Day 16

So today, I am going to do a blog on one thing I want to do before I die! So, lets get started!

So, before I die, I want to be known for something. I don't want to be just that girl who seemed nice. I want to leave a part of me behind, if that makes sense. What I want to do before I die is something with charity. My whole dream is to start a fundraiser and make it into something bigger like a worldwide charity like Salvation Army or something to do with that. I know, this may not be a realistic thing but it is a dream and everyone has outrageous dreams! But, I think it would be really cool to start an organization dedicated to something for others, not just for selfish reasons.......So, that is what I want to do before I die! What do you want to do before you die?!

Day 15

Ok, so now I am supposed to put a photo of my favorite bracelet... this is going to be really short again because it is just a photo so here we go:


so I don't really hve one favorite bracelet I just have many but if I had to chose I would probably pick this one my neighbor made me. It is a silver chain with pale pink beads spread out unevenly. It is so pretty and it has some sentimental value to it so that is always a plus! P.s. Sorry for the sideways pictures and the bluriness.. I don't have the most detailed camera in the world but I love it!!!

Day 14

Ok, so it is really late right now so I am going to make this quick. I am supposed to talk abotu the hair style I would like to have, and that would be curly hair. I have stick straight hair and sometimes I feel like it is really annoying because it is just plain. I would love curly hair that is shiny and smooth! But, whatever I love my hair anyway!!!!!!!!!!

Day 13

After finally finishing my English paper on Jane Eyre (which I loved!) I am going to blog right now! YAHOO! BLOGGIN!

So today I am going to talk about a makeup look that best describes me which is:

I think this picture best describes me because it is bold and in your face, but it also has some earthy tones, but it is also very smoky-eye-ish. It also would look great on my skintone/and with my hair color, so A+ for that! I think I am going to try and create this look with what I have because it is really pretty but bold (gotta have boldness or it wouldn't be me!) But I wouldn't really wear this for school because I think it might be a LITTLE inappropriate to wear to class (but it would match my uniform! A++!) Also, I have brownish/greenish/hazelish eyes so this would perfectly match this! So, I have now decided I am going to try and create this look and I will post pictures (BONUS BONUS BONUS: MAYBE EVEN A VIDEO! I once tried to make a youtube video but it was very awkward so I MIGHT try to make a video for this, but I don't know!) But I am definitely going to try and post my results!
Adios!

Day 12

So this blog is going to be super short because it asks me my favorite color. It is green. . . . SO, that seems like a short blog so I am going to just ramble on and on! YAHOOTI! So right now I am about to do some workouts because. . . . . I AM GOING TO THE BEACH SOON!!! (2 weeks!) I am so excited. I am visiting my grandparents and cousins and where they live, is near the beach. I already decided I am going to the beach every single day even if I have to drive myself (even though I do not have a license or PERMIT!) But whatever. . .. I am determined to get tanned, get sand everywhere in my bag, read seventeen magazine, maybe meet a cute boy here and there (hahaha AH I CAN'T WAIT!) and go SWIMMING! It is supposed to be up in the 80's degrees and that is hot compared to where I live right now! I am so excited : ) Where are you going for spring break vacation?

Elliptical Machine.......

Ok, so we finally found an Elliptical Machine! YAYAYAY! We are going to Walmart this Sunday. . . I cannot wait to start using it! YAHOO! So this is going to be a very short blog because this is the topic:

I am finally going to stop obsessing over an elliptical machine I haven't even bought yet!

There we go!
The End!

Sunday, March 13, 2011

What I did Saturday

So, yesterday I went errand shopping with my mom and dad! (Like last weekend!) So, we went to Target, Costco, and Kroger. At Costco, we looked at Elliptical Machines! YAY! I was really happy because we found an excellent one right in our budget! I was really excited and we went home and looked on consumer reports/reviews and found out it wasn't a good elliptical machine :'( So we are going to have to keep looking. . . If you have an elliptical machine that is $500-$900 please tell me about it!!! Thanks!!!!!!!!! Have a good weekend!

Random

So, I have a question. So the other day I was bringing up a chair from my basement. So, I was going up the stairs and I turned around and the chair's leg nicked the wall and made a whole about the size of an average ear! Does anybody know what I should do? Should I hire somebody to fix it? Should I hire somebody to just plaster the wall and myself paint it? The thing is, I am still young and my parents were really mad ( I got in a lot of trouble, OOPS!) and I am going to pay for the fixing. Well, I really don't want to pay more than $500. Is this possible or is there no other way to get the job done well than to pay $1000?

