Book Quest: Hush, Hush series by Becca Fitzpatrick

Crescendo by Becca Fitzpatrick

Nora and Patch have been together(finally!!yay!!). But something had changed after that night she said "I love you". Patch seems keeping distance from Nora and worse, he's getting close to her enemy, Marcie! But the situation keeps getting worse as Nora discovers the identity of her dad's killer…


My rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars

  It was really good and exciting to read if only my classmate just kept herself from spilling(spoilers!!) the whole story (though I am the one who convinced her to tell. Haha!!) . It was really, really good!! The twist and the scenarios seemed so real and imaginable. You will enjoy the moments of Nora and Vee with Marcie, so teen-age.

Beauty Charms: The Goodness of Tea




   
Whenever I drink tea, I feel so relaxed and stress-free. So I always drink tea after a week of school work or whenever I want a peaceful mind. Aside from that, I usually make a cup every morning (or evening) after I eat a lot because it feels so light in the stomach for it has no sugar( I don't put sugar, unlike other drinks that can't be drunk without sugar).  Do you know that there is another use of tea other than drinking it?

By having a tea bath.





    Yes, if there is milk bath then there is also tea bath. I actually saw the result on my li'l brother because since he was a baby my mother bathes him with tea. Now, he really has a fair, moisturized skin. I tried it too(but it is really hard to keep the routine since I go to school early in the morning), but now I am only doing it weekly. Whenever I take I tea bath, I feel so cleansed and rejuvenated, it really feels good!! Knowing the properties of tea as an anti-oxidant and a natural cleanser, it will make you feel more relaxed and stress-free as drinking it. It also removes blemishes on the skin. But be aware, it is not good in everybody. Some will feel too moisturized and sticky. But I can say that it has a good effect on the skin, especially on dry skin.  Plus it doesn't cost too much. A teabag can be used for a max of 5-7 baths( depends on the strength of the solution). Just dunk the teabag in a warm water until the color darkens(maybe 3 to 5 dunks).

Try it and see the result!!

   Taylor Jamison will run over the lives of the McKenna family to unveil their secret. But above all, he came for the reason that will change his life forever…

Love Charms: Is it real or just another crush?

"Love is in the air!"Oh wait..is it real? Or just another infatuation?  How to know if you're really in love? Check this out! :D

      I am a self-confessed romantic girl. Always believes in destiny.  Since I don't want to have a boyfriend yet, I just settled myself in having friends or crushing someone. But as the feeling begins, it's really hard to know if you're in love or infatuated, since they have almost the same effect on a person.  When you're in love the feeling takes time to develop, while a crush doesn't. Well let's say you have met this person for the first time. You might say you got "love struck" the first time you met, but as you see and know this person, the feelings get deeper that when you try to detach, it would be hard for you that crying is the least thing you can do. While infatuation gets the feeling instantly, and doesn't affect you much if it loses.

      Being in love takes a greater part of you that being infatuated. But that doesn't mean that you spend a lot of time stalking while your class is on(*laughs* did it sometimes haha!) or trying very hard to know his cell phone number or address! When you're in love you  tend to spend sometime improving a part of you that he likes. And just one hint of something will remind you of him. And you develop this kind of 'strange' feeling in your heart every time you have a glimpse of him, this feeling lingers.

    You take care of the one you love, while just concerned with your crush. Cooking his fave dish, or making sure he brings his umbrella for him not to get wet on a rainy season. On the other hand, you are just checking him out after he got sick for forgetting his umbrella.

    Most of all, being in love must make you feel better and happier. It must not lead you to low grades or irresponsibility, instead it will make you a whole lot more beautiful.

     Let love inspire you to do the right thing.

Lots of Love Charms,
