The concealer I use is from two face, its called Tow Face Born This Way. You can get it from any of the places I said you can get the foundation. I use this because it goes very well with the foundation and looks really good on the skin.

The eye shadow palette I use most of the time would be my James Charles palette, and you can buy it at Ulta, and Sephora that I know of. It has so many colors, and they are all so pretty. It works with every makeup look you want to do. It looks really good, but you kinda have to learn how to not make it patchy. 

The Setting spray I use is called all-nighter setting spray, you can get it from Ulta, and Sephora. It makes your make up last, and goes well with a lot of foundations, concealers. 

#8 MY BIRTHDAY IDEAS

FUN BIRTHDAY IDEAS YOU CAN DO, AND THAT I WILL PROBABLY DO

 HOTEAL 

I might rent a hotel and if I do I will have friends and family over. At the hotel during the day my family will be there, and we will have a small party, hang out, and swim. Later on, I  plan on swimming, playing hide and seek, having a little party, and going to the restraint for dinner at the hotel. Which is something that most people can do for a birthday party. 

GO CAMPING 

I might just go camping with friends. If I do this we will go swimming, hiking, have a fire, fishing, rent jet skis, have a little party, and make s'mores. 

RENT AN AIRBNB 

If I do this I will probably have a theme for my party, like a cowgirl/cowboy theme, or white lie shirts . I would decorate it, have friends over,  just hang out, and if it has a pool swim.

JUST HANG OUT WITH FAMILY 

Honestly I might just hang out with family. It is just nice to hang out with family and go out to dinner, or something. 

#7 Social media

How has social media changed in your lifetime?

 Social Media has changed in time. When I was younger I didn't really have social media the only thing I had was Facebook, but I was only allowed to have family on it. Now days all these little kids have grown up on social media, or are growing up on social media. 

What influence has social media had on your life? Society at large?

Social media has a huge influence on a lot of peoples lives, even mine. Sometimes I get sucked into the trends, because I think the trend is cool, or I just want to kinda fit in a little. Another thing is social media also affects a lot of peoples physical and mental health. On the other had social media has also impacted my life in a good way as well. It has actually made me less shy, gave me cute ideas to do with friends, cute outfit ideas, and social media lets you talk to your friends and family that don't live close. 

What social media platforms and trends are still relevant? Which are outdated (hashtags, ice bucket challenge)?

On TikTok there is a lot of trends that happen, like dance trends, food trends, makeup trends, fashion trends, cool transitions on videos, and then there are dumb trends like the Borg challenge. Some hashtags that are trending on TikTok right now are #trending #TikTok made me buy it #dance. Some outdated hashtags are #FYP, and more. How has social media changed in your lifetime?

#6 summer ideas

    Sumer is a time when you're supposed to have the most fun. No one has school, you get a couple months off. I know some people like to make a Sumer bucket list, which is a list of fun, crazy things to do before the end of summer. I am one of those people who make one every summer, and if you want to make one you have come to the right blog. 

#1 GET A HOTEL 

I try and do this one every year, you can rent a hotel with your friends which is what I normally do, but you can also do it with family. Some things that I normally do when I get a hotel are

• Play hide and seek 
• go swimming 
• have a movie night
• chill 
• try meet new friends 
• walk around in cute outfits 
• take pictures  

#2 CAMPING 

I go camping every summer at least 3 times. Another thing you can do with your family, or with friends. When I go camping I do stuff like 

• Go off roading 
• Swim
• Tubing 
• Cliff Jumping 
• Ride quads 
• Ride Jet skies 
• Look at the stars 
• make s'mores
• Have a fire 
• Fish

• Go to the beach 
• Go out to eat 
• Go thrifting 
• Walk around 
• Maybe go to six flags or something fun like that 

#4 HAVE A MOVIE NIGHT OUTSIDE 

I have never done this, but it is simple to do. You just need a projector, a wall, movies, blankets, and a fan because it's going to be hot, snacks, and drinks.

