Best Frenemies Novels

Hey everyone! Just wanted to share that I only have 9 more chapters to go before my next book Best Frenemies is ready for publishing! I can't wait to get this one out there, I can promise it won't be a let down for anyone that loves young adult or teen drama novels. If you have read my book Boyfriend, then you already know a little about my main character Ash Lynn Summers. Boyfriend basically leaves you wondering what is going to happen to Ash Lynn in California? Well wonder no more! In Best Frenemies you catch up with Ash Lynn and find out that her life in California is amazing. She has the friends she has always wanted. Plus her and Ryan are doing really well. 

Of course being popular isn't that easy and Ash Lynn discovers that you can't always trust the girl that calls you her best friend. When boyfriends turn into ex's and best friends turn into enemies Ash Lynn is left to pick up the pieces and figure out what she is going to do next. She is grateful that she has learned enough from her "friends" to survive the dog eat world of popularity, so she thinks.

Book Help Please People!

Hello friends on Google and Blogger. I really need some advice on what everyone thinks about this so if you read this please comment on your opinion or send me a private message! A while ago I got my first book reviewed and got told that it doesn't sound like teenagers talking. The people that reviewed my book told me to use more words like the following: cray cray (crazy), hater, oh-em-gee, totes (totally), forevs (forever), whatevs (whatever) obvi (obvious), parentals, besties, ttyl, and lol.

Okay so the question is do you guys think that it is okay to use this words in a book? I started to re-word a lot of my second book and now I'm wondering should I be doing that. Also I have a lot of texting going on in my book so do you think I should be using ttyl and lol in there? Serious opinions need everyone! Help!

New Xbox One

Ugh I don't know why I feel the need to catch up on posting! I always miss a couple of days because I am either busy writing, working, doing something for my son, or someone in my family comes to visit. So I posted a couple of outfits and now I want to talk about something that I am pretty excited the new Xbox. Today the released a little information on the new xbox which is called: Xbox One.

Basically it is a all in one system. It has a blue ray which I wasn't too shocked about. The kinect is even better not surprising. One thing that was a little crazy is that Microsoft made it so people will never have to leave their couches with the option to use the Xbox One as a remote for the T.V. You can now say "Watch T.V." and it will change it to your television service. Also you can change the channel this way as well with the simple command, "Change to ESPN." or any channel that you want. I wasn't that excited about that only because I want my gaming system for gaming not changing the channel to my T.V. Now that said when I get my Xbox One I'm sure I am going to be just as excited for that.

I really wanted to know a couple of things when I woke up this morning to watch the release. I wanted to know am I going to be able to transfer my account to the new account, and in all of the nerd talk I feel like I got my answer or somewhat. I'm pretty sure they said that your account will be transferred. I might have heard something wrong but I'm pretty sure that's what they said.

My next question was is it really going to be always online? After the release there was a little questionnaire, and that put that rumor to rest. It is not an always online system. If you want to play against people or with friends then yes you will have to play online, but that is the same for the Xbox 360, and isn't a shocker.

Something that didn't get answered that I still want to know about is: Are there going to be codes so you can't use used games? I've heard a lot about that and I really hope that is just another rumor. Oh and I'm sure most people already know this but Xbox 360 games will not be compatible with the new Xbox One.

Lastly I just wanted to say I was excited to find out that COD is going to let us customize our character a little more. When is there going to be girls in COD though? We all know that there are plenty of girls that play COD now. So that is really something that I would like to see. All this boring nerd girl stuff said I am super excited about the Xbox One and I can't wait for E3!

Meeting His Parents or Classy Girls Night!

I LOVE everything about this outfit! This cute little number would be the perfect outfit to meet your boyfriends parents in. It isn't too over done and you don't want to look like you are trying to hard. I'm short so I can wear heels all the time (lucky me!) but if the heels are too much then just swap them for some cute flats. Also I would wear a loose ponytail or twist for two reasons you don't want to hide behind your hair. It will make you unapproachable and to show off the cute pearl earrings! Also this would be a good outfit for a classy dinner with the girls! Either way I think this is a must for my closet!

Laid back Date Night

As promised I thought I would throw out a cute little laid back date night outfit for all of you ladies! This is my style when I want to look under dressed but still cute. I would wear this to go out with my friends for dinner or with my fiance for a date night. A family bbq lose the heels and wear flats and it would be perfection! Also loose curls are adorable with those hats!

