New Schedule until May

Hello Everyone,
I have a few things that I think will make it easier for me that I have to tell you about. It's almost April which means the end of the school year is almost here for me. If you've noticed recently I haven't been able to post as often as I would like because I've been busy with school and other activities and that's not fair to you. I have have come up with a new schedule to help me bring more content, better content to you at a more relaxed pace.
I will still be posting 3 days a week but only every other week. This week will start that. I will post 3 posts this week and then next I won't post even a single word. I feel like this will be beneficial to you as you will get more content that is at a higher quality and it will be beneficial to me because then I can focus on my schooling and trying to get a job to be able to go to Playlist next year. The normal schedule will resume a week after school gets out. 

Thanks for understanding. I'll see you on Wednesday!

Media Monday #23

Hello Everyone, 
Happy St.Patrick's Day!

Today I have one app to review for you, and some really awesome songs.

The one app that have today is Pinterest. I used to use this app all the time, but I have recently rediscovered this app. I found it great to get ideas for my future home, hairstyles, makeup tips, etc. It's has pretty much every thing on it. Now on to songs.

Human-Christina Perri
I've had this song and repeat for days. I've already choreographed a dance to this song. It's just such a raw and emotional song.The way the music gets really intense then soft again is really neat.

Drunk In Love- Beyonce
This song has been my jam for a few weeks now and I can't stop listening to it. Beyonce absolutely slayed with this song. It's so good and can't stop listening to it. 

That's it for this Monday! I'll see you on Wednesday for a makeup post. Sorry for being MIA recently I've been really busy with school and we had loads of standardized tests last week. I'm back now!

Men, Makeup, and Answers.

Hello Everyone,
Today I have something a bit different for you. I interviewed several of my guy friends and asked them a few questions about makeup and women. I got this idea from Nic and Sam Chapman from Pixiwoo. I didn't use all the questions they asked, in fact I made a few questions of my own.

1) Why do you think women wear makeup?

Sam,14: To make themselves more attractive

Jack, 16: To impress people

Tommy,16: because they want to look pretty

Zach,16: To enhance their beauty

Mitchell,16: To cover-up flaws

Connor,18: For different reasons, some girls wear it to stand out and really impress guys. Some wear it because that's what their mom did/does and her mom before her and so on. Some girls wear makeup because the world tells them aren't pretty enough without it.

Aden, 18:  I think women wear makeup to hide their imperfections because they insecure about their natural state even if their natural state is so beautiful.

Mark, 23: Part of it is pressure to conform to stereotypical beauty. Sometimes they just like to wear makeup to be confident


2) What makeup look do you like on women the most?

Sam: natural makeup

Jack: natural makeup

Tommy: natural makeup

Mitchell: natural makeup

Zach: heavy makeup. A smoky eye, red lips and some blush.

Connor: I like it when the girl wears a little lip gloss, light and thin contrasting eye shadow and that's it.

Aden:  I like a women with less to no makeup on their face because having the confidence to present their true natural self to the public is the sexiest thing in the world

Mark: next to no makeup

3) What keeps you interested in a woman/ what personality qualities make you attracted to them? 

Sam: how they are as a person

Jack: Wanting to do stuff for her

Tommy: Funny, cute, smart, outgoing, common interests

Mitchell: easy-going, not fake

Zach: funny, outgoing, sarcastic

Connor: I think a girl is attractive, personality wise, when she is happy. Sure, there are ups and downs in life, but when a girl is optimistic, I take notice

Aden:  Confidence and being effervescent are the qualities I look in a women because embracing the true self makes me engaged because I do not like a really really shy person who doesn't feel at all confident in the relationship and herself

Mark: intelligence, humor, doesn't take self too seriously

4) What makeup look do you not like a woman?

Sam: Caked on makeup

Jack: too much, over the top

Tommy: over the top

Mitchell: As long as your makeup is consistent, it doesn't matter to me.

Zach: bad fake eyelashes, colors that don't fit your skin tone.

Connor: I'm not a big fan of a bunch of makeup

Aden: cake face is really unattractive

Mark: heavy makeup and giant eyelashes

5) What is the first thing you notice about a woman's appearance? Personality?

Sam: Appearance is face

Jack: hair color/hair in general, unless their wearing something red. Manner of speaking

Tommy: face and common interests

Mitchell: hair, intelligence

Zach: eyebrows, styled hair, piercings and humor.

Connor: Laugh. I'm not sure what kind of smile/laugh combo I like most, I just know when I hear it and see it, man that girl is really pretty! Then my entire goal becomes making her laugh, because I love it so much. Personality: I guess I would say her reaction to me asking her how she was. I don't want some girl giving brutal or depressing honesty. Lie to me! Tell me what the struggles have been so far in the day and still say your feeling good. I guess the first thing I notice is how she handles the lows of life.

Aden: If they are lovable and down to earth. I get really unsure and turned off if she elaborates about her own personal gains and fortunes

Mark: face, hair, manner of speaking (vocabulary, accent) 

6) Do you think it's important for women to wear makeup?

Sam: No, I don't care if you wear makeup or not 


Jack: No it's not important unless trying to impress someone 



Tommy: No
















Mitchell: If you're going to do it be consistent 




Zach: No but it depends on the situation 


Connor: In general, no. Screw men really, let's see a guy spend 2 hours to look perfect for a girl who just eye rapes them.Personally not really. I love the whole natural look. It's Real. But I still prefer a touch of eye shadow and lip gloss.

Aden: I think it's not crucial at all because the only makeup they need is their genetic makeup ;) 

Mark: No, they shouldn't feel like they have to wear makeup 




There you have it folks! We finally learn what men really think about our makeup choices and how we are as people. I really hope you enjoyed this post, as I enjoyed putting it together and interview all the boys. I'll see you on Friday for my February favorites. Don't worry FGF will be up and running next friday! Have a good Wednesday and I'll see you on Friday.

