H2O

I got this a month ago and tried it today. I'm going to try it out for week to see if my cuticles look better.

My hands still felt silky after I used it today and my nails felt good.

It's supposed to help strengthen nails and helps cuticles and I'm testing it out. 

So day one is good, tomorrow is day two.

Butterfing ice cream and NCIS

I was upset tonight with a friend but I won't be talking about that, want it to stay private.

I'm home from work after working 11a to 720p. I get tomorrow night off for staying today!!!

Watching season 10 of NCIS and eating Butterfinger ice cream which is yummy!!!

So relaxing in comfy yoga pants and ice cream, my kind of night :)

Hats and mittens

A coworker made these for me and gave them to me today. Handmade mittens and a hat!

I love them and even though it's not cold out I still love them! I will wear them and homemade gifts are wonderful!!!

New Dare Teaser!

So excited for this new teaser!!! The man in this picture is super gorgeous and I would love to figure him out!!

I don't have a date for the release but will soon.

I will be posting a bit more today since I'm taking Christmas off to be with family and work my nursing jobs.

More later!

Christmas shopping and Cake!

I did last minute Christmas shopping and I'm done!

Also I'm posting what I bought for my niece and a cake I bought.

This is the MP3 player my niece wanted and it wasn't expensive so I got it for her. She also wanted an iPhone 6 pus after she saw mine and.....

No way! I'm not buying her a phone at 11 years old! I had to wait til I was 18 years old to have one.

Anyways now for the cake I bought. It's really sugary frosting but soooo good!

I did drop it and it's slightly moved but it's still good.

Okay I'm cooking some meals for the next few days for work. 

I'm also going to take a nap at some point today plus read. I'm trying to stay positive all day and not be negative. 

So I'm cooking and got to talk with a few friends yesterday which one of the talks was needed. I'm glad I have a friend who doesn't sugar coat anything when I talk to him.

Will try to post more later, have a great day!

Cover reveal for Raven!!!

 

Synopsis:

Hello, my name is Raven, or at least that's what I have always been told. I live at the Halfway House with Eloise Mayflower, my den mother. I am a paranormal, I am seventeen years old,and, oh yeah, I am a vampire.

Whenever I ask about the family I can't remember, I am met with hushed whispers and looks of deception. Something is not right; I might be a vampire, but I am not stupid.

A sexy centaur named Samuel Mane enters my world, and my future starts looking bright and exciting. When my best friend, Sorin Osmochescu, decides that Samuel is too dangerous and forbids me to see him, I have to make a choice—the only family I have ever known or my true love.

An afternoon chat with council member Rumor Winslow leaves me terrified …

A secret past? Hidden identities? Lives in imminent danger?

Holy sharp fangs, Batman! Who EXACTLY am I?

Feeling Acomplished

Sorry for any spelling mistakes.

Today has been good. I worked this  morning then went home to make dinner for tonight because I'm working a 3p to 11p.

I'm using my bent lunch box that I received as a gift for Christmas. I did take pictures and will post them later.

I have beef with vegetables and a small salad.

I also wanted to be creative and wrapped the beef in seaweed ( sushi wrap) and did the same with veggies.

Ok will post pics later tonight. Working now and need to pay attention.

New book by Jay Crownover

Asa is the last book in the @Marked Men Series"

Great book and I'm looking forward to this story!!

The rest of the guys

This is Jay, an excellent writer and you should check her out!!

Shoutout to ATT

Well I had to get a new phone again!

I had my new phone which was an iphone6 plus, it started working strange today at the public library. I was there to do online homework and my phone wouldn't work.

My phone kept flashing the apple white screen so I tried downloading itunes to make sure it was up to date and made sure my computer was up todate and virus scanner too.

Everything was up todate and my phone still wouldn't work.

I went to the AT&T store in Keene and even they woukdnt get it to recovery mode. They think its a battery issue.

I wanted to give them a shout out because they helped me and they know more about phone problems than me.

The guy who sold the phone to me on Sunday felt bad but it was just a bad phone in the batch. I felt bad because I just got the ohobe so the guys were awesome about it.

