Hey Baby! (8 page)
Shall I tell you the bad news now? It’s bad all right. Bad as can be.
Remember that photographer who came to Rosie’s house? You thought that cheesy picture was just for Juice’s private album, didn’t you? Wrong, wrong, WRONG!
The Quormbys had a big shock when they saw their precious baby girl plastered all over the front page of the Mercury. They thought she’d been asleep in her cot, not grooving the night away with pop stars!
It was an excellent picture. You could see everything. The pattern on Rosie’s mum’s sofa. The soppy smile on Fliss’s face as Juice sang to us. The photograph was so sharp, you could even see the modern art splatters on Morgan’s sleepsuit. And to think we nearly got away with it…
I don’t blame the Quormbys for being livid with us. But now the M&Ms are convinced we invited Juice to our sleepover just to spite them. I hate to think what they’re cooking up to pay us back. (Though I’d lurve to have seen their faces when they saw that picture in the Mercury. Heh heh heh!)
So, like I told you, I’m lying low, until the fuss dies down. It’ll be good practice for when I’m a world-famous actress, dodging the press! But before I go, let me tell you something I found out at Rosie’s sleepover. Two things actually.
1) I am going to make an excellent big sister
and…
2) I’d better catch up on my sleep while I can!!
OK, I’m going in to face the music now. Cross your fingers and thumbs, won’t you. It’s been great seeing you. Bye!!
I just lurve silver nail polish, but whatever colour’s your fave, here’s how to get fab looking nails.
(very important)
Remove any old nail polish using a mild nail-polish remover.
Wash your hands with soap – use a nail brush to get the nails super clean – and pat dry.
Apply some cuticle cream or hand moisturiser.
Prepare a bowl of warm water and soak your hands for about ten minutes. Pat hands dry.
Push cuticles gently using an orange stick (check out your pharmacy).
Trim your nails if you need to, and smooth off gently with a nail file.
Pick out your fave colour – how about something glittery if you’re going to a party?
Start with a stroke of polish down the centre of your nail, then one either side.
Remember to wait until the first coat is dry before applying the second coat.
Drink lots of water to keep your hands hydrated.
Calcium (milk, yogurt, broccoli, cheese), zinc (red meat) and iron (chicken, breakfast cereals with fortified iron) are all good for healthy nails.
Rub your nails with a buffer for a shiny, healthy look that’s polish free!
