Half a day in my life
Hey everyone. So today is going to be a bit different of a post, this is going to be “Half a day in my life” So here it is.
Yesterday my friend and I decided to go to Dave & Buster's. I’m not a big gamer so normally I just spend all my credits (which are like tokens) on one game thats super easy and i’ll get about 40-150 tickets each time, so it’s pretty easy to get a lot of tickets but that day I started with horrible luck, I only won 4 tickets at a time. So I gave up on that game, I had spent nearly 40 credits and only won 12 tickets, and I was on a mission.
My friend and I had gone into the prize room to check out the prizes. I’d decided I wanted to try to win a Despicable Me pillow pet and my friend wanted a rainbow llama cause she love llamas. Anyways so she needed 750 tickets and I needed 1800 tickets.
We walked around a little bit and played a few games and then we decided to test our luck on one of those games where there are lights that will light-up and go around in a circle. The point of the game is to press the button when the green bulb lights up, well I’ve never been good at these games but I thought I’d have a little fun. I swiped my card and got my hand ready. I smacked the button and the machine started to light up like crazy. I was really confused for a second and then realized what had happened, I’d won the 1,000 ticket jackpot! I couldn’t believe it, I don’t normally have very good luck but I guess yesterday was just a good day.
So after that my friend and I played a few more games, we really liked to compete in the Crossy Road game, but then we moved on.
We decided to play the Angry Birds game, so we swiped our cards and sat down. My friend got 30 tickets on her first try. Then I went and somehow hit all the pigs on the first try, and won the 500 ticket bonus. She went again and won 50 tickets. And I went and won the 500 ticket bonus again! I didn’t know how I was doing it but I was. Then my friend one a 500 ticket bonus twice on a different game! We were just having the best time.
We started to walk around and we noticed that everyone was carrying giant stuffed animals. We started to look around and found a giant claw machine, if other people could do it then we could right? So we waited in line and made friends with the girls behind us. They had already one about 4-5 and said it was really easy.
We stepped up and I went first. I went for a giant red dog and on the first try somehow I got it! I played again because I had accidently swiped my card twice and the claw picked up two more giant animals, but they dropped them. My friend didn’t win anything, so we got back in line. When we got back to the front I went again. I won an alligator and another red dog at the same time! I gave the red dog to my friend and the alligator to my brother. Next my friend went but didn’t get anything. We got in line for one last time and I won a giant chick or duckling, and my friend won a basket ball for her brother and a giant polar bear for herself.
That night we won two red dogs, a duckling, an alligator, a polar bear, and a basket ball. And we bought two pillow pets, two llamas, and a bunch of candy.

Hey everyone, today I’m doing a mini haul. Most of the things are from Forever 21 but I will try to link all the items under the pictures.
This is a shirt from ivory ella, they donate 10% or their proceeds to the elephants who are being killed for their tusks. This was a limited edition item but here’s the website:
This bag was about $22 from Forever 21 and I love it. It’s a little small but perfect for carrying around your phone and wallet.
(Sorry I couldn’t find this item on their website)
I got this flannel, it is super soft and comfortable, I super excited to where it!
These shorts are high-waisted and I love them.
These shorts are so comfy, I’m wearing them right now. They are so soft and just plain comfortable.
I hope you all liked this mini haul! If you would like more make sure to comment below!

DIY ~ Wall photo Collage
You will need:
- Laptop
- Printer
- Scissors
- Tape
First, go online or on Pinterest and search for whatever images or quotes that you would like to be in the collage. I did a black and white theme but you can pick whatever theme you want.
Next put them into a google document. I changed the color of my page to a light gray so that when I printed the images out I would be able to see the edges of the images, you don’t need t0do this unless you have a picture with a white background.
Next print and cut out your images.
After you cut them out, lay the pictures on the ground and play with the design until you are happy
Finally, tape the images onto your wall, and your done!
Hope you all enjoyed this post! Sorry I haven’t posted in awhile but life is slowing down now :)

Hey guys
So if you are in school you are most likely going to be having some big tests coming up and I want to help you all prepare! I’m going to be doing a few posts on different things that you should do/have during testing.
The number one thing that I think everyone should have is highlighters. They make studying more fun and help me remember things. But only highlight keywords and phrases, not every word on the page.
Fill out a calendar for the weeks that you have testing
Make daily goals and write down when you have the test and what subject
Lastly, take breaks, you don’t want to be studying for hours without breaks or you will get tired and have a harder time concentrating!

