American Girl doll Stopmotions

It's Natalie again with another blog post! You will enjoy watching American Girl doll stop motions. This is when you take a picture of an American Girl doll. Then you move and you take another picture. And so on. Once you have at least 125 pictures, you can use a special icon on your computer to make it a video and post it on YouTube. You can use other 18 inch dolls and not just American Girl dolls. But most prefer American Girl. The best stop motion channels to visit are Five Doll Stars, Basilmentos, and 7cutekitten7. I'll send you a video from Five Doll Stars:

You can even make your own if you like, if you use the right camera. I have an American Girl doll named Simone and my sister has a doll named Samantha, and I tried to make a stop motion on my mom's phone it did not work well at all.........................................................................................

So, anyways, this is Natalie with another post and I will post some more stuff later. BYE!

This is a delicious recipe. I made this for a project when I was in 5th grade. Everyone loved it! So, for this recipe, you'll need:

• Two cups of Jasmine rice ( Or white rice ) washed and drained
• Two teaspoons of salt ( For taste )
• 2 cups of coconut milk
• 2 cups of water

Directions:

1. Put the rice, salt and 2 cups coconut milk and water in a pan. Over medium heat bring to a boil, stirring occasionally.
2. Reduce heat, cover with lid and simmer very gently until the rice is done, about 20-25 minutes.
3. Serve with beef or chicken stew and vegetables of your choice and enjoy!

I hope you enjoy this delicious recipe!!!!

Natalie's Guide to Dealing with Bullies

Hey, gals! Welcome to Natalie's World! 

I will be blogging about dealing with bullies. Whether it is cyber-bullying or bullying in school, everyone will need some advice. Even me! I will give you a few tips that way help you in the future. 

So, let's begin:

So, you might say that no one has ever bullied you. ( Outside of your siblings ) If you haven't been bullied, you will in the future. Everybody gets bullied at one point of their lives. To prevent being bullied easily, do your best not to hand out with other girls or boys that bully other people. There is a big possibility that if you hang around people that bully, they might pull you in and force you to bully others with them.

If you get bullied often, and just cry whenever your feelings get hurt, you need to stand up for yourself. If you continue to cry, you will the bullies happy. If that happens, they will charge on you because you seem like an easy target. So, next time you are bullied, you need to say something. Here are some examples that may help you:

Bully: You're so ugly. You are so dumb that you think 2+2 is 1,000. 

You: OMG! That's great! We so need put this on the news!

Bully: For the 1,000,000,000th time, you need to stop wearing your hair in a ponytail!

You: Seriously? You're not my mother. You don't tell me what to do. And besides, why do you even care that my hair is always in a ponytail? It's my kind of style and it's not your job to judge it..

If you get bullied, and you stand up for yourself or tell an adult, you're doing great! But if you shout, punch, or say bad things at them, you're going too far. You don't need to be a "Hot Head" in order to defend yourself. If you continue to do those things, people may think that you're a bully when you don't even know it! 

So, those are some tips you may need. And I still have a lot to learn, too, but still use my advice! This is Natalie and I will post some more stuff soon! 

Bye!!

Alexandria Delights

Alexandria is a beautiful city in Virginia. It has a water park called Great Waves and the calm Potomac River. You can ride boats and feed the ducks and geese at the river. Basically the only loud noises are airplanes from all over the world. Most of them are flying to the Reagan National Airport. There is a bridge connecting Virginia to Maryland named the Woodrow Wilson Bridge. It is a beautiful view and very quiet. And it's a wonderful place to have a picnic. It is not so far from DC. So I think you would have a good time if you went there.

Well, this is Natalie here and I will post more stuff as often as I can and I will post more soon! See you later!  Bye!

Hairstyle: Beautiful Buns!

It's Natalie again and today I will show you how to make a hairstyle perfect for gymnastics, ballet, and more.  There is two ways to do this style.

First, you need to put the hair in a high ponytail and tie it off with an elastic.  Take the hair and twist/coil. Wrap the hair around until you have a bun. It might look sloppy. Tuck the hair under the elastic and push in bobby pins if the bun is sloppy. If you want to add extra stuff,  tie a ribbon around the bun.

Here's another way to make the style. make a high ponytail but do not tie of with an elastic. Just start coiling and twisting it. then take an elastic and tie it off over the bun.  Add a ribbon if wanted. I hope you have fun with this hairstyle!

You can use this on a friend or a doll. Enjoy!

Mix and Match doll clothes

Hey everyone! It's Natalie once again, and today I will post about dolls and their clothes. There are many kinds doll companies. These three are my favorites: Our Generation, Journey Girls, and my ultimate favorite,  American Girl dolls. The cool thing about these dolls are that they are the same size, and the clothes fit each other perfectly! If you have an American Girl doll, but you have Journey Girls clothes,  it can work!  I have tried it before. Same thing with Our Generation dolls.  So I recommend you to Mix and Match the clothes off these amazing dolls!  Give it a try!
