Whoops!

                
                  This was at my winter ballet performance. I was so embarrassed D: Now I have a huge bruise on my knee :( And it didn't help how that disgusting little mouse was cracking up at me!! Deeply humiliated >:( This years performance was not so great in my opinion because we didn't use classical nutcracker music. Instead we used a jazz mix. I've got to say though, that this was the most enjoyable performance for me out of all the years I've been doing this.

Matted Ombre Nails

             
               Hey guys! Enjoy my latest video on ombre nails. This nail tutorial was pretty messy for me. Usually, people would paint on a base coat and sponge on a different color on the tip of the nail. honestly, that is a better alternative for beginners. I need to study some vocabulary so I'm going to pick a random card from my 500 SAT words and use it in a sentence. Randomly picking one... Crazy Rabbit issued a mandate that whoever wants more videos must join this site.
               Anyways, it seems like the right time to give you guys an update of what has been going on in my life. I got really sick for a day because I ate too much fetuccini alfredo for dinner (or it was bad sauce.) During that night I also ate a lot of desserts with egg whites in them. Can that even make your stomach flip?? Let's just say, my record of not throwing up in 8 years is now broken. Last Friday some of my youth group and I went to a gym and had a lot of fun. We played basketball, volleyball and things of that sort. It was a lot of fun to be with really nice people. When we came home I nailed my front walkover! Gymnastics isn't my thing anymore, but for dance purposes I must maintain the skills :).
               The past week I also took my finals which I didn't do so bad on. I have also been studying about the Holy Spirit which is a very interesting topic. Its's still a bit of a mystery to me on exactly what it is. Ever since Ant said it was a little flame on top of peoples heads it really confused me :-/
               I don't really stop and think about what an awesome brother I have. When I was sick, instead of going shopping with the rest of my family he stayed behind because he knows I don't like staying home alone. I can't imagine having a rotten older brother whos major priorities in life are music, girls, and zits. Shivers. And that was my update on the past week. I hope you enjoy the video!

China/ Taiwan/ Thailand/Cambodia Trip Pictures in Chronological Order

On the LONG plane ride trying desperately to kill time and enjoy things at the moment :( Chubster and I made a game where I drew a really ugly girl and she fixes her up. It's really fun. You should try it!

At Nanjing about to eat some of the best duck meat I have ever tasted in my life. Our bus is in the background along with some mountains. Do you see the visor of Chubster's head? We called it a "peckle". When we went to Taiwan it fell in a lake... too soon.... still... too soon D':

Almost in Cambodia. Stopping for some noodles which were tasty!

Lois the cutest baby in the whole entire world of the universe! She's really chubby and adorable. Look at her chubby knuckles! And she was teething at the time (awwww <3<3)

While we were stuck in Bangkok, our air plane service gave us an awesome hotel to stay in for a night. Awesome.

In a typical Cambodian market. Chubster was feeling claustrophobic :-/ Dang, we look out of place.

On the roof of Mom's uncle's apartment with his dog Pei Pei (naughty in English) doing laundry. Pei Pei was the first one in the elevator and the first one out (such manners!) So young but the laziest dog ever...

At a Taiwan museum about stuff I don't really remember now. Wait... what is that man doing to the left in our pic...?

The Chubster Post: Ballet in the Newspaper

  Hey earthlings! This is Chubster here writing my first post about Crazy rabbit and I in the local newspaper. No, we are not in the worldly news, but this is kind of cool. I had to blur out the location for safety reasons ^-^ I'm just so proud (not to sound conceited) that we are in newspaper. This may seem like nothing to you, but  BTW Crazy rabbit and I had been dancing for this company for 8+ years, and this is our first newspaper picture.. Even though the newspaper pic is grainy, Crazy rabbit and I in the back in the first picture. In the second picture we are on both sides :D

Okay. You see?  ummm i dont really know what else crazy rabbit usually talks about sooooo... BYE

Love, Chubster

Here is Your Person Weekly

             I love taking photos! Even if I don't have a "professional like" one (hint hint dad ;D... :( never happening) I also like photo editing. Ever since you had to pay $4 monthly for PicMonkey (favorite photo editing site) my life turned shades darker. Why?! Just WHY?! People are way to greedy these days. Sharing is caring... Anyways, this picture was photo edited a while back. Enjoy your Person magazine cover!

