I’m Back + Update on life, apps and Justin Bieber!

Hey guys, I’m back! I know I said that I would start blogging immediately after I got back from Ireland but I just didn’t have time ): I was starting secondary at school, coming into a whole new system, worrying about buying pens, pencils, office supplies etc, cleaning my locker, saving up for a new phone, doing homework, maintaining my social life on Facebook and real life, entering contests etc. So as you can see, I was kinda busy. Anyway, I am happy to say that I DO have a new phone (iphone)! It’s only 3GS though, but I still love it! I also installed the WordPress app on the phone as I don’t always have time to go on the computer or someone else might be using it.

I will also be doing more app reviews  as the App Store is working again (YAY!). You might also remember the post I wrote before I left saying that I would try to write as many articles as possible in my notebook, and I did so after I finish this post I’m going to type them out as well.

In Other News:
JB and SG Break-up:
So far we’ve had two posts about this cute  couple - one falsely informing us that Justin was going to PROPOSE to his girl on her birthday (false alarm, don’t worry beliebers!) – but this one is almost as shocking. Somehow, another rumour got out that they were breaking up although Justin and Sel put out this flaming tall-tale by sharing a ‘baiser’ (French for kiss) at the Teen Choice Awards. And so they live on!

App Reviews:
Like I mentioned above, I will probably be doing more app reviews since I upgraded from an Ipod to Iphone.

Candy, Muffin and Youtube:
Yes, I know my two kittens have the same names as two sugary snacks but I swear, I don’t want to eat them! I’m making some videos for Youtube following the daily lives of Candy and Muffin as well as ‘How Tos’ and some other random eye-candy. I’ll post the link(s) when they’re finished (:

That’s all for now! Sorry for such a looong post but I was trying to make up for all the time I wasn’t blogging.

Update on Holiday

Hey guys!
As I said in my last post, I’m going on holiday to my home country, Ireland, for 16 days. I also stated that I would try to blog if I got the chance and, as I’m staying overnight at my cousins’ house today and tomorrow, I just wanted to give you a little update!

The weather had been unusually kind to us instead of the usual grey clouds and rain. In fact, we actually had a barbecue yesterday at grans’ house with hot dogs and everything.  I went shopping in Rushmere but didn’t have much luck. I did, however, get a black mini dress from H&M which I absolutely adore!   I also bought  three books that I was dying to read; Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire – got to the middle of this one long ago, but had to return it to the library because school was ending ): , Dork Diaries Pop star – this is the third in the Dork Diaries series, which is just like Diary of a Wimpy Kid but more girly and last but not least, Little Darlings by one of my fave authors, Jaqueline Wilson! We also got a new Sky remote ’cause ours is all chewed up. Wether it’s the children, the cats or both is a mystery.

So right now, I’m chilling out at my cousins’ place. I also bought along a journal with me instead of my laptop so I can write posts and then type them up once I get back. Whats’ next, you ask? Well, I’m planning on doing something about Sylvanian Families and Tescos toilet paper. (: Ciao!

Going to Ire’ for a short while + good bye Rosie

Hey guys! Miss Munky here.
I just wanted to let you know that I will not be blogging for 16 days as I am leaving early tommorow morning to go to my home country, Ireland. (: If there is a chance to blog in Ireland, I will. Otherwise, I’ll right down posts in a notebook or on word documents and then when I get back I’ll copy and paste them, so there’ll probabely be a showering of new posts after I come back.

Thinking of you,
- XXX Miss Munky

P.S One of my best friends is going back to her home country to live there tommorow around the same time as I’m going on holiday. I’m not sure if you’re reading this, Rosie, or if you ever will, but I wish you and your family good luck (.: Missing you already. <3

JB Proposal to Selena Gomez False Alarm

You may have read my post from a while ago about Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez, and if you haven’t, here’s the link: http://cookiesrcool.wordpress.com/2011/07/10/3-jb-and-selena-gomez-3/

Apparently, JB was going to propose to his girlfriend of 9 months on her 19th birthday, which is on the 22nd of July – today. However, after some research I found out that it was just a rumor spread by teen magazine ‘Now’. According to the magazine, Justin was so strongly affected by Sean Kingstons ski accident in Miami that he was forced to reevaluate his future and apparently claimed that life was too short. An ‘insider’ said that “He’s not in any rush to head down the aisle but after such a fantastic time in Maui together it’s really cemented how he feels about Selena and is hoping she’ll agree to say yes,”.

