HUNGER GAMES COUNTDOWN

2012-03-20T19:39:00.002-07:00

Okay, let's be real. Who is beyond the roof, through the walls, up and down the stairs EXCITED FOR HUNGER GAMES IN THEATERS THIS FRIDAY MARCH 23?

K sorry for the excessive caps, but I felt it was only suitable to transcend my excitement into typed words. I adored the books series and now that the movie is coming out in days, I am so beyond excited for it. There will probably be screams, tears, joy, excitement, all the above.

My thoughts on the book:
It's such a suspenseful story that is surrounded by such an eclectic plot so beyond the breach of humanity. Honestly it's addicting to anyone that begins to read it, it's a quick read but a very enjoyable one at that.

Just the fatal and dangerous setting that these children are thrust into, man vs. man, kill or be killed. It's so insane and different from our experiences in real life, but that's exactly why we're drawn to this alternate future dystopian world. It is so different yet so relatible. We feel as if we're in District 12, surrounded by the dust from the coal mines, as if we're feeling Katniss' pain, living through her eyes. It's surreal.

Not to mention such a dynamic twisted love story that is both staged yet so pure and true. It's so different from any other love story and it's so amiable to see the compassion and longing that Peeta has for Katniss. The confused feelings that hit Katniss when she doesn't know if Peeta is acting or is truly in love with her. Not to mention so much pressure is placed upon this love: sponsors, gamemakers, panem.

What are your thoughts on the cast?

My thoughts on Peeta:
I really like the choice casting of Josh Hutcherson. Honestly, n real life he is so charming, level headed, and sweet. Basically, he is Peeta. Love him so much. TEAM PEETA! Some people say he's short, but I like to say his small height cannot contain all his talent and charm! Because seriously, he's been in this industry since age 9, he's good at it. And he's a hottie.

My thoughts on Katniss:
I love this choice as well. I can really envision Jennifer Lawrence bring the role of Katniss to fruition. She is very sweet, genuine, and funny. It really shows through in her interviews and she's gorgeous. Very befitting of this role for sure! Great actor too.

My thoughts on Gale:
Well....all Gale really has to do is be strong and handsome and Liam Hemsworth is exactly that. So I like this casting. Nuff said.

But anyway, are you TEAM PEETA OR TEAM GALE?
(I'm Team Peeta all the way to the moon AND back. mhm yup, and back.)

Calling All Skin Junkies: Oily and Dry! Want a Drink of Water for your Face?

2012-02-26T15:12:00.002-08:00

My Review on Garnier Nutrioniste Moisture Rescue Refreshing Gel Cream
Well that was a mouthful wasn't it?

This has been the moisturizer that I have been using for the past 5 months and I absolutely love it! I doesn't make your skin feel overly greasy yet it gives enough hydration even for dry skin types. The packaging is pretty nice and sturdy and the consistency of the gel is very refreshing and it gives you a cool tingly sensation, not too much though. The original reason I wanted to get this was because I heard the grape water extract would be a great refresher and cooler for irritated red skin, which is what I had, and it worked! I don't think I will ever go to another moisturizer, in fact I have already finished my first container, now I'm onto the second and I even have a backup! Yes I'm a little crazy.

Pros

Gives enough hydration for dry skin types

Does not feel greasy on skin even for oily skin types

Grape water extract refreshes and cools down irritated red skin

Great for applying over/under/with foundation if you have a flakey or dry spot

Leaves skin feeling light, supple and smooth and hydrated

Soaks in quickly

Hasn't ever broken me out

Cons

It's a bit pricey for the amount, I got it for $10 and used one container in about 3 months (depends on how frequently you apply though)
The glass pot may not be the most hygienic way of packaging

So ladies and even gents, I would truly recommend this moisturizer to you all. It has worked well for me personally, and I'm not guaranteeing it will do wonders for you as well because everyone's skin is uniquely different. So maybe do some research before you bite the bullet and go out to purchase this. But I say it's definitely worth a try!
What's your fave moisturizer?

Crepes! They're always so beautiful and scrumptious looking

Sushi! Isn't this just everyone's favorite? Get those omega fatty acids from those fish and enjoy it too!

Bubble tea! I would say it's an asian thing but it's probably not, everyone adores bubble tea, aka bobba

Green tea! It may not taste great to everyone but it's so healthy for you and a great alternative to coffee

Starbucks Green tea Frappucino! Holy mother of drinks, this is so heavenly, great treat for once and a while
