A Little Tip

Hello parents out there.

Let me give you a little tip. Don't ever EVER destroy your child's dream ok? Just please don't. I'm begging you not to. No matter how ridiculous their dream may be, don't even try. Don't you dare try. Do not force them to call it unrealistic. Just don't. You're supposed to be there to support and cheer them on. We children are honestly quite easy to understand. We just want love and for you to be there. We don't want you to humiliate us. We don't want you to tear us down. We want you stand there by our sides and push us a little further and hold us a little higher. And if we were to fall, we want you to be there to catch us and hold us until we're safe and sound. We want you to be there in the crowd cheering us on as we stride towards victory. We want you on our side even if we're dead wrong. So never go against our dreams please. Obviously we want a few other things such as toys, but no such thing is as important as those which I just listed about you.

I thought you wanted us to be safe and happy. Isn't that what you desire most? Us to be safe and happy. To be strong and healthy. To be smart and able to make it on our own? So why would you possibly tear down our dreams? That's doing the complete opposite. And honestly doing that will make us hate you. No, it's not possible for us to completely hate you. But trust me, that friendship you may have or could possibly gain would be completely gone. It'll be gone in a matter of seconds if you do that. Yes, you do have hope of regaining it but it'll never be the same again.

You can show them it's impractical in small doses that aren't very upfront. But to just go out and tell them that their dreams are ridiculous and would never happen. Don't you dare do that. I'm sorry if my tone is harsh or rude, but I just feel very strongly about this. Dreams are important to us. To some it could be the most important things.

Anyways, I just wanted to tell you all that before you hurt your relationship with your child.

P.S. I realize how hard it is being a parent. I don't know personally but I can imagine. We all make mistakes, but please just don't do this. Just be kind and laugh with them encouraging them. Because the time you guys have together is honestly quite short. Soon enough they'll be off in college leading on their own life in glory. And if you play your cards right, you'll be right along side them shining in the light next to them. You'll be able to continue laughing and fooling around with them. Only now they can support themselves and can help support you as well. Also, one last thing. Please, try not to take your anger from a friend or work or whatever out on your child. :)

Guess what day it is!

Hey guys!

Guess what day it is!

It's the ides of March! The day Julius Ceasar was killed! Now I know this isn't something to 'celebrate' and Julius was a somewhat awesome guy. Somewhat... I just have this grudge against him ok? It all has to do with October. It's cause he added more months to the year therefore pushing October back and no longer making it the eight month! I think someone else added another month making it the tenth though... I mean, they didn't even have the decency to change the time! -_- Why couldn't they make add those months after December?! That way the order would still make sense.

Anyways, I just wanted to pass that piece of knowledge on. :P

Tanya Burr's Make Up Line

Hey guys!

Do you guys know Tanya Burr? If not you should really check out her YouTube channel. I just found out that she has a make up line. It's absolutely amazing! I love it! At the moment she only has lip gloss and nail polish though.


This is her lip gloss in the color of "Let's Travel The World". I declare this as my exploration lip gloss. I must bring it with me every time I travel. I so dearly want to buy it right now. Maybe I just will. You can't find it in stores outside of the UK, but you can buy it online at Feel Unique.

Here are two colors of her nail polish. The blue one is "Little Duck" and the red one is "Mischief Managed". The rest of the colors are also absolutely beautiful. I want all of them! You can also buy them at Feel Unique.

Here's Tanya's entire store online.

My Lemon Iced Tea Recipe

Hey guys!

So yesterday was oddly hot here in Bangalore, so I decided to make myself some iced tea. However, I was out of my Lipton Iced Tea powder mixes -- or so I thought, I found it after I was done making my tea. :P Anyways, my mom told me that I could just make some by making normal tea but cooling it down. I thought that sounded awful! I mean normal tea is supposed to be hot! How on earth could it possibly taste any good cold?! So once she left, I decided I'd give it a go anyways. Here's what I did...

Ingredients:
- 4 bags of green tea
- 5 cups of boiled water
- A pitcher
- Sugar
- A lemon
- Ice

Steps:
My glass of tea

  1. Pour around 5 teaspoons of sugar into your pitcher & put the bags of tea in.
  2. Pour the boiled water into the pitcher and close the pitcher.
  3. Come back in around 15 minutes.
  4. Take out the tea bags and throw them out.
  5. Mix the sugar in.
  6. Cut the lemon and squeeze the juice into the tea.
  7. Put some ice in to help cool and put in fridge.
  8. Take out once cooled, put more ice in, and pour into a glass to drink.
  9. Optional: Sweeten to your pleasing.
That's it!

Let me know what you think if you tried it and if you have any recipes to drinks that you like. :)
