I HEART SPRING TAG!

Hello, hello. 

Well, I'm transitioning into something new. I've always seen this all over the Internets. I've been waiting for Spring like FOREVER. So I'm a little excited. Well, maybe, a little more than a little excited. I love Spring, hence the title I Heart Spring.

So here we go.

1. What is your favorite Spring nail polish?

That would have to be Wet 'N Wild Heatwave, its a orange-y, fall type color, but for Spring I really like reds and oranges and pale pinks. 

Here's what it looks like:

2. What is your must have lip color for Spring?

Again, I love reds and pinks and such. But I really love Wet N Wild's Black Orchid. It last a looong time, but it's really messy. Very messy and also, its not really hydrating, so if you want it, put a balm on first. That'd be best. Its not super, super dark and comes out lighter it looks, but its only a dollar. Which is super good for a dollar. I love bright, bright colors for the spring. Yes!

3. Show us your favorite Spring dress? 

I'm really loving this trend of long-sleeved flowy dresses. Florals are great for the Spring time and I have a dress that looks really similar to the one in the middle, but I got it while thrifting and I'm way too lazy to go take a picture of it, so there it is. They're light and airy for the weather around here since it goes from hot to cool to hot again in a matter of seconds. 

4. What is your favorite flower?

I really do love tulips. They're grown all around here and all over. Most people love to grow them and I love to see them. They're so cute. I see them everywhere and I'm just like. Oh my gosh, I love them. Yes.

5. Favorite Spring Accessory?

I'm not one for accessories. Well, I believe that they're okay, but they don't make an outfit completely. But I do really love those handmade, cloth bracelets and I do love watches as well. I've been wearing a lot of them, mainly to tell the time, but they look cute as well. And my friend went to Mexico and got a bunch of little Hispanic bracelets so I put them on and they automatically cheer me up and make my outfits a LITTLE better.

6. Favorite Spring Trends?
I really have been seeing a lot of camo, a lot of stripes, black and white particularly, but still. I see it everywhere and after a while, I broke down and bought a pair of black and white striped pants from Forever 21. They fit so heavenly, but I am really bad with anything white. Very bad because my lunch consists of cheese fries, so I don't wear them often. I usually don't like Forever 21 pants either, THEY'RE STEPPING UP.



7. Favorite Candle?
No me gusta candles, I just spray a little bit of Febreeze and open a window and I'm good. Do you know any candles that are good? I really like cookies and sweet smelling scents.

8. Favorite Body Spray and Perfume?
Na son. I don't use a lot of this because I don't have gym, but I do use this Victoria's Secret  Garden Love Spell body spray because you do know how us women get a little smelly, smelly some times. *spray* spray*

10. What's your favorite thing about Spring?
Ummmm. I really do love the weather. I love that I'm able to wear dresses and skirts and sandals even though my feet look horrible and I have to constantly keep my toes painted. I also do love that I can go out to the beach and show skin, even though I have to shave. GOD!! But still, looking hot is worth it. 

It is.

11. Are you a Spring cleaner?
I'm an all year round cleaner, I'm just a big OCD, so I must have everything in its place at all times and if it has been moved I will literally go crazy.

Really, its not pretty.

And lastly,

Any plans for upcoming Spring Break or Vaycay?

I went to the Autism Walk they had downtown and I really did have A LOT of fun, it was great to see all the people there, see a lot of places, have good food, hear good music. It was really fun, but I really don't think I am going to do anything else. 

So yeah, that was the I HEART SPRING TAG. I hope you enjoyed this, follow me on BlogLovin now since Google Reader is going BYE BYE.

TOODLES.

The Great Gatsby: Book or Movie?

Hello, hello all.

Well today, we are going to talk about....

Dun, dun, dun, dun, duuuuun.

The Great Gatsby!

I haven't seen the movie yet, but I will, I will. Regardless if it's now, or in two weeks, or until it comes on Redbox and I get un-lazy and go and get it. 

BUT I will. But should I see the movie or just go and read the book first!? 

All I get from my friends are mixed answers. What should I do? I know I'm in high school and I probably should have ALREADY read the book, but my teacher sucks. 

Like seriously, we haven't done a think you'd think was "literary." I hope she doesn't see this.

But yeah, I feel like I should read the book, but I honestly don't know. When I read the book, I feel better about seeing the movie and then I'll have no doubts when I compare the movie to the book.

If I see the movie first, then I'm like:

And after I read the book, I'm like:

I did that with Twilight and never even finished the series.

So help, please!?

Reasons Why Catching Fire Annoys Me

Hello.

Hey.

Well I want to talk about...

This book.

And why I want to chuck it out a window at most points.

Like seriously. 

But then I would have to go and pick it up since I'd would need to finish the book. NEED TO.

I mean I enjoyed the book, but there were so many things that made me angry. Not at the author for writing it, but for the book's content.

-Spoilers-

1. The Games: The Games seemed way to short, whether or not it was a rebellion or whatever was going on. I mean, it didn't have too much going on like in the first book. I was ready for more action, but I guess I have to wait.

2. President Snow: Can he just die? Can we kill his character off? He was so annoying all throughout the book. I just...UGH. Nothing to describe how I feel about this man. I just loathe him.

3. Pregnancy. So...Katniss was "pregnant" and you still put her in THE HUNGER GAMES, THE FREAKING HUNGER GAMES. WTF!

4. I wanted more out of this book, more character development. More everything.It didn't let me down, but it didn't live up to the first book.