Day 11

So, it is daylight savings time! AAAH SO CONFUSING!

So today I am going to talk about a bag that I want to have. Ok here is a picture of it:
I think it is perfect for spring and it has so many pockets! I LOVE POCKETS! The only bad thing about it is that it is completely white. Sometimes I wouldn't like that because it would get dirty really easily. But other than that, it is perfect all way around! I might buy it for my sister though because she is going off to college soon! (It is going to be really sad when she leaves because I think me and her are really close! But anyway. . ) I might buy it for her because she wants a purse like this.

Day 10

Yay, finally reached double digits!!!!!!!! YEAH! Ok so Today (tonight) I am going to talk about my favorite band/singer which is. . . . GREENDAY! Yes, that is right. . . . It was so funny because when I told my grandma this (the one who wears a lot of lipstick and carries her "pocketbook" :D ) but when I told my grandma she thought I was talking about a day that was all for green recycling! It was really funny. But, no. I am talking about the band. With Billie Joe Armstrong, Tre Cool, and Mike Dirnt. Amazing singers, drummers, guitarists, bassists etc! But, I play guitar, and I probably know about more than half of their new sons on the 21st Century Breakdown album and a lot of older songs (American Idiot, Basket Case, Jesus of Suburbia, Minority, etc!) I LOVE THIS BAND! Check them out on youtube! AMAZING! My favorite song is Jesus of Suburbia. . . .  9 minutes is the time of the song. . . I know what you are htinking "9 minutes!? I don't have time for that!" But every minute is worth it! Not one part of that song I don't like! Hope you check it out and enjoy it!

Japan

I don't know if any of you guys have heard about the earthquake in Japan, but the last few days there has been an earthquake that was rated an 8.9 on the scale (which can be one of the worst types of earthquakes I think) There have been up to 1,000 people who have died and many who are/have been trapped and surrounded on land in Japan with no food or water or any chance in survival. The U.S.A is sending over some needed supplies from Taiwan (I AM NOT SURE! I AM JUST GUESSING FROM WHAT I HEARD FROM THE NEWS EARLIER TODAY! PLEASE CORRECT ME IF I AM WRONG) It is taking place in Honshu, Japan. There have been blackouts, fires, and damages mostly caused by floods (mostly, all the mud and dirt is damaging) over half the city.  I just want to say that have these people in your minds right now. The people who have lost their families, lost their home, lost anything. . . I just want to dedicate this blog to everybody who has lost someone or something in Japan and hope and pray that everyone in Hawaii and San Francisco don't get hit too hard.


I hope it is okay if I put a prayer on here:

We pray for those who died in this recent disaster.
May their souls rest in peace.
May their families be comforted.

We pray for the living survivors.
Be with them, Lord, in this traumatic time.
May they experience Your healing,
In their spirits as well as their bodies.

We pray for the communities affected.
May they come together in solidarity
To rebuild and to affirm new life
Amid the ancient stones.


I, personally am not a religious person. I really hope I don't offend anybody. I certainly do not mean to offend anybody in any way at all. I just want to say this because in my heart, it feels like the right thing to do.
I hope everything will soon come together in the end. All I personally ask is to keep the people in Japan in your thoughts, Thank you.


I REALLY HOPE I DIDN'T OFFEND ANYBODY! I ABSOLUTELY DON'T MEAN TO GO AGAINST ANY OF YOUR MORALS AND VALUES ETC. (If you are offended at all by this in any way, please email me or comment so I know what is the right thing and the wrong thing to post :D )

Day 9

Today, I am going to blog about my favorite pair of shoes that I own!!!!! Just to add on, I will put in a pair of shoes that I wish I had and I am going to put my favorite boots by season!!! So here we go:


So this is my favorite winter/fall boots:  
So this isn't the exact pair, but it is really close except the boots are not brown and they have three square buckles, not circular like these ones! These are my favorite winter boots because first, they are super duper cute, and mine are black so they match everything! And they are so cute with skirts and skinny jeans!! YAY! Because that is basically everything I wear for pants : )
Note:  These specific boots are from DSW (Designer Shoe Warehouse) and they are $70.00 according to the website. I think my boots were $30.00 but I don't know because I got them from Christmas!

