“the Short Second Life of Bree Tanner”

Jun 06

Ok so I have been a HUGE Twilight fan for about 2 years now.  Stephenie Meyer has just created a world that is so easy to be in and to love being in.  Well as many of you know “The Twilight Saga” is only four books and i have read them all over and over and over again.  I am not a crazy 12 year old fan girl that can’t get enough Edward its just that you notice something totally new each time you read through the books. The way that Meyer portrays her characters allows you to really be thrust into their life.

The story of Bree Tanner is no exception.  Bree a newborn vampire that is introduced in “Eclipse” for only a few very short pages.  She is created by Riley for the evil Victoria in order to add to the army to kill the Cullens.  In this novella created by Meyer you get to see the back story of Bree and what is going through in the days leading up to the fight with the Cullens.  You also get a little bit of romance between Bree and Diego a new character introduced in this novella.

I read this 175 page novella in one sitting and it was really great to read Meyer’s writing again and to be thrust back into the world of the Twilight series.  I wish that Meyer will continue her writing with another character in the series as I know myself and other fans are not ready to leave this world forever…we will see.

My New Favorite Things

Jun 01

Aveda Damage Remedy Intensive Restructuring Treatment – I just had my hair colored this weekend and my colorist suggested this treatment…I get split ends really easy and she said that this will make them occur slower….I love the smell and it does make my hair feel really silky smooth and healthy which is always a plus…we will see about the acutal split end delay.  It is a bit on the pricey side about $30 or so but it seems to be well worth it so far.  I will keep you posted.

OPI nail polish in “Jade is the new Black” - I just bought this color and I love it.  It is a greenish turquoise very appropriately named “Jade” It resembles Asian Jade jewelry but a bit deeper.  I was a bit worried about this color coming off as too “teeny bopper” but it is surprisingly chic and unexpected…I love it.

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJGxXZT-XUU]“Airplanes” by B.O.B featuring Hayley Williams and Eminem – Ok so I am in love with this song.  I have always been an Eminem fan and I am a huge Paramore fan so me and Hayley Williams are like this (fingers crossed).  There is just something about rock bands that have bad ass girl singers that amazes me.   This sound just has such a cool sound and a great message.  I love rap with a message and an awesome girl track to go along with said rap with a message makes it even better.  You can check it out below and i hope you all love it as much as I do. 

“Need” by Carrie Jones - I have been a Twilight series fan for a few years and one of the things that I love most about the Twilight series is that it is a read that really sucks you in and I have had a hard time finding that again.  I went on an adventure for this same feeling this past week at Barnes and Noble in the Teen Fiction section.  I know I am not a teen but this is the quickest and cheapest way to be young again.   While I have not found another “Twilight Series” I have found a good little book that is a quick read that keeps you feeling young while sucking you in. I do feel that the book lots of detail that the Twilight series has but overall it is good so far…i will keep you posted.
