Scrutiny: Despicable Me 3 [SPOILERS]

     Bello! I recently went to the movie Despicable Me 3. I had a great time! This movie is funny and very cute. It centers around the protagonist, Gru, getting fired from his job and finding his long-lost twin brother Dru. They work together to defeat another villain called Evil Bratt, who acts as if he is a stereotypical 1980's actor. The movie is emotional at times, laugh-out-loud funny, and full of suspense.

My Rating: ★★★★☆

Sorry for the short post this week; my internet is being very annoying and keeps buffering.

Ciao until Friday, Candies!

Things to do when you are BORED OUT OF YOUR MIND!

     Howd'ya like my attempt at clickbait??? Anyway, let's face it; summer can be boring. Here are some things I do when the boredom threatens to make by eyeballs explode. 👁💥

1. Go swimming. This might not be an option for everyone, but most people can access a community pool or something like that. Otherwise, just get active!
2. Read a book. Some great ones are:
1. Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand
2. Seabiscuit by Laura Hillenbrand
3. The Martian by Andy Weir [PROFANITY WARNING]
3. Start a blog. If you have a Google account, just go to blogger.com to get started. It's free, highly gratifying, and fun!
4. Read my blog! *CUE PROMO* 
   
5. Go on Khan Academy or Duolingo. Get your learn on!

SEE YOU FRIDAY, CANDIES! MAKE SURE TO FOLLOW AND COMMENT. CIAO!!!

Evolution of a Graphic

     Ciao, Candies! I am still not feeling well, if you read my last post. I also somehow injured my ankle, so yay. Today I decided to do a new type of post, so make sure to comment and let me know what you think. Let's get started!

I always use Canva or PicMonkey to edit my graphics; today I'm using Canva.

I start with a layout from Canva's selection usually, but sometimes I use custom dimensions.

Next, I choose a template. I don't always do this, but it is an easy way to make a clean-looking image.

Templates are displayed on the left.

Once I have chosen a template, I customize it to say what I want.

Thank you for reading and make sure to be back next week. Bye!

Hello Summer! *cough cough*

       AAAAAAAAAAAAACCCCCCCCCCCHHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Hello, you guys. I'm sick. And I got off fro school yesterday. So I can now be sick in peace. Yay. Next year, I go to Thornton Junior High, which I am very excited for. But really, what is up with the weather here in the Bay Area of California. Like, what? It was cloudy and raining a few days ago, colder than most days in fall, and today I almost got a sunburn. I am going to keep this post short since I am sick (or just lazy, it's a mystery) and... I have no ideas. Great. I am sure my fellow bloggers can relate. Oh wait!

                                  What to do when you are bored over the summer:

            Play agar.io in a party with your friends while videochatting on a different tab so you can hear their reactions while playing yourself.

                 Start a blog. Really simple, just go to blogger.com and sign up. It's free.

     Read my blog every Friday. (shameless promo)

Sorry for the trashy post, but my idea drought is worse than the decade-long drought in California.

*cough* BYE! Now get outta here. (JK) 

Nutty Candy Blogging Challenge

     Hey y'all! Since there are so many blogging challenges out there, I decided to add to the cacophony. I present... The Nutty Candy Blogging Challenge!

Rules:

1. Mention and link the person who nominated you, and the creator of this award (me).

2. As a blogger, write about a challenge you overcame, something that came easily to you, a favorite memory from blogging, and something you want to change.

3. Nominate some bloggers to do this challenge.

     A challenge I had to overcome was coming up with post ideas. Something that came easily was actually writing the posts because I wrote as if I was talking. I was really happy when I hit 20 followers, but I get sad when I know I haven't put out my best work.

Nominees:

One Lovely Blogger Award

     Yes, I know I didn't post last week. I had 2 projects due and we were going somewhere for Memorial Day weekend, so no hate, please!

     I was nominated by TargetGirl from targetgirlonline.blogspot.com to do the One Lovely Blogger Award.

     The rules are as follows:

1 - Compose a post based on this award!

2 - Nominate no more than 15 bloggers to participate!

3 - Share 7 facts about yourself!

4 - Let your nominees know about it!

     Facts about me:

1.  I am very indecisive and will spend hours shopping all like, "Should I get it? No, too expensive.          Actually, nah, it's fine. But it's not pink! Well duh, half of my wardrobe is pink. But I like pink! Or      do I...?"

2.  I play the clarinet and piano and have been playing some kind of instrument for half my life.

3.  I have a strange memory; I can remember things for school, but I forget to do everyday things like      drink water.

4.  Both grandparents on my mom's side of the family are doctors.

5.  I have been to 7 countries in total, including airplane stopovers.

6.  My initials sound like 'envy' if you say them really fast.

7.  I am a freak about gymnastics; I know things that only hardcore fans would know. For example, Olympic alternate Mykayla Skinner participates in NCAA gymnastics for Utah and is ranked 3rd in the country. She is also the first one to do a double twisting double back tuck in women's' NCAA.

And the nominees are...

Birthday Haul 2017!!!

     DISCLAIMER: I do not mean to brag, boast, or hurt anyone by sharing these presents with you guys.

     Hey, Candies! I had my birthday party recently, and these gifts are from my amazing friends. Can't wait to show you guys, so let's get into it!

My friend got me 27 nail polishes, remover, nail vinyls, and sponges; all nail essentials. Thanks so much!

These cute pencil cases will be very useful!

Eve though I don't blog about fashion, this sequin-flippy shirt and matching leggings are so soft and comfy that I wore it to school!

Lip glosses will be very useful for the performances and recitals I have coming up.

Can't wait to prank my dad this summer!

Very fun; like charades, but better.

This fancy coat is warm and looks great!

I need this in my life; my desk is an absolute mess.

This Coconut Orchid bath set smells so good I almost don't want to use it; I said almost.

These Cardiff skates are very unique since I can wear my favorite pair od shoes inside them. Thanks, Dad!

     I would like to say a huge THANK YOU to everyone who celebrated my birthday with me. I had a ton of fun, and every one of you made it so special. YAY! If you can't see the photos, I am terribly sorry. I can't reupload them because I lost the pictures, so oops! again, sorry.
