She had posted this on her faccebook group as a flash sale. It took almost a month to receive it, however look at how huge these chunks are! I truly wasn’t expecting them to be so large!!

Even the scents I don’t normally like smell good.

You can order from her store openings, but even then it can take some time to receive your order. She is a very busy vendor with tons of customers, super cute wax and wonderful scents!

Batman V Superman; Dawn of Justice


Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016) Poster


Came out; 2016
Time; 151 Minutes

Watched on; Demand

Rating; PG-13 for intense sequences of violence and action throughout and some sensuality

IMDB Rating; 6.8/10
Rotten Tomatoes Score; Tomatometer; 27%, Average Rating; 4.9/10, Reviews Counted 346, Fresh; 95, Rotten; 251. 64% Liked it.

Caution; Spoiler Alert


Synopsis; Fearing that the actions of Superman are left unchecked, Batman takes on the Man of Steel, while the world wrestles with what kind of hero it really needs.


Staring;
Ben Affleck as Bruce Wayne/Batman
Henry Cavill as Clark Kent/Superman
Amy Adams as Lois Lane
Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor
Diane Lane as Martha Kent
Laurence Fishburne as Perry White
Jeremy Irons as Alfred
Holly Hunter as Senator Finch
Gal Gadot as Diana Prince/Wonder Woman



Thoughts;
Ok, I didn’t pick this movie, nor would I have. This was all my husband, he said there was nothing better to watch, I’m sure anything would have been better.

Here’s what I liked about it; Jesse Eisenberg plans crazy very well.

Here’s what I didn’t like; the rest of the movie!

I can’t even tell you the plot, because I really don’t get it, the entire movie was back and forth and so confusing! Half the time I didn’t know what city we were in, Gothem or New York, I do know at one time we were in the desert!

When I was a kid, I loved wonder woman, I wanted to be wonder woman! She was several years of Halloween costumes for me, but she didn’t belong in this movie at all!

The cast was wrong, the plot, whatever that was, was wrong. The movie was too long and confusing. If you want to watch this, buckle up and pay attention, maybe you can figure it out!

Product Review; Tsum Tsum Advent Calendar

I think these are the cutest things and my kids will love them. I decided to do a review. I will hopefully remember to update this blog starting December 1st when the kids first start to open each box.

What is it?; Disney Tsum Tsum Countdown to Christmas Advent Calendar

Where did I get it?: Amazon

Price; $29.99 with free prime shipping

I am sure the price of these will go up starting in November when people really start getting into the holiday shopping. I am sure they will be hard to find except for on Ebay for $100’s of dollars!

Per the box, this is what is included;
1 Advent Calendar
6 Large Figures with 6 Holiday Head Pieces
6 Medium Figures in Holiday Attire
6 Small Figures and 6 Holiday Themed Stackable Accessories

I am pretty happy so far with these, although I didn’t open the box. I suspect that the actual calendar is cardboard.





Day 1; Minnie Mouse medium figure
Day 2: Star for a mini figure
Day 3: Bambi medium figure with a cute little Christmas headband
Day 4: A cute sparkly white cat mini figure

As you can tell, after Day 4 I got super busy and just wasn't able to keep up with what they got each day. Everything was very cute, my only thought was, the box itself. Although a super cute idea at the end it was pretty flimsy.

Wax; Chloe N' Me; Custom Loaves

Vendor; Chloe N’ Me
Order; September 2016 Order

Facebook; Chloe & Me Candles Group
Owner; Staci Culp

YouTube Reveals;



What I Received;
4 very amazing custom loaves!

1.     Dinosaurs in the scents; Gummy Bears, Fruit Loops & Cotton Candy
2.     Cats & Dogs in the scents; Cherry Bomb Vanilla Bean Noel
3.     Disney Descendants in the scents; Vanilla Bean Noel Pink Sugar
4.     Star Wars in the scents; Blueberry Birthday Cake Fizzy Pop



Thoughts;
The TAT is a little longer with these, however she has to find the right decorations for your theme request, then make the product and put it all together. One thing I’ve learned about Staci is that she is a perfectionist and everything has to be just right, which is totally ok when it comes to these loaves!

Chadwick Boseman as T’Challa/Black Panther
Paul Bettany as Vision
Elizabeth Olsen as Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch
Paul Rudd as Scott Lang/Ant-Man
Emily Vancamp as Sharon Carter
Tom Holland as Peter Parker/Spider-Man



Thoughts;
First off, this movie was way too long. I feel like I missed a movie, and maybe I did with all the new characters in this one. And I’m sorry, but what the heck was spider-man and ant-man doing?!

There was way too much “in” fighting between the members. They could have cut all that in half and the movie would have been much better and way easier to follow.

The thing that I do love about these movies, besides the action/adventure and the cast is that they seem like they could be a family, the bantering between the characters, the love that they show for each other. It’s great.

Thoughts;
This movie was super cute! This was one of those  movies where they show some of the funniest parts in the previews, I dislike when they do that and wish they’d leave some out.

All in all, loved the details. For instance, big cat in a little box.

It was action packed, lots going on but very fun movie for the kids to watch.

The movie starts out with the owners leaving and showing what each different pet does while. It just gets cuter from there!