We just exchanged for a new phone (same one) and its working good so far.

Thank you to the guys that work at AT&T and thank you for helping me today!

Guardians of the Galaxy

Watched Guardians of the Galaxy last night with Jen.

I have not seen it till last night. I did like it and I did cry. Its interesting how a child gets abducted from the 80's and goes into space to grow up.

I didn't like Zoe Saldana as a green alien and not used to her being green.

Spoiler

I cried when Grout died saving his friends. It was heroic and sad at the same time. Also what is boy toy made of?

Well more later but I would give Guardians of the Galaxy 4 **** stars.

Schedules and new phone

Yesterday was productive and I upgraded to a new phone and added on a tablet.

My phone company is with AT&T and I got great customer service in the store yesterday. I live in Keen, NH so I went in and upgraded.

I got the  iphone6 plus, and I got a tablet. The tablet was on sale for $0.99 and they had a few left. The sales rep was very nice and set up both my phone and tablet.

I made sure that my phone worked before leaving because a year and half ago my phone woukdnt make calls or receive them so I had to set it up.

Called a friend to make sure and she called back so the phone wired which is fantastic!

So I had great service and my phone was set up for me so I didn't have to which is great! I give my AT&T store 5 ***** stars

Now I'm going to relax and have dinner plans for tonight.

More later

Guardians of the Galaxy

Watching a movie with Jen and relaxing.

Got a tablet and new phone. More later

New tattoo! Plus body piercing

My new tattoo that I got at Art for Life in Keene, NH.

Dennis did my tattoo and its a chinese fire dragon. They are known for protection and the "protect hearts" has a double meaning.

The first meaning is to protect my heart and the second from "Queen of Hearts" by Colleen Oakes.

I'm fascinated with the whole 2 queens in wonderland so that is the second meaning, protect the Queen!

When did I post?

Wow! I don't remember when I last posted on here!

I will update later today with some books and reviews

Birthday plus man candy

So it's my birthday and man candy Sunday! 

Not much is new with me but I'm going to share some hotness with all of you!

There you go! Enjoy

Don't Close Your Eyes

Don't Close Yoyr Eyes comes out in just a few days!!!  Out December 8, 2014 This is by author Holary Storm so check it out

Facebook blackout

I'm participating in facebook blackout. It's where bloggers, authors, photographers are not posting on Facebook for 24 hours.

Most photos have been banned even though there is no crotch showings.

For example 

This was taken by Michael Stoke Photography and Facebook makes him censor it but it's ok that Kim Kardashian can post a pic of herself nude and have her ass on Facebook is ok?!?

But it's okay that women are mostly nude on Facebook and that's ok?

I don't agree and Michael Stokes takes wonderful photos and nothing is showing but Facebook makes him censor his photos!

It's rediciolous that Kim Kardashian can have a picture of her ass on Facebook and he can't post a pic of a man who has no crotch showing!?!?

So I'm on here for 24 hours and will post stuff.

I will keep posting on here and Facebook but here for the next few days

 

A Surprise in the mail!

Hi again!

I got a nice surprise in the mail today!

I don't remember if I won a contest or bought the books. I'm ok with either one since it was a nice surprise.

All autographed and by Aurora Rose Reynolds and I'm happy to have them. 

Thank you!

Eyes, Snow, and fun stuff

This pic (above) is from the gym I go to. It was before it started snowing.

Here is the pic after

Ya we are getting snow today and the roads are horrible!

Anyways I went to target and got a few things and had a eye check up.

All is good and of course I forgot how many people are out shopping last minute for Thanksgiving. 

Here is something to make your day brighter 

Done by FuriousFotog, enjoy.

Benefits and eye medication

I normally do reviews but I wanted to talk about my eye doctor visit, the printout I got and my enrollment in benefits from work today.

I have a eye infection and it's in one eye. The white part has been red for over a week so I went to the eye doctors.

Of course there is an infection and I need eye drops. I got a call from target pharmacy and the eye drops were going to cost me $185! So I asked if they could try and get a cheaper one from the eye doctor.

