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.

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

too tired to care

1. The awkward hellos on move-in day.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!