Hey everyone,
How has your week been? I’ve decided that posting Weekly Wrap-ups isn’t something that I look forward to and I want to find something else to post weekly. I’m thinking either parts of a story i’m writing or some sort or diy or life hack. I’ll be posting a picture on my instagram asking what you guys would like me to post. Sorry I’m not going to be super active because. My school has been state testing and will continue testing for another two weeks so i’ve been stressed about that. Anyways leave a comment on this post or on a picture on instagram what you think I should post weekly.Sunday, April 10, 2016
Hey guys!
So today I am going to be starting weekly wrap-up posts where I blog about my week and insert pictures I’ve taken and things like that, some weeks like this week will be less interesting than others but I hope you all enjoy!
Monday: A lot of people start their weeks with Sunday but I feel like Sunday is an ending not a beginning, i’m not sure why but yeah. Monday I didn’t do much, went to school - had my favorite lunch (tomato soup & grilled cheese) - we started a new project and had testing in social studies which I got a 92% I believe
Tuesday: S.T.E.M class was going well, I have almost done with all the assignments. That’s honestly all I remember.
Wednesday: Everything went downhill :/ in S.T.E.M class we had to make an animation and I wasn’t very good at them so when I made them they didn’t work too well so I decided not to save them, but then when I fully finished it said my teacher had to check them all so I had to redo them all. I was super stressed out on a science test but my teacher said I did well so that’s good. I also went to youth group but not the one I’m used to going to so it wasn’t as much fun.
Thursday: I was looking forwards to getting to go home- I had a really boring first two bells. It was a pretty normal day but S.T.E.M was a pain so I had pretty much been awaiting the weekend.
Friday: First two bells were better but then S.T.E.M came and we were almost done with an assignment animation when the computer shut off and we lost all our work. When I got home I didn’t feel well so I laid down but then we went to skyzone and that was fun.
Saturday: My grandparents came over for part of the day and My mom, grandma, cousin, and I all went to paint pottery. After that my cousin and I painted with watercolors for a while. When they went home we decided to go to Dave and Busters and I won the jackpot of 500 points but I didn’t end up spending very many tickets/points - I just got two things of candy.
Sunday: My mom and I helped in kids church and then my whole family went to a church service. After that we had Mexican for lunch. We went shopping at an outlet mall for a few hours , I got running shorts, jean shorts, a dress, a shirt, and I bought a phone case but later returned it because it didn’t fit my phone correctly. After shopping we went to pick up the foosball table we had been looking at and we just got it set up.
So that's been my week I was going to insert some pictures but I don’t have a wifi connection at the moment to download them to google so I will upload them as soon as possible or just add them to next week’s weekly wrap-up.

