Review: Robinson's Squash'D

Hey

Long time no see. I've been MIA with reviews lately but I'm finally back and have a ton of posts to catch up with so let's get started.

Since I started my new job I needed a solution to my not liking water but not wanting to take a huge bottle of squash to work problem and when I saw the advert for this product I knew my prayers had been answered.

Robinsons have come up with the idea of having squash in a smaller container that can fit in bags for on the go. First off I wasn't sure how great these would be and if they would be as good as a bottle of squash and let me tell you there is no difference.

As you can see from the picture above, you open the cap at the top and you turn it upside down and squeeze a few drops into your water they can make up to 20 drinks depending on how strong you like your drink. These are really sturdy containers, there's no danger of them leaking unless you leave the cap open and lean on it. The thing I love about this product is that they are really handy to just throw in your bag especially if you have fussy children that don't like water or are just generally fussy yourself  

They currently come in 3 different flavours. Summerfruits which is the one above, Orange & Peach (which is my favourite) and Apple & Blackcurrant (which I haven't tried as can't stand Blackcurrant). These are priced at £2.00 and you can find them in your local supermarket. I couldn't recommend them enough. I always have a couple in my draw at work for when I need drink.!

Till next time

Matched #1 Book Review

Hey lovelies

I finally finished my Autumn Reading List and this is the last book to be reviewed

Let's jump in.

Matched (Matched #1)

Ally Condie

Published: 2010

369 Pages

Description: 

Cassia has always trusted the society to make the right choices for her: what to read, what to watch, what to believe so when Xander's face appears on-screen at her Matching Ceremony, Cassia knows with complete certainty that he is her ideal mate....until she sees Ky Markham's face flash for an instant before the screen fades to black.

The society tells her its a glitch, a rare malfunction, and that she should focus on the happy life she's destined to lead with Xander. Cassia begins to doubt the society's infallibility and is faced with an impossible choice between the only life she's known and a path that no one else has dared to follow..

Review

While I enjoyed this book, I didn't love it. It's an interesting storyline and is your average YA book. I feel there's so many of these type of books out there that it's hard to write something new. Most of the YA books that I have read are pretty much the same and this is no exception.

You have the different groups that everyone fits into, their government controls everything they do & there is always one that needs to rebel and cause trouble. The writing is missing something, I'm not sure what though, passion perhaps? The characters didn't feel like they had a proper personality. What ever it was I just can't put my finger on it. 

While I wasn't excited to keep turning the pages to find out what happen, I did want to finish it nonetheless. I will continue to read the series as I am curious to find out what happens.

My Rating: 3/5

Would I recommend: that's a tough question to answer as I did like it but it wasn't anything special. I'll go with yes. I liked it & you might as well.

If you're interested in this book, then you can buy one here :)

Have you read this series? If so what did you think of it?

Till next time

Beautiful Creatures. Movie Vs Book Review

Hey guys!

I wanted to do something different today so I came up with reviewing a movie that was based on a book. I might even turn it into a series on my blog. A lot of books that are turned into films are usually crap with some exceptions (Harry Potter, LOTR) so today I'm going to reviewing Beautiful Creatures. Lets get started :)

Beautiful Creatures

2009

563 pages

Description: Lena Duchannes is unlike anyone the small Southern town of Gatlin has ever seen. She struggles to conceal her power and a curse that has haunted her family for generations. Ethan Wate finally meets the girl who haunts his dreams. On her birthday, she must choose good or evil. In a town with no surprised, this secret cloud change everything. (From goodreads)

Review: I only discovered this book when I was about to watch the movie, so I held off from watching the movie and went and grabbed a copy of the book. I didn't know what to expect from this book when I first started reading it, but I was totally sucked in from the first chapter. The relationship between Ethan and Lena isn't your average teenage relationship. They have to deal with problems that most couples never have to cope with. Lena isn't your normal teenage girl. It's a great read for all YA and adults if you are a big fan of these types of books, its written really well and makes you feel like you are apart of their journey. There wasn't any parts that were boring or didn't make sense. The story was easy to follow with enough secrets to keep you guessing till the end. By the time the book finishes, you are left wanting to read the next book in the series.

My Rating: 10/10

Would I Recommend: Yes!

Now for the movie review.

Beautiful Creatures

2013

Description: Ethan longs to escape his small Southern town. He meets a mysterious new girl, Lena. Together, they uncover dark secrets about their respective families, their history and their town.

Review: I had such high hopes for this movie and was really excited to be watching this BUT about five minutes in, I knew that it wasn't going to be as good as the book :( which I was really gutted about because the book was just so good! The actors didn't fit the characters one bit, its almost like they didn't even bother to audition the actors, felt like they picked some strangers off the street and plonked them into the movie. The actors didn't seem like they put much effort into their roles their was no passion between them unlike in the book. The film was just dry and boring that I struggled to get through it but I powered through and finished it. It's one film I won't ever watch again. 

My Rating: its so bad that it gets 0/10

Would I Recommend: No! 

That completes this review I hope you enjoyed it. Check back soon for more. If you want me to review any books or movies then just let me know in the comments below. Until next time folks TTFN!

XOXO
