The Literary Dinner Party Tag!


I GOT 100 FOLLOWERS Y'ALL THANK YOU. I'm excited so yeah. :) :) :) ALSO HAPPY MLK DAYS. And now to the actual post. I was tagged to do this post a while ago by the wonderful Sunny! I just recently discovered her blog I'm pretty sure on Instagram. It's very cool and everyone should go check her out! So the Literary Dinner Party Tag is a book themed tag kind of like this one that I did a little bit ago. In this tag you are supposed to to invite ten book character from ten categories to a dinner party.

Categories:

1. One character who can cook/likes to cook
2. One character who has money to fund the party 
3. One character who might cause a scene
4. One character who is funny/amusing 
5. One character who is super social/popular
6. One villain 
7. One couple - doesn't have to be romantic 
8. One hero/heroine 
9. One underappreciated character 
10. One character of your own choosing 

1. One character who can cook/likes to cook

Mrs. Weasley! She is one of those characters I love just because she is so sweet and I feel like she would see me burning the oven or something and then she would come and swoop in and make a big feast while I just sat to the side talking about all of my problems. Why that sounds appealing to me I'm not quite sure.

2. One character who has money to fund the party 

A rich character. Hmmm.... I just recently read the whole selection series (it is one of those series that is so cheesy but I also love it) so I think I would choose Princess Eadlyn. She is a princess and super rich but she is also this super strong and smart and awesome figure who I would love to be able to talk to and just be friends with. Also being in the presence of royalty is always pretty awesome.

3. One character who might cause a scene

Leo from Percy Jackson and The Heroes of Olympus. Leo is such a cool character but he's also not the most athletic and kind of clumsy and when you combine that with a dragon and fire powers things can get pretty hectic. I feel like maybe one of his inventions would go crazy or his power would just be randomly put on or something like that.

4. One character who is funny/amusing

Luna Lovegood from Harry Potter! She is such a fun and crazy and just I'm going to be myself character that it is super awesome. I love how quirky she is and I feel like she would be super fun at a dinner party. Plus if anything was getting too serious she would do something crazy or funny or just awesome and make everyone laugh and smile again. 

5. One character who is super social/popular

She isn't necessarily the most popular person ever BUT NO ONE MAKES BOOKS ABOUT POPULAR PEOPLE SO GET OVER IT. I would choose Lina from Love And Gelato. I just recently read the book and at first I thought it was to cheesy and then I realized that I actually loved cheesy things and that it's a fabulous book everyone should go read. In the book Lina moves to Italy where she knows no one and it's all about love and stuff but throughout the book she makes friends and it's fun. 

6. One villain

President Snow from The Hunger Games! I love the hunger games of course and it's so fun to watch how snow manipulates everyone and how katniss reacts. Does that sound bad? I don't know. I feel like he's very intellectual and smart and it would be interesting to get inside his mind and just figure out how he thinks. Does that make any sense whatsoever?

7. One couple - doesn't have to be romantic 

Cinder and Kai from cinder! There relationship is so interesting in the books and it's so cool to see how they slowly fall for each other. Ok so I have to admit that I have actually only read the first book but I really want to read the rest of the series and since the wonderful Kate sent me a copy of the second book I am one hundred percent going to read it soon. By the way kate is like one of the coolest human beings and everyone should go get her book (which she also sent me and you might have noticed it in the pictures) because IT IS FABULOUS.

8. One hero/heroine 

Hermione! I love her character so much and I just think it would be the coolest thing to get to talk and hang out with her. In the harry potter series if she wasn't there then Ron and Harry would already be dead and we all know it. I'm just saying.

9. One underappreciated character 

Melody from Out Of My Mind! She's not underappreciated as a character but in the book she certainly is. If you haven't read the book melody was born cerebral palsy which makes her unable to talk or walk or generally move that much and she has to use a wheelchair. As you would guess this makes a lot of people treat her differently and no one realizes just how crazy smart she is.

10. One character of your own choosing

Maddie from When which is by the way an awesome book. I could not think of anyone for this and then I remembered this book and I was like WHY NOT. In the book maddie can see when people die from a little number on top of there head. Yes I know that sounds super morbid and and weird and it is. No I don't want to know when I will die but I think it would be cool to just watch her and see how she reacts with others. Is that too creepy? Yeah? OK. 


I Tag:

*drum roll*

drum GIF

-All of the peeps from twirling pages 
-Anna from annaish
-Cait from paperfury
-Noor from bookmarked 
-Isabel from little miss wizzy
-Abbie from Abbiee

That took me like way to long to write you guys. Like that was not good. I'm really bad at tags like this mostly because I HAVE THE WORST MEMORY IN EXISTENCE and I can basically never think of anything. It was super fun though as I always love a good tag. :) Also I recently started the account @girlbossteentribexo with Kristina and Taiya! We feature teen bloggers, youtubers and entrepreneurs so if you have instagram make sure to follow us! We also have a website! Our first post comes up today! I am going to be posting there once a month with tip and tricks for bloggers and youtubers! Make sure to check it out and given it a follow as it means a lot to me!

 Who would you invite to a dinner party? Do you agree/disagree with any of my choices? Do you like when I do tags on my blog? Should I keep doing tags? What is your advice for taking better book photos? Have you followed Girl Boss Teen Tribe yet????? What do you want to see more of on my blog?

