Underrated Music; Tank- Next Breath

I am going to start a collect of songs that I think are amazing but are deeply underrated....

Firstly, Let's start with Tank - Next Breath.....I heard this song on the radio one day and I automatically fell in love with song.....This is real Rnb music...Absolutely Amazing.

Have a listen below:

Brian McKnight Shades Chris brown, Mayweather and R kelly


Any Rnb fan will have heard of Brian McKnight. He was there around the times of R kelly and Ginuwine. In the Rnb world he was known for making beautiful, soulful love songs.....Ahh good times.

But now at the age of 43 years old he is trying to make a come-back....Me personally, I love when legendary Rnb artists come back onto the scene but not the way Brian is doing it.

A few months ago I heard about the video by Brian Mcknight called " How your P***** works" The name first of all is a mess....Like really Brian. Anyways, I only watched 3/4 of the video as it was too much of a mess and I couldn't believe what I was seeing....A joke or not....he shouldn't have done that....He lost a lot of respect from me on that one. I can't...

Now, He went on a twitter rant about Chris brown, R kelly and mayweather.....Firstly, I believe it's jealousy maybe because all these guys are doing well in the field they work in but him who does stupid songs now expects to have the same success maybe the money is running low I don't know but the irony of it all is that he, Yes, Brian McKnight was Charged with Domestic violent towards his wife....So in effect their all bad as each other but again who is he too judge....God is the only one who can judge....

 Nether less, he is 43 years old and this is what he does to get his 2seconds of fame back....very disappointing Brian very disappointing....Why not write a good song instead of ranting silly stuff on twitter....I thought people would mature with age but I guess something went wrong with him....

Well, Chris brown responded....honestly, at first I was like chris not AGAIN.....But this was justified....Brian is A FOOL. (sorry if a offended any brian fans)

Red Headed Stepchild by Jaye Wells - Book Review

RATE:★★★★
Pages:325
Author:Jaye Wells
Published: April 2009

 Honestly, I picked up the Silver-tongued evil book first of all....I was in a rush and I wanted something to read. Not knowing this was the fourth book of the series...So then I looked at some reviews and it looked good so I went and bought the first book and I am glad I have done because it's been a long since I have read a book that drew me in so much that I couldn't put it down.


In a world where being of mixed-blood is a major liability, Sabina doesn’t really fit in. And being an assassin – the only profession fit for an outcast – doesn’t help matters. But she’s never brought her work home. Until now.

Her latest mission is uncomfortably complex, and threatens the fragile peace between the vampire and mage races. As Sabina scrambles to figure out which side she’s on, she uncovers a tangled political web, some nasty facts about her family and some unexpected new talents. Any of these things could be worryingly life-changing, but together, they could be fatal …

This time, it’s personal.

Pro's- Personally, I love fantasy sort- off books....It had vampires, magicians, demon, fairies.....that sort of stuff...But if you are like oh my gosh, another vampire book then you will be mistaken....This book apart from vampires is nothing like twilight....It's more mature and raw....I love it. Without saying to much the story is about a half vampire/ half mage and she goes through a lot to find true friends and to really learn who she can trust and who she can't. Obviously, being a half vampire her grandmother made her feel like a second class citizen and in turn she could only become an assassin and then she is put into a mission which in turn changes her life forever and she meets a lot different people and finally, discovers the truth. 

The book was well-written and the pace was fast....I never wanted to skip pages because it was repetitive or going to slowly, which was good....The author had a lot of shocks and there still a lot mystery and hidden secrets that I assume is left to encourage us to read the other books of the series. What I love a lot about the book is there is so much going on it's amazing.

There is also a little romance....and what I love about it is isn't rushed like they met and the next 5 pages their saying they love each other...blah blah blah....The author left you in suspense like will it happen...will it not...And honestly I am surprised at what happened.....It was a surprise from the norm. 

Con's- Honestly, I thought the author could work more on the characters....Even the main character I had a picture in my head but I couldn't relate or fully picture the character....not saying it was really bad but in other books I feel a real emotional connection with the characters...even if their bad or their good. But in contrast I did love the idea with the cat/demon....but even though he was a good character I still believe this character could have been absolutely amazing if there was more of a connection....I don't know. But that's it.

Would I recommend it? Yes, if you enjoy fantasy, vampire books....It's definitely a collection Item. No, if you don't enjoy reading fantasy books...

Warning Strong language.

