The 411:

I have never heard of Infinity Train before this review but I cannot wait to catch up with Season 1 and all upcoming seasons. 

As a huge fan of Steven Universe, Adventure Time and Teen Titans Go I loved this fun, magical ride. 

Great storytelling for young minds. Sometimes the story is heavy and too relatable and we can forget that this is a show for kids but what I love about that is although it may be above those under a certain age. It is great for the early tweens when they are growing out of animation but are too young for many things on TV. I love characters that are touch on real life adolescent problems like identity, broken homes, peer pressure, uncertainty and more. 

While my teen daughter thought the voice of metallic Tulip was annoying, I wasn't bothered by it at all and can't wait to see more. I seriously need to see the first Season! Such an interesting show!

100 Candle Game Starring Amy Smart - A Review

 

North American Distributor Devilworks 100 Candle Game is a chilling new supernatural movie. 

100 Candles centers around a game that traps a group of friends, as they tell one another horror tales in front of a magical mirror, by candlelight. One story for every candle, they cannot leave the game until all candles are out; otherwise they will fall victim to a witch’s curse.

Starring Amy Smart, George Blagden, Sibyl Gregory and Dee Bradley Baker.

Producers include Nicolas Onetti and Michael Kraetzer.

The 411:

For some reason a group of adult friends decide to get together and tell each other horror stories then leave the room to stand in front of a mirror and blow one of the candles out.  They hope to not see something behind them. 

I did love the storytelling scenes. Each story was a stand alone with some more scary then the others. Some were too long and others too short but all have a solid budget. As a fan of horror none of them were scary. There were no jump scares but still good! There was one story that was told in complete Spanish without any subtitles. A woman in a casket it seems with a cellphone talking to someone but I have no idea how she got there, what she was saying or if she would ever get out. It might have been the most interesting but I have no idea. 

My least favorite part was in between stories. I didn't care about the friends! There was no real connection. I don't know why they were together. There should have been some development on them to tie it all together. They are basically just a fill between each short story. 

How to Live a More Relaxed Lifestyle

It’s easy to get bogged down with the everyday stresses of life,which can become a huge burden on your shoulders. Once stress sets in, it can become extremely difficult to get rid of it and get yourself on the path to a much more tranquil lifestyle. When people feel stressed, it can cause tension in both the body and mind, which can have a knock-on effect on your health and wellbeing. Getting into a relaxed state is never easy and may take some practice until you can train yourself to let go of stress. Therefore, here are some tips that may come in useful: 

Take a break

Whenever you’re having a particularly stressful period, ensure you take a break to unwind. Whenever you feel yourself getting stressed or panicked, you must know when to step away and give yourself the time and space to recover. There are many ways you can quickly get into a calmer mindset, but the key is finding out what works best for you. Some ideas include:

• Reading a book

• Taking a bath

• Watching a film

Buy a hot tub

Studies have shown that spending time in a hot tub is beneficial for getting into a relaxed state as it helps promotes controlled breathing and reduce blood pressure. Both of these aspects combined release dopamine levels in the brain, which help get you into a calmer state both mentally and physically. As a result, you’ll feel much happier – even for just a short time, as opposed to stressed and anxious. If you’re considering revamping your garden for the summer, you can browse the Hot Tubs Derby hasat their showroom to find a cost-effective and quality hot tub to get you into relaxation mode.

Get a massage

Getting a massage is perfect for releasing tension and helping free stress from the body. One study carried out on Japanese students discovered that a deep full body massage reduced stiff muscles and reduced the stress hormone ‘cortisol in the blood,which, in turn, promoted relaxation mentally and physically. By having weekly massage sessions, you may discover you’ll feel less stressed in your day-to-day life.

