Grown Ups 2 Review!

It rhymed lol (:
movie poster!
 
I LOVED this movie! It was so funny. I laughed the whole way through basically in tears. I liked it better than the first. It also had Taylor Lautner and Alexander Ludwig which are nice to look at (: I do think this has more of a like teen/boy sense of humor so adults may not find it as funny? Also it has a lot of cringe-worthy humor(just a warning). My mom also saw it and she liked it but not better than the first and as much as me.
I love Adam Sandler and really want to meet him someday. I think this is a great summer movie so go see it. Let me know what you think down below.
 
Random thoughts:
I might work on my YouTube channel tomorrow!(heyitstay19 fyi)
I might do a review on newish music for the blog.
I'm really doubting I'll ever post my 1D concert experience (too many feels I think).
 
STAY TUNED!

My first ULTA experience!

So, I love watching makeup/beauty vlogs on Youtube. Every makeup guru in the history of gurus talk about Ulta it seems. The closest Ulta to me is about 30 minutes away but my cousins live about 10 minutes away so after seeing them I went with my mom.
I had to take a picture whatta nerd lol side note: iphone 5 camera is no joke right?
 
I was SOOOO disappointed! I had been excited to go since everyone talks about how they go. I normally go to Sephora since its closer.
The reason I was disappointed was they were REARRANGING the store so you couldn't get access to the drugstore products!!!! I think once they finish/fix that mess I'll love it. You could get the high end products which are nice to look at but I can't afford :( So the things I went/wanted to see, I couldn't. I wanted to cry. Is that too dramatic? Can you tell I love makeup?
Anyways, I'm going to give it another try in like a month and hopefully they have their stuff together! Leave comments below telling me what products you love at Ulta (high end or drugstore)
If someone else could tell me they had this happen to them I'd be very happy and it'd help the heartbreak lol.

Book Review: Dash & Lily's Book of Dares

I read Dash & Lily's Book of Dares by Rachel Cohn and David Levithan.
photo from Amazon


Synopsis(from goodreads): “I’ve left some clues for you.
If you want them, turn the page.
If you don’t, put the book back on the shelf, please.”

So begins the latest whirlwind romance from the bestselling authors of Nick & Norah’s Infinite Playlist. Lily has left a red notebook full of challenges on a favorite bookstore shelf, waiting for just the right guy to come along and accept its dares. But is Dash that right guy? Or are Dash and Lily only destined to trade dares, dreams, and desires in the notebook they pass back and forth at locations across New York? Could their in-person selves possibly connect as well as their notebook versions? Or will they be a comic mismatch of disastrous proportions?

Rachel Cohn and David Levithan have written a love story that will have readers perusing bookstore shelves, looking and longing for a love (and a red notebook) of their own


Review:
3.5 out of 5 stars
Likes: The way it was written between Dash & Lily's point of view, Lily's character, the concept of the book, quick read
Dislikes: Dash's character, the way it ended
The book was a little heavier than I thought it'd be (a little more thinking and emotional). I read Naomi and Eli's No Kiss List by David, and I felt the same way towards the book. It's kind of hard to put into words other than the book is just ok.

Randoms:
If you would like more book reviews my goodreads account is Taylor Mingus