Everyone Has A Story



I sit with my friend
I've known her for a while but this is the first time we've ever really hung out
She tells me about her family
How she lives with her mom
How her dad died when she was 1
She seems almost at peace with the fact

I'm talking to a blogger friend online
She's complaining about her parents
Yeah parents are annoying I reply
Then she mentions how the house smells like weed
And how her mom is probably smoking again
A year later
Her dads in jail
And her mom is no where to be found 

I sit and stare off into the distance
I'm bored
And looking at old pictures
I find one of me and my old friend
I was mostly friends with her because our dads were friends
But we saw each other quite a bit
So we were close
I remember how suddenly they just moved away
Turns out the parents had gotten divorced
And the dad had lost custody

I'm a pretty lucky human being in the grand schemes of things
I have all of my parents and siblings
Grandparents to
Not rich but middle class
In a nice neighborhood
With friends pretty much the same
Stories like that to me are almost just for movies and songs
But there real


Everyone has a story
Remember that


So that was a lot. I don't even know if this post had a point but its okay because I had fun writing it. If you like my occasional Thursday writy posts then comment down below! I'm not sure if you like them or not. :) Make sure that you are following both my Instagram and Bloglovin' as well!

14 Easy Ways To Make Money As A Teen



Hellllllllooooo. It is Nabila here back with another post. :) So I know all kids/teens have this problem. We need money to do/get things like:

-clothes
-concert
-restaurant with friends
-starbucks
-decor things
-cute stationary
-presents for other people

Pretty much just in general life it's quite nice to have money. The problem though is that until you hit 16 (I think that's the rule in most places not really sure) you can't apply for an actual job which is the main way people earn money. Buuuuttt do not despair in today's post I'm going to list some fun and easy ways (14 to be precise) to make money! This is mainly geared towards ages 8 to around 15 but will definitely also work for older peeps. Let's. Get. Started!



1. Chores

I know that personally my parents don't pay me to do chores but lots of parents do. If you don't currently have chores first of all I'm totally jealous but second any parent I'm pretty sure would be happy to give there kids chores around the house for a reasonable fee. 

2. Clean someone elses house

If your well respected in your neighborhood and have some people you know then cleaning is a good way to make money. Cleaning services can cost quite a lot but almost everyone cares about cleanliness and having a helper for a low price is pretty appealing for lots of people.

3. Help an adult with technology things

You know how teens and kids usually know more stuff about technology then adults? Yeah you can easily use that to your advantage. Maybe just give a class or something for your family members or maybe if someone you know has a business or company offer to be a social media manager (I do this for my mom). 



4. Babysit

Yes yes yes this is cliche but it's a good way to make money. If you have family members or friends/acquaintances with young children than babysitting is perfect. You can babysit on nights and weekends and in the summer. I would recommend this to anyone who likes little kids (aka me if any of you guys know me on real life and live in Houston and need someone to babysit feel free to contact me). 

5. House sit/water plants

If your neighbors/friends ever goes out of town and need someone to watch there house this is perfect. Watering plants isn't hard and doesn't take that much time.



6. Pet sit

If you love animals then pet sitting is perfect. If you know someone who's going out of town or even just going to be gone for a day offer to petsit. Depending on the pet though it might be a bit hard as lost of pets need constant care. 

7. Dog walker

Pretty much an easier version of pet sitting. Lots of people who have dogs but maybe don't have time to walk there dogs would love someone to do it for them and this could become a multiple times a week job that can definitely pile up over time. 



8. Social media

Teens are at the center of everything new and cool and awesome and most of that happens on social media. Like the time I spend on Instagram a day is probably not healthy. Haha. Why don't we try to put all of that time to good use? There are lots of ways to make a profit on social media from brand sponsorship to just plain ads to everything else. Reach out to a company and don't be afraid to talk to people. It helps. :)

9. Blogging 

Ok so I don't personally make money from blogging but I definitely want to. It's kind of taboo and some people thing making money off of things like blogging and social media is bad but I personally find that stupid. Yeah blogging should be for fun but making some money off of it definitely doesn't make it not fun. Like some peoples whole jobs is just to be a blogger. I find that incredibly cool.  Soooo if your already a blogger then look up how to make money as a blogger. There are so many ways from affiliate to brand things to so much more. If your not already a blogger you should totally start one! I am always open to helping people start blogs so definitely reach out to me!

10. Car wash
Most adults (or other teens for that matter) want there car clean so you can make some actual money from this. Pllllluuuusss it can be fun with friends. If you have someone you know offer to wash there car or maybe set up a thing near your house.

11. Lemonade stand

This is also super cliche but it one hundred percent works and can also be fun with friends. If you want to be all fancy you can use actual lemons but you can easily just get the powder stuff and make a whole container of it. Then you really just need a table and a chair and your pretty much set.



12. Online shop

I know so many bloggers who have things like etsy shops or just shops on there blogs. They sell things like bookmarks, blog designs, shirts, and everything else. If your crafty then an etsy shop is perfect as you can make cool stuff and make money on it and just feel generally awesome BECAUSE YOU HAVE A SHOP WHICH IS COOL. 

13. Fiverr

So I found this site a little while ago and actually it's pretty cool. Pretty much it's a site where you can sign up and offer a service for $5+. You can do anything from graphic design, drawing, or writing. I haven't used it but I've looked into it and it overall seems like a good way to use your hobbies to get money. :)

14. Tutoring

If your good at a certain subject at school and have some extra time on your hands then tutoring is perfect. There are lots of parents who would love someone to tutor there kids and this is even better if your known to be smart. Some schools have tutoring program things you can sign up for but there are also lots of websites online and probably neighbors in your area. 

Oh and I'm totally willing to do any of these things and I'm broke so if you like know me in real life feel free to come talk to me or message me or any of those things. I need money OK. DO NOT JUDGE ME. Haha. Annnnnnyyyywwwwayyyyy make sure to follow me on bloglovin' and Instagram if you haven't already! Also I recently actually started using my goodreads so I would love to see you guys on there as well. :)
