Hello everyone! I just got back from my recent trip and still recovering (and a bit lazing around, I suppose). I know it's not too late but I want to introduce you guys to this book by Zoe Cruz called Beastia. If you are one of those who love fairy tales and interested in reading the modern versions of it (like me), then this book is a cool addition to your TBR pile or your must-read list. Here's a brief background of the book and of course, an excerpt to give you a sneak peek on what's in store for you!
Summary:
The meanest of the mean girls, Rebekah Austin rules her Chicago school with sharp outfits and an even sharper tongue. She has a way of making even the most beautiful and brilliant girls in her class feel like dirt. But underneath the queen-bee façade is someone who feels ugly, repulsive…beastly.
When Rebekah falls prey to a madman, the bully becomes the bullied. Scarred and tormented, she abandons her previous life and adopts a new identity, but her ghastly appearance haunts her everywhere she goes. Only with the help of determined friends can she move past her horrifying experience—and maybe even let herself be loved.
And if the madman returns to finish what he started, will she be ready, or will she give up hope? (From Goodreads)

Fairy Tales
Flannel gown. As soon as the word sunk in my mind, I imagined Wendy telling stories about pirates, mermaids, and fairies to her younger brothers. I watched her as she dozed off by the window because of too much daydreaming. I also imagined Sarah, the little princess, telling her friends different stories from dragons to castles to princesses and knights.
This is actually one trait that I shared with these two girls. I always fantasize, imagine and dream of wonderland where I get to see different places, different creatures and characters. This wonderland is my books. It is a magical piece of art where we feel whimsical and in a daze of fairy dust.
I picked this flannel gown because it is perfect for a little girl--or a lady--who sees herself as a princess who lives in a faraway castle. She can travel from one land to another without the royal guards noticing that she even left the room. It is perfect for running away from dragons, too because it is very loose. Her only weapons? A sprinkle of an enticing perfume will do to attract and find the most handsome and bravest knight or prince in all the lands. The bracelet charm that was a gift from her fairy godmother and other fairy friends to protect her from the evil witch and her wicked forces. The shoes that will be a perfect fit that once worn, will turn the flannel to a stunning dress.
Marion Quitasol's interpretation of Chapter 10:
Relaxing moments: Drinking champagne while listening to music or reading a good book in a rocker glider.
These are the things I imagine in the near future if I would be alone in my own house or an old apartment. Not that I'm planning to be single forever but, I still haven't seen myself with a family.
Matching a comfortable flannel long gown with a purple slippers are just right for this setting.

Anyhow, don't you just love fairy tales?
I, for one, have always been fond of princesses, knights, dragons and all that magical creatures. I think it greatly influenced me because I have this obsession for princesses and their remarkable adventures.
I have always dreamt of being a princess (hence the name of my blog) and I actually see myself as one. Who doesn't? I think every girl wants to have that tiara and fulfill the role of a princess. Of course the big dresses and the castles are just part of it, but romantically speaking, we also also dream of meeting our Prince Charming that will sweep us off our feet. As Snow White's song says, "Someday my prince will come..."
But how do we prepare ourselves when that moment comes? How can we achieve Snow White's beautiful blush white skin that our prince charming can't resist?
SKIN WHITE is the solution to our dilemma. It has SYNCHROWHITE ACTION that works in FOUR ways all at the same time:
WHITENS the skin’s surface
REDUCES formation of new dark pigments at its source
NOURISHES skin with Vitamins
PROTECTS skin against toxins and UV rays
