A Fresh New Start...

Hiyas, my lovely jellibabies... *jeez this is awkward* I just wanted to say a couple of things..

First things first, I want to apologise for not blogging. I know, I know, it's been over a month now, but I really am, from the bottom of my heart,  sorry. I've been incredibly busy with school, and Christmas, and god knows what else... so i've hardly had any chance to blog at all.

 Also, my beloved cat, Nellie, recently was diagnosed with a jaw tumor. (Oh dear, I'm actually crying right now.) and she had to go to the vets. And stay there. Forever. A couple of days later they called to say she went to sleep...

And didn't wake up.

I miss Nellie dearly, and i've been hugely upset by this tragedy in my family, so again, I haven't felt up to blogging. And I need a tissue.

But wait, there's more.

I've been having these sort of anxiety, stress wobbles where I suddenly feel sick, want to go home, start crying. That sort of thing. So, it's really put my whole idea of existence on hold.



So yeah, that's kind of my life right now.



But,

2016 is coming, and that's a chance to start over. EVERYTHING.

My blog, my school, my family, my room, everything.

To kick start the fresh new start, I want to start with pets. My mum has agreed that i'm allowed to get 2 goldfish! That is why i'm holding my very own, first competition. The rules are:

You have to be a follower,
You have to comment 2 gold fish names on this post,
That's basically it.

The prizes are:

1st: A guest post and interview with me
2nd: An interview with me
3rd: A guest post

In 2016, i'll also be doing a whole other range of posts, from Dear Diary moments, to lots of little stories from my imagination.

Plus, if you have any new year's resolutions, make sure you comment them down in the comment box below!

So yeah, that's all I really wanted to say...

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

6 Writing Prompts!

Hiyas, my lovely jellybabies! I'm so sorry I haven't been posting much this month. Iv'e been really ill ever since half-term. But now i'm back in business! *fist pumps* Anyways, there's something I wanted to go through. My good friend and  fellow blogger D-B, has a new blog, Clouds In Above! I really recommend you check it out, she would really appreciate it. But, iv'e been going on about this for too long, on with the post! Here are some writing prompts for any stories you need inspiration for. Lets do this!

1. She took a deep breath, closing her eyes and letting the chill of the fog sweep over her. She had to go. She had no choice.

2.She told the seashell her story, whispering every secret her memories held. Then she laid that shell at the ocean's edge and let the tide pick it up, bringing it out to sea. Hopefully, the Mermaids will get her message.

3."What have I done!?" I screamed at the burning room, holding Loki's bleeding chest to mine. "What have I done to deserve this!?"

4. "Please. Come with me. Don't let the gap widen. Don't walk away. Just come over here with me, and we'll work it out."

5. He pinned me to the ground. I tried to scream but his hands covered my mouth. "What are you doing out here all by yourself?" he whispered, smirking. Then, everything went black.

6. As the rain beat down on her face, drenching her gown and flattening it against her body, a scream of agony let loose from her lips.

Thank for reading! These prompts are free for anyone to use, I don't mind you stealing it and putting it in your next best-selling novel. (Just as long as you thank me in the acknowledgements!)

Toodle-oo kangaroo, so long king kong, give a hug ladybug, bye bye butterfly, out the door dinosaur, yeah i'll stop.

Ruby Redfort: Look Into My Eyes Book Review + Interview

Hiyas, my lovely jellybabies! Today i'm going to be doing a book review about… Ruby Redfort! So lets do this…

Oh, and i'm also doing an interview with Clancy, Ruby's best friend.

Ruby Redfort is not your average 13 year old. At the age of 2, she solved the case of a missing dog. BY HERSELF. At the age of 7, she entered the Junior Code Creator competition, and had to have her code broken at Harvard university. BY HERSELF. A you can tell, she is NOT normal.

But, one day, a mysterious secret agent butler informs her that she's been picked to solve an unsolvable code. But, on one condition: 

she has to keep it zipped.

