Talking to Tweens about makeup? If your young daughter cannot check herself from observing the makeup aisle at the neighborhood drug store or the superstore then it is probably time to consider how you will talk to your tween daughter about the issue of makeup. Many companies manufacture makeup for girls; choosing a company is probably not a difficult task for you. But there are many things to consider and discuss before you allow your kid daughter to get introduced to the world of cosmetics.

Note Taking Methods for Creative Learners
Gone are the days of Cornell, two-column notes. Note taking is no longer just a sequential presentation of a summary of information. These note taking methods for creative learners give new, innovative ways to present information. Note Taking Methods for Creative Learners Sketch-noting A popular method of note-taking, sketch-noting, involves using images and words to illustrate learning. Sketch-noting can start simply with doodles or elementary sketches depicting ideas from lectures or readings, or it can get more complicated when students actually study how to take creative sketch-notes by practicing drawing certain icons or images.

What I Did on My Summer Vacation
Today is the first day of Junior High for me, and I am now officially an 8th-grade college student. One of the assignments every English teacher loves to give at the beginning of the year is an essay of "What I Did on My Summer Vacation". I thought I would jump the gun on it this year and share it with you as I had a busy, but fantastic summer! It started with my week on the University of Iowa campus for the Junior Scholar Institute. I did a writing workshop this year (Last year was Japan) and upped my skills while living in the dorm and connecting with other amazing young adults from across this country. We tried a few new restaurants this time, so we hit historic places like the Hamburg Inn #2. After that was my musical theater workshop - which didn't go so well. It cemented my desire to quit dance and move on to something else. (read about it here) The summer heat had really started to kick in by this time, and I cringed when I heard we were going camping for the weekend. … [Read more...]
