystopian society where they have considered love a disease that cause all the bad in the world. So what did they do find the cure for love. At 18 you get cured and then assigned a partner for marriage.

Here is the book trailer if this is something you feel like reading because the spoilers start now.

Spoilers-

I loved the quote used that Love hurts while your in it and hurts while your not. I just felt like it made you understand why people would think that way.  I loved Lena and Alex's relationship it really made Lena a better person. I honestly felt bad for her because her father was dead and her mother supposedly committed suicide but she didn't and everyone kept it a secret. You can sympathize with her because she never knew of love being anything but bad. Alex giving up his life for Lena to be free really shows you the extent of what love could be.

When she says at the end "I will try to resist there are many of us out there who refuse to stop believing who refuse to come to earth who love in a world without walls who love into hate into refusal against hope and without fear."

That made me want to cry especially when she said they couldn't take away their love. I think there might be a sequel and if there is I have to read it.

I loved this book and would totally recommend it.

The Hunger Games Movie -Review (Amazing)

The Hunger Games Movie -Review (Amazing)

I did read the book before seeing the movie which does make my understanding of it a lot better. I actually read it twice so that I could remember all the tributes names.

I felt that the movie was a pretty good interpretation of the book, there were some changes that I didn't like but we will get to that.

What I liked-

• I loved how the scene of Peeta giving Katniss the bread was spread out I don't know why but I thought how they unveiled it was good.
• I also liked how Katniss bought the pin and gave it to her sister it brought a little more depth and meaning to it.
• The visuals were really stunning especially the capitol. I loved the girl on fire dress I was afraid it wasn't going to be done well but it was perfect!
• Cinna was simply amazing that is all I have to say.
• The cornucopia was cool I pictured a giant golden cornucopia unrealistic lol but this made more sense.     

What I didn't like-

• They didn't explain the mocking jay. How it refereed to the rebellion and really mocked the capitol.
• Peeta lost his leg at the end of the book from the games and it really impacts Catching Fire, I know that is a weird thing to find wrong, okay I have problems but he needed to loose a leg.
• Katniss straight out tells him it was all an act that she didn't love him (She kinda did though) That is how the book ends which makes you want to read the sequel so bad to see how they move on.
• They didn't talk about Avox's which was talked a lot about because that is what happens to the traitors. Which at the end becomes a fear of Katniss' also her and Gale see them in the beginning.
• Also they never mentioned the 13th district which is foreshadowing!

I loved this book and movie. If you only saw the movie and didn't read the book go read it and the sequel Catching Fire.

Nail of The Day- Sinful Color's 24/7

Nail of The Day- Sinful Color's 24/7

This color is a neon pink color that really stand out. It is a bright pop of color that screams warm weather. In trend right now is bright neon pinks, yellows, and lime greens. Wearing this nail polish as an as your spring accessory will only cost you $2.99 at your local Walgreens.

This polish dries matte so put a top coat for a little shine. Be aware that it tends to be streaky so 2-3 coats are needed!

Have fun sporting this fun color!
What is your favorite spring/summer polish?

Weekly Review- The Vampire Diaries Ep317 Break On Through

The Vampire Diaries Ep317 Break On Through

Episode Summary

FAMILY HISTORIES - A century after their first encounter, Damon (Ian Somerhalder) and Sage (guest star Cassidy Freeman) meet again at the ceremony to kick-off the restoration of Wickery Bridge. Damon is surprised to learn the reason Sage has returned, and pleased when she devises an unusual method to help him figure out what Rebekah (guest star Claire Holt) is up to. Abby (guest star Persia White) is having a hard time adjusting to her new reality, despite Bonnie (Kat Graham) and Caroline's (Candice Accola) efforts to help. When Damon informs Elena (Nina Dobrev) of Stefan's (Paul Wesley) latest struggles, she reaches out to Stefan to help her save a friend in danger, in hopes that it will help bring Stefan even closer to his humanity. Finally, when Damon discovers a new secret weapon, he lets Stefan in on the news. Lance Anderson directed the episode written by Rebecca Sonnenshine.

