I must be spending too much time on TikTok but the algorithm somehow brought me to the side of ColorTok. From the Disney coloring books to the Ohuhu markers I have become obsessed with not only watching coloring videos but coloring itself. Thank goodness for Amazon and their speedy deliveries because I just couldn't wait to get my hands on some coloring books and markers.  Financially, I'm a few hundred dollars deep in this new hobby of mine. And while I am writing this out I have a pending order waiting to be shipped to me. Of course, I included a few items that I desperately need that isn't related to coloring to try to convince myself I don't have a problem. And to get free delivery...of course!  When I first started on this journey I had a Crayola set of markers and I was on the hunt for some cool coloring books. Well color me impressed (see what I did there? Pun intended) that retail stores weren't able to help me find the coloring books I was looking for. I do...

 Product Summary: This sexy, sparkling, Pumpkin pie-scented eye shadow palette features 18 warm and spicy shades in a  variety of finishes that will make transitioning form your morning PSL's to your favourite fall late night snack as easy as pie! Cost: Around $60 but I bought it on sale from Sephora for $34.  ***Cruelty Free*** Here is another eye shadow palette review for a Too Faced palette. I've reviewed a few of their palettes so far and I'm happy to write that I am beyond happy with the Pumpkin Spice Second Slice palette. As we have all seen if you have been following my blog and reviews that I am a sucker for natural/ warm eyeshadows. So naturally, this palette became a favourite of mine quite quickly.  As per usual, another fantastic palette from Too Faced that hits it out of the park for me. It has amazing pigmentation, long-lasting staying power and again their formula is so easy to use and takes very little effort to put together an amazing eye look. ...

 ***This review will contain spoilers*** Summary: Jonas Taylor leads a research team on an exploratory dive into the deepest depths of the ocean. Their voyage spirals into chaos when a malevolent mining operation threatens their mission and forces them into a high-stakes battle for survival. Pitted against colossal, prehistoric sharks and relentless environmental plunderers, they must outrun, outsmart and outswim their merciless predators. Opening scene: Set 65 Million years ago during the Cretaceous period. We see the Tyrannosaurus Rex chasing 'Snappers' or Rauisuchians who then gets eaten by a Megalodon. I quite liked this opening because it visually showed us the circle of life during that time period.  Sequels always tend to be worse than the original movie and alas this movie is not an exception. The first movie was phenomenal because it gave us so much action, we got attached to the characters and it felt like I was on the same journey as them. This go around man there w...

***This review will contain spoilers***  Summary: This story came about just because I wanted to know more about Myrnin for my own understanding of his character, and sometimes, the best way to achieve that is to write a character’s history from his/her point of view. The character tells me what’s important, and what changed, for better or worse. Discovering that Myrnin’s father had some type of mental disorder was important to me, because of course when he was born, such things weren’t really understood. When I was working on the draft of the first book in which Myrnin appeared, my co-worker who read it said, ‘Oh, you’ve written a bipolar character, and he’s actually really cool! Did you know that I take medication for that?’ She went on to relate all the ways he was familiar to her. I was amazed, and honoured. I won’t name the co-worker, for privacy, but I say now, as then: thank you for sharing your story with me, and you know who you are. I hope Myrnin continues to make you pro...

 ***This review will contain spoilers*** Summary: In the college town of Morganville, vampires and humans coexist in (relatively) bloodless harmony. Then comes Bishop, the master vampire who threatens to abolish all order, revive the forces of the evil dead, and let chaos rule. But Bishop isn't the only threat. Violent black cyclone clouds hover, promising a storm of devastating proportions as student Claire Danvers and her friends prepare to defend Morganville against elements both natural and unnatural. I have said it in the past and I shall say it again. I am beyond impressed how much Caine is able to include in just a couple hundred pages. I have read books with 700+ pages and have just a fraction of action or plot in comparison to the Morganville books.  Lord of Misrule is slightly different in comparison to the previous books where they were structured this one is more chaotic and erratic. Which absolutely makes sense. There's an outright war in Morganville, humans are h...
