Product Review: Venus Embrace Razor.

I received a complimentary Venus Embrace razor from Influenster in my Cosmo VoxBox to review.

I have been using Venus razors for years, so I was pretty excited to receive this. The Embrace razor is smooth and gets a pretty close shave.

I love that the Venus razor handle can use any of the razor blade refills.

I would highly recommend the Venus Embrace razor.

Book Club Friday! - Divergent by Veronica Roth

Link up!

This week (although it's been quite a while!) I'm reviewing Divergent by Veronica Roth.

Synopsis from GoodReads:

In Beatrice Prior's dystopian Chicago world, society is divided into five factions, each dedicated to the cultivation of a particular virtue--Candor (the honest), Abnegation (the selfless), Dauntless (the brave), Amity (the peaceful), and Erudite (the intelligent). On an appointed day of every year, all sixteen-year-olds must select the faction to which they will devote the rest of their lives. For Beatrice, the decision is between staying with her family and being who she really is--she can't have both. So she makes a choice that surprises everyone, including herself.

During the highly competitive initiation that follows, Beatrice renames herself Tris and struggles alongside her fellow initiates to live out the choice they have made. Together they must undergo extreme physical tests of endurance and intense psychological simulations, some with devastating consequences. As initiation transforms them all, Tris must determine who her friends really are--and where, exactly, a romance with a sometimes fascinating, sometimes exasperating boy fits into the life she's chosen. But Tris also has a secret, one she's kept hidden from everyone because she's been warned it can mean death. And as she discovers unrest and growing conflict that threaten to unravel her seemingly perfect society, she also learns that her secret might help her save those she loves . . . or it might destroy her.

 My Review:

This book is INTENSE. I absolutely loved it and finished in less than 3 days. It is full of action and I became really attached to the characters. Roth is a great writer and I cannot wait to start Insurgent.

Five out of five stars :)

What have you been reading?

xox.

SWW!

I certainly haven't linked up for a while.. so let's say "So what!"

• I still haven't begun my Macroeconomics course, and this is the 2nd time I'm taking it. Everything is due at the end of the semester, and I'm focusing on History, as that's a fast-paced class.
• Me & Momma are going to pig out on "Charlie" dogs & "schooners" (massive beers) at Miles Inn for supper. I'm hoping they're delish!
• My car is a mess right now. There's always tomorrow to clean it!
• I splurged & did a lot of shopping this weekend. I had wanted these Calvin Klein pumps & I finally snagged them on clearance + 25% off with the Goodwill Sale at Younkers! I paid $20.04 for them!!

Available at Amazon ($109-119)

•  I'm so, so beyond sick of guys right now. Read previous post. (At least I have fabulous shoes!)

What are you saying SO WHAT! to today!?

Happy Hump Day!

There isn't anything left for you.

Lately, I feel like I can relate a lot of new rock songs to how I feel about people.

Especially the lyrics to "Forget You" by Digital Summer.

Shut your mouth, I'm done listening to you. 

It's over, it's over, I've had enough with you.

I'm single, obvi.

I have been for a couple o' years now.

I'm starting believe that the large majority of guys are fidiots.

I met a guy, we hung out a couple of times.

He kissed me once, on my birthday. But other than that, no attempts since.

I went out with a girl friend a couple weeks ago & he met up with us.

He paid for my tab, which I told him that he did not need to do.

We went to breakfast after drinking, and he paid for my meal.

Which I told him that he did not have to do that.

He took me home and was silent the complete way home.

I said, "thanks for the ride, see ya later," and went inside.

Buzzzz....

"That's it?"

I might have replied, "goodnight!" or something, but wtf does "that's it?" mean... it's not like he even tried to kiss me or anything. It's 3am. GO HOME.

The next day I had to drive out of town for a business trip.

He texted me numerous times... then this....

"I didn't realize how much money I spent on you last night 

and you didn't even let me sleep with you."

ARE YOU F'ING KIDDING ME!?

I have never been so appalled.

This is what dating is coming to.

He still doesn't think he said anything wrong.

What's the worst thing a guy has ever said to you?

Does this take the cake?

It certainly does for me.

Searching for Buried Treasure.

Every Friday, [BaubleBar] sends an email with a hint to search for a jewelry item that's on sale for $10!

Lately, it's been some pretty cute pieces.

Today's find is a stud bracelet available in a few different colors.

A couple weeks ago, it was this necklace, which I got in hot pink & turquoise.

Sometimes, it's just fun to see if I can figure out which item is on sale :)
Go check it out & sign up for the hints!
