Thinking About... 5 Films I'm looking forward to!

Hi everyone! I realized that there are so many good movies coming out soon. I wanted to share 5 films that I am most looking forward to for the rest of 2016 and 2017.

1. Rouge One: A Star Wars Story (Dec. 16, 2016) - "The Rebellion makes a risky move to steal the plans for the Death Star, setting up the epic saga to follow."

I love Star Wars as you all probably know, so I am so excited for this film. I will probably see this weekend!

2. Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017) - "A young Peter Parker/Spider-Man begins to navigate his newfound identity as the web-slinging superhero."

I am somewhat apprehensive of this film, because there has been so many Spider-Man film made in the past. I do love Spider-Man and I hope this film meets everyone's expectations.

3. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (2017) - "Set to the backdrop of Awesome Mixtape #2, 'Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2' continues the team's adventures as they unravel the mystery of Peter Quill's true parentage."

I was a fan of the first Guardians of the Galaxy (I love Chris Pratt). So I am excited to hear that there is another one being released in 2017.

4. Power Rangers (2017) - "A group of high-school kids, who are infused with unique superpowers, harness their abilities in order to save the world."

I watched the trailer for this film and it looked really exciting. I think I watched a few power rangers episodes when I was younger, but I don't really remember :). This movie looks good though.

5. Beauty and the Beast (2017) - "An adaptation of the Disney fairy-tale about a monstrous prince and a young woman who fall in love."

I am very excited about this live action adaption of Disney's classic film! It looks really good!

There are quite a few more films that I am excited about, so I might make a second post!
Hope you all have a great Friday!

Thinking About... Finally Back!

Hi everyone! It has been forever since I have been on Blogger. I have been so busy and just haven't gotten a change to write a post or read any posts. School has been insane. I have finals soon and a lot of papers to write, so I can wait for Christmas break!
.

My summer's was great! I got to go camping, boating, and biking...

Our fire when we went camping :)

I also won some stickers from a giveaway by @pnwonderland on Instagram!

I'm so excited for Thanksgiving tomorrow! My favorite Thanksgiving food is mashed potatoes and gravy with stuffing and cranberry sauce. I like homemade mashed potatoes, but everything else, (gravy, stuffing, and cranberries) I like store bought, which isn't like me! What is your favorite food for Thanksgiving?

I'm also super excited for Christmas!! It is my absolute favorite holiday! I can't wait for the Christmas music, holiday decorations, and Christmas lights.

I made a Christmas themed computer wallpaper collage this morning. I really love it! It makes my laptop look so Christmassy! I got all of the pictures off of Pinterest. It you want to make one too, all you have to do is download the app "Fresh Paint" on the Windows store. You can then import pictures from your picture's library and make your own collage!!

I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving!!

Thinking About... Recent!

Hi all! I can't believe that July is going by so quickly! Unfortunately, it seems like I say that every month :( . Oh well. I've been pretty busy with a lot of photography stuff. I'm helping a local football team by taking pictures of their practices. It's really fun! I also just got Adobe Lightroom, so that has been super helpful for making my photos look finished. 

...

I've also been watching cooking shows on Netflix! I just finished season 5 of the Worst Cooks in America. It was AMAZING! I'm super addicted to competitive cooking shows ;). 

 

Bobby Flay and Anne Burell are amazing, but I have to say Bobby Flay is my favorite. 

Anyways, that's what I've been up to. I thought I'd better post something since it's been so long :).

Bye!

Thinking About... Happy Fourth of July 2016!

Hi everyone!

HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY!!

Do you have any fun plans for the fourth? My grandparents are here so that is exciting. I'm looking forward to eating good food, dressing patriotically, and watching the fireworks with friends!

I hope you all have a fun, exciting, and wonderful holiday!!

Thinking About... Apps on my phone!

Hey everyone! Happy 2nd day of July! Today I wanted to share some of the lesser known apps that I have on my phone. I didn't include extremely popular apps like Snapchat, Pinterest, or Instagram, because I am guessing you all already know about those :). My phone is also an android so this may be different for you if you have an Apple product.

