February's Reading List Summarized

Hey Everyone!

So I finally finished my February Reading List, go me! With everything else going on I managed to finish them and on time, go me! I have a lot of things coming to an end on February 28th, my Going Going Gone Jamberry Party (still have time, don't be a fool, and don't forget to buy some Jamberry Nail Tools), I'm moving, new job, new reading list, new class, and so much more. February was a very busy month, but looking forward to the month of March, two new movies, new life, new reading list, new Jamberry Catalog and party, so so many new things.

Ok, so February's reading list summarized:

Divergent

"One choice can transform you. Beatrice Prior's society is divided into five factions—Candor (the honest), Abnegation (the selfless), Dauntless (the brave), Amity (the peaceful), and Erudite (the intelligent). Beatrice must choose between staying with her Abnegation family and transferring factions. Her choice will shock her community and herself. But the newly christened Tris also has a secret, one she's determined to keep hidden, because in this world, what makes you different makes you dangerous."

One girl, one faction, and one choice. This is really all this book is about. *movie is a little more engaging, but book is still very good* Tris' life was boring until she made the decision to leave her life behind and start anew. Only she didn't think it was going to be hard to find her place within the new faction. After having a boy crush on one of the instructor, Four, she comes to the realization that she is truly different and needs to stay hidden among her new family. Can she do it? You'll have to read the book (or watch the movie) to find out. 

The book, as always, gives you way more details than the movie, but I feel that the book drags on. I still like the book and want to continue reading the rest of the series. And I will! 
Gone: Part Three

"Lilly Randall had overcome a past filled with heartache and loss. She'd moved to Manhattan and was building a new and exciting life for herself. She was falling hard and fast for Clive Parker and now that she had a dream job, everything was exactly as it should be. When her past showed up to taunt her, the reality she thought she knew was suddenly stripped away. It's hard for Lilly to know who to trust when the one and only person who promised to protect her, can't give her the simple answers she needs. Believing in Clive may be impossible and when the choice comes down to investing in him or herself, Lilly makes the only choice she can."

This is the final installment, and honestly, these books went by so fast. I'm a fast reader, if it is something that peaks my interests and let's be honest, just look at the cover, it's peaked! *bad pun, I know, I'm shameful!* Back to the book... Lilly is a software designer mainly for mobile applications, and after an embarrassing photo that magically showed up in her press lease of a new app, she goes on a one woman mission to find out who would do this to her. With the unintentional help from her billionaire boyfriend, Clive, she is able to find the person, make them correct it, and move on to her happy ever after.

It was a very short book but worth the price because I had to finish the series.
Seven Sons

"My father was most certainly NOT an innocent man. As the leader of the Gypsy Brothers MC, he was guilty of many things. But he died for a crime that he didn’t commit, framed by an enemy within who then stole his club and everything he had ever worked to protect. Including my innocence. When Dornan Ross framed my father, he set into motion a series of events that could never be undone. My father was murdered by Dornan Ross and his sons when I was fifteen years old. Before my father died, Dornan and his sons stole my innocence, branded my skin and in doing so, ensured that their lives would be prematurely cut short. That they would suffer. I’ve just turned twenty-one, and I’m out for blood. I'm out for revenge. But I didn't expect to fall for Jase, the youngest brother in the club. I didn't expect that he would turn my world upside down, yank my heart out of my chest and ride away into the sunset with it. Now, I'm faced with an impossible choice - Jase, or avenging my fathers death? "

Right off the bat you know there is revenge and death involved in this book, not only from the description but the tiny prologue. Juliette was a simple girl that was born into the wrong type of family, a family that worked for a very powerful gang. After the death of her father and some unsavory events that happened to her, Juliette is making a change (whether it may be good or bad is depending on your judgement) and going after the people who are responsible for her pain and suffering. What she didn't count on is her feelings for the one person who was there that night and tried to spot it from happening. This is a tale of one girl making a difference in her own life but is also righting a wrong in the most unconventional way imaginable. 

Just goes to show that revenge is a powerful emotion. And some won't stop until they achieve their goal. 




All of these books are very good, and I recommend them to all of you. If you have any recommendations, please comment below. I have my March Reading List already planned, but I'm looking for new books to continue! 

Oodles, Everyone!

Kingsman- The Secret Service: The Movie

 First of all, I had no expectations other than being good going into this movie and honestly, it was the best feeling, because I was NOT disappointed! This movie was worth it.

