Just Watched: Now You See Me















Synopsis:
An FBI agent and an Interpol detective track a team of illusionists who pull off bank heists during their performances and reward their audiences with the money.

If you haven't seen this movie yet it is safe to continue reading. There are no spoilers here. I myself am a little late watching this movie. When I first saw the trailer I was ready to see it right then and there, but unfortunately I had to wait several months before seeing it. When it finally came out I wasn't aware (I don't watch tv so there are no commercials to remind me). I saw that it was out, but decided to see something else hoping the next weekend I'd catch this movie. That didn't happen and I sadly had to wait till it was out on video.

It is now out on video and I quickly went out to rent it. I really enjoyed this movie. A part of me thought that maybe it would be like Ocean's 11 or 21, but it was neither. Again I am will not spoil the movie for anyone. I myself hate that so I try to never reveal anything unless someone asks me to. The tricks were cool and the story was wild. The ending...sigh amazing is all I will say. I give this movie 5 stars!

Honestly...

I want to lose weight so I can have a baby. Though there are many things I don't like about being overweight. I've never embraced my plus size body. I know there are some great things about it.

1. I have boobs. I remember when I finally started getting boobs period they were small. Before gaining weight I was a C cup. It wasn't enough to make cleavage or anything, but they were cute. Now they are much bigger and sexy.

2. My already big ass is bigger. Men love big butts and I don't know why lol so I get a lot of attention.  Though not always good attention. :(

3. 1 + 2 = an hourglass shape. I have an awesome shape now. I was completely pear shaped before and I felt so awkward, but now it's smokin hot (when I dress for it).

I love babies. Since moving to Minneapolis I see a lot more people than I did in Houston. I see at least 2 to 4 pregnant women A DAY! When I first moved here it make me sad because they had babies and I didn't. Now I am used to it and I try to not let it bother me. I figured maybe my body is broken. If I eat healthy (switch to vegan foods), exercise, and lose weight my body will work again and I'll get pregnant.

For as long as I can remember weight has been a topic I heard a lot growing up. I didn't have weight issues till my junior or senior year in high school, but my mom had weight issues. She would often talk about what was ok and not ok to eat. I remember one time I asked why she uses margarine instead of butter (like my grandmother) and she said the people on tv said it was better for you. I now feel like they were wrong. My butter eating grandmother lived till she was 96 and my margarine eating mom lived till she was 69. This is my theory, but I don't want weight to be an issue for my future children. I figure if I learn to live and eat healthy my children will too and suffer with weight issues as I did. Children shouldn't have to worry about weight, just be children.

These might not be healthy thoughts, but it helps to let them out. I want to love my body the way it is and then I can learn to treat it right naturally.

Review: Zone Perfect Greek Yogurt Chocolate Bar

Today I had the pleasure of trying the Zone Perfect Greek Yogurt Chocolate Bar. I was a little hesitant in trying this bar. Yes, yougurt is good and chocolate is good, but is it good together. Yes it was. I was pleasantly suprised by the taste. All the flavors blended well and didn't over power each other. Though it was chocolate, it didn't taste like candy. Many bars make the mistake of trying to replace an unhealthy snack by trying to be a healthy version. When doing that it sometimes taste weird. I enjoyed this bar a lot and would consider purchasing it.

App I'm Loving!

This might be the first time I've written a post about an app. I download new apps all the time. I hear about them through other apps, articles, and people. I also enjoy grabbing the free apps and songs that you can find at Starbucks locations.

This app I was introduced to through Instagram. Someone I follow on there posted that this app was free currently and to go get while it last and so I did. The app is caled WaterMinder.



To use this app you enter your weight and it tells you how much water you need to drink in a day. As you drink water it fills the picture of a male or female and when viewing the app before clicking on it you can see what percentage of water you have drunk for the day. It will also give you reminder to drink water. Usually about every hour and a half the alarm goes off. As you drink water you select the amount and that's it! Simple app to use and a great tool for anyone who has trouble remembering to drink water. Today is the first day I have used it and it has helped me to remember. I try to log in some water before the alarm goes off. It is a nice challenge for me.

How do you track your water?

Just Watched - Unconditional


Synopsis: A woman's idyllic life is shattered when her husband is killed in a senseless act of violence. As she prepares to take matters into her own hands, two unexpected encounters begin to change everything. (Source - IMDB)

I love movies. I love movies with meaning and that make you think and feel. This is one of those movies. It is a movie about faith, trusting God, and knowing that he will work thing out. That despite your past you can make a difference. That is what I got from this movie. Since my mohers passing I found it hard to be spiritual. I was angry at God for taking her away from me. I have slowly let that angre go. God gives us free will to make our own decision. Our decisions brings us to wherever we end up. That include my mom. Whether he intended her life to go that way or not she still live how she wanted to live. I have to do the same. That wasn't the intention of this film, but it has brought me a little close to God. To wanting His presence in my life again. To not wanting to feel lost anymore.

I was not asked to watch this movie or to do a review. In fact I knew of this movie for months. For months it was show on Netflix and for months I ignored it. I didn't want to feel. I didn't want something to tell me what I already knew, but wasn't ready to hear.

This movie is worth 5 stars.