I got a call back today and got eye drops for $100 cheaper! I like that better than $185.

Target pharmacy looks out for their people and try to get a cheaper medicine if they can and I love that they do that!!

Now for my benefits from work part.

I got a benefits package in the mail to enroll and I'm excited because I don't have benefits right now.

So I went online but can't remember my password so I called since today was the last day to enroll.

I though I would get someone who spoke English but with a thick accent and I didn't. 

This was easier to enroll and it didn't take long either. I have medical, dental and eye vision starting in January!

So today has been good and I can get back on track to doing reviews and more reading :)

So that is my news for today and I will start reviewing more!!

The Originals and other things

I have not watched the recent episode of The Originals yet but I will tonight. This way I can do a review tonight or early tomorrow morning for all of you.

Not much else to report on, I have been working a lot and have little time for much else. I am cutting back on all the hours so I can rest more and read more plus do more reviews.

I did some reading las tnight but since I have been having eye problems, I made a doctors appointment to get my eyes looked at and hopefully can get the problem taken care of.

I did some shopping on Amazon for a few things. I like shopping on there and I can get some good deals. I bought a battery for my car starter (remote control keychain) and it came yesterday in the mail. The battery I needed was  L1028 and I thought I would need a watch battery but no this is a little battery.

I don;t get much time to go to a auto store and look for one so I shopped on Amazon for it and got a 5 pack of them. :)

I also bought "The Looking Glass Wars". A coworker told me about this book and its all the books in one. Its a different version on Alice in Wonderland and I bought hard cover which was $13 plus shipping and I will get it next Monday.

I'm excited for this book and look forward to reading it, I have been on an Alice in Wonderland kick for awhile now and I love reading different versions of it that authors have written.

So when I get the book, I will post about it and let you guys know what its all about.

I work at a college campus cafeteria and we go on Thanksgiving break next week which I need a break but want to do a lot of reading besides working my nursing jobs. This will be a good time for me to read the many books on my kindle.

So that is my news for now,  I will post more later tonight or tomorrow morning.

Love the eyes!!

Smoke and Mirrors

Here is a peek into Smoke and Mirrors by Margaret Mcheyzer

Smoke obscures objects on the edge of our vision.

A mirror may reflect, but the eye sees what it wants.

A delicate scent can evoke another time and place, a memory from the past.

And a sentence can deceive you, even as you read it.

 

It took her four months to let me kiss her.

 

And every night I’d go home and jerk off to the thought of her.

 

In those four months though, her skin cleared and she did some shit to her hair to make it less like a fuzzball.

 

“Your hair’s not so fucked up any more.” I caught myself too late saying something that I shouldn’t have.

 

“Pardon?” she asked as she whipped her head around to glare at me. Man, she was fuckin’ cute when she was pissed off.

 

But I knew I had to try harder if I wanted to keep her.

 

I even stopped getting pussy from other girls, because Nadine was who I wanted. And not for a week or month, but a lifetime.

 

“I meant, your hair looks nice like that,” I said.

 

She let out a snort and shook her head. “Thanks,” she said as she put her hand over mine and linked our fingers together.

 

“Nadine, I really wanna kiss you,” I blurted out.

 

Her eyes looked into mine. As we sat in her old, shitty, beat-up car at the drive-in, she leaned over and kissed me.

 

That was the end of me. Her softness was all around me, and I needed to be as close to her as possible. There was something about her, her innocence, her gentle, shy nature, and her pure heart fuckin’ took me and twisted everything inside.

A note from the author 

I don't do 'normal'.

I've found that the more I write, the more I like being different to other authors. I write in first person, and I love to challenge a reader.

 

I take the normal and switch it around.

 

For me, I really enjoy getting a reaction from a reader. So if I can evoke an emotion (regardless of if it's the emotion the reader wants) then I figure that I've done my job as an author I want to be.

 

I really quite revel in taking people out of their comfort zones and pushing them to read something different.

 

My genre of writing is, well quite frankly, where ever my mind goes. I won't label myself because I don't like sticking to one genre.

