My Favorite cutepolish Videos!
"cutepolish" is my favorite nail artist on YouTube. Here are the links to my favorite designs.
I love how short and easy all of her designs are! I love how they dont need to be certain colors. The prom nails would look great with green or red! Some things like the Stormtrooper and Moustache cant easily be different colors, but the cupcake and plaid can be different colors for different holidays or moods.

Accomplished Item # 30-34 (+3)
This is the first time I am doing an Accomplished Item with followers so I will give you a few links! Here is the list of books I got from a friend. This is the list of movies I got from a friend! Have you read any of the books on the list?
30. Pirates! by Celia Rees-This book was really good! I loved the ending because it isn't a fairy tale ending but it is suspenseful and sweet! It was pretty long with 47 chapters and 379 pages. It has a little glossary in the back and was surprisingly easy to follow! I really recommend this fictional "biography" of a female pirate! 10/10
31. The Two Princesses of Bamarre by Gail Carson Levine-A lovely story that is easy to read and fast paced. I finished it in a couple days because I wanted to know what happened! I loved Levine's book Ever, and I cant wait to read The Wish. The two sisters are complete opposites and the ending isn't as perfect as some fairy tales! 10/10
32. Just Listen by Sarah Dessen-This was really good! I don't recommend it for girls under 13-14 because of some content and language but it wasn't worse that any other books by Sarah Dessen. It is about 375 pages (give or take a few) and in a rank of the 4 Sarah Dessen books I have read, it is tied for 2nd place. But if I had to choose it would be 3rd probably (BTW, I will rank all the Sarah Dessen books when I have read them all with one in each place!). The story is set during the school year instead of the Summer like most books by Dessen. It was good character development and the story was so real and compelling! 9/10
33. The Loney Hearts Club by Elizabeth Eulberg- This is one of my favorite books! I think that every girl, ever being in a relationship or not, should read this book! It is about a girl who has sworn off boys for the rest of High School and when others join, things get a little out of hand. Go on an adventure with Penny Lane Bloom and her friends. Tip: Listen to some Beatles music before reading. 10/10
34. Just Ella and Palace of Mirrors by Margaret Peterson Haddix- If you do not have trouble reading books, then get both at the same time. It took me under 24 hours to complete Just Ella and a few days to complete the second one. The stories are so wonderful and unique. If you do have trouble reading or getting interested this is perfect! It is very easy to read, but is still exciting! 10/10
Other Books:
* Bunheads by Sophie Flack
* Dancergirl by Carol M. Tanzman
* The Extraordinary Secrets of April, May and June by Robin Benway

Hair Health 101
Hey everyone! Before I get started, I want to shout out to two people on blogger who wished me a Happy Birthday: Musings of Athena and Show Your True Colors Thanks guys! I thought that I could do different sections: treatments, shampooing, styling, random. So lets start!
EVERYDAY:
~Using a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner will be the best thing to reduce frizz.
~An anti-breakage cream will do more than just that. It can make your freshly styled hair look very polished and finished.
TREATMENTS:
~1 Tablespoon of coconut oil that is melted, and put in to damp hair, makes a wonderful healing treatment. You dont need a lot if you hve short hair. Rub it on your scalp all the way to the ends. Leave it on for 2 hours and shampoo. I dont use conditioner either.
~A mixture of an egg yolk, plain yogurt, and coconut oil applied to the hair for an hour or hour and a half, will be a really moisturizing mask that will make your hair healthy and glossy.
STYLING:
~Always Use a Heat Protectant!!! Even for blow drying! I use Garnier Fructis Flat Iron Protectant. it is $3.50 @ Walmart and smells amazing. Please use something like this. Everytime I blowdry without, my hair feels brittle and sad. . .
~When using a new styling tool, always try the lowest hat setting and go up until you get the perfect style! less heat = happy hair!
RANDOM:
~Dont use rubberband or things that could tear your hair out to put it up. If you need to, cut them out, not pull.
~Try to wash your combs and brushes to wash off any product and dirt and nasty stuff on them for cleaner hair! Just fill a bowl with warm water and facial soap and rinse for a few seconds.
I hope enjoyed! Love you guys! <3

14th Birthday!
Hey guys! This birthday was very hectic! It took me this long to make a post about it! I was able to go to Ulta to get the Dark Shadows Palette from Nyx, but the quality was really bad so I didn't. So I purchased with my birthday money, a different $25 palette, Nude on Nude by Nyx. I am so excited to use this and show you guys looks to use...Tell me, videos or pictures? If I do videos I can post them on YouTube, but pictures are easier to put up...Tell me! Then afterwards, I went to JCPenny's to get a swim suit. The color is a vivid, teal that takes up most of my room (and my nails). It is a halter top with tulle or ruffly stuff on the straps and a gold ring connecting them in the front. Then I got some solid black girl-swim-trunks.
My sweet adorable wonderful little brother got me the E.L.F. 100 Eyeshadow palette which I cant wait to tell you guys about! I will probably bring it to my friends house on the other side of the universe (JK, she's just across the country but it may as well be across the universe. But she got me a Forever 21 gift card! I LOVE HER SO MUCHHHHH!!!!!!!!! (To Robin: I miss you buddy!). Then My brother went to Bath and Body Works and got me 3 things from the "Buy 3 Travel Sizes for $10" section. The fragrances I chose were Dark Kiss, Paris Amour, and Pink Chiffon. They smell so delightful (: and I was gonna get them anyway. (:
My grandparents got me a check for $40 so I bought a straightener at Walmart (InfinitiPRO by Conair) And for a heat protectant, I got Garnier Fructis Flat Iron Heat Protectant at Walmart.
We went swimming and saw the movie Pirates! Band of Misfits. It was really funny! And I hope you guys have a wonderful week and tell me what to write about!
