What Tech Week Looks Like + SURPRISES and Disappointments

Image
Hey Guys! I’m really sorry.  I haven’t posted in quite a while, but I was very busy.  For now, let’s catch up on what been happening in this crazy life of mine, starting with tech week.    August 7 th This was our first day of tech week.  People always complain about it, because the cast doesn’t do much.  Just the crew.  But personally, I enjoy it the most.  Getting to the theatre, finding places for our costumes and filming.  Everything was great.  My favorite part was a little adventure after dinner…  Almost everyone was still eating, but I wanted to finish early and do my makeup in the dressing room.  After that I decided to join everyone again.  Out on stage I met up with two of my castmates.  Let’s call them Caleb and Blake.  I really wanted to go exploring the building, but not alone so the three of us went together.  First, we found some random rooms, then one full of lights.  After a little while we went outside.  There were these st

Friendship Day + What My Closest Friends Taught Me

Hello! How are you?  I still can’t believe it’s August.  I know I haven't been posting often, but I've been very busy.  Guess what?  Tomorrow is National Friendship Day!  I really wanted to do a post about it, but I'm trying to stick to my blog schedule, so I compromised and posted it today.     My friends have taught me lots of things .  Sometimes I’ve gotten a little bugged with them, and sometimes I’ve tried their patience.  But not matter what, we stick together.  Here are a few things I’ve learned from my three closest friends. Lolly (because who is a better friend than my sister?) Stand up for yourself.   Don’t ever let people walk all over you.  If they don’t care about you, then there is no reason to care about them. You are safe.  God will always protect you.  You are loved, and there is nothing that can change that. It’s okay to cry.  Just don’t lose hope.  Pip, you just need to sleep.  Everything will seem better

A Beautiful Disaster Blog Tour

Image via Pinterest Guess what?   My blogger, writer, batgirl friend is publishing her book!   I am thrilled to participate in her blog tour, but it’s kind of nerve racking since I’m the last one posting about it.   I mean, it’s the grand finale and all.   Anyway, enough about me.   This is about Daisy and her amazing book, A Beautiful Disaster .   The girl Daisy Louise Paquet is an Internet-addicted, self-proclaimed nerd. She likes coffee, books, and sci-fi movies. She may accidentally attack you with sarcasm and Batman references from time to time, but she promises to be nice. She currently resides in a galaxy far, far away with her family and cat. From Goodreads. Just look at that gorgeous cover.   The book Here is the fabulous synopsis that took me forever to find because I don’t have a Goodreads account therefore don’t know how it works. When Wither is crowned king of the faerie, he knows that it is up to him to free his peopl

I am Stronger + Loving Life

Image
Hello, hello! I must tell the truth , I have no idea where I’m going with this post.   I had one written and almost ready to publish in a Word document on my Mom’s computer.   Then our Mom went out of town, taking her laptop with her.   So here I am, with no idea what to say.   I guess life is always like that.   You can plan, prepare, and schedule, but in the end, you don’t know what will happen.   Even bad things don’t always end up happening.   I need to learn I have no control.   Sometimes that’s really scary, but isn’t that what our faith is about?   Trusting God to keep us steady when nothing else will? Over the last few years, my faith has been tested in countless ways.   But God always gave me strength to pull through .   I can remember crying and crying, I remember the pain and it brings tears to my eyes, but look at me!   I am happy, healthy, and loved .   No matter what, God was always loving me.   And he always will .   I have the assurance.      

I'm Finally Back + Exciting News

Image
Image via Pinterest Hey Everyone! I seem to have taken a brief (but much needed) blogging hiatus.  I was feeling a little discouraged and uninspired.  This time has helped me to refresh my mind while coming up with tons to talk about in upcoming posts.  And now, even when I finally post again, it's just a short one.   But   one filled with an exciting announcement...  I checked my number of followers sometime last week.  It was a measly 21.   This was the beginning of my blog burnout .  I was feeling discouraged.  On Saturday I checked my stats, and I had an amazing 90 followers!  It's amazing that people actually want to read my writing.  People all over the place are going to read these words I write. This afternoon I checked my stats and  literally squealed .  I now have  a gigantic 222 followers!   I don't know where all of this traffic come from, but I'm not complaining! As a celebration I'm doing a  giveaway !  I haven't figured out a

How to Achieve Flawless Skin

Perfect skin.  How do people do it? Today I am here to tell you how to clear up your skin , plus give you support when those spots won’t go away.  But first, keep in mind I am by no means an expert on the subject.  I’m only telling you what works for me.  And above all, remember there is no such this as absolutely flawless skin.  You will always have a few beauty marks, but those were put there especially for you!  Embrace your uniqueness.   I know the feeling of waking up in the morning, not wanting anyone to  see your face because it’s covered with spots.   So, you layer on the concealer and foundation until you feel presentable .  I hate being uncomfortable about my face .   Seriously, I hate it.   A while ago my skin was so flaky and irritated that my foundation started failing me.  I decided to figure out what worked best for my skin and try it out for at least a month, because what I was doing wasn’t working.  And guess what?  My skin is practically perfec

Early Writing Tag

Hello there! How was your Forth?  Ours was, um, interesting.  It wasn’t what I expected, but I think it was still good.  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Last week Abbiee did a wonderful post (and tag) about her horrendous childhood writings .  It was very comical and I enjoyed it very much.  You can read all about it here.  But she didn’t stop there!  Abbiee made a tag of her own, which I am proudly participating in, thanks Abbiee!  Let’s dive in! What horrendous book did you write as a child? So many.   Seriously, I don’t know what happened to most of them, but there are truly so many.  I guess I’ve always been a writer at heart, but maybe not always a good writer.  I’ll start with the first book I can remember.  Bosom Friends I believe I wrote this right after seeing Anne of Green Gables for the first time .  I was only 4 and had no idea how to write anything, so I got my older sister ( Lolly ) to
