Funky Monkey T-Shirt

Product: Funky Monkey T-Shirt
Fabric: 90% Cotton 10% Polyester
Review: I really like the shirt it's cute. When I first got it dads like alright where's the shirt (he brought in the mail but waited for me to open it). I showed him and he knew I would love it. The colors are bright and kind of out there. The shirt is simple yet cute. When I first took it out of the package it felt scratchy, Put it on and it's really comfortable! The told me it would run big and I should get a size smaller. I think I could have almost went two sizes smaller. I will have to see after I wash it again. The best part about mine is it is grey, it hid the stains so well. Normally I am not a slob but I must have been having an off day when I wore it because I know I should have had a whole lot more stains then I can see. I hope you check them out and if you get one of these cute shirts let me know what you think!! I know I love mine!

"RedWeek.com is the largest online marketplace for timeshares, and has an A+ rating from the Better Business Bureau. Owners post their timeshare units on our site, and connect directly with travelers looking to rent. No middleman, and no tours. Ever."
Review: The site was nice but you couldn't add or take away things you wanted. I worked for two plus hours trying to get a mock family trip together like we do every year and I ran into a few problems. There were places on there that didn't have the rent option. I couldn't look and be able to add in what I wanted like pet friendly, Kid friendly, etc. You could look up one or the other. I didn't like the navigation of the site but there was a plus side to this site.. The prices were amazing! You defiantly need to check out Redweek for the timeshare rentals and one lucky person will get to for two years by entering the giveaway.

Milwaukee Zoo

I loved the zoo I got an awesome air spray tattoo thing that is super awesome. It was defiantly the worth the two hour drive. We met people there from California that shocked me and my mom but they loved the zoo as well. It was a nice 5 hour walk around the zoo I got to see a wolf sadly only one. The moose were at the vet. The bears were adorable but I felt terrible for the gorilla It just sat there and got stared at he kept hiding his face it was terribly sad. Here are some pictures of the zoo before the camera died.

Film Buff- Guest post

Thanks to Roman May
Movies have always been my thing and never more so than when I moved out here to the country where there wasn’t all that much to do. I love the idea of being able to hole up inside my house and watch an old Western or a modern-day romantic comedy and I know I’m getting to escape for a few hours at a time from my relatively boring life! I recently found a link at work that said Local Satellite Internetfor satellite internet and it’s really helped me stay in touch when I’m at home. I’ve been able to shop online for the DVDs I want (I don’t really have an iPod or anything) and they are delivered right to my door! My movie collection is really growing fast and I’m glad I’ve got that built in cabinet to put myfilm collection in. My friends all think it’s really cool, though, and they’ll drive all the way out here just so we can watch a movie together so I guess it’s not all bad!

Country Inn and Suites

What: Hotel 
Rate: 4
Review: Went on vacation all girls two day vacation. We had some coupon and it was 50 per room which is like 60% off the original price. I guess you get what you pay for. The pool was decent im more of a lap swimmer and the pool was shaped like a bean so I had to wait till my family got into the hot tub to do the laps but it was nice. The beds were rocks the blankets were heavy and the pillows were as heavy. But man best night of sleep ever. I even remember my dream which is rare. The breakfast was decent they had it all but the bacon looked like McDonald's bacon and the eggs were decent. The fruit bowl was way sweet. Almost forgot the customer service was amazing. All around I think the hotel gets a 4 out of 5.

Riverside brewery & resturant

Restaurant: Riverside Brewery & Resturant
Where: Milwaukee, WI
Rate: 5
Review: The food was amazing and although my chicken tasted like stake it was still nummy. I had death by choclet which was to die for. It was so beyond wow. Beyond words. I was so full from my chicken sandwich and friends and beer battered mushrooms but I went ahead and ate the death by chocolate any ways.. It was totally worth it. There were 5 people and the bill was 101.18 Which I thought was crazy but my aunt informed me that it was about 20 a person. Of course my mom and grandma had stake and my 6 year old cousin had the sea food sampler and a chocolate volcano. My mom had stake and cherry jubilee. The food was pretty amazing. So I give it a 5 out of 5.

Genre: Comedy, Family, Animation

About it: When the evil wizard Gargamel chases the tiny blue Smurfs out of their village, they tumble from their magical world and into ours.

My thoughts: I attempted to listen to the book. I hated it I bought it without knowing what it was (I was stupid) So I hope and prey that the movie is better then the book. Although I will not be in line at the movie theaters I will be waiting will it comes out on DVD and then I will rent it and judge it for myself. What do you guys think of this book/movie? Although I may not be excited for the movie I am excited to see a few of the actors. Is there going to be another Cirque Du Freak movie?

Is it September yet? What do you guys think about this movie. Do you think it will be awesome or totally bomb?

