First week of 9th grade

Hey guys! I know in the last post I told you I would write about my 2nd day, but I didn't because after the 2nd (and 3rd) day I was exausted and needed to relax.

 The first class I had to attend was Math and............ I got lost, I then went to see a supervisor, she told me where to go and it was all fine. My other classes were okay. Yesterday, I got lost again and I did the same thing as the day before. If you ever get lost don't be afraid to ask somebody for help, because that is the easiest way to find your way out of the problem.

 I like the first pavilion a lot more than this one because it was easier in finding yourself, but I can't do anything, I just need to adjust myself.

 My teachers are awesome except the one in History and another problem is that I don't like the subject we will be doing this year, so I may need to make a little bit of effort to have higher grades in that subject.

 I think that is all I have to say!

Have a wonderful day!

My first day of 9th grade

Hey guys! So today I started 9th grade and I changed pavilions. So basically, my secondary school has two pavilions(buildings), one for 7th and 8th grade and another for 9th,10th and 11th, and this year I have to go to the second one. The school is HUGE!!! This morning, I told myself not to stress out, because everything will be absolutely fine and there is certainly a logic to all of the locations of the classes and other important things like the cafeteria,locker, etc. There is a logic, but the school has 8 wings!!! If you don't know what a wing(not a chicken wing) is, it's basically a corridor and when you turn left or right another wing starts. The school has 3 floors which isn't that bad, but 8 wings!!!!! At my first secondary pavilion, we only had 3 wings and 4 floors and it was easier to locate yourself in the building. So little me is lost in a huge school!!!

The students that are in my class are ok, I guess. There is just this group of guys that don't know nothing about the word respect, wether it's with the teachers, the students or the objects around them.

We didn't do any work today. We just visited, took a school picture and my french teacher talked to the class with our principal. But tomorrow, we start our classes. It's not so bad ,because my first classes are all next to each other, but the last one is really far away from the others and I might get lost, but at least I made a couple of friends in my class with who I can get lost with. I didn't mention that not even one of my close friends are in my class.

 I can't wait to know were all of my classes are, so I don't have the fear of getting lost , it will happen sooner or later. Wish me luck and if you are in the same situation as me, I wish you the bet of luck. I will probably write about my 2nd day at school tomorrow.

How was your first day of school?

Back2School Tag

Hey guys! I am starting school tomorrow and I decided to do the Back2School Tag. So here it is!

1.What grade are you into?

I am in 9th grade!

2.What are you excited and/or nervous for?

I can't wait to go back into my normal routine and to see my friends every day. I am also excited to start Spanish classes and continue my art classes, but I am nervous because I am changing school pavilions and I am afraid to get lost.

3. What's your favourite part of getting back to school?

I love shopping for all of the supplies, because I love stationary!

4.When do you go back to school?

Tomorrow.

5.What grade were you in when you started wearing makeup to school?

It was last year, so 8th grade. I don't wear a lot of makeup. I started with mascara and some foundation (only on my blemishes and spots). I am still only wearing these 2 products, because I feel like I am still to young to put the whole chabang on my face.

6. From where or whom do you get inspirations for back to school styles?

No need to get inspiration, because I have a uniform.

7. What are your upcoming back to school trends?

...

8. Where do you like to go shopping for back to school supplies?

Staples

9. What are your favourite stores to go back to school shopping?

...

10. Will you be carrying a backpack or a purse? Which one do you prefer?

Honestly, I have never carried a purse at school, because I feel like it's not the most comfortable and big enough. So I have a backpack!

11. What are three non-beauty essentials you carry in your backpack or purse?

A book, hair ties and my phone.

12. What are three beauty essentials you carry in your backpack or purse?

A chapstick and that is it.

13.What is your go to hair product and hairstyle?

I am pretty boring, but I usually tie my hair in a ponytail. No hair product for me!

14. What are your go to makeup products and go to makeup look?

I keep it simple with my Rimmel London Lasting finish foundation (only on my blemishes and spots) and my Voluminous Million lashes waterproof mascara.

15. What are your go to clothing items? Accessories?

One word, uniform. But for accessories I have my little simple black watch and some simple earings.



I am sorry that my answers in this tag are really dull (blame the uniform). I actually don't mind wearing a uniform, because every morning I have a small selection pf clothes to choose from and back to school shopping is 10 times easier to do.

Have a wonderful day!

New Hershel Backpack

Hey guys! I am starting school on August the 30th and my old backpack wasn't in the best shape so I had to buy a new one. So this is my new backpack.

It almost looks the same as my old one, but it is another brand and it feels like better quality. I also have a one year warranty which is pretty good.

