So I know I said I'd post pictures showing some of the days from from Spirit Week, but unfortunately I'm waiting for my friend to upload them so it might take a little longer than expected. So on to the next blog post!
Over the span of the last four blogs I think that I have a much better understanding of "blog writing". This more personal style of writing is harder than it looks, especially when you are taught to do the exact opposite in school.
In my opinion my best post would have had to be my first post which was about Polyvore.com, a fashion website that lets it's user give fashion advice. I think that that topic was one that I was the most familiar with, therefore I could write about it more easily. I have also become very familiar with their site so it was very easy for me to explain what it was.
On the other hand I think that my weakest post was my post about eco-friendly make-up. Even though I use a lot of the products that I was talking about, there wasn't any real information that I could find on why those brands were specifically animal friendly. I couldn't find much on their background.
I think to better my posts and my blogging skills, I need to read more experienced blogger's blog posts. I just need to get the "blog writing style" down. Besides that, I think I just need to keep writing! Hopefully, the more I write the better I will get at it.
PS. I will try my best to post picture updats from spirit week last week! I'm just trying to get everything together from all my friends cameras!

Spirit Week Fashion
So to all of my readers from Hercules High School we all know that it is Spirit Week! Since Spirit Week is this whole week and it is only Monday, I will try to update so that I have pictures from everyday. Here are the Spirit Days for the week:
Monday- Tie-Dye Day
Tuesday- Triplet Day
Wednesday- Mix-Match Day
Thursday- College Day
Friday- Theme Day
Even though people may think Spirit Week is unnecessary, I think that participation is not only necessary but fun! I hate it when people complain that their class has no spirit and then events, such as Spirit Week, come along and they have no spirit what-so-ever.
Spirit Week at Hercules High School is typically celebrated during a week in mid-October. It starts with, as I mentioned above, five themed spirit days, then ends with a home football game on Friday, and a Homecoming Dance on Saturday night.
As I said before, I will try my best to post pictures from every day on my blog for all of you to see. And though many may think Spirit Week is overrated, it is what you make it. Have fun with it, that's the key!

Look beautiful while being eco-friendly.
We all know that a lot of the make-up out there aren't made out of the most natural ingriedients in the world. I want to introduce you guys to a couple of brands of make-up that claim to be "high performance naturals". Brands such as "Tarte" and "Urban Decay", both sold online and in-stores, are se;f-acclaimed animal and eco-friendly make-up brands.
Eco-Friendly makeup is a great way to help out the environment. After trying a couple of products from both of these brands I have to say that they work exactly the same. In some cases they are actualyl a lot better quality that other brands.
But not only are the ingriedients in the products more natural but the way they are packaged are most consumer friendly as well. Tarte and Urban Decay are known not only for their pretty packaging but the compact size of the packaging as well, making the make-up more accesible and better for the environment.
Tarte claims they "are reducing green houses emissions one mascara at a time." By using recyclable and post-consumer materials that can often be re-used helps reduce environmental waste.
Urban Decay on another hand claims to be "cruelty free" All products claim to be not tested on animals. Some products now even contain a "vegan logo".
Point is, these brands help better the environment and have great performance. Some of the best products I have purchased have been from these brands. So if you haven't looked into eco-friendly make-up, check it out ! In some cases you can't even tell and in others it is a better alternative that feels fresher and better for your skin.

Help is on the Way
A lot of people don't have a problem finding fashionable pieces to wear it's more that they don't know how to wear them. A couple of years ago, I searched on Google "How to wear sweats and be cute". Low and behold the most amazing fashion website popped up.
Polyvore.com is a website dedicated solely to helping anyone and everyone with their fashion styling. Creating an account is completely free, although you don't need one to look around.
The website is full of "fashion profiles" each different one with their own personal style. You are always able to create your own designs and set them up on a page to where people can see what pieces of clothing you would put together. I find that this is the fast and easiest way to find trending fashions.
Although I'd have to say that by far the most useful tool on their site would be the "Ask" section. Once you create an account, one is able to pose questions such as "How do I get this look?" or "How would I wear my hair with this outfit?" And other users will create virtual sets of clothing that link to real stores where they can obtain similar items. The average wait time isn't that long either. You'd be amazed how many people commit time to doing this for other people.
Polyvore is where users can share and find their true style. By going on this website, one is able to be exposed to not just what they see everyday but to fashion everywhere. To explore Polyvore further click heres a link http://www.polyvore.com/
