Summer Fashion

So the first thing you should buy for Summer is a cute bathing suit. Buy a bathing suit with bright colors and one that you love. A boring black bathing suit isn’t that much fun.

For wearing a bathing suit to the beach I would put jean shorts on with it. Some other ideas would be wearing just a jean jacket with you bathing suit, or wearing shortalls over the bathing suit

Floral dresses are really cute with matching shades.

Wear bright colors for the Summer.

An idea for an outfit is wearing a floral blouse with jean shorts and Birks.

Try making your own jewelry.

Fifth Month in Blogging

I am here to say thank you for joining me on my journey on blogging. When I first began blogging I had a hard time thinking up of ideas but now I can’t stop thinking of ideas. I’m writing this early because I will not have time to publish this the first day of May. Remember my first entry? It was the beginning of the year! The very beginning. When I look back at those first days I can see that I grew. Even though mostly only family and friends look at my blog I want to try my best. At the beginning of my journey people from China are looking at my blog! Yesterday someone from Alaska looked at it!

How to Take Care of your Ears when you just got them Pierced

If you only have one piercing or many they can be challenging to take care of or just strait up confusing most of the time. Before I ramble at you to take care of your ears let me tell you a story:

So when I was in fifth grade I decided to get my ears pierced because when you have a pixie cut like me you get mistakingly called a “boy”. I hated it SO much. At least with my ears pierced people would see that I have both ears pierced. I went to Claires and got them pierced (by the way it hurts more than a shot) the person there was kind of mean and not talking to me. Then a few months later during the Summer I noticed my ear hole was getting extremely low. (My sister had an accident a few years earlier where she got her ears pierced and then one ripped out!) I was scared it would rip out and after talking to my friends/leaders at my camp I decided that I had to only wear one. So much for that!!!

Okay now that you heard my devastating story (I’m just being dramatic) time to take care of your ears!

  1. When you are deciding to get your ears pierced I’m just going to make this fast for you, definitely get your ears pierced;there is no better time than now to do things.
  2. Go to a professional shop to get them done. I made the mistake of not doing that. See if a local jewelry store or a tattoo shop pierces. Talk with the piercer to understand what will happen. Trust me the piercers are usually super friendly and understanding.
  3. When you get anxious take a few deep breaths than get it over with.
  4. When they give you cleaner use it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Every day apply it with a Q-tip. When I would go to sleepovers I would put the cleaner in a bottle.
  5. When you are ready to put in new earrings be careful and do it peacefully.

The Great Gilly Hopkins Book Review

April 28,2019

Hi! It’s GeminiLife! I am very sorry that I have not been doing daily blog entries. I have been very busy with projects and I cannot fit things I enjoy into my daily schedule. Since summer is almost here I will finally have time to write. Finally here is the book review…

Book: The Great Gilly Hopkins (Newberry Honor Book)

Author: Katherine Paterson (Author of Bridge to Terabithia)

Summery: The book is about a girl (Gilly) in foster care who gets placed in a home with a crazy family. The family is something Gilly is not used to; they are very loving towards each other. Gilly is really angry at the world because her mom did not take care 0f her. When Gilly receives a letter from her mother who she has not seen in years, she writes back and something terrible happens… READ THE BOOK TO FIND OUT WHAT HAPPENS!

Reactions: When I first read the book I could understand perfectly what Gilly was feeling even though I personally did not go through foster care. The author has a meaning/lesson behind the story that really touches your heart. The book is a quick read; I read it in one day. The time period was kind of hard to tell but my best guess is the seventies. If you enjoyed other foster care books than you will probably love this book.

A Greece Trip Chapter 4

Charlie woke to a start. Her sisters were screaming down the hall,”SNOW DAY!”Charlie jumped out of her bed to look out her window it was indeed snowing. All the cottages had pretty blankets of snow building up on their roof. “Charlie! Come on mom has pancakes ready!”Wren screamed

Charlie’s mom voice followed,”Wren, stop screaming.”

Charlie changed in to her clothes, brushed her dangly hair, and then headed down stairs.

“It’s snowing Charlie!”Stevie exclaimed.

“I know. I woke up to you guys screaming that,”Charlie replied.

All three sisters got up and threw a pancake on their plates. Except Wren who grabbed 3. They all smeared gooey syrup on the pancakes.

“Mom when did you have time to make these?”Stevie questioned pointing to the pancakes.

“I get up early every morning and when I heard it was a snow day I decided to make pancakes,”Their mother explained.

“Thes ih defious,”Wren said as she gobbled down all 3 of her pancakes.

Once all the girls were done with their pancakes they sat down to watch the Today Show. Wren and Stevie got bored and went off to play hide and go seek but Charlie stayed put. Charlie was watching for how long it would snow she dreaded going to school to deal with Jade. Charlie sighed in disgust.

