how to make the best smoothie in the world!

ok, well, i was a t a friends house the other day and we decided to make smoothies. we didn't know if it would be the best thing since microwave popcorn, or if it would be completely and utterly disgusting. so we gave it a shot and hoped for the best. but in my mind i thought of the worst. on the contrary, it was actually pretty amazing. turns out, our hope had been right..and we sat down and enjoyed our amazingly delicious smoothie. I know what your thinking...pleeease give me the recipe....well today is your lucky day my friends. so here it is...

Whats you'll need:

1 banana

6 frozen strawberries

6 frozen blueberries

a small handful of crushed ice (for that cold crunchy taste)

and 1/2 cup of fruit juice (preferably all natural)

we used a fruit juice that had a full serving of fruits and vegetables (it was pretty good)

blend all that together and enjoy!!

try it and tell me what you think by commenting. also i need help figuring out a name for it...so give me your ideas!

Regina Spektacular

So have you ever heard of Regina Spektor? she's possibly the best female singer...well not the BEST, but she's pretty close! one of my favorites from her is "the calculator." i also like "two Birds" too! so if you haven't heard of her, go check her out on youtube or you can scroll down and listen to a couple of her songs on my playlist. tell me what you think of her by leaving me a comment! :)

blueberry picking

so i took an excursion to a blueberry farm today (hence the name), and it was great. i frolicked through the entire field. although i did get a tummy ache from them because i probably ate 2 out of every 3 i picked. and that's the thing about blueberry farms.

they don't care how much you eat. its lovely.

so leave a comment and tell me what you like about u-pick blueberry, strawberry, peaches, etc. farms!

4th, politics, and what not

ok, so yea. umm its now the 4th of July. just to let you know. aanndd i have no plans....not a single one. On the upside, i talked to a senator of my state who is running for lieutenant governor. and im gonna get involved in the campaign. kinda excited! and he's really siked about it too! what better to do hard things and even learn about politics the right way! i encourage all you readers to do the same! get involved. make a difference. one of my favorite sayings from teenpact is "People dont care how much you know until they know how much you care," and that pushes me to show the world that the "myth of adolescence" is simply just what it says...a myth. comment and tell me what you think.

P.S. Happy 4th of July!!!:)

Memory Lane

ok i haven't written in a while..been kinda busy. so here's another poem i wrote...enjoy:)

Memory Lane

Today i took a stroll 
down old memory lane,
when i saw you standing there
in all your glorious fame.
with leaves falling all around you
and you all snuggled up and warm
you extended out your arms to me
but in your eyes i saw the storm.
when you whispered that you loved me
and then went and broke my heart
when you held me oh so gently
and then tore me all apart.
oh the days I poured my eyes out crying
and all the sleepless nights
but I can now say I'm finally over you
because i figured its not worth the fight
so now when i arise tomorrow
and start off a brand new day
I've decided not to go back down
that old memory lane.

a teenager's summer

one of the main goals during teenage years, especially summer, is not to just lay around, hang out with friends, and relax.....its about preparing yourself for the future. and what better time is there to do it. i used to think, and sometimes catch myself thinking it now, that when i  get older, ill clean my house more, ill cook, ill make money,  or even ill show more love to people. but the truth is...if i don't practice it all now, why would i have any intentions of doing it in the future? its better to start making good habits now while you have nothing to do. and don't let people look down on you because of your age. adults put on us this image that we are all the same...immature, lazy, kids. they don't expect you to do anything productive. and because we have no expectations, we fall short of all the things we can accomplish. some of you may have heard of the book Do Hard Things by Alex and Brett Harris, and i encourage you to read it because it has changed my life! you can also visit there website therebelution.com. check it out and let me know what you think by leaving a comment! 

ugh...sunburns :(

so the worst thing that could possibly happen is getting a sunburn! actually, its not...but it sure feels like it at the time, ha ha. And whats even worse about it is when you put on tons of sunscreen that doesn't really work but people try to convince you that it does...and then you find out it doesn't..the hard way! And you know advertisers will do almost anything just to get you to buy there product. constantly bashing other products just to sell there's..its terrible. so how do you know which one to buy?... i don't really know, i was hopping you could tell me :). by the way, its kinda random, but i never can tell if you use hoping or hopping when trying to use hope with ing on the end. someone once told me but i forget. leave a comment and let me know :)
