Hey there everyone! I a couple days late with my weekly round up post and I apologize. With the blog going haywire, me being a pain crisis and having to study for an exam, I just wasn't able to get this post up and stuck with a couple pre-scheduled reviews. I didn't even have a New Blogs on The Block post up. I am really sorry for that.
Well, good news is that the blog seems to be working ok now, not perfect, but functioning. Im still in a pain crisis and I had to drop out of school. Why? You might ask... My dad has just lost his job and we have come to the decision that we are moving back to Brazil. If you didn't know, I'm originally from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and now I'll be going back to it after living out of Rio for 10 years. I am terrified, but surprisingly excited about this new challenge.
Enough about me hehe Let's get to the week in Review!
