MY BLOG IS TURING FIVE AND I'M FREAKING OUT SO WE'RE GOING TO CELEBRATE AND I'M GOING TO GIVE SOME SHOUTOUTS TO SOME COOL PEOPLE

So ummm???? My blog is turning five??? On the 11th?? And I'm so confused??? How is that even possible?? Five years is such a long time for me. Five year olds can walk. And talk. And eat. My little baby is growing up and bro I'm so confused??? I have nooooo idea how I could have had this little space for that long. I remember when I first started my blog. And when I changed the name. And when I got insta. And when I did my first blogger collaboration. And when I did my first brand collab. And when I really started doing youtube.

Blogging gives me so so so much joy. It has given me so many friends and opportunities and just confidence that I wouldn't have otherwise. My life has been pretty stressful with school lately and some things have been getting me down. I can always come back to blogging though and this amazing community. I love y'all so so so much and I hope you guys know that. :) If you don't already know to celebrate this occasion I'm going to try to do a bunch of collabs this month! I already have a couple lined up but if you want to collaborate please email me at nabileve@gmail!! I would love to work with you! For this post to start off the month I thought it would be fun to list some peeps I love and that have super duper helped me in my blogging journey. :)

One side note before we get started though, my schedule is going to be super off this month! Sorry y'all!

Lexie- Lexie was one of the first bloggers I ever found and she's so cool!! She's one of the only bloggers that I've known from the beginning who has actually kept up a consistent blog. She's super sweet and I'm happy I get to call her my friend. :)

Abbie-  Abbie is one of the coolest peeps ever. I absolutely  love her blog and her positivity and her music and just everything about her pretty much haha.

Kenzie- If you don't know this cutie you are missing out. I did a collab with her a couple weeks ago and I'm kind of obsessed with her. She regularly comments on my blog which always makes me happy and I've screamed at her about books and she somehow still doesn't hate me and even joins in so like, that sounds like a great human to me. 

Kristian- I met Kristian on insta and she's a super coolio blogger friend of mind. I've been talking to her a bit less lately which makes me sad but she's still super duper cool and also a really good writer?? Like she's really good?? 

Dani- Another old friend who is actually still posting!! There was one summer where I talked to Dani like every day and it was great. I found Dani when she was a little baby blogger and I like to think I maybe helped her a tiny bit haha. 

Mckenzie- I talked with Mckenzie at the same time I was close with Dani. At that time though we called them Issy and pronouns have changed multiple times it's like a whole thing haha. We all had a group chat and we talked like a lotttttt. Lots of memes and laughs and blogging talk. 

Rukiya and Noor- These are two separate people but they kind of have the same experience with me so I'm putting them together haha. Basically when I first found young bloggers it was Rukiya, Noor, and Lexie. I looked up to them a lottttttt and after some time and me being the little annoying person I am they actually started talking to me. Like what???? I know it's weird. So yeah we were friends and we talked regularly online. Noor was like low key a god in the little blogger community I was in and I thought she was so cool and all of this cool stuff went on. Then they just kind of evaporated from the face of the earth?? And it makes me sad?? Like old blogger friends please come back???  

Gray Marie- This girly regularly comments on my blog which is soooo great because not that many people comment???? Like I'm happy for all of my followers and I do get comments which I'm grateful for but I might like the people who comment a tiny bit more. Just a tiny bit. She also has an awesome cute blog that I love reading and just her general aura is so fun. 

Andrea- Andrea also comments on my blog (do you see I like people who comment??) and I love her blog. Plus she's supes funny. I was just reading the titles of her blog when I was thinking of what to say and they're so funny???? How can I make my blog posts funny?? Give me tips??? Cause I'm bad at that??? 

Lanie- UPDATE ON MY LIFE I HAVE OFFICIALLY SEEN LOVE SIMON AND LANIE IS THE ONE WHO MADE THAT HAPPEN SO LIKE SHE'S GREAT. We did a little screenshare thing cause she has the movie (may or may not have been illegal but it's fine) and I squealed like the entire time?? Probs not good?? Might have made Lanie scared because I make noise a lot?? But it's fine?? 

Vanessa- I've known Vanessa for a while actually and then I think she disappeared and came back??? Maybe??? I'm like not actually sure??? ANYWAY THOUGH she is so crazy nice and sweet and just ahhh I love her. Recently she sent me this random letter that made my day and it had some tea and was just awesome. If you ever want to make me happy just send me a random letter. I am so cool with it. 

