12 Years In A Blog

Hey Guys! My blog is pretty random and I’ve decided to bring in a new random series of posts. Book reviews! I am very passionate about reading and I’d like to share my thoughts on books with other people. So here is my first book review! The book I will be reviewing is ‘Scarlet and Ivy: The Lost Twin.’ By Sophie Cleverly. How did I first find out about this book: My friend had recommended a different book to me so I went into a bookstore to get it. The lady working there told me that they didn’t have it but she recommended a different book for me. She told me it was the first book of a series I might like so I bought it and went home to read it. As soon as I got home I sat down and realised that the lady was completely right before I even read it. How? Just from the blurb I could instantly tell it was a mystery book, my favourite! What is it about: This book is about a girl called Ivy Grey. Ivy lives with her horrid stepmother and her father who both don't really like h

Hey everyone! So it's that special time of year when children ask for candy and they get it! HALLOWEEN! Apart from the awesome candy, one of the best part of halloween is choosing what spooky thing to go as! I always go with kitten and we're always matching. Lately though, it's been hard to find a partner costume that isn't weird and we haven't done before. I've done a lot of research though and found some good ones i'd like to share with you! Here's my top 8 partner costumes for Halloween. Please note these are not in order! 8: Night and Day. This costume isn't spooky but it's a great last minute costume! Have one person go as night dressed in black with a cardboard cut out of a moon in their hand. Have the other friend go as day dressed in light blue with a cardboard cut out of a sun in their hand. It doesn't need to be bought and is a great option for partners. 7: Princess Peach and Princess Daisy. I'm not a huge gaming fan m

Hey everyone! I may not have mentioned this before but I LOVE to cook! In this post I'll share a few of my all time favourite recipes with you! These are yummy, fun to make and are 100% recommend by me! Enjoy! Thai Chicken Salad With Spicy Peanut Sauce: http://www.jsonline.com/story/life/food/recipes/2016/11/06/thai-chopped-chicken-salad-spicy-peanut-dressing/92723870/ I love this recipe SO MUCH! It takes a while to make but it's so worth it! It's healthy but still tastes great, unlike most salads. If you're like me, you'll hate the word "Spicy" infront of anything you're supposed to eat. The great thing about this recipe is that you can alter how spicy the sauce is by adding more or less chilli flakes than what the recipe says! I like to put in 2 or 3 so it's very mild. Highly recommended! Apple Pie: http://www.taste.com.au/recipes/apple-pie/0d52b417-4318-43b6-9974-79f0b0531b48 Recipe for apple pie is simple, quick and delicious! I hav

Hey Everyone! If you're new then hi! Welcome!!! Also, you probably won't understand what this post is about. Read my post "Love It Or Lose It, Sometimes There's No Choice" Then come back to this one. For all of you who have read it, this is an update on my back issues! I was dreading it because I wasn't sure what he'd tell me and/or how bad it would be. He was actually really nice and just gave me a few stretches to do. I thought we'd be out of there all fine but he dropped a few bombshells. He firstly said that we had to get some X-rays done. I wasn't too worried about that until he explained that he couldn't do anything to me until he was sure that my back was fine. I was worried because he wasn't sure I was fine!! He also said something to me that made me the saddest girl in the world. I COULDN'T HAVE SUGAR UNTIL I SAW HIM AGAIN! As if being in constant pain wasn't enough sadness for me to bear! I have rice and veggies for di

When I was little, if I grew out of my clothes, my mum gave them to charity. She'd take them in huge bags and put them in the charity bins so they could go to kids who needed them. However I became very attached to my clothes and refused to let go of them, even if they didn't fit me anymore. When my mum told me that we were going to get rid of some of my clothes, I screamed and kicked and refused. Until my mum told me it was a game. We made one pile called the "love it" pile. That was the pile of clothes that I loved so much and they still fit me or were just sentimental. We also had the "lose it" pile. That was where I put the clothes that didn't fit me and didn't mean much to me. At first I hated it but then we made it into a game. If only I had realised that my mum was tricking me!! So back then I had a choice of whether to keep it because I love it or not. I've realised that sometimes you don't have a choice. I've never been forced ou

Most of us have been a new girl at some time in our lives. We've been scared we wouldn't make friends, fit in or enjoy the new school. I know you're thinking I'm not at all qualified to give advice on moving schools but I would know a thing or two about it! I started at a school that I loved more than anything! I started there in Kindy and loved it all! I really did. But then the most horrible stuff happened. I know that a main fear of most people's when moving schools is "I won't make friends." I know I didn't technically change schools, but my best friends in the entire world (kitten and puppy) moved to other schools. I was left with just me and my close-ish friend Moo. We were getting along pretty well and I was finally getting to know her when she made a  big announcement. She was leaving to go live on the other side of the world. I was devastated because A: I wouldn't see her again for a long time B: I would be all alone I still ha