Get physical

Research has proven that staying active could keep your anxiety levels low and help you live a much calmer lifestyle. Physical activity interrupts the stress response in the brain and breaks down the cycle of anxiety, as well as releasing feel-good endorphins that give you a positive feeling and outlook. There are several exercises you could incorporate into your daily routine:

• Walking

• Swimming

• Cycling

• Yoga

• HIIT workouts

Spend time with a dog

Research has shown that spending time with a four-legged friend can be beneficial for your mental health and even keeping your stress levels low. This is the reason why many businesses are now getting office dogs in order to maintain a relaxed environment and boost productivity amongst employees. When stroking a dog, it has been shown to reduce cortisol while releasing the hormone, oxytocin which promotes contentment and joy.

The 411:

This movie started out with promise I mean come on two words from two movies that were cinematic cold  in my eyes. Amityville Horror and Poltergeist are two of my favorites. However, this had nothing to do with either movie and while that was a disappointment that doesn’t mean this movie wasn’t entertaining. In fact, I haven’t laughed so hard at an expected scary scene in a long time.

Jim someone with expressive eyes and I can say this because they focused on his eyes so much I could recognize them in a lineup even if I never see this dude again, takes a job as a house sitter for a woman who says things are happening in her home and her family doesn’t believe her. Jim is about to find out how right the woman is with nightmares and visions of a creepy girl. 

Besides Jim we meet his friends who honestly add nothing to the plot. They were completely unnecessary with creepy dialogue and dragged the movie a bit however there is one scene where Jim and Alyson (man I hated this girl. She was a bad friend) are in bed and he wakes. Alyson...oh never mind...it was really the best part in the movie. I laughed HARD. Let’s just leave that right there. It’s the reason to see the movie to me. Hysterical.

Anyway, all in all this is a good one time movie if this is your genre. The images although basic are creepy enough and come on...entertainment comes in many forms.

The Importance of Brushing

 

Regular dental care is an important part of your overall health and daily wellbeing. If you’ve ever had issues with your teeth you certainly know how much of a hindrance these problems can cause for even normal daily actives such as eating or drinking. Regular checkups at Valley Wide help keep your mouth in excellent health.

Four Reasons Why You Should Brush Your Teeth Regularly

In-between dental appointments there are many ways to help keep your mouth and teeth healthy. One of the most important of these is brushing your teeth regularly.

1. Keeps Your Breath Fresh: bacteria collects in your mouth without regular brushing which can lead to bad breath. Brushing removes these bacteria and keeps your breath fresh and your mouth clean. These bacteria can also lead to ulcers in addition to impacting your breath.
2. Helps Prevent Teeth Staining: most modern toothpastes contain cleaning agents which help prevent stains and discoloration to your teeth. Tooth staining can be caused by many things including several materials found in food, beverages, and consumer products. 
3. Protect Your Mouth From Plaque Build Up: without regular brushing plaque builds up in your mouth along with your teeth and gumline. This can lead to sensitive gums, bleeding when you brush, and over a long enough period of time gingivitis and gum disease. 
4. Prevent Expensive Dental Concerns: preventative care can prevent several expensive health issues and this is also true for your teeth. Ignoring regular brushing and tooth care can lead to issues such as cavities which are not only very painful but require extensive time and professional care to properly fix. 

How Often Should You Brush?

In general, the American Dental Association advises you should brush your teeth twice a day. Additional care such as flossing and mouth wash help keep your teeth, gums, and mouth in good condition. Also, be sure to use toothpaste that has the ADA seal of approval. 

Final Thoughts

Your health is of utmost importance and staying current on any of your medical needs and regular checkups can greatly improve your quality of life. Preventative care is also valuable as it helps prevent addressable health concerns from becoming more severe. When going over your healthcare needs your teeth are an easy thing to overlook unless you have a history of dental problems or having a pressing concern such as a cavity. However, by being proactive with your dental care you improve your health and prevent future ailments. If you need dental care visit https://vwdentalhuntsville.com/ to learn more.

The 411:

This was fun! I haven’t been so entertained in a long time.  It loved the campiness of it. So stupid but so good.  The jokes aren’t always hysterical but the characters are just lighthearted enough to not get on my nerves.  Bloody good time and most of the movie takes place on a blank dry earth landscape.
