An Apology and a Request(:

So first, I just want to apologize because I've been a horrible blogger. So to all of my amazing readers Im incredibly sorry, I hope you forgive me. ;)

I will hopefully be getting a new Ipod soon and when I do my posts will be waaaay more frequent.(:

Now you may have been wondering what my request is, and if you weren't thats too bad cause I'm gonna tell you anyway.(; Well as you know I haven't blogged in way to long so I had an idea tha will make everybody happy! I have a bloggers block and don't have a clue what to post. So if you guys have anything you want me to post about then leave a comment below.

It dosnt even have to be an idea. Like, if you just wanna hear my opinion about something or if you wanna know about my love life or what music I like, or hell, If you wanna know my favorite kind of yogurt. XD I will answer anything.(:

Inverted Side Braid

So this hairstyle has recently become super popular at my school and I think it's pretty freaking adorable so I decided to do a post on it! I really love how it can be super fancy or really laid back. First you just gather your hair on either side of you head, and put a hair tie in.

Next you split the hair into two sections right above the hair tie, but keep the tie in. take the end of the pony tail and pull it through until its straight again. Its kind of confusing but its very important because it keeps your hair in the braid. Once your done it should look liek and inverted twist.

And lastly, braid the remaining hair. I really hope you guys like this hair style as much as I do! It'll be perfect for summer because its such an easy way to have cute hair and get it out of your way!(:

Taylor Swift Curls!

I was going through some of Blair's old videos and I found one on Taylor Swift curls! I thought they'd be really cute so I tried it my self! They are super adorable and they took me about 25-60 minutes and I have pretty long hair that has medium thickness. For this look I used the Remington T-Studio Pearl Ceramic Curling Wand.

Blog Tips! :)

So I was asked by one of my followers to do a post on blogging tips. So here it goes! :)


Favicons: This ones for you Meg! :P Haha so the favicon is the little picture next to your websites address. Like this!

It needs to be a really small picture so you have to go to a website that makes your picture smaller-click here for the website. Pick the desired picture you want and choose Merge with a 32x32 desktop icon. Click create image. Then save it to your computer and go to layout on your blogger overview page with all your stats and stuff. In the top left corner there's a white box that says favicon, click edit. then click choose file, and find the really small picture you just made. 

How to Get Viewers: 

• I find blogs that are really popular like Michelle Phan's or Elle and Blair's and comment on them with links to my blog. Write a little discription of what your blogs about. By doing this I've gotten over 2,000 views in a little more than a month!
• Comment or follow on other blogs you find. You can find them by looking on the links above.
• Post on Facebook, twitter or any other social network or add a link to your email.
• Make sure your posts have tags. It makes it much easier for people to find.

Good Quality Posts:

• Make sure your blog has good quality posts and isn't obnoxious! It drives me crazy while reading a post with misspelled words or when its written in ALL CAPS LOCKS!!!!!!!!! And having 9 exclamation points is not helping any either.
• Make sure your titles and sentences are properly capitalized. It just makes your blog look unproffesional and bad.
•  Make it look professional and make sure the writing is easy to read and its big enough.

• Make sure your blog looks good and your background fits what you blogs about.For example if your blogs about boy video games dont have a butterfly backround.There are so many blog templates out there that you can find the perfect one that fits your blogs mood.

This Is For All You Book Nerds :) Part 1

 Somebody messaged me on http://www.elleandblair.com/# asking what some of my favorite books are and I though it would make a pretty awesome post so here it goes! Be warned! I'm a total book nerd so this list might be incredibly long! And this is only part 1! :)

Seriously Inspiring: All those books that just inspire you to do something. Girl power!

• My Life In Pink And Green- Lisa Greenwald This book is really good! It has beauty tips, money tips and is just a really cute and inspiring book about being green.
• Oh My Gods!- Terra Lynn Childs Such a good book! It for some reason it inspires me to run! Its also has cute boys and powers! :)
• Abby Hayze #1- Okay this book is for younger kis and its really short but it always inspires me to practice soccer! Haha
• Going For The Record- This book is extremly sad but its inspiring to get in shape! This incredibly good soccer player's dad is struggleing with cancer and school.
• Any Sarah Dessen books! They are so good! One of my favorite authors! My favorites are Lock and Key, Truth About Forever, and What Happened To Goodbye.
• North Of Beautiful- Sper good! Its about a girl struggling with a port wine stain (Really big birthmark on her face) and she just kinda learns to be herself.

Mystery:

• 1-800-WHERE-R-U: Meg Cabot These are so good! I couldnt put them down! One of my favorite authors to! What if you got struck by lightning and woke up with the psychic ability to find missing people?.
• Size 12 Is Not Fat- Meg Cabot Washed up popstar Heather Wells starts working at a college as an assistant dorm director but then the dead body of a female college student is found and  And nothing ticks off a killer more than a ex-pop star who's sticking her nose where it doesn't belong . . .
• Three Black Swans-Caroline B. Cooney  "the truth changes the lives of three families—as the bonds of blood must withstand the strains of long-hidden secrets that are at last revealed" -Barnes and Noble
• Four Truths and a Lie- Lauren Barnholdt This is one of those books that if you judge it by the cover, you would never read it! It looks like its written for 8 year olds but its so good! This girl has a bad past and she moves to a boarding school. In her english class they have pen pas with the neighboring bys school and her pen pal threatens to tell her secret if she dosnt figure out the four truths and a lie.