The first app is Houzz:

If you are interested in interior design or beautiful rooms, this app is really cool. It is somewhat like Pinterest but is focused on houses. You can search for a specific style, like Scandinavian (my favorite) to Farmhouse, to Victorian. There are also pictures of outdoor spaces. I always love looking at the pools :). You then can categorize your favorite pictures into ideabooks, which are like boards on Pinterest. There are many other uses for this app also, but I mainly stick with organizing my favorite pictures.

Next we have Rainy Mood:

Now you can actually buy this as an app, but it costs money ($3.99 on Google Play). What I've done is I've saved the website www.rainymood.com onto the home screen of my phone where it looks like an app, but just takes me to the website. This website is really cool and I usually use it while I sleep. It plays raining noises which can help with sleeping, studying, or just thinking :).

Next we have Emojily:

This app is for android users and is super helpful. Sometimes when an android user sends an emoji to an Apple user, the emoji doesn't look the same. This app will show you what a certain emoji you use will look like to an Apple user.

You can see what it looks like above. The imput is from an android phone. The output is what those emojis will look like to an Apple user.

The next app is Heads Up!:

This is a game that is super fun to play with friends! It's a guessing game, were your friends give you hints to what the word is on the screen until you guess the correct answer. It keeps giving you new words until the timer runs out. It also videotapes your friends so you can see what they looked like as they were trying to give you the hints, it's pretty funny!

Next we have the app Stack:

This is just a simple app where you tap the screen to place the blocks on top of each other. If you tap to late, part of the block will break off, making to surface smaller for the next block you are trying to stack.

It's pretty fun and really simple to learn, but challenging to play :).

Next we have Quality Time:

This app calculates the amount of time you spend on your phone, and also which apps you spend the most time on. It is really cool, but can also make you feel pretty guilty for spending so much time on your phone lol.

It will also show you how many times you have unlocked your phone or a certain app.

Well that's it for today's post! What did you think of my apps? Have you ever used any of these or do you plan to?

Thanks for reading and have a great day!

Thinking About... My Favoirte Things About Summer!

Hello everyone! I'm so excited for summer, so I decided to write down some of my favorite things about summer.

"Going to bed in awe of everything. Open windows another night carrying the sounds of thick trees and crickets and distant coyote howls. Restlessness looms and distracts and dares us before we're ready. The stars burn above. Summer is close. Life is so wild and difficult and amazingly enchanting." Victoria Erickson

 My Favorite Things About Summer:

Reading interesting books - just read How to Live 24 Hours a Day by Arnold Bennett; it was super thought provoking.

Roasting marshmallows - I just had my first s'more last week. I had forgotten how much I love roasting marshmallows (and eating them ;D).

Cliff Jumping - I just went cliff jumping last week! It was freezing!

Camping - I LOVE CAMPING! I haven't gone yet, but I'm so excited! I'm not a hardcore camper, I like my pop-up trailer and a bathroom within walking distance :).

Fruit - This is the first summer that my family has bought fresh pineapple! My favorite summer fruits are watermelon and pineapple.

Going to the movies - I don't go to the movies too often, but when I do it's so fun. I just recently watched The Shallows; it was terrifying :)!

What are your favorite things about summer?

Hope you enjoyed; and have a good day!

Thinking About... I'm back!

Hi everyone! I'm sorry I've been gone for almost two months!! I was so busy I hardly even looked at Blogger :(. But I'm back now! I just finished school last Thursday, and am now so excited for summer!
What are some things you all are excited for, for summer?

The past few days I've been watercolor painting; I want to show you all some of the pieces I've created ;).

I was inspired for this painting because I love camping and can't wait to set up my pop-up camper!

I also painted the moon because I've seen a lot of watercolor paintings of the moon, and they looked so pretty.

I'll probably share some more paintings as I paint them, but this is all I have for now :).

I hope you all have a great week; it's good to be back :D!