Will Ruby Manage, to keep her secret a, well, secret, or will she let those all important words, slip through her lips? I guess you'll just have to read it to find out. Overall I loved this book, even though some bits were kinda scary. I recommend it to anyone who loves, crime, adventure and lots of slogan t-shirts.

Time for the interview:

Me: So, Clancy, thank you for coming here today. Tell us a bit about your character, what role do you play in the book?

Clancy: Well, I play Ruby's best friend. She gets Clancy to do loads of crazy things in the book.

Me: Right, right, good. How would you think your character is described? Did you like the description?

Clancy: Actually, I wasn't impressed when I first read the script, what I was supposed to act like. In fact, I was quite offended! Am I really going to play this person?! I thought. 

Me: Ok, interesting. So how about all the dramatic scenes you had to film. Like the one where you think Ruby's dead. Or the on where that cat persons holding the gun to your head.

Clancy: Well, it took a lot of takes to film. Everyone kept bursting out laughing. I don't know why. So unprofessional.

Me: Oh, I see, I see. You play Ruby's best friend. Did you and Ruby get along on set? 

Clancy: No way!  Me and Ruby are enemies in real life. She's always bragging about how amazing she is at code breaking, when actually, she can't even break the crossword in the local newspaper! I hate that Ruby Redfort.

(Ruby walks in)

Ruby: Clancy! I heard that!

Clancy: So what?

Me: Uh Oh.

Just a quick note: Ruby and Clancy are actually best friends in the book. They don't really hate each other. I just thought i'd add that in to make it more interesting. 

Thanks for reading! 

Moonbaby out :)

PS. This book is not actually a film, I just thought I would do it like that to make the interview more interesting.

Happy Black Cat Day!

Hiyas, my lovely jellybabies!

I know iv'e been doing a lot of celebrations lately, and this one is no exception... IT'S BLACK CAT DAY!! I have a black cat called Nellie so today is quite a special day for her...(and me).

Go over to the Cats Protection Website to find out more details about today. Anyways, the true meaning of this post was to share with you lovely lot, the poem I wrote for Edie Rose's black cat day inspired writing competition. I came second, which I was super duper happy about, so i thought I would share it with you. Here goes!

The Ebony Cat

I see her eyes staring intensely,

patterns swirling in the bottomless depths of the pupil,

her amber iris twitching and twisting sharply,

ebony, shimmering fur ripples across the path,

and a flash of jet black sprints away.

I follow it, and see two sharp, mountain peak like ears,

they are listening fiercely.

I wonder what she's seen, 

I wonder where she's been,

I wonder if the life she lived before was a happy one?

So, there you go. My poem about a black cat. All the other entries were fabulous too, and I especially loved Iris's poem. Cute!

Anyways, thanks for reading! And don't forget to tell everyone it's black cat day!

Moonbaby out :)

PS. Ooops. I just realised that black cat day was yesterday. Let's just say it's black cat day anyway! 

Happy Back To The Future Day!

Great Scott, my lovely jellybabies! Big news...  it's

(day)

Well technically, it was the day before yesterday, but hey, whatever. Let's just say it's today, for Marty's sake.

Anyways, the reason that it's Back to the Future day is because: *deep breath*

In back to the future part 2 Marty and Doc travell forward in time to 2015 since the film was made in 1985 to the 21 of October 2015. WHICH IS TODAY!!!!! Well, the day before yesterday, but whatever.

I LOVE the back to the future, it's my favourite movie OF ALL TIME! And I think it's super cool that they thought 2015 would have hoverboards and flying cars and stuff like that!! I'M SO EXCITED!!!!! 

