Movie review: Chalet Girl

I keep going with my project of watching as many movies as possible in my vacation and I chose this one because I love Austria, it's my favourite country and I hope someday I'll be able to move there.
Chalet Girl is about a former skateboard champion, Kim Matthews, who's currently working as a waitress. She gets a much better job joining the staff at some rich family's chalet in the Alps.At first, she's very uncomfortable among all those rich spoiled brats, and Caroline (Brooke Shields), her boss is the worst. Her son, Jonny (Ed Westwick) is a charming pretty boy, but he has a girlfriend, Chloe (Sophia Bush) who's everything Kim is not.  While working at the chalet for the winter season, Kim becomes interested in snowboarding, because it's similar to skateboarding, right? and she starts to prepare for a competition.
The movie is very light, there's much talk about winter sports( I hate all kinds of sports), but the Alps do look great and it got my dreaming of a nice winter vacation dare. Hot chocolate, snow, a fireplace....Enough, Kitty, get it together!
For all Austria fans, Ed Westwick fans, or just for those who like rom-coms, this movie is a nice choice.

Summer Splash with Avon Senses

Hi, kitties!
I haven't posted any beauty reviews in a while because during heat waves I don't feel like doing my make-up. At my workplace we have sauna-like temperatures, so it would be useless. My beauty routine consist of 3 essential things anyone should do daily: washing, moisturising and using deodorant.

Because I like to spoil myself and I'm a sucker for nice scents I love the Senses line from Avon. They had their shower gels on sale and I like the fact they have so many different scents. Too bad they discontinue old ones, because they are great. I chose 3 shower gels to have in the shower for the rest of the summer: Passion, Lagoon and Amore. They were 7 lei (1.5 euro) each, so it was a great deal.
Lagoon, the blue one, smells like waterfruits and pear, but the pear is what I get the most. Amore smells sweet, but not intoxicating, like violets, vanilla and musk. I don't like musk, but luckily I don't sense it. Finally, Passion smells like frangipan and tiare flower and it's a really nice, floraly scent.
Since I rarely use perfumes in the summer and I like body mists, I bought an after shower moisture mist, also from the Senses line, called Citrus Burst.

It smells like mandarin and grapefruit and I also feel a little lemon and orange in there, so I love it. I don't use it all over my body, I just spray a little lotion on my cleavage and I rubbed it into the skin and on my neck. So basically I use it like a perfume. The moisture mist was 9 lei (2 euro).
I think if it were up to me, I would buy all the Senses shower gels, that's how much I love them.

Book review: Luxe series by Anna Godbersen

Lately I've been in the mood for historical romance, and these books are set in the 1900's, so they've been a nice summer read. Basically, they're like historical soap opera. I've been reading the first two volumes, The Luxe and Rumors, I have ordered online the third volume, Envy and I have to wait for Splendor to be translated into Romanian by Nemira publishing house.
The books are about the Holland sisters, Elizabeth and Diana. Their family is facing poverty, so their mother pressures Elizabeth into marrying rich playboy Henry Schoonmaker. Henry is having an affair with Elizabeth's best friend Penelope Hayes, but his father wouldn't allow him to marry her because the Hayes family are "new rich", meaning they are not part of the old New York elite. Elizabeth is in love with one of her servants, William, and she's finding it hard to give him up for Henry. On the other hand, Henry gets bored with Penelope and he's starting to take an interest in Elizabeth's little sister, Diana.
You see how complicated everything is?Fixed marriages will do that to someone. So, will Elizabeth find a way to keep her true love? Will Henry and Diana have a chance together? And will Penelope accept to be left aside? You can only find out if you read the books. They are anything but boring.

Every beauty freak's dream: your own make-up line

If you haven't heard about YouTube guru Michelle Phan, than you probably live under a rock. Now, she's launched her own cosmetics line, named em, and she's having the support of L'Oreal for this. I'm not a huge Michelle Phan fan, but I know 6 years ago when I first watched make-up tutorials on YouTube, there were only a handful of girls doing make-up back then, and she was among the first. So, I'm happy for her, because she's fulfilling her dreams. The stars of the line seem to be the Life Palettes, but honestly I don't like the packaging that much, the eyeshadows look like tiny dots with no special arranging order. But hey, that's just me. Anyways, after Lauren Conrad and Makeup Geek it was about time she had her own line. I wonder who's gonna be next?Maybe Kandee Johnson?

Movie review: Two Moon Junction

Hi, kitties!
Because I'm on vacation and most of the time home alone, I watch a new movie almost daily and I want to see two movie categories: travel movies and...sexy movies. I'm not into porn or anything, but I appreciate a steamy movie love scene.
The first movie on my list was Two Moon Junction. I wasn't prepared to like it that much. The dialogue is ridiculous sometimes and the plot isn't so great either, but Sherilyn Fenn and Richard Tyson (I didn't know about the guy until now) had great onscreen chemistry and I wanted them to finally get together.
April is a typical Southern belle and she is preparing for the wedding to a man approved by her strict family. Her father is a Senator and her grandmother is quite wealthy and they want only the best for her. But one day, at a carnival, April sees Perry, a hunky worker she's instantly attracted to and so a hot love affair begins.
That's about 90% of the movie and I won't give away the wedding, but let me just say, the love scenes were...wow. And Richard Tyson was the ideal 90's man (although the movie is from 1988): long hair, full lips and killer abs. And the way he rocks jeans is just...let's just say a want a poster from this movie. Obviously, this movie is not PG, so don't let kids watch this.
Until next time, byeeeee!

Movie review: My Life in Ruins

Hi, kitties!
Long time no see. I've been very busy at my job and we had a heat wave and there were just so many things that kept me from blogging. So, currently I'm looking for a new job (it's really hard to find something here) and I'm on vacation for now, so I plan on catching up with my movie list and doing some light reading.
The first movie I watched on my vacation is this cute romantic comedy. I love traveling movies and when there's a promise of beautiful scenery, I don't even care that much for the plot.
My Life in Ruins is about Georgia (Nia Vardalos), a former teacher who's currently working as a travel guide. She's not that good at this because she wants to educate people a little bit too much, so they find her to be boring. Her boss is planning on firing her, so she assigns her on purpose a tough crowd and a weird bus driver named Poupi. So, Georgia begins her tour with the tourists for 6 days in beautiful Greek sightings. Like I said, the plot is not that great and there were few things that were funny, but I liked to see many wonderful places from Greece.
You know, I won't be travelling this summer (well , summer is almost over anyways), so at least I can dream.
Kisses to you and I'll be back soon!Byeeee
