--Mako Mermaids-- By: Danielle



Hey y'all!

Remember how I wrote about my favorite show, H2O: Just Add Water? Well, I have EXCITING news for H2O fans! Netflix made a spin-off series called Mako Mermaids!!!


There is alot, and I mean alot of new things in this show. The characters are different and the plot is different. The setting is the same as H2O, though!



I have watched 3 episodes already. :) Tell me how you like it!

My Favorite TV Shows

Thanks for the idea, Danielle. :) And for everyone else who has been posting.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

I couldn't wait until Wednesday, so today I'm going to post about some of my favorite TV shows! And believe me, I have a lot!

(Not in any particular order.)


The X Factor
I watched the second season and really liked it!


Dancing with the Stars
I just recently watched the newest season and I sort of liked it. It helped that I knew two of the dancers, but it's not a favorites show of mine.


America's Got Talent
I just started watching the newest season with my sister and it's pretty entertaining!


The Amazing Race
My mom got me hooked a couple of years ago. I love this show!


Some of my favorites: What Not To Wear, Four Weddings, Extreme Couponing, Say Yes to the Dress, and Toddlers and Tiaras


America's Funniest Home Videos
The videos are so funny! :D I have been watching this show for about a year now and my whole family loves it!


American Idol
I love American Idol! I've been watching it for a couple of years now and someday I might audition!


Survivor
I watched two seasons with my parents and sisters and I really liked it!


H2O: Just Add Water!
Haha, I love this show! My cousin introduced me a couple years ago and now my sisters and I watch it on Netflix.


The Secret Life of the American Teenager
Recently, my cousin and I have been watching the first season of this show (mostly because Shailene Woodley stars in it). It's not that appropriate at points (it's TV-14), but it's very interesting!


And of course, good old Disney Channel. :) I actually didn't really get hooked until last June when I was bored and surfing through the channels. Good Luck Charlie is my favorite and I love some of the movies they have made!

What are some of your favorite TV shows?


P.S. You know the blogger, Storyteller? (Well, of course you know her. I mean, who doesn't? She's awesome!) If you hadn't heard, once she gets to 150 follows on her blog, she's going to reveal her name! :D So please go follow her HERE and spread the word! Thanks! :)

My Favorite TV Series

Hi! :D
Looks like no-one has posted {yet} for the day, so I wanted to entertain y'all. ;) Thanks Danielle for the idea. Looks like we are talking about movie series!

Actually, my family doesn't have a TV. But our grandpa does, and we defiantly use our share when we go see him. :}

Plus Netflix helps.... alot. ;)


It really inspires me to use coupons to buy AG things. Oh but wait. AG doesn't release coupons. :} We knew that. xD


This series is DA BOMB. We love it. I am so business minded. I was actually in a kid series. :)


Man, this show is addicting! I mean, how bad can people get?!?

Aside from that, we like:
Say Yes to the Dress
Hotel *h*e*l*l
Cake Boss
DC Cupcakes
AND SO MUCH MORE.

What about you?

--My favorite show-- By: Danielle



Hello bloggers!
Thanks so much for following our blog! That means a lot to us!

I have recently found this really great show called, H2O: Just add water. I would recommend this show for ages 10 and up. It's an Australian show that you can watch on Netflix or Youtube. It's really worth watching! 


Why am I looking at a picture of mermaids? Well, the show is about mermaids!
Three girls (Clea, Emma, and Rikki) who are best friends go to a hidden island called, Mako Island.

Mako Island
 The full moon passes over the island and they turn into mermaids. How cool is that? Not only are they mermaids, but they also have special powers! Whenever water touches them, they magically turn into mermaids!



I would love to be a mermaid! Would you want to be a mermaid?

Thanks for reading! Danielle

IT'S ALL ABOUT HOW YOU SEE YOURSELF THAT MATTERS??

I used to wonder about myself. Who was I? Surely not as pretty as some of the hottest movie stars. *sign*. I look at myself in the mirror again. BUT I realize I am unique, and pretty, even if it is in a weird sort of way. ;)

Love who you are! No one can take that from you.

Love yourself- purge your hate

My hair is dirty blond. It has a natural wave. I tire myself out trying to get my hair curly with a curling iron, it doesn't want to curl. xD And my hair looks horrible down. So in a bun it goes.

My eyes are a weird color. xD Like a sage blue, with some green.

BE UNIQUE people.

Here are some pretty people <3
{remember, we are all pretty, and we all deserve to have photos like this}

Fireworks, Feelings, & Thank You's

Fireworks
[photo via pinterest]

Hello my dear followers. :) How are you today? I hope your fourth of July was full of bright smiles and colorful fireworks. :)

My fourth of July was full of rain, Apple to Apples games, and early firework finales. Overall, I would say it was good. Even though it did rain on our parade--literally.

It's hard to think it's only been five days since the fourth. It feels like it's been a long and short time since our freedom day. Sounds weird, but isn't that what feelings are? Weird sensations that are classified by what we think they are. When sometimes, they mean something entirely different.

Alright, that's enough deep emotional stuff. Let's get down to business. I just wanted to thank you--the readers--for helping us--the author's--get this far. We have 110 beautiful followers. Over 18,750 pageviews. And 586 published comments. We wouldn't be this successful if it weren't for you guys. So thank you. For following, reading, and commenting. I'm sure I speak for all of us when I say we are blessed to have such amazing readers.

Here is a huge thank you, for helping us get this far in the blogging world.

Thank You
[hehe, literally]

I love you guys.
Thanks again for all the support. <3
