Get to Know Me

Image
  It’s been a while, so I thought I might need to do a bit of a reintroduction, and answer some questions we’ve never covered on this blog before. I’ve also been blogging since October 2021 so I have definitely changed a lot. I googled a list of questions to ask on a first date, and so that’s what we’ll be going through together so you can know me better and why this blog is so important to me. 🩷✨💜 Age: I’m a teenager but I would rather not give away specifics online 😊 Height: 5’4 which is short compared to most people at my school  Dream Job: Filmmaker (but any type of artist, really)  Siblings: Only child  Pets: My Pookie as shown above  Favorite Place: London  Dream Travel Destination: South Korea 🇰🇷  Favorite Drink: Spicy Water (sparkling)  Favorite Food: Pears 🍐  Least Favorite Food: Meat 🥩 (I’m a vegetarian) Least Favorite Movie: I hate a lot of movies for someone who wants to be a filmmaker. I just feel like a lot of stuff has b...

Organize your Dream Makeup Studio

Image
 Since I’ve been doing many makeup challenges, and now that I’m back into blogging, I really needed to give my creative room an upgrade. So I decided to start with my bathroom (which will now be known as my makeup studio).  So watch the video to see me turn my bathroom into my dream makeup studio. Now I feel inspired for the rest of our challenges! 

Sparkly Makeup Challenge

Image
  I spun the wheel after removing the last challenge (colorful makeup) and we landed on Sparkly. So let’s do some sparkly makeup!  I did some star eyeliner because stars are kind of gold and sparkly in my imagination so they matched my makeup Gold highlighted lips with some more stars underneath that you can’t really see  Stars on the cheeks  I used lots of products to make my face sparkly. First I mixed some elf halo glow foundation with some prismatic reflecting highlighter primer. The elf foundation was medium coverage so it made my face look brighter especially when mixed with the highlighter. Then I used my two favorite eyeshadow pallets to do the eyes as well as two wet and wild highlighter pallets. I also used something called Unicorn Snot all over my face which made my skin burn but was worth it in the end! unless I get poisoned and die in which case it wasn’t worth it! then  used the Squid Game eyeliner that Netflix released to do my stars.  If you...

Stats Update

 Since I’ve been gone for so long, I wanted to do a quick post about the current stats of this blog as well as my goals for this year. Well, so far we have 17,205 viewers and it is my goal to reach 20k by the end of this year. So send this blog to your friends and family to help support my dreams. I blog for free because I love inspiring people with art and creative ideas so it would mean a lot to me if you could help inspire others by sharing and following along. Most of my followers are US based but I do have a growing international group of followers which is really exciting. Now I have followers in Italy, the UK, Canada, India, Austria, and Malta! Currently I have 410 posts but trust me, that number will be increasing soon. Thanks for hanging around and let’s get to crafting! 

Makeup Challenge

Image
 Hey guys, sorry I haven’t been posting in a while. Things have gotten crazy. But I am back to blogging and being my creative self! So I started a makeup challenge. I love doing my makeup in the morning before school. I went to a website where you can make a  wheel  and add makeup looks to it and spin it around to let it pick a look at random. So I will be doing these looks and posting tutorials on here as well as posting some other content. It sure feels good to be back, and I hope you’ll follow along on my journey with me also.  The wheel selected colorful makeup, which should be fun! Watch the tutorial below to see how to do your own colorful makeup ❤️🩷✨ It’s actually not really a tutorial and more a crazy video of me running around trying to put on makeup at 1 AM. I will be showing some finished photos below. To keep anonymous I’ve just done some close ups of different aspects of the makeup look. I can’t wait to see what the wheel chooses next. This was quite th...

Easiest Slime Recipe

Image
  This is such an easy slime recipe you’ll hardly believe it!  Just mix up 4 cups of shaving cream, four tablespoons of contact solution, and 2 cups of glue. Add food coloring if you want. Then you just mix it until it feels like your arm will fall off. Easy as that.  Have fun slime makers!