 

 

My Review

The one thing you can always count on with Damon and the originals is that they are going to double cross each other. I kind of felt really bad for Sage for 900 years she waited for Fin and even when he came back he didn't want her. Alaric going crazy and trying to kill council members was okay I felt like the plot could have been better but he is saved by Bonnie for now. Bonnie's mother is just horrible. Her daughter needed her but she only cared about herself. I loved that Caroline got to try to help it really resolved some of her own parent issues that she didn't get to have when her father was turned. I enjoyed the whole Meredith story line I really liked the character from the books. I don't see much of point for the character in the show now that this is over. I thought this plot of Alaric going mad from the ring would make them have to bring Jeremy back but evidently not. It was so sad whe Elena called him and he moved on with his life.

I want Tyler and Jeremy to come back and for there to be some greater plot line than the Originals I am getting bored now!

I talk to you guys next week. The preview showed Damon and Stefan talking to Elena and Caroline about killing some originals let's see how that goes.

FanFiction

Fanfiction

Now for those of you who have never heard of fanfiction here is what it is: sites that have stories dedicated to the characters we love from movies, tv shows, and books that we just can't get enough of. Do you ever hate when you watch a movie and there is a cliff hanger but no sequel than wriet fanfiction to tell what you think should have happened. Or if a show gets canceled go a head and finish the plot the way you thought it was going to go. Put your two favorite characters together. Change things like if in New Moon maybe you think it would be better if Edward never came back to she was much older. Or just change the whole thing but keep the likeness of the charcters, Damon Katherine Stefan and Elena go to Vegas by the end of the trip who end up with who!

The point is that it is all up to you sometimes as a writer my self it is hard to create a plot you love but as a writer you are always thinking what if. And even if you love to read there are some amazing stories out there just waiting to be read.

Weekly Review~The Vampire Diaries

The Vampire Diaries
So I love everything and anything vampire related I am a die hard fan lol. Ever since Buffy the Vampire Slayer I have been hooked. So that leads me to another blog series I will be adding in. A weekly episode review of the Vampire Diaries which is on the CW. Which is based off of a novel by L.J Smith ( who also wrote the secret circle another show on the cw) that I have also read if you would like a review on it just comment below.  It is currently on the 3rd season but there is plenty of time to catch up it is an addicting show even if you don't like vampires, werewolves, and witches. There is a ton of drama including love triangles, family drama (it is hard to keep up with the family entanglements), and they are in high school most of them anyway which is hard to remember since they hardly go.)

You never know what you are gonna get. The writers love to leave you hanging and guess about what will happen.


I will post a review on this weeks episode on Friday!

The Vow- Movie Review (Loved it)

The Vow Movie Review

I went to see this movie a couple weeks ago way past Valentines Day and I actually enjoyed it. I liked that it wasn't just a chick flick there was actual drama and comedy in it that made it good. Channing Tatum and Rachel McAdams are both great actors who really brought the story to life and made you sympathize with the characters. The movies is based on true events which I found to be very cool. At certain times I thought McAdam's character was bitchy for not accepting the life she lived but I loved how even though she never really recovered her memory she still lived her life the way she was meant to be.
It was a pretty good movie that I recommend to see it wasn't just a couples movie I went to see it with two of my best friends! Shout out to Sam and Justine lol we got frozen yogurt before it! I was so full I didn't get popcorn this is crazy!

Forever 21- Strapless Black Dress (Haul)


The dress' actual name is Black Tie Strapless Dress
I am not so sure what kind of post this is but I wanted to show you guys the dress I bought for a Sweet Sixteen I have coming up in April. I wanted something that was sophisticated yet still fun so that I could dance and be comfortable in it. This dress was $24.80 which I thought was a bargain. I still haven't gotten shoes but I will be getting them soon. I really love it.


Here is the link to the dress-

Nail Of The Day- Avon's Illusion

Nail Of The Day- Avon's Illusion

This from the company Avon and is a Nail wear pro from the Enchanted Spring nail polish collection.
Illusion is such an odd color. It isn't for everyone but I like it. It can be described as grey but in some light it looks purple or green. It is the perfect spring color and for about 2.99 you can't go wrong.