Covert Affairs

Channel: USA

Time: 10/9 C

Weekday: Tuesdays

Genre: Action, Drama, Crime

Review: I love this show to no end I have watched it from the beginning and oh man oh man am I hooked. I swear I watch this show just for Auggie. He's the only.... almost only characters name I even bother remembering. Gah. I shouldn't be writing this as I watch it. I had to edit this because they scared me. It is defiantly a great show, I wish I had more to say.

My babysitters a Vampire

Channel: Disney Channel

Time: 7 C

Genre: Supernatural, Action, Comedy

Review: Teen Wolf is for older teens, young adults. But this show is for the tweens and younger teens. It's cute and it has it's inappropriate moments but they are what teens/tweens do its how they think. It's not the same inappropriate as Teen Wolf. My only complaint about this show is the baby sitter would be a better witch then vampire.

Nicki Minaj - Feel Inside ft. Mary J Blige

I will not lie I love Nicki and I love Mary but OMG I hate this song! They would sound better apart, both should have rapped or both should have sung. I don't know something should have changed it is a huge let down.

Verso Clip Light

Who makes it: Lightwedge
Review: First off I have to say thank you to Light Wedge for donating the clip light and Kindle cover. I love them! When I first received the light I opened it and put it on the cover and brought my kindle to the darkest place in the house. The light is way brighter then anyone would have ever thought its not one of those light where you have to get super close to be able to see it no it is really bright! It reflects weird on the kindle but it does help you see a whole lot better with it. Although it says its for E-Readers it also works wonders on physical books. The clip is strong and sturdy, I love how adjustable the neck is, and I can't wait to see how long the batteries last me! The package it comes in is nice and easy to open. The light comes in four different colors, white, back, blue and , red. I also like how small it is. I'm sure you all know the saying bigger is better, well not in this case. This tiny light shines bright, it goes far and it works like a charm. All of those amazing components for only 14.99! All in all, this is one amazing product. To all you book lovers this is defiantly to clip light to get.

NCIS: Los Angeles

Channel: CBS

Time: 9/8 C

Weekday: Tuesdays

Genre: Action, Drama

Review: 

NCIS: Los Angeles, is just as amazing as NCIS is. When I first saw the LA people on the original I knew it would be an amazing show and I have yet to be sorry. There mystery and humor. And it keeps my interest the whole show. But I just dont like that the music is louder then the talking I miss so much info. I hate it. But you do learn more about the charcters as you go along. Even if its a tiny amount of info you get closer to the characters and its like you know them.

Gummy Headphones

Product: JVC Gumy Headphones

What is it: Headphones

Rate: 5

Review: I love these headphones to no end. I am a teenager and everyone knows teens like there music loud. With any other headphones I would be buying a new one each week. But with gumy's I have lasted over 5 months which is an amazing record for me! They come in nice colors, I always go with blue or purple. They are really durable, I normally wrap my headphones around my ipod. I love how long the cord is as well. The one thing I hate about the gumy's is the packaging. The package you get it in is so tough I have to use scissors or a knife. I tried to use fingernail clippers and they broke. All in all amazing headphones!

Review: I must say when I first saw the BrytonPick I was a bit frightened. It looked a bit dangerous. But honestly its not, its safe and easy to use. Of course the first few times you use it you may need a mirror. The instructions are easy to follow and its pain free plus the pick can be used up to 30 days which is a lot longer then picks with string. BrytonPick is really amazing not only can people with braces use it but its portable and easy to use and it even comes in different colors.

Cars 2

Available: Theaters
Rate: 5
Review: The opening is absolutely ADORABLEEE. Then mater, tow mater mater. ahahah Omg I feel like a little kid at a candy store. So the beginning is a total 5 stars. I don't on the other hand understand how the cars can swim...ahah. But the fact that mater couldn't take off his headphones made me mad. :/ There we slow part but then it just picked back up.An amazing end with an amazing story. Really is worth it for the kids.

Beastly

Release date: June 28, 2011
Available on: Blue-ray and DVD
Rate: 4
Review: So I'm sure everyone has either gone to see the movie in theaters or bought it. I am one of those people who borrowed it from someone they knew so if they liked it they could go buy it and if not then ehh only a hour wasted.... Well I loved it, it had it's funny parts. But it also had those parts where I just wanted to fast forward though. I guess in all out of 5 stars I would give it a 4. There was something else I really didn't like. They could have just made him ugly. But instead they dressed him up. Made him look like he had a crazy amount of tattoos and a few burns and some strange cuts and metal looking things. But I guess I got over that quickly. But the witch was... Well she's a witch by why make her look emotionless? Anyways I'm done ranting, it was decent. 

Switched at Birth

Channel: ABC Family

Time: 10/9 C

Weekday: Monday

Genre: Drama

Review: I love this show I connect very much to bay. Somehow I really understand how she feels. The rich parents are pretty stupid and the love triangle...square? I'm not really sure what it is but I can tell you almost everyone loves Daphne. Now heres one persons opinion on the show and I completely Agree. 