If you don't know the storyline of the trilogy then listen up, i'm going to round the whole thing up: *another deep breath*

So there's this dude called Marty McFly right, and he meets this mad scientist called Doc and invents a time machine called the Deloreon, then he travels back in time to 1955 when his parents meet but he accidentally makes them never meet, and while doing so nearly erases his own existence in the process, so in the end he gets them back together, and saves the universe, HOORAY! But,in back to the future part 2, Marty, Doc and Jennifer (Marty's girlfriend) travel into 2015 to try to stop Marty's kids from going to prison and having a horrible life. So he does. Yeah! But, Biff (Marty's nemesis) from the future steals an almanac that Marty bought with all the results of every sporting event till the end of the century, then, he steals the Deloreon and travels back in time to 1955, where he gives the book to his younger self, so, when Doc and Marty get the Deloreon back and go back to 1985, they realise that they have gone to a alternate universe, where Biff is rich and is Marty's stepfather and tries to kill him. So, Marty and Doc travel to 1955 to try to stop Biff from the future giving the almanac to the Biff from the past, so he never gets rich and ends up being Marty's stepfather. And they do. WHOPPEE! But, When Doc is flying around in the Delorean, he gets struck by lightning and transported back to 18 something something, where he finds out he gets shot by a cowboy but then travels forward in time again, then back again, to try to stop himself being shot. But, I haven't actually watched that film yet so HANG ON PEOPLE!!

Anyway, happy back to the future day!

Marty McFly out :)

5 Unique DIY Halloween Costumes

Hiyas my lovely jellybabies! Halloween is coming closer, HOOOORRRAAAYYY!!! But, like me, if you can't think of anything to go as, just take some insparation from some of the ideas iv'e huddled together. Here are 5 easy DIY halloween costumes that trust me, NO ONE has thought of. So without further a doodle, let's do this!

1.) Sugar Skull

I was this for Halloween last year, and I do not regret it. Just get some face paint, preferably white, and paint your face in. Then, get some different coloured face paint, and make two circles around the eyes, Then draw on a skeleton mouth and a black nose. Ta da! You have now been magically transformed into a sugar skull by power, of me.

2.) Dalek

Not even close in complexity to the one above, get a headband, and a CLEAN toilet plunger. Super glue the toilet plunger on to the headband, and put it on. Now, find a old skirt, and stick some ping pong balls onto it. Sorted.

3.) Alice In Wonderland House

This costume may take some time, patience and a big cardboard box. Take your cardboard box and paint a house on it. It could be as simple as 2 windows and a door, or you could go all out with flowers on the windowsills and steps at the front. Now, cut off the top and bottom so you can get inside it. Then, get some elastic and glue it to the inside of the box. Sort of like straps, so you don't have to carry it round all night. Finally, climb inside your house and voila! You are a massive person inside a tiny house.

4.) Avatar 

Wear a blue onesie, perfect for those late, halloween sleepovers you have after trick or treating.

5.) Marshmallow

Find a white duvet, and wrap yourself in it, simple.

Thanks for reading! Don't forget to comment what your going to be for halloween, and also what you think I should be for halloween!

Things I Love In Autumn

Hiyas my lovely jellybabies! I'm sooooooo sorry about not posting lately, I try to post, but then I can't find any time to, then I can't think of anything to post about, then I give up and watch MyLifeAsEva  on youtube, so then I feel like 

Sorry, small panic attack there.

Anyways, on with today's post. I've decided to tell you guys all the things I love in the Autumn. So without further a doodle, let's do this!

1.) Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte

This drink was so delicious! I adore the warm, spicy feeling when it trickles down your throat. Yum.....

2.) Wooly Socks

Warm, comfortable, fashionable amazing! Everything you need for Autumn.

3.) Colourful Leaves 

All the colours of Autumn's leaves distract me from whatever i'm doing. Flashes of gold shimmer in the trees, and flames flicker across the branches. ( I'm proud of that metaphor)

4.) Halloween

C'mon, you have to admit that Halloween is one of THE COOLEST THINGS EVER!! Think about it! You get free sweets, dress up in whatever you want, and scare the heck out anyone you come across! Awesome or what!

5.) Campfires 

There's nothing better than sitting in front of a campfire, singing a song and roasting marshmellows. 

