Sophie Reads: Murder On the Orient Express by Agatha Christie

Hi everyone!
Wow it has been a while. I honestly would like to apologize for not having a blog post in quite sometime but trust me, I will explain it one day. I have missed blogging so much and what is the best way to get back into blogging than by doing a book review. Reading has and will always be an extreme passion and love of mine. And I would love to recommend different books to you all. To get back to reviewing for you all, I chose to read Murder on the Orient Express by Agatha Christie. I have always been a huge fan of Agatha Christie after I read And Then There Were None in high school. The funny story is, I never heard of this book until I saw the trailer. When I said to myself, I have to see it, it reminds me so much of an Agatha Christie book. And I found out she wrote it. Lets get on to the review.

Summary:

In the middle of the night, a passenger on the Orient Express is killed. Samuel Edward Rachett is murdered and no one knows who killed him. The door was locked from the inside.  It is up to the greatest detective in the world, Hercule Poirit to investigate the crime. The issue is, the train is stuck in a snowstorm. No way to escape or to communicate with the outside world. Poirit's goal is to find the killer, before the killer murders again.

Review:
When I first started reading this book, I am not going to lie, it was boring. I felt that it started at a very slow pace and I just wanted Poirit to get on the train. But after I finished the book, I realized that the reason Agatha Christie starts her novels off slow is to build suspense. And let me tell you, it works. I read this book in one day. It was an extremely fast novel to read. You want to find out who the murder is. And honestly, I could not figure out who the murderer was until the last page. And trust me, you will not suspect the killer. I think the reason why I enjoy Agatha Christie books so much is because the crimes are so fascinating and the murderers are someone you would never suspect. I really enjoyed this novel. I would recommend it to anyone who likes murder mysteries, to read Agatha Christie. She is the queen of them.

That is my review for you all. I am a little nervous to see the movie, not going to lie. But it looks good. I tried when reading it to not think of the characters of the movie because I wanted to create my own ideas of what they were to look like.

I am really excited to get back into blogging. I have missed it and this also gives me an excuse to read more. Please recommend me books in the comments or just tell me how your day was.
I hope you all have a wonderful day or night wherever you are!

Carpe Diem,
Sophia

Beauty and Random Favorites for 2014!

Happy 2015 Everyone! I hope that the start of 2015 is going well for you all. I am super excited to be sharing my top 2014 products with you. At the end of the blog post, I will be sharing some random favorites as well. I hope you all enjoy! Face: I have two favorite foundations for 2014. The first one is a high end foundation and it is the  Tarte Amazonian Clay 12- Hour Full Coverage Foundation . I have the shade Medium-Tan Honey. This is my special occasion foundation. Since it is pretty expensive ( $38) I do not want to use it every day. My favorite part of this foundation is how much it looks like skin on your face but it looks like a more flawless version of my skin. But I personally do not like the cake face look and I like the more natural look and this foundation gives it to me. The second foundation is from the drugstore and it is the  Loreal True Match Super-Blendable Make up . I am in the shade W3. I heard about this foundation all over YouTube but ...

Summer Foundation Routine 2015

Hi Everyone! I have been wanting to do this blog post for a couple of months now but I really wanted to test out the product and make sure that I really stand by my opinions. Everyone in the beauty community has been talking about the  L'Oreal Infallible Pro-Matte 24HR Foundation . I have been using my ride or die foundation, the L'Oreal True Match Foundation for years. So I was a little hesitant to try out a new foundation. Once I have found something I love, I don't like to stray away from it. I went to a couple of different places to figure out the best price for the foundation. This foundation can vary from $11 to $13, depending on where you go. I got mine at CVS because I had a coupon. I got my color in 107 Fresh Biege. I want to tell you two very important things about my skin. I have a yellow undertone to my skin and I have dry skin. Especially in my T zone area. So if you have a pink undertone, I do not recommend this foundation. Most of the ...

Bye Bye Stretch Marks!

Hi everyone! I am sorry I have not posted a blog post in a couple of days! I was not feeling well but I am back and ready to blog again! Now this blog post is a little personal but I feel like almost everyone suffers with it.....and it's stretch marks! Stretch marks are when light or dark lines appear on your stomach or thighs when you have gained weight or  when the elasticity in your skin has stretched. I used to have stretch marks on the sides of my stomach and it made me very self conscience of my stomach. The reason why I got stretch marks was because I had gained a lot of weight in a short amount of time. But with these two products the stretch marks are almost gone! Now I will tell you my secret tip to lightening your stretch marks and soon they will be gone! The first product to use is the  Cocoa Butter Formula with Vitamin E Cream Unisex by Palmer's . I have used this for years before I started to get stretch marks. This is a very thick cream that rejuvena...
