Hey guys!
I know as teenagers acne is the one thing no one wants, especially with homecoming coming up so fast! So below are my favorite acne tricks and treatments. 1. Acanya (actual doctor prescribed medication) 2. Toothpaste- this may sound silly but try putting it on before you go to bed and leave it there over night 3. Use a rag to wash your face and not your hands- your hands carry lots of oil that could rub off onto your face 4. Ice- rub it on your face for a few minutes to reduce redness 5. Teatree and/or Jojoba Oil- acne can be caused by your skin being too dry so try a little bit of this after putting an acne cream on 6. Listerine- dab on bigger pimples and leave on for about 3 minutes then wash off Comment below any acne tricks you may have, and tell me if any of them work for you! Hey guys!
Recently I joined the girls cross country team here at Ladue High School! Now I just actually started running a little bit earlier this month because I had an injury from back in June. I had a stress fracture so I was supposed to be in a boot for 4-6 weeks, but that did not happen. Instead, I decided going to camp was more important, which it was and it turned out to be the best week at camp ever!! Anyway, right now I am allowed to run around 12 minutes at a time, and I ran faster than normal at a 7.30 mile pace today. Two minutes faster than normal! Aaaaahhhh I haven't ran that fast in almost 4 years!! I hope you guys had a great day! Comment below the highlight of your day or what sport you play! Editing
When it came to learning about editing in the course the most important thing was to practice. Mainly I used the videos to help learn about the tools in iMovie. One tool that I didn't know about was the transition tool that becomes more detailed as to where the sound and footage of the next or previous clip begin and end. Also, it taught me how to add B-Roll into the iMovie, which is something I needed to learn. Interviewing
This section of the ITunesU course discussed different things to do when interviewing to make your video more interesting. We focused on sound bites, and that we should record at least 3-5 minutes of interviews and pick the best parts of the interview to put into the video. Also, we learned how to set up the iPad to get good footage of the person we are interviewing. For example, make sure to get close enough to the person to get the microphone to pick up their voice clearly, and what angle we should be shooting them at. The most helpful thing from this part was just practicing by myself or in a small group setting up the interview. Sound
This section in the course was about sound. The main type of sound it focused on was NAT or natural sound. The most helpful part of this was watching the demonstration video because it showed the difference NAT sound will make in your story. It makes the story more interesting, and can add a feeling of connection to it as if you are apart of the action. Hey guys! If you didn't already know I love to read, so here are my top 5 books that I have read.
1. Maybe One Day 2. The Fault in Our Stars 3. The Freedom Writers Diary 4. Now I'll Tell You Everything 5. Better Than Perfect Comment below your top reads! Good Morning Lovelies!
I wanted to give all of you a book recommendation, Maybe One Day by Melissa Kantor. It is about two best friends who go through a hard time together. One of the friends, Olivia, is diagnosed with cancer at the beginning of the story. This causes a number of events, some making you laugh and some making you cry. I think it's one of the best books I've read lately. I hope if any of you choose to read it that you enjoy it too! Sorry I won't explain in more detail, but I don't want to ruin anything for you all! Comment below any book recommendations you may have!! |
