Compression Movie - Review

Compression - 2024

This movie was made back in 2024. My good friend and actor Kevin Roach has been talking about this movie for last several years and now you can watch it too!

 Compression Trailer

GO WATCH IT HERE!

You can watch on Amazon, and also Fandango.

This movie is about an girl that does a show. Her name is Hazel. She is severely agoraphobic. She works from home and studies true crime stories. Because of her a girl was saved. Throughout this movie she faces a lot of fears and memories and it can be quite intense.

She is drinking a lot. She has a therapist she talks to. She has a sister and is missing her boyfriend. Without giving too much away, you can see through the eyes of Hazel that she struggles with her past, she struggles with living. She has been through intense trauma.

A friend of hers gives her some magic mushrooms to go out and try to get an out of body experience and maybe get through some of her insecurities.

She decided to take everything and goes on a lifechanging trip.

Anyhow, this movie was very good. It keeps you on your toes and has a great ending that kinda ties it all together and makes total sense.

A bit horror, a bit psychological and very intense.

A must see!

2 thumbs up!

Kevin, I love it so much!!!

Need A Computer Upgrade or Repair???

This gal has been busy! I just finished a custom build for a friend. He wanted a gaming PC. Not just a bunch of bells and whistles, just functional and great storage and it flies.

It might not look like much finished but its super sweet. He gave me a budget of $1100. I ended up completing the build for $1048.

What we used

Zachs Custom Build

I checked out many sites and saved him a lot. If you look at the current price of the build as it stands right now, this is his tower that I built. This price doesn't include the shipping and taxes. My final price above is after shipping and taxes. So I saved him a lot.

I also ended up getting him a larger hard drive as well.

Here are the pics.

Now here is something to think about. There are options for interior lighting, extra fans and cooling, multiple hard drives, and slots for so much additional expansion however, he would like later on.

If you like what you see here or want to know what I could help you with...Message me.

Spring Lawnmower Wake up!

So it is spring. How many of you have lawnmowers?

So I have 2 and I was working on mine today and it had been flooding. So I was going through it and see what was what. So here is a reminder for spring. Clean out the gas tank. Change the oil!  Put non ethanol gas in it. Clean your carb and check for my issue...see if it is flooding. If so you need a needle and seal and possibly a new float if its metal.  So, I was about to just order those parts for $8.99 but on amazon for $19.99 I found the ENTIRE kit. Air filter, full carb, seals, gas lines, spark plug and more. I was like well even if I only need the seal and needle...The whole kit is a better buy. So if you have a mower, check that first before you waste extra money.

Briggs and Stratton Tune Up Kit

This is what my mower takes, check your mower model first before you purchase. I just thought I would put a PSA out there for those looking to get your mowers woke up for spring and summer.

Anyhow, hope you all are well. Happy Spring!

I got the repair done today!

Treat Spot Review - COBA The Hojicha Bar Review

 

Hi! I had a chance to try the new COBA The Hojicha Bar.

So this bar kinda blew my mind. If you like not super sugary matcha latte...this really hits the spot. Its only 2 ingredients. Hojicha and white chocolate make up this little bar.  I was a bit surprised by the flavor. On first appearance I thought it would taste like milk chocolate based on color but no...it is very green tea matcha forward. It is not bitter but also not super sweet. One bar is equivalent to one cup of tea.  If you are watching carbs, this one bar has 7. This bar is 80 calories.  If you are a fan of more traditional green tea matcha, this flavor profile gets it right in the first bite.  

So I personally like it. Both of my daughters liked it. My oldest loves matcha latte. My youngest was a bit confused at first but then was like...oh I get it now.

Overall, Id probably purchase them depending on the price point. Im not a huge chocolate eater in general unless I get a craving for it occasionally and even then I go for sugar free things because im diabetic. These are not sugar free but also not super high in sugar for the size.

I like the clean ingredients. I like the simple packaging. Im glad I got to test these.  This sample was provided to me via treat spot.

Deadly Wars - By Amber Allee - Book Review

Hi everyone!

Amber Allee Author

I recently go a chance to read Deadly Wars!

This book is pretty intense. The main character is a major badass boss. He's the President of a Motorcycle club.. Stone is the ruler of the roost. So he calls all the shots. People come to him if they are on the run and he gives them jobs working for him as maids or other services in order for them to stay safe.

He is a very touch her and die kinda guy. Fiercly protective and stands up for his troupe and family and relationships.

Reagan has come back to town. She thought things would be different and meets Stone. She has a clear mind and speaks it very well. She also is full of piss and vinegar. Shes a very FAFO type of woman and I think that is what the main appeal to Stone is of her.

I don't want to let too much out but I will say this. The chemistry is intense as is the story. You will be hooked into it from about page 3 and not want to put it down. If you like MC romance. If you like serious alpha male men and women that can kick ass you will love this combo.

Don't gatekeep on this author!

You can purchase it here!

Teacher Raises in Oklahoma...What is Really Happening Here?

 So today I came across a post about teachers in Oklahoma getting a raise of $2500. That sounds amazing right? But it comes with several red flags.

To receive this money they have to work an additional 15 days a year. They will not receive the daily rate they are due for those extra days meaning they are losing over $1800. That to me sounds awful enough. But here is the kicker....That money is coming out of the TEACHERS retirement fund.

This is money each and every Oklahoma teacher has placed money into for their entire careers and now the state wants to take that money to pay for these "raises" and upgrades to schools and scholarships for students to enroll in private school.

So what can we do?

First go check into this for yourself.

Do you know a teacher? Are you a teacher? We need to fight this before anyone can let it fall through the cracks.

