The Fault In Our Stars Movie Review

Today, I watched The Fault In Our Stars Movie, and I loved it.  Therefore, I decided why not do a review on it?  So this post will be a review of Fault In Our Stars movie.  This movie is based on the book The Fault In Our Stars by John Green.  For those of you who have not read the book, read it asap!  Anyways, now let me tell you my thoughts on the movie.  It was such a funny, emotional, romantic, and beautiful movie.  It followed the book really closely.  There were so many scenes from the book that I saw in the movies and quotes as well.  Shailene Woodley (Hazel) and Ansel Elgort (Augustus) fit their roles so well; they had great chemistry.  I know that Shailene and Ansel play brothers and sisters in Divergent movie, so people might think it's a bit awkward to see them as lovers in TFIOS.  But for me, it wasn't awkward at all.  This movie is definitely a must see.  It's not the average "love story" movie.  I think it's more real.  Now, I will be talking about scenes from the movie, which will contain spoilers.  So I suggest you to stop reading if you haven't watch the movie yet.  Or if you like spoilers, then go ahead and read on!  I loved the egg throwing scene in the movie.  It was really funny.  When Monica's mom came outside the house, Augustus said, "You see, we may not look like much but between the three of us we have five legs, four eyes and two and a half working pairs of lungs but we also have two dozen eggs so if I were you, I would go back inside."  Haha.  I was eager to see how the Anne Frank scene, and Amsterdam date scene will turn out.  And it turned out simply just perfect.  Overall, this movie is just so amazing and so beautiful and so perfect.  On a scale from 1 to 10, I would give this movie a 10/10 of course.  If you are a fan of the book, then definitely go watch the movie.  If you aren't a fan of the book, then still watch the movie.  Trust me, you won't regret it! :)

QOTD: Have you watched the movie?  If you did, did you like it?  If you didn't, do you plan to watch it? 

EOS Vs. Baby Lips

Okay, I know I already did a post like this before which compared all 3 lip balm brands: EOS, Baby Lips, and Nivea.  If you want to read that blog post, click here.  But this post will be different, since it would be a more in depth comparison of only EOS and Baby Lips.  Many people wonder what the differences and similarities are between EOS and Baby Lips.  So that's why I decided to do a post on it.  Now, let's begin!

Baby Lips Dr. Rescue Coral Crave (left) and EOS Blueberry Acai (right)

Packaging

EOS:

The packaging for EOS lip balm is so unique.  It's a lovely dome shape.  It's very easy to open and close.  However, since EOS lip balm is spherical-shaped, it might not be convenient to carry around in your purse.

Baby Lips: 

On the other hand, the packaging for Baby Lips is more ordinary.  The Baby Lips font are on the sides.  Actually for Baby Lips Dr. Rescue Collection, there is a label on a cap unlike the other Baby Lips collections.  Usually, the caps are clear, with no label on it.  The bottom dial feels loose when I twist it, but so far so good like it doesn't come off or anything.  I think the packaging for all the Baby Lips collections are still cute though.  And the packaging is more compact, so it's easier to fit in your purse. 

Winner - EOS

Scent 

EOS:

So I have 2 EOS lip balms, and they are the strawberry sorbet and blueberry acai (shown in picture).  Out of those 2, I prefer the blueberry acai one, since I think it smells better.  I also know how the other EOS lip balm smell like (sweet mint, summer fruit, honeysuckle honeydew) though because my family members have them.  And I can tell you that they smell amazing!


Baby Lips:

For Baby Lips, I have the pink punch and peach kiss from the regular collection, and I also have the Baby Lips Dr. Rescue coral crave (as shown in the picture).  The Baby Lips Dr. Rescue chapstick has kind of a medicated smell I guess?  So if you are someone who wants a chapstick that smells good, I do not think you should get that.  On the other hand, the baby lips from the regular collection smells really good.  Compared to EOS, I would say that EOS has more of a natural smell, and Baby Lips has more of an artificial smell (it still smells very good though.)

Winner: EOS 



Pigmentation 

EOS:

When you put EOS on your lips, there is no color.  For me, I use it at home usually before I go to sleep, so I can wake up with soft lips.  Or, I use it for any casual events, since there is no color.


Baby Lips:

Baby Lips do give out color, but it's not very pigmented.  Once you put it on, it just gives a sheer wash of color to the lips.  But if you put more coats on your lips, then the color would show more.  For me, I like to use it for special occasions, and sometimes, I will apply it on my lips before I go to bed as well, like what I do with EOS.

