5 Easy DIY Treats To Make This Summer
Rosanna Pansino

As you plan your lazy summer afternoon or your awesome pool party, take a moment to treat yourself with these five wonderful, cute recipes that have those summer vibes. All the recipes are easy to make and in no doubt, delicious. However, the further you read, the more challenging it will be!

1. Frozen Lemonade

A Dallas mom named Megan created this fun recipe. Click on the picture above or right here for full details of the recipe but it's really quite simple. Just put some lemonade with ice in a blender then, boom: frozen lemonade goodness. If you wanna add something exciting to it, add a scope of ice cream. Absolutely delicious and refreshing for those hot summer days!

2. 4th of July Ice Cream Cones

Need some added flare to your ice cream for this 4th of July? Well, with this super easy recipe by Rosanna Pansino is perfect! All you really have to do is coat the cone with melted chocolate then add some festive sprinkles all around it. It's nothing too crazy but it will at least catch many people's attention.

3. Classic Ice Cream Sandwich

It's so simple and obvious yet, I often forget that it's possible to make that. There are two ways you could make this. The first way is to squish together store bought cookies with your favorite ice cream flavor. The second way, which I think it more satisfying, is to bake your own cookies and squish them together with ice cream. Trust me, once you bake fresh cookies, you wouldn't want to buy store bought again. Recipe for homemade cookies can be found here.

4. Watermelon Rice Krispy Treats

This recipe takes a little more time to prepare but it's perfect for any summer outing! Basically, you melt marshmallows along with food coloring. Then you stir in your rice krispies into the two colored pots. Prepare a cake pan with some butter then outline the pan with the green rice krispies and the pink rice krispies for the center. Add in the chocolate for seeds and popsicle sticks to finish the look.

5. "Zootopia" Pawpsicles

Yes, it's possible to recreate the adorable ice popsicles from Disney's Oscar-winning movie "Zootopia." The talented Rosanna Pansino created this recipe on her YouTube show, "Nerdy Nummies." It only requires four ingredients to make and you would only need to buy a dog paw mold online. You would just combine all the ingredients in a blender and freeze them into the molds. There you have it—a delicious cherry pawpsicle. Perfect for a day by the pool or maybe for watching "Zootopia".

That's all for now! Thanks so much for reading! If you know a recipe for this summer, leave a comment down below. I'm always looking for something new to make.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
