Review: L.A. Candy

After reading 50 Shades of Grey I really needed to get out of the bad book funk, I had read 3 books that were terrible and when I went to the library I just couldn’t find anything good.

So I picked up Lauren Conrads L.A. Candy which I had for about a year now and had never read. I always do that buy books and never read them but if I rent one I feel pressured to read them quicker and then school books I read a few hours (3am-7am) before a test. Procrastination.

This is the overview :Los Angeles is all about the sweet life: hot clubs, cute guys, designer . . . everything. Nineteen-year-old Jane Roberts can’t wait to start living it up. She may be in L.A. for an internship, but Jane plans to play as hard as she works, and has enlisted her BFF Scarlett to join in the fun.

When Jane and Scarlet Los Angeles is all about the sweet life: hot clubs, cute guys, designer . . . everything. Nineteen-year-old Jane Roberts can’t wait to start living it up. She may be in L.A. for an internship, but Jane plans to play as hard as she works, and has enlisted her BFF Scarlett to join in the fun.

When Jane and Scarlett are approached by a producer who wants them to be on his new series, a “reality version of Sex and the City,” they can hardly believe their luck. Their own show? Yes, please!

Soon Jane is TV’s hottest star. Fame brings more than she ever imagined possible for a girl from Santa Barbara — free designer clothes, the choicest tables at the most exclusive clubs, invites to Hollywood premieres — and she’s lapping up the VIP treatment with her eclectic entourage of new pals. But those same friends who are always up for a wild night are also out for a piece of Jane’s spotlight.

So I decided to finally read it and it actually turned out so good. I could related to the characters but they tended to be stereotypical and of course there was juicy drama which reminded me of Lauren Conrad’s T.V. show. It gives you an idea of how reality TV shows are and how some things aren’t scripted but are very much edited.  It was very much well put together with things that I could relate too, it was girly and realistic. But obviously fictional. Right now I can’t stop reading her books I’m on the second book which is turning out to live up to the first one and continued right from where the first book had left off. The first book essentially had no ending, which I was okay with because I had already had the other books.

Overall if you know Lauren Conrad and have seen her show and like it I recommend this book series.

Factory girl.

So I work in a factory part-time while doing my college studies. And I know when women first started in the work force that’s what they were doing, factory work. But as a 20-year-old during college I expect more, I expect to be working a less crappy job; sure it pays more than minimum wage but honestly, It SUCKS.

I would rather work with the public or a more girly job, that I have to put efforts into looking good and being pretty. When working in a factory it is discouraging, no windows, sexist co-workers, favoritism, and just plainly it sucks. You often get sore from long hours, 12 to be exact. It is so long and painful and depressing. Good thing is that was Saturday and Sunday, and now we are Tuesday. Lovely that means there are three days left to enjoy the light, my boyfriend, my puppy and family. Then I go back.

So I have 5 current obsessions, 2 being girly, 2 being … guy-ish? And 1 being random!

1) Maybelline, New York – BABY LIPS lip gloss with color tint in pink punch. It screams cuteeee 🙂 That is why I specifically bought it, give it a try!

2) Maybelline, New York Master Precise, by eye studio in black. If you have seen any pictures of Lauren Conrad she has that classic black liquid eye liner that roles of her lids and into a point. I can master this with this amazing liquid eye liner.  Perfect for anyone who wants their eyes to pop!

3) Resident Evil 5, yes I know! It isn’t even out yet; I’m going crazy I can’t wait!

4) The Walking Dead series, that plays on AMC. As you have probably notice I’m having my yearly zombie obsession. I know I’m out of que with the rest of the world because they celebrate this or are obsessed with this during Halloween, but I’m a wee bit different. Yep best series ever and I’ll like to thank Netflix for this obsession.

5) Twitter, I know who isn’t right? But it is like checking my make up everyday. I have to check it and then tweet. It is to the point my Boyfriend wants to block it, but then the results of that action will lead to a very unhappy life… So he is being smart about it and not saying a thing. Remember everyone happy wife happy life 🙂 Not that I’m married, But we have been together for almost 1 year and 10 months. ❤

What is black and white all around?

So once again I’m in class listening to my teacher talk about how to construct a proper essay about poodles.  I know someone with a standard poodle, he is huge! And super cute and everything . Cute, My puppy is cute. I have still neglected to upload the new video of her; I have a few finishing touches to put on the video. 

I just got back to subway and I have not eaten and I am starving. I can’t eat cause if you ever have had Subway you know the wrapper is like paper and super noisy and that leads to everyone looking at you. Which then becomes awkward, and I turn red and … I’m starving soon. Writing about this is making me even hungrier.

So I just wrote a Descriptive Paragraph for class and I’ll link it down below. I know if you are reading my blog you don’t want to see school work usually.  But this is just a really good piece of work and if I get a low mark I’m going to flip out. ANYWHO …

                                                  Black and white.

  Dutchess is her name and her pronounced markings are obvious to what type of breed she is; that is of course a Siberian Husky. Her name comes from the inspiration of Kate the Dutchess of Cambridge who is married to Prince William. Set above her eyes are two potent white dots about the size of a quarter, and the tip of her tail is white. She looks like she is ever continuously wearing a mask on her face. As titled she is simply black and white, her colors blend into straight exact lines of fierceness. She is insanely playful and always gives you the, “can I touch it?” face before she grabs something she is not supposed to.  She also rolls onto her back and puts her paws on her nose and remains like that for a bit, until someone scratches her white belly. Her ears seem completely out of proportion to her head; they are white on the inside and black on the outer and when she hears a noise, they turn to the direction it came from.  They stand sky high above the rest of her body allowing awareness to seep over her; she knows where you are and what you are doing most of the time. She is a runner and if you are a squirrel well you better be a better runner. When running she is agile but quick, nothing stops her in her tracks except the sound of a mouth blown whistle; then she halts and gives me the “can I get it?” face. After she does that, I have to put her pink harness back on and bring her on a new path around town in hope that she will forget about the squirrel, and in hope that she won’t see another one. Her playful spirit brings joy to my day, she is the child I do not have, and her graciousness, beauty and lively spirit are part of her wonderful personality and looks. Dutchess is one of a kind and I plan on having her as a companion and as my baby for the rest of her dog years.

So what grade would you give this?

110%  adorable? Of course you would, so this happens when we has a choice to write about whatever we want to. Now that schools done I’m going to go do my daily workout, because I’m still trying to get rid of that Christmas weight I gained, Anyone else with me on that one? So this is where I’m going to go sign up for soccer and all that fun stuff just in hopes to shed of a few pounds.

On the not so bright side my house is under repairs.Waa. I want to go home and just relax. Sipping on a tea. Reading L.A. Candy by Lauren Conrad. Have some music playing the back ground, my puppy sleeping on the floor: Perfection. And all this, all of it has been missing for some time now, about 2 months everything has sucked balls. People I want to go back to my home, I hate renovations!
