Essentials of Travel

Since my trip is coming soon, I thought what better time to do a "road trip essentials"  post? ! So... that's what I'm here for! 😍😋😝 I am going to make a list of things I can't go on trips without. 👍 I'll explain what you might need this for and why I have to have it with me. Whether it be an overnight, car trip, or an airplane ride across the world, here are things that I NEED (besides the absolute necessities) my phone, charger, and earbuds- I have to stay connected to the world...  💬 camera- take some cute photos of whatever 💕 laptop- to keep up with you guys! 💻 two of my favorite books- read it along the way if you get bored 📖 microfiber hair towel- BEST THING EVER- get one!!

Hey, ya'll! ❤I am super excited to be back in the blogging world and tell you guys some super exciting news. I was just told over the weekend that my mom and I will be heading to Waco, TX next week! 😀 In case you don't know me that well, my mom and I have always loved to just sit down and watch the HGTV show, Fixer Upper. My mom and I have alway wanted to go to Waco because of their shop, and we both knew that we would eventually go together one day. Around this time of year, Magnolia does this thing called the "Silo-bration". It's an annual thing that is supposed to be really fun and exciting. Apparently, my parents and grandparents have known about this for a long time already. So... I'm going to give you guys the details and then you can subscribe if you want to see more pictures... time for the plan! 👍 After school on Wednesday, my mom and I are going to make sure everything is ready and then take our car down to Charlotte, NC. We're g

Sorry it's been so long since I've posted! I have been so busy with camps, traveling, and getting ready for school. Speaking of school, I have a really fun craft that I have been working on. I am going into Middle School this fall, and I get my own locker!! Every student gets one and I am super excited to decorate mine! I thought I would share a few of the things I am putting in it, along with a craft. Hope you are inspired as much as I am! 💗 Organization For my personal organization, I like to use shelves and bins. I already have a little square bin from Walmart that I will link below. I also just got back from my school shopping, and while I was at Office Depot, I got a "locker kit" which I will also link down below. The locker kit has six pieces to it: two magnets, a little container, a mirror, a white board, and a dry-erase marker. I am also going to have a gym bag where I keep all of my stuff for P.E. (It is a black Adidas drawstring. Unfortunately,

Once again I have a friend with me. I am so sorry I couldn't post the "Slime Tutorial"... I kept trying, but the videos wouldn't upload! Anyways, the friend with me now will tell you a little bit about herself. Now I'll hand it over to Gabrielle Chasse! "Aloha! My name is Gabrielle Chasse! Isabella and I have been friends for two years now! She moved to my neighborhood and rode the bus to school with me! I am a year older than her, so we didn't see each other during school much. Over the years, Isabella and I have baked, danced, and even started an old business! Last year I went to middle school. That interfered with spending much time together. Nice meeting you! By the way, go check out my social media!    Instagram: gabcoslimes Musical.ly and Youtube: gabriellechasse "                                                                                       Thanks so much, Gabrielle!

Testing Three Slime Recipes!

Image
Today I thought we'd do something a bit different, and here was my idea...  Lately I've been into slime. My family and I went out and bought six bottles of glue, just for experimenting! I haven't found MY slime recipe. (You know... the one I will use every single time.) So, because of that I went online and googled simple slime recipes . I found three that I had the supplies for and decided to experiment with them, what a great way to be able to share them with you guys! I am pasting the website I found the recipes on and the instructions below. Hope you like it!  1.  Regular Slimey Gak Website I got it from: https://www.homesciencetools.com/learning-center/how-to-make-slime Simple Slime This version of slime (or Gak) is made of glue and Borax.

3 DIY Mother's Day Gifts

3 Simple DIY Mother's Day Gifts It seems that every year, I buy something expensive for my mom. I don't want to spend money on things that my mom might only use once. This year, I asked her what she wanted, and she said anything that was made by me. Okay, but where do I start? I went on Pinterest and picked out a few that looked easy enough to make as an eleven year old. (Not to mention making it with my little brothers too.) Here are 5 DIYs that save your Mother's Day budget.  1. Marbled Coffee Mug  Items needed:  1 white coffee mug (can find at the dollar-store) two different colored Nail polish bottles (in your mom's favorite colors) warm water  a few toothpicks a large bowl (deep enough for your mug to fit in) wax paper Process:  Take your warm water and fill the bowl 3/4 of the way full.