So here are my favorite spring/summer shoes:
(BESIDE FLIP FLOPS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)


















I have these in brown... I love wearing these with shorts and skirts in the summer (Because here, it gets so hot I can't stand wearing pants, even at night! I would die! I mean I think it is just me because everyone else seemes to be fine with it, but I get so hot and my legs are so uncomfortable and ack! But, summer and warmth is still so far away!) But, yea I love these shoes! They look really uncomfortable but they actually are pretty comfortable.... Shoe tip: If you think shoes are going to give you blisters, rub Vaseline on the spot where you might get blisters before you go out, and bring a small jar of it with you so if it starts to hurt again you can put it there. Something about the slipperiness and texture helps a lot!!!!!!!

 Shoes I want to buy:


Product Image Women's Mossimo Supply Co. Wakana Strappy Wedge Sandals - Brown
Ok, so these shoes, I will probably never buy in my life. I wouldn't have anywhere to wear them except probably a wedding but I have never been invited to a wedding before :( But, I don't really go to fancy places where I could go out and wear these.
School: I wear a uniform
Special Events: I have got plenty of other shoes I can wear that I haven't worn in a while
Going out with my friends: I don't go anywhere except my house, movies, or the mall recently so....
Also, I really would like these because I don't own a single pair of heels in my closet (because I am a complete klutz and can't even walk straight in flats!) And, I think that these are really cute!!!!! But, I don't absolutely need them so I have plenty of other things! :)


 Hope this was somewhat interesting!! It was part of the 30 day challenge... AND I FEEL TERRIBLE BECAUSE IT IS OVER MIDNIGHT RIGHT NOW, BUT I FEEL LIKE SINCE I HAVEN"T GONE TO SLEEP YET, IT DOESN'T COUNT!

Just a heads up...

Ok, so for the next coming week this is what I am going to TRY to do. . . Emphasis on the try :)

Ok, so I am going to post a nail polish review (I do not really have a big collection because I am JUST getting into nail polishes because my hands naturally shake. There is nothing I can do to stop it is just me! And for the longest time I had the hardest time understanding how someone could paint their nails a color with such a big brush with such a tiny nail! But I practiced and practice=almost perfect! YAY!)

I will try to post the daily challenge posts :)

I will try to post one review on a makeup product I am trying now (I don't want to tell you just yet!)

And, just whatever is going on in my life right now!

Side note: Comments and requests are always appreciated! I love hearing what you think about the blog or anything. . . If you want me to do a review on something or write about an issue or anything I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to hear anything :) Email me at julia.harris74@yahoo.com and if you can't send it to yahoo (sometimes if you don't have yahoo email you can't send to a yahoo address) send me an email at julia.harris151@gmail.com thanks!

Day 8

Today, I am supposed to blog about my favorite picture that makes me laugh... well here it is:

This makes me laugh because I was such a weird kid. I was that kid who everybody thought was weird. I would call people normal and call myself weird just because it made me different. I would wear mis-matching socks just to look weird. . . . . .  . And the big thing was that I would mispronounce people's names on purpose just to annoy them. . . . I was just a weird child and this picture makes me laugh because it reminds me how weird I was! I took this picture when I was living in France and we were visiting Amsterdam with my grandma and we were just about to go out to look at the annex of Anne Frank and I was waiting for my grandma to finish up putting on her lipstick (is it just my grandmas or is every grandma obsessed with putting on lipstick and having their "pocketbook" with them! comment below if this is the case or otherwise!) and her camera was on the bed so I decided to take some weird pictures :) This is not what I look like now. . . . This is what I look like:


And here I am making another funny face!! YAY!!!!!!! Hope this blog was a little interesting. . . if not I hope the pictures were at least a LITTLE entertaining :)

Day 7

IT FINALLY HAS BEEN A WEEK! YAY! And this week, I haven't really made many blogs because when school begins a new week, I get really busy! BUSY BUSY BUSY! And I normally want to excersice more so I am taking time away for that, and for blogging, and then homework, and then SLEEP!

So today, I am going to talk about the person that inspires me the most. I know a lot of people who inspire me personally but since none of you probably know them, I am going to say a famous person! So the person that inspires me the most is probably Tyra Banks, the model. I know this might sound silly but she has done so much with her life and she owns her own TV show and she hosts and created America's Next Top Model (WHICH I LOVE!) And this show is all about helping other model's! How nice is that!? She also is really down to earth nice person! She isn't a fake who gives money to a lot of charities and then acts like they can do whatever they want... she helps people and charities PLUS she is a funny down to earth person :) It also inspires me because she came from somewhere that was abusive and everything bad and she made something off of it and helps others. She inspires me because she is so successful now because she made herself successful by herself.... :) Tell me who inspires you!

