Swallow Creek: My book.

Sorry for not updating in a while... I have been busy. California was AWESOME! The drive home I got a lot accomplished, meaning: my book! I didn't finish it, but I got at least 3 chapters in. And now I'm on chapter 17. I'm moving forward and it's awesome. I recently got a twitter... well, before California but who cares! It's so awesome that my books is expanding and getting more and more interesting. I'm planning on it being a best seller; a hit in America; a hit worlwide! Hopefully I can make that happen. I have to finish the book first. :) It takes a lot of coffee and music to get me through a chapter, Plus the motivation I get from my friends and family. I also pray to God that he will make this happen for me. It will be my dream come true! This is gonna be a turning point for me in my life I can't wait to share it with the world! More updates coming soon! :) :)

California!!

Sorry I haven't blogged in a while. I've been busy writing and I'm now on chapter 13 of my book. I also got a twitter and it's featured on my blog, so come and follow me! Any way... I will get to what the title of the post says, CALIFORNIA!! Yes, I'm leaving in three days with my best friend! Were going to so many places, it's gonna be a blast! I know were going to Hollywood, Santa Monica, Indian Wells, Palm Springs, and some little surfer town on a beach. I haven't even started packing! Wow. Since I have a twitter... it makes it a little easier to see what Jesse McCartney and Justin Bieber are doing. (I am now into Justin Bieber) I keep on including their names in my "tweets" so hopefully they will "tweet" back! That would be cool. So anyways, I'm reading a really good series right now, Christy Miller series! All my friends (most of them) recommended them to me, and they are seriously really good! If you want to look for them at Borders or your local library here is the information you'll need:

Religions and stuff.

Ok, so first of all, my teacher is having us write this HUGE paper about a certain religion. I chose Mormonism. (I am a christian) It is to help us in Highschool since there will be different religions of people trying to convince people to come to their cult, religion or what not. Sooo... again I chose Mormonism and I am reading three books about it. They aren't boring at all. I mean, it's about how to talk to a morman (Notice how I didn't capitalize the "m" on mormon. LOL) Sooo yah. Anyway, today is Sunday and that means RUSHING. Rushing around getting ready for church (doesn't take that long) but then I have to rush getting all my math redos done. (I don't have that many... but...yah) Rush getting all the homework done that is due the next day and everything. I have to stop this habit if I am going to high school (Which I am) because I gotta do the homework the day it was assigned. (That's what I have to do with math) Any ways, so... like some science homework was assigned on Thursday... it's due on Tuesday. I could have had it done on thursday night and not have to worry about it on Monday. I gotta stop putting my homework off to the last day. I won't have a lot of free time in highschool if I keep on doing this. Well... I hope I get into the habit. I am gonna start tomorrow when something is actually assigned.

Yo, Daddio, We are in the 21st century!!

Ok, my dad got a laptop about a month ago... he has a touch screen cell phone (which he uses constantly for business) But he doesn't know how to do the simplest things like title a blog post. He knew what a blog was, he just was confused about what it was all about. It was to funny, He's all like, "This whole bit is nuts!" Just like web page creating and stuff for his business. It's super funny watching him and listening to my sister and my mom laugh at the things he says. My mom called him a "fuddy-duddy." It's pretty funny. Any ways... gonna go back to writing,

For girls... (Light Essentials)

Ok, I'm into the light make up and natural look but still I like make up. Sooo... this is what I do, and I hope you take this into consideration as well.

1. ALWAYS wash your face every night from make up.

2. Tone or cleanse your face with astringent.

2. moisturize your face and lips with a good moisturizer.

3. Take some foundation (DO NOT CAKE IT ON, WE ARE TRYING TO GO FOR THE NATURAL LOOK) Put 1 to 2 layers of foundation on. Make sure it's your skin color or 1 tone away from your face. You don't want to get a paler color of foundation if your skin is darker.

4. Put some light powder on your face to keep it from looking oily (Sometimes, this step isn't necessary)

5. Take some eye liner and JUST outline your eye. you don't need it super black and make the line around your eye super thick. You don't wanna look goth if your going for the natural look. Just slightly put it on.

6. Eye shadow, you don't want to go for the bolder and solid colors for every day o'natur-el look, what you need is some nude shades or light pinks or pale browns. Then a slightly darker color for the crease of your eye lid.

7. Mascara, I had trouble with this one in seventh grade. I got some blue mascara and that was to much for me, well, it wasn't in seventh grade but now it is. What you can do is either get some clear mascara or some brown mascara, or some black mascara. I have black and waterproof is always the best. All you do is put it on your eye lashes.

8. Lip gloss. I used to wear bright red lipstick to school, and I go to a private school and I'm only in 8th grade. Then I was introduced to Bath and Body Works lip gloss. I always knew about it, but when I got some for Christmas, I never went back to lip stick again. I only wear it for fun now.

and the cycle re-begins. I hope that these simple make up tricks worked. I will probably post a video tomorrow.
