Tabula Rasa Book Review By Books_Reality

  
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

* I won this book through a Goodreads' giveaway.*
I was really excited to read this book, but it wasn't what I was expecting. From the very beginning of the story, I was really confused on what was going on. I almost felt like the author just threw me into this world with no background information of the setting or the characters, like I was expected to know what was going on. It was a really fast paced read, which I don't mind in other books, but with this one, it was hard to keep up with it. I often found myself confused on what just happened, and even re-reading that scene didn't help at all. My biggest problem with this book was that it started with one plot scene and immediately change to another one, not letting me register what just happened. On top of that, I didn't get any description of the characters and very few hints what the hospital looked like. It was really hard to imagined the scenes with so little information given. Another thing that bother me was the relationship with Angel and Thomas. In my opinion, if someone was trying to kill me, and then I meet someone who is trying to help me, I would be rather skeptical of their loyalty and not trust anyone. I also think that it was cheese that the main character was named Angel, because every time Thomas called her by that name, it sounded like a nickname. Overall, I feel that the romantic relationship between these two characters evolved rather quickly. I think it was too early to say "I love you"when you just meet them three days ago. The ending wasn't good either. Again, it felt really rushed and just bad quality. Really confusing and not much point to the story. I really do think this storyline had a lot of potential, but it fail to get there.

TRESemme #ReverseYourRoutine ~ Influenster

I received these products for testing purposes. 

So this is the next big thing. What the TRESemme #ReverseYourRoutine is all about is you pretty much apply conditioner to your hair first and then shampoo. It claims that when you shampoo your hair first and then condition it, it can weight your hair down. With this new system, conditioning your hair and then washing it will leave your hair "soft and silky - but still have beautiful bounce". 
I got this package about two days ago and I was really excited! When I first heard about the new system I was really skeptical about it working out. Well, I tried it for the second time today and it worked just like the first time, shocker. Before I go any further, I know that just by using it two times can be really early to decide if I like it or if it actually works. That will have to be another post about me claiming if it actually works or not in about a month of so. Either way, the conditioner does make your hair feel soft, like any other TRESemme conditioner. As far as the shampoo goes, again not a big difference from other shampoos this company has. I never blow dry my hair and I notice that my hair did get somewhat more frizzy. I'm not sure if its from the products or just my crazy hair. That will have to be something to look after. One thing that I did notice with this shampoo so far is that my hair smells real good. There's no special scent to these products but it still smells good (don't really know how to explain). I'm not making any sense here. Anyhow, I'm really looking forward to see if in a couple of days these products will give my hair more volume, as it claims.

First Blog!?!?!

        I guess this is my first blog. I don't know how this works, all I know is I have to write something. Sorry if I misspell something. Writing isn't really my thing, yet here I am. You might ask, so why are you doing this? Good question, I don' really know. I guess since school is almost over and I feel like I need to distract myself. I have no idea how this works. I tried to design my blog thingy but it's really confusing. Either way, this blog website thingy will be about product reviews I do and possible book talk. Now to be quite honest with you, I think I will forget to post. But I'll try!!