Quick Post!

Hey everyone I just wanted to post a couple of random things all together. I am pretty excited because my brother came to town today so I got to hang out with him for awhile! My best friend is coming into town tomorrow which is really excited for me I haven't seen her is such a long time!

I tried out a couple of games today on the 3ds today that were so much fun. Drawn to Life was one of them. You get to draw a bunch of things and I loved getting to make my own character. I would have loved if it was better graphics, like I could make my character looked a little more like me or at least prettier. I would like to have her look less blocky. Also I tried an older Zelda game that was a lot of fun. I don't have that much to say about it other then that.

I added a bunch of things to Pinterest over the last couple of days. Fashion, nails, make up, funny things, and other things. I would have posted some of the outfits but I will try for that this weekend. Go look at my Pinterest!

My book is going good I still need more copies sold! Check it out if you haven't yet I am Amazon. Type my name into the search on Amazon (Stacey Arvans). You will find me. Kindle editions count and they are only 3.00! Great read for teen girls, young adults, and girls of all ages. If you do get it from Amazon please leave a review.

Pinterest

Awhile ago my best friend told me about this site and she convinced me to look at this site called Pinterest. She told me, "This site is so awesome! You can find so much stuff to do on there, you got to check it out you'll love it!" I said back, "Okay, okay. I'll go check it out." So I signed up and my first opinion of the site it was that it was a big cluster mess. I told her, "I don't like this at all it is so confusing to me!"

Okay so if you know me I am really up on technology and new things, so she thought it was a little crazy that I hated it. A couple of months ago I thought why not give this Pinterest site one more chance and actually get to know what the site is all about. I have to tell you I am so glad that I did! I love it! It is basically my site to put everything that I love in one place. It is all about me! In the beginning it is a little confusing, I mean I didn't know what the heck I was suppose to be doing. I looked around on some others Pinterest sites and I got the idea on what I wanted my boards and pins to be like.

As I was pinning away a couple of weeks ago my fiance asked me what I was doing. I told him, "This is called pinning. You got to try it! It is so much fun, you basically pin everything you like in boards and people can come look at it, pin it and follow you." He asks, "Do a lot of guys do it?" I'm like, "Oh yeah its not just a girl thing." I had to prove it though by searching for a bunch of guy things. Finally I convince him to do it and he had the same problem I had in the beginning. So I tell him, "Let me just get you started, tell me the boards you want and I will make it and you can ask me all the questions you need too after that." He agreed, and guess what? Now he is just as addicted to pinning as I am!

So anyone that wants to try out Pinterest you should it is a pretty awesome site. Don't get discouraged if you don't catch on to it right away because at first it is a little confusing like I said before. I think it is just natural. Try it out though! Feel free to check out my pinterest also! It is http://pinterest.com/staceyarvans/. My pinterest is beauty, fashion, games, movies, food, houses, and a lot more! Any guys looking to start up check out my fiances pinterest: http://pinterest.com/anthony222324/ . He has a lot of sports, funny things, men's fashion and tattoos!

I Think I Just Fell In Love!

At this moment there are two hair sensations that are in. Number 1. Ombre hair and number 2. Dipped tips. I love both they are so unique and colorful. At the moment I have a causal brown to black ombre, but I'm thinking I want soming bolder. Brown to blond? Brown to red? I can't decide. I also love the idea of dipped hair the colors that are most seen are hot pink, light green, dark blue, purple, and lilac.

The other day I was surfing the web and saw this hair chalk that is supposed to give you the same effect as dipped hair but it isn't permanent. Which I thought cool that is a good idea I can see of I like it! Ugh guess what dark haired girls? It is almost impossible to see it on our hair! If you are blond it is AMAZING! I would suggest trying it Blondies! So I was a little sad I really wanted pink and purple tips.

Don't worry for to long though brown haired girls I found these today! I can honestly say that I might be in love. These are so cool and they clip in! Having family over? Going to Church? No problem them out. Going to the club? Going out with the hubby? Going out with the girls? Try clipping them in for a new look! And no hair damage perfect!

Natural Way To Repair Hair!

A couple of nights ago I was looking at hair tips and I read this article that if mix an egg, olive oil, salt, and honey together it is supposed to make your hair shiny, reduce split ends and grow faster! Once a week for stronger, healthier, and shiny hair? Of course you know I had to try it!