Day 6

So now, I am going to do a blog on anything in Lush. . . So since I have just recently started to like Lush, I don't really have a lot to talk about since I have only used a few of their/its products, but I used the Avobath Bomb and it was soooo cool! I put a review up and its called "New Update" so if you are interested in that one, go read it! :) so I also used the Ceridwen's Cauldron. It is this soap thing covered in this fish net thing tied around with a string... It smells so much like lavender... which is my favorite scent : ) Here is the description from the website:

Magical, relaxing melt for softer skin.

Helen invented the bath melt and this is as wonderful as you can get. We recommend lots of candles around the bathroom and the phone turned off for this one. Each melt is wrapped in muslin, dipped in wild flowers and tied with a ribbon.

Enchanting potion of oats, lavender and sandalwood.

According to the spell it is based on, if you spit three times in the water, your wish will come true. Cocoa butter and walnut oil melt into the bath-water, frothing slightly, leaving you a muslin bag of whole oats to give your skin a soothing and gently scented scrub.



The thing where it says about spitting in your bath tub. . . ummm I don't know about thatttttt. . . but all the other stuff is true! It is really relaxing and it gives off a great aroma of lavender and since it has bits of oats, that is really good for your skin I think : ) Bottom line is I would definitely repurchase this.... but I really want to try different products first before I buy the same ones again : )

Fun and Educational

So, for Valentine's Day my dad got my mom an iPad! Let me tell you right now that these are the coolest things on the planet!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't have an iPod or an iPhone or anything except my laptop (so my laptop basically substitutes for all those so I don't want or need an iPod,, unless I borrow my sister's when I excercise which is never hahahhaa but I am getting back into the swing of things!) ANYWAY, I don't really feel the need for an iPod but seriously, the iPad is super cool :) My mom doesn't have a lot of apps because she is still trying to learn how to use it (hahaha she doesn't really know how to work electronics!) and so my sister and I downloaded this free app for scrabble! And I do not like this game on the board at all. I think it is a boring board game that is for old people. But on the iPad it is a whole different story!! It is so fun and it is educational (I hope! But, it is better than going on facebook!) So the bottom line is, I love scrabble on an iPad :) Me and my sister and my dad play all the time now and it is really fun and (when we go on vacation, we normally drive wherever we have to be. . .  once we were in this small, cramped car for 20 hours straight. . . it was R-O-U-G-H ) but it is going to be a really good car game :) JUST SAYING! Comment below if you have an apple device that allows you to buy apps like this

Also, you can play scrabble online, or against other people... SO FUN!

Break Time!

So, now that there is a new school week again (GOD BLESS THE WEEKENDS!) I have to start homework again (because normally I get my homework done as quickly as I can on Friday and then have a relaxation weekend.. normally) and now, I am doing my homework (or taking a break from it) and writing a blog! It is going to be about. . . a new snack.

So, now that I am trying to eat healthier because summer is almost coming (and almost to me, means 4 months!) and 4 months isn't always enough time to get toned because I am a big procrastinator when it comes to important stuff. . . so, I have recently been eating a TON of avocado because supposedly it is good for your skin and it is a vegetable and it is green, my favorite color! So, I always put in avocado in salads for dinner (because usually every night I have a salad with something) and so recently I have been eating half of an avocado, and these pretzel thins (baked because I THINK that is healthier, but if not please correct me on that!) and I dip the pretzel thins in it and there we go! It used to be guacamole (avocado, mayonnaise, salt, lemon juice, pepper) but I got too lazy making that so it is just avocado. I hope this snack is healthy because I have been eating it a lot, but I am pretty sure it is healthy because I eat a vegetable so yea. . . if that is bad for you, I always have an apple a day because every time my grandma comes to visit my house she always makes me eat apples everyday and I have just been into the habit of eating an apple once a day (or try to eat one. . . I do not eat an apple every single day of the year, but I try to, probably 4 out of the 7 days of the week I eat an apple!)


Also, I have been trying to stay away from the boxed things and snacks you find in a pantry (besides the pretzels) I say to myself "If it is in a box or if you find it in the pantry, don't eat it" Or, if you find it in my pantry because some people keep different things in their pantries :) But I also remember that I am still 15 so I can eat whatever I want and I do! But, recently I have been eating healthier! ! ! ! !

Day 5

Ok, I can't believe it has only been 5 days! It feels like it has been 2 weeks! I totally have summer fever if that is a real thing but in my head this is what it means:

Summer Fever: The act of being excited for summer and warmth that your head explodes and the weeks start to go slower. . . .

