I created The Book Suggestion when I was in high school on weebly. It was a place where I would rate books, I have personally read, and gave my honest opinion on them. I have now decided that I need to add some sparkle with a new blog and some new additions.Daniellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01463896329203753974noreply@blogger.comBlogger24125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8129527644135310536.post-8986935299691588802011-08-08T21:26:00.000-07:002011-08-08T21:26:23.234-07:00Book Wall!<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">When I say, "Book Wall" I'm using a term to describe a book that has hit a boring patch to the point of me not reading for a couple months. Shocking, I know my philosophy is to not start another book until I have finished the one I'm reading. Middlemarch by George Elliot is the current book I'm reading, I of course love historical ficition and the grammar that is entitled. I have become bored with the fact that school, work, friends, and a boyfriend have all gotten in the way of me being able to read more than a chapter a day. I promise I will have more books posted as soon as I finish Middlemarch, I think I will have a rush of freedom to read quickly thru the pile of books that lay unloved in my room.<br />
<br />
On another note, I was always unsure if my recipes and makeup post were interesting or not, so I stopped posting them I probably should have been posting them while I've hit my Book Wall.<br />

I know everyone has bookcases that owns books, but I just want to present mine to the public. The picture on the smaller bookcase is of me and my boyfriend <i><span style="color: blue;">Ricky</span></i>, and that is a <b><span style="color: #cc0000;">strawberry butter cream</span></b> Yankee candle.<br />

I have become a slacker on reading and I'm sorry, but this semester I am currently taking <b>6 classes</b> which is academic suicide. I promise that I will get a routine going with school work and recreational reading. <br />
<br />
I should outline <i>Middlemarch</i>.<br />
It is a true classic basing its timeline in the early 1800's, from what I've read it seems like an exact depiction of that time period. I am really looking forward to reading this, because any historical literature is my favorite.Daniellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01463896329203753974noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8129527644135310536.post-65478462491956251522011-01-01T16:38:00.000-08:002011-01-01T16:38:08.156-08:00Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-rxH9Zvskkk/TR_EN8-CzTI/AAAAAAAAAC8/UkWnl6GChvQ/s1600/Mockingjay.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-rxH9Zvskkk/TR_EN8-CzTI/AAAAAAAAAC8/UkWnl6GChvQ/s320/Mockingjay.jpg" width="211" /></a></div>Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins<br />
This is the last book in the trilogy The Hunger Games, I am soooo upset that its over because I fell deep in love with these books. This last book brought Katniss into more suspense and action then ever before, if there was any trilogy I would recommend it would be this. I'm hoping that this will be a movie in the near future, because there is no way anyone wouldn't become obsessed with the love and action.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;"></div>The Stranger by Albert Camus<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">This was one of my manditory books I had to read for my Humanities class this semester (In other words not my first choice of reading). So when I purchased this book I was expecting to get something absolutely boring like most of the readings that he imposed on me. When starting this I immediately changed my mind, this book has some depth to it, not just depth but it was actually interesting. So as soon as I started reading I finished it lol no lie it took me maybe 30 minutes to read but I loved the meaning to this book. This book is definitely based on Existentualism, because the protagonist in this story doesn't put meaning into his decisions. I really don't want to give any details to this story, because it is truly bizzare how the story unravals. To keep it short the protagonist mother dies, he is emotionless, this leads to his life being more emotionless and he doesn't care.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

It was not the best book compared to the Twilight series, but it did help explain what we already knew. If your interested in learning about a vampire girl who died, then this is your book for sure. Its a really short story so it would almost be cheaper to buy the book online and read it in one setting.<br />

<br />
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><b>Lets admit it's really hard to find a good skincare regimen.</b></div><br />
