For Eclectic Music Tastes and/or Those Who Like Taylor Swift’s Music, October 14, 2015
Taylor Swift by Taylor Swift contains some soul stirring country songs such as Tim McGraw, Teardrops On My Guitar, One Song, A Perfectly Good Heart etc. There are also strong vocals on Taylor Swift by Taylor Swift. I admit that I was previously familiar with Teardrops On My Guitar because the song was frequently played on a few of the Jacksonville, Florida radio stations around 2006/2007 (I had been stationed there through the navy).

Duality As Well As Gifts of Good and Evil, October 15, 2015
Avengers Age of Ultron feature the return of the Superhero characters such as the Ironman (Robert Downey Jr.), Thor (Chris Hemsworth), Captain America (Chris Evans), Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson), Bruce Banner/The Hulk (Mark Ruffalo) and Clint Barton/Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner), Nick Fury (Samuel Jackson), and Ultron (James Spader) (there are more actors that also tie into the film as well). Anyhow, there is also the plot development of the growing relationship between the Bruce Banner character and Natasha Romanoff. The Avengers are dealing with formidable characters who have the gift of implanting certain beliefs and/or thoughtforms into people and making them believe that they are their own (I admit that this is all a fictional story but it gave me unexpected insight of being more wise/discerning as to when others are projecting their beliefs for you to have versus my own beliefs as well as developing your own potential boosting beliefs regardless of what even your most gifted critics may say unless their proposed solution is obviously better and/or more empowering than yours). They are also dealing with having to outsmart and outwit a dangerous and gifted being that was actually the unintended creation of at least two of the Avenger characters.

Unexpected Destiny?, October 15, 2015
I admit that I found out about The Librarian Quest For The Spear through seeing The Librarian tv series featured as an advertisement on the Castle Tv Series that I happened to see on tv (as a result through a search related to the tv series I found this movie and was intrigued). The Librarian Quest For The Spear stars Noah Wyle as Flynn Carsen. Carsen gets offered a job interview at the Metropolitan Public Library and his life is dramatically changed one he decides to go for the interview. He’s extremely close to his mother Margie (Olympia Dukakis) who is rooting for him to find a romantic relationship and a stable job. Charlene (Jane Curtin) and fellow library director Judson (Bob Newhart) go ahead and hire Flynn Carsen for the librarian position. The job that Flynn Carsen is hired into ends up being even better than he expected. He discovers that a woman by the name of Sonya Walger (played by Nicole Noone) is hired to protect him after he is sent on a mission to retrieve back an important Destiny Spear stolen from the library. He finds this out after an attempt on his life from an encounter via the Serpent of Brotherhood group members of Lana (Kelly Hu), Rhodes (David Dayan Fisher), and Edward Wilde (Kyle Maclachlan).

Film That Highlights The Adage Sometimes People Are Not As They Seem, October 15, 2015
I admit that I checked out the Perfect Host because the description was listed to pertain to dinner parties (the film was an unexpected find after looking up another celebrity who is affiliated with their own tv show and past talk show but is not on this movie). I definitely watched a movie that was different than expected but taught me quite a bit about imagination, story –telling, character profiles, and plot development. You have the character of John Taylor (played by Clayne Crawford) whose life dramatically changes when he decides to go into the house of Warwick Wilson (David Hyde Pierce) after only telling him part of the story on how he might have got there. Taylor realizes what he got himself into after some time at Wilson’s house. Wilson gives Taylor a strange wine that induces hallucinations and the ability to imagine whole scenes and people unexpectedly. Taylor’s memories of a woman who he fell in love with Simone Demarchi come into his mind (played by Magahn Perry). Warwick Wilson’s neighbor Cathy Knight (played by Helen Reddy) becomes concerned for what she hears next door but goes back to her house after Wilson uses his storytelling skills to explain away the moans and his dinner guest wearing a mask. Viewers are then eventually treated to the job where Wilson is actually employed at to where his coworkers (played by both Joseph Will and Nathaniel Parker) are unaware of Wilson’s double life persona.

If You like Pop and Classical Music Hybrids, October 15, 2015
Diva by Annie Lennox contains many of her classic hits such as Walking On Broken Glass, Why, and Little Bird. Listening to Diva by Annie Lennox is great for those who are open to listening to a mix of pop and classical music. I admit that I first heard of Annie Lennox’s music as a 1990’s teenager both through the radio and from VH1 featuring her colorful and storyteller themed video Walking On Broken Glass.

