Beneath the Glitter

Sometimes being famous, or well known isn't all that it seems.  It's hard climbing up the ladder of fame.  In magazines it looks like they have the easiest lives, but underneath it all what is really the matter? Sophia and Ava London are sisters who became very popular on YouTube and are starting their very own make-up campaign. Sophia begins to be caught up between two boys, and Ava begins falling for her long time celebrity crush.  The two sisters aren't as close as they used to be, what can cause them to fall back into who they used to be?  What's more important?  Your sister's love, your campaign, or finding your true love? Only now they've been arrested for a crime they didn't commit. This book by Blair and Elle Fowler is very well written by the two sisters.  Telling a story about how fame and love can tear you apart.  Basically this book is really good and I feel that I need the second book!  I hope the next book is ass good as the fi...

Smile!

The best fashion tip anyone can give you is to wear a smile! It shows you as a happy person even if you aren't.  Everyone loves a toothy grin.  It doesn't just look good in your Instagram photos, or on runway models, or on that super cute guy from school you keep seeing around town.  They are everyone's best accessory. Best part?  They are totally free! Smiles always look good when you are taking a picture, one where you look back and have a good laugh. Because everyone is smiling and they look like they are all having a great time. This causes you to have a positive thought back on the moment. Are you insecure about your teeth?  Do you think that they are crooked, yellow, or that you have a massive gap?  Well if that's the problem then I have some small tips for that! Yellow Teeth: Everyone has this problem, except my mom I swear she has perfect teeth!  I asked my mom what she does, and all she said was use whiteners, use whitening to...

Marked

What if in our day to day world there were teenagers who became vampyres.  This was known because you would get a cold, and someone would tell you that you're marked. Zoey is what most people would call a normal teenager.  Dating a football player, has a gorgeous best friend, who is a little ditzy, and seems to have the "perfect" family. But one day when she least expected it the Marker at her school, Marked Zoey.  Now Zoey is invited to the House Of Night for her vampyre gift.   Only when she arrives something unusual is happening and it's up to her to figure out how to stop it. I swear that was the shortest summary I have ever given... Oh well, um I didn't really like Marked by P.C. Cast and Kristin Cast.  I am not the biggest fan of Vampires.  Blood sucking, and romance really isn't my thing... Rate: 5/10 Comment: "Hot empowerment story, however it could use a better plot."

How to get cheap affordable clothing

There is these great stores called thrift shops (I'm gonna pop some tags only got 20 dollars in my pocket..).  These stores sell great brands (that have been used), and they all are really affordable.  If you are not into the big brands, like me, then you can find the odd ball thing here and there.  You don't even need to go to the second hand shop, you can go to Wal-mart, Giant Tiger, or even some cheap store.  You might not big a fan because no one else wears it, but you can be surprisingly stylish if you know what suits and flatters you. Also you can buy some cheap plain tee shirts and go to Staples and buy iron on paper and print some logos.  Then later on print them off and iron them on. You can cut up old sweater and make a hat, or even leg warmers.  Possibly even mittens now that I think about it.. There are neat tricks you do with things from anywhere, and whoever said you needed to spend a lot of money? Like my fashion tips and advise? ...

Dark Visions series ~ The Strange Power | The Possessed | The Passion ~ by L. J. Smith

What if in our world there were people who possessed special powers?  Like seeing the future; the power to heal; to be able to talk to animals; the power to control numbers and technology; or to be able to control, and consume someone's subconscious to the point were they died.  Now this would be cool to obtain, but what if the people who wanted you were using it for evil, instead of the good it could be used for? Kaitlyn or Kait is one of the gifted psychic.  She can see the future, and she is known as the witch at her school, because of her eyes and her "creepy" power. One day out of no where she is called down to the principal's office.  Then she is told that she could be involved in a trail at Zetes Institute where she could start over, and meet people with abilities like hers. Only now she is torn between two guys, Rob and Gabriel. Rob is the good guy, and Gabriel is the bad boy of the group and is madly in love with Kait. With Gabriel's power he accidentl...

Are You Wearing the Right Necklace with the Right Neckline?

Personally I'm not a big necklace fan, because nothing seems to look right one me.. Now that I found these amazing cheat sheets for necklaces I found it to be a little easier. As I was reading up on all these cheat sheets and articles about the necklace technique I learned that you can wear statement necklaces with a lot of things.   If you are wearing something kind of plan, like a plain tee shirt and jeans you can add a statement necklace over top.  That you shouldn't be afraid of wearing a bold colour, it adds a little something to the plainness. These are some really interesting things I feel every girl should know. To read up more about this technique here are a couple of the websites I used to study up on this post!    http://www.gurl.com/2014/06/21/style-tips-on-how-to-wear-statement-necklaces-outfit-ideas/  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xJSxi8donzA   Trying to keep things short and sweet just like me!

Fashion Tip Friday Is Back!

Alright, I gave up on doing Fashion Tip Friday.  Actually the truth is I became very busy with school.  Now it's summer and I have nothing better to do.  So here is my first Fashion Tip Friday in months! What is too much skin? Bust There is such thing as too much skin and just the right amount.  Now if you're my mom or my grandma you have a problem with short shorts, and crop tops.  Which I know is very wrong to say, but some people where things better then others.  Don't get me wrong everyone is beautiful in every shape, and size but there are better clothing to wear to embrace your figure, and it'll flatter you very well.   Now some v-neck tops show a little TOO much in the bust.  Examples: Now pay attention to the bust. Taylor Swift at the Billboard Awards Kim Kardashian VMA's Demi Lovato at the VMA's Now these three women look stunning, however if you were to wear this out for something that didn't involve too much ski...

Snitch

In some schools drugs are sold, gangs are common, and love is very over powering.  At South Bay High School there are 2 main gangs; the Crisps, and the Bloods.  Some girls no what they want and how they plan on getting it.  Julia DiVino knows what she wants and who she wants to be.  She doesn't want anything to do the gangs.  That of course is until she meets the dashing Eric Valentine. Who doesn't want a handsome trouble maker in their life?  He makes you blush, and gets you doing things you would have never done before?  Best part he only likes you?!? What girl wouldn't fall for him? Eric is trying to join a gang at school, and when he makes it in after taking a bit of a beating, Julia feels that she needs to do the same to have him love her. Joining a gang is work.  It's hard and complicated.  Once you're in, it's hard to get back out. Alison van Diepen is a great author.  I love her books, well at least the few that I've read. T...
