A little bit of...John Green!!!

Yaaaaaaaa oh yeah we are at the time that everyone has always been waiting for like forveeeeeeeer. IT'S ALIYO-YO REVIEWING TFIOS AND PAPER TOWNS!!!!!!!!!! (The book versions) ok. Just to let you know, I won't spoil the ending for you because...
1. I'm not a human spoiler alert.
2. This is the ONE book where everyone is just like 'OMG OMG OMG OMG DONT TELL ME THE ENDIIIIIIIIIIING!!!! So yeah.
3. I hate human spoiler alerts.
4. Just for them three people that know who they are (everyone else is probably really confused) Yo quiero marcha marcha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So yea. I'm doing paper towns first. Because I'm doing best till last. You gotta admit. Everyone knows that tfios is better.

So anyway...

-Paper Towns!

Paper towns is an engaging novel told from the perspective if a boy called Quentin or 'Q'. Now Q's next door neighbour goes to the same school, but hasn't socialised with him since they both proved witness a dreadful scene at the age of ten. This is all momentarily changes when Margo (the neighbour) comes knocking at the window, requesting Q's help. Q helps her, but at what price?

Age range: I would rate this for readers aged 12-18, depending on their maturity level. I'd say the average age to read this would be 14.

Characters: The characters we meet are different from most as:
1. They are not fairy tale perfect characters: they swear, etc.
2. They are not going through a fairy tale love story. Not telling you why though!
3. They do normal things. Like, bath. I know that's a weird thing to put in a book review, but it's true.
Also, you somehow managed to become fully indulged in the character's life as they don't do what you want them to you and you're just like do it or I'll kill you in your sleep. Like that clown on the Instagram post that's really fake.

Rating: I love this book, but in some parts you can't really connect. 9/10!!!

The fault in our stars!!!! (Tfios)

I don't know where to start. Tfios is a tear invoking novel that leads you through the life of two cancer patients and their gripping, imperfect romance. Meet Hazel and Augustus, two teenagers that are far from perfection, but still manage to tell a beautiful, true to life romance, of which we can all relate to some aspects, despite not going through the situation ourselves. This story is narrated by Hazel Grace Lancaster, a cancer patient who appears to have nothing to work for in life, and sees herself as a threat to herself, and others around her. This is until Hazel meets Augustus at support group. As their love grows stronger, their life grows weaker. Will they survive?

Age range: Ok, apart from the occasional swear, it's actually of. I'd rate it 12 and up still though, because it requires a strong understanding.

Characters: The beauty of the characters in tfios is that they're so...normal. You can completely relate to Hazel and Gus and Isaac, which is rare in books. They're not sympathy-seekers, and they're hilarious. They're...just...human. But despite all of this, their amazing tale holds breathtaking moments that are more than hard to imagine. They have a love stronger than all others despite their weaknesses. They are truly inspirational characters who have made every teen acknowledge the effects of cancer and how truly anyone is eligible to have cancer.

Rating: I don't even know if I have to say this. It would be a crime to not say 10/10, and I would never even consider it. Like, damn, this is the best book...it deserves it's place at number 1. 1000000000000000000000000000000/10

Well that's all for today! Thank you for almost 500 views!!!

A little bit of....birthdays!

You actually don't realise how tempted I am to stab someone right now. Oh, yeah, it's aliyo-yo. So basically, X-Men part two, which I spent a whole day doing, just deleted itself . Yaay! No. Also, this post deleted itself about 7 times too. So I'm.....FUUUUUURRRRIIIIIOOOOOOOOSSSSS. But I'm gonna try to do this without smashing a window or anything, like, illegal and stuff.
So, sorry guys, but sing X-Men dofp part 2 deleted itself, I won't be posting it today, as it was really long, and I can't re-write it in this time (sorry, I'm more annoyed than you) I might post it sometime this week though.

Today I am doing a song review on 'It's my birthday,' will.i.am and Cody Wise. So I'm gonna split this review into two parts, one about the two guys, and the other about the song. Yeah. On the verge of smashing my window two...or my phone, so sorry if you guys don't get a full review, and if I don't get a phone anymore.

Part 1: The song-singersssss????
Yeah, anyway, I think that will.i.am and Cody both pull of a great performance for this song, and obviously they are both brilliant performers anyway so that's cool. If you haven't watched the video, check it out at http://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=kp&v=JuM7hObGjWI and you'll see what I mean. Also check out will.i.am in X-Men origins: Wolverine. Will.i.am acts great in it! So anyway, I think it's clear that the performers put a lot of effort into performing the piece (but not particularly singing it, the dancing and acting is a bit extravagant.) Also, their harmonies together create a soothing tone, and it's all performed well to be honest. Yeah. The song doesn't really be fine their voices though, but I guess that's me being picky again.performance overall is 7 and 1/2.

