Thoughts;
Creative Enchantment is a little pricey. She will list palm wax candles for $60, with no jewelry. BUT, her wax and scents are wonderful.

I ordered two of my favorite scents in candles, a 3rd, Sweet Vanilla Honey was not available.

This owl was the coolest thing. I decided to go and ahead and buy it. It was packed full of wax melts. It was so carefully packed that I couldn’t get the wax melts to fit back into the owl!

Anna and I have had our differences in opinion over candle jars. Well, I used the small owls that she was using at the time. As a vendor I try to come up with my own ideas and do my own thing. My intent is to never copy anyone, however when it comes to candle jars, multiple vendors will have the same thing.

Anna has recently been “Black Listed” by a well known “Wax Reviewer”. This is truly unfair as her business ethics should be based on; how customers are treated, how is the wax, customer service? Yes, word of mouth plays a huge role in who you purchase wax from, but using someones word based on your opinion doesn’t allow you to reach out and find things that you yourself like.


I encourage everyone to try this vendor, she has beautiful jewelry and scents

**Updated** After the posting of my video, I have been re-invited into the facebook group. I am truly grateful for it because I love this vendor!

Synopsis; A woman goes into Japan’s suicide forest to find her twin sister, and confronts supernatural terror.


Staring;
Natalie Dormer as Sara/Jess Price
Eoin Macken as Rob
Stephanie Vogt as Valerie
Taylor Kinney as Aiden



Thoughts;
Although there were tons of people in this movie, really only the 4 listed about stood out. The main character is Natalie Dormer who plays both Sara and Jess.

It doesn’t really start off slow, you get what’s going on with the sisters in the very beginning of the movie, there are flash backs and little stories that tell you exactly what happened.

Sara decides to fly to Japan to find her twin sister Jess. Turns out according to a call from the Japanese police, her sister was last seen entering the Aokigahara Forest, which is known for it’s mass amounts of suicides.

I looked this up, and have heard stories of this forest, located at the base of Mount Figi before, but looking it again there are tons of crazy stories and pictures.

With the help of a reporter and his friend, who search the woods often for bodies, Sara goes into the forest, the go off the main trail and find Jess’s tent. Two of them spend the night and that’s when the real terror begins.


This movie was ok. It wasn’t super scary, but it was creepy.

Staring;
Olivia DeJonge as Becca
Ed Oxenbould as Tyler
Deanna Dunagan as Nana
Peter McRobbie as Pop Pop
Kathryn Hahn as Mom



Thoughts;
I remember seeing the previews for this movie and it looked so good and creepy. It didn’t disappoint in that area at all. The whole movie we were trying to figure out if it was aliens or what was really going on. The twist truly was when the mother on Skype said “Honey, those aren’t your Grandparents”. Then you knew, but when Becca goes into the basement and finds the bodies do you really get what’s going on.


All in all, this movie played out quite well. The only thing that really got me was the way it was filmed, where the filming was done by the kids as a documentary type. That is way old and film makers need to stop making movies like that.

Synopsis; Arthur Bishop thought he had put his murderous past behind him when his most formidable foe kidnaps the love of this life. Now he is forced to travel the globe to complete three impossible assassinations, and do what he does best, make them look like accidents.


Staring;
Jason Statham as Arthur Bishop
Jessica Alba as Gina
Tommy Lee Jones as Max Adams
Michelle Yeoh as Mei
Sam Hazeldine as Crain



Thoughts;
This was a movie my husband picked out. I’ve seen the first one but honestly don’t remember it at all. It was an action packed movie for sure, as they usually are when Jason Statham is involved. I choose to watch these movies for the eye candy.

I’m still confused by the part where it says “The love of his life” the movie made it seem like they only knew each other for a few days or even weeks.

Synopsis; A young couple adopt an orphaned child whose dreams and nightmares manifest physically as he sleeps.


Staring;
Thomas Jane as Mark
Jacob Tremblay as Cody
Annabeth Gish as Natalie
Kate Bosworth as Jessie



Thoughts;
The synopsis is actually wrong as the couple doesn’t adopt, they foster. What is interesting about this movie is you kinda get what’s going on from the very beginning. I’d call it ok and since it wasn’t scary at all probably wouldn’t watch it again.

Caution; Spoiler Alert


Synopsis; An American nanny is shocked that her new English family’s boy is actually a life-sized doll. After she violates a list of strict rules, disturbing events make her believe that the doll is really alive.


Staring;
Lauren Cohan as Greta Evans
Rupert Evans as Malcolm
James Russell as Brahms
Jim Norton as Mr. Heelshire
Diana Hardcastle as Mrs. Heelshire
Ben Robson as Cole
Jett Klyne as Brahms (Child)



Thoughts;
Of course, big creepy house, older weird couple and being in the middle of nowhere are going to make for some creepy things.

Based on previews of the movie when we are first introduced to Brahms, we know it’s a doll, however it’s a rather creepy doll of course.

After the doll is covered right away on the first night strange things start to happen. Throughout the rest of the movie it’s hard to figure out if the doll is just possessed or if something else is going on.

I have questions that were unanswered. Do the old couple know that there is actually someone living in their walls and that it’s their son? Why do they go off to kill themselves? I feel like I missed something.

All in all it was pretty good. A little slow at times and a little “WTF” at times too.
