Lesson: Trying

Hello Everyone,
Today a four year old taught me a lesson. A lesson that I forget most days: Trying. My four year old niece, Lily, and I were coloring and Lily asked me to make paper airplanes and was telling me all about how her friends in school and her learned how to make paper airplanes. I told her I couldn't make paper airplanes and that I'd never learned. Truth was I learned but was never any good at it. Lily said one simple word: Try. I said okay and she handed me a piece of paper. I started to make airplane as best as I could. I wasn't any good at it but Lily loved it. She said I was the best paper airplane maker she ever saw and loved it when I threw the planes that only went about a 5 feet away from me. It was then that I remembered that young children don't care how crappy you are at the things they want you to do, they just care that you did it. Lily taught me a lesson today. Trying is something I forget to do often when I'm not passionate about the topic. I didn't really want to make paper airplanes but I tried because when a small person asks you to do something you do it.
Go ahead and try something today,
Britt

Survey

 Hello Everyone,

Due to some recent events in my life I have come to the conclusion that in order to improve my blog and videos I need some feedback from my readers. So if you would take 10 minutes out of your day to take this survey I created I would really appreciate it.

That is the link to the survey. Please go take it as it would really help me bring better content to you.

Thanks and Have a Great Weekend!

I'm Back

Hello Everyone,
I'm back from my little hiatus! I have been very busy while being away. I designed a new look for my blog which you should be seeing in July. I got my grades up and I have been filming videos for you. All that aside I'm excited to be back. I have loads of ideas for new posts and videos. I will be back on my old schedule of 3 posts, 3 days a week almost every week. I know 2 months away is very unfair to you all so I already have ideas how I'm going to improve that for you this coming fall. I'm excited to see what this summer brings me and you.
Also, I'm going resume Media Monday next week

Thanks,
Britt

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.
