Q&A Part Twooooo


We are backkkkkkk peoplesssss! I know you have missed me since the fatal day I last posted. Even if it was only a week ago (I know y'all love me you can't say anything lol). Sooooo if you missed it last week I posted the first part of my Q&A!  I asked y'all to send me questions on Instagram and you guys being amazing of course delivered! If you did not see your question answered last time stay tuned because today it definitely will! Also yes I do use to many exclamation marks, I know this. I blame Instagram and social media in general. Also my friends, both irl and online. They're just too cool and making me too happy it's hard not to be excited all the time??? You know??? As you can tell Nabila's feeling funny today. Also a bit weird but it's ok you know??
-What do you like to do on snow days?
I've only had a snow day once or twice but when I did get snow recently it made me so so happy! That time I freaked out and put on all of the cold clothing I could find in my room which admittingly isn't that much. Then I had a snow ball fight with my friend while laughing the whole time and made a mini snowman.

-Where would you most like to travel?
Either London, Egypt, or New York! I can't decide between them at all. London because it sounds so amazing and the amount of blog posts I've read on that place is so much oh my gosh. It almost seems like I have the same amount of blogger friends that live in London then live in all of the United States. Egypt because I'm half Egyptian and also because it has some of the most interesting history being the first developed civilization and all. :) New York because really who doesn't want to go to New York?


-What is your goal for the end of the year?
I'm not sure exactly what you mean haha. For my blog 180 Bloglovin' followers and 1,400 email subscribers. For Instagram it would mean a lot to me to have at least 1,200 by the end of the year. Youtube wise I would love 100 subscribers. 

-Are there any hobbies that you want to pursue in the future?
Number one blogging and just social media in general!! It gives me so so much joy and although I'm not the best it would be the coolest thing to get to be able to pursue in the future for jobs and things. 

-Why did you start your blog?
I had a friend who had a blog and I thought it was so so crazy cool! Plus I thought my friend was the coolest person (I still uphold this belief) so I was like, "Wellllllll if she's doing it, I must be this cool as well!" Sooooo I asked my parents and they agreed. More on the why side I think because I thought it was so cool, a good way to meet new people, and also just somewhere to put my creativity because I didn't feel very comfortable in most other creative settings. :)


-If you didn’t have a blog what would you be doing?
Probably laying on my couch complaining about being bored and convincing my mom to let me watch tv. I was actually thinking the other day how so many of my friends complain about being bored. While I'm never really bored??? And that is because of my blog and things like Instagram. 

-What was the scariest moment of your life?
Starting off strong then Anna haha. I don't get scared that easily and I've found that in crazy and scary moments of my life I just get kind of calm. But if I had to pick one definitely Harvey. Flooding and having to evacuate and just everything was crazyyyyy. I had no idea what was happening and how my stuff was and how my friends were or where anyone was or what we were doing next.


-If you could eat only 1 thing for the rest of your life what would it be?
 Ahhhhh! This is kind of cheating because it's more of a food group but I'm going to say salad. It's super healthy so unlike if I chose something like chocolate I wouldn't die, and there are so many different variations! 

-What’s your favorite food?
Probably sushi! It's one of my absolute favorite things! It's pretty healthy and unlike a hamburger it actually makes me feel good and not bloated which is always helpful.


-What High school do you want to go to?
There are so many different high schools I want to go too!! There are a lot of high schools around where I live. I'll probably just going to end up going to the school I'm zoned to though because it's a good school and close. 


-What’s your favorite thing about blogging?
One hundred percent the people and just amazing human beings I have been able to meet. Yes you guys. The community I am surrounded by on a daily basis online will always always give me joy. I have met some of the coolest people on here ever and people I am so so so honored to know. Whenever y'all comment on my posts it just makes my heart happy. By the way y'all have been commenting less on here and it kind of bums me out so don't be a ghost. Commmmmentttt.  

@dearrachel16
-Are you an introvert or an extrovert?
One hundred percent a total and absolute extrovert. If you were to look up extrovert in the dictionary my beautiful face would be right there. I get absolutely all of my energy from being with people. I've had numerous days where I'm having an absolutely amazing day and then I get home and on my computer or phone which makes me happy but sometimes I can just feel myself deflating? Does that make sense? Kind of???


I hope y'all loved that!! I really like Q&A's as I think they let me be more personal and is a good way for you guys to find out more about me. :) Alsooooo incase you missed my insta post on it I'm doing an instagram hiatus for a bit so that's why I'm not posting on there. :)

What kind of posts do you want to see on my blog? If you could eat only one thing for the rest of your life what would it be? Where do you want to travel? Do you have a blog?

