My "Dark Knight Rises" Movie Review:

   I've recently gone to see the new Batman "The Dark Knight Rises." Read my review to see what I thought of it. Keep in mind I am not a professional movie reviewer so I am not at all intense when it comes to the more detailed parts. I've written this review as a fellow fan of superhero movies.



   WARNING: MAY CONTAIN SPOILER ALERTS!


   I went to see this movie with my dad and siblings and I wanted to originally see "The Amazing Spider-Man" but we decided to see "The Dark Knight Rises" instead. I am so happy that we did! This movie was amazing! So amazing that I've now gone twice and plan on going to see it again!

   Two things I will say is...this movie is not for children and it is long. There was a young couple with their young son (maybe 3 or 4 years old) and he would get excited when Batman was onscreen but those were the only times he cared. There's also some intense action, killing scenes, and some scary characters.

   Plus, this movie is 3 hours and I could barely sit through a 3 hour movie, think of a 3 year old sitting through a 3 hour movie.

   I have seen all of the other Batman movies and this is my favorite so far. I love that they finally introduced Robin! I've been waiting for him to make an appearance. Very glad that Joseph Gordon-Levitt plays him too! Catwoman was potrayed very well by Anne Hathaway, as was Bane by Tom Hardy.

   Excellent casting, plot, and ending! Five stars from me!


Xoxo, Sarah.

P.S. I have now nailed down Bane's voice! Ha ha, it was not easy! I have also tried Batman's but haven't gotten anywhere with that one...lol.

I Would Like To Thank:

   I would like to thank all of the wonderful people that read my blog! I haven't been able to sleep tonight and decided to check my blog to see if there was anything new, and one this was new and very exciting! The last time I was here on my blog, it was to blog and reflect on those injured/killed in the Aurora theatre shooting. At that point I was at 996 views, where now I have 1,011 views!

    This is a little bittersweet as I wish the blog that threw me over the 1,000 mark would have been a blog on fashion or makeup, or anything else really. As I appreciate the views that my blog has received my heart still aches for the people of Aurora. Even for the people that only live there and may not know any of the people affected personally. Their community has been ravished by a cruel and disgusting crime.

   Please join me in prayer for all affected and for the community. For the first responders that had to witness such horror in the theatre. For the people who are raising money for the victims and their families. For people like me that have no relations to anyone injured but are still aching from this tragedy.

   This tragedy represents something in America that we don't want to accept is here. Evil. Criminals. Terrorists.

    We hear about these kind of things happening in other countries and it's almost like we almost expect it, which is a very sad reality. This shooting however, happened on American soil. The people killed were Americans. American children. American soldiers.

   A lot of people are talking about how afraid they are now to go see a movie or do the simplest of tasks. Please do not be afraid. There are people like this in our world and unfortunately whether you hide in your house or not, they are still going to be here. I personally have a relationship with Jesus Christ and refuse to live my life in a state of fear.

May God Bless each and every soul hurting and aching tonight.

Aurora, Colorado. July 20, 2012.

   Today I would like to take this blog and dedicate it to those injured/killed and affected by the massacre that happened early this morning in Aurora, Colorado. My heart aches for the family and friends that lost their loved ones. Mothers, fathers, daughters, sons, sisters, brothers, and friends were lost in a horrible tragedy that will remain in our minds for as long as we all shall live. I cannot wrap my head around how someone can be so evil to kill innocent lives, including young children's lives.

   People sitting in that theatre only wanted to see the latest "Batman" movie. They were sitting with their friends and/or family not knowing what was next. We would never imagine that someone so senseless would walk into a full theatre openin fire killing a dozen people and injuring 50+ more. Not only is my heart with the family and the friends of the victims but also with those that survived and have to live with what they saw, but also with law enforcement. I know that I personally would not be able to be apart of this case, so I can only imagine how police officers with children are being affected by this case.

   Last night at 2:00 in the morning I sat on my couch choking back tears as I watched witnesses cry about what they saw in that movie theatre and all I wanted in that moment was the suspect to be found and killed. I'll be the first person to admit that when I see these kind of things on the news, I have nothing but a burning rage to have justice be served. I hope that justice is served and that the people involved are able to find peace.

They are not alone as the rest of the country mourns along with them. Make sure to hug your loved ones a little tighter today as we pray for those that were killed and those that will struggle with this tragedy for the rest of their lives. May God Bless all of you and your families!


Xoxo, Sarah.

This Week:

   This week has totally been hectic so unfortunately I have not been able to post on here. I will probably be able to get back to it in a day or few. I have been helping my dad with computer issues, planning my party, running errands, and dogsitting while friends are out of town so I have barely had time to even eat.

   I hope you all have had a good week and enjoy your weekend! Let's all find a minute to just think of how grateful we are for the wonderful people in our lives.


Xoxo, Sarah.