Nicki Minaj- Right By My Side ft Chris Brown (Starring Nas) Review

Out of the Roman Reloaded album this song was probably one of the best songs for me....Chris's voice compliments it and It reminds of the “Your love,” kind off Nicki and I prefer that Nicki Minaj. A surprise was it had Nas and that was pleasant surprise.

The video was cute and it reminded of those Rnb/hip hop music videos in the early 2000's and I loved them. The romance with Nas and Nicki was cute but I love the chemistry between her and Chris. That was cute and Chris looked like the old Chris who is funny and innocent.....I liked it. Nas looked handsome and because their both like huge rappers I felt there was too much hugging and I didn't know if they would kiss or not....And I am not going to spoil it for anyone.....
 
It was different and simple and It worked.....Props to Nicki. I just think if she had done like her first album and had released Starship, this video, then released the album it would have been better. But hey, what's happened has happened maybe she will learn from this.

Peep the video below:



90210 Season 4 Finale Review (Spoilers)

Oh my goshhh, the finale was amazing....like wow....I am still trying to get over the shock and happiness I am feeling from the show.

((SPOILERS))

I don't know where to start...Let me just go through all the season and how I felt about it. Firstly, there are new writers on the show and they have now left high school and they are grown-up's now going to college and having jobs and all sorts. Honestly, the beginning went from a medium to a low point that I even stopped watching for a bit....It was boring.

There was Naomi and the whole sorority queen bee thing going on which wasn't that interesting, then Liam and his boat story....Then there was Navid’s uncle, undercover story which was also very lame....Then Ade and Dixon....it was alright but I honestly, believed in Ade and Navid. They were great together, I think. It seemed forced, but in the end I believed it. Then there was Ivy and she gets into relationships too easily and she went from raj to the photographer to Diego and they have all ended up badly. Really badly.....I don't know maybe they don't know what to with her.

Anyways, I am done with the negatives,lool. Ermm, Let's just go down the boyfriend lane with Silver....I think she has been with everybody. There was Dixon, who I think is the best....Then there was Ethan...Navid, Ade's baby Adopted father and now Liam.....Boy...Anyways, I think health wise Silver has it worst with her Bi-polar and now the Cancer gene...I feel for her. Then there was the Liam/Navid triangle. 


Honestly, Navid has had his chance, he needs to move on and Liam, his just not believable (too quick)....He needs to go back with Annie. But I am glad she doesn't choose either and she goes with Teddy to help her get a baby. I like teddy and Silver's relationship because Silver was there for him when he came out and I kind of missed Teddy. I think he will give her sperm and then they will have a baby....I can't wait to see what will happen later on.

Ok, the main story that I love is MAX AND NAOMI. I think they are the perfect couple....What I like about Max is that he makes Naomi work...He makes her a better person. Like even when they started out she liked him and he made her prove to him that she wanted him and fast forward they break up and at the beginning she falls for Austin and ends it with Max....I didn't like that part but I guess it was all for the purpose for him to come back. Yay.

Anyways, his getting married to a very nice girl and Naomi is planning their wedding.... and obviously when Naomi finds out who the groom is she gets jealous but I love how Max doesn't just say I love you then but he waits to see if she is really serious because look what she did to him before and Naomi does fall in love easily but with Max I think it was real because he actually cared about her. Even for me it was stressful because I just wanted to shout at Max to give her a chance but after Naomi burst into the church like that and said her feeling and again he just stood there....I wanted to slap him but then he came around and said he loved her....AWWWW.

They are the best couple ever on 90210 and I just hope that they last....Couples can last and still have drama....At least one more season......Their too cute. Nough Said.

Moving on, the biggest shock was Dixon, in a car crash......When I saw that I was shocked....my mouth opened and I didn't see it coming at all. Like with Liam, I wasn’t  surprised but Dixon's one was mind-blowing. I really like Dixon and I hope that he comes back....Please, Annie can't be left on her own.

Annie she has been busy ain't she....I think from the car crash to the cousin from hell to being a prostitute she's not such a goody too shoes like she was when she first came. I like her more now and her relationships are always bad somehow....with the priest...she must have known how that would end up....But I have to admit that was probably the most mature break-up I have seen in the show.

Honestly, on my previous reviews on 90210 I was hash and I still stand by what I wrote but you know what with the writers changing and these new ones coming in....maybe they needed time to get used to the show but now with the last 5 episodes of the series so amazing. I am actually looking forward to the next season. And the people that might have stopped watching the show will probably return.....Predictions for next season.....Dixon lives, Naomi and Max stay together....no pregnancies....travels....no illnesses....just happiness would be amazing. I don't think Silver will have a baby....I might be wrong but I don't see it. 