Hey guys! So I’ve been trying to think of ideas of what to blog about and I can’t think of any that don’t take a lot of time so if you you have any ideas please leave suggestions in the comments below. Today is going to be a different type of post. I thought it would be fun to do an A-Z list. If you don’t know what an A-Z list is it’s when you list out the alphabet and put one word for each letter that either describes you or is something that you like. (ex. A- Animals)
A - Australian Shepherd- I love this dog breed so much. I think they are just so pretty with their blue eyes and grey and brown splotches.
B - Babysitting - I love babysitting, when I get older I’d love to have a job involving young kids. My dream job would probably be a daycare owner, my daycare babysitter when I was young really inspired me to have my own small daycare.
C - Camping - I love camping in tents, but I don’t like camping in the winter because I never want to get out of my sleeping bag. I love sitting around the campfire and making dinner or s'mores.
D - Donuts - I love donuts so much. At the moment I’m doing this thing called the Donut Trail and basically has a list of donut shops that you go to to get a code and once you have the all the codes you get a free t-shirt.
E- Elephants - Elephants are one of my favorite animals, I think they are so beautiful. I hate that people would hurt an animal just to make money.
F- The Flash - The Flash is my favorite TV show. It’s about a guy (Barry Allen) who gets struck by lightning and gets super speed, but other people also get super powers and he basically has to protect the city from them.
G- Greece - I really want to travel to Greece (among other places). I think their white and blue architecture is beautiful and their beachers are so cool.
H- Horses- As you can probably see, I really like animals. Although horses aren’t one of my top favorite animals, I still love to ride them. My dad used to ride and so I think that's why I like to. I don’t ride for sport, just for fun when we go camping, but I’d love to find a place that I could ride just with my dad, not in a line with other people and a leader.
I- Irish - This summer I am having a foreign student from Ireland, she will be staying for a month and we will be doing really fun things with a group of other students, both Irish and American.
J- Julia - Julia is my best friend. She is super nice and funny and is always there for me during hard times. We walk to the ice cream place that is our town and I’m currently trying to teach her how to ripstik.
K- Kings Island - I love going to Kings Island with my friends over the summer. My favorite ride is the Diamond back even though I get scared to go on it every time, I’m not really sure why though. I also love spending the day at the waterpark and relaxing in the lazy river and wave pool or playing a game of sand volleyball
L- Lush - I love the store lush because of their bath bombs. I recently took a trip there and got the Humpty Dumpty bath bomb, Fluffy Egg bath bomb, and the Flamingo bubble bar wand, which I’m super excited about because I’ve never used one of their bubble bars before
M- Milkshake - I love milkshakes… a lot. Everytime we drive by McDonald's I always want a milkshake, they are just so good!
N- Nothing - Ok I’ve been think for ten minutes and can’t think of something for N, so I’m going to talk about my obsession with bunnies since I already have a B. I love bunnies so much. I’m not sure why, I’m not sure how the obsession started but a few months ago I decided I really wanted a bunny. The only thing standing in my way from getting one is my dog. My dog would probably eat my bunny so I can’t get one.
O- Owls - owls are cool… this is a lot harder than I thought it would be.
P- Puppies - you can’t tell be puppies aren’t one of the cutest creatures alive… after bunnies of course
Q- Quick - I run cross country in summer/fall so I’m pretty quick i guess. My personal record is 14.50 for two miles I think
R- rock climbing - I love to rock climb. I’m belay certified and I hope to be able to Lead climb soon. I also hope to be able to climb outside one day because I only climb in gyms right now
S- Same - I probably say the word same about 100 times a day for some reason
T- Taken - in love with my fridge <3
U- Unicorn - I hope one day that unicorns become real, because I think that’d be pretty cool
V- skip
W- Waves - I love doing to the beach and like boogie boarding over waves
X- X-ray - fun fact X-ray is the only word I know starting with X and I’ve never gotten an X-ray before
Y- Yawn - I suppose I yawn a lot
Z- Zzzzzzz- I also like to sleep, it’s my passion
Okay so that's my A-Z list. It was a lot harder that I thought it would be but I hope you enjoyed it. Don’t forget to comment blog ideas below.

Hey guys! So this blog post is on how to make these diys. I also want to start doing some sort of weekly blog post, maybe a weekly wrap-up, favorites, or maybe I could start writing the book I’ve been brainstorming and post a chapter a week. Leave ideas in the comments below or on my instagram (linked below). Also would you like me to start doing monthly favorite posts?
Diy #1
This string art is super easy to make, the supplies you will need are listed below:
- Animal geo outline (I used the one below)
- String (craft store or target)
- Slab of wood
- Nails
- Hammer
- Paint (optional)
- The first thing that you are going to want to do if print out an outline, I searched Elephant geo outline and found mine but you can search for whatever animal you want.
2.) Next lay down the outline on your wood, take a nail and hammer it into the wood at any point of the elephant (wherever the lines connect to other lines)
3.) After you've finished nailing you are going to take your string and go around all the nails in a crisscross pattern, it may take a few times to get the perfect look, don’t worry it doesn’t have to be perfect
4.) Lastly you can paint a design on the wood (you can also do this before you hammer the nails in)
Diy #2
For this diy you will need:
- A succulent
- Mason jar
- Small rocks
- Dirt
- First fill jar with a thin layer of rocks, then a thicker layer of dirt
- Plant your succulent and then add another thin layer of rocks
- Finally add bigger rocks, flowers, moss and other decorations
Diy #3
For this diy you will need:
- Paint
- A canvas
- Sponge brushes
- Paper towels
- Paper plates
- First start off with a blank canvas, I painted my black but that’s optional
- Start painting globs of different colored paint close together (purple, pink, and blue)
- Next you want to take your paper towel and pat the wet paint, this will give the paint a neat galaxy design
- Keep repeating these steps until the canvas is covered and you like the finished product
I hope you guys liked these diys! Don’t forget to leave to suggestions in the comment section below!
