This review is from: Fifty Shades of Grey (Amazon Instant Video)
It was watching the trailer for Fifty Shades of Grey while with my husband to see Guardians of The Galaxy that prompted my interest in seeing the Fifty Shades of Grey Film. Basically, the character of Christian Grey (Jamie Dornan) draws the interest of Anastasia Steele (Dakota Johnson) during an interview for an article. The pros; There is much steamy and smoldering passion between Steele and Grey because they feel a strong mutual and romantic attraction to each other. Additionally, the torrid erotic scenes between them are believable and bring the story characters to life. Viewers get a sense of how being in a relationship (whether married or not) can change a person because both Steele and Grey experience personal transformations in how they approach life (the longer they get to know each other). The cons; There is an abundance of Steele and Grey getting together in private to consummate their passion, yet there is not enough of them getting out enough to enjoy life more(such as camping in the outdoors, linking up for a spiritual community, volunteer pursuits, education pursuits, going to low cost and/or other types of events such as dances, parties, community/ political speaking meetings etc.). However, in the author's defense, I still have yet to purchase the other books so maybe there is Steele getting out more and enjoying life more frequently independent of Grey. Aside from that caveat, the Fifty Shades of Grey film is a well-timed Valentine's Day release due to the smoldering passion between the Steele and Grey characters.

Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Fifty Shades Of Grey (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) (Audio CD)
After hearing the compelling song of Love Me Like You Do by Ellie Goulding on youtube, I became interested in purchasing The Fifty Shades of Grey soundtrack (which I did on January 30, 2015). There are multiple appealing songs on this Fifty Shades of Grey soundtrack that combine the music sensibilities of Electronica, Jazz, Chillout, pop etc. Please know that there are other songs on this cd that I do enjoy listening to (such as the renditions of Love Me Like You Do by Ellie Goulding, Beyonce’s Haunted, and Salted Wound by Sia). However, I have to admit that my current favorites from this Fifty Shades of Grey movie soundtrack would be “I Put A Spell On You” by Annie Lennox and “One Last Night” by Vaults. This Fifty Shades of Grey movie soundtrack is perfect for those who have an eclectic taste in music that has subtle love affair themes.

Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Now That's What I Call Movies (Audio CD)
Now That’s What I Call Movies cd is another pre-order selection that I bought on January 30, 2015. I ordered this cd due to some of my passions involving music and movies. Additionally, I pre-ordered Now That’s What I Call Movies because I have purchased and still continue to enjoy Now music compilations (various editions from both the United States and United Kingdom). There is an eclectic mix of music on this edition of Now That’s What I Call movies (artists featuring Bruno Mars For Twilight, Bruce Springsteen For Streets of Philadelphia, Celine Dion for Titanic, Phil Collins For Against All Odds, rendition of Almost Paradise by Mike Reno feat. Ann Wilson for Footloose, artist Seal for Batman Forever, Elton John, Anna Kendrick etc.). My husband’s current favorite song is Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen while my current favorites from Now That’s What I Call Movies are Eye Of The Tiger by Survivor (for the Rocky III movie), Happy by Pharrell Williams (for the Despicable Me 2 film), and Danger Zone by Kenny Loggins (for the Top Gun movie). From the wide diversity and music styles (soft rock, rock, pop, dance, country etc) of the artists/groups/musicians mentioned, one can infer that Now That’s What I Call Movies is a collection that is suitable for men and women who have a variety of musical preferences/tastes.

This review is from: Nabisco, Oreo, Limited Edition, Red Velvet Sandwich Cookies with Cream Cheese Flavored Creme, 10.7oz Bag (Pack of 3) (Misc.)
I spotted this 10.7 ounce package of red velvet Oreos (limited edition)from my job and decided to eventually get these cookies due to both my curiosity and because of my husband’s enjoyment of the Oreo cookies brand. These red velvet Oreo cookies have a smooth filling reminiscent of cream cheese and a cookie taste that blends red velvet cookies with the classic taste of oreos.

This review is from: Nutella Hazelnut Spread, 13 Oz (Grocery)
Reluctantly, I admit to impulsively purchasing this 13 ounce jar of Nutella at my job on the morning of Sunday February 8, 2015. I saw an on the go version of Nutella with graham sticks and got the idea of trying the jar of Nutella as a way to satisfy my chocolate craving. Anyhow, I tried this Nutella spread at home with peanut butter and bread, and the combination of the peanut butter and bread brought out the rich chocolate hazelnut taste of Nutella even more. I confess that I am also familiar with the taste of Nutella because I have ordered and enjoyed the Nutella and Bananas Crepes at iHop restaurants in this area. However, I remember first eating Nutella and banana Crepes at an IHop restaurant in Norfolk Virginia.

Phil Hartman's Daughter Attends 'Saturday Night Live' 40th Anniversary in Her Father's HonorThe Bright Side of Negative Thinking

I intend to still keep a positive attitude and glass half full mentality regardless of external circumstances. However, this is a helpful article to me when I ponder on the phrase :Who Knew That Negative Thinking Can Be Constructive" especially since I've become adept at formulating strong backup action plans when switching gears was necessary

I'm unsure if one can call this gallery "weird friendships". However, I still felt psychically encouraged to share the link both because I'm aware of the positive benefits of friendship and this gallery proves that true and healthy friendships can emerge both from shared interests and/or from men and women who may have had different upbringings from each other.

One of many yummy ideas,perfect with bananas, nutella, whip cream, and/or strawberries.
It is good to see a post where the writer knows that the Fifty Shades of Grey movie involved characters (Anastasia Steele and Christian Grey) as two consenting adults.
Regardless of how I may be judged for enjoying such a film,I understand why this movie generated controversy. However, Fifty Shades of Grey was actually a film that centered around two adults (Anastasia Steele played by Dakota Johnson and Christian Grey played by Jamie Dornan) in a consensual agreement. As other writers and websites noted, this movie helped open up important discussion on making more mainstream torrid movies involving females as the main characters.

I'm glad and thankful that my intuition contributed to me unexpectedly coming across this article. However, I now realize that I must allow myself more time to go within (offline) and quietly (yet carefully) gather more links (to put on my online blogs)towards changing my life for the better. I only say this because I came across an online link earlier advocating negative thinking while this article emphasized positive thinking. It is my glass half full mentality (in addition to my logical and spiritual awareness of knowing I'm naturally blessed with good luck) that helped me discover this link. However, finding two insightful links in one day on the opposite sides of the thinking spectrum (positive versus negative) helps remind me that I must set a higher priority to access my intuition/higher self as well as practical sources of information for joyfully/successfully changing my life.
