Book Review: The Death Class: A True Story About Life by Erika Hayasaki

Hi everyone!
I hope you all are doing well! Now this book was in my February favorites and I have been dying to review it! So here it is!

This book is called The Death Class:True Story About Life.

Summary: This book is through the eyes of a journalist who goes to a  Kean University and follows around a professor named Norma Bowe, who teaches a class about death. Through out the book, you find out the stories about five students, the journalist and the professor. The book is filled with truth, heartache, death, tragedy, and addiction.

My Opinion: This book was incredible! This book really opens your eyes about life and death. Most of the deaths that they talk about in the book are from people who have been killed. This book is a page turner and once you pick it up, you will not want to put it down. I also liked how even though this book was sad, there were happy moments throughout the book and you just cherished them. Also, when the I slowly started learning about everyone stories, it made me realize that you really cannot judge a book by it's cover because you have no idea what a person has gone through. That was something that really stood out to me. The biggest thing that shocked me was when I found out that this was a true story. That there really is a Norma Bowe who teaches a death class at a university. It makes me want to go to that university, just to take her class.

I think everyone should read this book. It is just so honest about life and the tragedies of it. I do not really like books like this because I am more into happy books but I am so glad I read this book because it really opened my eyes on life, death and people. I do not recommend this book to anyone younger than 16. This book has some pretty graphic scenes and this book is for more mature readers.

I really hope you all read this book and please let me know what you think of it! If there is any book you want me to read and review, please let me know because I will be more than happy to! :)

Carpe Diem,
Sophia

Battle of the BB Creams!

Hello everyone! Now as you all can tell, I love the Battle of the series. The reason why is because I can review a bunch of products for you all in one blog post. Since it is summer and not many of you want to wear a ton of make up, I thought I would tell you my favorite BB creams. I also want to let you know that there might not be many blog posts in the month of July. The reason is because I am in college at the moment and I am super busy. I will try to put up as many as I can but I just want to let you all know! :) I hoped you all had a wonderful June! What is a BB cream?    Now BB stands for blemish balm. A BB cream is supposed to have a moisturizer, primer, concealer, skin treatment and foundation all in one. BB creams have been all the rage for a while now but not many people talk about them anymore.   NOW LET'S GET READY TO RUMBLE! Round 1: This is the  L'oreal Magic Skin Beautifier BB Cream . This BB cream was one of the first BB creams that ...

First Impression: Sephora Favorites Meet Your Match!

Hello everyone! I am super excited to be doing my first first impression blog post! Yay! Now I got this a while ago but I have not really touched it or played around with it. A first impression is basically my opinion on these products and how I think of them the first time I swatch them, use them , stuff like that. Now this is a value set from Sephora and it is the  Sephora Favorites Meet Your Match .  Now this was pretty popular among some YouTubers a while back and I really liked the products and wanted to try them and it was only $25 for 6 sample size products. Which I thought was a pretty good deal.  Packaging:  I love the packaging. I thought it stands out because of the bright colors and the interesting print on the cardboard. I also love the concept of matching you lip gloss to your nail polish. I thought it was a really fun idea for summer.  Match 1: This is the first lip product that I want to tell you all about an...

Spring Trends 2014!

Hi Everyone! Spring is finally here! I am so excited for spring because I am tired of the cold. But where I live it is still freezing.....oh spring, where are you? Anyways, I wanted to show you all my favorite Spring Trends for 2014! Even though summer is my favorite season, spring trends this years are really fun. My first favorite trend is blood orange lips! Now when I first saw this trend I got really confused because the blood orange color seems more like a summer trend. But this has been all over makeup magazines and this trend was also popular on the runway during Fashion Week. What I really like about this trend is that your whole make up look can be soft and dewy and the POW! Blood orange lips! The lips seem to make any makeup look put together. Plus it makes you stand out and then you will be a trendsetter. The next trend that I have been loving is pastels!  Pastels is always a trend during the spring time but pastels are just amazing! But this year it seems...