Part 2: The song!!!!! Yeeeeaaa
Ok, I'm gonna start my song review with the bad's and then the good's at the end. Soo...
-It makes you crave for money. They spend the whole song telling you that they're going to spend their money but I DONT HAVE ANY MONEY!!!!!! (Cry)
-It's really repetitive
-It's not your birthday.
Good:
-Really catchy tune
-The song's really easy to learn because there hardly any lyrics so there's none of them awkward moments when your friends all know the lyrics and you don't and you're just like: Nananana dadadadada lalalalalala. Yeah, whoooo. Well, I know I do that anyway.
-When it's your birthday can you please just go to blue after with balloons and badges and just walk around singing this at a the top of you rounds like a boss because if you do you are officially awesome!!! So I'm rating the actual song 8 1/2 out of ten.

Overall the songs an 8!!! That's all for today! Sorry for the delayed posting, but be sure to check out our:

A little bit of...friendship! (Part 1) By Aliyo-yo

Hey. Aliyo-yo here! So if you haven't noticed, which would be kid of alarming if you haven't... This post is about friendship. I know. It sounds like something a six year old would do, but it's not really cheesy, because we're basically defining our friends' faults. That's pretty ruthless...yeah...it actually doesn't sound friendly at all. Let's reset. Hey citizens of earth! Today we are reviewing friendship! I'm going to review three types of friends, and you can see if you're like any of them. If you are, comment which one you are. Or don't. Yeah. Whatever. So, as I probably wasn't saying, by first friend type is...(dramatic silence)

The like seriously really really truly queen of dramatictown at it's dramaticest times one!!!

Ok, these are the type of people that have conversations with you like this:

You:Hey

Them:Hi

You:What's up?

Them: Oh, my, GOSH!!!!!!!!!!!!! Why does everyone keep on asking me what's up? Like honestly I'm fine you're just making everything worse!!!

Or...

You:You're being annoying

Them: Seriously, like, since I've met you you've just been bullying me and you hate me and everyone hates me and I might as well just just not ever talk to you again because you wouldn't care because obviously you hate me hater!

And you're just kinda like: Um yeah no. But they just keep on going on and on and on about how much you hate them and you've always been a bad friend to them. And after a minute of two, you just start either getting upset with them or yourselves. But I wouldn't blame them to be honest, because there are people that are really sensitive, and they probably don't know that they're being over-dramatic. Plus, a lot of these people are actually really nice.And it's like...imagine you have an apple. And inside the apple there are 2 million and one seeds. (It wants to become president! It is a very ambitious apple :-) ) And you give the like seriously really really truly queen of dramatictown in its dramaticest times one, a million seeds, and yourself a million and one seeds, and they tell you that you only care about yourself and you've never cared about your friends and that you hate the world. To be honest, she'll probably tell you that the world hates you as well, which may or may not be true (I'm joking about that, please don't be offended.). Ok, I don't they'll say that, but...wait. This sounds A LOT like me. I'm not even joking. I only just noticed. Haha. I'm actually really dramatic. Well this is kind of awkward. So, I don't exactly know if I'm getting my point across, but they can be irritating IF they're not generally a nice person either. But depending if the person is nice, you can get over this easily. Everyone I know who is like this (not many) are really nice. So having a friend like this, I rate 6 and 1/2 or 7, but it varies depending on how nice in general the person is.

Soooooooo...friend number dos! (That's two in French. Oh yeah. I know MULTIPLE LANGUAGES. I'm one of THOSE.) So, second friend is...

The impulsive lier one!!!

Well, we can't really say that we all don't lie, so I'm going to give an example of an impulsive lier, which is actually really impressive and intellectual. (I don't even know what intellectual means) So anyway... The example.

We are going to say that to cry is to lie. Now some people just cry now and then. But then SOME PEOPLE JUST CRY ON DEMAND EVERY SECOND OF THE DAY!!!!!!!!!! You feel me...or nah? (Sorry, the pressure was too much. You mad...or nah? Sorry. I'm stopping now. In shame.) So anyway, the impulsive lier one just lies whenever and about whatever. And it's really confusing, and annoying (sometimes), because most of the time, the impulsive lier one is REALLLLLLLLLYYYY bad at lying, and it's actually pretty sad. And as we all know, telling lies or spreading gossip can ruin friendship, which is obviously why society does it. But still, it messes up friendships. Examples of convo's with impulsive liers:

You:Hi

Them:Hey

You:What are you doing?

Them:Oh I was just...um singing...yeah...singing.

You:When have you ever sung before?

Or...

You:WHERE WERE YOU ON FRIDAY 13th AT 8:00???????

Them:Ummmmmmmmmmmm.......just.....layyyyyyiiiinggg.

So, as you can see, this can cause friendship issues. The thing is though, even if you're friends with an  impulsive lier one, you can never really be close to them, because you never know if they're lying or not. So ratings. Um, 4 and 1/2 maybe. Yeah. Yeah. It depends if they lie to you or not, or just to like specific people,

Last but not least. I hope.

The Generally Actually Crazy One

I'm really biased, because all of my best friends are extremely crazy, and so am I. But crazy friends are really...something extraordinary! (I'm thinking of the song...anybody?) but crazy friends ARE really fun, as they're just generally crazy. Convo's:

You:Helllooooooo!

Them: Did you know that I love banana's?

Or...