So that's it for today, hope you enjoyed it!

Moonbaby out :)

PS. I am going to try to blog more often

PPS. Happy chocolate week!

Happy Birthday Edie Rose!

Hiyas, my luvly jellybabies! I have some 

news to share with you!!

It's Edie Rose's birthday today!!!!! AHHHHHHH!!!! I just wanted to say that she is the most amazing friend I could ask for, and I hope she has an FABULOUS time being the age she's become. (I won' mention what age since i'm not sure if she'll want me to tell you.) And because of this event iv'e decided to write  a little poem to show what a fantastic friend she is.

Edie. The name I can recognise easily in any situation. Wether it's falling of a cliff, or simply opening a crisp packet, she'll always be there for me. After all, she is the one who first told me about blogging, and all the other essential things that now feel natural. We share little secrets, and write little e-mails to each other at midnight. I tell all my problems to her, and she tells them to me. We gossip together, and even though sometimes we argue, it all works out when we look into each others eyes and laugh our heads off. Me and her would play little games we'd made up, for hours on end if we had the chance. We make dens in the tiny cupboards in her bedroom, hide in them and steal biscuits and chocolate from the fridge. Books  and blogging are both our lives, and all our followers and commenters have drawn us closer as friends, so thank you, but more importantly thank Edie. You are gold to me.

Thank you so much for reading, and don't forget to comment happy birthday on Edie's blog, she will really appreciate it. 

Moonbaby out! :)

Rainy Days

Hiyas my lovely jellybabies! It's bucketing down right now outside,and has been for the past few hours, so I thought I would do a sort of sad post today.

I'm looking out the window, watching the dew drops plopping onto the ground, a pool of water taking over the garden. I see a tear of crystal running down my nose, onto my scarlet lips and down my chin. The rain is roaring, each drop like a charging bullet. I can hear the trees rattling away, the storm hitting them like a million cricket bats. The wind is blowing, the rain is rushing, my heart is beating.

Thanks for reading! Remember, if you want to do a guest post or interview, just comment below.

Back To School Hairstyles: Moonbaby Style

Hiyas, my lovely jellybabies! Today i'm gonna be doing a back to school post! I've seen this post creeping it's way around the blogasphere and want to try it myself. I'm going to show you lovely lot some of the hairstyles that are perfect for going back to school. Let do this!

1.) The Plaited Up Do

Plait both sides of your head in a regular plait. Then bring them up to the top of your head and secure with bobby pins. Ta da!

2.) Headscarf do

There are multiple ways of doing this style, but I like to grab a headscarf and roll it up. Then tie it round my head with a knot at the front. Voila!

3.) The Messy Bun

Pull your hair up into a high ponytail, but don't pull it all the way. Repeat again. Adjust until you're happy.

4.) The Classic Bunches

Probably the most simple of all, tie 2 ponytails at boths sides of yor head. But please, for my sake, don't go as crazy as this:

And DO NOT do this on your dog:

But it would be kinda funny to do it on your cat:

Anyway! Thanks for reading. Hope you use some of these styles for your own!

The Future...

Hiyas! I'm just going to get right into this post.

The most curios question in the universe, "what will the future be like?" Nobody knows. I certainly don't. I've thought up some questions about what i'll do in the future, and going to answer them. Let do this!


Where are you going to live?

I'm thinking about living in a gypsy wagon... iv'e always loved them.

Any kids?

Yes. Probably. I think i'll have 2 or 3. Maybe an adopted child.

What will their names be?

Girl - Zoe, Madalin, Jessica, Rae

Boy - Stanely, Charlie, Redmond, Ashton

Are you going to college/university? 

I really want to go to drama school, actually. If I don't get in, i'll probably go to university and study drama.

Will you still have a blog?

I hope so... Ill try to keep JAJ for as long as possible. If not, I'll probably have another blog.


That's all, folks. Hope you enjoyed! Don't forget to comment, follow, share and love!
