Battle of the Lipgloss!

Ok, so I may go shopping on Sunday, and definitely need a new lipgloss! I have narrowed it down to a few different options! Leave a comment w what you think I should get. Okay... here goes. The first one I'm thinking of getting is MAC Viva Glam Gaga Lipglass. It's $14 and a really pretty pink color with a blue tint. This color is amazing, and inspired by Lady Gaga, one of my favorite singers ever. Unfortunately, this contains parabens, but all the ones I've picked out do, sadly. That would be the first option. The second is another MAC product. It would be... MAC Wonder Woman Lipglass in Emancipation. This color is very similar to MAC Viva Glam Gaga Lipglass, however a bit lighter, which I like. This is also limited edition lipglass. It's $20 but you get a lot of product and the tube is almost double the size of a regular MAC lipstick, which I think is amazing. The applicator is really big as well, and I think this shade would flatter my skintone well. I think this is probably what I'll end up going with, but I'm not quite positive yet. The third option is Lancôme Juicy Tubes Smoothies in Spring Fling. This product I've tried before and loved! This lipgloss is $18 and contains quite a bit of product compared to most MAC lipglasses. Then again, I've really wanted to try out MAC lipglass, but Juicy Tubes was definitely a great lipgloss. The only con is that it was a tad bit sticky, but it's not too sticky for my taste. My fourth option isn't technically a lipgloss, but a lip smoothie. Clinique Lip Smoothie in Pear-Fection. This color is a coral color and comes in the form of a skinny tube that reminds me somewhat of an eyeliner. However, after reading reviews, I've come to realize there is not much product for $18. If i'm going to be spending quite a bit if money on a lipgloss, I'd like it to be worth it. Then again, I could always go with MAC Tinted Lipglass. I'm not sure what color quite yet as I loved quite a few of them, however, for $14, it doesn't seem as if there's a lot of product in such a tiny tube of lipglass. Then there's MAC Dazzleglass, Clinique Superbalm, MAC Kissable Lipcolour... I had originally wanted MAC Kissable Lipcolor, which has no parabens, but the color I wanted, Enchantée, is no longer available. I think if I chose this, I'd end up going with "So Vain" which is described as a muted dirty coral. I think it may be a bit too red for me though, I like pink lips and pink lips only, most times. Of course, Bath & Body Works Liplicious is an affordable option, but like I said, I prefer high end lipgloss because personally, I find that it's a lot better quality. I've tried Chanel lipgloss before, and I loved it, but is very expensive for not a lot of product. So, please tell me what you think in the comments below! What would you get? Or is there another product you reccomend, preferably paraben-free? Please let me know by Sunday, March 6th 2011! I'll let you guys know what I decide as soon as I know myself lol. xoxo, Ali

Pretty Little Liars and Beach Blondes! ♥

Pretty. Little. Liars. Is. The. Best. Thing. In. The. Whole. Entire. World. Yeah, it's true! Sooo excited because today, after having 3 tooth extractions, I went to Barnes & Noble yeaaaa! And I got Flawless and Perfect, the next 2 books in such an amazingly awesome series. I reallty hope there's more of Toby and Spencer in these books... the last episode, the Toby and Spencer scenes were amazing. My new favorite couple, for sure. They really need to go out, and when they do, they had better not even dare to break up. Toby and Spencer are amazing together. Jenna kind of scares me, but Toby and Spencer... wow. Aria and Ezra are a cute couple too. Sooo happy that Ezra actually said "I love you" to Aria! Awwww so sweeet. They have to stay together, ad if Ezra is caught, well that would be a big problem, so A, please don't ruin them. I loved when Aria was telling Ezra about The Jenna Thing. Amazing momet. Calab and Hanna.... well, before this past episode, I couldn't stand Caleb. But now, he's just become so likable. He and Hanna are amazing together. I was sooo happy when Ashley Marin let Caleb stay for a bit!!! Now, if A didn't have to ruin everything, then this would be perfect. Oh, A. Please mind your own business and stay out of Emily/Aria/Hanna/Spencer's love lifes. Go ruin someone else's. But don't even go near Toby or Spencer. Or Aria or Ezra. Or Hanna or Caleb. Toby and Spencer, <3333. Aria and Ezra scenes? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hlQcGsgpSkQ Check. Toby and Spencer? <3 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B7D13yz8dVY Check. Hanna and Caleb? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LAXMz0ddTsg&feature=channel_video_title Check. Then, want the full episode? Because I think it's the best one so far! http://abcfamily.go.com/watch/pretty-little-liars/SH5547476/VD55114070/a-person-of-interest yeayyyy!! Cuh-learly the best show ever! Now, Beach Blondes. I have not yet read this book, but did order it from the library. MacBarbie07 on YouTube mentioned this in her suggestions of what to read this summer, and I thought it sounded like a really good book. It's about this girl, I guess, who's torn between 3 guys. I think, anyway that's what Bethany had said in her video. Now, I know you're not supposed to judge a book by its cover, so I'm not going to. However, the cover does look amazing, and it makes the book look super good.

