5 Things That Make Me really REALLY Happy

There is something about colorful abstractish paintings that makes me really happy. I love how the artist can see one thing but the viewer can see something totally different. I think that this style of painting offers more creative expression and says what words can't.

I have been playing the piano for 12 years now and I absolutely adore it. It is the one thing that I feel like I can do and make other people happy. Eventually, I want to go to a music school after I graduate high school.

Vintage Dresses!! I don't know why but I absolutely LOVE vintage dresses. I love the classy look and with a lot of dresses that are trending now, you don't get that vibe. I love these tea length rockability style dresses because they are cute and fun without being too revealing.

ANYTHING rainbow. To me, rainbows are a sign of renewal and rebirth. They are a sign of cleansing and new starts. They are also colorful and me + color = total happiness

This show is hands down my favorite show EVER!! I like it because it is so easy to watch. There is no language, and it is totally appropriate for any age. AND it's interesting, which is definately a bonus

What I've Been Up To

Hello Internet!!! As you may have noticed, I haven't been posting on this site as regularly as I would like to. These past few weeks have been totally INSANE!! On Saturday, my friend's sister threw him a surprise party and I was given the task of keeping him busy all day which took a lot of time and planning. He ended up being very surprised so in the end, all of my effort paid off. (If you are reading this Cory, Happy Birthday next Friday) I have also been trying to get ready for the school year to start. I start my college classes on Monday the 22nd of August which is a week from today. My high school classes don't start until Wednesday though which is super nice. My schedule is a bit insane this year because I am taking classes from Utah Valley University along with my High School classes. As for this next week, not much is going on. I'm hoping to get some new posts up soon so stay tuned. Love you all!! ~Julie

This is the BEST brownie recipe that I have ever tried. My non-gluten-free father always tells me that these are WAY better than poisonous, oops I mean glutenous, brownies. :) #celiacsdisease I adapted this recipe from a King Arthur Flour Recipe to use the ingredients that I most commonly have on hand.