Happy BOA Day!

         In science research class, we've been building this truss with manilla folders and finally finished it! First, bridge in the class to be completed! Each "member"or parts of the bridge are a tube we had to measure, cut, and glue together. If you don't know, BOA stands for Bridge of Awesomeness (I just figured that out today!!) thanks to Melissa :D on the far right. Maria is in the middle. If you tilt your computer screen upwards or slouch a little in your seat you might be able to see her. She's really white. Melissa was our tester or support for the bridge. I was the refiner for messy parts. And Maria was the EVERYTHING ELSE. Still, together we made it happen and got a 9.5 (maybe 9.7 if the rest of the bridges in the class are terrible) as our build grade. Good work gals!

Traveling

           Over the summer a lot of you know that my family and I went to Asia. There, we stopped at China, Taiwan, Thailand, and Cambodia. I guess I would just like to share a bit more about my trip because it was a wild one! During my trip I learned that beyond America, there are people who live a completely different life than we do. It still amazes me how many people are on this earth and how similar we are in a lot of ways. So let's take a blast from the past (see what I just did ;) and allow me to take you through my twisted adventure.

             China was ... different and that is all I'm going to say. Just kidding. My parents signed up for one of China's many tourist walkthroughs where for one week, you spend each day visiting tourist attractions. It was really cheap plus they said that every night we would stay at five star hotels. Hmm... fishy. However, my family has never been to China, and we can't stay "Chinese people who have never been to China" all our lives! Our plane ride was China Eastern for around sixteen hours or so. The plane ride was same as the tourist experience... horrible yet affordable. The plane was packed with jumpy passengers and a lot of kids! At first it was okay but after a while it got really stuffy. Especially with our three hour delay in the plane. Shanghai was currently experiencing a storm so we flew down to a near by airport station. I was taking a nap and was so excited when I work up because I thought we landed in Shanghai. Big mistake. For three hours we were cooped up in the plane with "reduced" air conditioner (gas purposes I'm guessing??) Surrounding me were kids running up and down the aisles while smelly the heavy air of puke (my worst fear.) Since the plane was pretty much lawless, my dad, sister, and I went to the back of the plane where the flight attendants were chilling. Still, it was the space of a closet. Not to mention my mom was getting really sick and too up our whole row lying down. We tried our best to remain calm and know that God is with us. It was really bad so I took a nap and constantly woke up waiting for us to take off again.
              Eventually, we landed in Shanghai and ran straight out of the plane into a bus with several people standing in it. I was thinking "this is sooo ghetto." Finally we arrived at the air port station only to wait a couple more hours for our luggage. My family and I raced to find our tour guide at 1:00am in the morning. It turns out he was just about to leave to find no one else was coming. Thank God!! Another 45min. passed and we finally reached our hotel. It was very nice and the food was really good. But note that that was only the first night. Some nights we stayed in a cheesy hotel that smelled like smoke in the lobbies. Every night I remember constantly looking for wifi anywhere possible.
              Going to a foreign country especially like China takes a toll on your body. Every single day I felt nauseous and my stomach felt numb. I was breaking out into pimples all over my for head and only felt relaxed after a nice shower. Jet lag was not even the worst of our problems. We met some really nice people at the tour and brought some to our church after we came back. If I were to sum up that whole trip I would give it one word: wild.

             Taiwan was our breather. In the comfort of my mom's uncle and aunt's home we got to sleep all day and relax. Which is something we never did in what seems like to be forever. There we spent two weeks shopping our socks off and playing with my uncle's lazy dog. I love Taiwan and would never forget how clean their subways are. Or how nice the people act even though you are a stranger. Or the funny looks I got when I tried speaking Chinese or spoke regular English. Everything there was comforting and really cute. I want to go back someday and take it all in again without China draining my energy out before hand.
              To think of it now is different than actually being there. Now, I feel like Taiwan was perfect. Of course  would think that after my mom has been brain washing me about it almost all my life. But it really was heaven after China. Shortly after, it was time to head off to Thailand.

