Show Title/IMDb page: Chasing Life Cast: Italia Ricci...April Mary Page Keller...Sara Haley Ramm...Brenna Aisha Dee...Beth Richard Brancatisano...Dominic FIRST IMPRESSION Before I watched the show (Based on social media, synopsis, channel, etc.) She has cancer so it's going to be a full-on sob fest, especially with an almost all girl cast. Wasn't very impressed with the poster I saw on social media with the lead character sitting on a coffin. Also the name kept making me think of Chasing Liberty or Chasing Amy but that's my own internal word association's fault. After the first episode: SO much better than what the "cover" alludes to. I really identified with April (no, I don't have cancer) but it's not all about cancer in the beginning. It shows her daily life which I thought was great because it really parallels how it changes over the course of her dealing with cancer. It's a realistic approach not a sad Lifetime movie one or reality-tv one either. Thank goodness! She is a strong independent character despite her having cancer. She lives with her family which consists of her mother, younger sister, and grandmother. It is nice to see she lives with them because she is 24 and most shows would have a character of that age living on their own. She works for a newspaper, she doesn't have her dream position yet but she's working towards it. Another thing I really admired about her character is she's so driven. She works hard and tries to keep up this perfectionist type-A personality she has. There are times when her real age shows through as well which is nice so you see she is human. We are reminded that yes she might come off strong and dependent but she's still young. That subtle hint of her younger side helps us remember how sad it is that she has cancer at such a young age and such a thriving point in her life. Her best friend Beth is hilarious and shows the audience another account of how someone at 24 could be living their life. Clearly opposite of April in the way that she works at a coffee shop and kind of comes off with a free-spirit personality with little sense of wanting responsibility. Her love interest Dominic is gorgeous, as all proper love interests should be. It's great to see that relationship progress because it is realistic too. Not a fairy-tale but something you could see happen in your group of friends or to someone you know. After looking up the cast: I looked up the cast members and I was very intrigued because they weren't A-List actors or well-known. They are so wonderful in their parts they play on the show though. I was very impressed with the casting choices, the casting directors for the show definitely did an excellent job at recognizing talent on this one. I even learned the younger sister Brenna played by Haley Ramm is from Texas. I linked thier IMDb pages below. Italia Ricci...April Mary Page Keller...Sara Haley Ramm...Brenna Aisha Dee...Beth Richard Brancatisano...Dominic OVERALL It's not a show that when I watch it I'm hanging on suspense for the next episode but it's so enjoyable when I do watch it that I want to watch it just because of how much I enjoy each episode as an episode in itself. Given, the series is only season 1 and the story is developing so the suspenseful aspect of it might come later but so far I don't mind it not keeping me hanging on the edge of my seat. It's nice to not be stressed out waiting for the next episode and just watch a show I look forward to watching each week instead of counting the days until they tell me what happened when we left off. Sandra, Is This Show Right For Me? Yes, I recommend watching this show if you are a girl the ages of 16-100. The family aspect has a character for everyone that it can reach out to. Probably most enjoyable to 20-30 year olds. Males probably won't be too keen on sitting down to tune in each week but I can see a select few who enjoy good hear ted shows and spending quality time with their significant others wanting to watch. *all views are mine, I am in no way affiliated with the show & or cast. I simply like TV Shows and like for people to discover new ones they might not know about. I seldom critique on acting unless it was just marvelous or horrible because while being an actor, I don't believe that actors are the ones that make a show. I just like to bring information to others in case they are specifically looking for opinions on a show. Just exercising my right to freedom of speech.

Dallas, Texas bound for film stuff. Who says being matchy-matchy is a bad thing?! I love when my luggage matches each other. It brings a sense of organization and helps me remember not to forget anything! Try it!
Ingredients: 1 organic orange 1 passion fruit 1.5 cup of dinosaur kale 1/2 cup cacao nibs Water *Remove seeds from orange *Only put the gooey part of passion fruit in there, seeds are ok. *I only used the leafy part of the kale, not the giant stems. The Process: 1. Blend. 2. Throw over some ice cubes, put a straw in it, and enjoy! Questions? Comment below or feel free to use the contact page. MUST.HAVE.COFFEE.