I guess that wraps up my lil bloggy post! I'll tty tomorrow, guys! Love you all! xo, Ali

Mushrooms are intimidating creatures.

Mushrooms are intimidating creatures. Okay, technically they're a fungus, not a creature but whatever. Actually, I'm not even sure that "intimidating" is the right word... disgusting? Ferocious? Scary? Hairy? Point is, I'm terrified of mushrooms. When I was little my sister picked a mushroom from the ground, and chased me around the house with it. And the perimeter of our house is roughly 1/4 of a mile. Well, I fell, and guess what? I landed on a MUSHROOM! Ahhhh! So then i started crying lol. And, I'm scared of mushrooms still, even today. Disgusting little beasts they are. Yuck. They're such ugly little creatures, and are portrayed with cute little faces sometimes or pretty polka dots. But, ew. I'm scared of fungi. I don't know. Just am. Mushrooms, as well as all other funguses, are all intimidating little things. From the ground, or from the grocery store, I don't care. Scary things, I tell you. Not something fun, mushrooms. Mold, mushrooms, wghatever fungus it is, it terrifies me. Ugh. Mushrooms are just the type of evil thing that in a horror, movie, will creep up on you. Apparently, when I was a baby, I loved mushrooms. Well i don't know if thatr's the truth, because I'm terrified of the stupid things! Gah! MUSHROOMS ARE STUPIDITY. Here's a little math equation for you guys... "Me + Big, Sharp, Knife = Mushrooms in big trouble" haha my fav. And oh so true. Mushrooms, ok, I know they're helpful to some plants, but to humans, pretty useless. Stupidity. That should be the definition in the dictionary. Stupidity. Because clearly, that's what mushrooms are. Duh!!!!

Tooth Extractions :'(

Today, at 10AM, I got my last 3 baby teeth out, yeayyyy! Lollll stupid tooth extractions! It was actually kinda fun and pain free....I got a funny strawberry scented nose thingy haha. And the whole process literally took less than 5 minutes...well, I have no idea, because I was half asleep, it felt way too much like a dream. My lip was numb and it was really annoying me! I think he put on a lil too much jelly numbing stuff, but I guess that's better than not enough and me actually feeling it, right? The dentist who did it was really nice. He's just like, "Open big please" I probably was half asleep for a moment or two, then he was done, and he gave me my teeth in pink and purple tooth chest thingys!!! Hahah And there was this funny tingly thingy on my finger for heart ratre and stuff and it was cool to watch the numbers change it was all weird...then I went to Barnes & Noble yeayyy, and then this grocery store that I hate. It's actually awesome, I just think all grocery stores are boring. Technically I couldv'e gone back to school if I had wanted to but I had a big science quiz about energy that I didn't really study for so I decided I'll just get me an extra day of studying and make it up tomorrow instead. Anyway, back to teeth, I had to put these gross cotton thingys in my mouth and then when I took em out they were all bloody. But I'm fine now, no more numb. And I can eat somewhat normal, I've already eatin vanilla soft serve ice cream from McDonalds and hash browns from Dunkin Donuts w no problem lol. They kindof look disturbing. Like mushrooms kinda. Hahaha I'm gonna go blog 2 more entries to make up for the days I missed. Ttyl and xoxo!

The many quote accounts on Twitter!

Ok, if you don't already know, I am like, obsessed with quotes. And Twitter. Put both of then together and you get... Quote accounts, on twitter, that tweet cute quotes that us teen girls can relate to. Quote accounts are like, the best thing on Twitter ever, and before then, I really have no clue what people did on Twitter... read random peoples tweets? No probably not. There are thousands, if not millions, of quote accounts set up on Twitter. Every one of them as relatable quotes that all teen girls enjoy. Quotes about love, life, and friendship are my favorite kinds, most quotes on Twitter are about love. But if you're not interested, there's quote accounts set up for say, making fun of school, whatever. Well ok, technically these tweets aren't quotes, more, sayings, and just random things teens can relate to. Some quote accounts tweet about celebs, tv shows... some do post quotes though... like, a quote from their favorite character on a tv show, or a quote from a song, or a quote from a celebrity. All of these accounts set up to inspire teens are referred to as a "quote account" however. I loveee quote accounts, they're absolutely amazing to me. One that I really like is @quotesforateen - awesome quotes, so if you aren't already followed to her (Carlee) you should really go and follow. I also like @TheNotebook, @OMGwhatateen, @OMGTeenquotez, @Teen_quotez, and those are just to name a few! There are a ton if them. You really have to go check it out! It's not something you wanna miss!