Winner: Baby Lips

Texture / Moisturization

EOS:

When you have EOS on your lips, it feels like you don't have any lip balm on which I personally like that.  It feels smooth and light, without being oily.  In terms of moisturization, EOS moisturizes very well.  Every time I put EOS on, it leaves my lips feeling super soft.


Baby Lips:

For the texture of Baby Lips regular collection, I feel like it's oily and a bit greasy.  It doesn't feel as nice on my lips as EOS.  I LOVE the texture for Baby Lips Dr. Rescue collection though.  Once you apply it, there is a cooling sensation on your lips, and the formula doesn't feel oily or greasy at all.  It feels very nice on my lips.  The moisturization for Dr. Rescue is better than the regular collection.  Compared to EOS, though, I believe EOS moisturizes better.

Winner: EOS


Anyways, that wraps up my post for EOS vs. Baby Lips!  I know it seems like I favor EOS a lot more, but actually Baby Lips Dr. Rescue is pretty close to EOS to me.  I recommend BOTH of these brands, but you should buy the one that you think you will like better! :) I truly hope that this post helped you, and thank you so much for reading! :D

QOTD: Have you tried both?  If you did, which one did you like better?  Leave your answer in the comment section below!

14 Awaited Releases/ Events for 2014

So I saw that my friend (randomthingsrcool.blogspot.com) did this post around 2 months ago, and I decided that I wanted to do a post like this as well.  Instead, mine would be any 14 awaited releases/events for 2014.  The releases will not just be books and movies (my friend's post was only the releases for books and movies).  Without further ado, let's begin!

These are not in any order at all:

1. Pretty Little Liars Season 5 Premiere - Well of course this isn't a surprise since ya'll know how much I love Pretty Little Liars!
2. Ariana Grande's Second Album - I LOVED her first album, Yours Truly (click here if you want to read my post about Yours Truly)
3. Lucy Hale's Album, Road Between - So I've heard several songs from her album on her Youtube channel, and all of them sound really good.  Now, I personally don't really like country music, but when I listened to her songs, I really like it.  You guys should definitely  listen to her songs!
4. Pretty Little Liars Toxic - Pretty Little Liars book series still remains as one of my favorite book series of all times.  When Toxic comes out, it just means one step closer to finding out who A is!
5. TFIOS Movie - Now y'all should know what TFIOS stand for, but in case you don't, it stands for The Fault In Our Stars.  I read the book The Fault In Our Stars and LOVED it!  So I'm super pumped for the movie to come out.  And I saw the trailer, and the movie seems like it would be amazing!
6. Mockingjay Part 1 - Catching Fire was one of my favorite movie (click here if you want to see my review of Catching Fire), and I already watched that movie 3 times.  So of course, I can't wait for Mockingjay Part 1.
7. The Maze Runner Movie - I never read the book The Maze Runner, but I plan to.  I watched the trailer for the Maze Runner and it looks like it would be a great movie.
8. Pretty Little Liars Future Collections - If you didn't know already, there is a Pretty Little Liars clothing line, which is sold at Aeropostale.  I am excited for future PLL collection releases, since the clothes from the collection are released so far are all fashionable.
9. Teen Choice Awards - Teen Choice Awards is my favorite award show.  I don't know I just like it, and also, Pretty Little Liars cast wins every award they are nominated so yay! :)
10. Katy Perry Concert - So I know in my Demi Lovato Neon Lights Concert post (click here if you want to read it), I told you guys that Katy Perry's Prism concert ticket were sold out.  However, on April 1 when I checked the website that sold tickets, there was apparently still tickets.  So I got tickets for the concert!  But the seats were on the side, which I guess is totally fine since I would be at her concert.  And that's all that matters.
11. The Retribution of Mara Dyer - So my friend from randomthingsrcool.blogspot.com recommended this series.  This book will be the third book for the Mara Dyer triology, and I am looking forward to the release of this book.  The Mara Dyer series is an AMAZING book series; it's one of my favorites.  If you didn't read any books from this series already, you have to read it!  It's soooo freaking good!
12. Maleficent - I saw the trailer for this, and right away, I was like I have to see it.  Angelina Jolie is PERFECT as Maleficent.

Okay, before I list the next 2 events, let me just say it's more of a personal awaited event.

13. Starting High School - So I would be starting high school as a freshman this coming August.  And I'm actually pretty excited about it.  I hope my 4 years high school will be memorable.
14. 8th Grade Promotion Dance - The theme for the 8th Grade Promotion Dance is Glow in the Dark, so yay!  I don't know what to wear yet, but it's the last dance of the year.

