Book review: Princess By Belinda Ray

                                                                        Source
Many of you don't know this but i used to love books! I used to read all day a few months ago and i was even caught reading in a French class once!( *check-not good). But i guess my interest in fashion has taken over all my other interests which i want to change. I miss the old Naana a little and i want that girl who was way sweeter and more quiet and studious back and i am working on it. Let's cut the chase..........so what mystery book will i be reviewing?! Well...........................................
''Princess'' filed under Charm club by Belinda Ray. It is an amazing and interesting book! I read it a long long time ago(when i say long, i am not exaggerating). About a week or so ago, i picked it up and run through. I love how the story goes. It is about a girl Jasmine Porter who moved out of her neighborhood for a reason not mentioned and comes back only to find out that her life-long enemy still hates her. However, she is greeted by her old two best friends ends with another new girl introduced to hair. It turn out her enemy still hates her and will do anything to humiliate her! Jasmine is later on given a charm bracelet by her best friends from which a solution to her problems emerges................a fairy. Although she doesn't help out at first, everything works out later on and she actually wins an award at a talent show! I am not quite a good narrator and i know you must be thinking, what talent show?! Tell us, tell us. Well, go get your own and then you can dissolve it yourself!

How to put together the perfect sunday outfit!

Hi lovely readers, hope you are all great! Today, we will be talking about how to put together the perfect Sunday outfit. I will be giving the tips and you will share your opinion in the form of a comment. So.......................i don't know about you but i have a hard time putting together Sunday outfits. Lately, it has gotten better because i have( if not completely), gotten a little bit over the idea that i have to wear something new every Sunday because it is financially not good to have that in your head and when you really think about it, there is no sense in doing that. Now, i work with what i have and once in a while, i get a treat from my parents and friends. (Treat=clothes/accessories). I am trying to be more independent and to get myself some of the stuff that i need by saving which you can try too but don't go overboard. So what are my tips?!  3 steps only!
* Plan the night before- You must know what you are going to wear to church the night before Sunday morning. This is very important and you don't want to wake up feeling lost on what to wear or turn up looking like a ''rag''. Make sure to iron your dress/ skirt and top and put them in a safe place. You must make sure to wear what suits your figure and it must have a bit of style. Not too tight and just below your knee(never above). Keep accessories in mind and add a couple of bangles, maybe a necklace and ear rings. Don't go overboard and don't wear torn or very old clothes!
*The next morning........... Wake up early and say your prayers and do your quiet time. If you have chores, do it and then start your whole ''preparing for Church''! After doing your chores, go brush your teeth if you haven't and then go take your bath. Make sure to wash your hair and the rest of your body well and then towel dry.Then apply body lotion/cream, use deodorant, put on your underwear, use body splash if you have any and then put on your outfit. Take your time but don't be as slow as a snail! For your makeup, just lip gloss will do but you can use eye shadow and mascara once in a while. I don't recommend the latter two or even foundation because they make you age quickly. The final touch is doing your hair in whatever way you want. I have a really low low cut(you can tell from my pictures) so i just apply hair cream to my hair and brush it. Although my hair is hard, when i do this while it's still wet, it looks nice.Then, spray light perfume at the back of your ear and on your hands(the part where your pulse is checked-what is that part called?)
* At church, be confident and love how you look! Make sure to pay attention to the preacher because no matter how much you look fabulous, God won't be pleased if you are not listening to his word! Don't listen to anyone who tells you that you do not look good! They are (read my lips)......JEALOUS. Well, thanks for reading! I gotta run! x

What is bad and what is not?!

So this is our first post and i do hope we all enjoy ourselves. Today, we will be talking about everything around us, what is right and what is not. Now if you are a true Christian, you already know there are some stuff around us which are not good. It could be music, clothes, books or movies. But how do we tell if they are not good for us? Simple answer: How the content agrees with the Gospel. If that song made a hot playlist in your country, that doesn't mean you should listen to it unless it does not go against the scripture. If that dress is too short and you know it, don't wear it because your favourite celebrity wore it! You must always wear decent but stylish clothes! Then the books: Romance, romance, romance, no ,no, no! I used to love them but they are so not good! Lastly are movies. Don't watch bad movies with drugs, achohol, etc being portrayed as good! You know what the etc stands for, i just don't want to write it. What do you think? Any contribution?! Let me know in the form of a comment! Thanks for reading! x
