How to Write a Post About How to Write a Post About How to Write a Post

     Step 1: Write an intro; need I explain?

     Step 2:
          Show how to divide the process of writing a post about a post into 3 easy steps.                                     Recommended steps are Write, Visualize, and Finalize.

          2a. Step 1: Divide the process into 3 steps; Write, Visualize, and Finalize, and explain them.

               2a1. The first step is to write the post, which is a process in itself. basically, think of an idea and write the first things that come into your head and go with the flow. We'll fix it later.

              2a2.  The second thing one might want to do when writing a blog post is make a graphic. I use Canva, and for the sake of efficiency, I will not elaborate. If you care enough to make an account, Canva itself will give you a tutorial.


               2a3. The third one must do to write a successful post is to edit. Read it over or use spell check (we are all guilty of it).

          2b. Follow your own guidelines to write a post.

     Step 3. Write an outro; tell people you love them, etc.

     Step 4: Hit Publish and forget this ever happened or you will get your brain in a big confused clump.

Pressed Penny Souvenir Stash

Ahoy, mateys! This Friday, I will be sharing with you my collection of pressed penny souvenirs. You know those machines that look like coin slot phones, but actually have these copper ellipses painted on the sides? Yeah, those are pressed pennies, and I collect them. You can get them at many locations in the U.S., but enough of my rant. Let's get to it!


Winchester Mystery House, San Jose, California.

Yeah, okay, I get it. My photography sucks. In my defense, I took these photos with my mom's phone on our living room rug.


Christmas In The Park, San Jose, California


The Tech Museum, San Jose, California

When my parents recognized computers from the 90's that looked like boxes, I finally realized how ancient they are. (My parents, not the computers)

JK 💗 you guys!


Muir Woods, Marin, California

The trees here are even more ancient than my parents, and that's saying something!

Still kidding, of course.


San Francisco Zoo, San Fransisco, California

Loved it!


Yosemite National Park, California

2016


Mono Lake, Lee Vining, California

This lake has a high sulfur content. It also has a lot of quicksand which STOLE MY MOM'S SHOE!


Lake Shasta Caverns, Redding, California

Go to my Travelogue post to see more of my misadventures here!


Circus Circus, Las Vegas, Nevada

A carnival themed hotel in Sin City.


Old Mission Santa Barbara, Santa Barbara, California.

One of the 21 Spanish missions in CA.


Solvang, California.

A city built in Danish fashion.


Yosemite National Park, California

2017

No, I am not going to make another Travelogue post because we didn't take enough photos. 😞



Not a penny, but a cute keychain from Yosemite. Funny fact; although a bear sighting is supposedly 'rare', my dad has seen one every time he's been to Yosemite. And he's been there a lot!
I call him RaspBEARy
Cheesy, I know
Berry cheesy
😎


Fort Bragg and Willits, Mendocino, California

IT WAS SO COLD!!!

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.

Make sure to follow my blog!

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]
    4. Start a blog. If you have a Google account, just go to blogger.com to get started. It's free, highly gratifying, and fun!
    5. Read my blog! *CUE PROMO* 
    6. 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.

    Before:

    After:


    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:

    Bubbles from atweenschitterchatter.blogspot.comatweenschitterchatter.blogspot.com

    TargetGirl from targetgirlonline.blogspot.com
