Tribute to Leonard Nimoy

Posted on March 3 2015 by Colleen Houck

The passing of Leonard Nimoy was very sad for me. There are a lot of fantastic actors in Hollywood who play wonderful characters but there is no character as memorable to me as Mr. Spock. He’s been a part of my life for as long as I can remember and I love him as if he were a real person. My fondness for Star Trek began when I was a little girl. I remember sitting on my dad’s lap watching Saturday Star Trek marathons. We bonded over it and I grew to love the show as much as he did. With …

Movie Review: Jupiter Ascending

Posted on February 25 2015 by Colleen Houck

Jupiter Ascending I always give spoilers so consider yourself warned. =) Colleen’s Movie Review Romance: Loved the line where Jupiter says she loves dogs. Like the two of them together but the romance was just a bit forced. It didn’t have time to develop naturally. A few more interactions between them and a few less action scenes would have cemented the relationship a bit more. Other than his eye twitches there was no way to tell if Caine had feelings at all, let alone romantic ones. Get latest updates about movies at colabioclipanama2019 .

Blushing Prize

Posted on February 14 2015 by Shara Lane

Blushing is an involuntary response. It’s the way your nervous system responds to an emotional situation. Maybe you blush when that cute guy in your class catches you stealing a glance in his direction. Wooosh…and your cheeks turn pink. Embarrassing, but now you look super pretty. We also get flushed and rosy when we exercise or when a cold wind bites our cheeks in Winter and Fall. Which ever way it happens it makes us look alive, and it’s one of those visual clues that can hint to what were thinking about. How can you get that natural pink glow in …
