Please do go and check out my store, because I'm sure you will like what you see! If you do like something remember to get permission from your parents before buying anything. if your parents allow you then go ahead and knock yourself out. Please do comment down below if you have bought something and if you are satisfied with your 'Purple Sun Love' product.
We sell tie dyes, HANDMADE cases, headbands, and necklaces. We have a wide range of necklaces to choose from. I personally love our cases because they are all handmade and they have been given a lot of time and effort. We hope that you do like them and I would really appreciate it if you could comment down some ideas on what to sell. Well that's it for now, I hope you enjoyed and I hope that this was helpful.

So go collect all of those things and get a spot to start our art DIY.
Step 1. Glue the designed paper over the 4 canvas'
Step 2. On each canvas glue down the buttons to make one letter of 'LOVE'
Step 3. Place the 4 canvas' on your wall to make the word 'LOVE'
Step 4. Enjoy your canvas

Hey Everyone!
As you can probably tell by one of my recent posts, I really enjoy reading books. People say that reading books are really boring, but even I feel like that too sometimes when I have the wrong book. All you have to do is find out what books you like, then there is no stopping you from there. Today I am going to be recommending you to 2 books and they are amazing! They are both by the author, John Green, and the 2 books are 'The Fault in our Stars,' & 'Looking for Alaska'. They are both books that I have read and personally really enjoyed. Lots of people have probably already taken an interest in 'The Fault in our Stars', but if you haven't then this is your time to shine.
Now, if you haven't already, then go online to Retro Dragonflies (link will be down below) and check out my friends post on Booktopia (link down below) to find out how to get a great deal on these amazing books. Once you go online to Booktopia you will find that 'The Fault in our Stars', & 'Looking for Alaska' comes to a total of $27.90 + postage and handling ($6.50) If you ask me it seems like you have a month or two to keep you busy on reading a couple of books at an amazing low price. What are you doing? Hurry up and jump online to Booktopia and order your two new books now!

Hey Everyone!
Today I was looking back through my posts and thought I would do another post on a youtuber. Today I am not doing eleventh gorgeous, Miranda sings, rclbeauty101, Bethany Mota, or Jamie's world, but I am doing a post on Zoella. Today there is a specific reason that I am writing about Zoella. That reason is that she is releasing a new book, Girl Online. The paper back comes out on the 26th of November and the hard back comes out on the 25th of November.
This is Zoella's first ever book and she is also a really funny youtuber. I cannot wait for Zoella's new book to come out, but why wait so long to order? Jump onto Booktopia (link down below) to pre-order your very own copy of Girl Online. I can't wait to get my copy. I am really excited for this book. Well I think that's all for today. I hope you enjoyed my post and I will see you in my next one!

Hey Guys,
I am extremely sorry that were was no new post on Sparkling Turtles last Friday as I was away and completely forgot. I had gone down to San Remo which is near Philip Island. I unfortunately did not bring my laptop and therefore was unable to write a weekly post for you guys. I am very sorry for any inconvenience and to make up for no post on Friday I will do another post tonight after this one. Don't worry, don't think that just because I am doing another post after this one don't think that it will be my weekly post because it wont! I will post another post on the upcoming Friday as well as tonight.
As I mentioned in one of my earlier post if I do by accident miss a weekly post please do not stop checking my blog because I will try and make up for the post that was a no show. So if you checked my blog on Friday and saw that there was no new post, then please don't give up on my blog. I am doing the best that I can even though it is getting a little bit hard with my new store, (I will do a post on it later down the track) and school. Well until next time,
Hugs & Kisses

Hey Everyone!
Today I looked at my phone and thought, my phone case is so plain! That's when I had remembered that I know about this website called Wildflower Cases. It's basically a website that sell super extraordinary cases and they come with studs on the back of the case in either the shape of a cross, heart, or a pyramid. (you get the choice of either the cross, heart, or the pyramid) Their cases are absolutely amazing! I really love them. Now, they are quite expensive but they are worth the money if you are really committed and responsible with making online purchases.
Once your parents find out the price they will probably not let you buy the case of you dreams, but that is why you can do some chores and save your money for the case you have been waiting for! So far, I have bought 4 cases from Wildflower cases and I really like them they are so unique. I personally like the cross, and heart made out of the studs, but it is completely up to you with which design you choose on the back of you phone cover. I will obviously put a link down below to their website, and their instagram page, for you guys to check them out. I hope you have enjoyed my post and stay tuned for the next one. Remember, that if you buy a Wildflower case to post a photo of you and your case on instagram and hash tag #wildflowerlove