You:He-

Them: UUUUUNNNNNIIIIICCCCCOOOORRRRNNNNSSSS!!!!!!!

I talk from experience. So I love all my crazy friends, and you have such a great, lively time with them. 10!!!! (Aaaaaaaawwwww!)

A little bit of...philosophy

 A little bit of...philosophy

Hi! Welcome to a little bit of little people! This is our first post! (Yaaaaaay!) I'd like to say thanks for the 5 views we have so far (To be honest I think about 4 of them was us...haha) Anyway, right now it's Aliyo-yo blogging...and maybe Hannie when she wakes up...? (Subtle much) Ok, back to the topic... Our first post is... Philosophy!!! (The beauty brand, not, like the subject....yeah...because....I...don't do philosophy. The subject. Haha.) So I only have three items from Philosophy, but I LOVE all of them. I have the Sugar Plum Fairy set (lip gloss and shower gel), and Sugar Sprinkles.

So First, I'm gonna start with sugar sprinkles, since the others are kind of together.

Ok, so, just in case you haven't already figured it out, sugar sprinkles is a lip gloss. I find the colour very soothing. It is not a solid colour, but a translucent mix and smells divine. It is pretty much what it says...sugar sprinkles. What I really like about this is how it defines your lips in a way that doesn't make it easy to realise is there, but also manages to taste...and look like a real sweet treat. However, this is quite gloppy, and I wouldn't advise this for wearing to school as it can get stuck to your hair, etc. and can therefore result in giving you a REALLY smudged lip gloss, and probably, a REALLY confused teacher. (Once I wore this to a disco, and clumps of my hair stuck to it like a magnet, and I almost started choking on it. It was slightly embarrassing, but at the time, I just thought it was funny.) I would advise to apply a small amount of this if aiming for a natural look. Remember though, this is a lip gloss that stays thick, and if you apply too much, will end up in lumps, and will just feel disgusting. But overall, I would say, 7, 7 and 1/2 out of 10.

Next! I'm going to to the sugar plum fairy lip gloss, because it is my personal favourite, and I really wanna write this one, like, now.

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay! I LOVE sugar plum fairy, so my review might (but just might) be a bit biased because of that. But I will be as honest as possible, because I know that sugar plum fairy over here does have its faults. As you've probably noticed by now, while I was emphasising my love for sugar plum fairy (or sugar in general to be honest) that this lip gloss is a translucent purple, glaze lip gloss. I love the colour, (here comes the biased-ness. I know that's not a word. Or is it? I don't know. Don't judge.) because purple is like my favourite colour (to all you purple fans out there: let's party) and I've always wanted a purple lip gloss. However, they always make it look like I've just been eating ink. But this gives a tint of purple, and highlights your lips in a subtle way. In other word, this gloss doesn't look like a pen threw up on me! (This is your cue to cheer. Haha...No.) Again, repeating from above, this is also a thick gloss, but in my opinion it is slightly lighter than sugar sprinkles, and from experience, it feels lighter on your lips than sugar sprinkles. This may-strike that-does-sound really weird, but it is as if sugar plum fairy gives of a positive vive...aura. No I do not believe in magic, and I am sane. It sounds really weird doesn't it? Wow...it's like our first post and I bet people already think I'm a psycho. Let's forget that sentence and continue. I of feel however, that this is a very sickly lip gloss-not taste, but it smells very sweet and strong for a lip gloss. For the body wash, it is nice, but for the gloss, it is slightly over powering. Also, i find that sugar plum fairy is very sticky and often leaves a sticky effect on your lips once finished applying. Once again, just my opinion. I'm going to give this an 8  and 1/2 out of 10.

Last Philosophy item today is...(virtual drum roll-my virtual drum roll will go viral, one day, it will.) SUGAR PLUM FAIRY SHOWER LOTION!!!!! 

This body wash is one of my favourites, along side the all time best Snow Fairy, Lush, and Body Shop Peach shower lotion. However, I am going to start my review with a critique. It might seem pathetic, but to me it is important: THE BOTTLE IS SO HARD TO SQUEEZE! I'm not even joking, like, you can laugh, bit when your standing there in the shower, and you have to call your mum to squeeze out your shower gel. Then it is not funny. I literally have to put it on it's side on the floor and put my hole body's weight on it to get any out. But once you get past that (if you ever do...haha) it is a brilliant shower gel. If you are someone who's all about after scents, like me, you should appreciate how the scent of sugar plum lingers there for hours still smelling beautifully fresh. I've actually had people, well after an hour had passed, asking me what perfume I was wearing, because it smelt really good. (Sorry, but how manny times have I said really in this post now? It might be like, 3 or something, but to me it seems like a million) Now, in my opinion, that's what every shower gel should do. Provide a lasting fragrance that doesn't just stay while the hot water's on. *hint, hint* other shower gels, model pupil here! I am giving this an 8, possibly 8 and 1/2, brought down by it's  squeezing abilities. (Honest, it's serious)

So...yeah, that's all for today. We'll really appreciate it if you keep up to date with us, and +1. See you tomorrow! Or maybe later today! Thanks!