If you have any other way to describe that, let me know! :D


Ok, anyway, the real reason for this blog was not to give the definition for summer fever, but to blog on my 5th day of the 30 day challenge: What is my favorite thing to do. . . this is a pretty broad question, but I think over all I would say hanging out with people, new people, family, friends, anybody :) But, I think that would be anybody's favorite thing (or the majority, but if it isn't that is fine too!) So, I am going to narrow it down a little. I think my favorite thing to do would probably be going to the beach! Where I live, there are no great beaches so I am in need of a beach! But when I visit my grandparents (Which is probably once a year) I go to the beach with them and I think that pretty much  highlights my whole year (unless I did something outrageous like go skydiving or something but right now, lets just go with a normal year!) I love the beach. It is warm, there is sand in between your toes, you get to tan, there is nice, fresh water, you get to pretend to be a kid again and build sandcastles and have no body give you weird looks (ok, people give me weird looks but WHATEVER!) there are cute boys, and last but totally not least, I just feel happier when I am at the beach. I don't know, maybe it is teenage year emotional rollercoaster, but I always feel happy and refreshed and just free and open again when I am at the beach. Does that make sense at all? Also, I love the beach because whenever I go it is always an outing with my family.


My Family's Beach Necessities:

1. Big huge bag
2. Too many towels
3. Mats to put your towels on so they won't get all sandy
4. Big huge umbrella
5. Snacks: Triscuits, Pringles, Juice Boxes, Cool Ranch Doritos (And these are the only snacks we bring, I don't know why not others, but it always has to be these snacks. . . . weird)
6. Sun Tan Lotion
7. My mom's bag
8. My sister's bag
9. My bag (which normally consists of seventeen magazine, Herbal Essence Tousle Me Softly (SO PRETTY FOR BEACHY WAVES!) Book, and Towel etc.
10. Beach Chairs

SO. . . with all that stuff to bring, it is pretty much like we are going to live at the beach :) But I love going to the beach and I am somewhat glad that I don't live near the beach because then I would know I would go all the time until I am sick of it! And I don't want to be sick of it! My cousins, for example, live near the beach, and every time we visit them my family and I are always like "LETS GO TO THE BEACH!" and my cousins are always like "No, I don't like the beach it is too sandy, and we have been there so many times it isn't fun anymore" Has that ever happened to you with something you loved. Like if you got a trampoline and for the first few weeks you were jumping 24/7 but then after a month you got so sick of it??? Comment below if something like that has ever happened to you :)

But anyway, my favorite thing to do is go to the beach, wether it is swimming, tanning, sleeping on the sand, building sand castles (or my personal favorite, to build a hole as deep as you can until you can jump in it and have the edges be above your head! IT IS SO FUN, TRY IT!)
But to conclude, I LOVE THE BEACH!!!

ME + BEACH = HAPPY JULIA!!!



Comment below and tell me what your favorite thing to do is :)

In your opinion...

Ok, so I really want to get back in the excersicing mood (not that I think I need to lose weight) Just I want to stay healthy and all that, and sometimes I like excersicing because it makes me happy and proud that I actually accomplished something haha :) So anyway, I really want to get an excersicing machine (either treadmill or elliptical machine) and first, I was wondering which one I should get... like is a treadmill more healthier and more efficient? or is an elliptical machine more efficient and healthier? Also, since I am going to be paying for the majority of the excercise machine, does anybody know a machine that is under $500??? AND does anybody know of a machine that is under $500 and it lasts more than one year? Because if I am going to spend a lot of money on something, I kind of want it to last a long time :) Thank you!!!! Don't be afraid to make requests on me to write about something! I would love requests :)

Also, thank you so much everybody for reading and commenting! Everytime I read a comment, it brightens my day a little! Thanks so much :) xoxo

My obsession for...

This post is going to be about my obsession for exclamation points!!!!!!! So, every time I click the button that says publish post, I then go and re-read it and then I always realize that I have about 50 exclamation marks... I don't really know why I add them in, I think maybe because when I talk, I normally have a naturally loud and energetic voice so that is why I feel the need to add the exclamation points to show that the sentence I write is meant to be read with an exciting voice... I am a weird person!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just have a natural reaction to put an exclamation point when I end a sentance... OR I do the period of ellipses........................ So to conclude:

This: !!!!!!!!!!!! Means to read it in an excited tone

and this: .... means that the sentence has ended and I am going to move on to another topic...

yea..............!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

P.S. I just realized that all the periods just look like a line ahaaha ok how about this: . . . . . . . . . . . . ! ! ! ! ! !

