S'mores Cookie Tutorial

    Happy birthday Rocketmags! You are the most awesome friend ever :) This video is for you <3

Camera Tricks

              This idea just popped in my head one night and I put it to action. If you follow your dreams, they will come true... for real! I had a really fun time making this video although the headstand made my stomach queasy afterwards. The poll is favoring "funny videos" so here your go! It's kind of interesting because today I was taking an assessment at my school and I forgot to bring this very important packet with me to the car. We were halfway to the school when I just remembered about the packet. I was really upset and thought to myself "why can't I just pop up in my house, snatch the folder, and return back into the car?" Unfortunately, this only happens in the video world :(

Hey there!

                Let me tell you what's up. I have finals coming up, regents, really hot school days and some more finals. I feel like summer is here but ... not just quite yet. Everywhere I go, it is hot! I had to dance ballet in the studio for 3 hours in warm still air. So far, I am living off of 2 pairs of shorts and 1 pair of short leggings. I really need to go shopping :( Of course, there is school. At the end of the year, a lot of kids feel like they are on cruise mode. For me, it feels like the middle of the school year. When the regents are over, I could finally say "it's time to relax". In that case, I could make more videos!
               Story time: One day, my mom was trying to tell Chubster to go to a summer camp so she can have something to do when school is over. This is what she said "No! It's the summer time!" Then do you know what she said after that? She said....

              Where the heck does she get these hilarious sayings from? My mom was just like "heh?" Sorry if you didn't think that was funny but that made Chubs and I laugh for a very long time. I hope your... "summah" is going as you planned it to. Nothing is better than just relaxing somewhere knowing that all you needed to do is done already. Have an awesome rest of the weekend!

Perfect Ponytail

       Finally, another video! If you are gifted with silky hair or hair that "just works out for you" you can watch this for enjoyment. Also, if you don't have more than 1 foot of hair in length :P For me, super straight/stubbornly wavy hair makes my ponytails look like trash! If you didn't wash your hair for a day or you are tying your hair in the middle of the day, you won't really have this problem. Usually, it happens once you wake up. This technique isn't the healthiest for already damaged hair so don't do it every day. I like wavy pony tails, neat ponytails, and super strait ones but nothing in between!! I hope you enjoyed this video ;)

Nice and Wavy. My hairstyle would just be
considered "neat"

Super Straight

Eye Drawings

A little creepy huh?

5000 Pageviews: Thanks Guys!

Fine, I admit. I made 4999 into 5000 by using an ipod to go on my own. But really? Who cares!?

Happy Mother's Day

                  This is my gift to the most special lady in my life! It's a yarn wrapped clothes hanger that I mangled up to make the words "mom". I also cleaned her room (background.) My mom is the person I go to for everything. She is always kind to everyone she talks to. Mom is a very good listener. She's listens with a caring and compassionate heart for others. Selfless. That's a accurate word that describes my mom. Mom thinks of others before herself. She's also very funny at times. I love my mom's sense of humor, warm smile, enthusiasm, and laugh. I also love her excitement when Jeremy Lin is actually playing in a game. There is nothing "not" to like about her. 

MOM YOU ROCK. I love you!

My Morning Routine

                 Oh My Gosh! It is a morning routine video! You don't know how much fun I had editing this! Note that I had a lot of fun editing it, making it however, was a different story. First of all, I was so tired and looked like a rabbit with fish eyes. Secondly, my dad and I got into a mini argument about me spilling my milk tea "all over" his iPhone. I told him it shouldn't be in the eating area and of course my dad had to point out how my camera was on the table too. See what I get into just for you guys? Eventually we made up. You can assume that from the ending :P I hope you enjoy this video as much as I did filming it ;D

My Morning Routine Video Coming Soon!

         
             Hey guys! I'm glad I caught your attention with this disturbing picture of me in the morning (credits to my creepy sister.) And yes, I still sleep with a blankie, a stuffed hippo, and an overstuffed elephant. Well, anyways, I am planning to make a morning routine video for you all so stay tuned! The video will definitely come out sometime this week. I am so excited for this video because I could finally become one of those girls who post videos about their day, their nights, and their mornings. Now that school is lightening up, I have more time to spend on forever crazy rabbit!! Toodalssss :)

p.s This picture is not from the video... Chubster just took a picture of me sleeping... she stalks my entire life.

What's Happening? (in Photos)

 

           
              I finally got all of my middle school ID cards all together in the same spot. From the right to left is from 6th grade to 8th. When I was in 6th grade I was a quiet little stubby girl who thought I was so awesome. Little did I know, I was just a little 6th grader. In 7th grade, I found my way out of total lameness but struggled with making new friends. In 8th grade I thinned out (thankfully) and found a super cool friend but was still pretty quiet. If you look at pictures from when I as really young, you wouldn't recognize me. I am the type of person that looks different each year. Lets hope it's not for the worse!

