My 2 Favorite Episodes of Gilmore Girls Season 4 SPOILER ALERT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 Hi! Gilmore Girls is another one of my favorite shows! There are so many episodes to choose from in season 4, but I think that I know my top 2 episodes. Hopefully you can relate to my favorite episodes!

1. The Lorelais'  First Day. The Lorlais' First Day is the second episode of season 4. In the episode, Lorelai and  Luke help Rory move into Yale and Rory is surprised to see that Paris is her roommate. I  like this episode because  once Lorelai leaves,  Rory calls her back and they have a really fun time together.           

Rory Checking into Yale

2. Raincoats and Recipes. Raincoats and Recipes is the 22 episode in season 4. In the episode, Lorelai invites her family and friends to come see the Dragonfly Inn. I really like this episode because at the very end Luke ends up getting together with Lorelai. I also really like this episode because Kirk gets  night terrors and acts really hilariously when  it happens.

 Can you relate to my favorite episodes? Before I leave, I need to give a shout out to Stephanie for giving me the idea to do my favorite episodes from  Gilmore Girls. Thanks for reading!

The Loud House: top 2 favorite things SPOILER ALERT !

The Loud House is a really great show. There are lot's of great things about the show, So I will list my top 2 favorite parts about the series.

  

 1. The personalities. I love how every character in The Loud House has such a different and unique personality that tons of kids from all around the world can connect to. Some of my personal favorite personalities are of Lana, Luna and Luan. 

2.  My favorite episode is Toads And Tiaras. The episode Toads And Tiaras is when Lola gets a broken leg, and cannot be in a pageant that she has been training for. So, Lana get's coached by Lincoln to become more fancy, like Lola. Once Lana becomes more fancy, they go to the pageant. But, once they get there, Lana cannot help her instincts and she starts acting more like herself. At first, Lincoln is mad, but than he realizes that he should not try to change Lana. I like this episode because it shows that you shouldn't try to change yourself  and be someone that you are not. 

Thanks for reading my top things! Comment if you think that I should do a part 2 or my top things about another show.

How to make glow in the dark slime

Hi! I love slime so, I thought that it might be fun to share with you one of my best slime recipes to make glow in the dark slime.

The ingredients that you will need are: 1 container of  Elmer's Glow In The Dark Glue, Any kind of activator ( my favorite is Elmer's Magical liquid), a spoon, and a medium sized bowl.  Don't forget that if you are using eye contact solution as your activator, you need baking soda.

1. First, take out your medium sized bowl and spoon, and add in the whole bottle of the glow in the dark glue. The glue that you will need looks like this:

2. Then, take out your activator, measure 1/4 cup of activator, and put it in your bowl. 

3.Take out your spoon, and mix until slime starts sticking together.

4. Once you think that the slime looks good enough,  start to knead slime. If the slime is still very sticky, add more activator.

5. And voila! A great slime that lasts for days! Don't forget to test it's glow in the dark abilities!

How to Plan the Perfect Sleepover With Your BFF's

Hi! I have had tons of sleepovers with my friends, and I've come up with some great things to do. Here is my list:

• Be sure to have some of your favorite games ready to play. Some of my game suggestions are to play Sorry, Clue, or Uno. But really, any game is fun, as long as you have some friends to play with.
•  It is absolutely necessary that you watch a movie! Movies are great to have fun with your friends, and an excuse to stay up late!  Before you have a sleepover, be sure that you have a few movie options, just so that your friends don't get upset over the movie that you planned.
• Snacks! Snacks are really great to have. Especially while you are watching a movie.
• Another fun thing to do is to go outside. Any activity from catch, to a skipping rope, is really fun to do with your friends.
• Finally, it is really fun to have a pillow fight.

Hopefully you can now have an amazing sleepover with your friends!