I already have very thick Greek hair that is extremely curly, so it has a lot of damage because I straighten it everyday. Also I like to dye it a lot and try out new colors. I thought why not try and repair my hair. I have been doing it for a couple weeks and I can't say that it has grown, but it is already a lot shinier! I am hoping that after a month it will be over all healthier looking. I mean I have to pour eggs in my hair it better work!

I read a lot into it and there were a couple of things that made me laugh. The main thing was that some people were rinsing their hair with hot water. Okay why is that funny? It made scrambled eggs in their hair! I got a good laugh thinking of all the people that didn't think of rinsing with cool water. So if you are going to try this then you have to rinse with cool water or you will be having breakfast and a shower at the same time!

The recipe that I used was also very simple:

1 egg

1 teaspoon salt  

1 teaspoon honey

1 or 2 teaspoons olive oil (I used two because I have a lot of hair)

Mix all the ingredients together until mixed well. Then start at your roots and work your way up. Twist and clip onto the top of your head. Let it rest for 30 to 60 minutes (I did 60). In the shower rinse very well in cool water then shampoo and condition! That's it once a week. Very simple and a cool little fact you will smell like a bakery!

Dinner and a Game!

Hey web friends! I'm at work right now and FINALLY finished all of my edits for book two: Best Frenemies. I was pretty excited about that! I still need to add in a couple things that I noticed I am missing and probably a few more chapters. I am happy to say that I am still on schedule though. For me that it the most important thing.

Last night I need to relax a little and after cooking one of my fiances favorite meals: Chicken Cordon Bleu, asparagus and twice baked potatoes, I thought to myself what can I do to relax? *Ding* a huge light bulb went off, "I'm going to go play one of my random games off of the Xbox 360." I thought to myself. So i went to my game room and opened up my entertainment center where I stash all of my Xbox games. I'm looking through all of these games, and realize I have a lot of games.

My fiance and I have two different Xbox 360's so we tend to have to buy doubles of all games that we both want to play. We don't split screen anything so that is a lot of COD games doubled, Oblivion, Borderlands, and a bunch more. I never realized how many games we actually own! I get to Naughty Bear and I giggle a little. I think to myself, "How is this game not relaxing. Killing a bunch of cute little bears that are being mean to Naughty." Believe me at first I was like Naughty this isn't right, but as the game goes on you realize that these other bears are just a big group of popular kids picking on Naughty. Oh and not to mention the 'voice' that keeps telling Naughty to do all this bad stuff!

Has anyone else played this game? I noticed I only have one friend that has played out of my 80ish friends and that was only because he watched me play.

What Happen To The Heat?

Ugh I feel like my second book is consuming all of my time! Actually today I took a couple hours off to watch the play-offs and all I have to say is what the heck happened to the Heat tonight? I told my boyfriend oh they are going to sweep the Bulls no doubt in my mind and then after the second half I was like okay no they aren't! I mean I don't want to take anything away from the Bulls but they struggled during the first bracket. LBJ wasn't really doing as good as he should have that was for sure. The real game that I was excited for was Spurs vs. Warriors. I was so happy until the third over time when the Spurs actually took the lead. How does that happen they were down the whole damn game! So tonight I am going to play catch-up on editing and go to bed a sad sports fan. Uh let's hope for better games tomorrow everyone!

On a different note I just updated my website, staceyarvans.wix.com/staceyarvansbooks! Now you are able to buy my book from there and I have it linked to Amazon and Kindle, so go check it out if you haven't already my Kindle edition is only $3.00 and I have 4 5 out of 5 star reviews so far! Thanks again everyone for the support and great wishes on my book. I can't wait to get my second one out hopefully soon!

Long Time Since I Posted Last!

Wow it's been  a really long time since I posted last! Okay, so I left off last weekend with my promo weekend for my book, which by the way went really well. I sold well over 100 copies and got four 5 star reviews! Which for me is really good considering no one was looking at my book because I am a new author. I'm hoping to get the word out this month a little more about my book. Although through blogs and media I haven't been getting a good response yet. Everyone tells me patience is the key to becoming a good author but I sometimes feel these people have never actually tried waiting for something they really want. It can be so frustrating! I just want people to read my story now! Although I'm sure by the second one it will get better. Anyone that knows some tips to get people to look at and buy your book please feel free to send me a message or comment. I could use all the help that I can get!
