Sparkles & 10 ugliest items

Hi!
There's finally an underwater item, it's about time...
So sparkly :o Apart from that I find it pretty boring because it's member :c
But I can't complain, there has been a lot of stuff for non-members lately (especially during the Jamaalidays, which I have to catch up on- groaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan)
I don't like trading because when I want a certain item people always run away/lie etc. 
It's so annoying! Finding the actual item is more difficult than actually getting them to accept because people are greedy and want to take advantage of you, making you do an overtrade :c I know it's better to just trade for the item without asking for it but everyone just  has spieakes and founderz on trade :c And in all honesty it's boring, everyone has virtually the same trade lists, I'm not impressed by pixel spiky collars on trade. 
So I have to fish out greedy people instead. Ugh. When an honest person comes along I'm so happy and sometimes give them a little extra for that, being greedy won't get you anywhere! Or at least with me, anyway.

Anyway, rants aside (though there is a rant coming to my YouTube channel today or tomorrow!)
Here's my promised list of the 10 ugliest items in AJ, according to me!
ACCORDING TO ME. NOT YOU, ME. Disagree, or agree- I don't mind, as long as you don't comment with a full-blown rant about how much of an idiot I am to consider certain rarez ugly -_-

Not my problem. Not at all.
Animal Jam's 10 Ugliest Items
What were the artists thinking?
All picture courtesy to GOOGLE :3

10- Glitched Ring (Summer 2013, briefly sold)
Eww, this is disgusting- enough said. Come on. Wanna wear an eye on your paw? Okay. Go ahead. Don't come to me if you get nightmares though. Everyone knows the story of the Glitched Ring. For those that don't, it was sold in Summer 2013, when the turquoise ring first came out. At the time,there were only two colours- both are now ''rur''. The first one is less known and very hard to distinguish between its very similar cousin. However, this one... oh eww. I bought it when it was first on sale, tried it on, then thought to myself- ''oh, eww. This is ugly. It looks like an eye. Nope.'' then I recycled it. If you want a nice ring, go buy one from Epic Wonders. The colours are much nicer than this freaky thing.

9- Dragon Glove (Monthly Member Gift June 2011- Golden counterpart given in June 2012 <3)

The <3 next to June 2012 is because I have so many good memories from that time. Sorry TuT I should make a post about the whole concept of MMGs. No, a separate page. Yar :3 I don't know! Anyway. I don't like the look of those gloves. They're so weird and bulky and don't really look good :c They look quite cool on crocodiles and on bunnies (but everything looks good on bunnies). Apart from that, not a fan. Sorry glove :c
8- This wonderful selection of store items





They don't have their own slots because there wouldn't be enough space. Anyway, I don't like those- they look so weird DX I forgot to add the mammoth tusks, but you get the idea- some store items are pretty darn weird and ugly. Especially the shoes (shudders)

7- Eyeball Hat
Eww. I don't like this item- it's scary! The 'beta' one especially because of it's freaky colour scheme- how the 'beta' hat came to be is debated, was it sold for a short amount of time? The most commonly believed theory is that it was given by AJHQ to a few select Jammers during Hallowe'en 2010, maybe it was a prize? Back then AJHQ used to visit Jamaa, and sometimes they hosted games/ contests- perhaps that was a prize? Who knows? Anyway, I don't like eyeball hats, in my opinion the order of ugliness is, from most to least...
1.2012-2014 eyeball hats (eww)
2.2010 eyeball hat/beta eyeball hat
3.2011 eyeball hats!
I admit, it's cute & comical when two people wearing those sit together :3
I honestly don't know why someone would want to trade for a 'beta' eyeball hat, apart from to show off/ trade for more stuff :/ Some people like to wear it, and that's fine ^o^

6-  Tiki Mask/ Mask
Meh,I'm not a fan of tiki masks. In 2014, around the time of the eagle adventure, I managed to get my hands on one (I don't have it right now). They're not very attractive and don't really look good with.. well... most outfits, to be honest. If you can find an outfit that this mask looks good with, congrats c:




5- Clown Mask (Hallowe'en)
Oh, what is that even. This is just scary. Who in their right mind would even wear this... thing? Except for Hallowe'en of course. No, just no. The hair, the eyes, the nose, and the DARN MOUTH. I can't stand to look at this anymore. Goodbye.