             Thailand has one of the most largest airport station ever. It had really cool escalators that ... wait for it... were flat and inclined. It's a lot cooler when you are actually on it. There we met the missionary and his son on a three hour car ride to Cambodia. Of course we had to stop at 7 eleven for some Thai ice tea which my brother later on barfed the whole way back to the airport. When we finally got to Cambodia we passed through the large buildings of casinos and then passed through the rest of the where the people lived. Imagine one long dirt road branching off to longer mud roads. That was basically it. The trip wasn't as strenuous as an actual missions trip. Like I said, we traveled before Cambodia.
               Meeting new people and seeing first hand on how they lived couldn't have been more of a reality check for me. These people actually live here every day working while I claim I am suffering from school. What? It really shocked me on how poorly our world's money is dispersed. Think about all the doggy day spa's and animal rescue sights there are when on the other side of the planet there are people living on dirt. It's just not right. Not to mention, these people can still manage to smile :) Although, ever day you don't feel clean at all its easy to let loose and get a little roughed up. They only time you are clean is when you are sleeping. By the end of the trip we were just about ready to go back to Taiwan but they were currently experiencing stormy weather. We had to stay one more day in Bangkok until we could spend two more days in Taiwan. We stopped by 7 eleven again and guess who decided to drink a huge cup of Thai iced tea?? On the drive back to the airport station Andrew threw up all the way. Chubster and I were like... eeeeeeeeew!

                So now you got an official taste of what our adventurous summer was. If you read to whole thing, good for you! If you tried reading the whole thing in one day and didn't, it's alright! I took several days just writing this thing. If you didn't read it at all, I have nothing to say to you because you aren't reading this. Have a nice week and become a member. Becoming a member just means you are a supporter.

Christmas Review

P.s I don't know these people

                Many years after years I've noticed that Christmas has been getting less and less exciting. This my friends was one of the saddest things we just have to face. Do you know what I'm saying? For example, the smell of oak trees, the flurries of snow, and the pretty lights outside would just switch your mood into something cheerful. Almost as if Christmas was a fantasy. When you get my age you come to a realization that ... that... dare I say it it's NOT. On Dec. 31, 2012 we had some kids over as a little casual get together to eat japanese sushi (yum!). On Dec. 31 2005 we had some kids over waiting anxiously for 12:00am. struggling to keep our eyes open. See the difference? Casual versus fun, exciting, and history making! When someone (akhem) told me that presents get worse and worse every year my heart snapped like a ginger bread cookie. But face it, we all know it is true.
                  What if there was a purpose for this! As you get older Christmas gets duller because... we must know that true meaning of Christmas! Trust me we all heard of it before so I am not repeating it again. One thing I learned was the birth of Jesus was selfless in every way. Why should a king begin a life born in a stable with animals? My thoughts are as tangled as chlorine on thin long hair. Why am I using so many simile's? Anyways, I will leave my thoughts hanging like a unfinished song...

How to Curl Hair

                    Here is a helpful video for you girls (and some guys) out there. In this video you will learn how to curl your hair. There are a lot of different types of curls such as crimps, waves, and afros! Hopefully you can find out which one suits you the most and put it to action. Excuse Chubster's attempt to look sporty with her soccer jersey. Truth is, it was only $5 at Thailand and a really good knock off. Anyways, I hope you enjoy this long video (the longest video I ever published). Have a laugh, get some knowledge, and have a nice day!

              This video was made a while back before I knew iMovie secrets. Now that I know them, I can guarantee you will laugh out loud. Peace.

Nail Polish Review

Thanks for supporting me and finally reaching 3000 pageviews!

Essie nail polish is one of my favorites! A lot of times nail polishes become gooey and streaky as they get older. This nail polish's thickness is thin but perfectly opaque even after a long period of time. Essie also has a wide variety of beautiful colors and dries pretty quickly. Furthermore, Essie has a lot of nourishing nail polishes and matte top coats. However, Essie comes with a cost. Unlike most nail polishes, new colors from Essie can be around $7- $8. If you are up to paying that price for a bottle might as well. But if you can't, there are more options out there.

