BLOGMAS #2: Christmassy Phone



Christmas is something to celebrate with everyone...and everything. That's why I supposed it would be a good idea to show you a way to dress up your phone for (almost) everyone's favourite holiday. 

All you have to do is to download CocoPPa on your phone. (It exists for iPhone and Android) Once you have downloaded it, you have the opportunity to create an account in order to "like" some decorations and easily find them later. 

Now let's get to the point. Touch the "Lounge" section on the bottom left corner of the app. 
Click on "Narrow Research" and write "Christmas" (on anything else). 


Now chose the decoration you want and download it. You can either download the wallpaper or not, as you wish. Once it's done, determine on the icon you want and go on "set" to indicate which app you want it to correspond to. Click on "Ok" then on "Set". Safari will open, touch the indicated section and finally, "Add to Home Screen." 


TADAAA it's done! Your phone is ready to celebrate Christmas with you. 



18 days left!

INTERNET FRIENDS PART 1

Nowadays, Internet is a big part of people lives, specially teenagers'. Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, Youtube, (and Blogspot of course!)... However old you are, you've certainly heard these names and visited at least once all these sites. Obviously, these social networks help you staying in touch with your friends, discovering new artists and staying updated with information of those you already love. But there is one thing all these sites allow you I haven't mentioned yet: meeting new people
Remember when your parents told you "don't talk to strangers on the internet"? Haha, bullshit. You did it anyway. What a thug life! Sometimes you bump into people you'll only talk to a few times but sometimes, you meet people you consider as real friends and distance only becomes an easy obstacle to cross. 
In my case, I met a few people in both categories but in the second one, there are particularly two people I think of and last week I saw one of them for the second time. Indeed, Maëlle (it's a French name haha) came over for a few days and I decided to share a little part of our week with you.


We took these photos in a photo booth the day she left. We took six and could only choose two so it was hard to pick out those we liked the most but actually I think both of them are great. 
The same day, we also went shopping, and I bought some cute things I'll probably show you soon (at the end of the summer!). We had lunch in a restaurant and I ordered fish n'chips (with rice instead of chips odd isn't it?). It was quite tasty even if I didn't liked the salad because I hate salad sauce more than anything! For dessert, I had a crepe, I didn't take any photograph of it because it wasn't particularly pretty so I thought it was useless to post it haha. Instead, I show you my mom's best friend's dessert which is a coffee with creme brulee, vanilla ice cream and madeleines. It's pretty, colourful, and seemed to taste good. 


The day before, I showed her the "town" I live in (i don't really know if it's considered as a town it's kinda small haha) and we hung Ed Sheeran's posters everywhere so people get to know him. I don't think it worked though since most of them were ripped off...However, it was great to share my love for this guy with the few people who saw it. Of course, while doing it, we were listenning to his new album X (I'll write a post about it as soon as possible). We actually spent the week listening to his and Nina Nesbitt's albums and even now that she left I can't stop playing them. The third photo was taken the same day. After finishing to hang all the posters we had, we went to a little park and there is Maëlle doing weird stuff while she's sat in the swing. 
Finally, the last photo was taken the last day. Indeed, while waiting in the train station, we saw this poster of the TFIOS movie which hasn't come out in France yet. (I wrote about the book and you can read it right here!) It was not something really important but I didn't expect to see Shailene and Ansel's cute faces so why not sharing them with you? haha 


Maëlle stayed 4 days so I only showed a little part of the time we spent together. Quite a long part of what I didn't show is related to One Direction and Nina and Ed's relationship so I SWEAR it's okay if I don't talk about it haha. 
Anyway, I'll see her again in February...AND THE SAME DAY I'LL SEE ED FUCKING SHEERAN DO YOU HEAR ME CRYING?....


SEE YA IN FEBRUARY FOR PART 2 DARLINGS


Oh, and now I know all 5sos members' faces and names omg aren't you proud of me?

HELLO WORLD


Hello guyyyys. I've been thinking about starting a blog for a really long time now and since I'm nearly on holidays (after those awful final exams ew) I've thought that it was the best occasion to. Truth to be told, I don't know how this really works and how I can manage to make you guys like my posts so if you have any suggestion just let me know on the comments bellow. 
Anyway, I think you expect me to introduce myself so there it is. First of all, my name is Jéssica Martins, I live in France at the moment but I used to live in Portugal where I was actually born. I spend my time watching tvshows instead of studying which I will probably regret when I am a single 50 year-old cat lady. I complain all day about not having enough money to buy the clothes I'd like to wear and that's basically everything you need to know about me. 
I'll try to post as many things as I can and about as many subjects as possible so once again if you'd like to read something in particular tell me! 


You can follow me on twitter if you want to read things about that shitty life of mine. 
You can also find me on bloglovin'.
