My Alaskan Adventure in 10 pictures...

Hello my Wonderlandians, 

As you know I went to Alaska about a month ago and I promised you pictures! I took so many that it was hard for me to narrow them down. 

Here is my Alaskan trip in pictures:
Leaving in the evening from a beautiful San Francisco sunset!
Arriving to snowy mountain tops :)

Traveled with my puppy Blanca :)

Bear hugs... You know the norm xD
Beautiful landscape!
As well as good company ;)
Can you spot the moose?
Snowy mountains in the distance :)
Hanging out at the beach :)
A beautiful sunset to say goodbye <3

That is all I have for you today 

Yours,

Abstract Alice

Book Geek ~ Favourite Author

Hello there Wonderlandians!

Today I will be sharing with you one of my favorite authors. Her name is Juliet Marillier and her books always captivate me in the most intricate ways. Her genre is fantasy, her books are often found in the science fiction area in libraries (although I fail to see why). She has written many books and I find myself looking forward to each and everyone.

What I own:
  • The Dark Mirror
  • Heart's Blood
What I have read (in series order):
  •  Book for Young Adults (the books that got me hooked)
    • Wildwood Dancing
    • Cybele's Secret
  • The Sevenwaters Series
    • Daughter of the Forest
    • Son of the Shadows
    • Child of the Prophecy
    • Heir to Sevenwaters
    • Seer of Sevenwaters
    • Flame of Sevenwaters
  • Heart's Blood
Her books always involve a strong female lead and you find yourself getting attached to these characters. Each book has left me in a whirlwind of emotion. I highly recommends these as they are some of my favourite books to read.

I wish you all happy readings and until next time!

Drugstore Haul No.1

Hello my fellow Wonderlandians!

The other day after going out with my friends to go see Pacific Rim (great movie by the way, highly recommended), we decided to head into Wal-Mart, because one of my friends needed some things. I managed to get ensnared by the beauty/makeup section... SO I ended up getting a few things. All of them were things I had been eyeing for a couple weeks and finally decided to get. Without further ado...
Here is what I got:
  • Revlon
    • Colorburst Lip Butter in Juicy Papaya
    • Super Lustrous Lipstick in the following:
      • Berry Couture
      • Plum Velour
      • Black Cherry
  •  Rimmel
    • Stay Matte in 001 (a bit paler than my complexion now in the summer but I am moving to Alaska so I thought it best to go with a lighter shade)
    • Lasting Finish by Kate Lipstick in:
      • 09
      • 12

In the color 001 Transparent

 I had originally gone into the beauty section only searching for the Stay Matte powder, because I kept hearing great reviews about this product. I will let you know as soon as I have used this product enough to give you my honest opinion on it. As I was already in the beauty section, however I thought I would look for the Maybelline lipstick in Hot Plum, but there were none. So i went in search for a plum-ish colored lipstick and I think I found that and more. The other lipstick I kept hearing good things about were the Revlon Lip Butters so I grabbed one that caught my fancy.

I look forward to trying these products out and reviewing them for you in future blogs, so keep an eye out!

Yours Truly,

Abstract Alice

Not really sure what happened....

Hello my wonderlandians!

Not really sure what happened. As you may know from my previous post I was in an Alaskan Adventure for a couple weeks. I had loads of fun with friends!!! However while I was up there posts should have still been occurring regardless, but they did not and I can no longer find them. Never fear however I am back and I will be posting up those blogs I had promised. Bare with me as I retype them and get them up.

If you would like to see all my beautiful pictures from Alaska you can look forward to them in an upcoming post!

With Love,

Abstract Alice
