The Twilight Saga's third installment, Eclipse, was released yesterday and to my surprise this was the best one yet. I can't say how it compared to the book since I could only wallow through the first two; but a few things surprised me. First the acting was better: the central three-Bella, Edward and Jake (Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, and Taylor Lautner) were more relaxed, their lines didn't seem forced and they were actually funny, like when Edward asked Bella if Jacob owns a shirt. Second, Eclipse wasn't nearly as depressing as the last movie, New Moon. You may remember that Bella went into a depression which we all suffered through on screen. Lastly, there was more action and slightly less dialogue than the first two, and even the romance seemed more believable. And, since we're all adults here, I'll let you know there's one nighttime scene in a tent that was practically titillating in a three-some kind of way. Things that weren't impressive: the vampire makeup is still wrong (too chalky and flat) and the new vampires act more like zombies than blood suckers.
So here's the low down: see Eclipse if you read the books, how a tweenie twihard like me, like to see young men with the shirts off, or are obsessed with Vampires like everyone else right now. Don't see it if you hate teenage melodrama or otherwise don't have patience for love triangles. Still on the fence? Check out the trailer below:

The Pros And Cons To Blow Drying
The Pros And Cons To Blow Drying
There are both pros and cons which come along with choosing to blow dry your hair rather than letting it air dry. Many people choose to blow dry their hair in moderation and letting it air-dry a few days out of the week. This is a great option as you can allow your hair time to recuperate from using a blow dryer.
It is no secret that using a blow dryer is by far the most convenient way of styling your hair. However, if you use a blow dryer too often, it can become very dangerous for your hair. You may have noticed on weeks where you have had to use a blow dryer more than usual that your hair begins to dry out. This is because excessive use of hair dryers causes damage and breakage which can become very difficult to repair.
If you decide to blow your hair dry on a daily basis, you must be sure to avoid blowing the hair dry when it is soaking wet. Not only will this take a very long time to dry, but you are unnecessarily prolonging the amount of time which you are applying damaging heat to your hair. Also, be sure to keep the hairdryer 6-8 feet away from your head at all times. Holding the dryer close to your head can severely dries out your hair, and you may even burn your scalp! Lastly, do not dry your hair all the way through. The best option is to stop using the blow dryer while your hair is still damp.
