Hey guys we wanted to share 11 random things. This is inspired by https://aspynovard.com/about/… she did it a long time ago. Not much more to explain but here’s 11 random things going on with us:
Aliyah:
1.) For my first thing I wanted to share my favorite recipe I’ve been making a lot for lunch recently. So, first I toast sourdough bread and then I spread hummus on top and then a little bit of pesto then I top with spinach and balsamic vinegar. It sounds kind of random but it’s sooooo good haha, I highly recommend it.
2.) I’ve also been loving walking up to the top of the hill I live on after dinner to watch the sunset. The view from there is incredible and it’s not a very well known spot so it’s very quiet and calm. My sister and I like taking photos there and catching the football.
3.) I have been loving playing guitar by my fireplace outside after dark. Singing with my family reminds me so much of a campfire and it makes me feel so warm and cozy inside. My favorite songs to play right now are Haunt You, Memories, and If the World was Ending.
4.) I don’t know why but I’ve been so obsessed with watching college decision reactions lately. The cutest one I just saw was of this girl who applied to all the Ivies and didn’t get into any however at the end of the video she had one left to open and it was Harvard. She actually got into Harvard and started crying. It was so cute. (I can’t remember her channel name.)
5.) My new favorite song I just discovered is Renee’s Song by Bazzi. It’s so pretty and sweet. I really like all of Bazzi’s music and I think he has a really good voice.
6.) It’s been raining recently and I absolutely hate the rain. Well actually I just hate the cold. If it's raining and hot out, I’d love the rain but that doesn’t really happen where we live.. I think the cold ruins my mood. It makes me feel sad and gloomy whereas heat makes me feel excited and pumped. I’d much rather have 100 degree heat then 60’s and if I’m gonna be cold I’d much rather be swimming in the cold waters of the ocean so that I can warm up in the sand later.
7.) Every night at 8 pm in Emma and I’s neighborhood we all go outside and howl to show we’re all in this together. I have been loving going outside and hearing how loud my neighbors are because it’s cool to know others are there in such a lonely time.
8.) I’ve been obsessed with watching Disney+ recently haha. I loveeee Hannah Montana and watched her so much when I was little. Watching the show again now feels so nostalgic.
9.) My family has been loving playing Uno. I know it’s a game of luck but somehow I’m just better than everyone else in my family haha. Maybe I’m just extra lucky.
10.) Sometime this week my mom, sister and I are going to paint my room a very light gray. Right now 3 of my walls are green and 1 purple, I picked it when I was three and I don’t like it any more. I'm excited to have a new cute room.
11.) A couple days ago my mom and I made beignets. They were so good but we made too many and they aren’t very good when they’re not fresh so we have a lot left over that we don’t know what to do with.
Here’s the recipe I used: https://tasty.co/recipe/beignets
Emma:
1.) My new obsession has been Aspyn Ovards youtube channel, her store, and her blog! I have followed her for so long but recently have been watching her a lot more! Her baby Cove is SO cute and I love seeing her grow up. Aspyn’s family seems so nice and their vlogs are super fun to watch. I also love her clothing brand Luca + Grae! They have such cute clothing and the aesthetic they present is so cute! I will have the links to her channel, store, and blog right here!
2.) I’m ordering a new bullet journal from amazon. I have a pink one right now, but the drawings are a bit messy and I wanted to start fresh. I'm getting a white one and I really want to paint really pretty blue butterflies on it!
3.) I want to bake a cake right now so badly but my Mom won’t let me! Let me know in the comments if you have any good cake recipes I should try!
4.) A year ago I was in LA!! I was supposed to be in Disneyland right now, but we could not go because of the coronavirus.
5.) IT JUST STARTED RAINING! Rain is my fav weather if you did not know! I find it super relaxing and it makes me want to get all cozy! It’s kind of weird that I like the rain because I get very cold very easily, but after 7 years of swimming I have learned to deal with it. I do LOVE the sun, but since I am a swimmer, water has a special place in my heart hehe.
6.) I got my Morphe X James Charles pallet last week! I have been loving it and have done one really fun rainbow-ish look with it! I really want to keep trying and experimenting with it, since I have nothing else to do in quarantine.
7.) Since we have not been able to go to coffee shops, I have become a barista!! Lol, just kidding, but I have been in love with the whipped coffee trend! I make mine by adding 2 tsp of instant coffee, 2 tsp of granulated sugar, and 2 tsp of warm water. After that all you do is whip it with a mixer. You can also store it in the fridge for a few days! I only have a very small glass, so it probably lasts for about 5 glasses. So yummy and easy! Let me know if you try it out!
8.) I have really been wanting a cozy set to wear around the house. Aliyah showed me Rydel Lynch’s youtube and she also has a clothing store! She has such a cute set that I want to get called “Chocolate Strawberry Sweatshirt” and the matching “Chocolate Strawberry Sweatpants.” You should def look at them! I love the color and they look so cozy. Here's the link to her youtube and the set I want from her store.
Her store (sweatshirt): https://shoprydel.com/products/tie-dye-sweatshirt?variant=31608935972917
Her store (sweatpants):
9.) When the whole current situation is over, the first thing I want to do is go to Burma Superstar in the city! It’s my fav restaurant in San Fran. The best thing there is the yellow bean tofu.
10.) For school, I needed to cook a meal for my family from a certain place around the world (it's too hard to explain the rest of the project). Anyways, for dessert I made raspberry meringues. I made a basic recipe and added crushed up freeze-dried raspberries. I also added a TINY bit of pink food dye to make it a pink color. They were so good! The raspberry added a nice pop of flavor. YUM! I will link the recipe here! The recipe: https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/ree-drummond/vanilla-meringue-cookies-5237475
11.) I hope everyone is staying happy and healthy! I made rainbows today to put outside so when people walk around they can see them. This is happening all around the country so that little kids can go around looking for them. It show even with a bad store (coronavirus) we can still spread happiness! I challenge you all to do this so you can help brighten everyones day and spread positivity.
Thank everyone for reading. If you get to this point, comment XOXO! Also, we were thinking of starting a new series called “Makeup Mondays.” We would share different makeup looks, what products we want to try, what we have been loving, and so much more. This is inspired by Alisha Marie! She did it for a little while on her channel (she said she may start again soon cuz she forgot to do it). We wanted to bring it here too because we thought it was such a fun idea! Let us know what you think in the comments and if you would like to see this! Bye queens.
Xoxo,
Aliyah and Emma
