Movie Review : Safe House

Hello Everyone,


So I was able to see Safe House, with Denzel Washington. Who looks like my dad does :)

                                                                                                                                                  


Plot:  

A young CIA agent is tasked with looking after a fugitive in a safe house. But when the safe house is attacked, he finds himself on the run with his charge.


Thoughts:

I loved this movie, I had never actually seen Ryan Reynolds in anything that wasn't a comedy and I have to say thatI  was actually impressed with his performance. It also helps that he is cute, so it gives me something to look at.

Denzel as the bad guy is very believable, he is amazing in most every movie that he does so really I have no complaints about this movie.

Side note: You may not care for the editing on the movie and just the gritty kind of background of it but otherwise it's alright.

Without giving it away you totally won't believe who the bad person is....

Go see it in the theaters.

Thoughts: 

So I have noticed that I am losing my hair in patches, which is so not cool. So I went to my local Sally's to see what they had to offer me. One of the Sales Associate told me that this is what she used and she likes it. I have dry, damaged hair. I along with most other women use tons of chemical products in our hair, be it coloring or a chemical relaxer. The heat from the hairdryer , curling iron and straightening irons do not help either. When she said it was $11.99, $10.49 with a beauty club card I was like what the hay I can try this see how it goes. My hair is growing back in, I find that I don't have that greasy , filmy kind of feeling that we can sometimes get with some products. I like the smell as well. The formula is very thick and creamy which may be due to the fact that it has a conditioner in it. I actually will use a separate conditioner. I heard that this product is comparable to Wen Hair Care Products, I have not tried that particular brand but I totally would believe it from the infomercials I see. I typically wash my hair once a week and do a deep conditioner every 2 weeks. I have notice less breakage.

Overall: I would recommend everyone get this product if you want to try a natural hair product. It has several different types so it would be for all hair types.

Grade:  B+

MAC VIVA GLAM NICKI AND RICKY

Hello All,

So Mac has pushed back the launch of this. The new date will be 02/16/2012



MAC Viva Glam – Ricky Martin & Nicki Minaj for Viva Glam

The fearless Ricky Martin and Nicki Minaj introduce Nicki’s lipstick in a scene-stealing pink and Ricky’s colourless Lip Conditioner in a Tube that goes from day to dance floor! With every cent of the selling price supporting the MAC AIDS Fund, it doesn’t get any hotter. They’ve teamed up to raise HIV/AIDS awareness among young people around the globe. Nicki and Ricky dare you to be bold. Be beautiful. Be safe.



I saw the colors, the lipstick is amazing it is really a bright color. I am however disappointed with the lip-conditioner as a Viva Glam item. I was expecting something with some color, something to wow me but if you love Ricky Martin you can get it for his autograph.