Bring on season 5.

How to get rid of Stretch Marks- Rescue Oil

My stretch marks, in a way I have gotten used to them, they are like my arm or leg but then there are times that I wish I didn't have then. I have them on my boobs, hips, arms (which is the worst) but I really want to do something about this now. I want to try at least.

When you search "How to get rid of Stretch Marks the first thing that comes up the most is Bio Oil. I have never tried it but that's because it is too expensive for me. For such a small bottle. Anyways, I was in Bodycare and I saw a bottle that looked like the bio oil bottle and and it had a big sign saying £3 for 150ml....which is quite big. It is also available in poundland but abit smaller.

Rescue oil is cheap and it looks like bio oil and it says it does the same thing.

Here is a little bit about Rescue Oil:

Rescue Oil is a specialist blend of natural oils which soothe and improve the appearance of the skin and nails. With regular use Rescue Oil assists in restoring the skin's natural moisture balance and the rejuvenation of wrinkled, sagging skin. It is extremely effective on scar tissue, stretch marks and numerous other skin conditions.

Rescue Oil is safe for all ages, during pregnancy and while lactating, it is easily absorbed making it ideal for use as massage oil or therapeutic bath oil.

Ingredients: Prunus Persica (Peach Kernel) Oil, Isopropyl Myristate, Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis (Sweet Almond) Oil, Oenothera Biennis (Evening Primrose) Oil, Tocopheryl Acetate, Parfum, CI 47000, CI 26100.

Rescue Oil has not been tested on animals.

How to use:
Massage Rescue Oil into the stretch marks and surrounding skin, in a circular motion, twice daily.
It may take 3 months or longer to see an improvement but the time is usually shorter than this especially on younger stretch marks.
You can also add a few drops in every bath you have....that might help to.

Here are some of the reviews:

 "This stuff is amazing, and has done its magic in just under two weeks. It's even working on the stretch marks that have gone white-silver. I haven't even used a quarter of the bottle, and it has worked wonders.
If I had any complaints it would be that it's oily and greasy, but I can live with that because it is incredible."-Jazz

 "This stuff actually works!!!!!!!!!! I was so shocked, it's not too oily and i cant smell anything bad, (i'm not pregnant however!) Any oil on your hands washes off, and you can see results almost within the first week! Very impressed, and bottle looks like it will last."-Blah

 "My marks are old and i have been using this with palmers tummy butter and they both work well. I also use a body scrub and exfoliator and really scrub the skin then apply this oil. my mark and less visable. I will be buying again" - Sel 

"The product does exactly what it says on the description box. It is ideal if you have uneven skin tones, stretch marks, pregnancy stretch marks, aging skin, dehydrated skin and scars.  It does take time for you to see changes, it takes at least 3 month on really bad scarring and marks. My dark marks are very dark, this made my leg look very uneven and unattractive. I didn’t even notice my marks were starting to fade away because I was starting to accept I am stuck with the marks forever, until my mum and my friend brought it to my attention that most of my marks have faded away. It works well on chicken pox scars as well. " - Abi


They are more reviews out there but I thought I should put a few. I am not going to say anything yet except that I will try and put some on everyday twice....minimum.Starting tomorrow and then we will see how things will go on from there. I will do a review in a month from today (Hopefully) with the results and so on until 4 months maximum. If there is no change what so ever then I will try something else.

I really hope this will work.

By The Time You Read This By Lola Jaye - Book Review

RATE:★★★
Author:Lola Jaye
Published: July 2008
I haven't done a book review in some time and I am going to make sure that I do review more regularly on here. To sum up this book it's basically about a five year old who loses her dad at that age from cancer I think and he finds out his going to die at the age of 30.So he starts writing her a manual to help her in her life by giving her advice that she might need.

Pro's- I felt like he was giving the advice to me. It was great advice that I will take on in my life. I could also relate to the main character and it was nice see how things went for her and I loved the romance that went on between her and someone else and it was the other factor of the book that I enjoyed. It wasn't a serious book it was more like a relaxed easy to read kind of book.

Con's- Ermm, It would have been nice to see what would have happened at the end a bit more....The ending was rushed and too perfect I guess. Then it was kind of a coincident that the advise her dad wrote was exactly the same as when she needed it. Aside from that the book was a good read.

Would I recommend this book? Yes, it's an easy read kind-off book and it gets you thinking about life and as a parent it probably will get you thinking about maybe writing something for your child if something bad was to happen. And for someone young adults or anyone going through something this is a great book to read that will give you hope. I think.
