@clintasha-week advent calendar day 25 - holidays

No hate against quiet celebrations of christmas i just really want to write a found family fic. My last advent calendar day!!!

The Invitation arrives mid-November.

You are cordially invited to Morgan Starks first Christmas. The 23rd to the 27th of December.

Great. Just great. It's a little too early for Christmas but either Peppers excellent organisational skills or Tony's excitement had got the better of one of them. She should reply, she really should, she loves her little goddaughter. But Christmas has always been a quiet affair, a lazy day between her and Clint. One where she didn't have to walk around with her guards up, ready for anything. She pins the invitation to her notice board and mentally makes a note to reply, once she's made a decision.

Then HYDRA rears their ugly head and Christmas becomes more of an afterthought. Its Clint who gives her the nudge she needs.

"So what's the plan for Christmas?"

Natasha shrugs "It's Morgan's first Christmas"

"Yeah, I know. That normally happens once someone's had a baby"

"I'd like to be there"

"Yeah?" Clint asks smile rising to his cheeks, "Pepper says it's just going to be low key. Just the Avengers, Bucky, Rhodey, Happy and Peter and his Aunt. We can bring Lucky. Leave early if it gets too much"

Natasha nods. That sounded - tolerable. "At least I won't have to cook"

It sounded simple. Just RSVP but nothing could ever be simple for Tony. There's even a freaking timetable for her to agree too.

They should arrive anytime on the 23rd but preferably in time for the adults-only party in the evening. The words PETER CAN ATTEND BUT WILL NOT BE SERVED ALCOHOL have been written in pen underneath. The 24th involves baking and board games and carol singing and a visit from Santa followed by a child-friendly fancy dress party in the evening. The 25th is Christmas. Presents encouraged, Pyjamas only. The 26th is an open house with exclusive invitations to those Tony deems worthy of paying homage to his baby daughter. She knows that Hills been invited so that'll be - nice.

They receive time off from SHIELD starting the 16th so there's a rush to get presents (I mean what do you get a billionaire and an 8-month-old?!) acceptable pyjamas and a fancy dress costume. Clint decides they should be pirates so he can master the eye patch ready to take over from Fury. Natasha leaves that to Clint using the time to buy her archer a few presents. A new lead for Lucky and a Tourist's guide to Budapest amongst other things. She spoils Morgan into a state of rotten worse than the back of Clint's fridge but it's worth it or it will be.

It's already by the 23rd. Just. She'd be lying if she wasn't still wrapping presents under Lucky's supervision in the back of the quin jet on the way over to Tony's Minnesota mansion. The sun is dipping as they arrive exchanging hugs and a quick squeeze with Morgan before she needs to go to bed. She's surprised to find she doesn't hate it. They give them space to settle into their rooms. Separate accommodation had been provided, but one instantly becomes a luggage storage facility. No one comments. It's nice even when Jarvis directs them down to the Outside barn for the party. It's smart casual, laid back and lit up with fairy lights and a moderate Tree in pride of place. Like someone had put real thought and care into who and what they were doing. Theirs an ice sculpture that's giving out some sort of non-alcoholic punch. A pool table, air hockey table and various amusements but it's the target practice area built into the corner with various weapons from axes to darts that they make a beeline too. Clint quickly claiming the bow. It's a nice icebreaker. Bucky and Clint hit it off occupying two of the lanes showing off to no one but each other, leaving Natasha and Steve to talk.

"Your Clint is good isn't he- there's not much between them. Your Clint. My Bucky" he's had a little to drink but Natasha doesn't care. They've earn't this.

"He's not my boyfriend"

"I know. You're just sweet on him and he's sweet on you. It's nice to see you both happy" Steve says knowingly.

That just about sums it up. She's sweet on him -for him. Just about him.

"Yeah, I'm just sweet on him" she nods.

"Good. Think he's got a fan" he says tipping his bottle towards the young Spiderman who Clint greets warmly.

Natasha smiles downing the rest of her drink in one "Ever thrown an axe before Cap?"

Slowly the numbers in the building rise until everyone's arrived and it's - nice. Really nice. Just a relaxed evening with people she considers friends. She doesn't think once about home or switch to the 5D chess or Machiavellian mind games. They all call it a night at 2 am for fear of waking Morgan but Tony assures them the Barn will be open to use thorough out the stay. Perfect.

