Yes Man the Underrated Film We All Need Right Now

By -

People today are stressed and struggling more than ever to find what makes them happy and how to live a rich life. Films likewise are often struggling to provide the simple joy and meaning they once did. I don’t know if Netflix and the slow death of theater’s caused this or is a result of this, but films today just don’t hold a candle to the blockbusters of the 80s-early 2000s. We want authentic plots, which means more realistic artsy films that can be long, dull and leave you in a state of questioning whether the world has any good in it. That’s no fun even if the film is good, but many aren’t that good.     Where is that classic plot experience, where the hero might win just as you expected snd the end is neatly wrapped in a bow, but you don’t care because your comfortably engages and wrapped up in the story the entire time. Jaws, Jurassic Park, Star Wars (I know it’s slightly before the 80s), ET, Gremlins, Indianapolis Jones, The Mummy (only the first one and only rhetorical origina

I dreamt forever about having my own house. When I first got married nearly 9 years ago I assumed we'd save up for and buy a house in 5 years or so. That seemed like a good long time and I thought we'd get a really cute little house with character right in the middle of downtown La Mesa, in sunny San Diego county where we both grew up. The houses at the time were pricey, but within reach for a couple who saved for a few years and had two decent paying jobs, which we both were on the way to having. But as time went on we seemed to never have a time where we both had two decent paying jobs. One of us would get a good 30-40k a year job and then the other would be in a lower paying job, or be unemployed. One time I got my dream job and then my husband's company let him go and shut down. Then my dream job turned out to be a nightmare in disguise and my husband got passed over for a promotion for a job that was literally what he was already doing and assured that he was going to

My love/hate relationship with Hello Fresh, an honest review & why they're still worth a try!

By -

       Hello Fresh is a meal/cooking delivery kit that I was excited to try. It's one of those boxes where they send you pre-portioned ingredients, with recipe cards and you cook it yourself. I love these types of boxes because they are fun, help you learn cooking skills, let you try new recipes and usually taste amazing!      So why the love/hate relationship? Well, first let me say  this review though stated strongly will be my honest review including what is good, bad and ugly about this service. I actually have a lot of good things to say, which I think is why I sometimes feel like I hate them because some of their tactics and methods just have so much room for improvement that it makes it hard to continue a regularly monthly membership. They are more like a fling you try again every three months.       I have tried 3 separate subscription with them because over the years as I move houses they keep sending me discounts in the mail saying if I sign up again I'll get 15 meals

How does Justin Bieber treat his wife and what does it say about his mental health?

By -

*Disclaimer this article is all based on speculation of spectators and fans so take this commentary with a grain of salt. Obviously I don't know these celebrities, but am writing based off what the media and fans are interpreting from out of context clips*  I don’t keep up with celebrities much, but when I heard Justin Bieber, aka the Beebs, aka JB, was married I was like “I’m curious when did this happen?” And while I was searching to get basic details like when and where, what I found was lots of videos about how poorly he treats his wife.  It looks pretty terrible. This video  describes various incidents and details about what people have seen so far, but if you watch the clips of him actually talking to her it’s pretty disgraceful. He acts like a child.  I mean you can’t completely judge what’s truly going on with out of context clips. But still it’s hard to imagine a context where these could be taken as anything less than rude and childlike behavior at the bare minimum and a

Adventures with Stitch Fix

I tried Stitch Fix and I was pleasantly surprised. Read on for my review, if you’re looking for a quick coupon code, click here to get your first box free and free shipping.   If you aren't aware Stitch Fix is a subscription box that sends 5 stylist selected clothing items to you, as often as you choose, for your trying on and potential purchase.   I loved this outfit ! My short story: I used to love shopping, but at some point I realized I was spending a lot of time finding items and either never finding what I wanted or finding a ton of different items and being overwhelmed by making a decision within my budget. It always ended up with me spending more time or money than I wanted and still feeling like there were better options out there. Then I realized a lot of my money was going to clothes, but I never felt like I had complete outfits to wear! My pieces didn’t match because I would buy them at the mall and go home to remember I don’t really have anything that goes well with

Depression: When it feels like no one gets you, life is hopeless and you're inexplicably angry all the time.

A letter to the dear one’s who suffer from depression or seemingly unmanageable anger, pain and loneliness. I see you. There is hope. For anyone who has or does or knows someone who has or does suffer from Depression or other mental health disorders I wrote this for you with love. My dear friend, I know how it feels to be angry all the time and you don’t exactly know why. Maybe it’s because the people around you are annoying and hurtful and bringing you down. But deep down you know that’s not the main reason. I know how it feels to feel empty, hollow and sad. To want to be with people, but the second you are with people you just feel annoyed by them. To feel so alone because even though you want to be happy and have friends, you ultimately don’t know how to access the feelings required to be happy and be friendly. I have been there and many times I am there. Trying to love and be loved, but the smallest actions of others sets me off and makes me angry or hurt or annoye
