Review: The Fault in Our Stars by John Green [BOOK]

Title: The Fault in Our Stars
Author: John Green
Rating: 10/10

What I thought:
Me, Being only 13 while reading this, found a few parts difficult. I'm not very educated on cancers and all that stuff, but as I read on, the book became more clear to me, as of what was happening, and what it was all about. And now, after reading it, I do feel more educated actually, which is good I guess.
I finished the book last week, and oh my gosh, let me just say that it was perfect! I decided to start it just before school was out last June. It being August at the moment, you can see it took me a while to read. I didn't read it very often, but I always wanted to. I just never found the time though the activities and stuff that I do. I just read some nights, and when I was bored with nothing to do.
Okay, first. The way John Green writes-- He is an amazing writer! I have decided that he is my favorite author and that I absolutely love the formation he writes in. Its all amazing.
So, I heard about this book on Tumblr, actually, and everyone was going on about how amazing it was, and how it made them cry (which I thought was rediculous because I didn't think a book could make you cry), But I'll admit. I did cry a few times in the reading of this book.
I love Augustus Waters. He is just like, so perfect, and sweet and I love his sarcasm and literacy in the book. The end of the book kills me, which it probably did to every other person who read the book, and my stomach drops just thinking about it. But, it was very well put together and ended. Hazel Grace, who I also had a character interest in, was just like Augustus, which made them perfect. Everything was just perfect.
I did think the book was very depressing, but the most depressing thing about the book is after you read it, and you wish there was more. I seriously wish I could just read that book forever without it ever ending. It was so perfect, like I've already said that a million times, but you really don't understand my feelings until you read it. Although it was depressing, I feel like it was a good kind of depressing feeling, which sounds so weird but whatever. I get what I'm talking about.
I just want to read it again, which I can see happening in my future.
But, basically I just want to say that you need to read this book. Even if you hate reading, this book will seriously make you want to read. Over and over.

My favorite quote(s): "Okay" omg just kidding. But I had a few: "The marks humans too often leave are scars" & "My thoughts are stars I cannot fanthom into constellations"

Stormy Day Essentials!

Summer is filled with different weather, and when storms come around, theres not a better day to cozy up with some tea and a movie!

Here are some things to keep by your side on a stormy day:

Candles: If the power goes out, or you just want that rain smell out, use candles! My favorite scents from Bath & Body Works at the moment are: Londons Calling (tea and lemons); Pink Sangria (pink lemonaid); and Cafe Au Lait (cafe). 

Flashlight: Incase the power goes out, use a flashlight. You can get free flashlight apps on smartphones.

Movies: Pick out a few of your favorite movies from Netflix! A couple of my favorites are Keith (available on Netflix), and The Twilight Saga!

Books: Storms are a good time to catch up on some reading! My all-time favorite book is The Fault in Our Stars, which I am on chapter 22. I'll admit, I was crying earlier while reading it.

Snacks: Have your favorite snacks around, like goldfish crackers, popcorn, or fruit snacks! Its okay to eat a little unhealthy every once in a while!

Drinks: On a stormy day, the best cozy drinks you can find are tea or hot cocoa.

Phone: You always need your phone. Keep it by you so you can text your friends and see whats happening! If your out of power, this is a good thing to have for light sources!

Cozy clothes: Jump into some PJs or sweats, and lounge around for the day!

Galm Your iPhone Apps!

SIf your an iPhone user, you probably get tired of the same old, same old with apps. The basic facebook icon, and that twitter icon that just never changes.

I'll show you how to glam up your icons.. For free!

[My iPhone icon page]

As you can see, on my iPhone, my alls are all spiffy looking. I have different icons for ever app, and they are all unique. 

Heres how to get your icons glammed:

Step 1: download the free 'Cocoppa' app from the Apple App Store.

Step 2: You'll be asked to make an account on the 'Cocoppa' app. Easily make a account you will remember. Its free and takes only about 2 minutes!

Step 3: Once your in the app, you can start customizing. Pick an app you want to change the icon of, and open the 'cocoppa' app. Scroll all the way to the bottom of the home page of the app, and type in the name of the app your customizing. As you can see, I am customizing Youtube.

 

Step 4: Pick the icon you'd like to use! If there aren't any selections, the app doesn't support that application.

Step 5: Once you've chosen, and clicked the icon you want, you should be directed to a page like this:

You'll click "Set up link".

Step 6: 

 

You will then be directed to a page like you see above. To make an application, click "app search" for the easiest option.

Step 7: Type in the name of the app you have chosen an icon for, and find the one you have. Note: you must have the original application in order to do this.

As you can see, I am using Youtube for example.

Step 8: Click the app you are making the new icon into.

Step 9: You can rename you app to whatever you want. Spice it up a little, make it your own! You can also add the gloss option to the icon, which tends to makes the icon have a little 3D effect.

You will then click 'Ok'.

 Step 10: 

You'll be asked to confirm going to Safari. To continue, click 'Yes'.

Step 11: You will be directed to the safari page with the example of your application icon. There are instructions on the page to help you finish. I will still continue the tutorial, though for deeper instructions, if needed. You will start off by clicking the outbox arrow at the bottom of the screen, to open the options you see below:

Step 12: Click the middle option, that has a picture of your icon and says "add to homescreen". This will then automatically put the icon onto your iPhone screen as an application.

 You can then move the icon around onto different pages, and put it into folders. You can use this as a regular app.

Heres the catch:

This icon is a shortcut to the app. This means, you cannot delete the original app, and put this one in its place. The best way to do this is to make folders lf the original applications, and put them in folders in the back of your phone. Here is how I did mine:

I have two cocoppa application folders that hold the original apps. You do not need to ever open, or move these apps if you don't want to.

I hope this helps you find a way to make your iPhone more unique.
