Who I Am…

I come from traveling and waiting at baggage claim

From mom’s house to dad’s house

I am from “Where am I going to be for Christmas?”

From “Is it Dad’s weekend or Mom’s?”

I am from movies & TV shows with Mom

From Glee, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, and New Girl

I am from Mom’s house to Dad’s condo

The smell of fresh cooked dinner every night

I am from the banana tree in my Grandma’s front yard in Hawaii

The nearby palm trees whose long limbs I remember as if they were my own

I am from holiday cookie parties

From always getting a new nut-cracker every Christmas

I’m from “Front and center” and “How was your day?”

And from “Don’t be scared because fear causes hesitation, and hesitation causes your worst fear to come true”

I am from laughter to inside jokes with friends

I am from Disney movies, Disney land, Disney world, and DISNEY

I am from Austin and Germany

From country style dinners to salmon green tea soup

I am from family to school to sports to my second family, also known as my friends

And thats me…    

Country Style Pork Ribs

Social Media

The real challenge of social media is creating growth of present and future opportunities. Social media takes too much time away from the real world. Some people care more about there online/social life than their friends and family in their real life. With social media creating all these apps and products, people are becoming more and more sucked into their social life.

One of the most common social media site is Facebook. People spend over 500 billion minutes per month on Facebook. More than 25 billion pieces of content (web links, news stories, blog posts, notes, photo albums, ect.) is shared each month. More than 100 million active users currently accessing Facebook are doing it through their mobile devices. People that access Facebook via mobile device are moe active than non-mobile device users.

Another common site in the world of social media would be Twitter. Twitter gets more than 300,000 new users each day. There are currently more than 200 million users on Twitter. Over 60% of Twitter users are outside the U.S. More than one third of Twitter users access the app or website via their mobile device.

The Basics

Basics: What every girl needs, the essentials to start your wardrobe.

Step One: Know your “basics”. Your basic colors will be black, white, different shades of grey, and navy blue. These will make it easier to match with the brighter clothes in your closet. For example you can throw on a pair of jeans, some black combat boots, a white t-shirt, and spice it up with a nice bohemian scarf full of bright colors. Also, don’t think you have to wear one basic color at a time, switch it up and wear grey and black, then some other bright article of clothing.

Step Two: Now that we have our colors down, this works for all articles of clothing. I am talking about the basics for shoes, pants/shorts, shirts, and accessories. Ex: put on some black leggings, grey boots, grey scarf, and top it off with an orange and navy blue chevron top. You can even have some leggings, a light grey t-shirt, and some funky color shoes. Spice up your outfit with a big statement necklace in a fun, bold color.

Step Three: HAVE FUN WITH IT!!! A big part of using the basics is how you use your brighter colors. Like I said before, throw a little spice in your outfit with a big statement necklace, a cute scarf, or a big bow. In fact you can mix it up and throw on your orange jeggings, your bright pink graphic tee, maybe even your purple boots. Helpful tip, don’t wear the last things I just listed together.