Ann- I recently found Ann but she is so nice!! And she comments on my blog like a lot and as we have established that is the way to my heart. 

Rosie- I said this in the interview I did with her but I just think Rosie is so cool!! She comments on my blog, has a freaking amazing and so professional blog herself, and just also seems to put out coolness into the world?? I don't know??? 

Abigail- I've known abigail since the beginning era so that's like two years or something. Oh my gosh that's so weird!! She just recently started college (all of my blogging friends are leaving me for college like why must they turn into adults I don't approve) and that is so weird to me!!!! Like she was just starting high school or something!! What?? I absolutely love her posts and her writing and everything is just so good. We recently sent letters to each others and hers was supes cute and yeah Abigail is just cool. 

Olivia- Olivia is almost more of an insta friend then a blogging friend but she does have an awesome blog!! I found her on insta when I started and I love everything she puts out into the world!! Her outfits are amazing, she sometimes talks about political stuff, and she is also just soooo positive which I love so so much.    

That took me so long to write like y'all better appreciate this. If you are not on this list but also read my blog or we're friends or we just know each other somehow YOU ARE STILL SO COOL LIKE SHOUT OUT TO YOU FOR SUPPORTING THE LITTLE CRAZY HUMAN THAT I AM. I said this earlier but my blog makes me so happy and it is because of you guys. :)

11 Fun And Easy Things To Do With Friends

I'm doing another friend post! Why? I'm not exactly sure. Just go with it. So at least for me even if I am with a friend that I love and is super cool sometimes we get bored and just run out of ideas of what to do. This might be because I am awkward and most of my friends are awkward or maybe because I have absolutely no imagination whatsoever. But I know it is not all that and sometimes you when you are with a friend/friends you might have no idea what to do. I am here to fix that *I say in this heroic knightly voice*. Haha. In this post, I am going to list 11 Fun And Easy Things To Do With Friends. Let's get started!

Also like a side note, these are more for teens and tweens but if you are younger and older you can do these things as well.

Have a little photoshoot 

I do this with my friends sometimes when they let me and I definitely love having a photoshoot. It doesn't really matter if I am the one taking the photos or the one being taking photos of. You could put one some cute outfits and have fun. Maybe find a cute background in your house or some place near you. Then if you get some cute pictures you could post a couple on social media like Instagram. 

Make friendship bracelets

This is kind of old fashioned but it is still super fun no matter what age you are. I kind of love making bracelets out of beads or string and braiding it and all of that kind of stuff. The materials you would need are easy to find and always cheap. 

Play a two person game online

There are a bunch of two+ people games online that are super fun. A couple weeks ago at school, there was no teacher and so we got to play on the computers the whole time (It was quite awesome) and me and three of my friends just played a bunch of games. Games like Fireboy and Watergirl or g-switch are always super fun. 

Have a movie marathon 

Because there is never not a reason to not have a movie marathon (and yes I do realize there were three negatives in that sentence). If there is a common movie interest then you can either buy the movies, see if there is a marathon on actual tv, get them from the library, rent them, or see if the movies are on Netflix or Hulu or HBO or something like that. Then just watch them. You can maybe add some popcorn and it will be a super fun and easy thing to do with a friend or two. 

Play or board game or card game

I sound so old I know but I love board games and card games and I play them with my friends a lot when we can't use electronics. Maybe monopoly or some other game. My dad taught me and my siblings a card game called spoons (it sound weird I know but it is really fun) and I then taught some of my friends and we played that for like a whole hour the other day. Also, Munchkin which is loosely based off of D and D is a super fun game that like everyone should own. I played it with one of my friends like 3 years ago and then I went home and immediately told my dad we needed it and to my surprise he actually got it. 

Play some video games 

If you have a Wii or an Xbox or a PlayStation or something like that then it is a perfect thing to do with friends. My family owns an Xbox 360 and I kind of love that thing (although I haven't played on it that much recently). So find a game and then you can compete against each other and there can be prizes and everything. 

Bike around the neighborhood 

If you and your friend/friends own bikes then you guys can say to bring bikes to wherever you are meeting and then just ride around, You could go somewhere on your bikes and then feel awesome about it because you exercised and also didn't pollute the environment by using a car. I love riding bikes with my friends. 

Make a fun but easy dessert

Cooking with friends is totally a thing ok. Pick out a recipe online and see if you have the ingredients and then create. If you both like cooking then this is an enjoyable activity and you get amazing delicious at the end. Like what is not like????

