The Great Gatsby Review

Hello blog friends!!

So last week I went to see The Great Gatsby with my cousin Elizabeth. And let me just start off by saying OH MY GOODNESS IT WAS FANTASTIC!!!

I have never read the book so I didn't really have many expetations for the movie. Although I do plan on purchasing it now and reading it this summer. But Elizabeth read the book and asked me to go with her so I did.

Ok, review time!

I first want to say that the soundtrack was absolutely wonderful! It was cool how they used modern songs but put of a retro twist on them. I have Beyonce feat. Andre 3000's cover of Back to Black- originally done by Amy Winehouse- on repeat for the past week. Also another one of my favorite artist has a song on the soundtrack as well, Lana Del Rey. I just love her voice and her style just really fit in well with movie and with the soundtrack as a whole.

Now onto the movie. As I said before I have never read the book, or even heard about the plot line for that matter, so I had no idea what I was getting myself into. As far as plot goes it is a twist on a typical dilemma of love. Gatsby once loved Daisy but through a series of unfortunate timing issues they spend 5 years apart and Daisy marries a wealthy man. Now 5 years fast forward Daisy's cousin moves into the house next to Gatsby and Gatsby asks for his help to win Daisy's heart back. Now Daisy and Gatsby partake in an affair when Gatsby asks Daisy to choose him over her husband. Daisy is confused and does not know what she wants. I don't want to ruin the ending for you but it is very shocking! 

I would highly recommend for everyone to see this even if you haven't read the book! It is different than any other love story that has been done before with a soundtrack to die for. It is a very long movie- somewhat over 2 hours- but you will never be bored through out the movie or wishing that it would go faster. Honestly I am going to see it again (late mother's day gift, final exams made me put my plans on hold) and I will be counting down the days until the DVD comes out!

Que Bella Face Mask Review

Hey there internet! I haven't made a blog post in ages so here's a little something that i have been absolutely LOVING as of very recently!!

This is the que bella relaxing aromatherapy face mask! It's a clay mask that smells of lavender. 

Being at college it is very hard to have a proper pamper evening, considering I don't have a bath tub and I share a bathroom with 15 other girls. So today I went to target and picked up this que bella mask for $1.99.

This mask is absolutely lovely! It smells so nice and it is very refreshing. Before you put it on just moisten your skin with warm water and then apply the mask and leave it on for about 15 minutes. Wash it off with warm water and voila! your skin is left feeling absolutely wonderful!

After taking it off I found my skin to be so much smoother than I expected and my pores were noticeably smaller! Also I was hesitant to get this at first because the packaging appears to be small and I thought $1.99 was a bit steep for a one-time-use only product. But as it turns out I didn't finish the entire packet and I think I might get 1-2 more uses out of it!

To sum up: I really enjoyed this product and look forward to try out more que bella products!

Sorry I haven't been blogging recently (not really sure how many people actually read this blog) but by writing this I have realized how much I really miss keep up with my blog. So I will make an effort to post more updates and things. I have just another week and a half left of college and that's kind of freaking me out. Freshman year is almost over and I've absolutely loved college, but I guess I'll make another post on that. With finals starting next week I don't know when I will have my next update, hopefully in 2 weeks or less.

Thanks so much for reading lovelies!!
