Movie Review: That's My Boy

4/5

 

Here's what NETFLIX says:

 

2012R116 minutes

Father-son tensions flare when a disagreeable dad decides to move in with his son and his son's fiancée right before their wedding. But that's nothing compared to the fight that erupts between the unwelcome guest and his soon-to-be daughter-in-law.

 

My thoughts:

 

Pretty funny movie, alot of very outrageous jokes! However the plot twist at the end was very disturbing!

 

 

 

My Gram....

Today is the 12th anniversary of my Gram's passing. My Gram was truly my best friend! She volunteered to watch my daughter when I was a Senior so I could finish school. She had to miss my wedding because she was in the hospital. She was sad, but made my Pap go so he could tell her all about it. When I went to get my wedding pictures, she called me and said to bring them over to her house first because she wanted to see what all she had missed.

I've been told tons of stories of my Gram, like when I was a baby and couldn't say Grandma, she told me I could call her whatever I wanted & I called her a b*tch. As a shy child, I would hide under the bed during birthday parties, so my Gram came and they couldn't get me out from under the bed. She came in and asked me to come out & I didn't want to, so she laid on the floor talking to me until I came out. When I came out, she let me sit on her lap the whole time. :)

That was my Gram, always an amazing woman, always caring and taking care of her family.

I miss her lots, love you Gram!! January 23rd, 1939 to November 16th, 2001

Movie Review: Chained

5/5

 

Here's what NETFLIX says:

 

2012R94 minutes

When he was 9 years old, Tim and his mother were abducted by serial killer Bob. While Tim's mother fell victim to Bob, Tim was kept as a chained slave, forced to bury the bodies of the young women Bob drags home and keep scrapbooks of the crimes.

 

 

My thoughts:

 

Great movie!! I didn't expect the ending, not at all!! I really enjoyed how this boy was made to grow into the lifestyle and made him scrapbook all the killings. Pretty good thriller movie!! 

Movie Review: P.S. I Love You

4/5

 

Here's what NETFLIX says about it:

 

2007PG-13127 minutes

When she loses her beloved husband, Gerry, to a brain tumor, grieving widow Holly Kennedy learns that he left a series of letters behind to help her cope with the pain of living without him.

 

My thoughts:

 

Very sweet movie! I loved how much he did for her to help her move on after he passed. He really went to a lot of effort and time and he really meant his love for her! Made me smile although I don't think there are any men out here who could live up to this expectation!!

PRODUCT REVIEW: Purex UltraPacks Plus Oxi with Giveaway

Recently I was chosen to try new Purex UltraPacks with Oxi. I received my package from Purex Insiders & the above is what was inside.

 

I received a sample to try myself, so here's my review:

Purex UltraPacks with Oxi smell amazing! I loved the scent even after it had been washed, it still smelled amazing! I really like the fresh, clean scent. As for the condition of the clothes, the Purex UltraPacks with Oxi really seemed to get stains out. Just a few things I used them on: ketchup on a two year old's shirt, grease on my husband's work clothes & my son's football practice gear. Not only did it get some of the hard stains out, but it made them smell good too.

 

Now, Purex UltraPacks with Oxi didn't become my fast favorite & there were stubborn grass stains it did not remove.

 

You want a chance to see how well it works yourself? Thanks to Purex Insiders, I have 3 coupons to give away:

Movie Review: Love Happens

4/5

Here's what www.netflix.com says:

2009PG-13109 minutes

After unexpectedly falling for quirky hotel florist Eloise Chandler, widower and self-help guru Burke Ryan begins to realize that his failure to come to terms with his wife's death three years earlier could cost him a chance at new happiness.

 

My thoughts:

 

Pretty good movie, with a good storyline. Seems like all these movies are the same though, I couldn't find anything that makes it stand apart.

MOVIE REVIEW: Dangerous Child

 

Dangerous Child ~ 3/5

 

Here's what www.netflix.com says:

 

2001 NR 91 minutes

Divorced mother Sally Chapman repeatedly covers for her son's outbursts and disturbing acts of violence, but is unknowingly setting herself up as the abuser. It's not until she witnesses the hate in her son's eyes and the fury of his punches that she begins to fear for her life. Petrified by his unpredictable rages, Sally desperately seeks help but ends up in jail. Will she finally reveal the truth about her son and keep him from harming others?

 

My thoughts:

 

Not a bad movie, not one I would watch twice though. Good story, just felt it was a little over played.

Purex Fels-Naptha Product Review & Giveaway

I received a package from Purex Insiders, containing information on the Purex Fels-Naptha laundry bar & stain remover. I had never heard of this product before and was a little unsure of how dependable it would be.