“Honey whats wrong?”Her mom questioned as she sipped her warm coffee.

“Oh just thinking about what happened with Jade. But its fine I mean we will be friends in a few days…”Charlie dragged on

“Ok. But it sounds to me like Jade should apologize first though,”Charlie’s mom said. Charlie nodded and then went upstairs to join hide and go seek.

Later after five rounds of hide and go seek Charlie got an email on her kindle. Ding ding ding!!!

“What the?”Charlie said out loud. She left her hiding spot from the shower curtain and ran in to her room.

The email read:

To Host a Wonderful Super Bowl Party

By:GeminiLife Date:2/3/19

Just before I forget I wanted to say that I am sorry for not writing more often on this blog. I was very busy with my activities.I hope you enjoy this entry about hosting a awesome SBP(Super Bowl Party)!!!

If you don’t like football or just don’t strait down understand it(Its fine to admit it) you should still host a party. There is probably at least one relative or friend who loves football. Even if you don’t have a team you root for 24 7 just choose what team has the best logo or go along with your family and friends team at the Super Bowl Party. If you are a die hard fan paint your face the colors of the team. Or you could write the name of the team on your knuckles.

  1. So for food I have a few recommendations but they will be in different lists… So if you want to go to the extreme with food (we all love it) I would suggest making a cheese plate. If you have no clue what in the world a cheese plate is it is exactly what it sounds like. If you want to find some ideas go to,”That Cheese Plate”on Instagram. They literally were just on the Today Show.

2. This is the more quick and go food option… Nachos and salsa and PIZZA! Ok who doesn’t like that!? This is the ideal food dish because just call the pizza place and do a quick run to the grocery store. Plus the food is pretty cheap and delicious.

3. Have football themed decorations and clothes… Just go on a quick run to the dollar store and fill up your cart. Buy a jersey of the team you are rooting for at a local sports store. I would decorate the living room or where ever you watch the game.

4.Make sure you don’t just get ready for the game by yourself. Have friend thats coming to the party to help. When you do things by yourself you run out of time and bring a lot of stress down on yourself. For example have your friend get the decorations while you get the food.

5. All food needs drinks… I would have a full water and lemonade stock but to blow your guests away try a sweet Shirley Temple.

Ingredients:

-Sprite

-a little orange juice

And you’ll be set!

6.The perfect dessert… So this year it is the LOS ANGELES RAMS that are going to the Super Bowl and the Patriots 😦 I have recipes for both. So the first recipe is LAR chocolate chip cookies go to : TWosisersCrafting.Com. The recipe is long. Then for the Patriots go to the Patriots cookies on the same website.

I hope your team wins!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A Greece Trip Chapter 3

Charlie woke up on her bed surprised she fell asleep. Why in the world did I have a dream about Mimi Charlie thought. Charlie felt her Mimi’s necklace.

“Charlie! Dinners ready!”her mother shouted from downstairs.

“Yeah! Stop sleeping and get off your butt!”Wren called. Charlie rolled her eyes. Little sisters she thought. Charlie hopped out of bed and trotted down the stairs to the dining room. She sat in her normal chair.

“How was your day sissy?”Charlie other sister, Stevie asked. Stevie was named after Stevie Nicks. “Hey Char have you seen my telescope?”

“You lost your telescope?! Do you know how much that cost? I hope you find that quick young lady,”Charlie’s mom said sternly.

“Mom it’s in my room. I was just wandering if Wren moved it,”Stevie said sweetly. Stevie turned around and gave Charlie an uh-oh look.

Charlie let a little giggle slip. Stevie was the youngest and always got away with things. Wren was in 4th grade and Stevie in 3rd.

“My day was pretty poopy actually. See now I have the potty mouth that Wren has!”Charlie laughed she couldn’t help but make fun of her sisters.

Wren gave Charlie a mean look as their mom put spaghetti on there plates. Just then their dad walked in the door.

“Hey kiddos! How was your day and how was yours Molly?”Charlie’s dad asked then kissed Charlie’s mom on the cheek.

“Amazing,”Wren said.

“Awful,”Charlie sighed.

“Frustrating,”Stevie grunted.

“So tell me about the amazing,awful, frustrating day you had,”their father replied while sitting down in his chair.

“I got to be in the Brain Works assembly. Oh and I got a 100% on a math test. Ooh, and Maggie and me got to pick the next book we read in reading,”Wren blabbed.

Charlie explained her day to her father and then Stevie said,”So first Mrs.Kline more like Mrs. Bossy Possy Mossy Pants took me to the front of the class to work on division. In front of my whole class! Like what teacher does that. She was like,”Oh, Stevie, you need to work on math come with me to the front of the class or something like that.” Then Stevie was whispering,”I got home and my telescope was missing! I need to look for it.”

