Water - 11 -

        What is water??? Water is a colorless, transparent, odorless, tasteless liquid that forms the seas, lakes, rivers, and rain and is the basis of the fluids of living organisms. What a definition, right? Well, as we all know, water is the most essential thing that keeps humans - or any other living creature - alive. Water keeps all your body parts hydrated from your blood cells to your skin. I can't stress enough how much water is very important to you.

        I know it's kind of weird to be typing a blog about water ... I mean, out of all things ... why water? Because I want to share with you guys how I drink so much water! On a daily average, you are supposed to be drinking 100 oz. of water. Can you believe that!? That's five 20 oz water bottles a day! But that's not so bad. I mean, I can drink four 16.9 oz water bottles a day, but I just choose not to drink the fifth. If I did, I'd be up all night rushing to the bathroom. But recently, I bought myself a reusable water bottle that can be filled with about 1000 ml of water. That volume is equivalent to 32 oz or 1 liter of water. So basically, I have to drink 3 of these reusable water bottles a day. I bet you re asking yourself "Kaitlyn! why are you drinking so much water?!" Well, let me tell you! I drink so much water because - like I said - it's very good for you. It helps me cleanse my body from harmful implements, clears skin of imperfections like pimples, and helps the circulation of hair follicles. It is also found that drinking water can help you lose weight. Not only these, but water helps with so many other things. It's almost like a medicine that is always at your disposal.
        For me, water is just a great substitute for soda. I barely even drink soda anymore and I really don't plan on drinking anymore in the near future. WATER ALL THE WAY.

Linda Hallberg (Makeup Guru) - 10 -

        I know in the past that I blogged about makeup and how it changes your appearance and features. But its hard to get the hang of it and make your makeup perfect. When I see makeup artists online and how perfect they look, I think about how long it took them to master that art. Lets all face it: makeup is an art that must be mastered. Girls, we really don't want to go walking around looking like clowns. So start with simple first, practice, and then grow into your own eccentric type of makeup look. I'll admit that my makeup is no where near perfect either; my eyeliner smudges and smears all the time, my foundation creases, my face becomes oily and shiny. All these things that I hate about my makeup, I have to learn to control and master.

        To get to the point, I've recently discovered a makeup artist by the name of Linda Hallberg. I believe she is situated in Sweden and is of Swedish origin. Even though I have no idea what she's saying in her videos and blog, she does a hell of a good job with her makeup. She knows her stuff when it comes to perfecting her face. In every picture, her makeup is flawless. But not only does she know how to use her makeup, she knows what products to use! That's the most important part: to know which products are the right products. I've noticed that she really likes to use NYX cosmetics. Personally, I love NYX also cause it's good quality makeup affordable. But other than that, she uses MAC and foreign products that normally are not sold in the United States. But that's besides that point! The point I'm trying to make is that Linda is an amazing makeup artist. You can tell that it took time to get to this level. Not only does she do makeup for herself, but her art has been seen on the faces of models along the Swedish runway. Like I said, she's a master at her skill! If you want to find more looks from Linda, just visit her blog or just go to Pinterest and type in her name in the search bar! I have to admit that I am a frequent visitor to her blog page. But the good thing is that she posts about or 3 new looks and product reviews a day! I love that about her blog; you really don't have to wait too long for the next update. Go search her up, you won't be disappointed! 

Summer ... - 9 -

        So, It's only a few months into winter and I can't wait for summer to come back. Does anyone share the same feeling as me? I mean, with all the cold weather, the ugly snow, and chilly nights ... I bet we all wish for summer to come back around again.

        I feel like Summer is something we all are looking forward to. The seniors in class will be moving on to college and starting their lives. The juniors are looking forward to being the top dogs in school, but maybe also ready to enjoy their last year in high school before the real world comes in. But after all those feelings, everyone still looks to summer for those three months of sleeping in, spending time with friends, late night barbecues, the warm weather, and the beach. It's a time away from the prison that we call school!

        What really made me want summer so badly are my midterms that are all coming up. We have to cram all this studying into one night for the test we have to take the next day. Plus these tests are 25% of our grade! That obviously puts a lot more pressure on students. So then behind all the stressing and studying, I thought about Summer. How I will not have to worry about tests, homework, studying, teachers, deadlines ... all those things that plague me during a regular school year are all gone during those precious two and a half - almost three months - of freedom. Don't tell me that you guys don't feel the same way. We all feel it, even the teachers.

       it's been only a few weeks into winter and I wish for summer. It will be months until Friday, June 21st.

 SUMMER!
