Seventh grade had given me many fun memories, but these are three. My favorite CORE memory is when we did flashlight Friday. It was really fun when we were able to read in the dark with flashlights. I already love reading and it was so much more fun with the flashlights. My second favorite memory was at lunch when my friends and I were playing volleyball. It was really fun running around trying to hit the ball. Some people purposely fell trying to hit the ball which made it funny and more fun. And lastly my memory is the color run. It was so much walking around the track with my friends while getting color thrown at us. I can’t wait for the color run next year!

Accomplishments: This week my goal was to get a smooth base coat, with a French tip, and a 3D flower. I got a smooth base coat and a decent flower, but I couldn’t put top coat since I forgot my UV light. This morning I forgot to bring my nail file, nail clippers, glue, and the UV light so I had to make some adjustments. Instead I put a white dot in the middle and six more other dots all around to make a flower without the 3D flowers I brought.
struggles: some struggles I had was thinking that the base coat already dried but it didn’t and I would have to restart since I touched it while it was still wet.
Adjustments: I had to make flowers with the nail polish since I forgot some stuff at home and I had to leave the nail the size it was since I forgot my clippers and nail file. Since it was the last week to work on my goal I’ll practice at home with the actual goal I had.

A woman that has impacted my life is my mom. My favorite things about my mom is that she’s the best mom in the world, she’s caring, strong, a good listener, and generous. My mom makes the best food every single night for dinner. Even when she doesn’t feel well she still cooks for us. She’s also very generous and gives me money when I ask. She takes me and my sisters to get our nails done with her and we have a lot of fun. She also helps out her siblings a lot since she’s the second oldest. So when she helps out her siblings I get to hang out with my cousins which is always fun. She lets my cousins have sleepovers every single weekend and it’s always a lot of fun. She’s caring because she buys me whatever I want when we go out. She’s also very strong. She’s had three surgeries this year alone and still manages. So overall I’m super thankful for my mom.

Accomplishments: this week I did a smooth base coat with the tiny beads I used last week. I used bigger beads this time and made a flower out of it. I did a nude base coat then added glue and put one gold bead in the middle and six silver beads around it to make a flower.
Struggles: this week I didn’t really have any struggles but I did have to wait for the base coat to air dry since it wasn’t a uv gel polish.
Adjustments: next time I won’t use regular nail polish instead I’ll use a uv gel polish that way I can cure it for thirty seconds instead of having to wait five minutes for it to fully dry.
Pick up next time: Next week I’ll try to work on my tri fold and try doing a smooth base coat with a decent French tip with the 3D flowers. I’ll do a light pink with a white French tip then a big pink 3D flower then add two more smaller beige flowers on the top and bottom of the big flower.

Twisted Lies

This month I read Twisted Lies by Ana Huang

Christian Harper is a billionaire CEO of a big security company, and the landlord of an apartment complex. He is known as a grumpy man who doesn’t have a soft spot for anyone. That was until he met Stella Alonso at a wedding. Stella Alonso is a social media influencer with a crazy stalker. He happens to own the building that she lives at but can no longer afford the place on her own after her roommate, Jules moves out. He tries to keep Stella close to him, so he makes a deal with her where she has to water his plants every week. While Christian tries to hide his feelings for Stella, Stella also has some problems herself. She has a stalker; he sends her creepy letters to her house and takes photos of her at places. They fake date to protect Stella and they both catch feelings which leads to a huge plot twist.

I liked this book because just like in the rest of the series, all the characters are so funny and have a great personality. It was very exciting because so many things would happen at once and keep you very interested into the book. The main characters are completely different and have different interests but they still make a great couple and keeps you interested to the book.

My favorite character from the book is Christian. Christian is my favorite character because he’s a cold hearted person and only has a soft spot for Stella. He has an attitude with everyone except for Stella. And when Stella and Christian broke up he had no contact with her so instead he wrote a letter to her for twenty days. In one of the letters he wrote: “I’m trying butterfly. I’m trying so hard. To stay away from you. To not think about you. To not love you. My life would be so much easier if I could move on, but I know I can’t.” That proved that Christian really changed for Stella and loved her even though he didn’t believe in love, that why he my favorite character.