Well, I think I found a pretty good regimen for me. I am only 20 years old going on 21, but believe it or not I am starting to get wrinkles. I use to go out in the sun with no sunscreen, and my face is paying for it with discoloration and wrinkles under my eyes.<br />
<br />
I have always been interested in <span style="color: blue;">Roc</span>, and finally decided to fork my money out. I'm not gonna say that it's affordable, because it's average price at Walmart is $20 ea. I purchased the moisturizer, night cream, eye cream, and serum it was around $100. I have read and watched tutorials of people trying this out, and most reviews people only used one part of the product so its kind of hard to say. It has Retinol in it so sensitive skin <u><b>BEWARE</b></u>, I had no irritation so I didn't have that problem. It is great for most skin types, I have oily skin and it works pretty good for me. <br />
<br />
There is more to this line of AntiWrinkle regimen, but I didn't have the money to purchase the rest.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-rxH9Zvskkk/THccmaXNvhI/AAAAAAAAABs/AasWGZ-eIDU/s1600/roc+cleanser.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-rxH9Zvskkk/THccmaXNvhI/AAAAAAAAABs/AasWGZ-eIDU/s200/roc+cleanser.jpg" style="cursor: move;" width="85" /></a><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-rxH9Zvskkk/THcckY-xZhI/AAAAAAAAABk/CBbYJvWvpOQ/s1600/Roc+wrinkle+filler.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-rxH9Zvskkk/THcckY-xZhI/AAAAAAAAABk/CBbYJvWvpOQ/s200/Roc+wrinkle+filler.jpg" width="75" /></a><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_-rxH9Zvskkk/THccimxuJ1I/AAAAAAAAABc/jqnDAq2OBE0/s1600/roc+disks.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_-rxH9Zvskkk/THccimxuJ1I/AAAAAAAAABc/jqnDAq2OBE0/s200/roc+disks.jpg" width="165" /></a></div><br />
So these are the rest of the products for this line of <span style="color: blue;">Roc</span> products, there are other regimens I advise people to look into if you are interested in these products. <a href="http://www.rocskincare.com/index_roc.jsp">Roc Website</a><br />
<br />
<div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="font-size: large;">The Results:</span></div>I actually<b> really</b> like <span style="color: blue;">Roc </span>their skincare line is more effective then any other I have ever tried (I have tried pretty much everyone) I do see improvements in my skin with the discoloration and under eye wrinkles. I really think this is one of the best drugstore skincare lines out there, especially for your money (department stores are way more expensive). I will keep using <span style="color: blue;">Roc </span>and might buy the rest of the products in the AntiWrinkle line too.<br />
<br />
<ol><li><b><i>Moisturizer</i></b>- The lotion is really creamy and you don't need much on your face (a little goes a long way). I use it on my face and neck, because it has SPF 30 which is really great. The smell is fine I prefer no fragrance, but I can deal. </li>
<li><b><i>Night Moisturizer</i></b>- Same creaminess as the day moisturizer, but with no SPF I like to use day and night moisturizers. The night time lotion is a little more greasy but its just the formula and quite tolerable.</li>
<li><b><i>Eye Cream</i></b>- This is a really great eye cream it absorbs into your skin and helps eyes look more awake with less puffiness. I saw a slight change in my dark under eye circles, but not as much as I liked. Wrinkles are definitely reduced it lives up to its name.</li>
<li><b><i>Serum</i></b>- I use this when there is no sun outside, because I won't need the SPF 30. So I apply the serum to my face and neck, and then apply a tinted moisturizer with SPF 15. DO NOT use serum then use moisturizer with retinol in it, it strictly says not to on the box. I can feel the serum tingle and my face looks tighter, I am not kidding when I say this.</li>
</ol><br />
*These are my options and it could be different for you, so please do not take my review the wrong way. Also I am not affiliated with Roc, but I would love to be lol that's how much I like the products.Daniellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01463896329203753974noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8129527644135310536.post-44456880565109025162010-08-26T18:31:00.000-07:002010-08-26T18:31:05.143-07:00Tanaka Face Massage Part 1 (English)<object height="295" style="background-image: url(http://i1.ytimg.com/vi/LrceQS7qdaI/hqdefault.jpg);" width="480"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/LrceQS7qdaI?fs=1&hl=en_US"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/LrceQS7qdaI?fs=1&hl=en_US" allowscriptaccess="never" allowfullscreen="true" wmode="transparent" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="480" height="295"></embed></object><br />