Outside The Way Virginia, October 15, 2015
Byroads&Byways of Virginia; Drives, DayTrips, & Weekend Excursions by Bill Lohmann covers areas of Virginia that are outside the Washington D.C. area. However, as a side note, Northern Virginia magazine and Washingtonian magazine are both good for those who would like information on areas such as Arlington Virginia, Arlington Virginia, Fairfax Virginia and other area of northern Virginia. Anyhow, this book covers some of the following content; Chapter 6 features getting to the area where Patrick Henry gave his Liberty or Death Speech via the Road to Revolution Trail, St. John’s Church, Hanover County, Scotchtown, Ashland, Red, Hill, and the Blue Ridge Mountains. Chapter 11 Road to Appotomax-pg 130 mention of Hopewell Quick Launch, a brick diner that has been open since 1927 and known for the chili dogs. Chapter 15 covers places such as the Scottsville Museum and Canal Basin Square, the Blue Mountain Brewery and Hops Farm. Obviously, there is more Virginia information within this book (such as Chapter 18 pertaining to the live music scene and shows at the Barter Theater in Abingdon, Carter Family Fold in Hiltons, Ralph Stanley Museum, and Traditional Music Center in Clintwood and more.

Heavenly Light Transformation?, October 15, 2015
Awakenings From The Light; 12 Life Lessons From A Near Death Experience by Nancy Rynes capture the intrinsic nature of the author’s journey after her near death experience. In Chapter 4, She describes her meeting with her Guide and how she remembered her to look ; Her Guide emanated love and did not appear as someone she knew from her current life. The guide had a slim figure and wore long brown wavy hair that fell almost to her waist. The fabric was a long sleeved tunic type of shirt that draped gracefully around her and she either was wearing a long skirt or full drapey pants (Rhynes couldn’t make out which but the clothing looked like either what she lists to be nicely worn-in linen or linen mixed with silk). On page 102 she also shares information on seeing the spirit within others and treating others with love and respect while also taking care not to abuse or mistreat others as well as not allowing others to mistreat or abuse you. She talks about building more connections on page 103 (which is something I reluctantly admit to still being in the process of working on due to the fact that I’m heart-centered but I’m learning to be more outgoing). The chapter on listen to your inner wisdom (chapter 13) is also healing because she addresses that it is actually understandable and encouraged to sometimes analyze if there is truth in a certain fear while separating that from unfounded fear. There is also information pertaining to love and gratitude for ourselves as well as gratitude for tough times (pages 180 and 181). Chapter 15 touches on how each person’s choices can greatly factor into their creative power and reality (something which I reluctantly admit to still being in the process of working on as I know from experience firsthand what she means after my life dramatically changed after I voluntarily chose to leave a financially comfortable and safe navy career in order to chase a career dream and what I felt was best to maintain a lasting marriage because my husband does mean the world to me). Obviously, there is much more to this book than what I just mentioned.

Radiant Pop/Electronic Hybrid, October 15, 2015
Stars Dance by Selena Gomez contains gleaming hits such as Slow Down, Stars Dance, Come and Get Ir, and Undercover. What I enjoy the most about these solid pop/electronic hits are the sunny vibe of these songs that go along with the audacious tone of the romantic/love themed messages behind the songs. Other songs such as Birthday are not love themed but still evoke a fun having an exciting time of life type of aura.

Vintage and Classic Alternative Rock, October 15, 2015
Dreams by The Cranberries is a powerful 90’s rock song that is both stirring and healing to the soul. Fighting the Urge to Look Up The Meaning to the Song, Dreams is about coming to terms with multiple changes happening in someone’s life while appreciating a person who occupies a large place in your heart (metaphorically). I recently enjoyed hearing Dreams by The Cranberries on iheartradio because it is not played as often on the radio where I currently live I completely understand that this song could mean something completely different from what I’m guessing it is but for me the song reminds me of my husband in a benevolent way. This is because he has helped me add even more brighter colors (metaphorically speaking) to my life and has helped me appreciate life even more just by his example of how he sees the positive benefits in certain things that would test even the strongest of souls. Hence, when the lead singer of Cranberries sings you’re a dream to me it reminds me of how I have told this to my husband before (just in slightly different words). Overall, Dreams by Cranberry is both an elevating and novelty type of rock song.

Prolific Travel Documentary, October 15, 2015
I’m so grateful to have come across the Season 4 Edition of Smart Travels With Rudy Maxa both for my own travel dreams and for ideas inspiration as an aspiring author and screenwriter. I admit that I have only got two episodes into it so far, but I plan to watch the rest by Christmas (as well as adding more information) and here I share some of the information I got from two of the episodes that I watched (Episode 1 of Bath and South Wales and Episode 7 of Switzerland And The Alps). Episode 1 from Season 4 of Rudy Maxa Smart Travels contains the following details; 2,000 years ago when Rome invaded Britain they built a temple in Bath, Stephen Clews of the Roman Bath Museum is featured, After Roman Rule ended, the town of Bath became more religious, After 1702 When Queen Anne visited, Bath suddenly became the IT place to be in English High Society, Across Town Jane Austen attended many glamorous balls which became the basis/inspiration for some of her stories, Sally Lunn Restaurant in Bath England which started as a pastry shop (around 1680), Bath Spa and Hotel-famous baths and modern spas within walking distance. There is then also Wells Glastonbury regions covered within this episode and details such as; Wells is one of England’s smallest Cathedral centers. For Glastonbury; historian Geoffrey Ashe was featured , a Roya Welsh show was mentioned, Wales has a lot of Bed and Breakfasts and Rudy Maxa is seen going to a place called the Bear Hotel..

