Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen: Book Review

This novel is about the Bennett family that consists of Mr and Mrs Bennett and their five daughters. With the family not having a huge fortune to leave for their daughters, Mrs Bennett is worried to have her daughters married to a well established man.

One thing I have to say straight off the bat is how did I wait so long before reading this novel? This novel is simply amazing! And beautifully written. Granted there were parts that I had to read more than once. But other than that pretty easy to read and understand. 

At times I felt that Elizabeth was being too harsh on judging Mr. Darcy and she should of kept an open mind about him yet she didn't. What was not very clear was how she came to "love" him. And I'm using quotation marks because yes she realized that he is not that horrid a man to be matched with but how did she fall in love with him? That's what's confusing to me. 

The one character I've come to love was (drum roll) Mr. Darcy. He is one of the characters that have undergone a tremendous change. He paid off Mr. Wickhams debt which if you know the history between the two you'll realize that this is a huge effort on his part. What really got me to love him was that he was willing to do that for her and not for anyone else. 

There were times that I just wanted this novel to end and there were times I found myself enjoying it. 

Overall this was a good novel and I can finally say that I read Pride and Prejudice.

Neutrogena: Healthy Skin Instant Tone Corrector (Review)

Image
***Not Cruelty Free 👎*** This silky, lightweight formula is meant to smooth the skin and correct complexion in seconds. This formula contains essential soy which is "proven" to correct and brighten skin tone while also reducing the look of dark spots, pores and wrinkles. It also helps make-up to be applied smoothly and last longer. The SPF in the tone corrector helps the skin looking healthy. It can be worn alone or with makeup. It contains SPF 15 and is for all skin types. This product costs around $20 but I got it for a $1! You can checkout Neutrogena's website  here.   Essentially, this is a tone corrector and it can be used as a primer after moisturizer. When I read the description on the box I was praying to God that this would work because as I've previously stated in the past few blog posts I've written; this summer my skin has been freaking out with pimples and in consequence I have dark spots all over my chin area where I previously had pimples...

True Blood: Season 1 Episode 6 Cold Ground (Episode Review)

Image
((((((This review contains spoilers.)))))) Adele Stackhouse is dead and of course Sookie is in shock but damn everyone keeps on bugging her. Can everyone just let the poor girl grieve? Of course Sam and Bill have to seize each other up. My question is why does Bill think he knows Sookie so well? Dude, you've known her maybe a week tops. Or has he known her for a week as he would like everyone to believe? I don't understand how Sookie was able to clean up the kitchen after her grandmother was murdered in it. It's a shame that Adele died she was such a gentle spirit.  Jason is just slowly deteriorating beyond belief. Addicted to vampire blood, suspected of several murders and now hitting his own sister. Thank God for Tara and Lafayette because they are amazing friends. They are funny and caring I wish they were my friends.  Sookie yelling and cursing at everyone during the funeral just made me laugh so much. I would react the same way if not worse had I been abl...

Ouija: Origin Of Evil (Movie Review)

Image
(((((Please be warned there are spoilers))))) Movie Summary: In 1960's California, a fake medium's daughter tries to communicate with her late father through a Ouija board, but unleashes a demon instead. This movie is the prequel of the movie Ouija which I have already reviewed. The review for the movie Ouija is here. In the movie we are introduced to the Zander family. The widowed mother Alice and her two daughters Paulina and Doris. Due to losing her husband, Alice becomes the sole provider for her family and to earn some sort of income she performs séances to help her clients get closure from their passed loved ones. She makes money off of scamming people and she uses both her daughters to do it. Personally, I think it's really fucked up to exploit someone's pain and grief to make a few quick bucks. But using her own logic, through deceit she is able to provide some sort of comfort and closure. It does not take too long for Alice to incorporate the po...
