Tips for cleaning up your room with a good mood

Everybody knows that feeling when you are entering your room and it is so messy you can't even look at it because there is too much stuff laying around and you need to clean it but you just are too lazy. Well today is your lucky day because I am giving you some great tips to help you tidy up that mess.

Tip #1 - Put some music on 

To put a beautiful smile on your face you should try listening to music while you are cleaning your room. I usually listen to the Today's Happy Pop on Songza (on the site or the app). Sing and dance to the music and it will may it much easier to clean.

Tip #2 - No piles under the bed

If you have dirty clothes, papers or whatever you have don't put them under your bed, because you will one day regret that laziness you had when you were "cleaning" your room and that day is when you will find interesting and ugly creatures in your room. hahahhahahahaha! So put everything were it belongs.

Tip #3 - Throw the stuff you won't need

This tips is similar to the second one. If you have papers, wrappers or anything you won't need in the future, throw it !

Tip #4 - Don't get distracted

If you find anything cool or interesting like a photo album from when you were 6 years old, put it aside for later, because if you start looking at it , you won't let it go and later you will realize that you didn't finish what you started and it's the end of the day.

Tip #5 - Freshen up the room

When you are done with that hard work, light up some candles or open the window(s) in the room. It will make you room smell nice and fresh.

Tip #6 - Keep it clean

This is the last and final tip. Try to keep your room clean, so you won't have to tidy up your room two times a week because it's too messy.

First snow

Hey guys! When I woke up this morning and I looked outside the window there was a beautiful white coat of snow on the ground. It made me feel happy. The first snow is always magical. Even my dog was happy, he was sniffing around the snow. Usually when there is alot more snow, about half a meter he will start eating it. Where I live there is no such thing as having a winter without having 2 meters of snow in your backyard. Anyway, I am really excited because the first snow means that Christmas is just around the corner. I actually wanted to take some pictures of the first snow but I had to go to school and when I got back it was dark outside. :( I will take some pictures when I will have the opportunity.

Have a beautiful day!

Blog update

Hey guys! In this really short post I want to tell you a few things about the blog. 

First things first. I just added a translate gadget, so that more people have the opportunity to read my blog in different languages. And I just wanted to apologize about the fact that I don't write as much as before, but I have a good reason and this reason is school. I will try my best to post but I won't make any promises that I will post weekly, but one thing is for sure I won't stop blogging. I have a few post ideas for the future! 

♥ Have a wonderful day ♥

Red Velvet Cookies

                       

Hey guys! I just tried a new recipe and I love it. I have never made red velvet cookies but they turned out pretty good. So I wanted to share the recipe with you. By the way I took this recipe from a cooking app named Yummly and the woman that shared this recipe on the app is Holly Lofthouse (click here to see her blog). So here is the recipe.

Preparation time: 40 minutes

Cooking time: 8-9 minutes per tray

Servings: On the blog it says 36 servings but I actually had 60. Oups!

Ingredients:

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

2 1/2 tablespoons cocoa powder 

1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch 

3/4 teaspoon baking soda 

1/2 teaspoon salt 

7 tablespoons butter, at room temperature 

6 tablespoons vegetable shortening, at room temperature 

1 1/2 cups granulated sugar 

1 large egg

1 large egg yolk 

1 teaspoon white vinegar 

1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract 

1 tablespoon vanilla extract 

1 tablespoon red food coloring 

1 1/3 cups white chocolate chips

Directions:

1- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F ( 190  degrees C ). In a medium bowl, mix together the flour,cocoa powder,cornstarch,baking soda and salt. Set aside.

2-Add butter,vegetable shortening and sugar to the bowl. Mix with an electric mixer on medium speed until very fluffy,for about 3 or so minutes. Add egg, egg yolk and mix until combined. Then add vinegar,vanilla and food coloring. Mix until well blended.

3- Slowly add dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Stir in 1/2 cup of white chocolate chips. Scoop dough out by the heaping Tablespoonful, and roll into balls. Place them on a parchment lined baking sheet. Gently press about 4-5 more white chocolate chips into the top of each cookie ball (I didn't do this part because mine were a little bit too small). Being careful not to flatten the cookie balls.

4- Bake cookies for 8-9 minutes. Allow cookies to cool for a few minutes. And enjoy!

Book review - Counting by 7s

Hey guys! I read this amazing book and I wanted to share it with you guys. I read it in french because it's easier for me. So the book is titled Counting by 7's. I really recommend it, because it shows how life is, with all the problems and beautiful things. I give it a 4,5/ 5. Because it's easy to read and it's an amazing story. I gave it a 4,5/5 and not a 5/5 because it's not my favourite book that I read so far. 

http://www.amazon.com/Counting-7s-Holly-Sloan/dp/014242286X

Summary: Williw Chance, a 12 year old girl, has problems to make friends because she doesn't think like everyone and she doesn't do the things that normal people do. But then she needs to go to college! Her life collapses when both her parents die...

What book do you love?

One Direction - On the road again

Hey guys! So I am a big fan of 1D , it's my favourite group! 8 months ago my parents bought a pair of tickets, I was so excited! I couldn't wait to go to the show! The months flew by and a couple of days ago I was singing all the lyrics that I knew with one direction. The show was amazing. At the beginning there was Icona Pop that performed! I didn't know about this group before. The group was so into it. Then 1D came and thats were every single person that came was deaf! Haahahah :D Harry Styles was so funny when he was talking about the 10 things that he loved about Canada, and I am not surprised that he loves poutine (the specialty Canadian fast food) and syrup. Niall had a fractured toe :( Liam  was really funny and Louis was Louis. hahahaha That's what I love about 1D, they are always having fun and are never serious, in other words, they enjoy life as it is. So here are a few pictures.

  What is your favourite singer or group?