Sally Hansen can be your next choice. This runner up is known for its different types of nail polishes. For example, Sally Hansen sells Insta Dry, Salon Effect, HD, Nail Art Pens and a lot more. This nail polish comes with nice colors with mediocre quality. Sally Hansen generally goes on sale at drug stores for around $5- $8 a bottle. This affordable choice is good for first timers but if you want more of a luxury look at a different section.

OPI would be for ones who like their nails more professional. I was immediately impressed with the wide selection of colors and quick dry time.  The quality of this product is around the same if not a little less than Essie but comes with more in its bottle. Charging at $6- $9 this nail polish is an eye popping color pick. OPI is known for it's theme locations and flamboyant advertisements. It also has Matte Nail Polish, Crackle, and famous celebrity sponsors. This nail product is flashy, bold, and red carpet ready.

                    This was the funnest day ever! Spending time at Maria's house with her unexpected random stair case steps and forever locked bathrooms! Besides that, God gave me the coolest friends ever ;)

What We ate Today

                One day when my parents were gone, we wanted to show them that we can provide a meal on our own. Originally I wanted to show this to my parents, which I did, but I'll show it to you guys too. I made this video sometime around when my family and I came back from Asia. On imovie, I learned some really neat tricks you'll be seeing in this video that is a little different than before. I hope you enjoy watching this and I hope it inspires you to go to your kitchen and fetch something to eat.

How to Braid

            This is for all of you who don't know how to braid. I realized that my previous videos were too advanced for some. So I'm going to start from scratch and teach you all how to braid.

Dear Kitty,

 Dear Nermal,

From the left: Rusty, Cobs, Nermal, and poor Contrast

         You were the second Cambodian kitty I loved (next to Cobs.) I miss you so much. Although we only met for an hour or two, it feels like we've known each other for forever. I really miss pulling you away from your kitty friends so you and I could hang out. I loved when Jonathan, Chubster, and I took you and your siblings for a walk to look at some ducks. I love your green eyes and tender heart <3 You are probably a big kitty now... learning how to survive or having feelings for other cats.Wherever you are stay close to the ones you love especially that adorable little girl that takes care of you. Don't venture out too far. It is dangerous at night. Always walk with a buddy like Mom, Cobs, Rusty, or Contrast. I really miss you but it is highly unlikely I will see you again. We live in a big world Nermal, and things aren't always la-la loopsy here. But as long as you are safe with your family I am happy. Write back soon or at least purr your loudest. You were always a squealer. Sorry if I held you too tight in Cambodia. Or put you momentarily on a tree filled with red ants. I know you would've forgiven me. Stay close to Mama and the little girl too.                                                                                                                                                                                                  

Nermal

Freaky Friday

                Did you ever have that feeling of panic before? I'm sure you have but this type of panic is different. This type of panic is when you are scared for your life. Well, not really your life but your mind makes you feel that way. Still don't get it? For example, when there is a big hurricane everybody is talking about and you have to evacuate your location. Or when you are going to a foreign country and something goes wrong. It's times like these where you just say a quick prayer that goes something like "God please keep me safe! There is so much I want to do in life! I thought you had more plans for me!"
              This Friday I heard many people talking about a fight coming from another school to our school. I freaked out. There were a lot of school safety patrol people everywhere and people were talking like "Bye! I'll see you Monday... hopefully...."

              Before I proceed I must tell you that my mind prepares me for the definite worst. Even though it wasn't that bad, I was scared as heck that day.

              Seriously everything just got me so scared I didn't even want to leave my classroom to go and "release the elements" even though I had to so badly. In biology, I couldn't even focus on the most easiest lesson in the world (food chains!) While I was going to biology however, my friend told me that she knew someone who said some of the kids were actually in the school already! Every time the door opened in my classroom I would check to see who it is. I was that scared okay?! I heard people talking about coming out of the school building and seeing people waiting to beat you up.  I already planned the way I would run to my dad's car. I was even disappointed in how I wasn't wearing my running shoes.
                 Fast forward and I'm at home typing this post while just finishing a chicken noodle soup. I got to say, I really scared myself! But seriously some seniors were scared. I just hope something like this doesn't happen again or else I will make myself faint. Hopefully, next time this happens I would stay calm (yeah right.) At the end, I heard nothing really ever happened. Those are the type of moments that I overreact to. I pray that I don't under react to an actual serious situation (yikes!) I am just happy that everyone is safe and that it is Friday :)