So it was a false alarm! So what happens now? I guess things will carry on as normal. Well, good bye and thanks for reading!

My Bathing Routine

Hey guys!
Personally, I’ve always been more of a ‘bath person’. Showers are cool but you usually have to stand up and the first time I stepped in a shower, it was FREEZING – the controls on some showers are really messed up. Anyway, for all you ‘bath people’ I have recorded my personal bodycare and haircare routine!

So here:

1. Fill bath with cool water. If you get in and it’s too cold, runn a tiny bit of hot water.

2.  Relax for 5-10 minutes

6. Pat warm water over face and throat

7. Put a nickel-sized drop of your face wash on your finger tips then rub them together

8. Apply to face, behind ears and throat before washing off

9. Stand up, put a drop of shower gel on your hand and wash your body. I try to use an exfoiliating bodybrush at least once a week.

10.  Sit back down

11. Apply the correct amount of shampoo, depending on your hair length, to your hand before gentley massaging it to the back of your hair

12. Wash out with warm water using shower head

13. Repeat steps 11-12

14. Get out of bath, immediatley dry weak spots like behind the knees, ears, elbows etc

15. I like to airdry my hair so wrap your hair up in a towel. If you don’t know how to do this, go to: http://www.wikihow.com/Create-a-Turban-With-a-Towel-to-Dry-Wet-Hair

16.  After your dried, walk back to room in towel or dressing gown, get dressed then put on moisturizer

17. Chill out until hair is dry, then apply conditioner (for use after hair is dried), leave in 3 mins then rinse out with cold water.

Hope this works, it leaves me feeling fresh as a daisy!
Before I finish this blog post, I just wanted to share this picture with you:

It’s a steam shower! Pretty cool, right? It’s big, has a seat and has lots of complicated controls that probabley do awesome things! Looks a bit like a time machine, don’t you think? Bye for now!

My Mini Nighttime Hair ‘Routine’

Hey guys, recentley I’ve started doing this ‘routine’ before going to bed. First, I  choose a hairstyle s -e.g yesterday I braided my hair- and then take a  picture on my webcam. I sleep with that hairstyle, then in the morning  when i get up I take out the clips, elastic bands etc, brush my hair and take    another picture but this time it’s a picture of the result. Now I can find the  perfect night time hairstyle for me. (: I don’t even have to worry if the  result turns out to be horrible because I’m not going anywhere as it’s the  summer holidays! Bye!

P.S I might record the results at the end of the week.

Pamper Your Cat <3

Good Morning! Today I’m going to give you some advice on how to pamper your cat/kitten(s), as I have two kittens (twin sisters, tabby).

1. Clean their food bowls and litter tray + put out some new litter
2. Give them their fave meal (mine like Ultra Soft Mousse)
3. Clean their bed(s), blanket, pillows etc
4. Create a ‘cuddle corner’ with their bed, some comfy duvvets and loads of big cushions. *Tip* You can create this on the floor, on a sofa, or even on a shelf so they can practice jumping.
5. Give them a cat massage.
6. Put on classical music or music that your cat might like *Research shows that most cats like classical music*
7. Brush their fur.
8. Play with them, dangle a scarf, string, or a fluffy toy mouse in front of them but make sure there  aren’t any loops that your cat could get stuck in.
9. Buy a scratch post or turn an old carpet inside out (it has the same type of texture) .
10. When your cat’s tired, sit down, turn on the TV, let your feline friend lie down on your lap and just relax <3

Good Luck!