Simplest recipe! Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk and Black Coffee. Combine equally. Enjoy. :) Frozen Wheat Grass Ice Cubes means INSTANT wheat grass shot without all the blending each time you want one! Here's what you do:
1. Blend all your organic wheat grass. I usually have to mix water with mine. 2. Pour the blended mix into the ice cube tray. 3. If you don't have enough, just keep blending until you fill up the tray. You can do just the liquid or you can get a little clump in the there. I like to mix and match mine. 4. After frozen, place as many cubes as you'd like into a glass and let it melt. I like to add a lemon (it's the only way I make it through wheat grass) I've found cold wheat grass is easier to get down instead of room temperature. It's great because you aren't wasting any of the wheat grass you buy because it stays good since it's frozen. You don't have to take a ton of shots in one day either, now you can have them whenever you want. Especially with a lemon squeezed into it, it makes the perfect healthy summer refresher shot! Pretty crazy I know.... but granted this is a raw recipe so it's not your cookies n' cream-full of sugar-ice cream that you're used to. It's more like a Sherbet or Italian Ice, kind of Ice Cream but those don't roll off the tongue so well.
Ingredients: 1. Frozen Strawberries 2. Unsweetened Almond Milk (Or sweetened) 3. Spectrum Coconut, Cocoa, Chia, & Flax Decadent Blend. (Used for baking but I always sprinkle mine on top of things) Optional: Nuts to go on top, I used almonds. Agave Sweetner if you just really want something super sweet. Other fruits. I'm going to try pineapple and banana next! Other Milk Flavors. They have a chocolate almond milk and coconut milk will definitely give it more of a summertime feeling. The Process: 1. Put frozen strawberries in the blender or food processor. 2. Pour the milk in the blender. 3. You can either save the Decadent Blend for after and sprinkle it or mix it in with the blender. 4. Blend. Unless you have an awesome blender this part takes awhile. You have to keep mashing the strawberries down so the blade will hit them. 5. Put in a bowl and add any toppings you chose! The Mathematical: 1 cup strawberries || 35 Calories 1 cup Almond Milk || 30 Calories 1 tablespoon Spectrum Decadent Blend || 35 Calories _______________ ONLY 100 CALORIES :) If I don't approve your comment in time and you have emergency questions just e-mail me! Hope you enjoy! I absolutely LOVE this product! I found it on the shelves of HEB just hiding with it's little friends. (There are other flavors than Tomato).
Why I love it 1. It's like the Ramen of healthy food! Just like Ramen, it's very low cost. Probably the lowest cost health item in your basket besides fruits and veggies. Retail price is $1.99 here in the USA, I literally go and buy out the shelf. Sorry if you shop at my home store! 2. It gets a long with everything! You can add anything to this soup and it tastes good. I've done black beans & quiona, chicken & mushrooms, broccoli, kale, carrots. It has wonderful possibilities. 3. Low Calorie It only has 39 calories per bottle. I'm someone who pays attention to calories so this was a big win to me. 4. There's More Than Meets The Eye This little tiny can has a FULL serving of vegetables! The taste is wonderful, whether it's cold or room temperature it always tastes like a light weight soup. By that I mean, it's not weighed down by anything extra. It tastes clean and free of secret ingredients you have no idea about. 5.Travel Size Need I say more? For so many busy lifestyles trying to stay healthy these days it's perfect to grab and go. You can just drink it out of the can, it even says so on the bottle! 6. Fits Your Diet Needs It's Gluten Free and vegetarian and it has no added sugars. 7. Typography Design Last but not least, of course, the package is definitely eye-appealing. Probably why I picked it up to try, which i'm so glad I did. Start your morning off right with this easy fruit salad topped with super foods! Ingredients: Organic Strawberries Organic Kiwi Organic Raspberries Spectrum Essentials Chia & Flax Seed Decadent Blend with Coconut & Cocoa What I love about the blend is even though it's primary use is for baking it gives great texture when I sprinkle it over fruit and I get great ingredients in one package! I love it! I've been using it for 3 weeks now and I still have almost the whole bag. Definitely worth the price! Here's a link to it! |