Floral Nails

                 My voice is very nasal and I may change pitches once in a while. IT'S NATURAL WHEN YOU'RE  SICK :D I actually filmed this a while back but edited it during the Thanksgiving break. Also, you may have noticed, I didn't do my right hand. I have an excuse. It was close to dinner time and my dad hates the smell :) If you didn't get the musical ensamble thing, I like making music (with the pre played ones) on garage band and adding them in my videos. I would describe it has classical contemporary but I'll leave it up to you upon how you would describe it. Anyways, I ended test prep like I said before. I'm also starting to get situated in my school. The science teacher I used to have was a pain in my beep so my parents and I had to go through a lot with her. Detail, details, details. Eventually, I switched classes in which the students aren't all the brightest (compared to my other class for smarties.) "But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you" Matthew 5:44. So even though she is a pain, I pray she will seek God one day :)

              The new teacher actually cares for the students and wants to help them do better.  I'm happy God provided me with parents that will stick up for me even though I may have done wrong. I can't handle drama from people like her on my own. My motto currently is "everything is part of His plan." Every class I am in, every person I meet, and even every conflict I come across. Talk about rambling! Sorry about that. I hope you enjoyed the video though! Love ya!

Faux Splatter Nails

Here is your Thanksgiving Gift! Enjoy!

Hang in There!

            Hey guys! Sorry I haven't been posting since November 9 (I've been told) but I promise you I'll make it up to you guys. I just finished a long test prep session and battle with my biology teacher (I'll tell you about that later). That pretty much sucked the whole fun out of my October. But after the flood, out came a rainbow. Right? You should be expecting some awesome new videos and touching posts during Thanksgiving break. Thanks for the support my peeps!

My Brother

Ant reading this very post

              My brother is going to hurt me for saying that he's so tall. Let's face the facts Ant, YOU ARE! My brother is very different from other brothers. Unlike most of them, he is not very bothersome. And if he is, he probably just wants to hang out with me and I'm busy doing something. Ant is humble, kind, generous, and imaginative. Most sisters yearn for a single hug from their older brother. Either they're too busy, you're not cool enough, or it's just plain awkward for them. But Ant is different. I call him Ant obviously not because of his size, but  I can't call him And! That would be so silly!
              In the late 1900 (the old times), when it was just us two without Chubster things were much better. PSYCH! just kidding. We used to live in a smaller house and would play in the driveway. We had a neighbor that would watch us play while my parents were busy with something. Ant would play with his cars and I would want to play with them too. So I usually just took them away from him and he would let me. So sweet! If he didn't let me I would cry a lot. Then my neighbor would snitch on me to my parents saying I was a trouble maker and Ant was an angel. Psht! Yeah right. Ant was always a really sweet boy from the start. When we moved into our new house, Dad was asking us who wanted to get the room next to the bathroom and who wanted the room at the end of the hallway. For some strange reason we both wanted the one near the bathroom although the other room was bigger. So my dad flipped a coin and I lost. I was very sad. Another time it was who can have the ant farm in their room. Don't ask me why I would have wanted ants in the room. Once again I lost but Ant let me have them. I think later on I got kind of grossed out with them and moved them downstairs. Don't even get me started with how much imagination he has. When we were little I would see Ant on the staircase playing with little figures of all kinds. For a while he would go back and forth with those little figures and make action noises. You do not know how hard it is to express action noises in writing but I'll try. Pshhhhhhhhhhhh. Booooooom. Slap. Now do you see how hard it is for me?

            Sometimes Ant and I would get into fights but nothing severe. They were always more of a bicker. Ant would be studying something and I would slowly walk in his room and scare him. But now I don't have time for those immature ANTics (see what I did there). Ant tends to have bad table manners that would always tick me off!