4- Yeti Face
A pretty strange item, the Yeti Face looks weird o-o There's a glitched version, which is quite similar to the glitched ring if you look at the backstory. It's just not a pretty item (in my opinion). End of story :3

3- Beard

Small, ugly... but in some outfits, it doesn't look THAT bad, but it doesn't stop it from being an ugly item anyway XD
Once extremely rare (the rarest item in the game used to be the orange beard), the beard isn't worth that much now- not even a spiked wristband in some cases.  What used to be fairly weird was when a female player, wearing a feminine outfit, would wear a beard PURELY FOR THE PURPOSE OF SHOWING OFF. It wasn't ALWAYS the case, but when it was- I thought AJ was about expressing YOUR style? Not showing off some pixels? (Rares aren't even THAT difficult to get, as long as you have a few extra hours to spare for going on the computer every day) 


2- Hat & Beard


Cute? Certainly. Pretty? Maybe not so. Great for Christmas, not so beyond. Doesn't look great (in my opinion), but some people manage to find a way to squeeze this item into a good outfit ^o^ 

1- Frankenstein Mask
This... is not beauty. Fab costume, not so fab outfit. As with the Hat & Beard, might be squeezed into an outfit- but otherwise, I don't like this item so much, but it looks cute on bunnies and I like the lightning bolt.

Of course, those are not the only ugly items on Animal Jam. Here are just some items worthy of a mention-

Most other Hallowe'en Masks


Spooky.

Rhino Helmet, though it looks cute on bunnies :3

Spieaks

Anyway,  before I close off- sign up to beta test the plushie store in the making! You will receive a Jamagram like this:

Thank you and bye :3

First post back ^-^

Hello everyone :D
Today is president's day!
So when I said I was coming back... the truth is I didn't >o<
But now I made up my mind and I'm like... Right, let's go back :D
YAY
So let's do my first post back :D
I'M SO EXCITED :) :) :)
I'm also going to start catching up with items I missed when I was away
Because I'm a completionist (that's not a word but okay I guess you can figure out what it means)


Oh and if you're wondering about the look of this blog
I'll give it a Valentine's Theme, and on the 16th until the end of February this blog will have a regular winter theme. And on the first of March it's going to be a spring theme!!!
YAY!
Can't wait until Spring :)
Oh, and I'm also back to making videos again :)
It's on a separate channel under this account .
Anyway, this isn't much... just today's new item  and a few updates, then better posts from tomorrow (including a post on the ugliest items on AJ)
New items...
Today is Rare Item Monday, and today's item is still holding up the friendship festival spirit!
Out of interest, did you do anything for the friendship festival/Valentine's day? I didn't really :c
Oh well xD
Anyway...
This one's quite easy to get- on the second page of the catalog in Jam-Mart clothing. The colours are so cute :D
The price isn't even THAT bad.
I'd give it a 7/10 :p

Next item is a classic favourite that always comes back at this time of year... I remember back in 2012 they were actually worth quite a bit, people associated them with the same group as items like bamboo (it was rare back then), small tables, porch swings even, etc... 
It's the cherry tree!
I was like :DDDDD when I first saw it come back in 2013. Then it returned in 2014, and now in 2015...
The only downside is that it's member... and if only it was 150-250 gems cheaper... :P
I wonder why it comes back at this specific time of year though. It always comes back with the curly wig items, which are there for President's Day.
I don't celebrate and in all honesty never heard of it until Animal Jam, so I wonder what cherry trees have to do with it.
Now that I've researched it, it's something to do with George Washington.
ANYWAY!
BLOG UPDATES!
*All the fancy side gadgets- updated
*New poll
*New look!
*New music!


IMPORTANT!
NEW PLUSHIE STORE COMING SOON!
EYETOYPUFFX WILL HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BETA TEST IT, IF SHE CAN! NOT TOO LATE TO SIGN UP, SO COMMENT IF YOU WANT TO!
See you, and enjoy the blog's new look!

I CURRENTLY HAVE A ONE-WEEK HALF-TERM BREAK AND FOR THE REST OF THIS WEEK I WILL TRY TO POST AT 1AM AJ TIME (8AM FOR ME)
YAY

Happy New Year [:

All the best to everyone who reads this ^o^
I hope you stay true to your New Year's Resolutions <3
I visited AJ today but then again probably won't for a little while >.<
If you're wondering how I'm doing (even though I quit like a week ago lol) I'm doing well without AJ, not any worse. I'm planning on selling handmade stuff and I'm in the process of making a little Elsa figurine. Why? Because despite Frozen being a year old Frozen stuff sells well XD
I'm going to try making enough money to get a DSi XL and then I want to buy individual gifts for my family members, but part of my profits will also need to go towards materials.
Playing Animal Crossing some more, hur hur.
New Year's eve yesterday was really fun ^o^
That's a little update, I'm hoping to finish my Elsa figurine today then I want to make some earrings! XD

