Bible Journaling Entry #1

I recently got a journaling bible and finally did my first entry. This is the my process and materials I used.

First I planned out the verse in pencil.

Then I traced it in colored pencils and outlined a flower in pencil.

Then I filled in the flower with colored pencil, then I started adding some watercolor to the letters and later to the flower. By the way, the watercolor didn't bleed through the page surprisingly.

After I finished the watercolor, I made a tab for the top of my page.

By the way these are the watercolors I used. The brand is Milan.

How to Make Simple and Healthy Pancakes

This is how I make these simple and healthy pancakes. Enjoy!

The only ingredients you need to make these pancakes is 1 banana and 2 eggs, plus any other things that you like. I always like to add chia seeds and cinnamon and sometimes chocolate chips. Share in the comments what you like to put in them.

First you want to mash up the banana in a bowl with a fork.

Then add the 2 eggs and mix.

Add whatever else you want and mix.

Then cook on a pan just like you would a normal pancake.

To finish it off I added some sliced strawberries and powdered sugar, and later I added some syrup.




Sorry this is 1 day late, I had sooooo much homework yesterday.

10 High School Tips

1. Avoid drama at all costs!- you will be a lot happier and less worried, do it!

2. Lay out your stuff the night before- lay out your outfit for the next day, pack your bag, and make your lunch the night before and your life in the morning will be much easier.

3. Make sure you start your homework before 7 or even 6- this doesn't mean you have to do it right when you get home but if you start it at least before dinner, you will be way less stressed and you will get more sleep.

4. Use your planner- write down all your homework while you are still in class so you don't forget about anything, again less stress for the next day.

5. Take every opportunity for extra credit- if your teacher gives you any opportunity, do it. You will be very thankful you did at the end at the grading period. It may even be the difference between a letter grade.

6. Study with friends- if you set a date to go study with friends, you will probably get more done than if you just stay at home and procrastinate.

7. Make sure you take time to do fun things with your friends or family- to relieve stress and take a break.

8. Don't conform to trends if you don't like them- you don't need to do things in high school or ever just to "be cool" because then you aren't being yourself.

9. Always ask for help if you need it- ask you teachers for help if you don't understand something, and if you don't like your teacher, ask another teacher in the same department and they will gladly help you.

10. Don't stress about tests- if you understand the material pretty well and you can keep your grade up before the test, then you will probably do fine on the test, and if you don't then your grade will have a cushion as long as you can keep it up with projects and little assignments.

February and March Empties

 Greetings, so usually I do an Empties every month but I decided to wait 2 months so I could have more things to show.  Enjoy!

This is the Maybelline Fit Me concealer, which is my favorite ever and I have already re-purchased it.

I used up a mini size of the Cetaphil cleanser that i just kept in my shower, but I have the full sized that I use everyday by my sink. I also have the Cetaphil daily facial moisturizer which is my favorite and I have already re-purchased it.

I used up my first bottle of the Garnier Skinactive Micellar Water, here I have a review of it http://heidi-loo.blogspot.com/2016/02/garnier-skinactive-micellar-cleansing.html  I have already re-purchased this, and I just went through some cheap cotton rounds from the drugstore which is how i use this product.

Here I have the Be Delectable by Cake Beauty Body wash and the Hair and Body Mist in lemon and cream. I love the scent of these and I will probably be purchasing the full size of the spray soon.

This is a triple moisture cream from Bath and Body Works in London Tulips and Raspberry Tea. I liked this a lot but it started to get boring towards the end, it's very floral and sweet and also the lid broke and I lost it so I'm so glad I'm finished with it because I could never stand it up.

As for some random things, I have the Curly Sexy Hair conditioner that has taken me forever to get through but I liked it even though it wasn't my favorite. Lastly, I have the Colgate Optic white toothpaste which has been my favorite for a while  but I am currently trying out a new one, but I may go back to this.

How to Crochet a Flower Headband/Garland

This is how I made a crochet flower garland. (Btw, I used my little sister as a model, check out her youtube channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9V8ESv0vUEGmCHB5eZIBgg )

This is the yarn I used. I got these all from a second hand craft store in my town. The turquoise is Good Shepherd Tulip 100% acrylic yarn. The peach and lavender are Patons Promise yarn. The white is KFI Chunky yarn.

The needles I used were Boye U.S.A. needles in 4.25mm for the colored yarn, and 5.5mm for the white yarn.

To make the Flowers...

     First chain 4, then connect to make a loop with a slip stitch in the first chain.

  Chain 2, then do 2 double crochets in the loop, slip stitch in the loop to finish the petal. 

Repeat until you have 5 petals. Chain 1, cut the string and pull the end through. Leave the 2 long strings so you can tie it to the garland later.

To make the garland, I just chained and every once in a while, I would slip stitch a couple of chains in to make it look like leaves, you can make this as long as you want but I just made it so it would have some slack if you used it as a headband.

Take your flowers and connect them to the garland by pulling the strings through different parts of the chain, then tying the strings together into a few knots. You can be creative by mixing different colors and sizes of flowers so have fun with it.

Here I demonstrate it being used as a headband and as decoration.

Thanks for reading and Happy Easter!

Simple Spring Makeup Routine

Since I am now on Spring Break, I made a roundup of the products I will be using to do my makeup for most of this week as we are in Utah and we will be exploring and hiking around, and I think simple makeup like this is perfect for this occasion. 

Fist I will use the Maybelline Fit Me concealer under my eyes a little bit, on any blemishes, and on my eyelid to cancel out the veins. I will follow by setting the concealer with the Rimmel Stay Matte powder in transluscent to avoid creasing.

Next I will add some blush, this is the Tarte Amazonian-Clay 12 hour blush in Fame. I think this is the perfect blush for spring because it has peachy and coral undertones.

Then I will highlight with the Wet N Wild Coloricon Bronzer in Reserve your Cabana which is definitely not a bronzer. This gives such a pretty natural glow which is perfect for natural makeup like this.

Then I will line my water line with the NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Yogurt to brighten the eyes, I will follow that up with some L'Oreal Telescopic Carbon Black Mascara on top and bottom lashes. This mascara is amazing because it will never get clumpy but it still adds volume and length. To finish everything off, I will just hit my brows with a little bit of Maybelline Brow Drama in Soft brown to define my eyebrows.

Mini Ulta Haul

These are the few things that I ordered from Ulta recently.

This is the Maybelline Color Elixer in Caramel Infused. I got this because I wanted a new lipgloss but really because there was a deal that if you got 2 Maybelline products then you get 1 free, and I already had 2 Maybelline products I was getting so I got this as my third product. I really like the color and the formula but it smells really weird.

I got the Maybelline Fit Me Concealer in 15 Fair because it's my favorite concealer and I just ran out of it. I love how light weight it is so it never looks cakey but it still covers up.

I got the L'oreal Telescopic Carbon Black mascara upon request from KathleenLights and I hated the mascara that I had before this so I needed a new one. I love this so far because it is easy to work with and it never gets clumpy.

Lastly, I got the Maybelline The Nudes eyeshadow palette because I don't have a drugstore eyeshadow palette, I only have single eyeshadows from the drugstore, and I liked the look of this one. I really like it so far accept for the 2 lightest shimmery shades, especially the one on the top because they have barely any pigmentation, but the rest are great.

Thanks for reading!
Let me know if you want to see a swatch post for the palette.
