Is this what people look up?

The first one is understandable… ;D

Costume Idea #4

The Magician

A magician is another quick and easy costume. The only thing that would take a little searching would be the hat, and maybe a bunny rabbit. If you don’t have any of these items, do a simple swap! No oxfords? Try some shiny black flats.

Great luck to you, my friend!

I Hate Titles

How am I suppose to come up with a title if I don't know what I am writing about? I wanted to check in though! So hello! Here I am, sitting in my first hour awaiting another grand day of school. No one can seem to open the door to my first hour. I helped them.
THE END.
School is about to start!
But I did get to say hello.

Never tickle a sleeping dragon

As we grow up we become attached to many things. Maybe it was a favorite blanket or stuffed animal when you were three. Later it might have been this awesome singer or CD at age 14. For some people (don’t understand this one) it could have been a boyfriend when they were 17.

For me it was Harry Potter.

I have been an avid Harry Potter fan for most of my life. At one point and time, it was my life. I’d read it over five times each, reading my favorites over and over. I marked the pages. I laughed, I giggled (not the same), I was angry, I cried. My sister and I would pass them back and forth. I remember knowing every fact about them.

It was Harry Potter that really fired my drawing up again. I started doodling the characters, all of them looking the same except for the hair. They had door shaped bodies, a round head, and stick legs. Eventually I became pretty proficient at art and it all started with HP.

Then something happened. I don’t know what happened, I guess I changed. I started to feel a little sick of it. I stopped reading the books and went inactive to the Harry Potter world. I remember telling Emma about this after the fact, how I was starting to realize I was moving on. I almost started crying!

Today I was talking to another avid HP fan about the books and about the movies. I talked to multiple people about it at once. It was just like old times. :) I am starting to feel the glow in my veins again…

I hope it doesn’t go away.

Love,

Emma—oops.

I mean Laura ( oh wait, she doesn’t write anymore! COME ON, LAUR!!!)

Costume Idea #3

Fairies. It is the perfect girly costume, and if you’re like me, you’ve always wanted to be one. Without feeling weird, you CAN FINALLY BE ONE (for Halloween)!

So, I created this idea a little differently. I wanted to give a few examples instead of one. Long maxi dresses are perfect for that fairy feel. Depending on what type of fairy you want to be (dark, nature-y, angelic) you can choose the color and style.

You can find wings on amazon, eBay, or even at Wal*Mart!

With the right accessories, make-up, outfit, and of course, wand, you will be one awesome fairy.

 

Good luck!

Costume Idea #2

Always wanted to be an artist? Well, or pues, now is your chance!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Some explaining for 3: Canvas shoes are really awesome in the way that you actually can be the artist for once. Grab some sharpies or acrylic paint and design, doodle, and draw to your hearts content. I’ve been wanting to try this for some time. Of course, if you’re on a budget you can always use your favorite shoes instead. :)

Good luck!

HOLA!

Happy Halloween!

Have you forgotten about a costume? Yeah. Uh huh. Whatever—we know you like Halloween. Quit pretending you’re too old to dress up.

Over the next few days I will be posting Halloween costume ideas. SO you will not have an excuse not to dress up.

Costume Number One: Belle from Disney’s Beauty and the Beast!

Wanna know a secret?

And I'm Free, Free-zing, Free-zing

My mom is pretty conservative. Especially when it comes to turning on the heater! I. Am. Freezing! So much so that I have used one of my favorite songs to fit my current coldness, with a few changes to the words. Free Falling By John Mayer

"And I'm free, free-zing, free-zing!

Instead of "And I'm free, free falling, falling."

To prove my coldness I will provide this evidence. I woke up with the blankets still cold against my skin! When I took a shower my feet freaked out because it felt like the sensation of going from a bucket of ice water to a hot tub! Then when I pumped out the shampoo it was thicker than usual because the difference in temperature! The coldness also allegedly made it so I could not comb my hair. So I conversed my complaints with my mom. She agreed it was cold but said she wouldn't turn on the heater until this afternoon. She wants to be sure this coldness it here to stay. I begged her to change it. In fact, most of our conversations this morning of been either about my freezing or my cat. (My cat is a whole other story!) Luckily my dear mom does care dearly about me. She brought me a blanket and had me put on my shoes and socks. I am also wearing my gloves.

I must say that I am most ardently grateful for long sleeve shirts!

_Em Ro the free, free-zing, freezing girl!

5000 Days; 52,483 Missionaries

“They say life makes sense backwards, but you’ve got to live it forwards.” – Keane in Night Train.

I watched the 5000 Days Project that was on BYU TV right after conference. It was so awesome! It shows these two brothers growing up. Watch this video down below and feel what they are talking about and who they are.

Their journey is seriously amazing. In the actual documentary Sam is shown on his mission via video blog. It is amazing to see how he changes. His stories are inspiring. He is inspiring, and a great example of what a missionary should be. Right now there are 52,483 LDS missionaries serving. I hope they are serving to the best of their ability. Seeing the youth of today and how good they are, I have no doubt they are. I have no doubt our missionaries are striving to follow the best example we have of a missionary, Jesus Christ.

Anyway, I just wanted to share this with you. Go to 5000daysproject.com to learn more.

Thanks for reading,

Mariah
