Want to join in? Tag your Friday Favourites post, you guessed it, Friday Favourites!

Comment your thoughts below please!

Nails!!!

So, I got a nail art kit with pens and here are the results.

(by the way, I've done loads more but 1. doing your own nails in detail is quite hard and 2. I'm still experimenting so a lot of polish remover is being used by me right now!!!)

Union Jack

Not the best as I did them quickly and it was also the first time I'd tried them.

Hello Kitty (Kitty, Kitty!!!)

I'm not actually wearing this right now, one of the first designs I tried. It's OK I guess.

Zips

Love the zips!

Paw Prints

(sorry about the bad picture. I had to use my webcam for it and I'm on my laptop so it's really hard!)

These seem to be everyone's favourite, they're probably the easiest to do because I can do it on any size nails and they can be any size too.

Elmo

I love Elmo!
(sorry about this bad pic as well)

Converse

I absolutely LOVE the Converse nails. You can mix and match the colours around in any way and they look really cool too.


Thank you for looking, I'll post any more I do.

Comment your favourites and any designs you'd like me to try.
Bye!!!!!

Poll Story as voted for by all of you out there!

To see the full story of my poll story go here.

Basically, you voted what your story was, and I've used the results to create a story.

I create the title with what I think looks good.

Ties were decided with the site here using the generator here.

And the final product is:

The evil sorcerer who loved.

Once upon a time there was an evil sorcerer.

One day that evil sorcerer was walking through the woods when it came across a handsome young man.

They fell and love and died on their wedding day because of a beached whale, a hot air balloon and a bottle of shampoo!

Keep checking for the next polls to come up and please vote in them all,

I love being random because it's so SQUIRREL!

The End

Lovely story Em!

Update you soon,

Small Blue Thing Trilogy Review!

Love. Death. Memory. Betrayal.

The Thames holds its secrets

Celebrating the end of exams with best friend Grace, 17 year old Alex rescues a swan caught on a wire in the Thames mud and finds an extraordinary bracelet. Through its disturbing and compelling powers, she finds Callum, a soul locked in a half-life of sadness and mystery following a terrible accident, and his persuasive and sinister sister Catherine. As Alex and Callum grow closer despite the enormous obstacle to their love, the dangers mount until Alex must risk everything to save Grace and Callum must risk everything to save Alex.

Wow. This book is just. Wow.

I read this book after seeing a lot of other people seemed to be reading (and loving) it. And I fall into that category. I bought it on my Kindle and I bought the next one as soon as I'd finished because I couldn't wait to see what happened. The characters are all really strong and I actually felt for Alex because of the choices she had to make.

Title: 8/10

Characters: 10/10

Plot: 10/10

Read this book!

Theft. Lies. Love.

Someone wants Alex's life.

Warning: This book is the second book so I might have commented things that will ruin the first book for you.

Still recovering from her earlier brush with death, Alex's source of strength and comfort is Callum, still locked in a sad half-life after drowning in the River Fleet that flows into the Thames. And she needs all the strength and comfort she can get: someone is out to make her life  a misery and someone is out to get the extraordinary bracelet that enables her to communicate with Callum. 

Yet another AMAZING book. All through it I was on the edge of my seat with excitement and, yet again, I bought the next one to carry on reading. When I found out in the last book that Alex had lost her memory, I was so scared and sorry for her but, yay, she's fine! Catherine is one of the strongest characters because she has so many sides and you hardly ever see people like that except in real life which made everything more real and amazing!

Title: 10/10

Characters: 10/10

Plot: 10/10

Make sure you read this too!

Secrets. Courage. Hope. A choice.

Time changes everything.

Alex knows there's a way that she and Callum can be together. Catherine holds the key to unlocking the secret, but she's disappeared. Olivia has answers too, but they're locked deep inside her troubled mind and can't be found. It seems impossible, but Alex can't give up. The question is, how much will she risk to be with the one she loves? Could it be everything?

Well, wow again. It wrapped it the story satisfactorily but I think there could have been an epilogue. The characters all developed really well and they made the story what it is - amazing.

The last chapter was absolutely amazing, although I didn't understand it completely. Again, an epilogue would have helped it a lot, but I guess I'll just have to make up what happened. 

Title: 10/10

Characters: 100/10

Plot: 9.99999/10 

(only the non-epilogue part, would have been a 10 otherwise)

Altogether: 10/10

Oh, I've read Matched by Ally Condie and I'm now on to the sequel - Crossed - because honestly. They are the BEST!

If you don't read this, you are missing out on a LOT!

READ! READ! READ!

Pets are family! Animals are friends!

I have 3 pets!

Milo

Ripley

Lola

Milo

Milo is a Jack Russell and he's 4 and a half months old!

 What's he looking at?

 He won't wear this even though it's sooo cute!

'Please?'

Ripley

Ripley is a British Blue Cross and she's 1 year old on 16th August!

 She's very sleepy.

 Shocked!

 I love this picture! I even had it on my birthday card!

See!

 That's through the window!

 Don't be sad!

She thinks she's an egg!

Which is the odd one out? I wonder.

Lola

Lola is a Boxerdor Retriever and she's 3 until 9th November when she's 4! (obviously)

She takes the Jubilee very seriously.

Her with Ripley!

Writing her name! 

Full story here.

So those are my pets! 

Do have have any?

Want any?

Used to have any?

Know any?

Now!

I absolutely HATE cruelty to animals!

Towards the end of school we had to do a project on a charity of our choice and I picked the RSPCA!

Some of the stories were horrible. I don't know how people can just abandon their pets, or neglect them.

I don't know how people can be so cruel and anyone who hurts anyone or anything should be punished.

If you go to http://www.rspca.org.uk/home then you can see the horrible stories for yourself and they really are horrible. But the people who work for the RSPCA are so kind and they are truly good people considering they're all volunteers.

I want to do that because I LOVE animals but I couldn't be a vet.
Yes this is disorganized but you get the drift?

What about you?