Rambling...

So, another random fact about me is that I love celebrating birthdays! I think they are really important in the year because it is a holiday specialized for YOU! Plus, you get older every year so that is always important too! Also, it is a day all about you! You rarely get days that are specifically designed for your purposes (and I am not saying you get to boss everyone around, I am saying that every one is like, Happy Birthday! to you all day and that is just something that makes me feel really special!) But anyway, this may be really weird and you do not have to do it, but if you want to, comment when your birthday is or email it to me at: julia.harris74@yahoo.com OR if that doesn't work julia.harris151@gmail.com and tell me when your birthday is and how old you are turning so when that day comes, I can wish you happy birthday! YAY! If you don't want to that, that is totally fine :)

My Goal

Ok, so I decided that I want to have 100 followers before June 9th, 2011. That will give me plenty of time and I am not sure about this but I have been thinking about giving a giveaway... I haven't thought about it a lot so I am just spit balling ideas right now so it may not even happen... But I don't know, I would have to think about it a lot, but I think that it would be really fun if I reach my goal before June 9th! What do you guys think? Should I make the date farther away from now or closer? Do you think I can do it? And what do you think about the give away? What are your thoughts on that... I haven't decided officially on the decision of the giveaway but I want to hear your thoughts on it :) Thanks! Happy Weekend!

Day 4

So, right now I am taking a break from studying biology... yahoo!

So today, I am supposed to write about my favorite makeup product I wish I had... which is Urban Decay Primer Potion. I have heard so many great reviews about this product and it is supposed to be a really great primer for your eyes... which I am in dire need of! (ok maybe not dire but I really want it!) Every single day, I put on my eye makeup and at the end of the day when I shut my eyelids there is nothing but different colored streaks (the colors of the eyeshadows I put on) and it looks really unatractive and I really wish I had this product so I can stop that from happening :) But for now, all I have is concealer. I am thinking about getting this product for my sister because she is getting into makeup like I am (she is 18) and so I am thinking about buying it for her first so I can see if she likes it and then I might get it for myself... but one problem is that I don't drive ( I am 15 and yea I know I am supposed to already know how to drive, but I find driving terrifying and so I am not going to learn how to drive unless I absolutely need to which is probably going to be after college but I don't know!) But anyway... I really want this product but I can't drive myself to the mall that is half an hour away and yesterday, I was only looking for the jacket so I didn't have time to go into Sephora. But yea... I might buy this product soon but I don't know... if you have this tell me about it! Is it a good buy, is it going to prevent creasing like everybody says it does? Anything, I would love to hear your comments!

Versatile Blogger Award

So, someone nominated me for the versatile blogger award! Yay :) Thank you so much, http://sarahbeyea.blogspot.com/ (everyone, go to this blog, her blog is really great and super fun to read!)

Ok, so know I am supposed to share seven things about myself:
1. I have 2 dogs, named Cody and Soleil (Soleil means sun in French)
2. I love to learn about different cultures, so I am taking two languages at my school (French and Spanish) as regular classes, and I am the only one in my whole high school who is doing that :)
3. I am a total obsessive neat freak. My room is always spotless clean (ok maybe like 95% of the time, it is not clean if I am reorganizing :P ) Yea.. I am such a neat freak, I alphabetize my books........ I AM A WEIRD CHILD!

You who is reading this blog post, and who has been reading this whole blog. Thank you so much everybody!

Just a Quick Thing....

So there is this great blogger who I just came across of (and if you are looking for a giveaway) or if you like to read about makeup and all that (like me!) then go follow her or read her blog posts!! It is a really great blog!

http://makeupandhairfrenzy.blogspot.com/

Go to this website and look up My First Giveaway to go to the giveaway.. or just go to the website and read her posts!

What I am doing...

So right now I am sitting in my den (well, I call it the tv room haha) and I am watching Friends. It is such a funny show and it is just the type of tv show you watch with your mom and sister (which I am doing right now haha) so I am sitting here, on my couch, laughing my head off. Aaaaaah good times, gooooooooood times :)

Shopping!