Growing Up and stuff *For Girls*

We all know that being a teenager is tough, especially for girls.  I’m not going to go in on the embarrassing details but apart rom that, there’s also acne and spots, greasy hair, annoying mood changes, painful stomach aches and head aches, a whole new flood of emotions and much, much more. However, there are still good things, like:
You can finally fit into those skinny black jeans/white off-the-shoulder top/high-heeled shoes that you really wanted, you can stay up later, you can hang out more with your mates, more responsibility = more independence etc.

  There are loads of books, websites and magazines that understand  everything to do with growing up and everything that comes with it, and  one of my fave websites is: http://www.beinggirl.com/

It covers all the basic stuff, all the embarrassing stuff, all the worrisome  stuff and all your problems! Of course, it’s meant for girls, and if you’re a  nosy boy and your snooping around here, there’s nothing to find except  the truth about girls, which you won’t be worried about when you  discover the hidden secret behind your own kind – boys.

So good luck, beinggirl has plenty of tips on all types of things so I hope  you find  what you’re looking for!

Peace out!

Lego Harry Potter Years 1-4

A while ago I started reading the Harry Potter books, and I’m really enjoying them. I ordered Lego Harry Potter, years 1-4 on Play.com for PS3 and it was really fun. I haven’t completed it quite yet, but even when I do there’s still a bonus level through the silver gate and free play where I can roam through Hogwarts at my own content.

Sometimes in the game there are cute little mini-clips from the movie  except lego-style, which is not only cool but  more funny. One of the things I noticed when I paused the DVD and the game at the same time was how accurate the Lego game was with the details. Below is just one of the many moments that is suprisingley in sync.

As you can see, the seating arrangements are the same, Mr. Dursley a.k.a Uncle Vernon, is telling his Japanese  golfer joke while everyone is looking towards the main camera (where Dobby is thumping around in Harrys’ room), the wallpaper is the same and only a few things have been changed, e.g the table.

I just wanted to share that with you because I think it’s quite interesting . I also really recommend  the game, Harry Potter years 1-4 which is avaidable on a variety of gaming consoles including PS3 and Xbox and you can get it at pla.com . I enjoyed the game so much that I’m going to try to get the next one (years 5-7) which, if I’m not mistaken, is coming out this November.

Well, goodbye for now!

Birthday Post + Pottermore!

Harry Potter Theme Song

Good morning! Today, as it’s my birthday (YAY!) and because  I like Harry Potter, I’m going to  write a bit about:
*drumroll* Pottermore!

http://www.pottermore.com/

When the final credits of the final part of the final Harry Potter movie come along, after we’ve watched it over and over and got it on DVD, what are we going to do with our lives? Well JK Rowling thought ahead. She’s creating a website called ‘Pottermore’. So what exactly is Pottermore you ask? Well, the website can answer that question:

Pottermore is a free website that builds an exciting online experience around the reading of the Harry Potter books.

Come back on 31st July to find out how you can get the chance to enter Pottermore early.

Above: JK Rowling, the author of the Harry Potter series announcing ‘Pottermore’

It only opens officially in October, so we have a long wait although you can enter your email on the site and it will send you a message to remind you in October.The website didn’t give too much inofrmation, so if you’re a very curious person like me then scroll down on this post or ‘read more’ to find out a bit more info on Pottermore.

\/DOWN

\/Keep on scrolling!

\/Your almost there!

\/Come on, work you fingers!

\/I can feel your curiosity tingling!

\/ I have spider senses!

\/ Don’t believe me?

\/ I can prove it!

\/ Actually, I’ll prove it another time, we’re here!

POTTERMORE REVEALED:

An email was containing Pottermores’ market stragety was accidentley sent out to the public. Apparentley the website is a bit like an online treasure hunt where fans, readers and gamers can search for hidden wands in Britain and America.

This might be true or it might just have been sent accidentley-on-purpose to keep us off track! Well, we’ll find out sooner or later.

Adios!
