Book review - Love, Rosie (Where rainbows end)

Well i finished this book about a week ago 'about a week agooo' and it is so so so so good!

I mean i love reading but i'm such a picky reader and i usually go for more adventurous books e.g Hunger Games (which is the best trilogy everrrr!!) or divergent (what i am currently reading). 

But this book is about love with a twist,i honestly could not put it down! I saw the film when it was released in July last year (now available for DVD) before i read this and i thought the film was one of the best movies i've ever seen. I didn't think the book would be that good since i already knew what was going to happen but it was quite different to the movie (in a good way).

Without reveling to much, the plot of the book is about a girl called Rosie and her best friend Alex who has been her best friend since they were 5 and continued to be. 

Both are from a little village in Ireland.

The book is set out in letters and text messages (which sounds confusing but really isn't) and it shows Rosie and Alex sending each other notes in nursery up until there around 50 years old sending letters. It basically lets you see Rosie and Alex's friendship grow as they get older and life gets in the way.

When they are 17 Alex has to move to Boston because his dad gets a job, Rosie plans to to move to Boston to go to there Collage to study Hotel management.

When the last school dance approaches Alex can't make it, so Rosie doesn't have a date,she lowers her standers and goes with Brian 'the whine'.

A few months later she falls pregnant, ruining her plans to move to Boston. 

Of course her and Alex still keep in touch but her life changes drastically.

i think the book is fab, but i do think it would be quite hard to understand if you're under 13 because i'm 13 and only really understood it because i saw the movie. I recommend it soo much though because it makes you see things differently and if you don't really read then at least watch the movie it is AMAZING on so many levels.

self injury awareness day 2015

Hi this isn't something i would usually post (well i don't have a theme or anything so unusual is usual). Well don't be expecting self harming scars or anything like that as i do not self harm and also it may offend others and trigger others.

I just want anyone who feels like shit and unappreciated to know that you are not the only one even though it may feel like that at times.
It may feel like your a fragile piece of glass that someone has been poking and poking until you smash and when you smash you cant get back together.
IT IS NOT YOUR FAULT ONE BIT.
You may have done something in the past you regret,who doesn't,if small minded people judge you on your past then they do not deserve to be in your present, and chances are they have done things in their past that their not proud of.
Maybe you have done nothing to deserve what has happened to you,I know how that feels and it is not your fault,please remember that. If someone is making you feel rubbish,tell someone do not keep it to yourself.
If it's none and you are experiencing an awful anxiety for no reason,again tell someone.
Recently i have/am experiencing this and i told my mum and its helping a lot,i don't think i will tell my friends as sometimes friends (as good as they are) might not understand as well as parents.

If you don't want to tell anyone you know i am always here,you may not know me but i do care and if you ever need me you can always talk and i'll do my best to cheer you up xo

How to survive valentines day alone

Just remember valentines day is just like any other day of the year except its just full of all that cringy jaz like them pointless over sized teddys (not going to lie I would love one) or massive cards bigger than the person receiving it.

Personally i absolutely hate things like valentines day and just public display of affection,I have no idea why i just don't get how sticking someones tongue down someones throat in a public place is love or cute,if that happened to me i'd probably bite their tongue off.

For the last 13 years and 7 and a half months (my whole life) i have survive valentines day (and the other 364 days of the year) alone so i'm going to show you people how to be brave and alone on this tragic day for singles (sarcasm because its not that tragic) 

1st of all write yourself a fake 'anonymous' note of love writing all your positives about yourself and put it in an envelope then open it and you can be like ''omg valentines note woooo'' plus self confidence.