So today, I went to the mall with my parents! It was so fun! We went to lunch at this great Italian place (I ordered this spicy shrimp in a peppercorn sauce... mmmmmmmm it was so good) So we went to William Sonoma (for my mom) and Crate and Barrel (for my mom also haha she loves those kinds of stores!) And we went to Lacoste (for my dad, but we just looked in, we didn't buy anything) We also stepped in Sephora (my mom and my dad got face cream, and with the cost of those together my mom got to get two little gifts/samples and she gave them to me! Wasn't that so sweet!? It was a little tube of Too Faced Face Primer, it is supposed to give a natural, finished look to your face and I can't wait to use it, but I don't know exactly how much I should use... but I will figure it out :) And also she got a sample of this hello kitty purple glittery eyeliner. The thing is, it is a great size, but it is actually a pencil, when you sharpen it there is actually shavings... and I don't really like those kinds because personally, I think they hurt my eyes a little... But then we went to Nordstrom's (for my dad, nothing really intersting) and then.... my parents wanted to give me a little something (for some things that have been going on in my life right now) so my mom, my dad, and I chipped in and we got this coat from Macy's. The picture isn't exactly like it but it is pretty much the same thing except there are no double buttons, just single ones, and there isn't buckles on the sleeves. But the color is the same, and the rest is the same! I am so happy because I needed a spring coat! It is soooo nice!


It might be a little blurry but if you go on Micheal Kors Website and look up the jackets you might see a clearer version... but whatever!

And just as a side note, I am not trying to brag ONE BIT! I just want to share my day with you and personally, I love watching Hauls on Youtube and I love to read blogs on what people buy and what kind of clothes they buy :) So I am not bragging at all in any way :) Thanks!

Day 3

So today I am supposed to post about my favorite magazine which is.. Seventeen magazine. I love this magazine because you get free prizes if you enter, they give you tips on your makeup, they give you routines for exercising, they give you good diet tips/healthy snacks, they give you product reviews, clothing advice, what to buy and what not to buy, outfit ideas, they give you reviews on styles, they give you dating advice (very helpful! :P ) they give you embarrassing moment articles, sometimes fun little quizzes, and articles on celebrities! Basically a teenager guide for life! (just kidding!) But it is so fun to just read when you have time or read it in the bath (people think I am crazy, but when I am in the bath with Lush stuff or something, what is really relaxing is to read! Maybe that is just me, but I find that I cannot take a bath without reading!) Ok, anyway. I love seventeen magazine because it is like 100 pages and they give you all these tips! YAY! And also, there is a website and it is really fun to go on :)
You all probably know what the magazine is but I am just saying! :)

Day 2

Ok so today I is my favorite bag. I don't have many bags right now but right now I am using a Vera Bradley bag... I have a picture in one of my other blogs (I think called What's in my purse) And I talk about it. But I like this bag because it fits everything I want in it even though it is small... I am probably going to change my purse to a more spring-y one but that will be in the future. Right now I am using this one:
So right now this is my favorite bag :) YAY!

My very serious issue....

So right now I absolutely cannot go to sleep right now so I am going to just ramble on and on! Don't we all love that!? Uhhhh...?

So I wanted to bring up this issue that is very serious, tragic, and severe:

A month ago I was at school and I went to see my guidance counselor (Everyone in my grade has to go to the guidance counselor at least twice before the year ends) So it is an hour before lunch and I am not that hungry. Just usual self. Well I go in there into this tiny little room with the counselor and we have a chat about school and life and bla bla bla :) and then... out of no where... MY STOMACH STARTS GRUMBLING AND RUMBLING! AND I COULDN'T STOP IT! IT WAS SO EMBARRASSING! What do you do in those types of situations? Do you laugh about it!? Do you try to ignore it but when you hear it there is an awkward silence (which is what exactly happened!) It was so embarrassing. So after I leave I am like okay it is okay, it was just one time, no worries, she knows that lunch is almost coming up.
Well, a couple weeks ago I have to go back. It is again before lunch. As we start talking my stomach rumbles and grumbles again! I get so embarrassed that I try to suck in my stomach to try to stop the sound so I am looking extremely awkward in her chair and my stomach is making noises and I am trying not to laugh and my face is all red and messed up... so I leave and I am thinking that I can never see her again... SO MORTIFYING
Well, yesterday I go again for one last meeting and you know what happens? You guessed it, MY STOMACH RUMBLES! And this is after lunch, I am not at all hungry (and the past three times I haven't been hungry at all either!) And it becomes so awkward and I just don't know what to do!? I can't prevent my stomach from doing this unless I cough non stop but that is not an option.... It was mortifying (and also, these are not rumbles that are quiet, it is like I ate a microphone and it is on full volume with speakers and everything)

It is so embarrassing! And I seriously do have an issue... I don't know what to do! :P Lol.... But seriously... I will not be surprised if my counselor calls my parents to ask if they are feeding me correctly :D (which they do!) What I am truly scared about if I am on a date or I am at the movies and my stomach starts talking! WHAT WILL I DO! OH WHAT WILL I DO!? :)