Switzerland has different passes you can use for their public transportation, Zurich Switzerland has attracted writers, intellectuals and there is mention of a place called the Fabric Frontline in Switzerland (world famous designers-which I’m guessing to be both fashion and interior designers, and customers across Europe come to Zurich, there is also the HSBC bank and Credit Suisse that is shown). Other features affiliated with Zurich Switzerland-Hotel Ambassador-a fave with business travelers in Zurich, the public transit is also said to be very convenient around Zurich Switzerland. Last, but not least some bars and restaurants affiliated with Zurich Switzerland that also have their own websites online; Krollenhale Restaurant known for good food and artwork as well as Oepfelchammer Bar said to have been open in Switzerland for at least 2000 years at the time the travel documentary was filmed.

Affordable While Managing The Hair, October 15, 2015
This hair product of La Bella Lots of Curls Styling Gel (22 ounce bottle) contains avocado oi and is perfect for either naturally curly and/or hair that has been chemically relaxed and for various hair lengths. This product is designed to put on dry or wet hair. However, I prefer to put this product in my hair within five minutes after it has been washed and conditioned only in order to hold the texture look of my hair in terms of how it looks right after I have washed and conditioned it. The 22 ounce bottle is ideal for someone with my hair type because I go through quite a bit of hair product in two weeks and I need something economical (which this products checks of the affordable and good for my hair type on both accounts). I understand that beauty comes in all hair types, hair lengths, whether a person wears hair extensions or not, and skin complexions. It is just that I prefer to wear my hair long (at least past my shoulders, elbow length and/or longer)regardless of what others think of my hair or how they feel I should wear it (regardless of what others may say I would wear my hair down to my waist at the longest whether it is curly or chemically straightened) as a personal preference despite how popular or unpopular long hair is in relation to shorter hair in both the private and personal sectors (as well as inside or outside the Hollywood/Los Angeles California regions).

Elegant Lotion Experience, October 15, 2015
This 8 ounce bottle of Bath and Body Works Twilight Woods from Bath and Body Works has a delicate scent akin to brown sugar meeting vanilla scents (the back of the bottle lists that there are hints of apricot nectar, mimosa petals, and Tuscan Cypress). The lotion glides on smoothly and gives a luxurious feeling. I’m fortunate to have been gifted this product through one of my husband’s coworkers.

Apple Cider or Apple Pie Meets Tea?, October 15, 2015
Celestial Seasonings Cinnamon Apple Spice Herbal Tea (20 Bags) from Celestial Seasonings has a rich and aromatic apple spice flavor that I have easily made by simply microwaving water in a coffee cup for a few minutes while leaving the apple spice tea bag in it. This is one of those teas where the apple spice flavor can stand alone or be enhanced with some honey.

This 4.5 Ounce of MAUNA LOA Honey Roasted Macadamias are listed to be roasted with Hawaiian Honey and do combine the rich taste of the Macadamia nuts with the earthly, sweet, and smooth taste of honey.

Discounted Coffee House Experience At Home, October 15, 2015
This 9 ounce tub of Maxwell House International Pumpkin Spice Latte tastes good on its own when mixed with microwaved water in a coffee cup (I usually microwave the water for at least three minutes). However, this mix also tastes delicious in other ways (my husband enjoys the pumpkin spice latte with coffemate peppermint mocha powdered creamer and a pack of hot cocoa mix while I enjoy the pumpkin spice latte with some honey and liquid creamer such as a dunkin donuts caramel creamer that I recently had with this mix).

Delectable Mac and Cheese, October 15, 2015
It was an easy choice for me to get this Four cheese sauce (14 ounce box) of Kraft Macaroni and Cheese Deluxe dinner from my job because of both the taste and affordability of this product. My husband and I made this four cheese blend of Colby, parmesan cheddar, and asiago cheeses mac and cheese with hamburger meat, garlic, mushrooms, and onions. The taste of this 14 ounce box turned out to be delectable and worth the purchase (although I admit that the blend of the cheeses also came as a result of mixing this packet with a white cheddar garlic and herb concoction).
