Loaded Questions

I bought this game a few weeks ago and managed to play it last weekend with a group of friends. It turned out to be a hilarious and fun night. We had a lot of fun with this game. It took a few minutes to understand and we had a few trial runs until we figured out how to play. 

Basically this game is meant for 2-6 people but you can easily play this with more people. Just throw in some other kind of figurine to represent another player or two. The game circles around picking up a card, reading a question out loud and then having players write down their answers. The player moves their piece and if they match who said what they can move up those additional numbers.

We played with the person to the left collecting the answer sheets and reading them out loud  The questions can be taken either seriously or jokingly. Of course my goofy friends had a great time horsing around with the answers but it added another element by not playing seriously. We were cracking up for almost the whole night.

I could see this game being suitable for families, office parties, and for hanging out with friends. It is easily something someone can make appropriate or inappropriate. There are some expansion pack questions like adult, junior, and pop culture so if you get bored of these questions then you can make it new again by adding new questions. Overall, i would say this game is worth picking up and playing. I was really pleased with this purchase.

The Body Shop Vitamin C Face Spritz

I came across this product a few months ago and fell in love with the idea of an instant pick me up spray. I've heard it was refreshing and gave energy while it gives the face a healthy complexion. I read some positive reviews on Amazon and on the Body Shop's website so i was overly excited to try it out. 

When i first tried it,  i noticed it had a really nice smell. It smelled fresh and clean which is one thing i instantly loved about it. I've been using it once a day for about 2 months and i do not feel "energized" and i have not noticed any change in my skin's completion. I had high hopes that this would bring a healthier look to it but so far it hasn't done anything. It does have little sparkles in it which i guess gives off a healthy shine but i didn't feel as if i needed that. Maybe it is just me and maybe it works for other people but considering the price (15-20 dollars depending on where you get it) I would not consider buying it again. It was good for a light spray when it's hot out or when i was done at the gym but I feel as if splashing yourself with water or washing your face does the same thing.

Halloween Party Games

I'm planning on going to a friend's Halloween party so I've been helping her plan it. Here are some really cool ideas that are not to miss if you're planning one of your own.

Games/Activities 

Have a Pinata

Movie Drinking Game

If you are of legal drinking age then this will be a fun game. Just pick a scary/Halloween themed movie and take a drink every time something a person dies or whatever you and your friends decide to drink on. 

Pumpkin Carving 

Candy Corn Relay

Grab a spoon. Place a candy corn on it. Hold the spoon with the candy corn in your mouth and race. The goal is to carry the spoon and candy corn in your mouth and drop it off into a bowl in which friends must compete and race to see who drops theirs in the bowl first. 

Pin the Tail on the Donkey 

I did this last year for a Halloween Party i hosted. I put some fake blood on the picture and drew on it a little to make it a zombie donkey. It was a lot of fun. 

Hurricane Checklist

Living in the northeast we don't usually have to deal with hurricanes. We normally have things like snowstorms to worry about so this is something that is new to us. With Hurricane Sandy just about on us i thought i would write some about some helpful tips/advice to those who may be affected or just want to read to gain some insight on. I'm sure that this checklist can apply to other disasters as well.


1. Secure all outdoor furniture, pots, etc because given a high enough windgust it can easily become a projectile and hurt someone or damage your house.
2. Make sure you have all the needed food and water supplies for i would say 3 days or more
3. Have first aid/emergency kit ready
4. Have all the necessary paperwork and identification ready if needed to leave
5. Make sure phone is charged and backup phone battery (if available). I'm planning on leaving my phone on airplane for the most of the day but turning off airplane for 15 minutes a couple times a day so i can check for texts and such.
6. Keep paper and pen on you or have it in a bag you plan on using
7. Make an escape bag and have it ready. (Fill it with items you would want to have on you if you needed to leave the house in a hurry. It will save time.)
8. Keep some cash on you since it's possible that the banks and atm's could be closed or down.
9. Trim and take care of branches and such that could be in the way of power lines ahead of time
10. Fill the car up with gas because the gas stations may not have electricity which is required to pump the gas.
11. Have gas for the generator in order to give electricity off. If you don't have one then consider getting one (Some run from 600-6,000). It's a back up just in case you don't have power for days. Some areas have common outages for weeks so it really depends on your situation whether or not you want to invest in one.
