Little Miss Know-It-All: Advice Column








Dear Little Miss Know-It-All,
Me and a close friend have been a bit pissed with each other. She's been ignoring me and I've been ignoring her. I don't know what I did, but she gives me the cold shoulder.  When I try to talk to her, she would say whatever or okay. We tell each other everything.
My other friends have noticed it too. They tell me not to worry. But I am, if she was angry at something, she would tell me. We haven't had a proper conversation in over 2 weeks. What should I do?
-The Worrier

Dear The Worrier,
Friends fall out with each other all the time. It's completely normal. Maybe she's having a personal problem, maybe she's mad at someone else. Eeither way she's not acting like her usual self. Instead of ignoring her like she does to you, talk to her face to face. Understand the situtation and listen. If she won't tell you, give her the space she needs. Deep thinking is probably is all she's doing. When she finally open ups to you, listen and be reasonable. Communication is probably all you need. 
Good Luck!

Gift Guide 2013: Girls




Hi,
Christmas is near which means you gotta start xmas shopping and swipping them credit cards but never leave it to the last minute!

Don't know what to buy your friend, girlfriend, sister, daughter, mom, aunt, granny or niece? It's okay, don't panic. It can be hard finding the perfect gift sometimes.
Ask them what they would like for you to buy them. It's alright if they answer back with nothing or something vague because I'm gonna help you.

We'll start with kids and make our way up the age chart.

Little girls (aged 2 to 10):
Kids at that age don't have an interset in money or clothes so stick to the toys department while shopping. 
Barbies are the best dolls you can get. Over 50 years old but still the number 1 doll.
I noticed that girls at this age are curious about makeup probably because they see other people puting it on. A beginners make up kit will make them happy, lelli kelly shoes always come with make up kits so that might be a good idea.
Another idea would be jewllery, come on no matter what age you are, diamonds will always be your best friend.

Preteens(10-12) & teens (13-19) & young adults(20-25):
Clothes is a simple one but you must know their taste in clothing and size.
Makeup
Nail polish
Their favourite movie or album.
Video games...yes girls DO play video games
Paintings to hang. If they're into art, it would be a nice gift.
If you know any of their hobbies try getting something similar to what hobbie they like.
photo collage, who doesn't like meomories from the past all together.
Money or gift cards, you can never go wrong there.

Adults(26 and over):
Cute mugs
Books
home decor
gift cards
voulchers for a relaxing day out like to the spa, waterpark etc.

Seniors:
Pictures of when she was younger, thinking back to the good times.
Knitwear
okay I'm sorry but I never really shopped for seniors before considering my grandparents don't live here so I wouldn't know.

I hope that helped but it all reality the best gift is a gift with meaning, if you know something is meaningful to her, buy her some thing that will make her smile and think "I remember that time told him/her that, I can't belived they remebered". It's way more special than some random thing you bought cause it was "pretty".

A DIY gift is adorable aswell if you don't screw it up. If you're like me and you make polymer clay charms you could make them and give them away as xmas presents.

Bye Bye.

Everyday Makeup Tutorial-Laura



Hey guys!
Today ill be talking through my favourite makeup products to use everyday:) I wear makeup almost everyday unless i don't have time/i'm lazy or i'm not doing anything that day:D

Products- 
Garnier bb cream
Garnier under eye concealer
Mac- betty blush in 'cream soda'
Essence eyebrow pencil in 'blonde'
No7 eyeshadow in 'antique rose'
Maybelline great lash mascara in 'very black'
Benefit lipgloss in 'freshly squezzed'

Reasons- 
I love the bb cream because its really light and evens out the skin tone same with the conceler. The blush is a really pinky colour, its really natural and blends out easily. Im obsessed with the essence eyebrow pencil because its easy to apply and only takes me about 3 minutes. I apply the no7 concealer all over my lid, its a really simmer pinky colour, i dont know if this is weird but i apply the blush on the outer colour and blend, its a really pretty nuetral eye look for school. The maybelline mascara makes my lashes look so voloumised and long! Just apply a few coats for a everyday look and more coats for a night look, and lastly i apply a bit of lipgloss to add a bit of colour to my lips!

And thats it hope you guys enjoyed and leave a comment down below!