Righty! Choo choo (do trains actually make that noise?) because today's gift is... the gift express! PLEASE MIND THE GAP BETWEEN THE TRAIN AND THE PLATFORM!
Lots of lovely gifts for you!
CHRISTMAS CHRISTMAS CHRISTMAS ;U;
Thankfully it's my last week before Christmas holidays. Then I can enjoy my well-deserved break!
My History teacher be like
OH YOU TOTALLY HAVE NOTHING PLANNED OUT FOR YOUR SHOULD-BE RELAXING CHRISTMAS HOLIDAYS SO DO THIS ESSAY AND POSTER!
Yeah, school is even stressing us out when we should be relaxing.
SO THEREFORE I MAKE A PLEDGE TO DO ALL MY HOMEWORK THE DAY  I GET IT THIS WEEK SO I CAN RELAX!
This means some of my posts might be delayed a little bit :3
Anyway we also have a Rare Item Monday item...
It's a rare topcoat and in very festive Jamaaliday colors :3
Which look a bit messed up to be honest xD
Anwyay, that's all for today. My finger looks kinda nasty lol.

Jamaaliday update!

Hello!
Today is the Jamaaliday update, although most of this came out on the 1st of December already. However, here's what's going on in Jamaa for the Jamaalidays!
The official announcement that Jamaalidays are here! :D This is definitely my favourite time of year, now could somebody pass me some hot chocolate?
If you were fortunate enough to be a member in December 2011/2012 then you were lucky enough to receive this as a monthly member gift for free (remember those?), but if you missed out, you can purchase your very own gingerbread house den for 5 diamonds! Yes, that is sort of expensive, but members also do get lots of bonus diamonds throughout December, right?
If you didn't know yet- you can purchase some past Jamaaliday gifts in the Diamond Shop, for one Diamond each. Of course, you could just trade for them, which isn't at all that difficult. There is also a new buddy game, pairs!

Gift Scarves

Hey!
Today's Jamaaliday gift is a returning one, the classic bag of gifts!
Ah, makes me think of this scam someone once attempted >.<
Okay, so this is what happened...
One person had two accounts. One of them had a bunch of rares on trade,and were asking for a bag of gifts. This was sometime in January 2013 >-<'
Their other account just happened to have a bag of gifts on trade. Coincidence much? However, the main account didn't start trading for their bag of gifts. Hmm. After some time, people eventually started trading theirs, but the main account said ''No, I want <insert name of storage>'s one!''. Thankfully nobody fell for the scam. The aim was to get people to overtrade for the storage's bag of gifts, thinking they would get the rares on the trade list of the main account. Nuh-uh. Not happening!
Today's item is also returning, and for all Jammers! Woo! :D The classic Jamaaliday scarf is a must-have for Jamaa's winter ^o^ It will definitely keep you warm :3
It also comes in various colours, and is actually very popular all year round, so my advice to you is to stock up on them! 
In other news, I drew an orange version of Hatsune Miku...
I thought you might be interested or something x3

I love hot chocolate, both in real life and on Animal Jam. The Autumn and Winter is definitely the best time to grab one in the Cocoa Hut! If you have no clue whatsoever what I'm talking about, here's how to make your own hot chocolate drink on Animal Jam!
  1. Go to the cocoa hut, and click on the purple game controller. 

    2. Your cocoa making has begun! Choose a cup type.
    You might go for a goblet, or for a cup... it's up to you!
    Time to choose a colour...
    Choose your drink, it's honestly all up to you! Milk, coffee, tea, cocoa... all possible!
    A lesser known fact is that you can change the temperature of your drink using the lever in the corner! ^-^
    You can choose either cream or marshmallows to go in your drink, then choose your final addition and you're officially done! 
    Enjoy your chocolate! :D

    That's all I have for today, see you tomorrow! :D

Gingerbread Elf

Hello!
Today's gift is also brand-new, and super adorable!
Aww, I love it! <3 So delicious :)
Today's new item is a classic, the jolly elf hat! Baww, it's so cute :3
For some reason, December's birthstone has not appeared in stores yet. Strange. 
I don't really know what to write about e.e
Hey, seems like one of the brand-new items in Jamaa Township have ended up in our gift calendars! 

Does this mean... 
We will also be seeing those in our dens soon?




Aren't they wonderful?
Do you know what you want for Christmas yet, if you celebrate? Because of where I'm from, we also receive gifts on the 6th of December (which you may also know as St.Nicholas' day). It is custom to write a letter to 'Santa' a little beforehand, and to leave milk and cookies the night of December 5. I'm making hot chocolate ^-^
I hope I get everything on my list o3o
Some of the things I remember asking for...
This moonlight cushion is amazing! <3 The lights are so beautiful and this is simply something I MUST have this winter!
MINE MINE MINE.
Hey if I don't get it I'm going to the North Pole. In a rage -3-
The other thing I asked for...
Some polymer clay! <3 You can make such AWESOME things with it, for instance... from simple but beautiful charms like ...
All the way to masterpieces like this!

Hmm, I know I asked for more... but I can't really remember >u<
See you all tomorrow, happy day 2 of December! :D