Wren got up and filled up the drinks. “I will help you look for it,”their dad whispered back. Relief spread through Stevie’s face.”You and Jade are just phases right now, new friends, weird personalities, and new hobbies. It happened with my friends too.”

Once their mother sat down she said,”Oh. Don’t forget to tell your dad about Greece.”

Charlie’s sisters looked around in confusion as Charlie told her father.

“What the heck. I am always stuck with Mrs.Green when Charlie does special things. Mrs.Green always talks about her cats. Don’t you think I should be the one going. Charlie’s been acting like a big poooopy head blaming it on PUBERTY. Like what the heck,” Wren said sassily.

“Apologize to your sister,”Charlie’s mom said. Wren apologized dully.

“I think that is fine as long as Charlie does the extravaganza thing and your mom or I chaperone. And don’t not want to do it because the whole Jade thing,”Charlie’s dad replied.

The rest of the night was pretty dull except Stevie finding her telescope and having sundaes. Charlie sat on her window looking at the stars, she wondered what tomorrow would bring…


A Greece Trip Chapter 2

Chapter 2

The rest of the day was odd for Charlie. She told Mrs. Cane that she didn’t feel well and Mrs. Cane sent her to the nurses. Charlie held her breath on the long walk there which didn’t do much to get her temperature up. The nurse said she could go back to class because there was only 15 minutes left at school. Charlie spent the rest of her time at school in a bathroom stall rethinking what happened with Jade and her friendship.

Charlie was glad later when she was getting on the bus because Jade rode a different one. Charlie planted her self in her normal assigned seat, which was next to a 6th grader, Chloe.

Once Chloe got on the yellow bus and sat next to Charlie she was talking,”Hey, I didn’t see you in art club.”

“Um I’m not in art club. I’m in drama,”Charlie said obviously annoyed.

“Oh. I thought I saw you once in the art room. I must of imagined it,”Chloe replied awkwardly.

“I was in there because Miss. Risser was giving me the painting I had in the office,”Charlie stated proudly.

“Oh,”Chloe said.

This is how every conversation of Chloe and Charlie’s went. But then again it was assigned seating. Charlie’s bus stopped at her house and she walked off. She lived in a friendly neighbor hood with many older pretty cottages. She walked up the drive way to see her mother waving through a window. Her mom was a stay at home mom. When Charlie was younger she loved it because her mom could come to her parties and concerts at school. But now her mom really had no activities to come to for Charlie. Instead her mom went to Wren’s (Charlie’s little sister) activities. Charlie opened the door and swung it so hard it touched her house.

“You ok Charlie?”her mom questioned.

“No,”Charlie always told the truth to that question.

“Ok. What happened?”her mom asked. Charlie explained every thing. Her mom comforted her and then said,”Now I got the email about the Greece camp. Mrs.Cane said it would be the trip of a life time. Now I’d be fine with that but we need to talk to your father. But you’d have to do the acting thingy to make the money go down and I would have to chaperone.”

“Ok mom. I just need to think about it,”Charlie sighed gloomily. Her mother nodded then went outside to greet Wren as she got off the bus.

Charlie walked to her room. She loved how her mom tried but her grandmother really would make Charlie feel better. If only her grandma was still alive…

Charlie sat on the floor of her grandma’s (or Mimi that she preferred) bedroom. Her mimi grabbed a miny glass table with little creatures on it and set it on the floor.

“Here are my most valuable possessions. I have got them through out the years at random stores. I want you to have them. I don’t need them in my life anymore I have nothing to loose except my family and my friends. Thats how most people should be. But that is impossible. The only reason I still have these are because they all symbolize things or relationships,”Mimi said with a smile as warm as honey.

“I would say no to taking these,but you have a point,”Charlie smiled back.

“Always truthful. You know Charlotte Marie that is a good quality most people do not have. Charlotte, you get that from your great grandma. She would be so proud if she was here today,”Mimi smiled to hang back tears.

Charlie loved it when her Mimi called her by her real name, Charlotte Marie. “Hey Mimi, Can you tell me the story of the glass tiny otter you always wear on your necklace?”Charlie questioned.

“Yes I will,”her Mimi hated when someone replied to a question with, sure,ok,a head nod,and a uh-hm. Mimi kept talking,”When I was a teenager I went to a beach for a band camp and my friends and I. Well actually do you know, Mrs. Green from church? I went with her. So anyway, I met this amazing guy on the way there. He played the french horn. He ended up coming with us and he payed for the pig! Imagine that! He didn’t even know us.”

” Yeah, I remember Mrs. Green. Was the guy Papa? Oh and what instrument did you play?”Charlie wondered out loud.”

“Yes he was your Papa. What a first impression? I twirled the flag. Later I twirled the rifle,” Mimi paused for a moment,”I want you to have this” she took off her necklace and put it on Charlie.