The Fault in Our Stars -Book Review






Hello fellow bookworms! Bianca here with a book review. This is our first review on the blog and I'm in love with the plotline and the author.

"Despite the tumor-shrinking medical miracle that has bought her a few years, Hazel has never been anything but terminal, her final chapter inscribed upon diagnosis. But when a gorgeous plot twist named Augustus Waters suddenly appears at Cancer Kid Support Group, Hazel's story is about to be completely rewritten." -Back of the book.

Basic plot line
The story starts with Hazel Grace, a 16-year old girl suffering from thyroid cancer stage 4. 
In her Children Support Group, she meets Agustus Waters, an 17-year old amputee. 

My Thoughts: 4/5
I love the storyline and the characters! You can't help, but fall in love with Agustus with his metaphors and romantic gestures. Hazel is a stubborn but honest person who slowly falls in love with Agustus. These two make such a cute couple. This book makes you think about death and how precious life is, a real moral.
I honestly laughed, then I cried and when I was finished I read the whole story again! I wished John Green would make a sequel. This book makes me take an interest in his other books, because if they're as good as The Fault in Our Stars, then count me in!

Would I recommend: Definitely

Who would I recommend: anyone 12+, I think that because those who are a little older would understand the whole story.

Thats all from me. Bye.

The Heirs - KDrama review

Hello drama lovers!
So today i'm gonna tell you a bit about the drama that has me fangirling everytime I think of the name or the characters in it.

 
Characters:
Lee Min Ho as Kim Tan
Park Shin Hye as Cha Eun sang
Kim Woo Bin as Choi Young do
Kang Min Hyuk as Yoon Chan young
Krystal Jung as Lee Bo na
Kim Ji Won as Rachel Yoo
Choi Jin Hyuk as Kim Won
Kang Ha Nael as Lee Hyo shin
Park Hyung Sik as Jo Myung-soo


Lee Min ho and Park Shin Hye >.< SHIP SHIP SHIP


bewfaehbrnavdierbavbfurggritebijkoyn.......okay fangirling session over...for now. See what I mean, only by their names 0.O


It's a about  Cha Eun Sang who comes from a poor family. (why I'm not surprised) She has a mute mum who works as a maid in Jeguk Group's house.
Cha Eun Sang goes to America where she gets into trouble and meets the sexy Kim Tan. She has no place to go so obviously Kim Tan being the sweet sexy beast he is lets her stay in his house with him. Slowly Kim Tan establishes feelings for her but as soon as he does, Cha Eun Sang leaves to go back to Korea with her childhood best friend Yoon Chan Young.
Kim Tan goes back to Korea. While he is there he finds out that the girl thats making him mad in love is living in his house. Turns out that Cha Eun Sang is the daughter of the maid who works there. The perfect chance to make someone fall in love with you right? Living together under the same roof brings people closer but if anyone sees them together it's troble for the both of them espacially since Kim Tan is in an arranged marriage with Rachel Woo, yes we have a bitch in this drama too but on the bright side we have Choi Young Do to complete the love triangle.
He's in love with Cha Eun Sang and Rachel Woo is his future step sister. He may be cold hearted but I can't help but still love his character.
At least Kim Tan and Cha Eun Sang are able to see each other at school. Kinda hard tho when you're the new girl and suddenly you're known to be in a relationship with the son of the chairwomen of the school.......or is he?
Kim Tan has ; A half brother Kim woo which he loves but isn't loved back. Kim Woo's mother is died, A step mother and his bilologicly mother who is refeared to as a mistress. He hates being called "son of a mistress" the only person who knew this about him is his ex-best friend Choi Young Do who is now his love rival.
Every character posses a problem or a secret. No one is a friend just connections.



Okay so it may seem like EVERY other kdrama out there but there's something about it that makes it a bit more special then other dramas. *cough*six hots guys*cough* sorry I've got a bit of a cold.

No, really it's amazing if anyone's interested it's out every Wednesday and Thursday.
The acting is wonderful along with the plot and the characters history with each other. BTW everyone in this drama is connected to each other in family/childhood friends type of way.


The Heirs FIGHTING!!!!

See you all next time
Zahra >.<