<b>It's the start of my weekend!!!!!!</b><br />
<br />
So I'm writing a blog on something I've been doing for about a month it's Tanaka's facial massage that is suppose to reduce puffiness and wrinkles. I found it on <span style="color: red;">youtube</span> and thought why not I've read many people say that facial massages benefit your skin and facial structure. <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/epicbeautyguide">epicbeautyguide</a> is the woman that supplied and translated the video instructions of the massage.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The Results are in:</span><br />
I actually have seen a difference in my skin, surprisingly my face feels tighter and has reduced my puffiness under my eyes. I usually do it once a day either at night or in the morning, if you have more severe wrinkles and sagging I definitely recommend doing it twice a day. I also reccomend buying facial massaging lotion/oil at Sally's Beauty Supply, it helps the massage go smoothly. Always wash face after and put moisturizer on, I am not joking when I say it works massaging your face is helping exercise the muscles in your face to bring backDaniellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01463896329203753974noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8129527644135310536.post-19324747985578164342010-08-25T20:15:00.000-07:002010-08-25T20:15:39.912-07:00Reckless<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; font-size: x-large;">I'm sorry</span> I haven't been updating it's the beginning of the semester and I'm swamped with homework.<br />

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-rxH9Zvskkk/TGYp7XhfR4I/AAAAAAAAAAk/fQmL4VK2JSY/s1600/makeup+haul.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-rxH9Zvskkk/TGYp7XhfR4I/AAAAAAAAAAk/fQmL4VK2JSY/s320/makeup+haul.JPG" /></a></div><br />
So here is the bundles of joy I received from the postman today: <br />
<ul><li>2 false lashes</li>
<li>1 <span style="color: red;">DUO</span> false lash glue in black </li>
<li>1 <span style="color: blue;">Dinair </span>airbrush foundation</li>
<li>4 <b><span style="color: #ea9999;">Kiss Nails</span></b> everlasting french nails</li>
<li>1 <span style="color: #6aa84f;">Stay don't Stray</span> eye primer</li>
<li>2 lipsticks (<b><span style="color: purple;">urban decay</span></b> & <span style="color: #3d85c6;">e.l.f</span>)</li>
<li>1 free sample mascara</li>
<li>2 powders (<b><span style="color: #f1c232;">too faced</span></b> & <span style="color: orange;">physicians</span>)</li>
<li>1 <span style="color: #3d85c6;">e.l.f </span>highlighter stick </li>
</ul>So here is the low down on the products, because you know I had to try them immediately.<br />
The <span style="color: red;">DUO</span> glue and lashes are really great! I had no worries of the lashes coming off even when it rained.<br />
<br />
I love the <span style="color: blue;">Dinair</span> foundation it is made for and airbrush, but I used it like a regular foundation I learned this from <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/kandeejohnson#p/u"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Kandee Johnson</span></a> on Youtube (her link is on my blog) this foundation lasts and looks flawless.<br />
<br />
Doesn't every girl enjoy having french nails, I know I sure do especially during a big event. Well I'm not able to afford to go to the salon and get my nails done cough, cough recession cough, cough. So, I decided to try false nails I was definitely sceptical of <b><span style="color: #ea9999;">Kiss Nails</span></b> Everlasting French Nails, but after a lot of research and reviews I bought them. I have them on right now...<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-rxH9Zvskkk/TGYuY7blbeI/AAAAAAAAAAs/gY1eAlhVa94/s1600/kiss+nails.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-rxH9Zvskkk/TGYuY7blbeI/AAAAAAAAAAs/gY1eAlhVa94/s320/kiss+nails.JPG" /></a></div><br />
<b style="background-color: #45818e; color: white;"><span style="font-size: large;">BRAVO</span></b><span style="background-color: #45818e;"> </span><b><span style="color: #ea9999;">Kiss Nails</span></b> they are really great nails, and they really do save money. They are <u><b>$6.99</b></u> and last for 7 days maybe more who knows, but they get my approval and two thumbs up.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #6aa84f;">Stay Don't Stray</span> I bought this to keep my concealer in tacked, and it does the trick I'm sure it does the same for eyeshadow.<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">The free sample mascara I'm not going to discuss it was nasty and clumpy lashes.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">Lipstick doesn't always have to be bright <span style="color: #990000;">RED</span> or <span style="color: #ea9999;">PINK</span>, I bought <b><span style="color: purple;">Urban Decay</span></b> lipstick in <i style="color: #351c75;">Midnight Cowboy</i>. I had a free sample of this lipstick and I absolutely adore it, the perfect beige shade for my lips almost like it was made just for me. The <span style="color: #3d85c6;">e.l.f</span> lipstick is just a nude color that I'm going to use to tone down some dark colors I bought.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span> </span><br />
