Caution; Spoiler Alert

Foul-mouthed mutant mercenary Wade Wilson (AKA. Deadpool), brings together a team of fellow mutant rogues to protect a young boy with supernatural abilities from the brutal, time-traveling cyborg, Cable.

Staring;

Ryan Reynolds as Wade Wilson/Deadpool/Voice of Juggernaut

Josh Brolin as Cable

Morena Baccarin as Vanessa

Julian Dennison as Firefist

Zazie Beetz as Domino

T.J. Miller as Weasel

Leslie Uggams as Blind Al

Karan Soni as Dopinder

Brianna Hildebrand as Negasonic Teenage Warhead

Eddie Marsan as Headmaster

Storyline;

After losing the love of his life, 4^th wall-breaking mercenary Wade Wilson aka Deadpool must protect Russel, must assemble a team of mutants and protect Russel from Cable, a no-nonsense, dangerous cyborg from the future and Deadpool must learn the most important lesson of all, to be part of a family again.

Thoughts;

The thing I enjoyed about the first one was the campy-ness of it. The silly things that deadpool would do and say. The movie kept your attention and didn't really stop until the end.



In this 2^nd installment, it starts like this, but then goes south quickly. We see Vanessa die and Deadpool try and kill himself, of course this doesn't work as he can't die. He is saved and becomes an X-Men trainee, his first call is to a school where Firefist is going a little fire crazy. In an attempt to save him, Deadpool himself ends up in the “Ice Box” with the kid.



Here he starts to die because the collar they use doesn't allow him to use his super powers which is not being able to die. Things again go south when Cable shows up.



He assembles a team of “super hero's” to launch a prison break to save the kid, his entire team but himself and Domino die (this part was super funny and even featured a cameo from a very famous actor).



Of course, the kid is saved, Deadpool doesn't die and Cable is now stuck. This movie was actually fine, until the end. All of a sudden, everything just stopped and the movie went to morals and life lessons and blah blah blah. Now what I expected.

Bohemienne Life (formerly Alamo Candelaria) https://bohemiennelife.bigcartel.com/

Charming Candles http://www.charmingcandles.net/shop

This vendor is still open and interests me. It seems that there were a smaller business that is now a bigger business.

Sweet Sage Scents https://sweetsagescents.bigcartel.com/

My wax friend has sent me some of this vendor, I would still be interested in placing an order during one of their openings.

Gem Delights http://gemdelightscandles.com/

I have still have yet to try this vendor, I find that her prices are a little high and it turns me off to it.

Up The Creek Scents https://upthecreekscents.com/

I have always wanted to try this vendor and I just never have, I'm not sure why at this point but I will place an order someday!

Two Timing Tart https://twotimingtart.com/

I have been watching this vendor for some time, I love her theme, I love her scent descriptions and names, I remember seeing on called “Vampires don't fucking sparkle”. It seems that she never has any stock on her web site and is harder to order from

Night Owl Candle http://www.nightowlcandleco.com/

I remember when this vendor first opened, I have still have yet to order. They've been on my radar for awhile and I've tried them through swaps and such a few times but would love to place an order

Hidden Holler Candles & Wax https://www.hiddenhollercandles.com/

I was surprised to see this vendor on my list to try! I was able to receive some of this wax from a local swap that I had done, I won't be placing any other orders with this vendor but am very glad I was able to try them out

Candles from the Keeping Room http://candlesfromthekeepingroom.com/

This is another vendor that I've watched from afar for while, this is a vendor who does “restocks” and it's a mad house trying to order along with all the other people. I don't play that game and as much as I'd like to try them, I won't be ordering.

The Bathing Garden https://www.thebathinggarden.com/

My wax friend has sent me several scents to try out. I feel like the sizes have been enough to truly try this vendor out, I still may end up placing a smaller order in the future

Me Time Melts https://metimemelts.com/

I see that this vendor is still open and I've heard nothing about them recently, I hope to place an order with them

Fuss Ass McGee https://www.artfire.com/ext/shop/home/fussassmcgee

I ordered from this vendor once and I truly liked everything that I had received, I hope to place another order when they open

Bohemienne Life (formerly Alamo Candelaria) https://bohemiennelife.bigcartel.com/
This vendor was on my list for the longest time when they were Alamo Candelaria, There wax and packaging looked so cute, but I lost touch for a bit and just recently found out that they changed their name. My wax friend is going to send me some of their famous wax crack and I can't wait to melt it!

In a post-apocalyptic world, a family is forced to live in silence while hiding from monsters with ultra-sensitive hearing

Staring;

Emily Blunt as Evelyn Abbott

John Krasinski as Lee Abbott

Millicent Simmonds as Regan Abbott

Noah Jupe as Marcus Abbott

Cade Woodward as Beau Abbott

Storyline;

Two parents do what it takes to keep their children safe in a world full of creatures hunting every sound they can hear. Not a sound can be heard from the family hiding in silence, but all it takes is one noise and everything can go wrong

Thoughts;

Although I wish there had been a little bit more back story, this movie was awesome! It was both terrifying and entertaining at the same time. Since the aliens go by sound, the entire movie was done in sign language and you have to either read the words or know sign language to follow it, which is a normal a “no” for me, but this movie was certainly an exception.



The characters play off each other perfectly.



The movie starts out with the family exploring threw an abandon store. There are 3 kids and the 2 parents, one of the children, Regan, is deaf. Sign language is used here for the first time and throughout the movie. The youngest child, Beau, is wanting a rocket ship. On the way out of the store, Lee (the father) sees the toy. He takes out the batteries and signs to Beau that it's “Too loud”. He sets both the toy and the batteries on the counter. Regan gives him just the rocket ship back and turns to walk out of the store, Beau grabs the batteries and continues walking.



When the family gets to a foot bridge Beau gets the batteries back into the rocket and it immediately makes loud noises, Lee runs towards him but doesn't make it before an alien swoops Beau up.



The movie then cuts to hundreds of days later where Evelyn is pregnant. Everything things to be going ok but while Lee and Marcus are out, things take a turn when Evelyn both goes into labor and steps onto an exposed nail. She makes noise which draws the aliens in. From here on out, it's a fight for survival.



I won't tell anymore of the movie from here as it would be telling the entire movie, if your into these types of movies you'll have to watch it for yourself.

Thoughts;

I have heard stories of this vendor going way over TAT and not answering messages or emails. I wasn't really sure what to expect but really wanted to try them out.

Per the web site, the TAT was 10 days and it truly was about that. Some is recently poured and some seems to be leftovers from a previous re-stock, which is totally fine and most vendors will do mystery packages like this.

There are only two scents that I don't like, which with a mystery box isn't bad at all.

Everything came very well packaged, the labels are super cute and the website is actually super easy to order from.

Book; Ghostly Tales Wisconsin (August 5, 2009)

Ghostly Tales Wisconsin

Author; Ryan Jacobson
Came out; August 5, 2009
Read on; Nook App
Rating; Per Amazon 4.5/5

Caution; Spoiler Alert

It's been called the most haunted state in America. Find out why! This incomparable collection features only the scariest, most surprising ghostly tales of the Badger State. From a house so haunted it was featured on national television to a road where a werewolf is said to reside, it's all inside this book. Best of all, the 28 stories were written with a campfire in mind, so they're perfect for sharing aloud

Thoughts;

This book was super easy to read. It flowed nicely and it not only told about the rumors surrounding the places but also told of the authors own experiences.



Place to place it started at what each place was known for. Anything that is said to have happened, the research that was done by the author and what they experienced when they visited.