Lucky wakes them early the next morning. Too early. but he still manages to drag them on a walk exploring the gardens of the house. It's beautiful even as the snow starts to fall driving Lucky crazy. Clint holds her hand once the mansions out if view. "Need to keep them warm or Morgan will scream the place down when hold her"

They walk until the winter sun rises enough to melt the snow clouds and return to the house Jarvis greeting them upon arrival. Apparently most of the house were in the kitchen baking- or at least attempting to. Only Rhodey seemed to be busy with a few saucepans. The pantry is well stocked though and Steves happy enough to try his hand at gingerbread to escape Bucky and Sam's endless bickering. Natashas just happy to hold the sleeping Morgan, Lucky laying on her lap as Pepper gives Clint the pantry tour. She can't escape the nagging worry that she's not worrying enough until Morgan wakes and stares longingly at the next Christmas tree of the Starks small forest. She gives her a tour and gets roped into help Clint with cookies when Morgan gets hungry and Clint forgets the correct conversion rate between metric and imperial. They're good though melting into her mouth as Clint offers her out a bite. She can feel eyes on them but she doesn't care. They don't care, she reasons or they'd have commented when they'd disappeared into the same bedroom the night before. The afternoon starts as planned with boardgames but quickly dissolves into chaos once it becomes clear that playing trivial pursuit with 3 geniuses, two people with somewhat blank memories of the past 60 years and a Norse god will simply end in tears. It moves to charades which Clint cheats at using ASL to end his torturous turns as soon as possible. Peter soon figures that out causing them to move swiftly onto Jenga the ultimate superhero lever. The games are long drawn out competitive things. It's taken more seriously than most of their missions Natasha notes with a grin. She melts into Steve's arms letting her whisper trash talk into her ear, maybe he's more fun than he first appears. It lasts until Morgan decides it shouldn't screeching and whimpering and demanding a nap. Ruining the quiet calm required for competitive Jenga. Slowly the party breaks away, Tony reminding them of the carols and Santa's visit promised later. Natasha promises to come only to see Morgan's reaction Clint had a $50 bet she'd cry at the sight of the new Intruder, presents be dammed. He's unfortunately right and it takes her through half of the carols (and some of those own songs that mention too much war to be specifically Yuletide) to settle into Pepper's arms before doing the tour of all her Uncles and Aunty's. She coos at Natasha obviously complaints about the new red intruder, but one tickle under her chin and she bursts into giggles.

"Your a natural" Pepper says with a smile, "Obviously her favourite"

Natasha savours the cuddles for a little longer before handing her back carefully removing her little hands from her curls.

"Thank you, Natalie, we are going to have a little nap ahead of the party tonight. Starts at seven. Back here, it's too cold for this little one in the barn. She'll want to see all the costumes hopefully you'll be much happier when it's all your friends dressed up, huh, baby" Pepper coos.

She whisks the little one away before the tears can flow once again leaving Natasha to care for her own needy creature who is just desperate for a walk.

Clint has laid out their costumes on the bed. The costumes are beautiful, Clints has a definite focus on his arms sleeved cut enough to draw attention to each muscle. The swords are surprisingly substantial.

"Mine from the circus"

"A pirate in the circus?!"

"A swordsman in a circus?"

He grins "exactly would you like to learn?"

She smiles picking one up and testing its weight. "I think I can figure it out. Most weapons are fairly intuitive"

"Ready then? Let's see if you can figure it out"

He meets her sword swinging it gently into hers. She grins and meets it using the motion to try and push him off balance. It's ineffective so he capitalises using the swing in her weight to knock her backwards on to the bed but he's too confident in knocking her down leaning too far forward that it would be rude not to bring him down with her.

"Hey" he grins, not exactly disappointed by his new position.

"Hi" She whispers standing up before the blush can rise to her cheeks "You'll have to bring these to SHIELD one day. Give me a proper lesson."

Clint agrees completing a quick change into his pirate costume. Natasha isn't one for fantasy but she can make one exception letting her mind wander.

"Your turn?" He says before putting on his boots.

She doesn't even need to question the sizing if anyone's Natashas body it's him. She changes quickly staring at her self in the mirror. What would madam say at this act of childishness dressing up for a child barely able to comprehend their presence let alone who they are dressing up as. Whatever she would say it doesn't matter Clint wraps his arms around her waist.

"This has been surprisingly Ok. Christmas with the family"

Natasha leans back into his arms "It's complicated, but I wouldn't want to be anywhere else"

"Welcome to Christmas" he laughs, "now I just need to get the mutt ready, You wanna be a pirate bud?"

