Ariana Grande's Album - Yours Truly

First, let me apologize for publishing this post wayyyyy after Ariana Grande's album, Yours Truly, came out on September 3rd.  Anyways, so the day after this album came out, I went right away to Target to buy it since I had waited a long time for her album to come out.  I was so happy that Target had Yours Truly in stock.  :)  Below are pictures of the Yours Truly album packaging.

In my opinion, Yours Truly is the best album ever.  I can't stop listening to it.  Like I literally listen to the album every day.  Also, oh my gosh, her voice is simply flawless.  Her voice was the highlight of this album.  I highly recommend this album for people who like R&B and pop music mixed with some rapping.  Her phenomenal vocals and lovely voice truly makes you feel yours truly! :)

Pretty Little Liars Season 4 Summer Finale Reaction

3 letters that describe this episode: OMG.  Wait, actually it's much more than that.  It's shocking, full of suspense, nail-biting, intense, and mind-blowing.  This summer finale episode revealed answers to questions we have been wondering for a long time such as who is red coat?  Is Alison alive?  Who is A?  Below is my reaction to this episode which contains spoilers.

------------------------------------------------REACTION : SPOILER ALERT----------------------------------------------------
Okay so I am going to talk about my reaction of the events that happened in order.  When Ashley Marin was no longer a suspect for the murder of Darren Wilden, I was so happy for Hanna and her mom.  I always knew that somehow, Ashley Marin will be released from the charges held against her.  Instead, Cece Drake is the new suspect.  When the liars went to the magic show in Ravenswood, I thought the clown looked kinda like Ezra.  As Aria entered the box, I was nervous because I thought this would be one of A's trick again.  Turns out, A took Emily instead.  When Emily was in the wooden coffin and was getting closer to the slicing machine thingy, I knew that the liars will eventually save her just in time like always. :)  Then, Emily saw two Red Coats.  One of them turned out to be Cece, other one is unknown.  So when Marlene said we will find out who red coat is, we didn't actually find out who the "real redcoat" is.  After Cece falls flat on the ground, she apparently was gone.  The camera showed Cece's finger moving; therefore, I'm guessing that Cece was probably still alive from that fall.  Meanwhile, the other redcoat (I'm guessing it's Alison) led Spencer to her lair, and Spencer later led her friends to it.  I'm pretty sure the person who was watching the liars while the liars looked through A's lair was Alison.  When they found out that A has been watching them through security cameras, I wasn't surprised because that's the only way how A could have been watching them at all times.  After when the liars left to find Alison, they met Mrs. Grunwald, who revealed that Alison was always alive.  I knew it!  I like the fact that Alison is alive; it's going to make everything more interesting.  Oh my gosh, in the end, was the most shocking reveal ever.  Ezra is A!!!  Can you believe it?  I did not see that coming.  I always thought Ezra seems too confused to be A.  I'm sad because Ezra and Aria are such a cute couple!  I don't know how Ezra can be watching the liars while he is teaching at school.  I officially lose my trust on Ezra.  Aria, please find out about Ezra as A asap!!!  So yeah, after watching this episode, I think that redcoat is not a bad guy.  It's just Alison protecting her friends - Aria, Spencer, Emily, and Hanna.
--------------------------------------------------------END OF SPOILER-------------------------------------------------------------

And that wraps my reaction of the Pretty Little Little Liars summer finale.  I can not wait till the Halloween Special of Pretty Little Liars!  Anyways, thanks for reading, and be sure to watch Pretty Little Liars on Tuesdays 8/7c! :)

1. Binder - You got to have your binder.

It's so much easier than taking out your binder in my opinion.

7. Pencils - I don't know why, but I lose pencils like every year.  With this pack of pencils, I am positive that I will have enough pencils that will last an entire year.  Btw, in the picture I only showed 13 of it because shared this pack with someone else.

8. Mini Stapler - On multiple occasions last year, I find myself needing a mini stapler, so I decided to get one this year.

After looking through 3 stores that sell stationary, I gathered some helpful tips.  First, Target's school supplies cost the least, and it's also in good quality too.  You should get most or all your school supplies their.  Next, personally, I think office depot has the best pencil case selection.  Last, Staples has the best staplers.  Well of course they do, it's called Staples for a reason.  :)  Anyways, I hoped you enjoy reading my back to school supplies haul, and have the BEST school year ever!! :D

Oh Snap, My Vacation: What I Got From Taiwan

So I went to Taiwan this summer for vacation, and I got several things.  This is what I bought.

1.  Pig Earphones -  I got this because I needed headphones, and there is this cute pig.  To use, I just need to pull the two ends of the earphones at the same time.  Then, the earphones will become longer.  To retract the earphones, I just gently tug on the two ends of the earphones at the same time.  So Simple.

2.  Lanyard -  My school requires every student to wear their ID.  I can just put my ID in this, and it has pockets to put other things.  Also, I love this design.

3.  Huh, I don't know the name of it -  When I open this, there are 2 pockets on each side as shown below.  I put tissues (shown on left), and I will also put ummm feminine stuff.  Because you never know when it's that time of the month.  This product also conceals it, which I really like.  

4.  Wristlet - This is really useful because I put everything I need inside it.  When I'm going to a store or something, I can just grab it.  

5.  Small Bag -  You can actually put anything you want that can fit in this.  For me, I just put cards.  If there is some other small things, I will probably put that in there too.  Oh, and about the design, I know it says Happy Valentine's Day, but it was the best design out of the other ones. 