           Cool hairstyle alert! I tried doing a braided headband style for school. It was pretty in the morning but as the day went on, my baby hairs wanted to go back to their orignal position. Something I do a lot is make something really cool and end up taking it off. It's like getting yourself all dressed up for school but once you get home, you change into a t-shirt and sweats. For this hairstyle, I ended up taking it all out during science building class and tied my hair in a bun. The work we teenage girls do just to look nice.

               

            Who's who? My very special twin and I decided to match today. People always get us mixed up but they would get more confused if I were taller. Other than that we are practically identical! I love how my legs just stop and Maggie's go on. What was the point of taking the picture sitting down then!? Humf... Twin day was really fun and is definitely happening again (on our own terms!!)

            

             Look what I created! A mix of vibrant orange-red with tribal light-blue. Ignore by battered cuticles. A lot of people told me that they looked like poke balls. They don't! This nail design is super easy and is actually the only "complex" nail design I actually kept on my nails! Hard to believe huh? For the red- orange I used 1 coat of Banana Republic Nail Polish. I used 2 coats of Essie Teal for the light-blue side. If you want an easy yet trendy nail design, this should give you something to work on.

Cleaning My Room

           Finally, I made a post you viewers would love! My famous videos! My room needed a bit of a clean. Well, it's Chubster's room too but try to get that girl to clean. That would be a miracle. Yes, I am playing the guitar there but I don't think it sounds too great. There are too many Bm changes and it was driving me insane. A for "affort" right? Also, my camera cut me off! I was supposed to be folding the laundry until it was fully done. When I edited the video it froze at me picking up some white pants. :(.
           Vote on my poll! It will actually make my life easier. The sooner I check and see a popular vote the sooner I could start making a video. VOTE.

P.s If you are wondering what that bumble bee is I don't blame you. You put a SAT word card in the mouth and the bee flips the card inside so you see the definition.

Friends

         
             I'm going to switch schools this coming school year which is sad news. When I first started in my new school I asked God "Why would you let me be here? Now I have to make all new friends :(" By the way, if you didn't know, my school isn't the best. Still, I kept God's word of being there for a reason and having a greater plan for me. Now that I think of it, God really lead me to some unbelievable friends! Even though some teachers couldn't care less about work and students come to school to kill time I met these incredibly kind people that made the hours pass by.
          When I first moved to my new school it was hard to start all over again. My past friendships had me feel that making all new friends wasn't worth it. That't until friendship had a whole other meaning. Being friends with the people I have now is amazing. Every joke, every comforting word, every conversation we have is so genuine. I love hanging out with them during physical science class in our own little group making electricity or sanding wood.

To Maria: You're the smartest and sweetest of our bunch.
To Melissa: You bring the fun and silliness to our group... and rice krispies!
To Jaime: Sigh.. you are what you are and that is all I got to say
To Natalie: The person we talk to for advice. And the person who always smells the best :P
To Maggie: The LIFE of the party. I won't ever meet sweeter, kinder, and funnier people than you guys. So, don't think I'm going to find some "more" amazing friends like you guys ever. Not even in a new school.

Awkward Shopping Moments, Dirty Hello Kitties, and Ohhhhhs

           Hey guys! So the past few days for me have been surprisingly happy (I think it's the weather.) During the weekend I went to my friends birthday party at an iceskating rank. Happy birthday Maria! Apparently Maria has a video of me scarfing down my cupcake... delete it! I had to get her present the morning of her birthday! There is nothing better than being alone in bath and body works with an anxious employee trying to guess exactly what I was there for.That was really fun.

         
          The day after that, I went to New York City!! My family and I went to Time Square and saw a lot of weird acts from people. You know, the people dressed in cartoon character costumes and expect tourists to want to take pictures with them for cash. For example, there was a person dressed in what I think was hello kitty. I couldn't tell because the head party was dirty grey. Yuck! Some pople decide to wear nothing at all and get money for it too!I'll never forget how crazy some people are in New York City. Overall, I had a really fun experience in Time Square.
           What a coincidence! Michelle Phan is one of my favorite bloggers ever! She is really good at make-up/nails/DIY beauty mixture video tutorials. If you watch enough of her videos you would probably see how I "borrowed" some video editing tips and DIY ideas :) Michelle just posted a post on jean jackets! Just. Like. ME! The post is a little different than mine :-/ but the topic is the same: jean jackets are in girls! Here is the link :

           My poll finally closed and it seems like the majority of you had a good start of the year. Some people voted "meh". Don't worry, you still have the rest of the year to make your year the coolest ever. In fact, I came across this picture and it totally made my day. It's hilarious when you read the three lines and then envision the cat from "Puss in Boots" going "ooooooh". I was laughing for at least 2 minutes straight when I read this. People with a "meh" year so far, make your year filled with joy and laughter one day at a time and I assure you, you will feel a lot better.

Easter is about Jesus

Solution! Why don't I make a easter video without having to record anything! Of course I think of this a day after Easter :(

Tribal Nails

  




















          I never thought I would be that crazy to actually do this... I see it on the internet all the time and would think "ain't nobody got time for that!" Apparently, I do. The tribal nail design probably took me over 30 minutes to complete! Let me tell you how its done.