My goal with writing is just to take people away from whatever is going on in their lives, even if it's only for a split second.

 

I'm a go with the flow sort of person and don't really take a course of action to get where I am going. I live in the moment and don't usually worry about tomorrow because whatever life is due to bring me, I'll be happy to accept.

 

I love my family and friends and will help anyway I can if someone needs it. I really don't like people that are nasty just because they can be, I don't believe that's necessary, I mean life's hard enough as it is!

I hope you enjoy my books, I've had a hoot writing them. There's more to come.....

Til next time.

 

Ipsy

I got my ipsy bag today!

You are probably asking ipsy? What is that?

Well here is a picture:

This is what was in my bag this month. It's samples of makeup and hair products that you can try and review them too.

It's only $10 a month after the waiting list or you can put me down as a reference.

I'm going to try these products tomorrow since it's almost 9pm my time. 

I will update what I like and what I don't like.

If you want me as a reference for ipsy let me know :)

The Originals Part 2

Ok I'm home from work now!

So on this episode we learn a lot!!!!

Esther made a sacrifice to have children she has to give up her first born when her sister comes to claim.

Why would Esther do this? I understand that she wanted kids and had been trying for a year but why sacrifice your first born?

She does this willingly and her sister tells her of the sacrifice but Esther doesn't care at all!!!

Then she tells her family Fryia was lost to the plague which isn't true.

Now we may have The sister coming back to kill everyone because baby Hope is alive.

Part of the curse was also put on the children and if they had kids, they must sacrifice their first born child.

Klaus does not know about any of this but I do know Finn knows everything!

Guess we will wait til Monday to find out what happens!!

I love this show!!!

The Originals

I watched "Wherl Inside a Wheel" last night.

I'm shocked at how many secrets that Klaus's family has even his mother!!

I was confused at first when the episode started but after it made sense.

This episode we learn a lot about the family and what Esther had to give up to have children.

I will continue this after I get out of work.

Not Much

Didn't do much today but did spend time with my niece. I also went to Walmart and still spent time with my niece.

It was a very nice lazy day and got to spend time with family.

I did some reading and need to put laundry in the dryer.

No one wants me around (friends) so I'm home and my grampa ordered pizza tonight so things aren't that bad.

Anyways before I bore you about me not feeling loved, I'm going to stop and watch some NCIS and do some more reading.

Relaxing Day

Today is a rare day off for me. 

I'm spending time with my niece and running an errand. Got a movie playing and maybe doing some writing.

I will update a little later today

Arkadia by Dzintra Sullivan

Since I work 3 jobs it took me a little longer to read the entire book. 

I FREAKIN LOVED IT!!!!!!!

I couldn't put it down and didn't want too either! Bohden an sounds super HOT! 

I love that you have paranormal people tired into real life and just trying to be normal but with powers.

I love Eloise and she makes a wonderful mother figure for Arkadia.

What surprised me the most was Violets family history! It's crazy how her family is also paras but I didn't expect it!!

Love dragon too who would do anything to protect his queen and Bo and Arkadia are soul mates.....making my heart melt!

Can't wait for the next book!!! 

Thank you Dzintra Sullivan for a wonderful book and look forward to more!

This is a MUST READ!!! It's on sale for $0.99 til November 5th!

Fall day

This tree is beautiful!! This weekend is going to be cold and I think it's supposed to rain too.

Wish I had my green tea with me today but forgot it at work.

Looks like I will be snuggling up when I'm done working and get more reading done!

Arkadia

Bought Arkadia by Dzintea Sullivan for my kindle. I'm loving it so far!!! 

I'm really tired and don't want to stop but I need sleep. Ugh I hate that I'm working at 8am!!

Here it is

It's on Amazon for $0.99! A great deal and very good. This book is for 18+. There is sexual content and not intended for younger people.

Facebook page

I have made a Facebook page also called Cassandra's Reviews.

I just update with pictures my friend took yesterday and she has a photography page too. 

My friend Jen did an amazing job! The pictures were taken around Swanzey, NH and it was a beautiful day for them.