Anyways, those are the 14 awaited releases/events for 2014.  I hope you liked this post, and thank you so much for reading! :)

My Thoughts About Height

So I always wanted to make this post about height, and today I decided to do that.  This post will be about my thoughts on height, and why you should love your height.  For me, I'm pretty short (I'm 14 and only 5 feet 1 3/4 inches tall).  When I started to notice that I didn't grow as much as before, I'm not gonna lie; I was upset.  My dream height was around 5 feet 5 inches tall, and I was no where close to that.  Before, I didn't like being that short.  But now, I'm starting to learn to embrace it.

I think being short or tall isn't bad at all.  I mean there are perks of being short and perks of being tall.  But there are also negative points about being short or tall, which don't think about the negative part of your height.  ALWAYS think positive about your height.

For those people who comment on people saying "Wow you are so short" or "Oh my gosh you are so tall", seriously stop it.  Like it's really unnecessary.  They already know if they are tall or short.  For the person you are making these comments to, you don't know if they will feel offended or not.  It's okay to observe people because it's natural to do that.  But keep your observations to yourself.  It's rude to comment on someone's height, especially if you call them short (since idk society think being tall is good which it is but doesn't mean being short is bad, you know).

Now  for those of you who don't like your height, then from this point on, stop hating your height.  Height doesn't matter.  If you have a good heart, that's all it matters.  Be confident with who you are.  Don't let other people's comments get to you.  As long as you are happy with who you are, then you will live a much happier life!  So next time when someone says, "you are so short/tall", just smile and say "I know" :)

Btw, HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!  Thank you, Mom, for being the best mom in the world.  You are willing to put your time aside to help me.  I love you. <3 :D

#PLLSeAson5 Summer Premiere Official Preview & More

So the promo for Pretty Little Liars Season 5 came out a few days ago, and I decided to show you guys!



OMG I CANT WAIT!

Now, I'm going to talk about my predictions, what I hope will happen in season 5, and some rambling.  I want Alison to have a twin so badly in the show (in the books she does have a twin).  I mean it makes everything more interesting.  Someone in the show definitely has a twin though; I think it's probably either Cece or Alison.  There are several clues in the show that kinda hints us there is a twin.  As you can see from the promo, Ezra whispered who he thinks A is, and hopefully he really does that.  Usually Pretty Little Liars promos just make it look like something will happen, when in the actual episode, what we think will happen doesn't really actually happen.  I'm pretty sure that Ezra won't die I mean everyone likes Ezra.  Ezria is the best couple in PLL for sure!  Some people feel like the show is dragging on, but I think its fine.  I think we will have some legit answers in season 5.  Marlene said the story doesn't end until a season 6 (if PLL does get renewed).  And about Alison, I think she changed.  I think the liars can trust Alison now.  Judging by the promo, it looks like season 5 will be the best season ever!

Now, the book cover for the last book in the Pretty Little Liars book series is released.  So this is how the cover looks like:

 
If it is the last book (cause Sara Shepard, author of PLL book series tends to say this book is the last book when it's really not the conclusion to the series), then I think the cover should have been with 4 liars on it.  I like the color combination though.  I'm happy that Sara is finally ending the series cause the book series does kinda drag on a bit.  I still love it though, but all story lines can't go on forever.  I hope that there will be a great conclusion to the series.  I wonder how Sara will end it because in previous books, she makes Alison so powerful.  I really don't know how the liars can't defeat her.  So that will be interesting to find out.

Anyways, that's it for this post!  I hope you liked it, and thanks for reading! :)

5 Things That Piss Me Off More Than Ever Tag

So, today I am going to do a tag, which as you can tell from the title, it's the 5 things that piss me off more than ever tag.  I was tagged by a random person from randomthingsrcool.blogspot.com.  Without further ado, here are 5 things that pisses me off more than ever.

1. when people think they are too good for others - Ugh, some people just think they are so much better than others.  I mean seriously, everyone is the same.  Like, you don't get special treatment.  

2. rude people - Gosh, people who are rude for NO apparent reason at all pisses me off.  I didn't do anything, why ya gotta be rude to me?  

3. people who follow others - Here's a tip guys, don't follow anyone.  No one likes someone who constantly follows them.  It's just plain annoying.  

4. wannabes - Wow wannabes are just so.....annoying.  They try to be popular, and you can tell they are trying pretty hard.  But ya know, popularity doesn't matter, like after high school, it won't matter at all.  

