Sexy Sirens And Dark Spell Casters

Okay, I am super excited for this post because it is not only a book talk post, but also a fashion post.... say whaaa?!

 

Yeah, that's what I said.

 

Today I watched Beautiful Creatures, which was inspired by the book Beautiful Creatures by Kami Garcia & Margaret Stohl. I have not read any part of the Beautiful Creatures series yet, but I did buy the book long before there was even discussion of a movie. I have no clue why I haven't read this series yet and I am a complete idiot for not doing so, but when I bought it, it made its way right into the stack of books that hang out on my coffee table (Is there a name for that?), which I refer to as "decorations".

 

The movie was quite amazing, but I have heard that the movie does not correlate with the book a lot, which kinda makes me sad, but that makes me all the more excited to read the book and get more insight on the actual storyline.

 

Here is the book with the original cover, which is beautiful I might add and looks better than the movie cover in my opinion. Its got this eerie look to it, which I believe really shows off the book.

 

 





Now here's the part where I get really excited. During this movie I could not take my eyes off Emmy Rossum, who played Ridley in the movie. She plays a Siren with hands down the best outfits!

Here are a couple photos to show you her gorgeous wardrobe during this film.

 

Now here is my most favorite dress by far that she rocked in the movie

 

 

 

I can't explain how gorgeous this dress is, and I think it's because it is such a dark look, but its ultra feminine and sexy with the lace work.

 

Another thing I loved about Emmy Rossum in this movie is her hair! It was this beautiful shade of red and at first it was this sleek super short cut then at other times it was beautifully long with luscious curls.

 

I think the reason I liked the movie so much was because of Emmy... 100% serious.

Waiting On Wednesdays: In The After (Demitria Lunetta)

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine and spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.

 

I am so thrilled because In The After by Demitria Lunetta is coming out June 25, 2013 which is 5 days from now! I have heard soooo much talk about this book from Tea Time with Epic Reads to many book blogs and vlogs.

This is Demitria's debut book and it is about a girl named Amy who must navigate a world taken over by things devouring mankind. Its an epic journey where Amy is in life or death situations and just when she thinks she has been rescued by this colony, she discovers that if she stays, death may come her way. 

I don't know about you, but I always love a great read that deals with the ending of mankind and major suspense and action.

And to show my excitement for this book I shall provide an epic countdown!

Blood, Sweat, And The Occasional Tear

During my Senior year of high school everything was pretty much crazy; writing correlating papers, out of school activities, I mean the amount of work I doing was absolutely ridiculous. During that year, I was not active, besides being piled in school papers and staying up late so my homework was done before first period the next day. All the work I was doing and trying to follow due date schedules really stressed me out and when I'm stressed I eat. Do you see where I'm going with this?

Summer started and when I went to pull out all of my cute shorts and summer outfits... they didn't fit. I was absolutely mortified to the point where I started crying. From that point on, I told myself things are gonna have to start changing or else. Well that's what I did.

I got a membership at my local gym and at the beginning of summer started working out 5-6 days a week from anywhere to 2-4 hours a day. Its been almost a month and let me tell you... it's not all sunshine and rainbows.

I realized that if I wanted to get anywhere, the bad food has got to go. I love love love Italian food and found myself eating carb loaded foods the majority of the week. Different pastas and breads I totally eliminated from my list of foods to eat. Secondly, I eliminated all fluids except water and milk. Thirdly, I started eating small meals in 4 hour increments, so I am always full and I don't go all crazy on the amount of food I'm eating. When it comes to what I eat, I stick to alot of salads, chicken, fruits, and some veggies (I'm no sort of veggie person what so ever). I also eat a lot and I mean A LOT of sandwiches.

Going to the gym and pushing myself has definitely been a struggle. It gets tiring going to the gym everyday for a long extended time. Almost everyday I get up and I am all kinds of worn out and tired, I mean this stuff takes a toll out on you, but for the better. Also you learn to love the feeling of sore muscles. I don't know how to explain it to you, but waking up the next day and feeling something that shows proof that you're working your butt off  is worth everything you're doing.

I will be posting a part two to this post with a little bit more insight and I will keep on posting here and there some exercising tips that I learn along my journey of a fit lifestyle, cause I am right where you are... slightly clueless on this whole thing called exercise.
