especial.

I don't know if I mentioned this before, but this year I am being taught a lyrical solo for two dance competitions. Yep, that's right. This is my first year taking lyrical dance, and I'm already learning a solo. And competing. Geez. Nerve wracking. But my wonderful, sweet dance instructor allowed me to pick any song to my choosing for her to choreograph. So, I would like to share this song that I feel has a great message. Enjoy! Ocean Wide Look outside It's already light and the stars ran away with the night. Things were said, words that we'll try to forget, It's so hard to admit I know we've made mistakes I see through all the tears, but that's what got us here. I'll stay right here It's where I'll always belong Tied with your arms. Days like this, I wish the sun wouldn't set I don't want to forget. What made us feel this way You see through all my fears And that's what got us here. If love is an ocean ...

Hello again! I know that I haven't been keeping up with this website, but I am just stumped on what to do. I really don't know what to post, and being busy is not really helping my creative mind into thinking of what to post. I don't know if that makes sense at all... So. Yeah.  I'm basically asking for some input. If you have any idea of what I should post here, just comment down below. If I don't have enough suggestions, I may just quit on "especial." At least until the summer. I hope you understand. Also, I thought I'd share this photo that I took last month. I hope you enjoy! Lots of Love, Josephine Frances

Yes, here I am again with another healthy recipe! I miss posting these so much, so I decided to experiment in the kitchen for another delicious masterpiece. Crepes. Never made these deals in my life, but love consuming them. The first time I had one was at a restaurant a couple months back. Instantly, I fell in love with them. But how do I make them? After a few times looking for recipes, I discovered that they are really not that difficult to prepare. Just mix the batter, cook, fill, and BOOM. Done. So, let's get in the kitchen!

My sister is extremely... Weird. The schedule officially took over my life. Between dance two days a week to keeping ( well, attempting ) A's in school. My plate is full, with some new thing to keep track of everyday. And the weird thing is that I enjoy it. And in spite of this craziness, I find light in my alone time. Thinking up ideas for dance choreography, exercising, and writing a good story. Nothing can really beat it. Okay, scratch that. I did audition for Fiddler on the Roof with WRHS homeschoolers. That was absolutely terrible, but awesome. Let me explain... Okay, I had auditioned, for a leading role. But hey, I'm really young compared to my older friends. There is no way  I'm getting any leading role, I'll just try it for the experience and for fun. Well, later on, it turns out that I got... Tzeitel. And if you don't know, that is one of the biggest roles. Wait, wait, wait... You're telling me, that I got that part, and there are so  many ...

If you know, I am a dancer, so I try to strengthen my body as much as possible. One of the most important set of muscles to strengthen every day, are your abdominals. Even if you are not a dancer, this can still be beneficial. Now, let's start this work out! You should always start off with a short warm-up routine. If you want me to post mine, just let me know. ;) - Pulse Crunches 20x Lay flat on your back , clasp your hands in front of your body, and pulse. Try to keep your back flat on the ground, or else the exercise won't work. Also, keep your neck up, with your eyes looking at the ceiling, and keep your chin off of your neck. - Broken Down 30 Second Plank: 15 seconds regular 15 seconds rock side to side The point of this is to keep your back flat, and not to keep your bottom sticking up. Try to keep a straight line from shoulders to hip, and hip to ankles. If you have to, start off on your knees. I had to for the first few times doing it, but af...