Here's a picture (to the right) of Ant trying to help me with math problems. By the look of his face you can conclude yourself that he later threw  the ipod away from me D:

 I honestly can't recall a time where Ant and I just went at it. Especially now that school started we hardly have time to. I am just so happy God gave me a brother I could look up to (physically and mentally) I know he cares for me and is concerned for whatever choices I make. If I didn't have someone in my family that could tolerate me I would have drove them bananas! HE IS AWESOME! I LOVE YOU BRO!

How Halloween Has "Treated" Me

                   Here is a picture of my pre-k class. The school is the church that my church and I go to after ice skating (familiar much?) I am all the way to the right and the only one being "me" for Halloween. At least that's what I told people. All the girls were princesses and the boys were either a cop, tiger, and power ranger... I think? This is a great picture to sum up how my first school Halloween went. I looked so sad and misplaced.

                  Now this is how Halloween should be! This was one year after that miserable Halloween (kindergarten). I was a princess as you all can tell with my little crown. And woah! Who's that?! It's my brother in a inflated dragon contraption. I think in my school we had to walk around the neighborhood to support a cancer charity. We did it in our costumes :) I honestly don't remember too much of that day. What I do remember is a year or two after that Halloween, I was a hula girl. I just wore a grass skirt with flowers around my wrist and neck.. I didn't JUST where them  though... awkward... I specifically remember that day when I went to the bathroom and this "hot shot" fifth grader was like "what are you?" Back then, I thought fifth graders were awesome. Thinking back now, they're so ... not. They have iPhones, where make-up, and own The North Face book bags. Well, that's it for my flashbacks!

Track Diet

                 Here is a picture of a typical breakfast I usually eat the day of practice. You got some carbs from the whole wheat rice bread, protein in the eggs, and dairy in the milk. To stop the stitches in the stomach when I run, I like to eat bananas. They are full of good vitamins like potassium. Actually I think coconut juice has more :P ButI don't like coconuts :( Then I have my generous portion of sweets in my nutella. I then usually drink a carton of muscle milk (contains no milk D:) This meal would bring good performance and energy to a race!

What the?

           Hey guys! I never posted a blog post with only writing in it so here it is. School has been going out pretty well for me.  I experienced new things. Like witnessing my first fight at lunch, getting back my first test (ps: proud 96 :D), and meeting Christians like me. I knew my school had a club called "Seekers" (which I should be joining soon now that I have my card), but I never knew Christians could be the people I am talking to everyday! My closest new friend I have around 5 classes with is someone I would have never expected. Jaime is Indian so usually they would believe things closer to their culture. I would have never guessed until I brought up the topic about the club. That was a shocker because I've never met someone like her before. So I guess now we have more to talk about :D She is planning to go to the club with me (yay.) There also is this other friend named Zachary. I met him at lunch and was thinking on the back of my head how come this boy doesn't curse?! You see, in a public school like mine, where there are different type of people all around you, I would expect some swears here and there. But no. So I knew something was a little different about him.  I really knew this when he came to school with a deerfoot lodge shirt (Christian boy camp). Since my brother went there, I was very much familiar in what it was. I only saw "eerfoo" and "odge" becuase he was wearing a hoodie :P Jaime told me that on his facebook his profile picture would be a cross and he would but Bible quotes as his status :D But it was so different to see people like me in my school. The realization would probably hit me more when I am actually in the club :) In high school, you really have to choose your friend wisely. I'm not saying you must be narrow minded and look for standards for these people. But simple know that you should hang out with people you think are nice and kind. You can still be friendly to everyone, but the ones who you tend to see more often in school are the ones you should become close with. Just hang out with the right crowd because your friends can influence  you greatly ;)
             Hey guys this is a couple weeks later... school is not going so well. I am now an average student with average grades :( (ps: pitiful 76 on bio) I'm not joining the club because of biology. I don't have the time for everything. Also, my parents made me quit track for a little while but later on agreed to it again after the championships. So track is still awesome and I just had my first race... waiting for the results :D But yeah, a lot of things have changed ever since I wrote that old post :( I might not be able to do "DIY weekly" or post much. I have to focus on boring stuff and get it out of the way until I know where I'm going for the future. So, hopefully things won't be so full of :( faces later on. Later!

