Snack Compare!

Heyy! 

Today we will be comparing two different kinds of crunchy cheese snacks known as Cheesies!


                                                              Cheetos crunchy Cheesies 

VS

Hawkins crunchy Cheezies 


Lets start with Hawkins Cheezies. I had these for the first time today and these are some of my first impressions of them. 

These cheezies are larger in individual size than cheetos and they are very crunchy, almost as though they cloud be baked (I don't know if they were they just taste like it) these cheezies are also less greasy than the other brand, maybe they are baked, and the Cheezies have more of a cheese taste.
With all that being said these are also so incredibly salty! for what the serving size suggests which is roughly 3/4 cup or 50 grams. They also, in my opinion, leave a weird after taste in your mouth. 







On to Cheetos. These are the typical go to snack if someone is looking for crunchy cheesies. Cheetos are tasty and have a cheesie flavour but can tend to be greasy. These cheesies can be smaller and less crunchy than some, but are still tasty! They have less sodium as well as less carbohydrates in the Cheetos making them not good for you but better than the Hawkins Cheezies.   




Review time! 

Okay personally I enjoy Cheetos more than I did the Cheezies even though they tend to leave more of a residue on your hands I like the fact that they taste waaaay less salty! And that you are able to get different flavours of the Cheetos crunchy Cheesies. In my opinion the Cheetos are just better than the Hawkins snacks they may not have as much of a cheese taste, but they also don't have as much salt I know I've said that a lot, but its a big deal in my opinion, who wants to have a snack that leaves you bloated from the excess salt intake and with a weird left over taste in your mouth. 

Remember these are just my personal opinions, and if you think differently leave me a comment with your opinion.

Saint Anything

Heyy!

Possible spoilers. You have been warned. 

Today were going to be talking about Saint Anything by Sarah Dessen.

Saint Anything Book Cover.


This newest instalment from the world of Sarah Dessen is about a young girl, (aren't they all?) back in the town of Lakeview trying to get through her life with the fiasco her mess of brother has left behind in his trail out of town. 

Trying to get out of the giant shadow her brother (Peyton the third)  had left behind when he was hauled away. Sydney decides its time to transfer from the fancy prep school her parent had proudly founded for her to attend to the 'regular' high school in town. 

The move is complete, now enters a cast full of eccentric characters that seamlessly fit themselves into Sydney's world and vice versa. The Chatham's are a warm fun loving family that are about to radically change Sydney's world, and in my option it'll be for the better. 

'Saving' Sydney from her friend Eric Layla Chatham befriends Sydney, and soon do all of Layla's friends including but not limited to her brother Mac Chatham. Spending time with the Chatham's matriarch Sydney starts to get the warm motherly touch and advice that she never got at home from her over achieving mother.  

The new friends Sydney makes are very real while reading the book you can imagine yourself right along with them delivering pizzas, listening to blue grass, and hunting for the perfect fries. 
This is not the first Sarah Dessen book I have read but it is quickly shooting to the top of the list of my favourite books by this particular author. I love the quirky characters and the descriptive settings you can clearly picture what is going on while you read. 

Just like every Sarah Dessen novel there is young love, fights, solutions, compromises, and cameos, but having said that Saint Anything is nothing like Dessesn's other novels it attaches itself to a very real problem that is grossly increasing in todays society (Drug problems, drunk driving, over bearing parents, stress and feeling lost in a crowd in your own home) 

Review time!

Okay Saint Anything is an awesome book that touches on so many problems people face today, even if you specifically have not faced a court room for your brother I believe there is something from this book that you can relate to. 

I love that in every book other characters make cameo appearances, and that Sarah Dessen has created her own little world between the suburb of Lakeview and the beach of Colby. 

Sain Anything is an superb read (I've read it 3 times) and I would recommend it to anyone! Give it a go you never know what you may find. 

Thanks for reading! I'll be back soon!

Technical Difficulties and a Wedding!

Heyy!

It's been a little while, and that only because I've been having trouble working this blog, but I have been meaning to write. What about you may ask? Well I'll tell you :P 

On Saturday (April 30th) I was a bridesmaid in my aunts wedding. We hadn't talked in a while, but she asked me so I said yes. So on Saturday my sister 2 nieces her husband, and myself pile in their car and head for the wedding. 


Old Mill Chapel 

Old Mill

I wasn't sure how I would feel about going at first, but I actually had a lot of fun! It was nice to see every one it has been quite a while, and I wasn't sure how that would go over at first, but like I said It was great. My sister was there in case things were awkward or boring, but the building was beautiful the pictures were fun, and I got to see cousins, aunts, and uncles I haven't seen in so long, as well as meeting a slew of new people. The food wasn't bad I'm just not a big steak fan, but really who goes to a wedding for the food. My aunt looked happy and it was nice to see her like that. 

Later on in the night, just before we left, most of the people there danced to 'Let It Go' form Frozen it's my nieces favourite movie and songs it was funny to see everyone dancing and belting out the words!

My niece had the best time dancing with my cousin and posing for pictures even though she was being shy in the end she didn't want to leave. 

Review Time!:

Okay so here it goes! Even though you may not want to do something think it through and if its not dangerous or illegal try it out, you never know it may surprise you! Discovering something new that you never thought you would like is always fun! And maybe you'll even meet or reengage with someone awesome!

Thanks for reading! I'll be back soon!
