My Friends Babyshower

By the end of this month my good friend Savannah will hopefully have had her beautiful little girl, who she is deciding to name Grace-Jane Stokle.

We decided a few month back that we would organise a surprise baby shower, we all decided to chip in with money and buy specific things for the night, such as food, cake, baby essentials etc..

I contacted her Mum and she agreed it would be a fantastic idea, so we arranged it at her house and ensured she was out of the house so we could set up! We arrived just in time before she came in with her Step Dad and she was so over whelmed by the surprise that she hid in the door way and cried!

(This is Savannah, the image isn't very clear, sorry about that!)

Once she calmed down and shouted at us for being so sly, she became overly thankful for it all and we all couldn't be happier to see her happy. We were just happy that we didn't ruin the surprise before hand!

We then sat her down and gave her her presents from us all, we had bought essentials such as lots of baby wipes, 'bibs', 'dummies' (Americans call them pacifiers), plenty of baby grows and a lovely big pink snow suit!  She was so happy that we had put in so much effort bless her.

After we all sat down and had a gossip, we ate a lot of the snacks that we had bought and her Mum had also put out some bits and bobs! We sat and talked about what's going to be happening when she has Gracie and how we are all excited to be non-related Aunties! It was such a lovely evening and before everyone left we cut the cake we had bought her and all had a little laugh about Savannah being unsafe with a 'big knife' yet she is having a baby! Ha-Ha! 

Me and two of my friends who also have blogs; Zhiyin and Katie, decided instead of getting a taxi home that we would be adventurous and pay £1.20 on the train to travel 1 stop. We waiting for at least half an hour in the freezing cold but it was fun so it was worth it!

We are all so excited for baby Gracie to come along so we can spoil her!

I know this is a random blog guys but I thought it would be a nice one to do!

Let me know what you guys have been up to over this weekend!

See you all next week, I am attempting to blog every Friday, wish me luck!

Book Review: Girl Online by Zoe Sugg

Hey All, I hope 2015 is going well for you so far! Let me know in the comments what exciting things you'll be doing this year!
I've decided I'm going to upload every Friday if I can! Today will be a book review on Girl Online by Zoe Sugg.


Girl Online by Zoe Sugg.

So I got this book as a present for christmas and was so excited to get started as I was waiting for it since Zoe brought it out at the end of last year!
I enjoyed the book so much that I finished it in 2 nights and that's good for me considering I tend to be distracted by the internet a lot.

I loved how you could imagine the characters in detail and you felt some sort of emotion towards them. I won't give any spoilers just incase you're going to give it a read!
I love how the main character Penny portrayed some real big issues like anxiety, which was really effective considering Zoe suffers from anxiety attacks and so it was a chance for us to some what experience what goes on in a persons mind when this happens and through the story it gives advice to Penny, but also to the audience on how to overcome attacks. So I thought this was really effective, well done Zoe!

I love any story with some sort of romance in it, I'm always left feeling like I need the character, like I finished this book and automatically thought 'I need to find myself a Noah!!'. Yeah I liked how there was so many different friendships and relationships going on throughout and it also hit the subject of growing away from friends, which can be a real big issue with teenagers. I know it was for me as I grew away from my best friend before my GCSE's, but that's a different story!

I loved how Penny's blog posts throughout the book hit social events that happen in our own life, like I said; falling out with friends, meeting your first love and everyone has them embarrassing times but unfortunately not all of us are lucky enough to fly away to New York like in Girl Online.

The chapters throughout the story were easy to read and they didn't go on for too long so I could finish a chapter, go make a cup of tea, then settle back down and start again, instead of spending ages reading because then you lose your interest. Also I enjoyed how some parts were written as a blog so we could really get involved with the story like we were Penny's viewers!

The cover and design of the book was gorgeous, I loved the colour and the images on the front of the book they were immediately enticing and as soon as I walked into WHSmith I could instantly see Girl Online on the shelves because it stood out.

I know there was a lot of rumours about Girl Online being ghost written but I honestly believe that if it was or not, that Zoe worked really hard on it and who cares if it was ghost written, it's a bloody amazing book!! I'm proud of Zoe Sugg either way, she did something she's always wanted to do and I think she is an amazing author.

I would recommend Girl Online to anyone, it's mainly a teen book but i'm sure a young adult would enjoy it too. I'm not sure any males would want to read it though unless they are the hopeless romantic and have a big heart.

So there you go, let me know what you thought of Girl Online and any books you think I should do a review on.
