Ready Player One by Ernest Cline


Rating 💗💗💗💗

The book is a throwback to the 1980's that's set in 2044. The world as we know it has ceased to exist due to much chaos including overpopulation. Instead we now have people stacking up trailers and living in them, families can not take more space than what they actually need and most people are broke. The world is a mess and the one escape people living in it have is The Oasis.

The Oasis is a virtual world where you can be, see and do anything you want. A vast ocean of worlds of many themes, although many of these worlds have two things in common, they are based on other video game worlds and they are greatly inclined towards the 80's.

The day comes in which the creator of The Oasis dies and leaves a will in which he declares that he has hidden 3 keys in his virtual world, these 3 keys open a sort of Easter egg in the game (for those of you that are not gamers, an Easter egg is a bonus mini game that some video games have inside them) and whoever wins this game will get not only his billions of dollars bank account, but also become the major share holder in The Oasis. He leaves everyone a copy of his memoirs and a clue to get started. That's the basics of the game, but there's plenty more to it.

Not only will anyone who lived in the 80's enjoy reading this, but gamers of the world will find it interesting. The book also tackles what it's like to be a teen in a world where virtual reality is more common amd more accepted than the real world. It deals with themes like falling in love and making friends when you don't even know who is on the other side of the avatar you're seeing.

I found the book to be very entertaining, it's very believable in the sense that it is a world that could very likely be real in 20 years. I haven't seen the movie yet and I'll probably submit a review for it here too when I do, but I'll definitely recommend the book.

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...