Lucky complains about the pirate flag neckerchief until the fuss arrives at the party. Steve and Bucky and Sam have dressed in 1940s attire. Bruce in his lab coat and goggles. Thor surprisingly as a firefighter though Natasha isn't sure how he learnt about them but she's sure it's a long story. Rhodey as a member of top gun. Peter is some sort of star wars character Clint recognises on sight though the teenager seems more distracted by his Aunt and Happys couples costume. Tony and Pepper are attendees of Jurassic park the two scientists that become a couple if Natasha remembers the films. Morgan dressed in a dinosaur all in one.

"Oh, you are terrifying" Natasha coos offering her arms out for the little girl. She chirps and delightedly reaching for her hat.

Pepper hands her across returning to grown-up conversation with May and Happy.

Natasha let's her hold the hat bringing her to the sofa and to Lucky's waiting nose.

"Does she smell like dinosaur" Natasha coos letting Morgan pat at Lucky's ears. She manages to keep a hold of her goddaughter for most of the night but she has a curiosity for hats swapping quickly to gain a small collection. She falls asleep playing with Clint's buttons and that draws to a sudden close. Tony smiles that new smile he's developed just for his daughter and takes her into his arms.

"Jarvis will drop off breakfast in bed tomorrow if required. Presents opening at 10.30"

The rest of the evening is a timeless blur of a short walk for Lucky, Warm showers and bed before waking up in Clint's arms as Lucky nudges her arms. Apparently jet lag is harder to adapt to when you're a Canine.

"Merry Christmas Lucks" She whispers brushing her fingers through his hair. They're walking fifteen minutes later holding hands today simply out of habit. They discuss gifts and tell stories until they can no longer feel their fingers when they get back no matter how hard Clint holds her. The ice melts away as they eat breakfast, warm Pastries on a platter left by Jarvis dressed in her new pyjamas. It's a new sort of intimacy. Childlike and raw but it's not awkward. Not like she fears.

They give presents amongst friends when 10.30 rolls around. It's tolerable everyone opening presents at once no one needing to explain or pretend. She needs to work on her pretending, she decides as she opens present after present and finds herself liking most of the presents. It's easy to slip under the radar and just enjoy opening presents or watching others open they're own. Well, that is until Clint opens his tourist guide to Budapest his pointed look puncturing the mood until everyone's quiet.

"I know you've been meaning to visit," Natasha says with a grin.

"Yes, I've been told Budapest is very beautiful at Christmas time" Clint returns flicking through the book.

"Well?" Sam asks "is that it?"

"Thank you Natasha," Clint says with a nod when he reaches the back page.

"Fine keep your secrets" Sam mutter's returning to his own pile.

They settle in for Lunch and then nap in front of the fireplace after the queen's speech. Tony had indicated a childhood tradition enforced by his butler. She holds Morgan as they doze pulling the little one in close.

"So this is Christmas huh?"

Confirmed: P.E. Is Terrible

It’s almost too easy to satirize physical education, better known by its eye-roll-inducing abbreviation P.E. From Clueless to Superbad to Spiderman: Homecoming, parodies of gym class are a pop-culture darling. Perhaps that’s because they speak to one of America’s fundamental truths: For many kids, P.E. is terrible.

A recent working paper focused on a massive P.E. initiative in Texas captures this reality. Analyzing data out of the state’s Texas Fitness Now program—a $37 million endeavor to improve middle schoolers’ fitness, academic achievement, and behavior by requiring them to participate in P.E. every day—the researchers concluded that the daily mandate didn’t have any positive impact on kids’ health or educational outcome. On the contrary: They found that the program, which ran from 2007 to 2011, actually had detrimental effects, correlating with an uptick in discipline and absence rates.

As for why this particular P.E. program was counterproductive, Analisa Packham, an economics professor at Miami University in Ohio who co-authored the study, points to bullying as one potential reason. Students are more likely to be bullied in middle school than at any other point in their academic careers, and P.E. presents a particularly ripe opportunity for abuse, whether because the class forces them to use a locker room, where adult supervision is limited, or because it facilitates the teasing of overweight or unathletic kids.