Pretty Little Liars Book Review! ♥

I ♥ Pretty Little Liars. I ♥ it! I went to Barnes and Noble this past Tuesday, February 22, and I purchased 2 books with giftcards I had received for Christmas... A Tale of Two Pretties by Lisi Harrison and Pretty Little Liars by Sara Shepard. Now I was supposed to save both books to read at school, but that didn't happen lol. I finished Pretty Little Liars within 2 days after starting it, that's how amazingly good it was. I read it in bed, rather than tweeting ot texting or whatever else. I'm going to try not to give away any spoilers, I'll tell you guys before I do, if I do. But anyway, here's what it says on the back: "Spencer covets her sister's boyfriend. Aria's fantasizing about her English teacher. Emily's crushing on the new girl at school. And Hanna uses some ugly tricks to stay beautiful. But they've all kept an even bigger secret since their friend Alison vanished. How do I know? Because I know everything about the bad girls they were and the naughty girls they are now. And guess what? I'm telling. -A" See, that right there has suspense and mystery. The whole book is kindof like a dramtic romance type book...does that make sense? Everything in this book is described so well that I can pretty much picture it, and that's always a good thing. And it indicates that Sara Shepard is a really good writer. The prologue, in this case titled "How It All Started" is really good too, because it makes you get a sense of what's going on here and how Alison went missing. "A"'s messages make this book really suspenseful, and I really am dying to know who it is. A knows pretty much everything, like, when Ezra realizes that Aria is his student, Aria receives a text from A saying that she knows... who could A be? No one else saw them at the bar...et supposedly (SPOLER ALERT) A is Mona, Hanna's best friend, who is, in this book, I wouldn't consider her a major character, but she's definitely not a minor character either. She's like an in between. Then, the second A is (SPOILER ALERT) Alison? Yes, Ali is very much alive. It's all explained in the later books, I'm sure. So, yeah, there are two A's here. At the very end, technically after the book has ended, there's a "note" to the reader from "A" and here, I shall type it out for you, word for word. Here goes.... "I bet you thought I was Alison, didn't you? Well, sorry, but I'm not. Duh. She's dead.  Nope, I'm very much alive... and I'm very, very close. And for a certain clique of four pretty girls, the fun has just started. Why? 'Cause I say so. Naughty behavior deserves punishment, after all. And Rosewood's finest deserve to know that Aria's been doing some extra-credit smooching with her English teacher, don't they? Not to mention the nasty family secret she's been hiding for years. The girl is a train wreck. While I'm at it, I really ought to tip Emily's parents off to the reason she's been acting funny lately. Hey there, Mr. Fieldsm nice weather, huh? And by the way, your daughter likes kissing girls. Then there's Hanna. Poor Hanna. Just free-falling into dorkdom.. She may try to claw her way back to the top, but don't worry-I'll be there waiting to knock her rapidly growing back into a pair of stonewashed mom-jeans. Oh my god, I almost forgot Spencer. She's a total mess! After all, her family thinks she's a completely worthless skank. That's gotta suck. And just between us, it's about to get much worse. Spencer's keeping a deep, dark secret that could pretty much ruin all four of their lives. But who would tell such an awful secret? Oh, I don't know. Take a wild guess. Bingo. Life's so much fun when you know everything. Just how do I know so much? You're probably dying to know, aren't you? Well, relax. All in due time. Believe me I'd love to tell you. But what's the fun in that? I'll be watching. -A" So yep, that was the little note that "A" left to the reader. Right now, A is, as I know, (SPOILER ALERT) Mona. Yepp...definitely does not seem like A. But it makes sense, considering how Mona was treated back in seventh grade by the girls. It would make sense that she would want to get even...the thing is, how would she know all that stuff, the things the girls only told Ali? That's what I'd really like to know. Mona and Ali, if they're A, well then I'd probably have to guess that Mona and Ali are not true friends at all, like Aria, Spencer, Emily, and Hanna. Maybe, I'm guessing, Mona knows that Ali is alive and that Courtney exists?? Idk lol, but I definitely want to read Flawless. Sooo I want to try and read the rest of the PLL books that are out by July, when the 9th book, Twisted, comes out, and then I think there will be 3 more Pretty Little Liars books to come out after that.Which, I can't wait, because I would really like to know what Sara does after Courtney's existence, and Ali's being alive, is revealed...there wouldn't really be much of a mystery, would there? I'm guessing that maybe it's something to do with Toby and Jenna Cavenaugh. Now there's the TV series, and this is really confusing me because the girls are described completely different in the books than in the TV show. For example, Hanna has reddish-brown hair in the book, but is blonde on TV. I mean, the TV show does an amazing job of portraying the book. It just all makes sense, I guess. What I don't get is the whole Courtney/Alison thing, but I haven't gotten that far just yet. I'll probably do book reviews for the other PLL books as well, because this is definitely the best series I've ever read so far. Btw, thank you for reading this ♥ I know it was long, so if you read through the whole thing, well you're a true PLL fan ♥ so anyway, this is the book that I got, with this cover...

