Fruits & Passion Cucina Hand Soap with Olive Oil, Coriander and Olive Tree

I love the smell of this hand soap, and it doesn’t linger for the whole day like others. It’s subtle and makes my skin super soft. I love the fact that it’s in a glass jar, but at the same time I’m not so sure I’d pay that much just for soap. Maybe if it goes on sale. -

I've used plenty of so-called volumizing conditioners and this one actually does its job. It does keep my hair more thicker than usual, without the heaviness of chemicals. I love love love the scent and it's not as strong as one might think. Overall, I might buy this again if my original conditioner isn't in stock. I received this free product in exchange for a review #GotItFree -

Now I have flat hair, and I've tried a ton of shampoos that promise to volumize my hair. I'm glad to say it worked out well. This shampoo actually worked. It didn't fluff my hair with toxins, it just made it full and swishy. I will definitely buy this because it actually worked. -

My first impression was the scent. It smelled amazing. I liked how much the body wash lathered because I find that using just a little goes a long way. The only thing I had trouble with is how similar it looked to the conditioner bottle, and since I have terrible eyesight, I kept picking it up thinking it was the shampoo. I had to flip it upside down to keep them separate. I also loved that the bottle is recyclable. -

I managed to read a couple of chapters before stopping. It felt boring and flat. Then I picked it up again to give it another try. I kept thinking the book would get better but it didn’t. It got worse. This book was way too long and the pacing is all over the place. I kept thinking it would end. I kept praying that it would. I just wanted the book to stop already, but since I started the book I just had to know if she signs the contract. That’s what kept me hurrying to the next page. At one point my eyes glazed over and I even skipped a couple of chapters.
I get the Twilight retelling. Her best friend is in love with her, he tries to kiss her and Christian swoops in to save the day. I don’t honestly know why Christian is even attractive at all. He is possessive, controlling, domineering and in a couple of swift one-liners, Ana falls for him. Seriously? You’re not in love sweetie, you’re in lust. You barely know him, and he won’t even tell you about his past, yet you trust the man? And these whole dominate/submissive relationship is so odd. The way he controls her! It’s crazy! Can you imagine being with such a control freak? He even wanted to control what she ate!!!! I am appalled at his stalker abilities! This man raises a red flag Ana. Run the other way!! Also, I couldn’t possible understand how could she love someone who takes pleasure in giving pain? I don’t understand how she could care about him. He was abusive!
If Ana says another thing about her “inner goddess” I swear…I’ll scream. It’s so wildly annoying. And how in the world does she have such low self-esteem? Be confident for Pete’s sake! Christian Grey is into you and if you have doubts then lady I think you need a self-esteem check. Can you tell I didn’t particularly like Ana? How in the world did you fall for Christian? Maybe it was because he was good looking. That is the only thing she worships about him in the entire book. Oh Ana how I wished you thought with your head and heart instead of your loins.
Those sex scenes were NOT hot or steamy. It was a little frightening. Why in the world would you sleep with someone who enjoys giving pain? Yes, I’m talking about the one scene where he spanks her. No more like hits her. And I can’t even look at a tampon the same way again. That part made me cringe and I almost dropped the book. And that contract!!! Why was it plunked into the book? It seriously made me laugh out loud.
You can definitely tell that I did not care for any of the characters and most of this review was a rant about how much I disliked them. There wasn’t much to like in my case. I’ve read great romance novels and great erotica novels, and this one is NOT one of them.
Sorry everyone, but if you trust my judgement, please don’t waste your time reading this book.

I did a poll on my blog for the book that I should read next and this one was the winner. I have to admit I haven't been as excited to read this only because it was clearly a tear jerker. Any book that deals with realistic scenarios, I try to steer clear from. Only because It gets me so sad. I hadn't even heard of John Green until I started blogging and everyone was buying his book the day it released so here I was reading my first ever John Green book.
After fully investing my time in reading this one, I knew that August and Hazel were going to be the mature and responsible teens characters that everyone has been raving about. And you just know that it won't end well for one of them, and then they can't be together. See, that's the thing, I thought this book would be so incredibly moving and touching, and at certain points it was. When they're simply just being together and talking to one another, that's where the wonderful quotes are from.
But I also did have issues with it. I found their voice to be so incredibly mature and pretentious. These characters talked like adults. Their vocabulary is impeccable and impressive and I had to grab the good 'ole dictionary to find out what they were saying. I know this is a YA book but I know when I was a teen I wouldn't have grabbed a book like this (partially because there were none). I needed books that were addicting, that were almost fluffy and fun. This wouldn't have grabbed my attention at all, and kudos to the teens that love this. It just wasn't for me. It was predictable, and I felt the ending come up so suddenly, stopping and going in the middle and then finally slowing to an end.
Overall, I did enjoy The Fault in Our Stars, but I guess I was waiting to be mind-blown..Damn those high expectations!

Was a huge fan of my Apple iPhone 4 and then I upgraded to the 5C. Terribly disappointed because this one was not as durable. I'm not exactly the most graceful, so I tend to drop my phone all the time and when I did, my phone's screen dimmed. I've dropped my iPhone 4 so many times even on concrete pavements and it still didn't make a dent. I'm sad that the quality of this has dropped. Off to upgrade my 5C to the next iPhone instead. -