I needed a laptop compartment and my 13 inch laptop fits perfectly in it and it is actually made for a 15 inch laptop.

I can't fully review this backpack, because I haven't properly used it. I will probably make a review near the end of the school year.

What backpack do you have this year?

Have a lovely day!

Dysfunctional Backpack :(

Hey Guys! Last year, I wrote about my new backpack (here) and I said that I loved that backpack. A year has gone by and it is ruined, well actually it was ruined a couple of months ago but I did some changes to it so I would finish my school year with it. Here are some pictures.

In this picture it looks just fine, but...

Instead of this improvised lace chord, there was a fake leather one that go ruined, because of the metal rings that kept rubbing the chord every time I opened and closed the backpack.

 As you can probably see the two metal thing are different sizes, that's because one of them fell off and I had to replace it.

You can see in this picture that the fake leather is a really poor quality.

This backpack wasn't cheap, it was 49,98 CA$. Usually Reebok has a kind of good quality but for this backpack I'm quite disappointed.  In my next post, I will talk about my new school backpack!

Have a lovely day!

Suicide Squad - Movie Review

Hey guys! I went to see Suicide Squad a couple of days ago and wanted to write a review about this movie.

I couldn't wait to see this DC movie, but I was afraid to be disappointed after I have read some pretty bad reviews about it. I understand the fact that villains are villains and the film could have been more interesting if they did bad things instead of saving the world, I still enjoyed the movie, because we were able to see some characters that never made it into a movie.

The film had lots of funny moments and action, maybe some people didn't like the storyline but my thoughts are that it was okay. I really hope that they will do another movie with these characters played by the same actors.

I actually can't wait for Wonder Woman to come out because she is actually one of my favorite superheroes in the DC universe. Oh! And the movie Justice League looks awesome too!

Have you seen suicide squad? If yes,  did you enjoy the movie?

Have a wonderful day!

Dresslily Wishlist

Hey guys! I was reading some blogs and saw a Dresslily wishlist on Walking Freckle's blog (Here) and I went to have a look on their site. I stumbled on these clothing items and wanted to do a wishlist on my own. So here it is!

1- High-Waisted denim skirt (Link)

2- Stitch Sweatshirt (Link)

3- Black and White Shirt (Link)

4- Black Overalls (Link)

5- Black boots (Link)

6- Black Crossbody Bag with cat ears and crescent moon (Link)

I found this site where you can give reviews of other sites. A lot of the reviews where telling that they weren't happy with it and Dresslily responded that they would help. I feel like when the website helps you to have a full satisfaction of their clothes it's because you can trust them. I didn't order myself from their site, but I might in the futur when I will need clothes. But before you order any clothes make sure that you mesure yourself and check out the size chart, because some countries don't have the same size as other countries.

Would you like anything from dresslily?

Do you know any good website for clothing?

Have a wonderful day!

Girl Online - Book Review

Hey guys! I have just finished reading girl online (the first book) and I decided to do a review (spoiler free). I know I am very late with the trend but I don't really mind.

At first I didn't know if I would like the book because I usually read fantasy books and I'm gonna be real, the first chapters were boring, but this usually happens in every single book, because the author has to put the character in a setting. I started getting into the book after what happened on stage *wink*. After that the book was a page turner. (I finished it in 3 days)


The book was well written and I liked how the text messages were written. The whole story was original and interesting.

My favorite character was probably Elliot, because he is always there for Penny and he knows what to say in any kind of situation. 

To cut a long story short, I give this book a 4 out of 5(keeping the 5 for the best book written in history) I will probably read the 2nd book sometime soon.


Have you finished a book lately? If yes, which one? Do you recommend it? 
I would like to know in the comments below.


Have a wonderful day!

Me,my thoughts and google

I was watching some youtube videos and a video dragged my attention in my recommendations titled: 10 famous people with horrible personal hygiene, by curiosity I clicked on it. Some of the celebrities where not showering because they wanted to be natural which doesn't sound really good to my nose but I don't judge these people because they are saving water for other people. After watching that video I jumped straight in the shower and I thought to myself what did Gandhi do? Did he shower? Did he bathe in a natural lake? You are maybe thinking why Gandhi and I say, Well because he was one of the most natural living people on earth. Wikipedia says that he lived in a self-sufficient residential community and ate simple vegetarian food and also took 17 fasts(the longest took 21 days! ). I just googled did Gandhi shower and this is the first thing that I see Did you ridicule Gandhi when he was too busy protesting to shower?  I don't know to who he is referring but it should probably answer my questions. The question was obviously on yahoo and one of the answers was that Gandhi actually bathed regularly in the Ganges River which is located in India so it makes sense because he live in India but hat about the time when he lived in South Africa or in London. Wait a minute Gandhi lived in London! Wow! That's nice! What did he do there? Wikipedia says that he went to study law and jurisprudence and enrolled at the Inner temple with the intention of becoming a barrister.  I wonder if he went to Birmingham palace to meet the queen, but Elizabeth the 2nd wasn't a queen when Gandhi was still alive which is a shame because I could imagine Gandhi having an afternoon tea with the queen. Well, I think I have made this day quite productive if you ask me and if you read this post and learned something you had a productive day too. I hope you like these kinds of posts I am literally writing down what I am thinking while searching some information on google so I can answer all of my questions. If you enjoyed reading this please let me know in the comments.