[Read: The cost of cutting high-school athletics]

The paper posits that by subjecting participants—namely low-income kids, as the Fitness Now grants targeted campuses serving disadvantaged populations—to these circumstances on a daily basis, the P.E. requirement made students less inclined to go to school. “These adolescents were not enjoying the daily P.E. requirements and would’ve rather skipped school,” suggests Packham, who as an economist has focused her research on the outcomes of health programs. The Fitness Now program required that students participate in at least 30 minutes of physical education every school day. Schools that took part in the grant received $10,000 on average to help improve their P.E. programs by adding classes, for example, or hiring coaches and fitness instructors. They also used the money to purchase equipment such as stopwatches, jump ropes, and free weights.

According to the study, the program resulted in a roughly 16 percent increase in the number of disciplinary actions for each student. The study also found that the proportion of misbehaving students went up by more than 7 percent.

The findings of the study, which has yet to be published in an academic journal, are limited in scope. Still, the new paper adds much-needed nuance to the body of research that has evaluated the effectiveness of various approaches to P.E., complicating the findings of studies that generally assert the importance of school policies that encourage regular opportunities for physical activity.

It’s hard to argue that a given P.E. program is anything but well intended, particularly when considering that children spend most of their waking hours—and meals—at school, and that childhood obesity is a national crisis. But the kind of strategy taken by many of the Fitness Now schools may not be the most effective way to achieve the purported goals.

To be effective, a P.E. program typically needs to be multifaceted and holistic, suggests a 2013 book on America’s physical-education landscape that was co-edited by Harold Kohl, a professor of kinesiology and health education at the University of Texas at Austin. That might involve healthy-living and nutrition classes, parent education, and frequent opportunities for unstructured play—all on top of more conventional “gym class.” This may help explain why, for example, one 2012 study based on data from the National Survey of Children’s Health found that required P.E. alone generally doesn’t have any noteworthy impact on boys’ physical-activity levels or obesity, though it did have a marginal impact on girls’. Similarly, an earlier 2015 study on Texas’s Fitness Now program found it to be largely ineffective, resulting in slight improvements to kids’ fitness skills and having no impact on BMI or academic achievement.

The results of Packham’s paper on the Fitness Now program support the basic takeaway that the design of P.E. courses is what’s most consequential, and they hint at two interconnected factors that experts suggest tend to undermine the impact of such curricula. For one, P.E. programs often rely on a superficial notion of gym class—conceiving of physical activity as little more than a timed run around the track, for example, or a game of kickball—and this results in worse offerings. And then, when students feel forced to take these basic offerings, they may resent the classes more than they would otherwise. “Older kids have already formed these important eating and exercising habits, and changing their daily decisions is more complicated than just providing money for jump ropes,” Packham says.

Despite greater recognition of the academic benefits of physical activities—including guidelines from agencies such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention stressing that kids should get at least an hour of such activities a day—schools began to deprioritize P.E. about two decades ago, and the cuts have persisted in many cases, suggests Kohl. Accompanying this shift has been a movement away from casual activities such as recess, which experts argue is one of the more effective means of promoting children’s physical health. An immense body of research demonstrates the positive benefits of increased recess time, which schools started to cut after No Child Left Behind was signed into law, because of the policy’s emphasis on academic subjects such as reading and math.

Justin Cahill, a veteran P.E. educator who’s taught at an Atlanta-area private school for the past decade or so, stresses that it’s the typical application of physical education rather than the fundamental concept that results in bad outcomes. Until the past few years, P.E. classes tended to focus on kids’ acquisition of skills, such as dribbling a ball, and the fulfillment of universal benchmarks, such as the ability to run around a track three times within some specific amount of time. This approach, he says, “breeds stagnation and disinterest—the kids are like, ‘Yeah, this is ridiculous.’” It can also, as Packham’s study suggests, breed resentment: After all, in this “old school” version of P.E., certain kids are bound to struggle.

[Read: Why kids need recess]

Cahill maintains that many P.E. programs are high caliber, successful in both engaging students and producing positive health and wellness outcomes. Echoing the findings outlined in Kohl’s book, he says that positive results are contingent on a multifaceted and holistic design—what he defines as programs that inspire children to exercise without realizing they’re exercising, that simply ensure they’re constantly moving, during recess, frequent “brain breaks” to get out “the sillies,” morning jogs, and, yes, regular P.E. class. Positive results are also contingent on experienced, empathetic P.E. teachers—those who know to modify a curriculum to meet a certain student’s needs, and to give kudos to that child who can’t run around the track. After all, research shows that people can get a good workout even when walking, and the more important thing is to create a healthy relationship with exercise that can last for decades.

