Wow, school, again. This year is easier then last year (at least for me). I don't have as many hard classes. The only hard class I have is AP English. And yeah, it's hard, but you get through it. Stress is something everyone deals with. Even if they don't realize it. Some awesome stress relievers can be found at:

Don't try and fight stress, it gets you more stressful, instead, deal with it with these. These are scientifically proven to help. So try it. Trust me, you'll feel much better.

It's been a looooong time since the last update, sheesh I've been busy, but hey, summer's coming and school is ending...thank goodness. I was getting so tired of going to bed early. Some cute outfit idea's for this summer. Long summer dresses are so fashionable now, and I know exactly why. The flow of it provides comfort and even though it may be long, it's not hot to wear, plus putting accessories with it creates a perfect outfit.

The next outfit is a lot more casual, but still totally stylish. The elbow length sleeves and baggy shirt, tucked into jean shorts, with a cute belt is really all you need to look awesome for the summer. This would be when it's not 100 degrees out of course, unless you can withstand the heat with longer sleeves. The outfit is one of my favorites and I love wearing it to school. The accessories are just to make the outfit pop, but for this outfit all you really need are sandals, and something like what was described before and it creates a stylish, comfortable, outfit.

Wow, it's been a while. Just so much stuff to do. But I thought I'd start this up again. I have something that I neeed to share. And it's about fandoms. We all have that one thing that we love like crazy, from something like Adventures in Odyssey, to something as popular as Doctor Who. I have a few fandoms myself, and it includes both of the things mentioned before. Having a fandom is fantastic, because it's great to be passionate about something. I love talking to people about Doctor Who, or Adventures in Odyssey. It brings people together, but it can get to a point where it's crazy. I've even been guilty of this myself. If you do have a fandom, just be careful, because unless you're with people that are as crazy about it as you are, then try to not screech like crazy. I've learned the hard way.

 But somehow I still manage to freak a few people out...anyway, for all of you Whovians out there this is a Fantastic way to get a work out

Great fall idea. A white tank with a cute black pea-coat. Skinny jeans and high boots. The leaf earrings and bangles add a fall vibe to the outfit, but add snowflakes earrings and a light blue or purple bracelet changes it instantly into a winter outfit. The purse matches the boots and though it's cute any purse would add to the outfit. The scarf is what tops everything off. When the scarf matches the earrings and bracelet it's always a great style. Matching jewelry and other accessories are always a great way to bring style to an outfits.

HEY! So I've decided that there are medical and social issues that need to be brought up..soooo once a week that's what I'm going to do. This week it is Dyslexia. This is the actual definition of the disorder, 

                   Developmental reading disorder is a reading and writing disability that occurs when the brain does not properly recognize and process certain symbols. It is also called dyslexia.

I have to sat that I feel everyone's pain that has Dyslexia because I have it myself. I was not doctor diagnosed but it runs in my family and I always wondered why I would write letters that were not what I actually meant to write. This disorder is complicated, but with motivation can easily be overcome. For me the hardest things and the things that I mess up all the time are m and w, how and who, and b, p, and d. These words and letters catch me all the time. There are also times when I write I instead of a, or vise versa, or even my instead of me. Actually I do that one a lot. Instead of putting me I'll put my for no reason. I figured out that it was dyslexia and even though my friends still jokingly make fun of me for it I don't mind because I now that I can't do the same as other people. And who cares? I love to write and read and my Dyslexia hasn't stopped me. So for all of you who have dyslexia and are struggling, keep trying and pushing yourself because one day you will be extremely successful!
Here are some of the people who have had dyslexia in the past:and some pictures that I thought some people would appreciate:

Randomness!! Who else besides me loves to bake? Well I have an amazing recipe for red velvet cupcakes which is my favorite cupcake ever! And if you want the link it's right here:
http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/paula-deen/red-velvet-cupcakes-with-cream-cheese-frosting-recipe/index.html
      And if you are a baker or even a cooker lets just say that Food Network is the place to go. It has some of the best recipes and easiest to follow. I use it all the time when I need a recipe to make. But here is the recipe for the red velvet cupcakes:

Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cocoa powder
  • 1 1/2 cups vegetable oil
  • 1 cup buttermilk, room temperature
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons red food coloring
  • 1 teaspoon white distilled vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Cream Cheese Frosting:

  • 1 pound cream cheese, softened
  • 2 sticks butter, softened
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 4 cups sifted confectioners' sugar
  • Chopped pecans and fresh raspberries or strawberries, for garnish

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 (12-cup) muffin pans with cupcake papers.

In a medium mixing bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, and cocoa powder. In a large bowl gently beat together the oil, buttermilk, eggs, food coloring, vinegar, and vanilla with a handheld electric mixer. Add the sifted dry ingredients to the wet and mix until smooth and thoroughly combined.

Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake tins about 2/3 filled. Bake in oven for about 20 to 22 minutes, turning the pans once, half way through. Test the cupcakes with a toothpick for doneness. Remove from oven and cool completely before frosting.
For the Cream Cheese Frosting:
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, butter and vanilla together until smooth. Add the sugar and on low speed, beat until incorporated. Increase the speed to high and mix until very light and fluffy.

Garnish with chopped pecans and a fresh raspberry or strawberry.

Cook's Note: Frost the cupcakes with a butter knife or pipe it on with a big star tip.

*what I do for the frosting is just take a plastic bag and cut a medium or small hole on one of the corners and then put the icing in it. You don't have to have the fancy star tip to make a swirl or for it to be pretty.

Next Post is about school
I have this problem too, especially in math and history. Don't take on more then you know you can. Don't take an extra AP or honors class if you know you'll struggle. I did that and so far the year is pretty good. Also if you know you need help go to your teachers. Trust me they may seem intimidating but they are amazingly smart and want you to succeed. Who cares what your friends think, your future is what you should care about. Getting into a good college or graduate school is what you need to worry about, not the next big thing or social status. Also when you're stressed getting a good night sleep is the best thing that you can do, trust me. With a good night sleep your body isn't as overworked and you feel a lot better then with only six or even seven hours of sleep.