Q&A Including What Inspires Me, Instagram Tips, And What I Want To be When I Grow Up


A bit ago I asked y'all to send me some fun questions over on my Instagram! I thought it would be so
fun and also perfect if there are any new people who want to get to know me a bit better! You guys
being your amazing selves did not disappoint and I got some awesome questions!! I got so many
awesome questions in fact I'm going to be splitting this up into two parts. Today is part one and
next week you can check back in for part two! I hope you guys like this post and
shameless self promo but if you do like my blog and haven't already followed than I would absolutely
love love love if you could!! Ok lets get started. :)

How long have you been blogging?
I have officially been blogging for 4 years now!! And I'm 13 so that's a little under a 4th of my life. Wow. The first two years were a bit on and off BUT STILL IT COUNTS OK DON'T QUESTION ME.

What inspires you?
The people and the world around me!! If you just look around and truly be aware of the world and people around you will be absolutely amazed at the things that you can see and get ideas from.


What are your tips on growing a lager Instagram following and having active followers?
Post consistently! I try to post every other day and I think its working. Number two hashtags are something that is easy and will grow your following so so much!! Use them. I promise you its worth it. Regarding having an active following you need to be active with them. Follow the people who follow you and like and comment genuine things on there posts. But seriously I know almost nothing about Instagram and I am always always trying to learn. :) :)


What career do you want when you grow up?
I don't know! I do know thought that I want to do something that has to do with people and also writing and photography so maybe pr or journalism.

If you could live anywhere else than you do right now... where would you live?
Currently I live in Houston and I love it here but if not here than either London, New York, or somewhere in California. As you can tell I love big cities. :)


Would you rather be a famous singer or a famous dancer?
Definitely singer! I love dancing but I have absolutely no talent for it. I feel like if I was a singer the chance of falling on my face might me just a bit less.

Would you rather be able to rewind time or go into the future?
I feel like both of those would be quite risky and have a high chance of me messing something up haha. I feel like I would try to spy on my parents if I went back in time and then I would make them never meet so never have be so basically killing myself and my siblings.

I always want to be a marine biologist or an astrologist,
What about you ?
Honestly neither of those things interest me at all haha. 

How did purple become your favorite color?
If you have been reading my blog for a while you might know that hot pink actually used to be my favorite color. I think around 5th grade I kind of grew out of the pink. I absolutely love purple because it's strong, girly, elegant, and both soothing and bold at the same time. Plus purple is my school color so it's pretty coolio.

How long have you had your Instagram account for?
October 7th, 2017! That means it has been about 7 months. That is actually so crazy. I can't believe it's been that long! 

I hoped you enjoyed that and if you did make sure to check back next week for part twoooooo. All of the peeps that asked questions I have linked to and they are all so cool so make sure to check them out! Comment down below your answers!

Art Car Parade!


I go to the art car parade every year and this year was no exception! Sooo on the fateful day of *tries to remember day* ummmmm April 15 at around 1ish we packed up our stuff and drove to downtown!


I also did a vlog for it so check that out if you want and make sure to subscribe to my channel. :)


There were just like a bunch of cameras on this one which I found cool. 


It's a traiiiinnnnn.


Ok so right near us was this British family and they all talked in the accent. There was this one little kid and he came up to me and talked to me AND OH MY GOSH THE CUTENESS


Cool rey costume.


People really like star wars haha. 


It's the mystery machine! I liked this one because the people on it seemed so happy and they were blasting music. 


I didn't exactly get this one but they were hitting the bar things and making this cool music which I thought was cool. 



The library had one!! They have never had one before and I loved it so much!! There were a bunch of books covers plastered on it with create and explore on the sides.


One of my favorite ones. 


It's a zebra princess. She commands all of the zebra people. 


The radio station I was on!


They had a bunch of these low rider cars and they went up and down which looked really cool.



I didn't really get this one but I'm pretty sure it was about how we're killing the planet and climate change and everything.


It's like a fountain and the water comes out in tune with music. I saw a house around Christmas that did the same thing and I'm obsessed with the idea!


A peackockkkkk. 


The roller derby peeps! If anyone remembers my mom actually used to do roller derby. Yes I know my mom is cooler than yours you don't have to tell me.  


Ok so before the parade started my dad and I were walking around and I noticed this car type thing and mentioned how the person who was driving it looked so cool. I think my exact words were like "I love her hair," because the person had this fun wig on. And my dad responded saying how I couldn't know if it was a boy or girl and I just laughed and we moved on. As we were walking back to where we were sitting I looked at the person and and noticed he had a beard and I realized he actually was a guy and we laughed. 


This guy was doing cool tricks and going up and stuff but I he looked like he was going to fall backwards every time and it kind of freaked me out. 


Rainbow yo


It's a big flying monster


I'm going to blow your mind but this one was actually made my an elementary that some of my friends went to!


The people on top were old guys and they had paint on there face and were just rocking out to these songs and it was quite awesome. 


March for our lives and moms demand action float!


I like this pic because it just seems so cool but the actual car is a plus as well. 


The real life bat mobile! 


It's the one eyed, one horned, flying purple people eater. If you get this you get extra points. 


Doesn't that just look so cool??


A cool one thanking all the peeps who helped during harvey. Fun fact the thing that we evacuated on looked a bit like that except bigger. 


Have you ever been to a parade? Was it awesome? Which car was your favorite? What kind of posts do you want to see from me next?