And that's all.

Book Review: Imposter By Jill Hathaway

Impostor By Jill Hathaway

Date Published: March 26, 2013 By Balzer + Bray

Page Numbers: 278 Pages

Source: Library

Format: Hardback

Cover Love: I think I like the English cover better than the US cover since this one is kind of boring, in my opinion.

Summary: What if a killer took control of you?

Vee Bell’s gift (or curse) of “sliding”—slipping into the mind of another person and experiencing life, briefly, through his or her eyes—has been somewhat under control since she unwillingly witnessed the horrific deaths of her classmates six months ago.

But just as things are getting back to normal, Vee has a very bizarre experience: she loses consciousness and finds herself in a deserted area, at the edge of a cliff, with the broken body of the boy who took advantage of her on the rocks below.

As Vee finds herself in stranger and stranger situations with no memory of getting there, she begins to suspect that someone she knows has the ability to slide—and that this “slider” is using Vee to exact revenge on his or her enemies.

My Thoughts: I haven't read a book sequel that I liked more than the original book, it's really scary. But I did, it was really nice to read and I did like it more than Slide. I enjoy that it got more into depth about her sliding and I liked that. I originally thought Slide was just a standalone, that's why I didn't like it as much. But now that I know it makes it a little bit better.

Anyways, I really enjoyed this book, I'd already bonded with Vee in the last book, but with this book a lot of new characters, I was in heaven. The way these characters are, it just makes me want to be friends with them. Plus this was a fast read, I don't know if it was the length, considering it was over 200 pages, but I read it in a couple of hours. It was twist after twist, after twist and I loved it. I mean how can you not love a good mystery.

I've been lacking some of these recently. I also really want to know more about Vee, so maybe there will be a another book in the works. I'm definitely reading it.

Awkward's return to MTV. Love it? Like it? Hate it?

Well, Awkward is officially back and I don't know what to say about it.

The first episode really did pack a punch. And I feel that this season is really doing to be good, better than the others actually. BUT! I feel that they should have done this way before this 3rd season. 

It feels as if the season is dragging and that so much is being put into this season and I really don't want it to go to fast. This like a teenage New Girl with drama, drama, drama.

It's funny and its well, awkward, which works for this.

Mtv actually got it right this time. Which is surprising because of the fact they're making Scream into a tv series.

Scream.



It's ridiculous, but this is the real reason why MTV isn't dead to me. I like this season way better than 1 or 2 so far. So yeah, how do you think Awkward is going?

Waiting on Wednesday: More and More Jennifer Brown

Waiting On Wednesday

Hello, hello. And I am back this week yet again with my Waiting on Wednesday in which I talk about books, my favorite thing to do.

Of course.

And as you may know, I have a tad obsession with a little lady named Jennifer Brown and her writings. 

And this week, I have to mention:

A Thousand Words by Jennifer Brown

Summary: Ashleigh's boyfriend, Kaleb, is about to leave for college, and Ashleigh is worried that he'll forget about her while he's away. So at a legendary end-of-summer pool party, Ashleigh's friends suggest she text him a picture of herself -- sans swimsuit -- to take with him. Before she can talk herself out of it, Ashleigh strides off to the bathroom, snaps a photo in the full-length mirror, and hits "send." 

But when Kaleb and Ashleigh go through a bad breakup, Kaleb takes revenge by forwarding the text to his baseball team. Soon the photo has gone viral, attracting the attention of the school board, the local police, and the media. As her friends and family try to distance themselves from the scandal, Ashleigh feels completely alone -- until she meets Mack while serving her court-ordered community service. Not only does Mack offer a fresh chance at friendship, but he's the one person in town who received the text of Ashleigh's photo -- and didn't look. 

Acclaimed author Jennifer Brown brings readers a gripping novel about honesty and betrayal, redemption and friendship, attraction and integrity, as Ashleigh finds that while a picture may be worth a thousand words . . . it doesn't always tell the whole story.

My Thoughts: Three words: Jennifer FREAKING Brown. That's all there's to say about it because she's freaking amazing.

BUT, her name Ash-le-ig-h, her name has too many syllables. I don't like it.

Good day, People.

Movie Review: The Host

The Host (2013)

Starring: Saoirse Ronan, Max Irons, Jake Abel, Emily Browning

Summary: When an unseen enemy threatens mankind by taking over their bodies and erasing their memories, Melanie will risk everything to protect the people she cares most about, proving that love can conquer all in a dangerous new world.

My Thoughts: I saw this yesterday and originally I had some sort of expectation for it to be good, but I didn't expect it to be as good as it was. And I usually don't like Sci-Fi anything, this kept me interested and I enjoyed it althroughout the movie. I was not let down. It was dynamic, I enjoyed the fact that the two people were living in one body, it was interesting to see on film.

I personally would go crazy. But the way Saoirse played these two characters was amazing! Another character I enjoyed seeing was Diane Kruger. She played this obsessive, crazy, Seeker and it was perfectly portrayed. Although I didn't read the book, I felt if I had she'd be perfect.

Another thing was since Wanda and Melanie were two different people, I don't know why but I just didn't take to Melanie that much, I really didn't like her as a person, but I don't know if that was intended or not. She was funny, but I just didn't like her as a person. Wanda was awesome, I loved her! I wanted to hug her. And also one thing I didn't like, it didn't feel like there was much of a sci-fi effect accept for the aliens thing. I think that it was more dystopian than sci-fi to me. 

Well that's my take on The Host.
