Fun Summer-y Polka Dot Nails

Lately I've been into doing nails and try out different nail design so this is what i came up with late one night while watching a Jays game on the t.v and playing checkers with my siblings.
The pictures don't really do this design justice because in reality the colours and the fun design stand out and look very funky and fun for summer!!
What i did was basically was I put a base coat and a neutral colour but you can also do white - whatever your heart desires.
Then i took different colours such as blues, pinks and a yellow and dotted them on my nails.
You can do a patterns or start big and as you go up the nail the dots are smaller to create dimension with the nail.
Have fun trying this design!! :)

Homemade New York Fries

Yesterday my friends came over and since we were both bored and hungry we decided to make something that both of us have been craving for a while. We both like to try out and experiment in the kitchen plus our parents what us to learn how to cook its kinda mandatory lol. When were both hungry as hell or super bored that's when the best food is made. So outta the blue we made our homemade version of "Veggie Works" at home. Tell me what you think of our recreation.

We started by cutting potatoes and you can either bake them or fry them. Then after it was done we simply added melted cheese on top with sour cream, tomatoes and green onions (chives).
And there'syour homemade "Veggie Works!"

GO JAYS GO!!

Yesterday I went to my very first Jays game which was long over due. I think I went on the best day possible the sun was out the birds were whistling and the Jays were demolishing the Rays!!
Over the span of 3 1/2 hours there were 8 JAYS HOME RUNS which lead to a 17-11 blow out. It was nothing short of what I imagined it would be like = from the beer, crazy fans, baseballs, booing, cheers and pure excitinment and enjoyment.
The best part of the game was not only seeing my favourite player Aaron Hill but seeing the future of the Jays in J.P Arencibia (btw he is soo cute). At his first at bat and the first ball he saw, he licked it outta the park for a home run and that was only when the excitiment started.
I had an amazing time watching the game live instead of on the T.V like usual ... now if only I could catch one of those balls! :)
I plan to now go to one every year for the fun of it and who thought the Jays would kick the 2nd best teams butt in the MLB!

Nail Designs!


I really don't know what to called this but I saw this beautiful design on the internet and nails salons and had to try it out for myself.
It was very easy to do, its quick and simple and I will explain how.
  1. Starting with a base coat (helps you get your nail polish off easier and doesn't change nail's colour)
  2. Paint the entire nail in whatever colour you like I used a Green
  3. With a steady hand cover half of your nail with a nothing colour I used Blue. Go across the nail in a diagonal line.
  4. Lastly you can either leave the nail the way it is or you can put polka dots along the line to add more of a cuter look.

Book Review: The Comeback

The Comeback by Marlene Perez

Sophie Donnelly is one half of the most popular and powerful couple in school, until new girl Angie Vogel shows up and compromises everything. Angie steals Sophie's starring role in the school play, and, worse, her super-popular boyfriend. Sophie has been quickly dispatched to social Siberia, but not for long--she'll do anything it takes to make a triumphant comeback.

The Comeback is your basic teenage book about rumors, breaksups, love, backstabbing , revenge and friendship. It surrounds Sophie Donnelly who si our average junior highschool student, whi is also the most popular girl in school along side her boyfriend Conner. Then things change when a new girl named Angie Vogel enters the picture and not onlly takes her boyfrined but her popularity as well. Now she must fingure out how to get back to the top of the standings and take down Angie. Through her quest to take back her popularity she turns the whole school againest her and even her bestfriend Monet Lucero. She beomes even more out raged when Angie gets the lead part in the play and she doesn’t now she has to win no matter what! Through practising for the play she starts to develop feelings for MONETS BROTHER . She soon realises that maybe she is over Conner and is ready to move on, only her pride ws hurt during the breakup.


I liked the book, I found it and easy read but it was TOO preditable. It was like every single typical teen book and movie. I give this book a 1.5/5. There is a lot of drama in this book. There are 196 pages.

SIMPLE update!

Lately i have been all over the place or busy. Recently summer school has finished and i have been studing for it - it payed off cause I got a 100 on my exam and finished with a 92% in the class. So overall a pretty good summer school experiance ( i also met a bunch of cool people). I also have been reading a lot lately and looking for good books for the summer and the beginning of school (I like to read quite a bit). IF you have any suggestions please send them my way!!
And lastly I have been preparing and getting clothes etc, ready for a wedding that me and my family are attending. Which was this July 31st, boy was it ever long - the wedding alone was 4 hours and that was just the ceremony. It was sooo long that the reception was the very next day. Good thing it was a long weekend!
Yes now that all of that is over I can relax and START WORKING!
Yup there's no sleeping in the summer for me :P AHHH well
How has your summer been so far?