I will post my pics then you should check out her page on Facebook and its under Sakura Diamond Photography 

This is my favorite one out of all of them.(above)

That is the set and go check out Sakura Diamond Photography on Facebook! 

Deadman's Wonderland

I'm at my friends house before going to work and she is watching Deadman's Wonderland. It is an anime which is Japenese animated cartoons.

I don't get much time to watch new anime or tv but I do follow tv shows from itunes and a season pass.

The creators of  Eureka 7 (may have misspelled) and its a very messed up anime but really good in a twisted way. I'm not sure what episode we are watching but I like what I am seeing. This would be for 17+ if you decide to watch.

I still haven't figured out what they are fighting for but its good.

There is this little girl and she is scary when she is trying to kill someone and she doesn't care who she kills but her eyes are huge right now!!! Creepy face too but great for a cosplay!!

This little girl has some serious issues from her mother, poor child in this series.

Anyways it's worth checking out even though it is messed up but still check it out!

Apple Iphone

Yes I'm going to complain about apple.

I have the iphone 5 and lately it has been freezing up on me and restarting. Yesterday I get a notice that there is and update so I clicked on it to start updating. Usually when I update with ios I don't need to be connected to itunes.

Well yesterday I needed to be connected. My phone kept showing me that I needed to connect to itunes and I couldn't because I was working and when I'm home, I don't have internet.

So I haven't had a phone for over 12 hours and it does suck but is nice too. So here I am at work where I can use my laptop and connect and restore my phone since it still wont update.

This sucks because I use my phone a lot to update on here and on facebook. So when I couldn't update I was bummed out. I have now learned to be coneccted to the internet and itunes when an update is available to avoid this problem in the future.

I will be posting more when I get the apps downloaded so I can post more on my facebook page and on here.

I have a review page on facebook and it is public so if you get a chance check it out! Its called "Cassandra's Reviews"

I don't have a link yet but will provide one soon.

New earrings

So I bought earrings from Tophatter (app) and I can say I didn't expect them to be so big! They are gorgeous and a little heave but great for a costume or cosplay.

I wanted to do a black and white 40's photo and used and app called photogene to get the black and white.

No they are not real but work well with any dress or cosplay especially if you want to be a princess.

Pumpkin Festival, Keene, NH

I wanted to write about the Pumpkin Festival that is in my home town. 

It's a 24 year tradition that I have grown up with in my 30 years of life. It's fun and wonderful to see what carvings people do.

You can see the costume parade, run a race and go down with family and enjoy the day.

There is wonderful food from vendors that raise money for their place of employment like the fire departments, EMS, and many others.

It's a wonderful festival and we try to break our own record every year and sometimes we don't but we still have the festival and enjoy our time. 

People come from overseas too just to see our pumpkin festival. It's a great tradition that I will miss if we don't have it next year.

Here are some pics that I took before walking to my second job Saturday.

That is what I got while walking.

Sadly riots broke out near KSC campus and a lot of damage was done. Not just to our reputation as a town and as a festival but as a whole.

There were out of state students from Rhode Island, Conneticut and from UNH that destroyed a lot of things. I'm not sure how many KSC students were involved but it shows that this generation only cares about themselves and no one else.

I'm going to add pictures of the destruction that was done and the aftermath of all the destruction.

They made the gym a triage center

Fire trucks and a bus by the gym. The dinning commons is roped off

Papuan way that connects to Main St, 7 ambulances were out front

Trash and cans everywhere

Stop sign laying on the ground

WMUR news 9 was there reporting.

Students and other people tipped a car over and decided to dance on the undercarriage of the car.

We made national news for the wrong reasons and it makes me sad that these riots happened.

Students from KSC got up the next day and cleaned up a lot of the trash and that makes me happy they did. I do know that some students were not involved and I'm happy they are upset about the events that took place.

The people that were involved will not care about their actions on Saturday October 18, 2014. They only care about themselves and think they are invisible! They are not!!!!

I hope they are charged with everything plus the damage costs! They deserve to be held accountable for their actions!
