Hi everyone!

Sorry again for my absence. I was planning to do so many blog posts and didn't know where to start. I was going to do a review on Confess by Colleen Hoover but I read it so long ago I ended up forgetting a lot of the details.

So last weekend Gremlin ended up running out from my yard while I was playing on my phone. She wasn't wearing a collar at the time so I panicked. I was very scared that someone might have been driving by and just picked her up. I took my bike and looked around for her but couldn't find her. I was at this park when I saw this girl in her car driving by and her window was open so I asked her if she had seen a small black dog. She said she hadn't but could help me drive around and look for Gremlin. I was so grateful for her help and after a while she came driving back and Gremlin was with her.

I was so touched by her kindness especially since I had been looking for Gremlin for around an hour. I didn't even know this girl but she took time out of her schedule to help me, which I am so thankful for.

I guess what I'm trying to say through this blog post is that random acts of kindness can really help someone out. And always keep your dog's collar on! I often take off Gremlin's collar because I feel like it's uncomfortable for her. I've learned my lesson.

So that's all to this blog post I just wanted to share this little touch of kindness I experienced. Thanks for reading!

Hi everyone,

Today I'll be talking about Hopeless by Colleen Hoover. I'm currently reading Losing Hope and I'll be doing a review on it as well if that is something you guys would like to see. This is a new adult book, which is not a genre I've read much of because I don't really like this genre too much. When I first decided to read this book, I didn't even know what the new adult genre is and I felt uncomfortable reading a lot of the scenes in this book, haha.

This book has a very specific plot so I don't want to give to much away. Basically this book is about a girl named Sky who makes out with a lot of guys but she doesn't feel anything. Just numbness. She meets a guy that she finally feels attraction towards and she's confused why she feels that way. The book has a lot of twists and turns so if you don't like the sound of this book from the description I gave, you still might enjoy reading it. I can't really talk about the rest of this book because it will give away the story but overall I really liked this book. It was very emotional and had lots of heartbreaking scenes. There are a lot of things that I was not expecting in this book. Out of 10 I would give it an 8.

So go ahead and give this book a read and come back and finish the rest of this blog post. I actually started to work on this blog post a week ago but I got so busy I forgot to finish it. However now that it's my spring break I'm going to get more posts up and running. I've also finished reading another one of Colleen Hoover's books titled Confess so I will definitely be posting a book review for Confess soon. Thanks for reading!

Hi everyone,

So I did a quick blog post about the Germanwings Flight 4U9525 on Etherealm but I also wanted to mention it in my blog post for today. I doubt any of the family members of the victims involved are reading this, but I wan to say my heart goes out to you. I am utterly horrified by this tragedy and I am praying for all of the family members. I cannot even begin to imagine the pain felt by the families who have been affected. I am completely bewildered and disgusted by the actions of the co-pilot. This tragedy that killed 150 lives cannot be called a suicide. The idea of getting on a plane now is terrifying.

I hope everyone is sending love and encouragement to the families who lost children, parents, and siblings. To the people who lost friends and lovers. This should have never happened.

Hi everyone!

It has been a really long time since I've done a book review on this blog. I recently did a review on Etherealm about To All the Boys I've Loved Before by Jenny Han which I adored. I loved that book so much I wanted to read more of Jenny Han's books. So I downloaded The Summer I Turned Pretty onto my phone. I read through the three books pretty quickly and today I'm doing a review on the final book in the trilogy, It's Not Summer Without You.

This trilogy was very interesting and I had to know what happened next. However, I really did not particularly like Belly, the main character. I found her somewhat exasperating and could not relate to her thoughts. Especially in this last book, Belly was driving me crazy.

There are many positive reviews about this book so I would recommend to read it. I personally love Jenny Han's writing style. Click here to see my review on To All the Boys I've Loved Before which has become one of my favorite books.

So that's all to the non spoiler section of this review. Give this book a read and then continue the rest of this blog post. Thanks for reading!

Hi everyone,

A couple weeks ago on Lantern Festival day, I went with my friend to Little Tokyo (the same people I went with on the hiking trip). We walked around and also went to a museum nearby later in the day. At the end of the day we walked over to this beautiful bookstore which had many vintage and old books.

For dinner I had curry udon and it gave me a horrible stomach ache. I think I overstuffed myself in an attempt to finish the entire bowl, which was huge.

I haven't done a photography blog post in a while so hope you enjoyed looking through the pictures even though they aren't the best quality.

Thanks for reading!

Hi everyone!

Today I'll be talking about how I made this photo collage. Also, sorry about the blurry pictures and bad lighting; it was a cloudy day. :P

I used two thumbnails and stuck them in my wall. I eyeballed the distance and the height from the ground when I placed the two pins. It would probably be better to use stickers as markers to know where to put your pins so your wall isn't covered in hole. Next I used the string that I got from Michael's and tied it around the pins. I kept the ends of the string short but you could tie the remainder into a bow or leave it hanging.

The little decorative clips I used to hang the pictures are from Marshall's I believe and have cute little designs. I've hung up some pictures I took with my Polaroid camera, a picture of my family, and a drawing of Finn and Jake my friend drew me. Here's a link to her Instagram account.

So that's pretty much it. It's very simple to do and is a great way to display photos. You could also add multiple strings of photos or play around with the shape of the string. I think adding some fairy lights would be really pretty as well.

Thanks for reading!
