Welcome Back

Hi! I can't believe it's been a year since I've posted. A lot has changed. First, I'm going to be 13 on June 5th! I'm so excited. Second, I moved to Arizona. It's been almost a year, but my skin and hair are still getting used to the dry air. I'm in seventh grade now and I wear more makeup, but I still write on my basic principles: there is a lot more girls can do to look good than just makeup. I go to a uniform school now, so you can expect so posts on how to make a uniform look good, but also some normal outfit of the day posts. I can't wait to get back into blogging regularly again.

These are so good, although some people hate them and others beg me for them. They taste very unique and organic. Not bitter like green tea, but sweet.

My Review

April Favorites

Sorry they're a bit late, but i've been busy working on my new project: dog breeding. I have a tiny little male poodle mix that I think is so cute and I love puppies so I decided to breed him. Don't worry, I've been researching this for years and consider myself quite the expert. :) To learn more about this go to myhammys.blogspot.com (I also had a litter of eleven hamsters). This is my first favorites post so it will include everything I like, not just the ones I discovered this month.

The first one is Teavana's Green Tea Mints. http://bit.ly/c1ZOPq These taste sooooo good, not bitter like real green tea but kind of sweet and organic. It also really freshens your breath. They were having a sale at my store and the mints were $1.89 each because they didn't know whether they would be re-stocked or not. Fortunately they have them again. Unfortunately the prices are back to $3.65. But if you want to buy them online they're on sale right now.

The second one is Burt's Bees Lip Shimmer. http://bit.ly/MLt9j I really love this company because they have cute packaging, good smells, and are organic. This lip gloss has that cooling mint and is VERY sparkly so its definitely not for you if you don't like glitter. I got it in Champagne, which looks like a light pink but is really just glitter. I also tried it out on my eyelids today and it looked and felt good, not too sparkly or sticky. But it did also have the same cool effect on my eyes which, which felt kind of interesting. I love this because it is just easy and quick to use.

The third one is Clinique's Blushwear Cream Stick. http://bit.ly/6YprAy I have it in Glow Blush. My mom got it as a sample and gave it to me, so I have a mini version, but it still has lasted a really long time. I used as an eyeshadow until I looked at the bottom and realized it was a blush. The color is looks kind of orange-ish, but goes on kind of pink and sparkly. I only use this April to September.

Because it's so...glowy!

The fourth one is the Aveda Caribbean Therapy Body Cream. http://bit.ly/9Y3ShL I got this as a free sample (I know, another one) from an email that I signed up to get as part of the mailing list. It smells SOO good and is cute to carry around.

The last one is bit.ly Just look that up on the address bar and you'll come to a site where you can enter a link and it will automatically make it shorter. See above.

Well that's it for now. See ya

The Strike

Hey guys! I didn't go to school today because of the strike in my school district. Instead, I went to see the Bounty Hunter with my friend Nika. Movie tickets are getting really expensive! We went to the 1 o'clock showing and it cost $10! And the smallest size popcorn cost $6. Also, you know Fern Arable in Charlotte's Web? Well, I just learned that "arable" means "good for growing crops" and I just thought that it was funny that their name was Arable and they were farmers. My dog also got a haircut that makes him look exactly like a poodle. I had no idea his nose was so long! I had an audition for H&M on Saturday. It was different from the others I've been to. It was like a photoshoot and I did cartwheels while the photographer took pictures. Well, I better get to bed because I have to go to school tomorrow even though the strike is still going on. Sorry for not posting that much. I always think that it takes a lot more time than it does. Remember, you can always email me at missiemayarose@gmail.com. Remind me to post or tell me what you think of my recent posts.

PS: I got my own computer!!! It's a desk top, though, and no webcam. :( It's a Mac OS X

Long Absence

Hi guys, sorry for being so AWOL. I had an okay spring break, we didn't go anywhere big just the mall, and the beach. I also went to see How to Train Your Dragon, which was pretty good. The animation was amazing and the story made sense until the last bit when Hiccup's father said that he was not his son. My parents also got a bed from Z Gallerie. It was the floor model and on sale.

I also went to the dentist, found out I had a cavity (my first in six years!). Oh yes, I went to the doctor. At the end of the appointment, my mom said she never wanted to take me again. The reason is, I had to get three shots and it took twenty minutes. And that is because I have a severe phobia of needles. It's true, my dad believed me.

Maya Rose Organics

Hello all! I have discovered a line of ORGANIC cosmetics called, guess what, MAYA ROSE. YES YES YES!!! I can hardly believe it but it's true. I HAVE to have something from there. The trouble is, the prices aren't listed. As you probably know, anything over $20 dollars is out of my budget. Oh well, I guess it will be a birthday present (or splurge!). mayaroseorganics.com There is also a boutique called Maya Rose Boutique. I had no idea there were so many "Maya Rose"'s. http://www.mayaroseboutique.com/home.php Too bad it's in England. Maybe I'll go if I get into Oxford (my dream college). There is also a company called Princess Maya's Rose Parties, which throw spa parties for girls. http://www.mayarosesparties.com/ One more thing, (well, actually, two) I have to go to the doctor tomorrow for my check-up and I'm SUPER scared. I guess I have to get like four shots. LAST THING, I am really liking Anthropologie. I was looking on their website and there's some cool stuff (only a little overpriced. Who would pay $5,000 dollars for a bed?) Well, bye!