If you're wondering, the order of the PLL books so far would be...

1. Pretty Little Liars

2. Flawless

3. Perfect

4. Unbelievable

5. Wicked

6. Killer

7. Heartless

8. Wanted

9. Twisted

10. [Unknown]

11. [Unknown]
12. [Unknown]

Thank you for reading this! If you're going to read this book, I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. xoxo, "A"

Ice Skatingggg

On Thursday, I went ice skating, and this winter, I've only been ice skating 2 times. The first, in January, with my sister and her best friend, and the second, Thursday, with my sisters and cousin. Th first time I was pretty much krazy glued to the wall hahaha, and I fell 3x, and once, it was kind of like dominoes...I was holding on to my sister, I fell, then she did, then her best friend did. This second time I went, I actually fell only once, and it was towards the end, too, and I fell flat on my butt...gthen it was like, impossible to get up w/o falling back down. But this second time, I could actually skate pretty well after 10-15 minutes. It was really fun, and I had a couple of races with my little sisters. Sadly, they won all 3 lol and I lost, but hey, they fell 5 and 11 and 24 times, and I fell just 1x. Hahahh I could go quite fast (: It was enjoyable, but of course I got a blister on my big toe... I should post a pic....it doesn't show my face like, at all, but I think I should get my parents' approval first...hahahh I'm gonna wrap this post up and then start working on a book review! Check back later to read!

La Famille

So I have this big family album thingy to make for French, and it's due, like, Monday, the 28th. And it was assigned like, 2 weeks ago. I have all my captions typed out, and am working on selecting pictures, right now, as I type, I'm actually saving pictures and emailing pictures from other computers and all that. Then, all I really have to do is select the pictures I'd like to use, and print them out, then edit my captions, print those, cut them out, glue, and decorate. Haha. And I waited quite a long time, and as you know, if you've read some of my previous posts, I am a big procastinator harhar. I mean, I get straight A's and stuff, but usually, I won't study for a big test or start a project till like, a few days before it's due. But hey, I still get straight A's in fact, on my last report card, I got straight A+s, with the exception of 2 As. Hahah. And one of them was actually in gym...lol. Anyway, my pictures are taking forever to send...haha. Well, I guess they've sent now... sorry, I'm pretty sure this is a boring blog....but it's gonna be fun picking picures and decorating....I got pretty pink paper...lol the color is called "Mauve Ice" lol. It's all big and square and 12x12...hehe. I can't wait to dp the decorating part of everything...it's gonna be fun...I guess this is kindof, in a way, a "scrapbook" well, not exactly, but similar, and I love scrapbooking. It's so fun. Should I start a craft channel on YouTube??? Hmmm... well anyway, my captions haha, are gonna be the death of me, I swear. I need to go back and do accents.... all that "fun" stuff. NOT. Oh well, I guess Frecnh is my favorite subject... it's interesting (c'est interresant) lol of course I meant to put an accent aigo on that e, but yeah. Hahahha. I guess I'm boring you now, so I guess I'll go back to working on my project. I'll blog later tonight if I get the chance!!!
xoxo,
Ali

What's wrong with using Wikipedia?

I trust Wikipedia, and use it to look things up all the time... usually the upcoming episodes of Pretty Little Liars or the upcoming episodes of Spongebob... and there's never once been a time where Wikipedia was wrong. And usually when I work on a school project I look things up on Wikipedia, then I'm like "Oh, wait, apparently Wikipedia's not trustworthy so then I go to some other site and the information is pretty much exactly the same, just stated differently. Anyway, who would put fake info on a site like Wikipedia? Well, I love most wikis actually... the Spongebob wiki, the PLL wiki, the Twilight wiki...I mean, who doesn't love em? Then there's those Mario game wikis also. I hate when the teacher assigns a huge project then is like "No using Wikipedia! It's not trustworthy!" but in my opinion it so is. Like, seriously, the research part of the project would be done in practically half the time if we could use Wikipedia...they really should make a website just like Wikipedia with guaranteed true info and facts, but it wouldn't be a wiki... that would just save so much time and all...of course, that would take alot of work, and you'd have to add and take away some info. But whatever. I so <3 wikipedia, ESPECIALLY Pretty Little Liars Wiki, however I am finding that some of that info is not all completely true, and a lot of the articles are stubs. But still, I am a huge PLL fan, obviously lollll sooo, I still adore that wiki. The Twilight wiki and Spongebob wiki are uge, and most  info is true, however on the Twilight wiki, as in the PLL wiki, I am finding many stub articles. So, I think I should make a wiki account and fix em up a bit ;) lol...Lunchtime, will blog later!
xoxo, Ali ♥
