REVIEW OF THE MOVIE ASHES OF EDEN

 Thanks to Fishflix.com, I got the opportunity to view and review the movie Ashes of Eden. Written and directed by Shane Hagedorm.

About the movie-

Ashes of Eden tells the story of 18 year-old Red. Red has made some bad choices, and he knows he’s made a lot of mistakes in his short life. Although he has already done his time, it seems he will never be done paying the consequences for his actions. He finds that having a bad reputation along with an inexplicable ability to always be in the wrong place at the wrong time is a bad mix and he can never seem to escape the broken world he finds himself in.

Although he is trying to do the right thing, he ends up back in the drug world selling stolen drugs to help his police officer mother make ends meet every month. When lives are lost and relationships are destroyed, Red begins to question his faith. Finding himself at the center of the struggle and unable to escape his dark path, can Red ever find redemption from his past?  

My Thoughts:


I watched the movie yesterday and I was not impressed with the movie. I know that this is an independent film but I found the plot slow moving and I was tempted to turn it off numerous times. The scenes did not flow and the actors did not look their age(they looked older than seniors in high school). 
The acting was very flat and some of the actor's emotions did not fit the scene. Especially when they were pointing guns at each other and one lit up a cigarette and did not look scared at all. Not realistic. There was a lot of swear words that were blocked in the movie but you knew what they said. The movie was unrated and I feel that it should be rated PG-13 due to the swearing and the content. There were some violent scenes and the ending was unexpected. 

Disclosure:

I  received a complimentary copy of this movie from Fish Flix for for my honest review.

REVIEW OF PUREX PLUS CLOROX 2 LAUNDRY DETERGENT.

 I would like to introduce you to a new product called Purex plus Clorox 2 laundry detergent. Thanks to Purex, I had the opportunity to try the product. I am a Registered Nurse and sometimes I get blood and pen marks on my uniform that are difficult to get out. I have tried peroxide and other detergents with no luck but the Purex removed the blood stain with ease after pre treating with some of the detergent and waiting a couple of minutes before washing the item. 
I do not like to uses bleach because it is not good for the environment but it can make my polyester uniforms yellow and look dingy. The stain fighting detergent is safe for colors, works with 100 stains and can be used in any type of machine. It comes in original fresh and sunny linen fragrances.

"The Purex^® brand provided me with a sample of Purex® plus Clorox 2^® detergent in exchange for a product review. However all the opinions expressed here are my own"

REVIEW OF RENUZIT SENSITIVE SCENTS

 Have you ever walked into a room and was overpowered by a strong fragrance? Renuzit has developed three different scents that will fill your home with pleasant and welcoming aromas that you will enjoy. 

Even my cat loves the scents.

 You will enjoy delicate floral essences with the crisp freshness of cucumber that will freshen up a room.

 

You will savor the combination of sweet pears and lavender that will be perfect for people with sensitivity issues.

 

This airy and light scent will make you feel that you are at a Caribbean beach  basking in the sun.

You can experience all of the fragrances in many different ways:

Universal Scented Oils-  Can be used in any warmer including Glade and Air Wick.

Adjustable Scent Cones- Perfect for small spaces and lasts for 4 weeks. 

Trigger Deodorizing Spray- Perfect for large areas and fabrics.

I enjoyed all of the Renuzit Sensitive Scents, but my favorite is Pure Ocean Breeze. I cannot wait for summer so I can head to the beach and enjoy the ocean breeze but I can experience it right now in my home. The fragrance was not over powering and annoying like other products. All of the other scents were just as pleasing and will not overpower sensitive noses.

  

The Renuzit Brand provided me with samples of Renuzit Sensitive Scents in exchange for a product review. However, all the opinions expressed here are my own

READ AN EXCERPT

Michael disappeared into the haze, his face graying out and blending with watery droplets. Suddenly a baby cried. A soft noise so quiet it hardly made an impression. 

She stiffened. Again, a mewling echoed in the distance. She leaned over the side of the tub to get a better view. Warm mist coalesced into a lacy fog. On the other side of the bathroom a cradle shimmered. The flowered linoleum floor supported a white wicker cradle with a pinkish veil drawn across the opening. Four wooden legs held up the cradle with white paint flecking off ancient legs.

Stunned, she pulled herself to her feet, got out of the tub, and walked toward the cradle. She touched the wood, finding it soft with mold, then drew the veil from the cradle as the material rotted away in her hands. There, lying on a bed of stained red satin, was the decaying remains of an infant, its mouth contorted in agony. Bits of skull showed in-between wizened skin, its eyes gone, forever sightless. Her stomach contracted and her breath hitched. From a depth she hadn’t known existed within her, she screamed.

Kellyn’s eyes flew open, her heart thumping in fear. One hand held Scott’s fingers in a death grip while the other curled defensively around the child in her womb. She drew in a deep breath while tears sprang from her eyes. Her heart ratcheted up a beat, and the hand that protected her belly flew to her chest.

Jesus. I can’t breathe!