#5 WATER BALLOON FIGHT 

 Get your family and friends together and have fun. 

#6 PHOTO SHOOT 

 

 Go to cute places or random places, and take pictures 

#5 AZ water

    In this article "What's Happening with the Arizona Water Shortage Crisis" they point out how the Colorado river, Lake Mead and the Colorado River are all running out of water. The Colorado river has been running out of water for a while, but no one has really talked about it until more recently, and still not a lot of people talk about it or know what's happening."Lake Powell upstream on the Colorado River is similarly experiencing water dropping to its lowest level since it was filled in the 1960s" (Olivia Lai), Which can cause a problem for people who've in AZ, and for the environment. over all this article is a good article to educate people on what is going on with the AZ water shortage. 

  HOW IS THE WATER SORT AGE  AFFECTING ME/ MY OPINION 

 As a person who lives in Arizona, this can affect my family as well as me. I don't like drinking really anything else besides water and Gatorade, so this whole running out of water is kinda scary. In my opinion I feel like we can cut back on using water for certain things, like shorter showers, turning off the sink while you are brushing your teeth, and things like that.

my new routine #4

 My new routine 

    In my last blog I talked about my goals that I have and the goals I was setting could also work for you. I have achieved some of my goals and created a routine.  I also started doing a few things by myself like self care, making doctors appoints, and making new friends.

My Morning routine 

    I start my day by waking up around 8-830am on weekends and then during the week I wake up around 730am. I pick out an outfit and then brush my teeth, do my makeup if I decide to, then I put on my socks and shoes, then head to school. 

After school routine 

    I get out of school by 12pm the latest everyday, then I go home. when I get home I do my homework, eat lunch, brush my teeth, pick up the house if needed, then I go to the gym with my friend. After all of that I normally hang out with my friends and go do random stuff, or I will just go hang out with my family.

My night routine 

    Normally after all of that I come home take a shower, put on PJs, then if my mom is up for it we will watch our shows, and if she isn't up for it I normally try either catch up on homework that I maybe didn't see, or try and get ahead. Then it is time to go to sleep.

My gym routine 

    For the gym if you want to try my routine I go 5 times a week, and if i'm home on the weekends then I do 6 times a week.

MON- Its a warmup day I kinda just down hour of cardio and like 30min of abs 

TUES- I do a 15min stretch then an hour of arms and 3min of abs 

WED- I do a 15min stretch and then an hour of legs 

THURS- I do 15min stretch and then I do just cardio for an hour 

FRI- I do 15min stretch and then I do 30min of ads and arms 

and if I go on Saturday I do 15min of stretching and then an hour of legs and 30min of abs 

Entry #2 four goals that you can also do

1. Start a self care routine

    If you don't know what a self care routine is, it is maintaining a regular sleeping routine, eating healthy, working out, etc. I feel like having a self care routine would help me, because I feel like it will make my life feel a bit more organized. Another thing that I feel like a self care routine would help with is making me and anyone who adds a self care routine into their day feel better mentally, and in general. 

2. Start doing things by myself/yourself 

    I feel like this could help everyone, because when you spend time with yourself you get to learn new things about yourself that you didn't know. That's why I want to start doing more things by myself. Like going to the gym, sitting at a park, driving around, ect. 

This is a picture that I took on a walk I went on

3. Making more friends

    Making new friends is kinda hard for me, because I can be kinda shy. which is why I want to meet new people. I feel like making new friends will force me to learn how to talk to people and get used to it. If you also struggle making new friends or talking to people, you should make it a goal to meet new people and become friends, because I feel like it will help in the long run with talking to literally everything. 

4. Learning how to live in the moment

This is something that not a lot of people do. I think that everyone should make this a goal for themselves, because I know I tend to think that i have tomorrow, but in reality no one is guaranteed tomorrow. So I want to learn to just focus on the now, and not the past or too far in the future