Have a wonderful day!

Review - St. Ives Green Tea scrub

Hey guys! So I bought this product for about a month now and I have used it twice a day and I wanted to share it with you.  By the way, this is not sponsored and I have bought the product myself. I hope you will like this honest review!

  I bought this scrub because I wanted something to treat my blackheads, so I stumbled across this product and I have decided to give it a try. At first, I thought that it will make my blackheads disappear, but it didn't say anything about it on the packaging, so it doesn't. The first time that I have used it, it made my skin really soft and somehow brighter, which made me look awake. This scrub actually minimized my blackheads, so it is for skin prone blackheads. Maybe this product prevents blackheads, so I need to take them all off before I use the product. But in the meantime I will keep using it, because, as I said, it makes my skin look and feel incredible. In brief, I recommend this product to anybody who wants to give it a try. You can find it on amazon or in a local store. But before using it, read the directions on the product and the results will appear in the 2nd to 3rd week, so be patient.    

The mortal instruments - Book review

Hey guys! I have been wanting to write this article for a long time. So let's start with the rating. I give this series a 9,5 out of 10. Basically I don't want to give it a 10, because I am keeping it for the best book that exists on earth. So this series is the best one that I have read so far. I love how Cassandra Clare (the author) has written the book and how she invented that whole world.. I also like how they are no cliches, they are still werewolves, warlocks and vampires, but she adds stuff that most books don't talk about. They have even made a TV show about this book, but I will talk about this in another post. I also read the Mortal Instruments Origins and I am looking forward to read Lady Midnight as well.  If you have no idea of what the book talks, well it talks about a girl named Clary Fray and on her 18th birthday she founds out this whole new world that she hasn't seen before. They are warlocks,vampires, faeries and even demons. Don't worry about the demons, we don't talk a lot about them. If you wanna know more you have to read it *wink face*. Basically you should give this book a try and tell me what you think about it. By the way, I apologize for this messy text, but I am coming back to blogging and I still need to get used to it. Have a wonderful day.

Movie review - Zootopia

Hey guys! This weekend I went to see Zootopia at the movie theatre. And I loved it, I think it's my favourite Disney movie that I have watched so far. If you haven't heard about this movie, there is this city filled with animals, from the largest elephant to the smallest mice. By the way in this movie there is no such thing as humans. When Judy Hopps becomes the first bunny that is a police officer, she worked so hard to become something that she didn't want to become. She has to prove that she is better than what other animals think.

                                        

My favourite character beside Judy Hopps is probably officer Clawhauser because he is really cute, funny and he looks fluffy. I just love his personality. Have you seen the movie? Did you like it? Who is your favourite character?

Tips for cleaning up your room with a good mood

Everybody knows that feeling when you are entering your room and it is so messy you can't even look at it because there is too much stuff laying around and you need to clean it but you just are too lazy. Well today is your lucky day because I am giving you some great tips to help you tidy up that mess.

Tip #1 - Put some music on 

To put a beautiful smile on your face you should try listening to music while you are cleaning your room. I usually listen to the Today's Happy Pop on Songza (on the site or the app). Sing and dance to the music and it will may it much easier to clean.

Tip #2 - No piles under the bed

If you have dirty clothes, papers or whatever you have don't put them under your bed, because you will one day regret that laziness you had when you were "cleaning" your room and that day is when you will find interesting and ugly creatures in your room. hahahhahahahaha! So put everything were it belongs.

Tip #3 - Throw the stuff you won't need

This tips is similar to the second one. If you have papers, wrappers or anything you won't need in the future, throw it !

Tip #4 - Don't get distracted

If you find anything cool or interesting like a photo album from when you were 6 years old, put it aside for later, because if you start looking at it , you won't let it go and later you will realize that you didn't finish what you started and it's the end of the day.

Tip #5 - Freshen up the room

When you are done with that hard work, light up some candles or open the window(s) in the room. It will make you room smell nice and fresh.