Sizzling Summer:

Sizzling Summer: by sarahisofficial

   So far this summer has been hot! I've opted to spend the heat looking fabulous! Besides on the days when I cheat and stay in my air conditioned house in my pajamas, ha ha! But on days when I really want to I put on a pretty dress, sandals, my favorite purse, earrings, and grab a Passion Tea Lemonade from Starbucks.

   How do you spend your hot summer days?

Xoxo, Sarah.

My Katy Perry: Part Of Me Review:

   Hello friends! On July 5th I went to see the Katy Perry: Part Of Me movie and I totally loved it! It was my first 3D movie experience and boy was it a great experience! Here is my review on the movie:



   Short background on me: 18 years old. Senior in high school. Went to see with one of my friends.

   I went into this movie not expecting a lot. I am a Katy Perry fan but I've seen numerous concert movies (such as Bieber's and Glee's) and always found them to be a bit boring but I figured I would give it a try. I was actually blown away at how much that I liked this one.

   Katy seems like a genuinely good-hearted person and puts 100% into everything that she does. They showed a little of her background but not a lot. It mostly followed her year-long concert and some behind-the-scenes footage but the behind-the-scenes footage showed who she really is not only as an enertainer, but also as a human being.

   There were times where I laughed and there were times when I cried. I believe that Katy showed every part of herself in this movie. She shared her family, her humor, her quirkiness, and even her sadness with her fans honestly here.

   I would recommend this movie to a person that is a fan of Katy Perry, a person that loves music, or a person that is looking for a movie for their tweens/teens. There were some younger kids (maybe 8 or 9ish) in the audience that also seemed to enjoy it as well but they seemed tired after the length of it.

   I would not recommend this movie to a person that wants to see a short movie as this movie was a little longer than most. I also wouldn't recommend to a person that isn't into concert performances as the movie has many of them!

   This movie get a 4 star rating from me. The only thing that I didn't like was the length but it was overall a great movie!


Xoxo, Sarah.

Animalistic Trends:

   Wherever you walk you see animals and animal prints. I love animal prints! Zebra, cheetah, leopard, and a lot of others! I however do not condone wearing actual animal fur or skin! I am 100& against it! I would rather go naked than wear fur. But, I do like the prints even if they're fake.

So, here are my favorite animalistic (which is probably not a word) trends:

   Okay, first of all, how cute is that purse!? I would love to have it hanging in my closet! I also love the leopard booties! Adorable! I have zebra bedding so of course I'm bias. The SF Panda hats are a huge trend! Especially here in California! And elephant decorations pretty much go with anything!

   So, what are your favorite animalistic trends? Are your faves on purses, booties, or home decorations? Would you use your favorite animal print as bedding? Why or why not?

   Hope you all have a great weekend full of love and laughter!



Xoxo, Sarah.

Themed Birthday Parties:

   So, in exactly a month from now on August 6th, it will be my 18th birthday. I'm excited but to be honest a little nervous. I will be a legal adult. Scary to think about even for me. Today I was kicking around birthday ideas and I think I have an idea of what I want to do but I'm still not 100% positive. While I was kicking around ideas I thought of all the cool themes that can be used! Here are the five that I fell in love with:

This is the beach theme! Especially since it's summer, I believe the beach theme is totally appropriate! With it's blue colors and seashells I'm in love with this theme! To make the party even better hold a beach themed party somewhere with a pool so you and your friends can cool off while enjoying the warm weather! Sadly, I don't have a pool or know anyone that does.

Next, a carnival theme! How fun does this look!? Even for teenagers this party would be a blast! Hot dogs for lunch and cotton candy for dessert? Yes please! Also include a lot of fun games that are carnival themed. Such as a balloon dart game or bobbing for apples! Make sure to have small prizes to make the games extra fun!

Thirdly, this is theme cupcake! Yes, I said cupcake! Cupcakes are such a big trend now that people are having cupcake themed parties! I myself am not a big cupcake person but I do find the theme very cute! I especially love the sweet colors that are involved in the parties! Plus, at this themed party can you imagine all of the different flavors that you could try? Yum!

Now it's time for Old Hollywood. This theme is one of the oldest yet best themes of them all! Get some gold and glitter accents and dress your party up! Have your friends wear their best clothing! (Dresses for girls, suits for boys) Then make sure that you have a red carpet with a line fo paparazzi! The paparazzi can be parents, siblings, or maybe friends can switch out every once and awhile! Oh and don't forget fancy gift bags for all of your famous friends!

And last, but not least...a Paris themed party! I am in love! If you know me well, you know that I love all things Paris! From the pink and the black colors (which I love!) to the Eiffel Tower being on everything such as the invitations, hats, and even the cake! This is destined to be one of my birthday themes, whether it be this year or a later year, I will one day have this!

Hope you all enjoyed this blog and enjoyed your 4th of July! Our next holiday is well...my 18th birthday! Just kidding! Ha! Hope you all enjoy your weekend!

Xoxo, Sarah.