The <span style="color: orange;">Physicians Formula</span> corrector power is great for evening out skin tone or a good base for mineral makeup. The <b><span style="color: #f1c232;">Too Faced</span></b> Candlelight powder is a illuminators dream I love love love it, it is just the right amount of gold shimmer to make you look like a <span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">goddess</span>.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6;">E.L.F</span> highlighter is a eyeshadow/eyeliner in white that I use to accentuate my eyes. I love going to<span style="color: #3d85c6;"> E.L.F</span>, because it is extremely <u>cheap</u> and some of the products are really good.<br />
<br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Tonight for dinner I thought I would make <span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Minestrone</span> with a secret ingredient.... butternut squash. This was absolutely delicious it has no meat so it is great for Vegetarians, but my family are true carnivores. So, I made french bread with ham and cheese in the middle <b>yummy x2</b>. The crock pot is my bff and many of my meals are made around this wonderful invention, so prepare to see many posts based around a crock pot. </span>Daniellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01463896329203753974noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8129527644135310536.post-35862125580305113302010-08-12T20:41:00.000-07:002010-08-12T20:41:19.299-07:00Zombies & Fever OH MY<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_-rxH9Zvskkk/TGS6v27EEJI/AAAAAAAAAAM/XtNxpdslC24/s1600/Dawn+of+the+Dreadfuls.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_-rxH9Zvskkk/TGS6v27EEJI/AAAAAAAAAAM/XtNxpdslC24/s320/Dawn+of+the+Dreadfuls.gif" /></a></div><br />
HELLO <span style="color: #38761d;">Zombies</span> how I missed you, I am truly a Jane Austen fan and truly enjoyed reading <i>Pride, Prejudice & Zombies </i>and <i>Sense, Sensibility & Sea Monsters</i>. When Steve Hockensmith wrote this prequel to <i>Pride, Prejudice & Zombies, </i>so I bought it and read it in one day. I have to say it wasn't what I expected.... IT WAS BETTER!!!! If you love Jane Austen chicks kicking zombie remains read this please my boyfriend loves looking at the pictures lol.<br />

This is a historical fiction based on the <span style="color: #bf9000;">yellow fever epidemic</span>, I am a nerd when it comes to diseases and epidemics I researched yellow fever and 1793 epidemic. Some of the occurrence in this book seem unreal and quite graphic, there is a lot of death and a lot of heartache for the protagonist.<br />
<br />
Recommendation: 6.5/10Daniellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01463896329203753974noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8129527644135310536.post-48772993072641807192010-08-11T23:39:00.000-07:002010-08-11T23:39:44.641-07:00NEW BEGINNINGS<div style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: large;">I have finally arrived!</span></div>lol<br />
<br />
I was a devoted blogger on my old site <a href="http://thebooksuggestion.weebly.com/">The Book Suggestion</a> on Weebly. I decided to change my direction alittle instead of just reviewing <span style="background-color: white; color: blue;">books</span> I'll add <span style="color: #a64d79;">makeup</span>, <b><span style="color: #f1c232;">cooking</span></b>, and<span style="color: #6aa84f;"> random stuff</span> into the mix.<br />
<br />
So I will begin with this first blog catching everyone up, I am keeping the blog basic for now and just trying to get some posts up for everyone. Please feel free to check out my old blog linked <span style="font-size: large;"><b>~~~></b></span> <a href="http://thebooksuggestion.weebly.com/">here</a> and up at the top as "the book suggestion." That is where I reviewed quite a few books (ALOT of books actually lol) and will help you to get to know the style of reviewing I do.<br />
<br />
I'm sorry this is so long but I want to make sure everyone knows that I plan on blogging about books, makeup, cooking, and random stuff. I will try my best to be consistent with my blogs so that people can get addicted lol jk.<br />