Cahill’s own observations at annual conferences—and in his Facebook group for physical-education teachers across the country looking to exchange research on best practices and their own anecdotal advice—make him confident that P.E.’s reputation will improve in the years ahead. “I think P.E. is in a very good place right now,” he says, comparing it with the norm of earlier decades, and even of the early 2000s, after the passage of the federal No Child Left Behind Act. “Teachers are enlightened. The arrow is flipped.”

Still, even if P.E.’s bright spots are evolving into the status quo, both Kohl and Packham argue that P.E. has been scapegoated for public-health problems concerning children, including obesity. “It’s been a false flag that we’ve only looked at P.E.,” Kohl says, “when in fact it’s not the only way that kids can get physical activity.

“By making kids sit and be quiet and learn rather than allowing them to be physically active, we may actually be holding their test scores down,” Kohl continues. “We may be kidding ourselves by making kids sit in classrooms all the time.” For Kohl, the ideal P.E. program would still be five days a week—but unlike the Texas requirement, it would be more focused on building active recess periods into the day and include opportunities before and after school to, say, ride one’s bicycle or walk to and from school and participate in sports.

Vinetics C Eye Cream Review (UPDATED 2017): Don’t Buy Before You Read This!

Vinetics C Eye Cream is a daily eye treatment that reduces puffiness and dark circles, making skin look younger and smoother with use. The makers of this eye cream claim this product works to offset the visible signs of stress, aging and fatigue.

Vinetics C Eye Cream claims to repair skin at a cellular level, plumping the delicate under eye skin, while improving the skin’s natural defenses against oxidative damage. According to the website, this product also works to improve water retention and hydration.

Kremovage is our reviewers’ top choice in eye creams, for its ability to soothe, hydrate and repair dry, damaged skin cells with regular use. Made from a distinctive blend of retinol, peptides and a collection of plant-based powerhouse ingredients, this product is the ideal solution for anyone who wants to look younger and more alert. Click this link to read more about the difference Kremovage can bring to your eye area.

Do You Know the Best Eye Creams of 2017 ?

Vinetics C Eye Cream Ingredients and Side Effects

Unfortunately, there’s no clear information about the ingredients used to make Vinetics C Eye Cream. Despite being featured on multiple sites, the people responsible for creating this product are clearly operating a shady business.

At a base level, consumers expect to see a list of active ingredients, alongside a list of advertised benefits. In the case of Vinetics Eye Cream, users get conflicting information across several channels. There’s a lot of talk about replacing and repairing collagen, but no real information about which ingredients are present in order to do so.

It’s likely made with some kind of peptide blend, along vitamin C, but it’s not especially clear—vitamin C is the only component to this blend that we’ve seen mentioned on any of the literature associated with this product—here’s a quick look as to what you can expect this vitamin/antioxidant to do for your skin.

Vitamin C: Vitamin C is thought to improve collagen production, neutralize free radicals present in the skin and prevent and treat damage caused by UV rays.

Click the link to read our top ten list of the serums and creams made to repair your skin.

Vinetics C Eye Cream Quality of Ingredients

Vinetics C Eye Cream was designed to help repair the skin damage that leads to an older appearance. On one of the websites used to sell this product, there’s a lot of web copy dedicated to discussing the importance of collagen in creating a youthful look.

We agree—collagen truly is a critical element in maintaining a youthful appearance, but certain ingredients work better than others for boosting collagen production. For example, vitamin C, peptides, anything rich in antioxidants—all these items are crucial in giving consumers an improved look.

This product may contain vitamin C, judging by the name, and a single mention on one of the product’s many websites. While vitamin C is a great tool for cellular repair, it works better when other active ingredients are present in the formula.

The reviews are in! Click here to read more about the eye creams that’ll shave years off your appearance.

EDITOR’S TIP: Combine this product with a proven eye cream such as Kremovage for better results.

The Price and Quality of Vinetics C Eye Cream

How one goes about purchasing Vinetics C Eye Cream is not especially clear. There are a few different sites dedicated to offering a free trial to a limited amount of consumers per day, but there’s no pricing structure and even the free trial link seems to redirect to a different product.

Vinetics C Eye Cream may be purchased through eBay, but it looks like it’s being sold by someone who got caught in a free trial marketing scheme and are trying to recoup some of the cash lost from this fraudulent business practice.