"The new ABC Family show, Switched at Birth. I stopped watching the shows on this channel long ago, but I tuned into the premiere of Switched at Birth out of nostalgia for the early '90s movie of the same name. I fully expected to watch the premiere, enjoy the melodrama and never tune in again. Imagine my surprise when the episode ended and I was looking forward to the next week. Three episodes in and I'm still hooked. I think what keeps bringing me back is that the show doesn't keep the focus on the "switched at birth" premise. Instead, it uses that premise as a starting-off point to explore more interesting issues. The most interesting one being class types and how that influences parenting styles. (One of the girls, Bay, went home with a wealthy family, which has money along with the arrogance that can sometimes bring. The other girl, Daphne, was raised by a single mom in a working-class neighborhood. Oh, and Daphne's also deaf.) None of the characters are perfect but I like all of them. Each one is doing their best to adjust to this new situation. But these families have extremely opposing ideas of what is right and how their daughters ought to be raised. And while some conflict has been resolved rather quickly to fit into your typical TV hour, there is still a lot of friction. I don't see these two families becoming The Brady Bunch anytime soon.

And there's so much more going on. Who is Bay's dad? How did this mix-up happen in the first place? Educating Daphne's birth family (and the audience) on her deafness and the deaf culture. I'm just crossing my fingers that the show continues to explore these more interesting real issues instead of being sucked into the melodrama, because so far I'm loving this show. — Lindlee" Source TVGuide.com

Bones

OK so I went on Tvguide.com and saw something about bones. I love love love bones to no end. I feel they can do no wrong. So then I saw this post, and let me just say I am very excited for this next upcoming season starting on November 3. They sure know how to leave you speechless and wanting more. Then by the time the show comes back on your just about ready to implode with excitement. I'm sure this upcoming season will be no different. What do you guys think of bones?

The Voice

Review: I miss this show already I cheered for Javier Colon the whole time! I was team Blake and team Adam! I can't wait for the next season and I hope you all will join me then too! I like this more then American Idol because American idol feels like less completion to The Voice doesn't judge what the person looks like and that is a whole lot better. Because on AI some people go on and dress crazy just to get noticed. I'm not a big fan of AI since Simon left... But this is about The Voice I liked it a lot and I hope y'all watch it when the next season starts! Congrats to  Javier Colon!

So Random

Channel: Disney

Time: 10/9 C

Weekday: Sunday

Genre: Comedy
Review: Honestly, I feel like they are trying to hard to try and be a kids version of SNL. It's not working to well. I loved Sunny with a Chance and I will miss it. But they should not try to replace it. This is pretty uhh odd. I like that they try and there are a few good parts but the way they introduce the show and how they talk with the "audience" is kind of annoying and it seems they are trying to hard.

Herbashine Hair Dye

Brand: Garnier

What is it: Hair Dye

Rate:  1

Review: Friday I got herba shine and dyed my brown hair, black. I did exactly as it said. I waited till late Sunday to really wash it just in case and since then the black just keeps washing out of my hair... Never again will I buy that stuff. Never I am so disappointed it said lasts 28 weeks HA! More like 28 days (if that). My hair looked and felt amazing right after I dyed it but it did not last at all.

Five Guys Burgers and Fries

Resturant: Five Guys Burgers and Fries 

Review: 5 guys burgers and fries what can I say. It was exactly what I expected. Amazing, tastey and, filling. I only normally eat chicken. But OMG 5 Guys was amazing! Totally worth the 18 for a little hamberger, a bacon cheeseberger with the works, 2 large sodas and large fries. It was also a great fathers day present to my dad. Hes one of those all you can eat guys. Ive been dying for more burgers and fries since!

This is the Bacon Cheese Burger

and one large fri fed me and dad.

My little hamburger wasn't pictured. I might try and go for the regular sized one next time!

Downside:

The place is amazing but don't sit in the high chairs and tables. They are wobbly. Both the table and chair attempted to fall over when my Father and I stood up. 

The Secret Circle

The Secret Circle is a new show coming out on the CW in September. I can not wait for it! The cast has Britt Robertson in it! I can't wait! Ah ok I'm done!

Here's the series preview!

Oh jeez, its another book by L.J. Smith. They gonna fire her from this one too?

Teen Wolf

Channel: MTV

Time: 10/9 C

Weekday: Mondays

Genre: Supernatural Drama

Review: Me and my friends are absolutely in love with this show! Were currently trying to figure out who the alpha is and all in all the show keeps us interested and in love with the characters. Most people I think love the main character Scott. But I love Stiles he's funny, a bit crazy, trouble maker and, you can really tell he loves his Friends. Which is an amazing thing for a character to have. Now the love/lust between Scott and Allison is just crazy. It's beautiful and magical and very teen love. ahah. Teen Wolf is a re-make of a movie from 1985. Check out the show.
