Beauty Review: Yes to Grapefruit

Brand: Yes to

Skin Care: Facial Scrub

While Shopping at Ulta this product caught my eye because of the packining was pink. I am a sucker for pink.

I opened it up, smelled it, and fell in love. This smells so good.

Even though I love the idea of facial scrubs I have a hard time finding one that isn’t harsh. This is that product.

It isn’t that harsh, I don’t feel any of those weird beads (or whatever they are) after I have washed my face. My skin also feels really great after I have used this product. I definitely see an improvement with my skin regarding acne.

Would I use it again? Probably, but there are other facials scrubs I want to try.

I would have to give this product 4 stars.

Book Review: Lint (Acme Novelty Library #20)

Photo Credit

Tiitle: Lint (Acme Novelty Library #20)

Author: Chris Ware

Publisher: Drawn and Quarterly; Ltd Col edition

Genre: Graphic Novels/Comic Books

Hardcover: 72 pages

I came across this book while working in the library and was fascinated by it.

I decided to check it out and I have read it over 4 times since I have checked it out. I still don’t know what to think about it entirely.

When I finished this book I was really down and depressed. If you are going to be reading this I suggest that you read this when you are at a very high point, because if you read this while depressed it will just make you feel worse.

One of the things that encouraged me to start reading/looking over this book was the fact that it focused on a boy going through his whole life in 72 pages. From him being a baby seeing the world through very simplistic eyes, to the end of his life and the images becoming a little more surreal.

Jordan Wellington Lint grew up with a father that was abusive to his mother. He was a bully, a man that lusted after other women, he is a jerk, is an adulterer, he is nasty to his family and friends, and we learn even a more terrible truth near the end of the story. I honestly couldn’t stand him and he reminds me of some of the guys I met in high school. Especially the bullies.

I love how we see his memory and his perception only. We don’t see a lot of early childhood memories before his mothers death. Nor do we see his relationship with his children before he cheats on his first wife. At on point I still can’t figure out if he committed statutory rape on a young teen girl or if it was just a dream he was having.

Although I feel bad for his really early childhood, I could only pity him. I can’t sympathize with the main character because he is annoying, selfish,etc. I felt bad for him, but only because he messed up his life so much because of his actions. He would have to remind me of the our stereotypical image of the male. He has so many opportunities and he wastes them. I was honestly annoyed by this man and hoping he would turn himself around anytime now.

There were two things that surprised me:

1. Reference to 9/11 I was not expecting that.
2. The twist at the ending. We learn about his relationship with one of his sons.

I would have to rate this book 4 stars.

___________________________________________________

So part of my theory was correct we know that she was blackmailed by CAM. Apparently people are looking for her and she is in a lot of trouble with them. Makes sense that she was involved with the government as an assassin and with intelligence of some sort, maybe USA because there was mention of CIA, but that could have been brief.

I wish Mary had killed CAM. At the same time though it part of me thinks that it would have been difficult because she is pregnant and the other part of me believes that she could do it because I’m sure she has had to deal with other kinds of pains while being an agent. Also in the original story it was a random woman. If not Mary Morstan than I was really hoping for Lady Smallwood, after all her husband committed suicide, so it would have been perfect revenge. Although it would have been great is Sherlock and John arrive only to find the whole house in an uproar. While Sherlock frantically looks around for Magnussen’s library only to find Lady Smallwood there over CAM’s body saying the library is gone. It was all in his head. It just would have been awesome.

My question is how did Magnussen find so much about Sherlock? The only way could have been from Sherlock’s brother Mycroft and the only person that we know that has had a conversation with Mycroft regarding Sherlock is Moriarty. Did Magnussen and Mycroft know each other in the same way? Did Magnussen and Moriarty know each other?

Final Thoughts:

• We will continue to learn more about Molly.
• I still think she will die, especially since there is a new villain.
• I don’t think Moriarty is alive. I will have a theory posted soon.
• This episode was really good. So much happened in this episode.

Overall I would have to rate this at 4 out of 5 stars. Even than I feel that is being nice, only because I was wanting more( specifically with Mary and CAM. I know its the end of the episode of a season, but still it should feel complete and yet keep the cliffhanger somehow.

