Staring;

Thoughts;
Creepy. A perfect “What would you do movie”.  It’s a pretty slow and dragged out movie, however the guy was very creepy.

There were really only 4 people in the entire movie, and the events and situations were enough to make your skin crawl.

Would I watch it again; Yes

Would I recommend you watch it; Yes, but only if you like survival movies

It sounded way more interesting than it actually was. At first it even wasn’t that bad, you knew something was going to happen when the mother kicked Sarah out of the house.

It got weird. When I saw weird, I mean fake, invisible zombie weird.

Would I watch it again; No
Would I recommend you watch it; Sure, if you want to laugh

I was RAOK’d the scent Mystical Scents around the holidays and I loved it. I had put myself on a ban and had left the group for a bit. I lifted myself and contacted Terri about the scent description. I still can’t figure out if she uses a bottle or if she custom mixes it but it’s so good and different.

Staring;
Reese Witherspoon as Cooper
Sofia Vergara as Daniella Riva
Matthew Del Negro as Detective Hauser
Michael Mosley as Detective Dixon
Robert Kazinsky as Randy


Thoughts;
I was pretty excited when my husband (yes, my husband) picked out this movie to watch. I like Sofia Vergara in Modern Family, she is funny and Reese Witherspoon is a good actress.

It had some funny, good parts. Typical cop protects someone who turns out to be a “bad” or semi bad person.

I feel as though they could have added more to this movie and made is much funnier than it actually was. I did like how they kept adding to sofia’s age and making Reese smaller on every news cast shown, that was about the funniest part of the movie.

Would I watch it again; Yes

Would I recommend you watch it; Sure, why not!

Thoughts;
This was another movie my husband grabbed off netflix. Look at this crazy all star cast.

I realize that this movie received bad reviews and there were things in the media regarding the “Indians” but come on, Quinton has made movies with more contraversary than this!

It was actually very funny, there were times when I laughed so hard I had tears in my eyes. Taylor Lautner was great, he has certainly proved that he can do more than twilight!

Wax; Chloe N' Me; Mermaid Mystery Box

Vendor; Chloe N’ Me
Order; June Mermaid Mystery Box

Owner; Staci Culp

YouTube Reveals;


What I Received;
·        Mermaid Coloring Sheet
·        A bracelet with a fork
·        A Mermaid tart in “Apple Pie”
·        A bag of tarts in “Blueberry Cobbler”
·        A bag of tarts in “Fruit Loops”
·        A loaf in “Zucchini Bread, Birthday Cake, Chocolate Brownie & Caramel Cake Batter”
·        Body Spray & Lotion in “Chocolate Chip, Birthday Cake, Cotton Candy Frosting”


Thoughts;
I have had Chloe N’ Me before, however it had been RAOK’d to me. It’s amazing and she make super good wax. She can be sometimes hard to catch with her “restocks” and while I don’t generally play that restock game with wax vendors I waited until she had a mystery box available. I grabbed one up. I choose bakery and am now thinking I should have choose floral.

I love the body spray and lotion scent, however the apple and blueberry scents aren’t really my type. I was hoping for chocolate, cake or something on that line. I would love the loaf, however it has Zucchini Bread in it which I really dislike, it’s totally ok since my daughter will take these scents and melt them in her room AND it was a mystery box so you never know what you are going to get.

I would totally recommend her wax as it’s cute and smells great!

Thoughts;
My husband wanted to watch this. Based on the newer Adam Sandler movies I would have passed. I used to be a fan, The Water Boy & Happy Gilmore are two of my favorites, but lately they’ve just been bad. This one however was pretty good.

It was funny, serious, sad and dark all at once. I did not expect it to go in the direction that it did but glad that it ended “good”. All in all I’d say this was a good one, in no way a classic, but it was good.