I think this post has reached the top most weirdest topic that was written :)

Day 1

One thing a lot of people don't know about me is that I used to live in Paris, France. (I am not going to tell where I live now because that is personal and unsafe) I lived there for 2 years and I think it was one of the best times in my life. I had new experiences, new languages, new cultures, new friendships (which I still have) and without living there, I know I would have been a completely different person than I am today. I lived there when I was in 4th and 5th grade and I met the 2 most important people in my life right now. They are my best friends and I will always have them in my life. Another way it affected me was that I now am bilingual ( I am still learning! So I am totally not 100% fluent!) I think this is so cool and it is one more thing to add to the list of what to say to colleges! (AAAAH! COLLEGE!) This time in my life helped me experience things that not a lot of people get to experience and I am so thankful for it. My family and I have already been to Paris to visit our old neighborhood and our friends 3 different times and it is such a blessing! I am so thankful!

If you want to ask me more about it I would love to answer your questions or just discuss it with you! Email me at julia.harris74@yahoo.com or just leave a comment! Thanks! 

30 Day Challenge...?

Ok, so there is this thing going around the blogger (blogspot?) google! That is called the 30 Day Challenge!

So I am going to try to commit to this every day for the next 30 days! Wish me luck!(also something weird happened with the font... I don't know how to fix it!) 

As the days go by, I will be crossing off this list so if you just come here randomly and see a whole bunch of lines crossed out this is why! :) 

Any Ideas?

So, I just started this blog and it is super fun! I love to write, I love to share my thoughts, and I just like to goof off :) But the thing is, right now I only have 5 followers (which I am extremely thankful for! Thank you guys so much for following me and reading my blogs/essays!) Does anybody know what I can do to make my blog be a little more popular? Suggest me to your friends maybe? I just don't know what else I can do... have different posts maybe? Thanks, and comment below any time I love to hear your thoughts and comments on anything!

New Update!

Ok, so recently I talked about the Lush projects I bought. I used 2 out of the three products I mentioned. Well, recently I used the Avobath Bomb. And it was so cool! It literally turned my bath water green! Not tinted green.. but GREEN! G-R-E-E-N! It was so cool! It smelled really great and it was so relaxing and it has avocado in it so it is fantastic for your skin! It was really great and I recommend it!

Stay tuned for a review later when I use the Ceridwen's Cauldron! Can't wait!

Just a Simple Question...

Ok, so I would say I have a reasonable size makeup collection (but there is also no hurt in adding on to it!) but I have been needing a good quality makeup brush for all over the face for an everyday use for powder (and maybe blush/bronzer occasionally) but I am a very frugal person and thinks a lot before I buy something expensive. So I have been looking at MAC Cosmetics and I saw that the 134 Paddle Brush is a good fit but it is $52.00
Ok, $52.00 seems a lot for just one brush. Does anybody either know a good replacement for something cheaper but just as good? Or, what are your thoughts if you have it. Is it really worth it?

Also....

If anyone wants me to do a blog on a certain topic or anything like that please email me at: julia.harris74@yahoo.com (it might say a different email somewhere else but this one I would prefer!) but yea just email me, and also tell your friends about this blog so it can be really popular! YAY! Someday (in the far future) I would like this blog to be really popular so I can keep writing :) I love writing and my dream is to be an editor (but this might change because I am still young but as of right now I would love to be an editor) but ANYWAY! For my blog to become popular, that would mean I would have some followers and people to know about me! So please tell your friends, family, even enemies if you want :) THANK YOU!

A Weird Favorite

Soooooo... I am back, and it is not night time! YAY! ACCOMPLISHMENT!
just kidding :)

But, for the past week, I have been sick (nothing severe just a bad cold and a fever) and I literally felt like I was going to fall apart or explode (one or the other) and the only thing that would help me was Cranberry Juice! It is really tasty and it is super healthy for you but it also fits in sugar so it is all one neat package! I think, that in this past week when I have been trying to get myself better and start to go on a healthy diet (because it is springtime! Normally people think ohhh flowers! Nope! Normally, women are rushing to get in shape! But I will talk about that in another blog) anyway, this past week I probably drank 3 of the big bottles of cranberry juice BY MY SELF! And I am 15 almost 16 so that is kind of a lot for one person :) Also, I really like it because it flushes out all the toxins and nonsense from your body so that's a plus too!

What do you think of Cranberry juice?