Magic Egg Experiment

Image
 Do you need a cool science experiment to do with your homeschooled kids or teens? Here is my personal favorite. Fill a glass with apple cider vinegar and add in a single egg. Make sure the vinegar completely covers the egg. Soon you will see bubbles forming around the egg. Normally bubbles are formed by pockets of air getting into the water. But with this experiment, the bubbles are caused by the vinegar reacting with the outer egg shell and releasing carbon dioxide.  Leave your egg in the vinegar for at least twenty four hours. The vinegar will react and bind with the molecules in the egg shell and dissolve it. Only the outer membrane will remain.  Now you can jiggle and play with your egg. If you break it open you will see that the inner yolk is still raw and preserved within the outer membrane.  Before:  After: Unfortunately the egg broke after I bounced it around too much but as you can see it formed a plastic outer casing that looks and feels like a popped...

Defying Gravity Water Experiment

Image
 This is a super fun, artsy, and colorful science project to do with your kids. This is great and simple for any ages. All you need is three see through containers, two folded sheets of paper towels (I folded them in half twice), and red and blue food coloring. Fill two containers with water and add three drops of the food coloring. Stir well. Place the empty one in the middle.  Then fold your paper towels and place the ends in the colored water. Add the dry ends into the center container. Make sure they’re touching.  Quickly the water will start to crawl up the paper towels.  What is the science behind this? Talk to your students while the water climbs. It will take an hour at most and really depends on your paper towels and containers.  The process of the water climbing the paper towel is called capillary action. This means the molecules of the water and the paper “get along” better than the molecules circulating inside of the water. As a result, they bind tog...

AI failure story

 I tried to use AI to generate a story, to prove my point that AI should not be trying to take over art but chores so we could spend more time doing art. Here is the failure it came up with LOL  Two Violent Uncles Snacks to the Beat A Short Story by Snack doodle Cheesy Cracker looked at the hungry bread in her hands and felt cheesy. She walked over to the window and reflected on her dry surroundings. She had always hated wet Snackdom with its plastic, pongy pretzels. It was a place that encouraged her tendency to feel cheesy. Then she saw something in the distance, or rather some one . It was the figure of Cheesy Cracker The Second. Cheesy was a romantic snacky cheese with snackalicious chunky and blobby revolting. Cheesy gulped. She glanced at her own reflection. She was a crispy, crunchy, melted cheese drinker with snackalicious chunky and grotesque revolting. Her friends saw her as a concerned, charming cheese snack. Once, she had even made a cup of tea for an old-fashioned...

Anytime Pranks

Image
You don’t just have to do pranks on April First! Here are some of the best best anytime pranks. I seran-wrapped the toilet seats, and you can too if you’re feeling risky. I also spiked the yogurt, whipped cream, and seltzer waters with hot sauce. I also put a ton of cups filled with water at the base of the stairs for a fun prank. You can also flip everything in one room upside down, or replace favorite photos with pictures of random celebrities. Last year I did Kevin Hart.

Best Biscotti Recipe

 I love making biscotti. We always eat them up within three days! Here is the base, simple recipe. But you can add anything you’d like, and experiment. My experiments have included toasted coconut, homemade brown sugar streusel topping, dried cherry with candied orange bits,  and chocolate pistachio. Have fun!  Preheat the oven to 300.  Toast up your nuts of choice while the oven is preheating. Mix your nuts with 2 cups of white flour, a cup of brown sugar, 2 tablespoons of cinnamon, a teaspoon of baking powder, a pinch of salt, half a stick of cold cubed butter, 3 eggs, and a tablespoon of veggie oil. Add any other mix ins. Shape your biscotti like a mound. Bake for 25 minutes, then let cool. Slice your loaf into the biscotti, and bake for nine minutes. Flip your biscotti over and bake for nine more minutes before letting it cool for at least 15 min.  The biscotti might look a touch soft when they come out, but will harden almost instantly while being allowed t...

A Socially Awkward Teen

 Hi! So recently, I decided to go shopping. I’m not normal a huge shopper, but it was my great grandma’s 90th birthday and I needed a nice dress for pictures. So I decided to go to Ross Dress For Less. Don’t judge me. Now, as you probably know, in a Ross Dress For Less, anything goes.  Anyway, I was having trouble finding a dress that I would wear to a 90th birthday party and not a Vegas Night Club. But I just couldn’t. So I decided I would probably wear something I already had.  But, being the homeschooled quarantine socially awkward teen that I am, I was so petrified that someone would think I had done something wrong if I didn’t buy a dress. So I got a dress and headed to the fitting rooms. I got my clothes number and headed to a stall. The lock was a bit janky but I managed. I went back out and headed for my cart but was stopped by a worker who said I needed to give him my card. I did not have my card.  He forced me to go back to the changing room TWICE but I cou...
