Summer Favorites

June 5, 2015

hey guys!

I wanted to share with you guys, my summer favorites! Since my exams just ended for me its finally summer! I will share my summer favorites in my first week of summer!

1. Supergoop Sunscreen: This is a must have, especially for me, and my very fair skin. This sunscreen is great because it is really not very sticky!

2. Tervis Tumblr: I love this cup because its personalized! Since its double walled it keeps the drinks and the ice very cold in the cup. This cup is amazing for days in summer school or at the beach!

3. Vineyard Vines Towel: A towel is a staple for summer and I love this and think this is just so cute the logo and everything!

4. Victoria Secret Pink Wet Bikini Bag: Okay, I know I talk about this all the time, but I LOVE THIS! This is the greatest invention ever, and I have used it so many times, and I know that I will use it so many more times.

5. Nikon 1 J5 Camera: This is the camera I own, and I enjoy it. Its the size of a little camera, but the lens is almost like a dslr lens.

6. Pink Beaded Tassel Necklace: I personally love how tassel necklaces look! I think they are so chic, and so stylish.

7. Wishing Elephant Bracelet: This wishing bracelet from Stella and Dot is just so cute! I am obsessed with elephants, and love how this bracelet looks!

8. ‘Hello Stranger’ Kate Spade New York IPhone Case: You guys all know that I am a huge fan of Kate Spade, and this lavender case is just very cute, and summery!

9. Havianas Flip Flops in Dark Purple: You guys have already seen, my love for Havianas flip flops. They are just so easy, and they are a ton nicer than the ones you can buy at Target.

10. Brandy Melville Keychain and iPhone Case: These are sold not together, but they are no longer sold! That is so sad, but these are such cute little things, practically made for summer!

thanks all, if you guys wanna comment or share some of your own summer favorites, please share them with me!

how are you? how has your day been?

okay, summer is soon and I (living in California) have been experimenting with summer looks just like the ones above! These are full looks, all including the same acessories. Lets get started!

1. I have been loving pattern shorts! They are so comfortable and cute! They feel just like pajamas! Here are the ones pictured that I own! (1) (2) (3)

2. I also just love the blue color! I think that a pale blue with a darker blue accent color looks really pretty! I love these loose tops (1) (2) with the shorts! What a cute and comfy outfit!

3. A Big Tote! I love my navy longchamp so much! I love this tote so much! Its easy to carry around my camera, phone, wallet etc. This big bag can also be changed into a beach bag if last minute you decide you wanna go to the beach!

4. I LOVE MY CONVERSE! I honestly love my converse so much. They are such comfortable shoes, and so versitile. Plus, they are pretty casual, so if we decide we wanna go down to Santa Monica, its easy to walk around with comfy shoes!

I hope you guys liked this article! Please comment your favorite casual summer looks!

What I have learned from High School Sports

May 27, 2015

hey guys!

I wanted to share with you guys what I have learned from playing sports in High School. As you guys may or may not know, I play both basketball and golf for my high school.

1. Teamwork: This is probably the most important thing of being in a team. If your team doesn’t bond, your experience of games/matches/meets won’t be as fun as they could be if everyone gelled together.

2. You Need to Participate: COME TO THINGS! Okay guys this is also very important. Practices and participation makes you better, and makes the team better.

3. Managing Your Time Is One of the Most Important Things: Being in high school is alot of work, being in harder classes with alot of homework you think that you could never finish. I like to get ahead on everything just to be safe for time management.

4. Set A Goal for Your Team: This year, we brought a new coach in for Golf. My team was brought to my school five years ago, and this year we won our league. That was our goal for 2014 and this next year we wanna win CIF! It sounds crazy, but any goals we set we can finish them!

5. Come to Things, Make your Team Bond: For my basketball team, our team was put together a little late because we weren’t sure if we were gonna have a JV or just a Varsity. My team, in order to bond and have good chemistry we did alot of things together. People who didn’t come to things didn’t get as close with the team as others did.

well, I hope y’all enjoy this article, and if you guys are nervious for tryouts, or have anything to say about this please contact me or comment on this article!

Eye Exams

May 25, 2015

Hey guys!

I wanna share a more personal story with you guys today. So last week, I got my eyes checked by an optometrist. I was never really having problems with vision until I was reading Jane Eyre in my English class. I was reading a lot slower than usual, and also my eyes felt very sore when and after I read. In the past, I have never had any eye problems, infact, I always had 20/20 vision. And I still have 20/20 vision, but I have an eye disorder called Convergence Insufficiency.

Convergence Insufficiency is a disorder where you have 20/20 vision, but you have a problem of how your muscles in your eyes read a page. The problem with Convergence Insufficiency is that you can score a perfect 20/20 on a vision chart in school, or at your doctors office, but never notice this. Since this is a tougher thing to detect, most children who have this, people think they have learning disabilities, but that’s not at all the case. I am saying, if you feel like a your eyes are sore after reading, or you get headaches after reading or you are seeing double, don’t just go to a doctor, visit an optometrist or an ophthalmologist to see if anything else is going on!

Okay, that’s the end of my rant, and my special edition article!

oh and by the way, I got ray bans, the picture of me is what I choose. These are the ones I got.

and yeah, and happy memorial day!

Exam Tips

May 16, 2015

hey guys!

I know that my exams are coming up, so I wanted to share my exam tips for finals, and those big important tests at the end of the year!

here we go:

1. Chew a Piece of Gum while Studying, then Chew it While You are taking the Exam: This trick doesn’t work for many people, because they can’t chew gum at school or it just doesn’t work for you. This works for me. Now I go to a private school, and they usually don’t let you chew gum, but since I ask ahead of time to my proctors, they let me chew the gum. I like to chew bubble mint flavor by any brand!

2. Make Flashcards: Okay, now I know this sounds like a no-brainer, but I always make flashcards because writing things twice helps me remember it better.

3. Get some Sleep: Okay, I know that it is very important to study, but sleep is also very important. Sleep actually helps you remember more of what you study. Also when you sleep more, you perform better on the exams.

4. Start Early: This will help you get more sleep too. I like to make my study guides and flashcards early, and start early picking up more and more things along the way.

5. Get Organized: Right when I get study guides from my teachers, I like to grab a binder, or a notebook with a folder pocket and make study guides and flashcards. This organization helps it be easier when I am driving around just to pick up my binder and easily study.

6. Ask Questions: Okay, this one is very important. Any time you have extra time, a free block, an office hours session or before/after school go to your teachers, and ask the questions you need. Some of the classes right before the final you might not have time to ask the question or the teacher might not be willing to answer the question.

7. Energize Your Mind on the Day of the Exam: The morning of the exam, don’t go crazy studying and trying to cram. If you are cramming now, its not good. In the morning before my finals I like to do a crossword puzzle or a sudoku puzzle, or something like that!

hope y’all enjoyed this, and hope you do well on your finals!
