Guess who's back...?

Welcome back Gems. 

I'm back and better than ever. So for all the newbies let's catch y'all up.

My name is Makenna Jewels Ricks born on December 20th 2007 making me a Sagittarius. And there's a few things you need to know: pretty in pink is a phrase I live by and music just might be my lifeline. 

From a very young age I have always loved to read, a trait I still posses. The feel of paper in my hands is an unbeatable feeling. It has always been amazing how some can create such a complex world with only ink, paper and their imagination. Emotional transportation to anywhere or any time I like. The Book Thief, Six of Crows and Legendborn are my top 3 favorite books of all time. I highly recommend. 

Baking is a passion of mine. I love desserts, the sugar rush not so much. Chocolate bars may or may not be my poison of choice. By hey we all have our things.

My first time editing was the commercial which was a fun learning experience. However I'm very excited for the music video because I love music and songwriting. The way feelings an emotion can be felt and interpreted by others. Artists such as Taylor Swift and Conan Gray's songs make me feel like they're writing about my life. Like their songs, Dear reader and People  Watching. Because I am convinced it is about me. So being able to create that feeling for someone else is like I have the same power the singing did when the song was created. I'm breaking all my Spotify playlists for this one.  So y'all better buckle up because if there is one thing that can get me hyped is a good song. 

That's all for now, keep singing, I mean shining Gems.

Sincerely, 

Makenna Jewels <3

Intro blog; All about me

Welcome Gems to the story of my life.  My name is Makenna Jewels Ricks born on December 20th 2007 making me a Sagittarius. I grew up with my two younger sisters and two older brothers. And my favorite color is pink.  Now that the introduction is out of the way let's get into it. From a very young age I have always loved to read, a trait I still posses. The feel of paper in my hands is an unbeatable feeling.  It has always been amazing how some can create such a complex world with only ink, paper and their imagination.  Emotional transportation to anywhere or any time I like. The Book Thief, Six of Crows and Legendborn really created this transportation for me. Baking is a passion of mine. It's like sharing in the art of creation, with sugar, spice and all that. My favorite personal recipe has to be my mini apple pies, that's all I can say about them (trademark pending). But y'know what beats baking desserts? Eating desserts, chocolate chip cookies, cake with but...

Production: Filming; The Man in the Mirror (maze)

Hey Gems. Welcome back as promised here is the blog were I felt everything went wrong. But we'll get into that. This blog is not A Glimpse in my Chaotic Mind, because I wouldn't have done that, rather a look into someone else's mind. Let's just get into this.  First how do you work at a fair and have the most unapproachable attitude I have ever seen in my whole 16 years of living. Like if you don't like people don't work at fair. Like hello. So as y’all know the mirror maze was a major part of our film. Yes I’m using past tense because that dream came crashing down real quick. So. we mostly filmed in order of the scenes. We beforehand asked each ride or game attendee can we film. When we asked Mr. Attitude’s response was “no, how many?” Then when we were trying to explain the situation to him he just scanned the game-card and told us to go in. However we were what for it to clear so we could get a good take. He doesn’t care at all.  Now that we had captured the ...

Research and Planning

 Welcome back Gems. Planning things about myself has never been easy, being honest about yourself them to other people. Welcome to how I start (or attempt to) this process.  I had no idea were to start.  Scrolling through hundreds of photos on both Google Photos and Snapchat as preparation.  So let's jump into it.  For pictures start from the beginning well the youngest with my siblings and I in purple. Then to the most recent picture of me in purple. And the last picture me on the first day of school.  Chronological order, a mini timeline of my life.  Videos are a lot harder than picture roughly 98% of my videos are of other people  so finding some to use was a challenge. Keep in mind these videos are featuring my sisters.  The videos are from my cruise to the Bahamas last September  as they are probably the only videos I am will to share with the general population. But hey, that's the point of planning.  Choosing songs was though...