2nd of all if you cant spend your valentines day with one boy spend it with two Ben and Jerry (lmao i really hope at least one person got that joke)

3rd of all just have a lazy day and eat whatever you want watch some of your fave movies and stuff like all i'm doing is watching Breakfast at Tiffany's ,When Harry met Sally and of course Dirty Dancing and eating Nutella

4th of all there isn't really any other tips just do what you wanna do

8 Life hacks (part 2)

Hello ('Hola' if you're Spanish) this is life hacks part 2!!!Most of these are not my ideas they are off Google lmao i'm not that creativeIf you like what i post please feel free to comment love ya xo

1)If you have ran out of shaving foam or don't have any, just use hair conditioner its miles cheaper plus your legs will smell like your hair:)

2)To remove gum from your hair use an ice cube (because no one wants gummy hair) 

3)put a straw through a necklace to keep it from untangling 

4)When your phone is on charge turn it on airplane mode (it charges quicker)

5)Chew gum while studying,it helps stay focused 

6)To make perfume last all day apply Vaseline first then spray perfume 

7)If you get mascara on your eye lids use a flash card (or anything similar) to make sure it doesn't go on eyelids,if you're feeling rebellious and don't do this and get mascara on your eyelids use a cotton bud to remove it (two hacks in one ooooh)

8)If you're really bad at painting nails (which is really hard if your using your left hand, vise versa) put a thin layer of non toxic PVA (or Elmers) glue around your nail and wait for it to dry. Then paint your nail and once the nail varnish is dry peel the glue off so then all the nail varnish around your nail will come off. You can also do this with Vaseline.(photo from St.Ives twitter page)

High school expectations vs Reality

hiiii i have a massive head ache but i felt like bloggin' so....

In my last year of primary all i wanted was to go to high school, because i expected it to mean your officially 'big' but in reality your in year 7 which means you're in the baby year group again,plus you have no idea whats cool and whats not at the start.

HIGH SCHOOL BOYS... You expect high school boys to be all big and like the movies but really...

CANTEEN... In the canteen you expect food fights,sing along and all that jazz but no because everyone has phones

FOOD... Is it just me that expected chocolate fountains and that? (High school was a massive disappointment)

Thank you for reading! Sorry it's only short ill probaly do a part 2,comment if ya'll like it xo

Some boys don't think before they speak

HEEEEEYY, just about boys and how irritating they are..

When i say 'some' I mean about 95% of boys don't taste their words before they spit them out.
Some boys are extremely stupid when it comes to talking respectfully to a girl,
Why is it okay for boys to smack girls arses at 13 years old and get away with it?
I say girls should do something about it,its not okay and to be honest it could probably go down as mild sexual assault,a 13 year old boy touching a girls bum is so inappropriate,imagine what its going to be like in 10 years?
would you like to think your future kids will be speaking to girls like they are nothing but a body?

Some boys don't understand how girls can actually be depressed.
Just today i was arguing with a boy then all of a sudden he brings up someone who self-harms he says something like "she self harms,attention seeker" is this the kind of world we live in?
Self-harming is not attention seeking,have you ever thought that for some people self-harm is a cry for help? They don't need someone calling them an attention seeker,they need someone to help them get support.
Some are just oblivious to girls feelings or maybe not,maybe the boys who bully secretly are insecure either way its not okay and if you feel you are getting bullied,tell a teacher or just someone then maybe that will help the bully stop bullying so they don't do it to anyone else and it will help you!
I'm not saying all boys are like this just some,girls aren't perfect either but that's a different rant (will probs do a post about bitchy girls some time).   

Boys thinking their 10 men...one of the most annoying things ever is when boys think there so 'big' and 'hard' but really they look like lanky 10 year olds at a year 6 school disco with massive hair. At one point in every boys life they have thought their as hard as nails if they answer back to a teacher or poke someone and hide. In year 9 boys still act like this. They think their so great if they have an okay comeback and all their friends go 'OOOOOHH' like omg that its so so cool well done you have finally had a decent comeback,you need a medal!!!!! 

5 Life hacks (part 1)

HIYYYYAAA,just a few life hacks i feel you need to know (most are off random websites because i'm not that creative) plus these are not my photos there off Google images i'm sorry i'm not originalll...