Another Source

I have done unclassifed teaching in the past and the pay is not great. Even with my bachelors degree it's not great. Teachers already barely make ends meet. I know many that work a 2nd job over the summer just to be able to keep their bills paid. I cannot comprehend how this is allowed. These men and women spend countless years making sure our children learn and succeed.

So how can we help this no happen? We need to contact our Oklahoma State Representatives

Trey Caldwell 

Oklahoma Department Of Education

Please reach out! These funds should not be coming from our teachers pockets. This needs to be addressed from state or federal funding. Not from the very people that do the most for our children and education in this state!

For Whom The Belle Tolls - Book Review

Jaysea Lynn

So this book has been a hit!

Have you ever seen Hell's Belles on tiktok? This book is the prequel to those skits and videos by Jaysea!

You can purchase it here 

If you have Tiktok, you can find her there at Hells Belles

So about the book!!!

It is a romantasy between Lily and Bel. Lily makes a Hellp Desk and starts helping souls in hell. This story touches on some different and deep topics. Pay attention to triggers. This book is very well written. You will want to devour it. It covers found family, religious trauma and much more.

Lily passes into the afterlife and gets her paradise but becomes drawn to hell. She goes wandering and goes down to Hell and decided to help.  She decided to take all her customer service experience and help assist souls to where they need to go. This includes all the different levels of the afterlife and all the different religions. The hellp desk is for helping put the souls in Hell to their respective levels of hell. She enjoys this because she can treat the souls terribly like how she was treated in her lifetime after years of customer service. One day at the Hellp desk a little girl comes down after she passes and believes she deserves hell after religious trauma. Lily adopts her and slowly makes her feel like she has a place to belong.  There are monsters from other realms trying to take over hell because their world is dying. 

Lots of sarcasm and sass. It's a must read that you won't want to put down.

Bring tissues, because you will need them!

There are Lily and Bel as one budding romance and near the end enters Penny who will be the main character for book 2.

The book takes place before Jayseas Hells Belles series on TikTok that is linked above. If you want to get an idea of why this book is so hot...go check out the hells belles series too. It is also on youtube - Jaysea Lynn.

ATTENTION REVIEWERS!!! Scam Jewelry Reviews or No?

 Hey guys. I have been on Instagram recently and I keep getting offers from random jewelry businesses. They claim that if I pay the first time shipping on items that I will get FREE items after the fact over and over again.

Here is my issue with this.

How do 4 different jewelry companies all have the same business model?

Same compensation?

I am told the are "vetting" people with the whole pay shipping the first time.

But again I have yet another issue with that statement. As you can see I have an established blog here full of reviews. So, if I were not a legit reviewer, why would I share this platform?

I am told each sale from my affiliate link is $20. This is the same on all 4 jewelry sites that have approached me.

The shipping is atrocious as well. So, I have my reservations. As I also design and sell jewelry I understand how weight has a factor on price but, If i can send heavy stone and silver jewelry worldwide for less then they can ship one lightweight item, I am very suspicious.

Aside from 1, they are dodgy about the materials that the jewelry is made out of. I am very transparent in things I make on my Jtcreationz page.  It's really not that hard to answer a simple question. I have metal allergies to nickel. I cannot wear plated jewelry at all as my skin is so acidic it literally destroys the plating. This is even the issue on my white gold jewelry and often I have to have it serviced multiple times a year as my skin takes the rhodium plating that keeps white gold white off it with daily wear.

So, dear readers... have any of you been approached by jewelry companies and had a good experience?

If you have please comment below. If you have had a poor experience or recieved sub par items I'd really appreciate the feedback on who it was with. I would love to promote good fine jewelry, however, I do not promote items that will turn you colors or just literally are no good in the long run. I do not like when a company claims Fine Jewelry and it ends up being plated with some kind of  zinc, brass, or copper core. Plating doesn't last long term on most people especially if you wear your jewelry daily, or in the shower like I do.

So anyhow, If you are interested in who has been messaging me, please comment. I will be happy to share this info if it means I find out one way or another if they are legit or scammers. I want to prevent people from being taken advantage of. If they are legit, then I am interested in checking things out.

Amazon Mishap Today

 So today I recieved a package from Amazon.  The package included a lipstick....

The lipstick arrived with no top at all. Its not even in the packaging. So whoever packaged it just tossed it in without a top.

Im not sure who did this but its basic common sense that when you are putting orders together if pieces are missing you replace the item before packaging it up.

I am getting a replacement but what a mess on my items.

I am on Tiktok and Instagram and X

 Hey everyone.

So as some of you know I do a lot of a lot of things. Today I had the pleasure of editing and designing a few tattoo designs.

The first one is for my husband. It will be  on his forearm inside.

These next ones are different. The origional tattoo image that was used in the big full size one had other elements to it that was asked to be removed. So I took them out. We added in this soldiers division and and his branch. I also created a custom Fallen Soldier design that he can have with the main design and I designed it as a standalone as well for a different area. Hope you enjoy!

I do other types of graphics as well.

The Fast Dirt is for a friend and veteran that is a streamer! Check him out on tiktok! He does retro gaming.

This design was made to help promote my friends daughter selling girl scout cookies.

Her link is here!

If you can imagine it I may be able to make it happen!  I have a BFA - in web design.

If you'd like to see more of my work...and there is a lot from many moons ago you can see it here.

Choose The Flame Band - Oklahoma

 Hi Everyone!

I had the pleasure of going to a concert this last weekend and saw Choose the Flame! Also there was Enferart, and Blind Oath.  I took many pictures and I have been editing them as well. You should follow them. The music is really great and it was an amazing show.

Jtcreationz Photography - shot these with a S23 set on manual as I was not sure if cameras were allowed in this venue as it was a debute show. It was a lot of fun. So I will share a few here and if you'd like to see more of my work, you can always check out my pages.

They offered a market before the show. Here are a few pics of that!