Media Monday #22

Hello Everyone,
Happy President's Day/ Happy No School Day!! Today I have a few things to review for you. Lets Start with movies....

The Spectacular Now
On Saturday, I rented this movie because I had not seen it in theater. I'm glad I did not spend 10 dollars to go see this in the theater. This movie is about a boy named Sutter. Who is trying to apply to college but his girlfriend just broke up with him and so he goes out to parties every night. Then he meets this girl named Aimee who supposedly changes Sutter's philosophy about his life. I didn't really see Sutter's whole philosophy change. Sutter through out the movie, just appeared to be obsessed with his ex-girlfriend and he still got drunk and partied. The character development was crappy, the plot was crappy. It was a movie that after I watched said "Why did I just waste 2 hours of my life on that?"

Music is up next.

Dark Horse by Katy Perry featuring Juicy J 
My brother bought this on iTunes on Friday. I've been listening to it non stop since he bought it. It's such a good song. I can't wait to come up with a dance to this. This is definitely one of Katy Perry's better songs. The Juicy J part really does fit with the song. Sometimes rap doesn't mesh well with songs but Juicy J makes it work.

Talk Dirty to Me -Jason Derulo 
I first heard this song on the radio a few weeks ago and loved it. I didn't know what the name of the song was though. I searched and searched for this song until Sadie Hawkins. One of the girls in my group Sarah, told me what the song was called because it played at the dance. I don't know what it is about this song. The catchy background music, how well the it all comes together or what but I really love this song.

That's it for this President's day! I hope you enjoy your day off. If you don't have a day off then I hope you have a lovely school/work day! See you on Wednesday!

Media Monday #21

Hello Everyone,
It's once again a monday of the year 2014, which many of you know means a Media Monday! Today I have one movie, a few youtubers, and several apps to review for your reading pleasure.

Let's start with the movie.
This past weekend I saw the Monuments Men. It was very good. The all-star cast did a fantastic job and it was really intriguing. The locations where they shot the movie were breathtaking. The castle that the characters stop at in the movie is the castle that Walt Disney based Cinderella's castle on in the movie Cinderella and in the Magic Kingdom at Disney World.
There are several reasons why this movie was intriguing to me. The first and biggest of them was the premise. Something about a movie based on a true story with Matt Damon in it was really compelling. The second reason was that it was the kind of movie that made me want to do research. If I am actually moved to my computer to google about art lost in WWII by a movie, it was probably really good. It made me wonder how much culture was lost in the war through various means. George Clooney's character had a very thought-provoking line about how the Nazis didn't just want to kill the people they disliked, they wanted to make it seem like they had never existed. I thought about that line for a good long while. This was a new way to think about a lot of the things I'd learned about WWII in school.

On to Youtubers...
First up is a fifteen-year-old girl named Katie Joslin. I found her videos after she sent me a message on youtube asking me to check out her videos. I really liked what I watched. Katie does fashion and beauty mostly, and occasional personal videos.

Next up is Bunny Meyer from Texas. She had a youtube ad on a video I was watching and I decided to check her video out. Bunny also is mostly a beauty youtuber. What I liked about her videos was that she isn't the stereotypical beauty guru. She makes her videos funny and she doesn't do haul videos or anything. 

Apps...

Solitaire. I've been playing Solitaire (made by MobilityWare) for about a month. It's really my go-to entertainment when I have to wait for something nowadays. I play it before bed a lot. You don't need wifi to play this so that is a plus. 

Virtual Families 2 is the next app. It's like a knockoff Sims. I really like that I can own my own little family. I play this almost every day. It's just a little game to pass the time away. I also really enjoy it 

because it's one of the few game apps along with Solitaire  that require no wifi to play. 

Tumblr is the third app that I've been enjoying. I usually don't use tumblr that much, but this app has made me want to go on tumblr more often. It's much easier to reblog something by just holding down the button verses clicking 2 or 3 different buttons and going through like 10 different steps to reblog something. You obviously need wifi to run this app because Tumblr is on the Internet. 

An app called The Hunt is the fourth. If you watch MakeupbyMandy24 on YouTube you may have already heard of this app. What this app does is...if you find an outfit that you don't know where where the shirt or another item of clothing came from. You can take a picture of it and post it to this app and the community will help you find out where you can get it. This has come in handy since I've been on Tumblr more often. 

The final app is the Urban Outfitters app. I've recently loved looking at the clothes and apartment goodies they sell. This is app is set up very nice. It has a radio, news, you can find a store and shop all through this app.  

That's it for today! Have a good rest of your monday! See you on Wednesday for a Winter Formal 2014 post.

Sadie Hawkins 2014

Hello Everyone,
This past weekend was our school's Sadie Hawkins dance. I went with a few friends. We had dinner at my house, took pictures, played Uno and Apples to Apples then went to the dance.  Even though the actual dance itself was lame unless you wanted to vigorously grind on your date in the middle of the dance floor, which (call me crazy!) didn't sound appealing to me. It got me thinking why I go to or even want to go to these dances.
Reason One,
It's fun to dress up. Every once in a while its fun to dress up in a pretty dress, put on killer heels, get your makeup done special and go out.

Reason Two,
You get to go out, looking gorgeous, with your friends. When high school comes around you don't have much time to go out to every social event because of schoolwork and other activities. It's nice to have the opportunity to go hang out with our friends.

Reason Three,
Believe it or not, I kinda enjoy planning who's in my group, where we're eating, etc. It's fun to plan an evening that you know your friends will enjoy.

Well that's it for this-....Did you think I was gonna leave you without any photos? Nah, I'm not that mean. :)