Everneath- Book Review (Loved it)

Everneath by Brodi Ashton Check out her blog! http://brodiashton.blogspot.com/p/everneath.html

Here is the summary of the book from her site if you have never heard of this book before!

Last spring, Nikki Beckett vanished, sucked into an underworld known as the Everneath, where immortals Feed on the emotions of despairing humans. Now she's returned- to her old life, her family, her friends- before being banished back to the underworld... this time forever.

She has six months before the Everneath comes to claim her, six months for good-byes she can't find the words for, six months to find redemption, if it exists.

Nikki longs to spend these months reconnecting with her boyfriend, Jack, the one person she loves more than anything. But there's a problem: Cole, the smoldering immortal who first enticed her to the Everneath, has followed Nikki to the mortal world. And he'll do whatever it takes to bring her back- this time as his queen

 

So I loved it and I would totally recommend it and if you haven't read it and want to don't read on!

Check out the book trailer

 

 

Now Review Time YaY!****Spoilers****

 

I really loved this modern take on Greek mythology in such a different way. Much like Beastly it put a unique spin on a well known story. It references the Hades Persephone myth if you don't know it google it lol! I loved the little love triangle going on between Cole, Nikki, and Jack. Throughout the novel I kind of wanted her to go with Cole I know that would mean giving up her soul but I genuinely felt he loved her in some twisted way. But by the end of the novel I began to really love Jack.

 

So omg the end I kind of saw it coming but didn't want it to. I would really love a sequel to happen to find a way to get Jack out of the Everneath but also for Nikki to fall for Cole. I am glad though that Nikki didn't go under because I felt so bad for her little brother who would have lost both his mother and sister.

 

I loved this book and would love to know what you thought of it!

Truvia® Natural Sweetner Product Review ( Yum!)

Here is something you guys may or may not know about me I love coffee! I probably drink two cups of regular coffee made from the pot (In the morning and afternoon haha in case you wanted to know)!
But the really bad thing is that I love it really sweet. I always put a ton of sugar which is bad for me I know. To make matters worse diabetes runs through my family, my mom recently found out she had it. Now I have been trying to find different healthier alternatives from sugar.

I tried sweet & low and found it to be disgusting I can't figure out why people use it and then I used splenda which wasn't that bad but one package was way too sweet and I wasn't the biggest fan of it.
Then when I got truvia I loved it and am definitely going to repurchase it because it wasn't overly sweet but still had a wonderful taste. I would recommend this to anyone trying to kick their sugar habit. I also heard that it is really good for cooking and baking. I have yet to try that but I will.

Kiss Nail Dress Review! (So Pretty)

I didn't take the picture!

This is a great new alternative to nail polish. They are quick to put on once you first do a few and they last pretty long and you don't have to worry about chipping. Can be applied on both fingers and toes. They are funky and different from just plain old nail polish. There are foil ones and then the gem ones.

Application-

Follow the directions on the package!

But I have a few extra tips get a nail scissor or a regular scissor but one for nails is much more easier to work with.  You will need this to cut a away the excess. It says to file it away but if your nails aren't that long you will have a lot to file.

Also keep filing! If you have the gem one it might be a little hard but the rough edge will slowly go away!

Make sure you nails are clean with nothing on them!

Once on if they start coming off just press them down for a few seconds.

The Facts-

You get 28 strips and a nail file with a buffer side.

18 different styles.

Stays for 10 days.

 Retails for $6.99 and is available in all major drug chains and mass retailers like WalMart, CVS and Walgreens.

***I recieved this product free from Ifluenster.com but you can sign up too for free***

Music- Florence + The Machine

If Someone was to ask me my favorite band it is hands down Florence + The Machine. If you haven't heard of the band name before you might have heard their music featured in many different promos and movies/ tv shows such as the Eat,Pray,Love comercial and The Vampire Diaries promos and episodes. Their song Heavy In Your Arms was on the Twilight Saga Eclipse Sound Track. The Lead vocals are sung by Florence Welch who is an amazing singer. She sings with so much emotion and it is breathtaking you can't help but getting caught up in the song lyrics. The songs are magical and also haunting.