This type of scheme is really common, and most of these free trial offers result in the consumer receiving $90 shipments of cream on a monthly basis. We’d venture to guess Vinetics C Eye Cream offers a similar arrangement.

It’s also worth pointing out, we don’t see much value in a product that presumably only contains vitamin C as an active ingredient, as one can purchase concentrated vitamin C at a fraction of the cost. Additionally, there are many examples of eye creams that feature vitamin C along with a range of other components—offered at all price points, many at a far lower price than $90 a jar.

Get our expert opinion on improving your skin without plastic surgery — more here.

Business of Vinetics C Eye Cream

Vinetics Eye Cream appears to have been made by a company known as Iconic. Their contact information is listed below.

Address: Iconic 848 N. Rainbow Bl. #2234 Las Vegas, Nevada 89107.

Phone: 866-280-3019

Email: [email protected]

We don’t know much about Iconic Skin. They appear to have made several products with landing pages, much like Vinetics C Eye Cream—all operating with the same sort of free trial trap business model.

Strangely, the Vinetics C trial website dedicates most of its real estate to promoting the film, Spiderman Homecoming, Okja, and other films that came out earlier in the year. Additionally, the preview tab you’ll see at the top of your browser shows the brand name VigRx, a male enhancement product.

Already, there’s such a disconnect between the content and the purpose of the website, that it’s any wonder anyone has signed up to receive a free trial offer at all.

It’s particularly bad, as we don’t get to see any ingredient label, nor is there any information available about what the product does. They don’t even offer the vague “better than Botox” or “erase ten years from your face” selling points you��ll find on nearly all competing landing pages.

Even clicking on the “try it now” tab leads redirects visitors to a different eye cream—Apex Serum, which changes names halfway down the page.

This website is sloppy, contains no information and exists only to trick people into signing up for a monthly automatic payment cycle. In sum, stay away from this product, and those like it.

It’s unlikely you’ll see any good from getting involved with this company—we suggest steering clear of them as a general rule.

Customer Opinions of Vinetics C Eye Cream

Vinetics C Eye Cream is mentioned across several web-based platforms–though many of these are marketing on Vinetics’ behalf. Unfortunately, we never get to see any reviews in regards to whether the product works, doesn’t work or causes any allergic reactions.

Sure, a few voices here and there mentioned that they had been deceived by this company and were dealing with the consequences of giving their personal details to this company.

Again, this product is rather expensive–at almost $90 per unit, you’re going to want a lot more information. You’ll need to know about what makes it unique–sourcing, rare ingredients, a well-rounded formula, etc.

Finally, we just don’t feel good about recommending a product we not only can’t evaluate ourselves, but others haven’t either. We don’t know if this product really contains any active ingredients, or if it’s just a useless blend of inactive items passed off as an eye serum. With all these questions left unanswered, we’d suggest that anyone on the fence about buying this item should look elsewhere for something different.

Ideally, something with reviews, documented ingredients and benefits, and a website that offers more than the synopsis of this summer’s biggest movies.

Click here to learn why Kremovage is the best choice in antiaging creams.

Conclusion – Does Vinetics C Eye Cream Work?

Vinetics C Eye Cream does not appear to be made by a legitimate company, and as a result, we simply can’t recommend this product to our readers.

Users reported a range of issues, from unauthorized payments to ineffective products—meaning, this product doesn’t seem to have anything positive to offer prospective shoppers.

What makes this even stranger than your typical free trial scheme is, the website features all your hallmark calls to action, but all the content on the main sections of the page are dedicated to various movies from summer 2017.

We’re not sure if this disconnect in content was an ill-advised means of getting more website visitors, but it’s really odd—one of many red flags associated with this unprofessional company.

Between the lack of an ingredient label, bad reviews in regards to this company’s business chronic fraudulent business practices and no comments related to the actual product—we suggest looking elsewhere for an eye cream that can deliver results.

Any company that fails support their customers is bad news, and the people behind Vinetics C Eye Cream are a really poor example of marketing, sales and customer service practices.

Kremovage is our top pick when it comes to bringing the kind of antiaging power to the eyes consumers want from a product. This eye cream contains a well-rounded selection of botanical ingredients, plus peptides and retinol for heavy-hitting wrinkle repair.

Kremovage was made in a certified lab facility using organic, cruelty-free ingredients. Click the link to learn more about how to purchase Kremovage.

