Let's Bake!

    Along with my passion for dance, I love to cook and bake! Today it was a very rainy Saturday and I wanted to bake something so I decided to make... Blondie Brownies! I didn't want to make them from scratch though so instead I used a mix. One of my favorites, Barefoot Contessa, should only take around an hour and is pretty simple to use.  

     Speaking of cooking, I just bought a new cooking book called "Teens Cook: How to Cook What You Want to Eat" by Meghan Carle and Jill Carle. I can't wait until it arrives! 
I love to cook because it takes my mind off things. And, duh, it's fun! 

Next weekend I will have another Let's Bake! for you. A Let's Bake! is where each weekend I will have cooked a dessert or meal and write about it. Well I better try a slice of my Blondie Brownie ;)

Dance Update!

Bonjour mes amis! Glad to be back blogging! I've got some exciting news! I auditioned and was accepted into a competitive dance company! It's in the style of HIP HOP, my favorite style of dance!

I auditioned on September 23 and they posted the results that night at 10. We compete in competitions, dance at Great America, and perform in general. We're working on a dance to "As Long as You Love Me" by Justin Bieber and it's one of the most challenging dances that this competitive company has ever done. The girls in my group are all my dance friends so it's really fun dancing with them! 

A few tricks and moves we do in the dance include:
- An elbow stand (where you balance on your cheek with your feet in the air)
- A partner cartwheel (where one partner does cartwheel with locking onto other partners legs. The other partner stands and helps flip torso)
-Tutting (a style of Hip Hop much like an Egyptian :) 

Hope your day is grand! 


XOXO, MIA ROSE