Colin Firth, plays a secret agent in a completely private, independent secret service which all have codes names of the King Arthur and the Knights of the round table. Many of you hopefully have seen the trailer, if not please do! 

There is action, sadness, a couple of WTF moments, humor, and much more, you're all over the place with reactions and emotions. I would definitely go see this again!

After a couple agent men die, a replacement is needed. Enter kid from the wrong side of London. Needed to save the world, and with the use of some kick ass gadgets, the world might live to see another day.

Things I liked:

1. Kept on my toes (very engaging) 
2. Very funny but not overly funny
3. Lots of action (gore... be prepared)
4. Implied romance 
5. Surprising Ending

Things I disliked:

1. Samuel L Jackson's character (couldn't take him serious... you'll see when you watch the movie)
2. The didn't explain what happened to the henchman's (henchwoman's) legs

I definitely didn't have things that I didn't like. The pros outweighed the cons!

Rating- 4.5 stars and will be purchasing this movie!

Fifty Shades of Grey: The Movie

Finally! Its really all I can say at this point!

First of all, I absolutely loved the movie. Want to go see it again and most certainly going to purchase the dvd, which is currently sitting on my wish list at amazon.com. 

Ok Everyone the moment we've all been waiting for! Spoiler Alert....

As we all have read I've been super excited for this movie. I had some scenes that I wanted to come to the big screen and I mostly got what I asked for. They did an amazing job bringing what is probably my favorite book to life and I just want to say thank you first of all!

Ok, down to the nitty gritty... It starts off slow, but so does the book, couple things in the beginning that I think they could have taken out since it isn't how the book started but what do I know, right! Pretty much the movie stayed to the book, some of the dialogue was off, like the hardware store scene where Ana tells Christian he is the complete serial killer with what he was buying, but it added to making the movie stand alone.

It pretty much progressed as the book did, which I was extremely happy about and the sex scenes were classy but still managed to give us the "kinkery fuckery" that we were all waiting for. They did an awesome job bringing the RED ROOM OF PAIN to the big screen. They did combined a couple of the sex scenes into one large scene and let me tell you, Christian walking out in the ripped jeans hanging off his hips was everything the book said it would be! Jamie Dornan, in my opinion was the right choice for Christian! Dakota wasn't bad either. I think my favorite line for the whole movie was when Christian and Ana were sitting down at the table, as Ana was signing the Non-Disclosure Agreement, and Ana asks if Christian is going to make love to her now, and Christian just replies "I don't make love Anastasia I fuck...hard and there is something else I need to show you first." I think I about died! There were some other moments like that but nothing close to that. This movie was geared more towards Christian and Ana than really including the rest of the characters from the book, which I liked but I wished we had a little more for the supporting roles.

Things I like:

1. Kinkery Fuckery was right on target from book
2. Movie progressed similar to the book
3. Chemistry between the actors was there, I don't understand how people couldn't see that.
4. Soundtrack was kick ass
5. Some of my scenes where there

Things I didn't like"

1. Some of my scenes weren't there (silver balls and dinner scene)
2. Not enough lip biting, Ana did a lot of biting of her lip
3. Key lines from the book I wish were there
4. Nothing was done to Christian it seems very one sided, but he still got his playroom time so
5. Couple of the scenes that were included in the movie, but not in the book, could have been taking out (the opening scene is Christian getting ready for a run, we didn't need all that.)

Overall I am EXTREMELY HAPPY with this movie and fully support the next two! Bring it on Baby!

Here are the featured wraps for this movie. Still available for purchase! 1 for $25, 2+ for $20. Super Excited! Email me @ kaystips2toes@gmail.com for details or to order!

Hey Everyone!

Great News, We've reached 300+ pageviewers! That's is completely higher than I ever expected! And I honestly want to thank everyone who has took the time to read what I've written for the last week. I just can't believe that we got over 300 pageviewers in a week! This is so exciting. I never expected this to take off. I didn't realize that my goal was to get to 300 for the blog, but as I watched the number climb up and up, something happened and I actually began to feel some passion again. Not only in my Jamberry, but in the rest of my life, it only takes one positive event to shine the light back into your life. I just want to thank you all for that!

This is not the only great news I have, I managed to get over $300 in sales so far and the month is only half over! This is also exciting!

And to continue that I've made a new logo for my Google Account and is in the process of make wraps out of the new logo. The new logo can be seen, but not very well, in the box next to my name, but it also available below. I'm going to start working on the wrap design here shortly.