Hey Everyone!
I was on YouTube the other day and the first thing I typed in was 'BeautyBySiena'. For those of you who don't know who BeautyBySiena is, she is basically a girl who loves fashion and in which case created a YouTube channel. Siena Mirabella (BeautyBySiena) posts videos twice a week. (Wednesday & Sundays) Be sure to check out her videos and you will instantly fall in love with this youtuber. BeautyBySiena also has a great taste when it comes to buying clothing. (or any kind of fashion) Siena Mirabella posts videos of hauls, makeup tutorials, Q & A's, morning & night routines, tags (TMI tag, 10 things that make me happy tag), 50 facts about Siena, makeup products etc.
I absolutely adore her! I will definitely put a link to You Tube and to Siena's Channel. She also has instagram, twitter, tumblr, and an online shop. There are many other youtubers that I love, but out of rclbeauty101, Eleventh Gorgeous, Zoella, More Zoella, Jamie's World, Bethany Mota, and Miranda Sings, I decided to do a post on BeautyBySiena. If you want to know about Bethany Mota (she is also a youtuber) then go online to Retro Dragonflies (http://retrodragonflies.blogspot.com.au/) to read about Bethany Mota. I will try to do a couple more posts on youtubers if you have enjoyed this post.

Hey Guys!
So for some of you, you may think that reading novels is boring. Well it can be really fun if you just have the right book! That is why I am doing a Divergent Trilogy Book Review. The Divergent set has three books to it - Divergent, (#1) Insurgent, (#2) & Allegiant. (#3) Most of you have already heard about the Divergent Trilogy but for others this may be the very first time! Now I know some of you are thinking 'I hate reading, I don't want to read Divergent', but you are all wrong. Divergent is one of the best Trilogies I have ever come across. Its so adventurous and it is one of my favourite kind of books. It is also a love story at the same time. I love the Divergent Trilogy! After being half way through Insurgent, I thought to myself 'I love the Divergent Trilogy, I HAVE to write a post about it for all of my bloggers. They should read it too!'
Now you are probably thinking where to buy them, but that is why I am here to help. I am very familiar with this website 'Booktopia' it is an online website where you can order books for the lowest prices. I have had so much experience with 'Booktopia' and I just love the books that I get from them. Postage is only $6.50! What a bargain! If you want to hear more about 'Booktopia' then go online to http://retrodragonflies.blogspot.com.au/ and view my friends post on 'Booktopia'. If you are from another country don't worry, 'Booktopia' ships worldwide for only $6.50. How great is that! Comment down below if my post inspired you to go out and order the Divergent Trilogy, or if you have a question to ask me about how 'Booktopia' works. I will put the link to 'Booktopia' down below.

Hey Guys!
I hope I am doing a great job on my blog for you at the moment. Leave a comment below on how I am doing with my blog, if you have time. If you guys are waiting for a new post and checking my blog every couple of days, its most likely that I wont have a new post every couple of days, and I think that can drive some people away from a blog like mine. Just so that doesn't happen, I will try to post fun and cool things on my blog every week! I will definitely try to post things every Friday. By the way this will not be my weekly post as I will post again tonight. If there is not anything new on my blog every Friday still be active with my blog, because it can get hard doing a blog and school.
With having all that said/ typed just stay tuned with my blog and you can comment below on what new posts I should create. Oh and just remember to have a load of fun with reading my posts! When I post some DIYs be sure to check them out and give them ago! Try to make some time to comment on how your DIY goes once you have tried it!

Hey Guys!
Yesterday I was talking to the owner of Retro Dragonflies,(http://retrodragonflies.blogspot.com.au/) and she suggested that I do a post about Pandora. Now for the people who do not know what Pandora is, it is basically just a jewellery shop that I adore! If you take a look at their jewellery you will love it just like I do! I own a bracelet from them, 3 rings, 1 pair of earrings, and many charms to go with my bracelet. I just love the jewellery that I have bought from them, and I will continue to buy from them. It's just amazing!
They sell many different types of jewellery such as lots of kinds of bracelets, necklaces, rings, charms, and earrings. They even have your birthstone colours. Pandora has the colours pink, orange, beige, silver, turquoise, blue, black, red, and many more! Obviously it will take a month or two to fill up your bracelet unless you want to buy all of the charms at the same time. In my opinion I think it is better to buy them one at a time so you can feel the enjoyment of each charm as you get it! I will put the link to the Pandora website below and be sure to check it out! Leave a comment if you make a purchase from Pandora! I hope you have enjoyed this post and stay tuned for my next post!
