Jurassic World, Fallen Kingdom


Rating 💗💗💗💗💗

A link to see a trailer for this movie is at the end of the post.

When I saw the preview for this I cringed. I'm a HUGE Jurassic Park fan. I've seen them all, read them all and even want it to be an archeologist one day so I could find and collect them all. Having said that, I can honestly say that part two of the series was not the best movie out there. Dino running loose in the wilderness = Awesome, but Dino running wild in the city = Meh.

This movie in the previews gives you exactly that, dinosaurs roam the city, climb stars and rooftops, giving me flashbacks to The Lost World. Not again.

Flash forward to today:

My boyfriend is just as big of a Jurassic Park fan as I am, when we discussed what movie to see, first thing he said was "Jurassic World". "Ok, great. I'd definitely like to see that" was my reply while I internally rolled my eyes, I really wasn't trying to see this movie and ruin all of the series for myself, but as love tends to do and it does this a lot with me, I put my fears aside and risked it all for my tiger. I braced myself, snuggled and got to watching.

The movie starts off in the wild. The island where they had the dinosaurs in Jurassic World has a problem, an active volcano that is going to kill off all of them unless humans step in and help. The idea they have come up with is to transport the animals off of the island and to safe ground. Piece of cake, right? They enlist the help of both of the main characters from Jurassic World to do this and a few new faces. Jeff Goldbum is also back for this movie.

I won't go farther into the plot than that, but I have to say that the movie seriously surprised me. It was nothing like The Lost World. We saw quite a few homage moments to the original movie which die hard JP fans will enjoy and honestly it turned out to be very entertaining. The graphics are great and the plot is believable. There was no bad taste left in my mouth from it like I expected. I'm really glad I saw it and would recommend it. After the movie ended I realized how great it was that my boyfriend gave me the little push I needed to see this movie, we both ended up really liking it and happy. You can't ask for more than that.

EOS (Evolution Of Smooth) Unique Skin-Friendly And Super Smooth Shave Cream for sensitive skin.

Rating 💗💗💗💗 So, right off the bat I'm gonna say it. I got this full size sample of EOS Shave Cream free to try (Yay!). I get lots of free stuff to try out and give opinions on so, you'll be seeing that disclaimer a lot here. Now, to the good stuff! I have a problem with razor burn, it's been something that has plagued me since I began shaving. I've tried all sorts of stuff to help it and few things seem to. I don't like electric shavers because they don't do as close and clean of a shave as these and although wax is good, it takes extra time that I sometimes just don't have. A lot of times I pull out the manual razor and get to it. I liked this shaving cream a lot. It has a good consistency and is smooth on. You shave like you normally would and then rinse off. There's really nothing special about it in that department, it's just another shaving cream. The after effects are what I was looking forward to anyway. About 2 to 3 hours after...

Pillsbury 13x9 Family Size Dark Chocolate Brownie Mix

Rating: 💗💗💗 When I Bake a cake from a box, Pillsbury is at the bottom of my list because although it is cheaper than the Duncan Hinez and Betty Crocker batch,  it's also lower quality. The cake is usually tough and dry and the taste can't be compared. When I bought this box of brownie mix I figured I'd get  exactly what I paid for just like with the cake mix, but I was honestly surprised! Yes, its not the same quality as the other brands and yes,  on its own it can use some improvement, but it's nothing that a little topping can't make up for and after all, at around a buck a box you really can't ask  for much. The sweetness is just right, not too much and not too little, it's not as rich as others, but it's rich enough to satisfy and the texture is a little less chewy than desired, It's more like an in-between cake and brownie,  but if you do as I did and add some walnuts, chocolate pieces, a little fudge and a little enthusiasm, you shou...

Downy Unstopables Scent Booster

Rating 💗💗💗💗💗 I was excited about testing this product from Downy. I had seen all the commercials since it came out, but I hadn't really decided on whether  my clothes needed a scent boost. We use so many things to make ourselves perfumed and to smell fresh that although I was tempted, I really couldn't  bring myself to decide if I really wanted another layer of smell on me.  Then I washed my dog's clothes. I regularly use a brand name detergent that works well and has my clothes smelling fresh for days so in no way am I blaming this on the detergent. I popped my little Pinto's  clothes in the washer along with one of his beds and his blanket. Once they were dry, I'm not sure why but, I decided to take a sniff and no, it didn't smell like dirty,  wet dog, but it did not smell fresh at all. I love my dog, but he is an active thing that loves to run, be out in the sun and cause all sorts of mayhem  so, it's understandable that his clothes end u...