Tip #6 - Keep it clean

This is the last and final tip. Try to keep your room clean, so you won't have to tidy up your room two times a week because it's too messy.

First snow

Hey guys! When I woke up this morning and I looked outside the window there was a beautiful white coat of snow on the ground. It made me feel happy. The first snow is always magical. Even my dog was happy, he was sniffing around the snow. Usually when there is alot more snow, about half a meter he will start eating it. Where I live there is no such thing as having a winter without having 2 meters of snow in your backyard. Anyway, I am really excited because the first snow means that Christmas is just around the corner. I actually wanted to take some pictures of the first snow but I had to go to school and when I got back it was dark outside. :( I will take some pictures when I will have the opportunity.

Have a beautiful day!

Blog update

Hey guys! In this really short post I want to tell you a few things about the blog. 

First things first. I just added a translate gadget, so that more people have the opportunity to read my blog in different languages. And I just wanted to apologize about the fact that I don't write as much as before, but I have a good reason and this reason is school. I will try my best to post but I won't make any promises that I will post weekly, but one thing is for sure I won't stop blogging. I have a few post ideas for the future! 

♥ Have a wonderful day ♥

Red Velvet Cookies

                       

Hey guys! I just tried a new recipe and I love it. I have never made red velvet cookies but they turned out pretty good. So I wanted to share the recipe with you. By the way I took this recipe from a cooking app named Yummly and the woman that shared this recipe on the app is Holly Lofthouse (click here to see her blog). So here is the recipe.

Preparation time: 40 minutes

Cooking time: 8-9 minutes per tray

Servings: On the blog it says 36 servings but I actually had 60. Oups!

Ingredients:

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

2 1/2 tablespoons cocoa powder 

1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch 

3/4 teaspoon baking soda 

1/2 teaspoon salt 

7 tablespoons butter, at room temperature 

6 tablespoons vegetable shortening, at room temperature 

1 1/2 cups granulated sugar 

1 large egg

1 large egg yolk 

1 teaspoon white vinegar 

1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract 

1 tablespoon vanilla extract

3- Slowly add dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Stir in 1/2 cup of white chocolate chips. Scoop dough out by the heaping Tablespoonful, and roll into balls. Place them on a parchment lined baking sheet. Gently press about 4-5 more white chocolate chips into the top of each cookie ball (I didn't do this part because mine were a little bit too small). Being careful not to flatten the cookie balls.

4- Bake cookies for 8-9 minutes. Allow cookies to cool for a few minutes. And enjoy!

Book review - Counting by 7s

Hey guys! I read this amazing book and I wanted to share it with you guys. I read it in french because it's easier for me. So the book is titled Counting by 7's. I really recommend it, because it shows how life is, with all the problems and beautiful things. I give it a 4,5/ 5. Because it's easy to read and it's an amazing story. I gave it a 4,5/5 and not a 5/5 because it's not my favourite book that I read so far. 

http://www.amazon.com/Counting-7s-Holly-Sloan/dp/014242286X

Summary: Williw Chance, a 12 year old girl, has problems to make friends because she doesn't think like everyone and she doesn't do the things that normal people do. But then she needs to go to college! Her life collapses when both her parents die...

What book do you love?

One Direction - On the road again

Hey guys! So I am a big fan of 1D , it's my favourite group! 8 months ago my parents bought a pair of tickets, I was so excited! I couldn't wait to go to the show! The months flew by and a couple of days ago I was singing all the lyrics that I knew with one direction. The show was amazing. At the beginning there was Icona Pop that performed! I didn't know about this group before. The group was so into it. Then 1D came and thats were every single person that came was deaf! Haahahah :D Harry Styles was so funny when he was talking about the 10 things that he loved about Canada, and I am not surprised that he loves poutine (the specialty Canadian fast food) and syrup. Niall had a fractured toe :( Liam  was really funny and Louis was Louis. hahahaha That's what I love about 1D, they are always having fun and are never serious, in other words, they enjoy life as it is. So here are a few pictures.

  What is your favourite singer or group?

3rd Favourite Tuesday

Hey Guys! For this favourite Tuesday I chose an app that I really like! So this app is Quiz up. You have different categories of types of quizzes from your favourite TV show to candy. It has a lot of themes, and when I say a lot it's a lot! You play with somebody else from anywhere in the world. And you have to answer to the question really fast (you have 10 seconds). The faster you answer the most points you get. You can also level up after you reach a certain amount of points. Some people are crazy, they reach level 100 and something. If you are at a really high level you can get classified as the best in your country or even of the whole world in that category.I tried to do my best to explain ^_^  Give it a try and maybe you will get addicted as mush as I am. hahhahaah 

What is your favourite app?
