Batman VS. Superman Movie Review

To put it plainly, the Batman vs. Superman movie was disappointing. Trust me, it wasn't bad. It actually was a good way to spend my evening. I was captivated. It's just that there were too many scenes that were confusing, and left me thinking "what the heck is going on??" Some things just didnt make sense, and if you decide to give it a go, you'll see what I mean what it comes to Batman and Superman's rivalry. It didn't live up to the Dark Nights and Justice League movies. It was forced. And, this is just personally, but every time Jessica Eisenberg, AKA Lex Luther, spoke, all I could think of was a giant blue bird, namely Blu, from Rio. I was practically bursting out laughing. It was just a wild night. 60% for this movie. Enjoy

Go To Spots in Newport

If you live in California, going to Newport is a must. It's nearly sinful if you haven't been. Since I practically live in Newport for a few weeks in the year, I know first hand what a great getaway it is, and I wanted to share a few fantastic ideas for how to spend your time in Newport to make it the best it can be.
1.Go to the beach. Newport, Laguna, Corona Del Mar, it doesn't matter, all are perfect examples of the way to relax. As a plus, you're bound to get a sea life show! There's always dolphins, sharks, and even seals around to keep you interested. It's also a great place to find some sand crabs or sea shells or simply lay back and tan.
2.Another great spot to hit up in Newport is Rita's Italian Ice. I've already done a review on this establishment, but it's the perfect way to cool off after a day at the beach with some custard or cool ice.
3.Food, food, food! I also recommend Ruby's Shake Shack. It has an enormous selection of anything shakes. Yum, yum! A peanut butter shake is right up my alley.
4.Balboa Island is a great area to go shopping, get some food, and pamper yourself! If you end up strolling the streets there, it's absolutely mandatory to get a Balboa Bar or a chocolate covered frozen banana! If you're in the mood for really spoiling yourself, I suggest Sinfulicious. They carry bath bombs, scrubs, lotions, and you can even costumize your own bath bomb or scrub with any scent you please! My personal favorites are hazelnut, brown sugar, coconut, yuzu, and patchouli. It's like the lovechild of Lush and Bath and Body Works. If you're looking for a shopping spree, I really like Crush. I just bought an adorable and affordable jumper to wear. And if you're really wanting a sugar rush, Balboa Candy is the place to go! Theyve got the best selection of taffy candy that I've ever seen. Yum yum!
5.If you're stuck on where to stay in terms of hotel, I always stay at the Marriott. They've got a Koi Fish Pond, several pools and Jacuzzis, and even places where kids can hang out! There's also a great view of the ocean, some firepits, a sand volleyball court, and playgrounds. It's a great place to relax, hang out, walk around, and play. Plus, there's oodles of cute people.
6.The Fashion Island Mall is the best place to go on a shopping spree, to chill and hang out with friends, and to get energy out. I personally think all their shops have better selections of their items than the ones at home, like Lush, the pet shop (there were baby bunnies!!!), everything was much better in terms of variety and space.
7.See a theatre movie! I really love kicking back in the theatres that have the reclining seats and trays to put down your food. It makes you feel like royalty.
8.Eat out for breakfast! The best places to go are any crepe places (no surprise there for me), IHOP (pancakes are a no-brainer) and my personal favorite is this one restaurant inside an actual grocery store. It has the best potatoes, toast, and pancakes. Delicious!
I'm going to stop there, as the number "8" is my all-time lucky number. Hope if you ever chance going to Newport, you enjoy!

What They Dont Teach You In Sex Ed

Sex is more than just the typical,"this goes in that" definition that you're meant to know. No, it's more about, to me at least, about truly and really loving somebody that much, that you could perform such an intimate act with each other. It doesn't matter about the anatomy or whether you're straight, gay, or bi, or even trans. I think this is what they should teach in the classroom, not the rubbish technical stuff. For me, the emotional part of it really hits home. That's what really makes it special.

The Longest Ride: Movie Review

"The Longest Ride" is based on book by Nicholas Sparks. It's based around two couples romances, and it's very cute. I loved seeing the parallel universe between an elderly couple, and the current one between Sophia and Luke. I also loved the element of contemporary art that played into the plot. It was very refreshing. This movie is rated PG-13, though there is one particularly steamy scene that you might want to avoid with younger viewers. The love stories that play into the plot is about risk and sacrifice, though I must say that although it was a great way to pass the time, it was all too predictable throughout the entire movie, and so I give this movie a 4/5. It's anot entertaining story to watch unfold, yet I found myself calling everything, and I prefer hanging on to the very end for a shocking reveal or twist.

Self Harm

Lately I've been itching to hurt myself. I shouldn't feel like that on spring break, yet change always gets my anxiety through the roof. Even a good bubble bath, courtesy of a Brightside bubble bar, was only enough to keep me sane for an hour or so. And today I took a good look at myself in the mirror, my full physical self. And the scars are numerous, the scars that I prefer to call my map of intertwining tiger stripes. It's a gentler term, in my opinion. Here's the thing. Cutters face a lot of stigma if they choose to show their wounds freely. Most people will either run the other way or make fun, saying it's all for attention, all such rubbish and the like. My heart goes out to everybody struggling with self harm, bexcuse I know the pain and whenever I see somebody's "tiger stripes" as I would say, I just want to embrace them and never let go. But the majority of people's reactions just make things worse. But, on the other hand, I'm tired of hiding what I've gone through. I'm going to wear what I want, go swimming, live life as I please, and my scars, little angry dashes across my wrists, thighs, hips, breasts, it's not going to stop me. I'm proud that I didn't give up andinner that I didn't end my life, and screw everybody who's going to point and mock, or run off in fear. I'm happy with my life now and I may be currently in a rough patch, crying myself to sleep, but I'm in a much better position than I ever was before, and I have the confidence to kick butt now. I think it's time to bring more awareness about on self harming, because people need an education to understand. I'm gonna take it upon myself to help others get help and help others become more aware, and most of all, I'm gonna let it loose.