1.paint the top of your keys with nail varnish so they look pretttty (photo from jewelpie.com )

2.To break in flats wear really thick socks (bed socks) then blow dry (with a blow dryer,duh) around were it's really tight around your shoe :)) (photo from www.coffeelightandsweet.com )

3.One of my personal favorites because i think its so funny (idk why),if you have a swing and your looking after your young sibling or child,tie a long rope to the swing then put the child in the swing, walk away holding the rope and swing it. (Really bad at explaining,i know) (photo from www.lifehack.org )

4. The magnetic make up board thing,basically you buy a magnetic board (with magnets,duh) then you put your make up on the magnets(with the sticky stuff) and place the magnets on the magnetic board and everyone will be jel of your make up board thing. (photo from alldaychic.com )

5.Magnetic strip thing!! first you buy a magnet tape from your local shop (if not http://www.amazon.co.uk/  have them just type in 'magnetic tape')Then stick it on your wall of your room,bath room (wherever you want!)Then you get your hair grips,tweezers (anything magnetic) place them on the tape then you wont lose them (as often) (photo from www.popsugar.com )

Why this generation sucks

HOLLAA,little post about what i dislike about this generation;feel free to comment your opinions on this post,means alot xo

ANTI SOCIAL.Well this generation is a social media type generation as many people already know.
The things i hate about this generation is just things like people going on their phones 24/7 like 10 year olds have things like I phones. 
I don't even have an I phone.I mean i'm not saying phones are the worst thing ever,just how often they are used;did you know a full 23 days in a year is spent on your phone? That's 552 hours.I know there might be nothing to talk about but what do you think they did before phones?

BULLYING
Bullying has gotten a lot worst over the past decade. Some bullying is in person and some is cyber,simple things like name calling can ruin someones life. I was bullied for awhile last year (name calling) i'm not going to get into it but the bully thought it was a 'joke' but hurting peoples feelings is not funny.Believe me its not nice no matter how little bulling is whether its name calling,physical or cyber;bullying is bullying.

NON SNAZZY CLOTHING
The clothing of this generation is decent but it's not snazzy its boring.It hasn't even got a theme really its just clothes.Ya'll what I mean like the 80's was flares and disco,the 70's was groovy and hippy. Personally i loved the 60's clothing,all that jazzy stuff like big dresses with polka dots.Best thing everrrr!!

7 simple ways to make your life happier

Ngl i got some of these from Google but they are really goooood

1.TALK TO YOUR FRIENDS ABOUT YOUR ISSUES ,someone who you trust,believe me you'll feel 100x better
2.MUSIC pretty obvious, but upbeat music can be sososo fab when your sad. I recommend- Any Jackson 5 song (because they're insanely happy), Beyonce Love On Top (who doesn't love that song) and The Temptations My girl (its snazzy)
3.DANCING even if you've got two left feet like me, dancing is better than sitting around feeling sad plus it counts as exercise (i think)
4.THINK POSITIVE everyone loves a happy bunny so BE A HAPPY BUNNY
5.TAKE A LOT OF SMILEY PICTURES. taking pictures with your friends if amaze to look back on and fun to take so if you have another bad day you can look back on your smiley pics (two tips for the price of one,woohoo)
6.PLAN AHEAD,invite your pals for a day out or even just a lazy day with your pals PALS=HAPPINESS (i just typed 'pals' too much)

7.START A DIARY,just write about the positives of your day,ignore negativity 

People using the word 'gay' as an insult rant

Hellooo, i still don't know what i am going to post about but i decided i'm good at ranting so i might as well rant about things that annoy me (not all the time just every so often).Right this has irritated me for so long i can not explain how irritating it is.When people use the word gay as an insult.For example if a show on TV is really bad show some people will say "oh my god that show is so gay" excuse me but how is that show a homosexual?I know some people don't understand their doing it but if you call something 'gay' instead of a word like 'rubbish' you are actually being homophobic and if you do i suggest you stop.You're basically replacing rubbish for the word gay. I know not everyone does this but i know some people do and i just want whoever does this to think before they speak, thank you.I am a massive supporter of gay rights, i have posted this to make people understand what they are saying and not all my posts will be rants.THANK YOU FOR READING AND BE HAPPY,I LOVE YOU