Sherlock Shock Kit

After watching this episode for the second time online tonight I am very happy to say that I have analyzed it enough.

There will be spoilers so if you don’t want to spoil it for yourself I understand, but I would advise not reading any further than.

Here are my thoughts as the episode is going along, they should be in order:

• Moriarty in a wearing a mask. Love it.
• Bungee jump, kind of obvious.
• He just kissed Molly!
•  Oh, it’s just Anderson talking to Lestrade.
• Anderson said, “I believe in Sherlock Holmes.”
• Yeah why didn’t the police intervene. Huh Lestrade. Want to answer that or have your boss answer that?
• Poor John.
• Is that Sherlock?
• I’m pretty sure it is Sherlock.
• Mycroft!
• When Sherlock confronts Mycroft about Mycroft enjoying watching Sherlock being tortured, I saw a flash of Khan there.
• No to the mustace, funny Sherlock.
• The noise, the people. Mycroft sounds like an introvert to the extremem.
• Mrs. Hudson, “It ages you.”
• “So soon after Sherlock. What’s his name?
• He’ll jump out of a cake. Making fun of mycroft and tribute to fans
• OMG the Bow tie. Now he is stealing glasses, and he is drawing mustache.
• OH God the french accent.
• John didn’t notice! Sherlock’s face, hilarious.
• Oh no. Is Sherlock going to ruin the proposal?
• Yep he ruins the proposal.
• Watson is angry. Very angry
• He attacked Sherlock.
• They got kicked out and oh look he is attacking Sherlock again.
• Mary doesn’t like it.
• He punched him in the nose.
• Mary, “I like him:
• “Dying to come back”
• I thought Lestrade was going to hit and apparently so did Sherlock.
• Moriarty and Sherlock are huddling- what the-
• They are about to kiss…?
• Okay its just another conspiracy theory
• Anderson, “I found the empty hearse!”
• All those hashtags, that is the fandom exploding.
• “I don’t shave for Sherlock Holmes.” “You better out that on a t shirt.” Love it!
• Oh my gosh they are playing Operation.
• Mrs. Hudson you are awesome.
• Deduction wars, how exciting.
• Burn Mycroft!
• Guy Fawkes. The 5th of November…? Is that the plot? OMG if it is!
• I love how no one is doing anything about a man being burned alive. Stupid crowd, do something!
• Oh my gosh people help Sherlock!
• They were his parents!
• They are so ordinary. Hey John just said what I said.
  
• Not an Underground Network it’s an underground network
  
• Are we going to find out about how he died.
• I really have to go to the bathroom. Must wait.
• Remember remember the 5th of November. Knew it!
• Freaking out over train.
• How is Sherlock going to stop this one.
• Holy wow.
• Oh my goodness.
• I wasn’t in the bomb disposal, I was a bloody doctor. Makes me think of Star Trek.
• Sherlock better not be playing him.
• This better not be a trick.
• Yah, we finally we find out how he did it.
• Project Lazarus. Brilliant.
• I’ve got lots of coats.
• Anderson is losing it. Probably a representation of the fandom right now
• He tricked him. That’s mean.
• “You Cock!”
• “That is so two years ago.”
• Do you hear the people sing. Love Les Miserables, he is talking to Mycroft which means he is talking in the middle of the show. Oh gosh.
• Sherlock assessed Molly’s fiance who looks a lot and dresses a lot lie Sherlock and didn’t criticize him at all.
• All the Johnlock feels.
• The hat.
• I think I know who that man is.

As I am watching the show a second time:

I began asking a lot of questions and as a result I actually came up with a few really great theories that will be posted soon that involves Mary and the mystery man. Click here to read more on my thoughts.

• I love Mary a lot. I really enjoyed her, but I still have a lot of questions about her.
• All the Sherlock moments were great. I really did miss this.
• After this episode Sherlock could easily paired with Molly and John even more so than before.
• My mom’s theory was right about the fall. Really excited about that.
• I felt annoyed and bad for Anderson.
• How he faked his death, perfect and very like Sherlock. Nothing out of place.
• The ending, leaving us wanting more.

I really enjoyed this episode. It was honestly perfect, my only wish was that we could learn more about Mary.

I give it 4 out of 5 stars.