My favorite quote from the book is “the day people stopped thinking they could change someone who didn’t want to be changed was the day fewer hearts got broken.” This is my favorite quote because it’s relatable to the things that happen in real life.

Accomplishments: This week I was supposed to do a smooth base and French tips, but I wanted to try something new and did 3D flowers into a French tip. It was really easy, but it did take some time. I did two flowers on the side and around four on the bottom. I did three different 3D flowers into French tips, I did yellow red a pink.
Struggles: Some struggles I had was adding the really tiny gold beads into the middle of the flower to make it look more like a real flower. They were super tiny and I would often lose them and have to get new ones. When I set them onto the flower they would stick onto my finger and wouldn’t stay.
Adjustments: Next time I’ll either get bigger beads or not add them at all, that way I don’t spend most of the time struggling on adding all of them.
Next time I’ll try to get a smooth base coat plus a French tip and more 3D flowers.

I wasn’t here on Friday when we worked on our 20% project, so I did it at home. Accomplishments: This week I accomplished getting a smooth base coat with a french tip and a flower. I did a full set at home and did gel-x nails on only my left hand. I did a nude color base with white french tips and added a flower on my middle finger. I did square nails this time since it’s easier doing french tips on square shaped nails. Struggles: some struggles I had was making all the french tips and flowers all the same size. Again, some circles were bigger than others. Luckily, I didn’t have any struggles with the base coat. Adjustments: next time I do a full set I will try going for an easier inspo that way I don’t have to spend a long time struggling with a certain part and back tracking me. Next week I’ll be trying to get a smoot base coat and french tips. Thank you for reading my blog!

My favorite room in my home is my parent’s room. Normally I would pick my room, but I’ve been spending most of my time in my parent’s room recently and I like to think of it as my room now. It’s my favorite room in the house because it has a king bed and I get it all to myself. I do my homework there and watch movies through the TV and my laptop. My second reason is because no one can bother me while I’m in there. My siblings are always in their room while my mom is in her office since she works from home, and my dad gets home a little later so I get it all to myself. I get peace and quiet for at least three hours. Then my third reason is because it’s useful. My dad has a little stool near his nightstand and it has a secret compartment. I hide all my candy there and it makes a very useful candy stash. It’s very helpful so my siblings don’t steal my stuff and candy since they rarely go into my parent’s room. And that’s why my parent’s room is my favorite out of all the rooms in my home!

Successes: This week I accomplished doing a flower. I practiced the night before on doing a flower and it was surprisingly easy. I had a nail brush with a metal circle tool on the end. I put one dot in the middle and then six around it. I put three flowers on two almond nails then another three on two square nails. To practice more I used my friend Darlene to practice on and did a white base with one dark blue flower. Struggles: Some struggles I had was making all of the circles the same size. Some circles were bigger than others and it made the flower look weird.
Adjustments: Something I could do to make the circles the same size is getting a nail plate and put nail polish on there. I can dip the metal circle brush into the plate to get the same amount of polish each time to make them the same size. I accomplished doing a french tip and a flower. Next week I want to get a smooth base cost and add and french tip and flower.

Everybody knows that when you’re having a sleepover with your cousins it’s the best. There’s so much to do and talk about and doing an all nighter makes it even more fun. My favorite cousins were coming over to sleepover since it was spring break. One of my cousins were on spring break and the other two weren’t but since it was a Friday night it was okay for them to stay over. My mom bought loads of snack for us and we made a whole list of things to do while they were over. We were going to play Roblox, watch a movie, bake, do an all nighter, talk, and stay in call with some of our friends all night. We did most of the things on our list but not all of them. We called our friends and we were playing Roblox together for two hours until we decided to watch a movie. We watched two movies and ate so much candy. My younger sister Sophie was the first one to fall asleep and the rest of us were still wide awake. Then I was on call with my friend Azzy and Kyle while we watched my cousin Camila go crazy and be her weird crazy self. And then we fell asleep at late three so none of us did an all nighter except my cousin Jade who stayed up until eight playing Roblox.
