School Time!

Hello! I'm back! And sadly, yes, it's that time of year again! School is just around the corner! I start school on Wednesday and I have to admit I am a little bit excited! I finally found out who my teachers are so that's exciting! And get this! My math teacher from last year is also going to be my math teacher this year! I am so excited about that! She was the most amazing teacher ever! Anyway! I figured that if you guys wanted me to I could do a back to school haul! Comment below if you want me to! I also just wanted to say that since school's starting back up I may not post as often. I know I hardly post now but I'm trying to get better at it! At least once a month I would like to post! Anyway! That's about it for this post! And comment below when you go back to school and what you're most excited about! My answer: I already said I'm starting on Wednesday and I'm probably most excited about homeroom because I get to be in an advanced art homeroom this year! Also the fact that I'm starting the color guard team this year! Yay!


See you next time!

P.S. Shoutout to my Aunt Annita! She wanted me to do a guest post on my mom's blog! What do you think! Should I?

My Theory

Hey guys! I know I haven't put up a post in a little while but that is a-okay! I'm here today with a little theory of mine!

You know how people are always saying we all need to eat healthy but you're just a little couch potato who likes chips? Well if you are, don't worry, I am too! But I don't mind eating healthy sometimes! I just like sticking to the minimum. You know, like fruit (strawberries, apples, and oranges) and vegetables (carrots and potato's! I like mine in the form of french fries, mashed, or baked! lol)! But why don't we eat healthy? Why is it so hard? It really isn't! Most of the time healthy stuff tastes good! REALLY good! ; ) So why?

WELL NOW IT IS FINALLY TIME FOR MY THEORY!!!!

My theory is that people don't even want to try eating something if it doesn't look appetizing!

If people make stuff  LOOK GOOD then people will at lest try it! Most of the time your brain's just like, "That's pretty looking! Let me have it!"

So tell me, would you eat this even if I told you it was healthy and the best thing you will ever taste in your life and there was nothing better than it anywhere!

I wouldn't! It looks disgusting!


Now, tell me if you would eat this even if it doesn't have things on it you might not like but your willing to try!

Honestly, I HATE broccoli but I would eat this! It looks delicious!

So, to end, I guess what I'm trying to say is,
"People, MAKE FOOD LOOK GOOD!"
Thank you!

My Sister's Photoshoot

So, on my friends birthday we did a photo shoot because she's going to a modeling school and needed to get some practice in. I showed my sister and ever since she was begging me to do one for her. So here are most of the pictures! (The ones she liked at least!)

I hope you enjoyed! Tell me what you want me to do next! See you next time!

Frutie Smoothie!

Hey guys! So today's post is a little bit different. It still has pictures in it but is also a tutorial on how to make a really cute (and delicious) smoothie!


What you need:

• a blender
• orange juice
• Dole Tropical Medley (pineapple, strawberries, and papaya)

Add three pieces of ice.

Blend in spurts for a couple seconds or until slushie-like.

Cut: 3 strawberry, 1 papaya, and 2 pineapple pieces

Pour in just a little bit of orange juice.

Put in the fruit.

It should look something like this.

Now blend.

When it looked like this,

I added one more of every fruit.

Blend.

Pour.

And your done!

That's it for this post! Tell me if you liked it and comment what else you'd like to see on the blog!

5 Fun Spring Break Ideas

Here are some fun (photo-related) spring break ideas!

1) If you're going anywhere then take your camera.
Choose the right kind of camera depending on where you're going. For example: we are probably going to a college campus to check it out for my sister. I wouldn't bring my big camera because, yes it is a beautiful campus and I want to get photos, but I don't want to carry around the big case and everything. I'll probably just bring my small camera that still takes great photos! I also might be going to the beach so for that I would bring my Nikon.

2) Try a new style.
No, I don't mean clothes! I mean a new style of photography! If you usually take pictures of people, try taking pictures of nature! Trust me it's gorgeous! Also, you don't want to take pictures of strictly one thing, you want to broaden your picture possibilities! That way, when you see something photogenic, you can take a really good picture of it and not just take one just to delete it because you don't like it!

3) Go on a road trip.
I don't mean one of those Hollywood road trips I just mean like, if you're going to see family then take your camera! I'm going to see some family later tonight actually for an Easter dinner. It's at my grandparent's house and to get there we take the scenic route so we pass a lot of farms and fields and old barns and it is just beautiful! I will definitely be taking my camera so that I can take pictures!

4) Try indoor photos.
This is something I've actually been wanting to try myself! I don't really have good backdrops though so I usually tend not to but really all you need is an old sheet and a way to hang it up! If you have an open window behind the camera when you take pictures the it lets in a lot of natural light to your photo and it looks great!

5) Edit!
If you're not one too edit your photos then try it! It's so much fun! One really good (FREE) cite I use is picmonkey.com! It's amazing and super easy! I like to add filters to my photos and give it that sepia look! Sometimes I put quotes on them like this:

It's a quote from a song by For King and Country (click here if you want to hear it!).




That's it for today! I hope you guys enjoyed! Questions or comments? Put them down below and I'll try to get back to you!

Sunrise Photoshoot

Who in their right mind wakes up on a Saturday at 6:30. A photographer that's who! Last week, on Saturday my sister woke me up at 6:30 and we rushed to drive to this certain spot in out town where the view is amazing! It'd been a dream of mine to be able to take those pictures! She drove me up there and apparently three other photographers had the exact same idea! Yes, it was 29 degrees outside, and yes, my nose was running like an icicle melting in the desert; but, I had a great time and took some great photos! Here's a few of the photos! I hope you enjoy!