Go out and get some ice-cream

I am thinking about food right now ok. Don't judge me. Ice-cream is amazing any time of the year but especially in the summer. Ice-cream is by far my favorite dessert because of its AWESOMENESS. A super fun thing you can do with a friend is going to an ice-cream shop near you and having fun and eat ice-cream because fun and ice cream always go together. Fun fact my favorite flavor is cookies and cream.

Paint your nails

Doing your own nails is hard and having a friend do them for you is a million times easier (at least for me). You can have a little spa day and paint each other's nails. This is also a perfect time to talk and laugh and just have a nice time. Plus you get your nails painted so that is a cool bonus. 

Just talk

You didn't think I would include that in this list I bet. But seriously the easiest and funnest thing to do with a friend is just talking to each other. Ask each other about the other person's lives and hang out. Maybe get some soda or a cool drink and talk about everything and nothing at the same time. Sound pretty fun to me. :)

And that is it for now! In the comments down below comment what you like to do with your friends and also any posts you would like me to do (I always appreciate feedback).  

The Steps Of Becoming Friends With Someone

Do you want to know how people make friends? Do you want to laugh at how hard I try to be funny sometimes and then fail? Do you want to read some stuff related to friends? Well then you have come to the right place. :)

Hello peoples! I'm Nabila and if you haven't followed my blog yet that would be cool. You know. If you wanted. So I have done stuff on friends (aka here, here, and here) and I liked doing that so why not doing another post centered around friendship? In this post I am going to be explaining the average steps one takes to become friends with another individual.

You find out the other person is alive 

Maybe through another friend or you just see them in school. You don't find the person that repulsing and you think they are at least semi cool. A little bit. The clothes look pretty good and the person has a reputation as being nice. 

You decide you want to be friends with friends

Then you are like "well you know this person is actually super cool. And the person as has the same interests. Ok I would love to be friends with this person. But how?? That is the question"

You think about how to become friends with the person 

*Note some people may skip this step if they are super outgoing. Not very common. 

So now you must figure how to become friends with the person. Ask them if they want to hang out. Team up with them at school. And then of course there are always the thoughts like "well wait what if the person doesn't want to be friends with me?" And also the dreaded the thought "what if I'm not cool enough?"

You finally talk to the person 

No more waiting. It is now time for action. It is time for the day we have all been waiting for. In reality though you probably go up to the person and say hi and they say hi back. Not all that exciting and actually kind of disappointing.

You make a plan

After the latest disappointment you have to have a plan. A plan that will blow all of the other plans out of the water. You could a) invite them to party or some social event b) you ask them to help you with something or c) you change seats and sit next to them in class.

You carry out the plan

You decide that inviting them to something is to much to soon so instead you sit with them/near them during class. It for some reason goes surprisingly well and you guys talk and at the end you somehow get the persons number.

You feel really good about yourself

You just basically almost became friends with someone so now you feel really happy and accomplished. You think about how awesome your social skills are. But then you realize that to be friends with someone you must keep up the whole being friends thing. 

You think about how to keep up the whole friend thing

Now that you are kind of friends you need to become official friends by actually spending time with each other. How to do that though is kind of hard.

You do some stuff

You text the person if they want to meet somewhere and then you guys go do something and then other stuff happens and then you are happy because you have made a new friend.  

And that is all for now! So. Did you like the post???? I had fun making it. Also a side this is not really that realistic and every friendship starts in different ways. Comment down below if I should do more "stages of" posts and also a cool way you became friends with someone. :)

A Spring Park Photo-Shoot During the Fall // Gold Chain Necklace, Bright Floral Dress, Black Slippers

A couple days ago me and my friend had a super fun photo-shoot at the park. If you haven't guessed already I took pictures of her. Personally I think my friend is very beautiful and the pictures turned out really well. Here they are!

She is a ballerina. 

Starring at the sky. 

Being a rebel and sitting on top of the table. 

No she is standing in the middle of the rode!! Haha. 

Isn't her necklace cute? I love it. 

She really just had to pet the dog. 

Maybe she fell. 

You are never to old to go down a slide. 

Go posing!

I literally just screamed stop at her and she stopped in the pose. 

The lighting in this one. Like wow. 

I love this so much!

Hello miss innocent. 

I think she is excited or something. 

Hanging from the tree. 

#ClimbLikeAGirl

Ok I couldn't go a whole photo-shoot without taking a picture of me. That is my hand by the way. 

#Girl Power

Did you like the photos? Which one was your favroite? Do you have any tips for me on how I can take better photos?
