Be A Fruitloop

Hey there, I'm Rachel and I just did something completely crazy and a little bit terrifying.. I created this blog! With absolutely no plans what so ever ( ask anyone who knows me, I rarely do things without a plan). I don't know what or who i'll blog about, in fact if I make it a month of doing this thing without quitting i'll be ecstatic! I remember in seventh grade I had a blog. I think the title of it included "kiwi", but then again I can't fully remember.  This blog's name is "Moon Beams and Mermaids", don't get me wrong but this isn't totally relevant to my life. I'm not a mermaid, and it is currently 4:30 (no moon beams in the sky.). But i'll have you know, the more I think about this name the more relevant it becomes. After all i've always loved the moon, as a little girl I had to look at the moon before I went to bed, and my favorite bedtime story was "Goodnight Moon".  The mermaid part is really added in there because I thought it sounded good (haha) . But, I have grown to love Ariel (the mermaid) since my family's trip to Disney World, that took place the Christmas of 2011. Also I suppose that the mermaid part of my blog's name is relevant because I love mystical things, I love to think that there is a totally different realm, although I don't believe in that sort of thing I do like to imagine and read stories about it! One of my favorite things to this day is to read fairy tales, I have the complete collection of Grimm's Fairytales, and I love reading them before I go to bed. But for the sake of my conscience I have to tell you, some of them are really dark and WAY scarier than I thought they would be.

Now that you've become completely acquainted with the title of my blog, (and i'm sure you'll NEVER forget the name now that you know the complete story :) ) I suppose it's time for you to get to know me. Well for starters, I'm a girl. (if you hadn't picked up on that) I have dark brown hair and dark brown eyes, my skin is fair. My hair is very thick, it's currently shoulder blade length, but a month ago it was to the bottom of my rib cage; I love switching up my hair because it grows so quickly! My eyes are probably my best feature, they are  brown (like i've said) and are surrounded my long dark eyelashes. I am average height and average size. I love acting and I have a flair for the dramatic, but I also love to write. Hence why I started this blog. I am a introvert, but i'm also very out going and bubbly! Currently I have the day off, and have spent it in my fleece Snow-White PJ's (fun fact: Snow White is my Disney Princess twin! Dark hair, dark eyes and pale, pale skin :) ) and my Google hoodie, which I got from Value Village, my hair is in a greasy messy bun ( I hate to admit it, but today was just to relaxing to shower! Oh well, tomorrow is a new day!). As much as I love looking good, (which I try to regularly) I also love to chill in PJ's or sweats. My appearance doesn't alter my personality or worth, so whenever I feel like looking good I do, and if not, then I don't! ;)

For the sake of your interest I won't spoil everything about me, I suppose you'll have to read more blog posts to figure out who I am, but i'll let you in on a secret. Or rather not a secret, but a choice i've made that has, and will continue to mold and shape my entire life. I have chosen to follow Christ Jesus, and have given my life to him. I love my God! He is powerful and I rely on Him, and Him alone. :)

I don't know who you are, or where you've come from, but I invite you to return to my blog for future posts. As i've mentioned, I don't know who or what i'll blog about, but I can guarantee they'll be a little bit of everything. :)

Before I go, I want to share a quote with you that I have been thinking about all day:

"Be a fruit loop in a world full of cheerios."

I saw this on Pinterest a few days ago, and since then I've been looking for little ways to be a "fruit loop". For instance today I started a blog, which I hope in the future can bring a little smile to your face! I also cooked dinner for my family, actually it was my first time making homemade pizza by myself, and it was a success! 

Take advantage of your day, week, month and year. Each day is a gift, so fill it with love and laughter!
