Book Recommendation!

Unwind Neal Shusterman.
I have recently finished reading the first unwind book in the trilogy. I would definitely recommend you check these books out especially if you liked The Hunger Games books. The book is also set in america in the future. We've had another civil war. The issue we were warring over was Pro-life or Pro-choice. So america decides that the only solution that will appease both sides is that no human life can be ended before 13 years of age. Between ages 13 and 18 your parents may decide to unwind you. That means that you are not dead but you live in a divided state. So all of your body parts are donated to keep others alive. This book makes you think. I haven't been this mixture of disturbed and unable to put a book down since The Hunger Games. This is another glimpse into a possible future that I for one don't want to ever exist. I love when fictional books make me think so much about real life issues. I don't think this book is good for too young of a reader but I think everyone should read this book! I can't wait to finish the Trilogy!!! +Neal Shusterman

Amazing Holy Grail Perfect Skin Product

So I have always been difficult to please when it comes to skin care. I have super sensitive skin. I get oily in some spots dry in others. I have blackheads like crazy and I could never find anything to remove eye makeup that didn't burn my eyes. Until I tried this product. It's so soothing I want to use it all the time. I love eucalyptus oil which is in this. It's calming scent helps relax me after a long day. The best part is that nothing gets my makeup off like this product. I just take about a pump and a half and spread it all over my face. then I put one of the muslin cloths to soak in warm water while I massage it into my skin. Unlike most skin products which I can't wait to get off, I actually enjoy having this on my face. There is no burning when I use it on my eyes and I don't have to rub it in too much to remove even waterproof mascara. Then you just wipe it off with the warm moist muslin cloth. I can not say enough good things about this product. On top of all of that, the first time I ordered it they didn't have it here in the states so I had to have it shipped internationally. It was worth it trust me. The bottle arrived with a tiny crack in it and had leaked a bit so I contacted the company and they were a true delight. They have excellent customer service! They sent me out a new bottle right away. I was so pleased with every aspect of this purchase! Now even better news they now carry it on Birchbox.com http://birch.ly/11uKtH1 
It's $24.50 with free shipping through birchbox for the starter kit. I think I payed around $35-$40 when I had it shipped overseas. So it's a great price and an amazing product. I am officially a Liz Earle fan for life! Can't wait to try more!!!

Cattle snuggles.

I am a city girl but I am also a farmer. This tends to end up with me adoring the livestock just like I adore my dog. I know that in November I lose some of our almost 2 year olds. Every year I dread that day. I like steak but I love my animals. My husband is supportive the night before he reminds me to use one of my sleeping pills and I do and the butcher comes at 7am. I sleep through it every year. I can't be there. My husband says with time I will get used to it. But I don't know about that. See my husband goes to feed the cows he knocks out the Hay pats one on the head and he's on his way. I go see the cows and I have to greet each of them. Two of them come running. I have to make sure I stay where they won't crush me if the both hug and rub their heads and necks against me at the same time. I love my babies. I bring them apples and pumpkins. They each have such great individual personalities I highly suggest you get to know a cow or two. Just don't stand between them and the fence so they don't crush you. I Love my Moosers. Hugs and blessings,Tuff

Why Compare?

There are so many people in this world who have to compare what they have to others. I'm sure we all do it sometimes but I've never understood when people think Oh I like my hair but that girl's is better. It's hair. It serves it's purpose keeps my head warm. I'd miss it if it were gone but then I'd buy a hat. My hair is ok not the best not the worse but if my friend has thicker healthier hair that doesn't change what I have. So what's the point in worrying. This is especially pester-some when it is used to attempt to make someone feel worse about themselves. Why would anyone actually want to do this. We are all different and that is what is great about our world. I think there are a lot of beautiful women out there but just because they exist and are beautiful doesn't change how I feel about myself at all. I will honestly say I'm mostly a sweet person. I can be a bit of a princess. I try my best to always be kind and try new things but I also know I hate getting dirty and prefer to have nice things. (who doesn't) I don't need to compare my self to other people to know these things about myself. I wish we could all stop comparing what we have and what we are to what others have and who they are. It's petty and does nothing positive for the world. Hugs and blessings

Beginning Nail Art Tools.

I LOVE NAIL ART. That being said sometimes I don't feel like getting out tools. They can be messy and a hassle. I do own and use many nail polish tools but some days I use my "cheater" tools. These are great for kids and beginners too! Here is a list of my tools.
- A Sharpie.
First I'll give you a helpful tip rubbing alcohol or even some hand Sanitizers remove Sharpie from skin and most surfaces. So Sharpies come in so many colors you can usually buy them individually at a office supply store and when using them for nail art all you have to do is draw, wait for it to dry, then use a good topcoat. Make sure you get enough topcoat on your brush or it can smear. The best part of this is if you mess up then use rubbing alcohol on a cotton pad to remove and try again!
- Liquid Eyeliners
Liquid eyeliners are a great alternative to make stripes! I have wet n wild liquid eyeliners in nearly every color they make. I use them more for my nails then my eyes! With this tip if you mess up wash your hands and start over. To seal in your design once you're happy with it just wait until it's totally dry and use topcoat!
- Toothpick.
A toothpick is my preferred dotting tool. I can adjust the size with scissors and a nail file. Just cut as much of the tip off as you need to make it bigger and then use a  metal nail file to level the new tip!
- Bobby Pins
This one is fairly well known but they work great as a larger dotting tool!
- Tape
One of my favorite manicures to do is cut out random shapes in tape place them on my nails then sponge on different colors onto my nail. You can even put several tape pieces on one nail and remove one or more and then sponge a new color on!
- Makeup sponges
My final tip is those cheap little makeup sponges. I always use these to sponge on polish. They work great and you can create beautiful ombre designs or even sunsets.
Try one or all of these and let me know how they work for you!

Two words that can make my day

So I am not really a huge T.v. or movie person. But I could watch YouTube for hours on end. There are so many YouTubers I love to watch. Of course daily grace. I like pointlessblog. vlogbrothers were the original ones who got me into YouTube. I like bitsandclips and missjenfabulous but there is one YouTuber who I look forward to her videos every Sunday. I watch all my videos in order but if I see this person has a new video I always watch hers first. She's adorable full of positivity and has probably the cutest baby on earth. The beginning of her videos start with two words that always make me smile, Aloha Sprinklerinos! Yep I adore Sprinkleofglitter. I love how happy she is. I love seeing how amazing she is with her daughter. I love her friendship with Zoella which reminds me so much of my besty and me. It also doesn't hurt that she's British and has an adorable accent. She likes all things pink and sparkly and she's not afraid to be silly or a little geeky or totally fangirl out. I like that because I do all those things. She has a great mix of content on her channel. She posts beauty, lifestyle, mommy stuff, etc. She's even a bit obsessed with stationary and organization like me. So next time you find yourself on YouTube check her out I bet you anything she'll make you smile and the babyglitter videos will for sure brighten your day! +Louise Pentland +Louise Pentland +Zoe Sugg +Grace Helbig +Alfie Deyes +MissJenFABULOUS https://www.youtube.com/user/Sprinkleofglitter