5. spoilers - Don't be on social media if you haven't watched an episode of your favorite TV show or movie.  I learned that the hard way.  There will always be spoilers on social media.  Some people just decide to ruin it for everyone.  Like really?!!  Are you serious?  Once I read a spoiler, I can't "forget" the spoiler.  So, if you are a spoiler out there, do everyone else a favor by not spoiling okay? 

And I'm sorry I had to add one more thing, cause listing only 5 things is simply not enough.  

6. people who curse to be cool - Dude, like no stop.  Cursing doesn't make you cooler or anything.  I'm fine with cursing, cause everyone curses.  But like if you curse a lot, and you do it to be cool?  Nah!  

So yeah, those are the 5 things that piss me off.  I tag Rachel from givenwithawesomeness.blogspot.com, and all of you guys of course!  Feel free to comment down below of what pisses you off.  I would love to read your comments!  Anyways, hope you guys liked this post, and thanks for reading! :) 

Caramel Frappuccino

Can we just talk about a drink that is perfection?  For me, that drink is the Caramel Frappuccino from Starbucks.  It's the best.  First, let me describe the drink.  So basically, it's just coffee blended with caramel syrup, milk, and ice.  It's topped with whip cream (well this is actually optional), and to finish it off, caramel sauce is drizzled over the whip cream.  Now, I'm going to describe how it tastes like.  So once you drink it, you will taste the bold coffee and the sweet caramel.  Then, there will be a icey coffee-ish, caramel-y taste that lingers in your mouth.  So yeah.  Anyways, seriously you guys HAVE to try the Caramel Frappuccino, if you didn't already.  Especially if you love caramel.  Trust me, you will love it. :)

Divergent Movie Review

So a few days ago, I watched the Divergent movie.  Oh my gosh, it was so freaking good!  For those of you who don't know, this movie was based on the book, also called Divergent, by Veronica Roth.  Anyways, let me tell me my thoughts that do not include spoilers.  I thought this movie was perfectly paced and that it followed the book pretty well.  It was full of action, and the chemistry between the characters was absolutely wonderful.  I also thought all the actors/actresses fit their role pretty well.  When the movie showed the Dauntless building, I was surprised that it was pretty close to how I imagined it.  Like I watched other movies that are adapted from books before, but none of the sets closely resembles to how I imagined it.  And haha, when it showed Tris fighting or sprinting, it actually makes you want to fight/sprint too.  Okay, so that wraps up the review of the Divergent movie, without spoilers.  Below, I am going to tell you my thoughts on certain parts of the movies, and they do contain spoilers.




--------------------------------------------------DISCUSSION : SPOILER ALERT-----------------------------------------------
So let's start from the beginning, shall we?  The aptitude test, well it was shorter than the book's version.  But it works, I guess since obviously not everything from the book can be in the movie.  When Tris choice Dauntless as her new faction, I was like yes!  When Dauntless started running up to the train, I felt like running too.  After Tris jumped into the net, Four appeared.  Can we just talk about Theo James (Four) for a second?  Gosh, he is so hot.  Haha, I'm sorry I had to say that.  Later, Eric and Peter appeared.  Both Peter and Eric wasn't how I imagined, but it works.  When Tris fought against opponents for the first part of the Dauntless training, I wanted to shout GO TRIS!  But I can't since I was in the movie theater so.....ya.  During the part where Tris got on the zip line, the scene was shot so beautifully.  And when Tris last minute, pulled the brake, she stopped like literally right in front of the board.  I was like that was so close!  And the end of Divergent, when Tris was fighting, gosh it was so intense.  The ending of Divergent is definitely my favorite part of the movie, but it was really sad too.  When Tris's mom died, oh my gosh I was so close to crying.  Cause her mom was saved Tris's lives and sacrificed herself.  Tris's dad also sacrificed himself too.  But you know at the end, Tris saved so many of the Abnegation's lives and became the hero. :)
---------------------------------------------------------END OF SPOILER------------------------------------------------------------

So yeah, that was my review on Divergent, the movie.  Overall, I would give it a 9.5/10.  Comparing it with Catching Fire (film), I would have to say that Catching Fire is better.  The reason is because Catching Fire made me stare at the screen with my mouth open the whole time, and I barely moved throughout the movie.  Catching Fire was that good, but Divergent didn't make me feel that way.  Divergent is still an amazing film to see though, and I definitely recommend all of you guys to watch it (but first read the book).  Oh, and I thought the chemistry between Tris and Four was a lot better than Katniss's and Peeta's.  Tris and Four are perfect together.  Also, I would like to say that if I chose a faction, I would probably choose Dauntless, since it's so exciting and fun.  Although the stuff that Dauntless do are dangerous, well everyone needs to take some risks once in a while. :)
