Cumberbacth in 4DX

Image
My dearest hubby came home one day last week and said... "go to the cinema or something" So I went to see Doctor Strange. I thought I was in for regular 3D but I was in for a surprise of a 4D showing... Totally forgot that the Cardiff Cineworld was getting it installed when we went on holiday.  Film was good, entertaining and introduced the characters and the special powers. I had few giggles and really felt for Dr Strange. If you like your Marvel films you will like this one. Oh and one of the Easter eggs are so funny with sexy Thor in it. It's like a major men-candy of Easter eggs. But I want to tell you about the 4DX thing... Would this be breaking code of conduct as set by Kermode and Mayo? Well I thought it was fun but I think I would avoid this experience, just object to pay for this, even with my unlimited card. Yes I am this tight with money.  The chairs were moving with the screen, the air pumping into the ears and the chair also mimics the fig

Loot Crate. Box Subscribtion

Image
I am married to a geek. And it is contagious. Also it is awesome! We watch Star Trek (not just the new shiny films with Chris Pine) Buffy  (coz she is the best) Flash and many other amazing things. So it was only natural that we got the Loot Crate. Actually we got two of them due to confusion with actual subscription thing. Mainly of course I got Loot Crate for hubby dearest... and he hated it. Well I guess hate is a strong word. He didn't like it. The theme was Speed. So now we have Cylone ship.... which no one in our household cares about, an Arrow car ornament  (I thought the idea was fun, but it is Arrow) the only things that got appreciated in out household was the bat-mobile key ring and the little replica of car Eleanor from gone in 60 seconds... by the little man. Personally I still think it is a great concept but there is so much of Geekery out where, if I would pay more attention and the website wasn't too confusing ... we would have

Buddy Box

As you know I love a subscription box . It's like a present or a unexpected surprise every month, even if I know it is coming you never know what would be in it or when it will actually make an appearance. I was very sad to cancel the My Little Box , it is truly great, but I have bits of cosmetics and little other delights coming out of my ears, so we thought we try some stuff out...  First of my list, just for me, was a "hug in the box" Buddy box .  It is a very nice concept. Little things to make you happy and fuzzy inside and promote mindfulness.  (oh I totally love this "rooting for you" pin, it's on my winter coat) And you know in a way it made me very happy and fuzzy inside. I do not have a depression but I have the down days ... that I can't really express since I have a tiny human depending on me so I carry on no matter how much I just want to stay in bed.  After getting this box in September I started drinking more

Palmer's Firming Butter. What I thought

Image
I loved the smell and well actually everything about Palmer's anti stretchmarks cream.The texture was rich, smell was great, texture was pleasant. And I don;t really have any stretch marks, just a big c-section scar....  So I thought at the really competitive price I'll try this.  Same gorgeous smell and texture... But I didn't notice any change to my skin. Same soft and wobbly in certain areas... It took long to dry and absorb, this requires time I do not have I have an active toddler to chase after.  And one more thing, since this butter is super thick the pump didn't get all the product out and that my friends was a real downer. No matter how hard I tapped and shook the bottle, I wasted good amount of it. Maybe if it didn't have this pump.... 

Feminist

I am a feminist. Always wanted better representation for women for as long as I can remember. Especially growing up in Russia.   Don't get the wrong it is a nice country to be in, but it is very traditional in its gender roles. Men who stay at home now are being laughed at and considered to be under the thumb. Men also can chose to stay at home.   At the moment I am a stay at home mum and this is no way makes me less of the feminist. We together made this choice. Besides my work stayed in Birmingham in the middle of UK and we ourselves moved back to South Wales.   (he is the best but I do need contact with grownups... This is an old photo) Growing up in the country where women are all thin with long hair and wear heels all the time when I love comfort of flats. No I love beautiful shoes with heels I just walk a lot and these things don't mix for me. Shoes should be good quality and nice and comfy. Last two are together. Hey I don't really fit in into Russian