6.  Hair Accessories - Well, the hair ties are to tie my hair.  The clips are to clip my hair.  And the headband is to hold my hair back.  

7.  "Pads" - Nope it's not pads at all.  It's actually marshmallows inside the wrapper that looks like pads.  Haha. :) 

Okay, so that wraps up the post of all the things I got from Taiwan.  I hope you liked it. 

Book Review + Discussion: Pretty Little Liars #13 Crushed

First, let me just say that this book, Pretty Little Liars Crushed, is DEFINITELY the best book in the Pretty Little Liars series and the best book I have ever read.  I literally could not put it down.  When the discussion (which has spoilers) starts in this book review, I will say so.  For those of you who don't know what the Pretty Little Liars book series is about, I am going to explain.  This series is mainly about 4 girls- Hanna Marin, Spencer Hastings, Emily Fields, and Aria Montgomery- who lost their best friend, Alison DiLaurentis in 8th grade.  Three years later, they begin to receive text messages from this person who called themselves "A", and "A" threatens to expose their secrets and uses it against them.  Throughout the series, the four girls tries to find out who "A" is and who killed Alison DiLaurentis.

Now about Crushed.  I love love love this book's plot.  This book was so suspenseful, so intense, and so addicting.  I literally could not put this book down.  Crushed answered many questions, but it also introduced new mysteries.  As always, it ends with a cliffhanger which leaves me wanting more.  I cannot wait to find out who "A" is.  If you are the type of person who loves mystery and suspense, I will recommend for you to read this book.  Overall, I rate this book a 5/5 stars. :) 

---------------------------------------------------DISCUSSION : SPOILER ALERT---------------------------------------

Okay, so in this book, the liars got together to try to find out who "A" is in this place called the panic room.  The panic room was said to be soundproof.  In the end, when "A" revealed that he or she was watching the liars make plans and come up with theories in the panic room the whole time, it made this question rise in my mind.  Is there really a place where "A" cannot find them?  It was so creepy that "A" already knew that the liars were going to be in the panic room.  But then again, "A" is always one step ahead of them.  I also want to talk about Kyla and Hanna.  When I was reading the interactions between Kyla and Hanna, I knew something wasn't right.  Kyla being interested in Hanna right away was unlikely in my opinion.  In addition, I really do think Alison was actually the Kyla that pretended to be friends with Hanna.  Lastly, oh my gosh, the ending of Crushed was soooo devastating.  I was not expecting that.  I really hope Noel is not dead because I loved Aria and Noel as a couple!  So yeah, that is basically all I wanted to say about this book.  I seriously can't wait till the next book in the Pretty Little Liars series, called Deadly.

---------------------------------------------------------END OF SPOILER------------------------------------------------------

Thank you so much for reading my book review, and I hope this helps you!!! =]  For those of you who read this book, feel free to leave a comment below and tell me what you thought about it. :D  Anyways,  that's all for now.  Stay tuned till the next post..................... ;) 

Review: Chapsticks- Baby Lips, EOS, and Nivea

EOS Lip Balm

The EOS lip balm is overall a pretty good product.    There are 7 total flavors, but there are limited editions ones too.  When you put it on, it barely feels like you have something on your lips.  Just apply more than one layer on your lips because I think when you apply the first time, not much of the lip balm gets on your lip.  Also, this lip balm does not show color when applied.  I mainly use EOS lip balm daily when my lips are chapped.  I rate this product a 5/5 stars since my lips feel moisturized when I put it on, and the product smells really good. :)

Baby Lips

Maybelline's Baby Lips not only moisturizes, but also add color on your lips.  There are 6 regular flavors, and also limited editions.  Two of the flavors, quenched and peppermint, do not add color on your lips when applied.  The peach kiss flavor kind of feels oily when I put it on my lips.Some of the colors, you need to apply more in order for the color to show more, but some you only need to apply a few coats and you're fine.  I mainly use Baby Lips if I want to add color to my lips like a special event or something.  Overall, I rate this product a 4.5/5 stars because the color is soo pretty, and it moisturizes my lips pretty well. :)

                       

Nivea

Let me just say, that Nivea chapstick is soooooo smoooth.  I bought the milk and honey flavor, but it has more of a floral scent.  I feel like it moisturizes my lips pretty well, leaving a buttery feeling.  Compared to EOS, I think it moisturizes around the same.  When you apply this on your lips, it does not have color like EOS.  What I like about this packaging is that it's really easy to twist up.  I rate this product a 5/5 stars as well because it moisturizes amazingly well. :)




Now, some of you might be wondering what the price. so below are the price for each chapstick:
EOS lip balm- $3.29
Baby Lips- $3.99
Nivea- $4.69
The price varies though in each store.


Thnx guys for reading, and I hope my review helps you!! :D

Review: Clean & Clear Acne Spot Treatment

Today, I am going to talk about clean and clear acne spot treatment.  Overall, this product works great in the first few days, like I can see my pimple getting smaller each day.  It made one of my pimples noticeably smaller.  But after the pimple shrinks down to a certain size, it just isn't as effective.  It won't make the pimple completely disappear.  Btw, the pimples I am talking about are actual pimples not blackheads or anything.  So yeah, but it still works!  But when I put the medicine on smaller pimples, by the next day, the small pimples will be almost gone.  Now, I am going to talk about how I use it.

How I use it:

1. I wash my face using my facewash, and dry my face with a cloth or something

2. I apply more of this product on the acne area, but I also put a thin area around it

That's all I do.  Overall, I give this product a 3.5 out of 5 stars. Hopefully, my review helps you. :)
