Farewell Letter

       It’s the end of the year, we are all tired, and we don’t care anymore. Not gonna lie, this year has been interesting. Interesting prompts, interesting people, and interesting classes. This creative writing class was probably the easiest class out of all of them. However, I still manage to get a C.   

Honestly, I didn’t like creative writing. It’s not my thing. Creative people are on the edgy side. Im probably the least edgy person. Im not weird. Weird is a good thing though. They have a cool way of expressing themselves which is why they exceed in creative writing, unlike me. Im just basic. Weird is goofy, fun, and atheistic. And then there’s me, the basic white girl who is attempting to run a blog 😂.

Anyway, im glad i was in this class even if I sucked at the actual writing part. Even if I sat there quietly, I enjoyed listening to everyone’s funny stories! It’s been nice getting to know some of the people in this class. Im going to miss Ms. Henderson’s theater stories and Jelyce’s rants for sure 😂. Farewell creative writing! hope the next class is awesome!

10 Things You Need to Know About Taking Care of your Skin

       Your skin is a very important part of your body, and you are going to live in it for your whole life. That is why you need to take care of it! There are sooo many thing to know about taking care of your skin, but here are my favorite tips!

Please please please use cold water to wash your face before you wear makeup! It closes your pours and makeup won’t clog them! Never use expired makeup! And yes, makeup does have an expiration date. I learned the hard way, pimples are not the prettiest lol. Wash your face with black African soap with warm water and rinse with cold water. Black African soap soothes irritated skin, it has antibacterial properties, it’s safe for all skin types, it’s a great moisturizer, it exfoliates, it fights acne, and it prevents razor bumps. As you can see, it has many benefits! When you shave, use this method- moisturize, exfoliate, moisturize, shave. Never sleep in makeup! You don’t want to marinate your skin in that, also your eyelashes are going to fall out with all that clumpy mascara. Speaking of eyelashes, dang it this is a skin thread! I’ll tell you later… Anyway! Face masks mare amazing! Use Three a week and your skin will be glowing! Leave a coat of honey on your face to reduce acne scars. If you have acne that just won’t dry up and go away, use rubbing alcohol to dry it up. Do that every night after you wash your face, wait five minutes, and then moisturize. Moisturize! I use equate dual power moisturizer on my face after my shower. SUNSCREEN!!! Before you wear makeup, put a layer of break-out free liquid lotion Neutrogena clear face sunscreen. I get the broad spectrum SPF 55. This will prevent wrinkles and it doubles as a low key moisturizer. That’s it for all of my skin tips for now! Defiantly try these out. They work wonders!

How to Do My Makeup Routine

 

You will need-

  • Burt’s Bees foundation
  • Total Temptation mascara
  • Miliani strobe light highlight

First, add foundation under your eyes and blend until it looks natural.

Second, add the foundation to any area with acne. I hide mine with makeup.

Next, use the mascara to spread your eyelashes and then apply it from the bottom of the lashes to the top so they get a nice even coat. Don’t put any mascara on your bottom lashes.

Last, use your finger to spread the liquid highlight on the apple of your cheek, the brow bone, the bridge of your nose, and the inner corner of your eyes.

And that’s how to do my makeup routine!

Daily Rutine

My schedule is crazy! i never get a break! I wake up, put clothes on, eat, brush teeth, get in car, sleep, do makeup, walk in school, do makeup in bathroom, do the rest of school, go home with Ella, get Dad to pick me up, go back to his work, sit in car till 9:15, go home, take shower, eat, brush teeth, pack lunch and finally go to bed. I do not have time to mess with people at 10 at night. I feel like I have the most busy schedule ever. This weekend, instead of me going over to a friend’s house, they are coming over to mine. Maybe we will go to the avenue or the square. Whatever we do though, It better have nothing to do with school.

 

Bella’s Birthday Part 1

Let me start from the beginning. Last June it was my best friend’s birthday. We have a neighborhood of friends that we hangout with every day in the summer. For her birthday, we all met up at the pool at the apartments down the road. There were 5 girls and 5 guys. Everything was cool for about 30 minutes until some girls that don’t like Bella showed up. They were sisters. They came to start trouble on purpose. All of use were playing a game with a ball in the pool and then the younger sister was like, “Ya’ll better stop lookin at us. Better find sumthin else to look at cuz I knowww you aren’t lookin at me!” We told her that we weren’t looking at her and went back to playing our game. Her and her sister kept trying to start fights for no reason. There wasn’t even a specific topic they were fighting about if I remember right. Then again, my brain doesn’t let me remember traumatic events. I’m just telling you what I remember. I remember the two girl start to push around some of the guys outside the pool. Bella was trying to break it up. And then there was a full blown fight. The younger sister grabbed Bella’s hair and through her to the ground. Then she made a big scratch on Bella’s arm with her ratchet acrylics. When she got free she called the cops. She stared crying and she couldn’t breath so I had to talk to the police and update them on everything. By the way, none of us are even supposed to be at the pool because we don’t live at the apartments. Two of they boys had previously been in trouble for trespassing there so they ran home like they were never there. We were fine with that. We didn’t want them in more trouble. Two of the girls went with them because they were afraid, but they later went back to Bella’s house to get her dad (who works with police) to come to the pool. Her dad got there and he made us all wait for the police. The two girl started cussing at her dad and that started a whole new thing. The police got there and we all had to write reports. The two girls went with the cops. We are going to court tomorrow; almost a whole year later. We have some good things going for us though. One, they have records. Two, we have a small video. Three, there were two young adults that we made friends with that were chilling at the pool who saw everything. They wrote a really good report for us. I have no idea how this court thing is going to go, but I will update you later on!

Current Event: US measles cases at second highest since disease was eliminated in 2000

Guys, this is why we get vaccinated. I’m not tryna get this fr. There is like 387 cases in 15 states. It’s going to spread too. This event makes me feel nervous because if I miss class i’m going to have to take finals! This impacts everyone’s life. It effects the ill mostly, but also the people to are near them and get sick. Luckily it hasn’t affected me, so i’m good rn. There are six outbreaks. The vaccine has been known to have reactions that may also cause the sickness. However, to protect against it you should still get vaccinated, stay away from people with measles, and always wash your hands.

Soundtrack of My Life

When I was younger, my mom did not let me listen to music that normal kids listened to. I didn’t get to listen to Drake till I was like 12. Whenever I went to my dads i would pull out my moms old radio she left from under my bed. I got some tools and fixed it up believe it or not. Then, I learned how to turn the knobs to the current radio station and listened to music by JT, Rihanna, Train, Katy Perry, Maroon 5, etc. Years later I thought about the old music that kept me going and I finally decided to make a playlist of my childhood favorites. Enjoy!