1. Take a sheer white nail polish and coat all your nails once.

2. As you can see (before I started used the skinny black nail polish) there are stripes of orange and teal. You don't have to use these colors. Just don't use dainty colors such as pink. Tribal nails are tough!

    This is when we start using the teal, orange and white to make the stripes. Yes, white again. Take the white nail polish and draw a  line horizontally over the white "base coat". You should alternate coats between white... and white. Hmm. This is confusing. I started with one white base coat. To eliminate too many coats on the nails, I painted on the orange, teal and white in horizontal stripes separately. Get it?

3. Next, using your skinny black nail polish, draw a thin line where each of the stripes meet. The picture to the right is the part you should be up to by now. You can keep your nails like this if you get tired (they look pretty nice!), but if you aren't tired move on to the tricky part.

4. Then, let your creative juices flow! Tribal designs are usually zig-zags and dots. You can search up tribal nail designs on Google and find your inspiration. If you're too lazy you are "allowed" to copy mine.

Have fun :D

For Those Who Don't Have Jean Jackets

Went to Kray Kray's house and played 

with a cutie hamster name Ginny, or 

Jinny, or maybe... Jimmy!

           I haven't really written a post about what is going on in my life right now. Well, it is now spring break and I have been extremely busy going from one retreat to the next. The first retreat I went to was in New Jersey with my church. I thought I wasn't going to have a lot of fun (sorry) but at the end I enjoyed it a lot. We played fun games (which I couldn't provide): The second retreat was with another church that had a very large youth group. I had a good time there in Pennsylvania. We learned about how God is greater from the book of Jonah (veeery interesting). In fact, this was the first time I actually took retreats seriously or God seriously. That's kind of sad knowing my background but it makes sense at the same time. I took a lot of notes because knowing myself, I'm very forgetful.
           I guess what really stuck out to me during the sermon would probably be how God is so gracious. The pastor told us that salvation comes from the Lord even when we don't deserve it. I never really thought about salvation before this. When Jonah was about to run out of air under the deep sea he prayed to God. Therefore, the giant fish saved him. The important thing is that if you cling onto worthless things, you forfeit the grace and goodness of God. Look what happens when you actually pay attention to sermons... you actually learn! After the break I was thinking about joining track again just for the fun of it. Then I thought some more. If I'm moving to a different school why even start something I'm not going to finish? Plus, my "friends" there aren't so friendly once you left the team. I ain't going to live through that! (Sorry for the grammar). What about for the love of running? (you might ask.) Yes, I still love to run and trust me, I will get to run a lot next school year. Running to me is no longer on a tight schedule. It's something that won't eat up my life so I can have time for other things.
             Aside from that serious stuff, before I started writing this post I was really mad. For Easter my plan was to make a video displaying our sin and how Jesus died for it. I had this awesome idea going through me and I even wrote down a script. Of course this can't be done without two people so I asked Chubster to be in the video with me. It turns out she didn't feel like it so I got really mad, crumpled my script, and threw it out. Then I closed myself in my closet and started to get sad. Teens and their mixed emotions. I'm actually part of that category now D: As for Chubster... I will still never fully get that girl...

p.s. Did you know music these days have different meanings then you think?! I was listening to "Rock Me" by One Direction and thought it was really catchy. Not knowing what the song meant, I looked it up and lets just say, I'm never listening to One Direction for my entertainment again! Very suggestive song. Tisk Tisk

Spring is Here/ Jean Jacket Video

              Ignore the repeat in music selection. I was in a rush to get this done for spring!!

Chubster's Dance Number

           If you can't see Chubster, she is in green skinny jeans, a pink cropped shirt, and well... she's one of the tall ones. You have to look for her in the beginning. She is in the middle back. For the middle of the dance, she has a lot of parts. And of course towards the end she's up front and soaking it in :P I was so proud of her because she... sniff.... she just shined! Chubster was so happy that day. But when the show ended I wanted to hug her and say "good job Sarah you rocked" but she kept aggressively pushing me away. While looking around to see if anyone was staring at her (I wasn't that embarrassing) she said "you're dropping my reputation level!" So mean. But it was her day so until we were "officially" 20 meters from the school, I could hug her and congratulate her in the face. Reputation? What reputation? Just Kidding.When people congratulate you loudly and obnoxiously, doesn't that make you feel special?  I will never fully understand that girl...

DIY: Tribal iPhone Case

   
              Obviously, I don't own an iPhone. Pooey. However, my super awesome friend Maggie (one to the far left) has one and said I can draw on her case! To the left is her case, and to the right is an unwanted case from my mom (which was recently bought by Chubster.) She wanted to give it to her friend so I told her she had to pay me $6 and tell her peeps that I am cool. Sooo worth it! Anyways as you can probably tell, I drew the design myself with a Sharpie marker. I also came up with the design!
              If anybody would like for me to do this to their case (for freeeeee) just write me a short email :) Don't worry about my eyesight. It is slowly focusing to things that are not 2cm from my face!
