Entry #3 REFRESHMENTS

 Has anyone ever had a pizza date before? The garlic and onion type of date. Everyone knows you need some essentials for afterwards, right? When you think about freshening up what do you prefer; blasted with a cold breeze or getting chills on your whole body?

With the luck I had that day, I had no refreshments. Luckily my date pulled out a circle plastic container. The rattling in the container made it known it had plenty of freshness in there for me. I got a little circle detailed with green crystals all over them. It looked very shiny and to pretty to eat! The little crystals remind me of little green emerald crystals.

      I then lifted my hand to my mouth to get an instant loud crunch followed by it melting in my mouth. Instantly getting chills throughout my whole body. It felt like I got hit with a cool breeze in a winter storm!

Cold concept.

As I savored the flavor in my mouth as the coolness seeped through the roof of my tongue, I felt the cooling sensation with a hint of a spicy residue left behind. With immediate satifastion I smiled. Then suddenly it was to refreshing. I then immediately started quenching for thirst. I learned my mistake as soon as I took that first sip! My entire throat turned numb with a sharp cooling sensation. Leaving behind a lingering coolness of freshness.

The freezing cold breeze that refreshed the garlic and onions definitely was the highlight of the night! It sparked a memory that we can always remember for our first date. We like to get a refresher every single time we eat now because it's that good!

Entry #2 Organizing Advice

 Do you have clutter in your room? Is your closet overfilling with clothes you don't wear? Well maybe its time to declutter! There are so many benefits of being organized at home with no clutter. Sometimes we just need some motivation to get cleaning. Whats your motive to clean? Mine is way to many shots of espresso.. Overall It’s important to first understand the difference between decluttering and organizing. As stated by Julianna people need to declutter more before they even begin! The benefits are endless, To start with it helps boost your self-confidence. When you have everything organized you feel more in control of your life, it helps create a more functional and aesthetically pleasing living space. It is very important to take care of your environment because when our living space is organized , our minds are able to concentrate and that would decrease our stress levels tremendously. If your workspace is cluttered you might struggle to accomplish your assignments or your daily goals.  Also being organized helps you save money!

As stated by Ashley i agree, The thought of making my bed in the morning always puts me in a happy mood and already feel accomplished. When you go to sleep at night, Do you have a pile of clothes you shove over the bed when you lay down? or Is your desk full of unorganized papers? As soon as you wake up your going to overwhelm yourself before you can even get up. So it is very important you take this seriously and try getting organized!

Entry #1 - All About Me!

 

Anybody here a lover of sports? I sure am, I am so excited to tell you all a little bit of myself! I enjoy softball, soccer, tennis, and volleyball. These activities not only keep me physically fit, but they allow me to clear my mind and relieve stress. It is important to include physical activities into daily routines for a healthy and balanced lifestyle. Don't you agree? I try to be consistently physical and what helps me is playing sports with my friends! I am especially fond of softball!  The fast paced game with my teammates made it so exciting. 

Aside from sports, I have a passion for baking. Ever since I became a mom it's not only a hobby but it's a way I can express my love to my son. My favorite part is when he's helping me in the kitchen measuring the flour and learning how to crack an egg. Core memory for us because we're always going to remember that! The joy on my son's face makes the hard recipes worth it. 

Besides baking, my biggest joy in life is being a parent to my son. Being a mother has taught me so much patience, selflessness , and unconditional love. However it is a big responsibility and lots of sleepless nights. Since I am a full time college student and a full time mom it is extremely difficult to maintain my sanity! Just kidding.. According to Kripke it is important that mothers take care of their physical and mental health to ensure that their children are healthy, as well.  I agree, I try to stay on top of my mental health because it maintains a healthy and balanced life for my family. Due to this I'm starting to do yoga early in the mornings to get my mind right and I prioritize it everyday! 

To wrap things up, I hope everyone is prioritizing their mental and physical health because it is extremely worth it!

Blog: Practice Entry

I found all the blogs I read very interesting but the two that stood out to me were “Small Business TRENDS” by Anita Campbell and “People” by Charlotte Triggs. The blog about small business guides you on every step of the way on how you should get started, how to market your business, and how to budget. It's the perfect blog to start a business. I like how organized it is and there's so many options to choose from to read. An interesting thing is they have a business calculator and it's super easy to use! Using this business loan calculator is very simple and easy. All you have to do is adjust the sliders of the business loan calculator for “Loan Amount,” “Interest Rate (%),” and “Term” to view your estimated monthly payment and total cost of the loan. Published from the article showing how easy it is to use. The author's purpose is to give advice in a beginner's way. I know the author's choices regarding her images and to help visualize her audience on what's going on in the article. Her style of organization in her website is most useful for beginners because it gives the audience a step by step and which topic you want to learn more about, it's easily accessible. The blog about People is mostly celebrity gossip. It has no educational use, The blog is not organized at all, there's different stories in small places. Plus it is crammed with ads nonstop. It's hard to scroll through without an ad video popping up taking me to a different website if you don't properly exit it. The author's choices of images is to have the audience intrigued to click on it to read. Although it might have some good gossip it has irrelevant stuff such as Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce kissing on the field. Kelce and Swift, both 34, shared a sweet kiss on the field as the Kansas City Chiefs celebrated their big win over the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC Championship. This was quoted by the blog "PEOPLE", this blog is clearly only celebrity news and gossip!
