So because Christmas break is coming to a close and my sister and I are bored and want to revisit our childhoods, we've been watching Disney movies. Which has lead me to create a list of the best Disney movies ever
1. Sleeping Beauty: Although it wasn't successful in its own day, this movie is magical. The art is typical of the century (of the film, like in the olden times not the 60s) Also I loved the songs, still do.
2. The Aristocats: As a kid I loved cats, still do, but its such an awesome movie. Its a lot of fun!
3. Pocahontas: Ok Ok Ok remember Thomas from it? yeah he was a little annoying, but its Christian Bale! Also I like the art in it a lot and it was one of my favorites as a kid.
4. 101 Dalmations: Is there a cooler "bad guy" than Cruella Da Ville? So awesome! She really tries to get the job done too, so brilliant! Love that movie.
5.The Hunchback of Notre Dame: I really liked Esmerleda, and I thought the art of the film was super cool.

I was in fourth grade when I sprained my ankle. This is the closest I've come to breaking a bone. I was over at my friend's house. His mother had arranged a scavenger hunt for us and the first clue was in his tree house that was a little ways out from his house. Now in fourth grade I fancied myself an adventurer, like in the way a normal child does, not to a weird extent. My friend said that he loved to jump out of the tree house for fun. I was instantly determined to try it. If he could do it, there was no reason I couldn't. The thing about the tree house though, is that it was located a ways up in trees. A story and a half to two stories I was told later. I should have listened to my inner cautious person but I was an adventurer!!!! I had adventures!!! So I crouched down and hopped out the tree house. I can still remember the fall. It felt like I was falling for a long time, and even though it was an odd feeling it was pretty awesome! Thankfully I landed like a cat, on my feet crouched down with my hands on the ground. There was an instant pain in my ankle. In the time that it took to fall, my friends had some how made it to the ground. One of my friends ran over to me starring and tried to help me up because I hadn't gotten up for at least 5 minutes. Since that day I've suffered from weak ankles. Probably before as well and I just hadn't realized it to be fair.

Personal Style Icons
1. Bridget Bardot-The woman was fabulous, 1960s fashion trend setter. Every woman wanted to be like her full blonde hair, a heavy cat eye, nude pouty lips. She and repetto inovated the ballet flat for one of Bardot's films.

4. Kate Moss-supermodel that defied the odds of height. Her style is incredible. She flucuates between bohemain, classic and rocker and its always fantastic. She's a amazing model too
5. Twiggy-defined mod and created a whole new look girls would be trying to emmulate for a long time. Her eyes were beautiful and iconic as well
and thats all that i can think of at the moment, probably forgetting someone huge.

2. Gwyneth Paltrow-she always chooses clean cut pieces with interesting, sharp lines. She understands the minimalist look and works it. Gorgeous, interesting and somewhat timeless
3. Audrey Hepburn-Timeless elegance, defined gamine style for generations, quirky and adorable. Breakfast at Tiffany's put the little black dress on the map. 4. Kate Moss-supermodel that defied the odds of height. Her style is incredible. She flucuates between bohemain, classic and rocker and its always fantastic. She's a amazing model too
5. Twiggy-defined mod and created a whole new look girls would be trying to emmulate for a long time. Her eyes were beautiful and iconic as well
6. Pattie Boyd-model, rocker wife x2 , beautiful, author pretty fantastic
7. Jane Birkin-easy bohemian style for the 1970s so simple and brilliant, inspired the Hermes Birkin bag. The woman loved a mini dress and thats all that i can think of at the moment, probably forgetting someone huge.

When i was a kid my mom made my sister and I take swimming lessons. I would always get ridiculously excited about a pool. "ITS A CHANCE TO GET IN THE WATER AND SWIM OMG OMG OMG!!!" i would think. I've never been as much of a natural swimmer as my sister and took what the teachers said quite literally. When one instructor told us how to do the basic kick where you keep your legs straighter in the water, instead of thrasing like little kids do, i grabbed a kickboard to hold onto and kept my legs board straight, no bend AT ALL. Needless to say it took me years to get from one side of the pool to the other, and back again. (disclaimer* i was also probably the youngest and I'm a very short person)
I remember one day we practiced bobbing up and down in the water, i'm not sure why, but apparently its a very vital skill to have in swimming. Once again we had to go to one side of the pool and back again. All bobbing....the whole way. The smart kids swam part of the way but I was determined, and naive. I lurched down, pushing with my little, stubby arms to get to the bottom of the pool and push back up with all my might. I ingested so much water that afternoon, its not even funny.

I have always had a very sensitive stomach. When I was a kid it seemed I could not get the cause and effect that when I ate like really crappy foods I would get sick. Maybe its because I didn't realize there are differences between good and bad foods? who knows. But, I can remember when I was around 8 my parents began letting my sister and I say up a little late on Saturday nights. It was like a responsibility thing in my eyes, not my parents', but Cait could seem to control herself and handle not eating like a pig and suffering the conequences for eating like there was no tomorrow late at night. My dad made the most delicious homemade popcorn you hae ever tasted. It, for some reason, never crossed my mind that I should probably stop eating or not eat as much as humaly possible. Inevitably my stomach would start to rebel against me and I'd be sleeping on the floor next to my parents' bed....more vomiting than sleeping. My poor parents would stay up making sure I wasn't dying. It was like a weekly routie. Oh its Saturday night? that means its time for Linds to eat her weight in popcorn, and stay up too late puking. I eventally learned to control my appetite for popcorn and control myself, and it seems i outgrew the throwing up stage. A few months after I outgrew this stage, I started developing so many cavities. It seemed like every dentist appointment I had at least one cavity. It wasn't until a few years later I made the connections between the two. I still stay up too late, especially on saturday nights. Maybe as I get older I'll outgrow that stage as well.