Inspiration for the Day

                          I made this myself by using a unwanted old necklace and friendship bracelet string to create this lovely bracelet. Note: I used special pliers to get the chains where I wanted them to be :)

Twisted Side Hair Tutorial

DIY Weekly: Customized Coasters

               
               This creation of mine was from a little while back around last summer. It is simply turning a boring glass coaster to a creative customized one! Unfortunately last summer I didn't think of starting a blog so there aren't any step by step photos :( But there is no need for that! What I did was trace the outline of the coaster on the front of the picture with a ballpoint pen. This way, you could see how the picture or design is going to fit. Then cut it out.

          On the bottom of the coaster, there should be these little rubber semi circles to give the coaster a nice grip on the surface. Roughly pluck them off (not too rough, or else they'll be flying across the room :O) Save them on the side, you're going to need them. Next, use a purple Elmer's glue stick and glue the picture. The glue will look purple at first but turn invisible as it dries. Now, put a generous glob of glue and put it on each of the little semi circles. Then place the semi circles in a triangle shape (as seen to the left). Let it dry facing up for at least 2 hours or until it is fully dried.
           Finally you are done! This quick and easy DIY is great for gifts to give to friends, home decor, and more. You can either use an actual picture that is printed out, or a design. The one I have to the right is actually a card my art teacher gave me. It had a pretty cover so I used it for this coaster. This idea was created originally by me :) It's fun, easy, and convenient! Although I'm not too sure if people even still use coasters these days :-/

Floral Nails and Angular Nails

                The floral nail design is so simple, I decided not to make a tutorial on it. This is a close up picture but from far way, it probably looks more like flowers. I simply took a nice dark blue and applied blotches of light peach onto my nails. Then, using a 1 toothpick I roughly outlined the blotches with a darker shade of pink. What helps me is if I draw a single dot in the middle of the blotch and work around from there. Don't get too carried away with the outlining or else it won't look nice.

                This my friends is the best tape design I have ever done! I applied a metallic brown as a bottom coat and then waited for it to dry. Metallic nail polish usually dries really fast. After it dried, I cut skinny pieces of Scotch tape and put 3 on each nail in assorted angles. Chubster told me not to criss cross them, but personally I think it looks better that way ;D The only thing is, that you have to memorize which tape was put on last so you don't pull a piece of tape that is under another piece of tape. Usually the one strip of tape that is crossing over the 2 others is the one you pull off first. I then applied the Essie pink nail polish (which is a nice and bold color) on top of all the tapes. Then take the tape off slowly while pulling the strip away from the nail and lifting the strip up. When you do this motion, it makes the finished results of the lines look more refined. I would suggest you do one nail at a time. That means to apply the tape on each nail, paint one finger and then take the tape off. Repeat the process on each nail one finger at a time. Before something messes the artwork up, apply a clear coat and let it dry fully!

DIY Weekly: Back to School Tip

stock photo (heehee)

          Here's a back to school tip! I have to carry around my spanish textbook :( Hey! Why not carry it in style!? This tip you've probably saw before. Based on my poll results, I am trying to commit to this new post type called "DIY Weekly." These are post in which I will be showing you how to do creative things "yourself." If I skip a week, forgive me or give me a comment to boost me up. Sometimes I am busy and might not be able to commit every week but, I'll certainly try! School first, then blog! Anyways, I used a paper grocery bag and turned it into a eco-friendly book cover. The process is pretty simple. All you have to do is cut the paper bag so that the whole thing is flat. I would cut the folded part on the side and work my way through from there. I also used clear scotch tape (the fat one) to tape everything up. As you can see, I taped the inside cover on the actual textbook... It will most likely tare the book a little by the end of the year, but that's what my school gets for making me have a cover in the first place! Anyways :) I then printed a little "sumpthin-sumpthin" and I was done. I hate having to carry a "piece of school" knowing that a lot of other people carried it and took it home as well. So, now it's officially "clean" in my eyes. And for some strange reason, it doesn't have pictures drawn of inappropriate "things" in the cover. I think that was more of a middle school thing :-/ Wow that was a lot of ""-ing. This clever trick was known a long time ago and is still used today. It's eco-friendly, affordable, and simply stylish! Have fun!
