The Lobster is about a future where everyone must partner up, or be forced to live in the woods with other crazy loners.
This is definitely the weirdest movie I have ever seen. I'm surprised I watched it from beginning to end, I think I can safely compare it to that of a train wreck. You just can't help but look.
Colin Farrell is the main character, and it's definitely a very different role for him. Despite his acting skills, I still found the character to be bland and not in the least bit relatable. None of the characters were, really. I think this falls to the writers, or maybe the directors, since the way the lines are delivered reads as though they're reciting from a script from words that people in real life would never say.
I watched this movie through Android and I'm very glad I didn't spend any money on it. The movie was categorized as a comedy, drama and romance. Drama is the only category I would accept for this movie. It is most definitely not a comedy. I didn't laugh once, nor did I ever smile (even my husband didn't think this was funny, and he generally likes stupid comedies). And I would consider this a romance. Although there is a courtship between two of the characters. Not romantic in the least, in my opinion.
I would most definitely not recommend this movie to anyone, not even if you can get it for free. It was a let down all around and both my husband and I were left wishing we could get the 2 hours of our life back.

Disclaimer: I received a full size Garnier SkinActive Micellar Water from Chick Advisor to review.
As of now (Feb.20) I haven't had a chance to even test the product. I got package slip on the 11th, and only got the time today to go pick it up. I'm not overly optimistic that this weird Micellar Water that everyone is raving about will actually clean skin, let alone remove makeup. Plus I do have a slightly negative view of Garnier in general because I used one of their hair dyes and it made my dandruff ten times worse. So I am hoping that this product will change my mind. I plan to give this a fair shot and hopefully the claims of improved skin within a week are true.

I received two Pemama Prenatal Vitamin rink mix samples from Premama's website. I appreciated the chance to try out their product for free, as I'm very glad I didn't put any money towards it. Maybe other mom's experiences will be different, but for me it caused me immediate nausea and vomiting.
I'm not going to bother trying my second sample, but the one I did try is the Essentials + DHA. It's a yellow powder/crystal that you mix into 12 oz of water. It smells lemony and the first taste reminds me a bit of Sunny D, but if Sunny D had an absolutely horrible after taste. It's funny how the box says it soothes morning sickness. It most definitely brought mine on, since I was feeling perfectly fine before then.
I will definitely continue swallowing my horse pills instead of drinking my prenatal vitamin. Maybe another company can manage to make a product that is more palatable and won't make me throw up. Until then, I do not recommend Premama's prenatal vitamin drink mixes.

Teddy's Choice Ultra Comfort Diapers

My 7 month old fits comfortably into a size 4 diaper. I've been using Pamper's Baby Dry size 3s for now until we run out, and I use size 4s for overnight protection. He sleeps from about 6pm to 8-9:30 the next day. So we need a diaper that can really hold up.
Teddy's Choice Ultra Comfort are the absolute worst no name diapers we've tried yet. My son woke up screaming at 8am this morning and he was covered head to toe in urine and feces had leaked out of his diaper and his sheets were soaked through to the mattress protector (which thankfully save the mattress).
The absolute worst of it, aside from the mess and that my son was soaked, was the bright red and angry raw rash that was on my son's skin around his penis. Teddy's Choice Ultra Comfort diapers claim to have an absorbent core that whisks away moisture, well I call bullshit on that.
This was the absolute worst experience ever and I feel so sorry for my son to have to put up with this below par diapers. I will most definitely not be buying Teddy's Choice diapers ever again.

I've always loved the Nestle Crunch chocolate bar. It could stand to be a little thicker to get more milk chocolate goodness. But I still find it to be a good combination of rice and chocolate. I really wish they were easier to find full size in stores though. Here in Hamilton I'm only able to get them at the convenience store (for an absurd price) and at one grocery store. And I don't understand why I have never seen them in 4 packs for cheap? -

If you want the absolute worse shave of your life and to finish with lots of cuts and missed stubble, then by all means use Gillette Venus Original with 3 blades. I actually ended up shaving my other leg with the men's Fusion because I just couldn't take the torture anymore.
You will feel every blade scrape down your leg, no matter if you use soap or expensive shaving cream. You will go over the same spot more than once and STILL manage to not get the stubble.
The fourth or fifth time I used the Gillette Venus Original with 3 blades my legs either toughened up or the blade dulled enough so as not to inflict me with anymore torture. but that being said, I will never buy the 3 blade Venus ever again. I don't think I'm even going to bother using my second cartridge. Maybe I'll give it to my mother-in-law to try out...

I'm leery of any product that claims to reduce the appearance of stretch marks since to me it's about as scientifically proven as reducing the appearance of cellulite. It's just not possible in most cases. Honestly, I think any improvement that people see is from their skin naturally healing itself. They would probably have achieved the same results if they'd just used a plain moisturizer (for much, much cheaper).
I used Curel throughout my pregnancy and I still got a lot of stretchmarks. CeraVe Intensive Stretch Marks Cream did not help with my stretchmarks. I really like that it has no parabens or fragrance, but that's really all it has going for it. It's a very nice product in terms of a moisturizer. It feels good in the hands, it comes out nicely from the tube, and a little goes a long way. But in terms of actually improving my stretch marks, it has not delivered. If you're into that sort of thing I do recommend using this product over Bio Oil and other such stretch mark creams based simply off the fact that this product is cheaper, and it doesn't have parabens or fragrances.
I would not buy CeraVe Intensive Stretch Marks Cream in the future unless it had the price point of a normal moisturizer, since that's all it ended up being for me. Which is a shame. I was excited about making my angry red stretchmarks go away. But only time will do that.

I received CeraVe Eye Repair Cream for free from Chickadvisor's product review club. The opinions expressed are my own. Thank you Chickadvisor for the opportunity to test this product.
CeraVe Eye Repair cream is a waste of money. $20 something for a tiny little tube like this and it doesn't even have very strong antioxidants, peptides, retional or any other wrinkle and age fighter. It's very moisturizing, but other than that, I did not see any improvement in the least. I'm 26 with a 5 month old and I do have some shadows and puffiness around my eyes. CeraVe Eye Repair Cream did not "repair" anything. I also couldn't use it as described because the tip of the applicator was chipped so it couldn't be pressed to the skin to leave "small dots" under my eye because it would scratch the s**t out of my skin.
Save your money and buy something that's actually for anti-aging. Being recommended by dermatologists means absolutely nothing.

i wouldn't really call this revolutionary. It's zinc with some other moisturizing ingredients. My baby has never had a diaper rash, so I can't say how it worked in terms of effectiveness. But I did like how it came in a tube, instead of the jars which are not sanitary. I also liked how quick it was to rub in and it didn't leave a white cast on my baby's butt. I would buy this in the future before trying a more medicated cream like Desitin.

Wet n' Wild Wildshine nail color in Blazed

I bought Wet n' Wild wildshine in Blazed (C473B) at the dollar store for $1.25. The colour is a pretty coral, but I wasn't impressed with the quality. Two (thick) coats and I can still see my nail plate through the polish. From far away it's not noticeable, but it bugs me when I look at it closely.
The shine is your average nail polish shiny, nothing special (which you would think from a product called "wildshine").
The polish doesn't last long on the nails, even with a top coat applied. I suppose I shouldn't expect much from a nail polish that is available at the dollar store. But the brand name itself is very popular so you'd think they'd make a good quality product.
I would not buy Wet n' Wild wetshine nail color again. At least not in this colour. I know colours can vary greatly in quality under the same brand, so I might give a deeper colour another shot. But based off my results with Blazed I won't be buying it again any time soon.
