long time no post!

     Sorry for my very long and unannounced absence from the bloggin' community! I have soo much I've been wanting to share with all of you, but unfortunately some things in life have been getting the best of me : /   If you read my blog, than you'll most likely already know that I  have unfortunately been unemployed since the end of April and that I did not do as well as I had hope in school this past semester. Due to these little mishaps in my life, I've been too preoccupied to blog about anything! I'm soo upset! I missed like 3 Fun Fact Fridays and also the opportunity to share all the little things that have been happening in my neck of the woods. I do have some rather excitingly great news to share!! Thanks to my amazing FSIL(read: future sister-in-law) I got an amazing job at a paper company in the customer service office. And I could not be more thrilled with my position! [and pay!!] all i have to say is that I am NEVER going back to working retail ever again!!

     Also, I have unfortunately put my little hair accessories business on hold : ( However, I have been making lots of new hair flowers for all who wish to purchase some!! I absolutely love the new design of them and the fabrics! they're soo cute! I can't wait to share them with you all!! :D

    I have this urge to just keep writing a gigantic post about all the stuff I want to tell you since my absence, but I feel that would get boring and ramble-ly lol So I'm going to list some things that I want to share and then hopefully I'll get back into the swing of posting daily!! Warning: it will be difficult for me to commit to this with a full-time job, but i'll try my bestest!!!

• Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2
• Vans Warped Tour
• Full-time job
• Falling in Reverse's new album 'The Drug In Me Is You'
• Never Shout Never's new album 'Time Travel'
• Garden State Hair overhaul

     I'm positive I'll think of more random things to share with all of you, but until then i bid you all a great Wednesday night! : )

How's July been treating you? Is the heat as miserable in your corner of the world as it is in Jersey?  

Movie Review: Transformers 3: Dark of the Moon

     First off I just want to say that I LOVE OPTIMUS PRIME wayyy tooo muchhh!! Ask any of my friends and they'll tell you I am 100% serious about naming one of my children Optimus Prime[and the other one Harry Potter! my two loves!] And yes, this may qualify me as an insane person, and I'm okay with that lol Any way back to the movie review: HANDS DOWN one of THE BEST MOVIE OF THE YEAR!!!!! [until HP7Part2 comes out that is lol]

     But seriously, this movie went way beyond my expectations. I've seen both the 1st and 2nd transformers movies and loved both of them, but this 3rd one definitely takes the cake!! The action, the plot and story line were all on point. the comedy was the icing on the cake. I love semi-serious movies with some great pieces of comedy thrown in there. it lightens up all the serious stuff lol I'm not going to give anything away here, but I am going to say that Optimus Prime is seriously Bad Ass in this 3rd film. 

     My only dislike about this 3rd film, NO MEGAN FOX!!!! This was such a disappointment to my sister and I as we are hugeeeee MF fans and she was kick out of the movie : ( The actress who replaced Megan[I don't even know her name, or care to] was less than good. She did not at all in my opinion live up to her role and it didn't help that she had abnormally large lips and hugeeee nose. but alas, this are just my opinions. If TF3 wanted to earn 10 out of 10 stars, Megan Fox would have NEEDED to be in this film. 

     Don't get me wrong though, even sans Megan Fox, this film was amazing. Seriously if you haven't seen it yet, PLEASE GO DO SO!!! 

Have you seen TF3? What did you think of the 3rd film?

MOVIE REVIEW: Bad Teacher

     Yes, this movie is hilarious 99% of the time, however I felt the plot was extremely random and kind of all over the place. Cameron Diaz's character was hilarious! She kind of made me want to become a teacher haha[what does that say about me? lol]. So any way this is a very funny movie and if you're in need of a good laugh, then I definitely suggest you give 'Bad Teacher' a shot. Your funny bone will thank you. The only thing I really disliked about the whole movie, besides the random plot, was how creepy and weird Justin Timberlake's character was. It was kind of awkward to see him play such an odd role. But like I said before, definitely funny and if you have nothing else to do, this film will occupy an hour and a half of your time. 

Have you seen 'Bad Teacher' yet? What are you thoughts on it?

MOVIE REVIEW: Cars 2

  

     Well let me just say Disney and Pixar are back at it again! Cars 2 premiered on June 24th of this year and I went to see it with my two youngest brothers at midnight[obvs. my favorite way to watch a movie!] The movie was so cute and the characters are even cuter! Seeing the same settings and characters 6 years after the first one was like coming back home after a long time! The story line was adorable with Mater taking a pretty dominant role as Lightning McQueen's best friend and a SPY!! I loved the plot best of all, and usually I hate most movies plots after i've watched it and had time to really think about it. But not with Cars 2, I absolutely loved the mystery of it all! I loved all the new characters as well, especially Francesco Bernoulli, the Italian race car. Soo funny! This movie is defintely one that you should see before it hits DVD. Even if you don't have any little ones begging you to take them, I think adults of any age would enjoy this movie! There were only 12 people including me and my two brother when we went to see it at midnight, and everyone except my brothers were over the age of 18, i swear! It was definitely not the crowd I thought would be there at midnight, or at all really. But after seeing Cars 2, I can totally see why so many young adults and just adults in general were there. If you haven't seen it yet, PLEASE do yourself a favor and GO SEE IT!! It's definitely a must-see!!

Have you seen Cars 2 yet? What did you think about it?

Happy Birthday America!

     Today is the 4th of July!! which means its America's birthday!! My fourth of July is nothing like the average American's celebration lol Me and my youngest sister spent most of the day watch Harry Potter movies. Then we went to Target to return a snow cone machine because its didn't come with any flavor syrups : ( after that, we went to see 'Bad Teacher'[Movie review will follow, along with one for Cars 2 and Transformers 3] Upon entering the movie theatre, we ran into my sister's best friend and her parents. she did not want to go see a movie with her parents as that is totally embarassing for any 13 year old lol [ahhh what it is to be young lol] Sooo best friend(as I call her, and she calls me) sat with us at the movies and it was loads of fun! I had not idea how many people actually went to the movies on the 4th of July! There were a lot more people there than I thought there would be.
     Well its was definitely unconventional in comparison to my past 4th of July celebrations, but it was definitely fun!

Happy 4th of July everyone! Have fun and be safe!

How do you celebrate the 4th of July?

Fun Fact Friday: #5

     I'm a major, huge hockey fan! My team is the New Jersey Devils, of course lol Being that I've lived in Jersey my whole life, its only appropriate. I've been a hockey fan for along as I can remember. My parents would take me and my brother and sister to see the Rangers play at Madison Square Garden and  Continental Airlines Arena. My parents are big Rangers fans since forever and I was raised to be one myself, However once I was old enough to understand the game, I was about 9 when I realized the NJ Devils was my team!

    I went to two games last season and it was amazing! the most fun I've had in a very long time! I really want to save up money and get myself some season tickets[yes, that's how much of a fan I am of the Devils!] I saved up some cash after my 21st birthday this past January and bought my self a Ilya Kovalchuk jersey!!! I've been wanting one since I was 9! and now I finally have one! He's my absolute favorite player! He's amazing at what he does, such an outstanding athlete. 

     I can't wait to attend many more games this upcoming season!! This season is going to be ours!! The Devils will WIN THE CUP!!!! 

Are you a big fan of hockey? Maybe another sport? Who's your favorite team? I'd love to talk sports with my readers! 

Happy Friday everyone!