The Best Movies and TV of 2016

Hi. I wrote some stuff if you would like to read it and consider my recommendations and maybe discuss them too. I realize it’s the end of January, but the Oscar noms just came out, and although most of social media is making it seem like the world has been turned upside down in the last couple of weeks, I thought maybe taking a few minutes away from lil donny hysteria and looking at something fun would be nice. Like I did with my list of music favorites I haven’t necessarily ranked these; they’re just my favorite movies and tv shows of 2016 listed alphabetically. This was also the first year in a very long time in which I managed to see most of everything I wanted to (though I haven’t seen Elle, Kubo and the Two Strings, The Love Witch, Manchester by the Sea, Paterson, or Toni Erdmann (and I really just don’t care about La La Land)), so I actually felt like I could throw in my two cents. So yeah, please read if you have a few minutes, and if you’re into it, let’s talk about it! <3

-Film- Arrival – The best Denis Villeneuve science fiction movie of 2016 about the importance of empathetic communication which involves listening as well as talking, the importance of understanding and loving your neighbor, regardless of how different your lives may be, and the importance of embracing life and taking full advantage of the time we have right now/existing in the moment and not worrying about what may happen in the future, good or bad. Also, the best Amy Adams movie of 2016.

Captain America: Civil War – The best Russo Brothers comic book movie of 2016 about opposing ideological beliefs that can have the power to tear friendships and partnerships apart, but also about the importance of finding common ground and overcoming those differences. Also Spiderman and Black Panther are the GOAT.

Green Room – The best Jeremy Saulnier siege/suspense movie of 2016 about a punk band taking on a group of neo-Nazis. I don’t remember if any of the neo-Nazis get punched, but rest assured they get the fucked the eff up.

The Handmaiden – The best Park Chan-wook period costume drama of 2016 about how love, sex, and violence are used in oppressive patriarchy; and how love, sex, and violence can be used in order to oppose the patriarchy and achieve liberation.

High Rise – The best Ben Wheatley dystopian Freudian psycho-trip movie of 2016 about the selfish decadence and inevitable self-destruction of modern society.

Hunt for the Wilderpeople – The best Taika Waititi road trip/coming of age movie of 2016, the best Rima Te Wiata movie of 2016, the best Julian Dennison movie of 2016, the best Sam Neil movie of 2016, the best New Zealand movie of 2016, the best happy birthday Ricky Baker song of 2016.

The Invitation – The best Karyn Kusama something-dreadful-is-going-to-happen-at-this-dinner-party-isn’t-it? movie of 2016 about mourning and grief and how you can come out on the other side either stronger or irreparably broken.

Moonlight – The best Barry Jenkins movie of 2016 about Love – maternal, paternal, brotherly, sexual, spiritual… all forms of Love, and especially where it is and where it isn’t… about how love works to foster positive growth and understanding, and how accepting the love of others is crucial to learning how to love oneself… and about so much more.

The Nice Guys – The best Shane Black crime mystery movie of 2016 about some not-so-nice guys and how they miraculously survive every hilariously violent and ridiculous situation they keep getting themselves into.

Nocturnal Animals – The best Tom Ford revenge movie of 2016 and the other best Amy Adams movie of 2016.

Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping – Just the funniest movie of 2016 about how perfect The Lonely Island still are.

Shin Godzilla – The best Godzilla movie in 20 years (probably in the top 5 of all time) about the absurdly comical ineffectiveness of the Japanese bureaucratic government system, the importance of global relations working together to achieve greatness, and Godzilla being an awesome and horrifying destructive force of nature.

Silence – The best Martin Scorsese historical fiction movie of 2016 about the struggle to find and maintain faith in the midst of life-and-death stakes levels of adversity. But also about raising some very difficult philosophical and theological questions concerning what different forms of religion means to people from fundamentally different ways of life in different areas of the world, the morally questionable intentions of missionary work and colonialism, and the self-righteous assumptions of assuming that what one believes to be “the right way” of living one’s life is applicable to everyone else in the world… and not providing easy answers to any of these questions.

The Wailing – The best Hong-jin Na horror movie of 2016 about a few ambiguously malevolent spirits causing a whole bunch of fuckery in a small village in the mountains of S. Korea. Weird and sad, brutally violent, oddly (and intentionally) hilarious, and ultimately about as bleak as you can get.

The Witch – The best Robert Eggers horror movie of 2016 about religious repression and secular liberation. I could expound, but it all boils down very simply to this.
