Double Deal - John Green

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!

Zoella's new book!

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!

Uh - Oh... It was an accident!!

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

Wildflower Love!

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