The package itself is nice, easy to open. My only problem with it was that once you open it, it's hard to continue storing it in the original packaging. I actually opened mine completely & stored in a ziplock baggie.

Opening the product itself:

 

The product itself resembles a bar of soap. Not like regular every day soap, but the fancy holiday soap or hotel soap that kinda chips and falls apart. It's appearance means nothing tho!! Keep reading!!

 

 

Stain, Before:

 

 

This shirt had a stain from salad dressing, not just any salad dressing, oil filled italian dressing. It sat on the shirt, untreated for 1 week waiting for the product to arrive so I could test it.

 

Pre-Treating:

 

 

 

The instructions for the product say to wet the area the stain is in, rub the bar on the stain and let sit for 1 minute prior to washing. For the review, I decided to stick to exact directions & set the timer for 1 minute. I used Purex with Oxy as the detergent.

 

 

Due to the type of material (a silky fabric with ribbon around the edge), I had to hang dry this shirt. After about 16 hours, I checked the shirt.

 

Final Results:

 

 

 

The results are in:

 

Purex Fels-Naptha is amazing!! It really worked, took the stain right out of the fabric!! I love this product, I feel like it will protect many of my clothes for years to come!! This has become my new go to product!! I have since used it on my jeans, t-shirts, my son's football uniform. I highly recommend this!!

 

BONUS FOOTAGE:

 

Well, I had a moment & I forgot to snap a before photo of another stain on the shirt. Mind you, the shirt had been washed & dryed multiple times with the stain there.

 

Here is are the results of the OLD STAIN test:

 

 

The red, pizza sauce stain is completely gone!! I Love this!!

 

 

Now, are you ready to try it out yourself?

 

In addition to give me a sample to review, Purex Insiders has been generous enough to give me (3) coupons for the Purex Fels-Naptha to give away to 3 of my readers!!

MOVIE REVIEW: G.I. Joe Retaliation

5/5

 

Here's what www.netflix.com says:

 

2013PG-13110 minutes

In this action-packed sequel to G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra, the elite anti-terrorist team finds itself ambushed and framed for treason by global mercenary Zartan. Driven into hiding, the warriors devise a desperate plan to defeat Zartan's forces.

 

My thoughts:

Alot of action packed scenes, the Rock really went bad a$$ in this movie!! I was a little disappointed that Channing Tatum's character was killed off, but overall, this movie was AWESOME!!

Soft Scrub Mold & Mildew Stain Remover Gel Review & Giveaway

I received a package from Purex Insiders featuring the new Soft Scrub Mold & Mildew Stain Remover Gel product. Also included were coupons to give away right here!! More on that later...

Here's what my package looked like:



I first tried this product on our upstairs shower. Due to insufficiant venting, the bathroom stays damp and the bottom of the shower becomes moldy. My husband cleans the shower, so I gave him the product to try out.

His review:

This product is alright, it's a new way to do the same thing. It doesn't seem much different, just a different look. For the most part, you can not tell that the product is a gel. It seems to come out liquid or foamy. It does work well though.

I was asked to review a product, the Super Glam Rhinestone Bride to Be Sash. First, I received the sash, wrapped up and stuffed into a neat little satchel, that ties at the top. The packaging was cute, a perfect way to either present it to the bride or give as a gift.

A Thank you, including a note that the item was carefully made by Rhinestone Sash.

It also includes Care Tips (keep reading for details) & on the back side, a discount code off your next $20 or more purchase & a list of other sashes they also have.

 

Upon taking the sash out of its' satchel, I inspected it closer:

 

 

 

 

 

Very pretty, stands out and is available in 6 colors.

The rhinestones are very pretty and detailed, causing a concern for care.

 

The card details these care instructions:

Cleaning - Spot Clean Only

Pressing - Low heat, on reverse side only

Storage - Store in acid free paper, in a low moisture area

 

Seems pretty easy to me!! (Best part)

 

Here are a few more close-ups of the sash details:

My thoughts:

 

What a great back story!!! I had heard of the movie, but hadn't seen many previews. I knew Mila Kunis was one of the characters, but I had NO CLUE she would turn into the Wicked Witch of the West!! She played the villan perfectly! It was a really good movie, the kids really enjoyed it. Our viewing included 2 year old twins, a 12 year old, 15 year old & 4 adults. One of the twins was so entranced with it, he barely took his eyes off the tv.

Recommended for everyone! There are a few spots that could possibly scare small children, but overall it's a great story and really explains how everything in the Wizard of Oz came to be!
