RLU - Island Style?

Hey everybody! 

BZ here, with another real life update. These seem to be popular, so while i'm taking a break from design showcases, i figured i'd give you guys these! So if you have seen my farms recently, you'd know I'm going on vacation! I leave in TWO DAYS for a twenty day long trip to the oh so lovely Caribbean.  If you guys want some updates during my trip, let me know by voting in the poll! 

Not much has happened this week, other than studying, studying and more studying! Today i had my very last exam of grade 11 - math. Currently I'm waiting and refreshing the page and hoping to magically see my math mark boost. I only need .8% in math to get honors, so i'm sure you can guess how anxious I am about it. 

Other than that, I went and got my nails done in a salon for the first time ever! Now i know that's probably not very exciting, but it was really cool! I got mint green gel nails with palm trees on them so they'll look super cute on the beach. As cool as it was though, I much prefer painting my own nails. I am a little obsessed with nail art; I own over 225 bottles, four seperate brush/dotting tool sets, ten stripers, and more. Think after the summer I'll go back to doing them myself, just cause it's cheaper and safer (for cheerleading). I think when I get back from my trip I'll get them done one last time. What color should I get? Leave a comment in my farm L'Heureux to let me know! 

Also, I went and saw The Fault In Our Stars. I really really really liked it, and before you all roll your eyes at me just know I read this book waaaaaaay back when it had first came out. So it's been a long wait and I was not disappointed! I had gone with a childhood friend that I hadn't seen in ages and it was so so great. 

All in all, a pretty basic week. I'm excited for my trip and if you guys want, I'll let you know all about it! 

Please make sure to go to my farm and request to have your designs showcased! I'm looking for active farmers, so just go ask! 

Until next time, 

Bluezebra!

RLU

Hey everyone! Another real life update for you! 

I am sorry to say this won't be the most cheerful of posts on my blog. Sorry that I've been slacking on you guys, but with exams starting, I've been a little bit distracted. Also, i'm running out of farmer's to showcase! If you would like to be showcased, leave a comment on my farm L'Heureux explaining why you feel like you should be showcased! 

So as of late I've been dealing with some very heavy stuff. This week the pastor at my school recently told us that he'd been rediagonosed with cancer. He has leukemia, and has told us that treatment won't be able to help him. This week at school began on a very sad note and on thursday morning, we were only brought more tragic news. A close friend of mine passed away after suffering from heart problems all his life. It's been a tough week for the whole student body, and on me. This devastating news on top of exam stress has been a lot to deal with. 

Now, on a less depressing note, this past friday was the premiere day for How To Train Your Dragon 2. I went and saw it with my best friend and it. Was. AMAZING. I laughed. I cried. I gasped and cried some more. I absolutely adore kids movies, and HTTYD has to be one of my absolute favorites (next to The Little Mermaid and Tangled ofcourse).  It was a great way to cheer myself up a little. 

Father's Day was yesterday and my dad and I went lawn bowling at our community center and then went home and had a Liam Neeson movie marathon as we do every year. I hope everyone had a wonderful father's day - and if you don't have a father figure present in your lives, i hope you were able to have a special day with someone dear to you! 

So in exactly ten days I will be leaving for a vacation to the Caribbean. During that time i won't be able to do design showcases, but i will try and put up a real life update if you guys want that? Let me know in the poll! 

Until next time farmers,

Real Life Update

Hey everybody! 

Welcome back to the blog! Just want to let everyone know that this week won't be a design showcase - I'll explain near the end of the post. This week will be a small update about me! 

First off, these past few weeks have been a bit wild. A couple of my good friend's had just had a break up, so all week i was consoling them. Funny enough they're already back together! XD Then, later on last week a new store in my favorite mall opened - Brandy Melville. I was SO EXCITED - it's a cute american clothing store that's totally Cali/Starbucks White Girly, but i love it all the same. The grand opening was last Friday and the line up to get in was insaaaane! Totally worth it though. Then I went to see the new X-Men movie and left the theater with my jaw on the ground in confusion! If you've seen it and stayed till the end, discuss with me on my farm. Then on Sunday I went to church and saw an African Children's Choir performance. They were absolutely adorable - a group of Ugandan children travelling the world and performing amazing cultural songs. Other than that, school is wrapping up, i'm applying for cheer jobs, and finals are looming over me! 

Speaking of finals, I'm going to be on a bit of a hiatus starting June 14th. I have finals coming up, one of them being a very important diploma exam, and i won't be able to post in that time. And my final exam is on the 25th, followed by my sports banquet on the 26th and then on the 27th i will be flying to the Caribbean! While I'm there I will try to put up some personal posts, but if a storm blows by and i miss a week it's cause the power went out! xp 

Regarding future blog posts, I've been asking for people to vote in the poll to let me know what they want in future. Personal posts (like this one i hope?), more design showcases, and more OQWs seem to be what y'all want! SO throughout the summer I will try to make a consistent posting schedule. When school lets out and i have nothing else to do I will try to churn out as many posts as I can. As for the Design Showcase posts, I need new farmers! If you want to be showcased, my only requirements are that you're nice and active. I will not be posting showcases of inactive farmers. Leave a comment on my farm L'Heureux saying you'd like to be featured and why, and maybe you'll see your farms on here! 

That's all for this week. Hope this satisfies all of you! Be back soon (I hope! x*)
