Honey and Green Tea Facial

Okay so here is this great facial recipe!
from www.ehow.com

You need:
-Honey
-brewed Green Tea, chilled

Step 1
Wash your face with a gentle cleanser and warm water and pat dry.

Step 2
Apply a thin layer of honey to your face with clean fingers. There is no need to warm the honey beforehand; the warmth of your fingers and face will make it spreadable.

Step 3
Avoid the area around the eye as the skin in that area is very delicate. And even though honey is natural and gentle, it still isn't pleasant getting it in the eye.

Step 4
Leave the honey on for 15 to 20 minutes. It may drip occasionally, so either wear an old shirt, wrap a towel around your neck and shoulders, or better yet, run a warm bath and add some fragrant bubble bath and relax.

Step 6
Remove the honey by rinsing your face with warm water. Don't use cleanser or soap. The honey will come off fairly easily and any left behind will be removed in the next step.

Step 7
Use the green tea on a cotton ball on your face after you've removed most of the honey. Dip the cotton ball in the green tea and stoke the cotton ball over your face and neck. Don't rinse after applying the green tea. Green tea will tighten and close your pores.

If your skin feels too tight after the green tea, use a light moisturizer after the green tea has dried.

WARNING: Obviously, if you are allergic to honey, dont do this. Test it out on your wrist first, if you arent sure whether or not you will be sensitive to it.

I just did it, and my face feels so clean and tight. Its fabulous!

DragRaces

So the drag races are awesome! Me and my dad went this Friday, and it was so much fun. I just like cars. i know its really non-girly of me, but they are just so cool! Like how an engine works, and Nitrus. I love love love Nitrus. Its so neat, it reminds me of a dragon breathing :D
There were actually a few dragsters when we went on Friday. Mostly trailer queens and street legal cars though.
The smoke was insane! When the cars would burn-out (press the brake and acclerator at the same time, making the back tires spin in place, warming them up), white tire smoke went EVERYWHERE! It was crazy, but rly cool. The white-ness of it all added to suspense and atmosphere I think.
Exhaust fumes arent fun, but what can you do? Its a CAR race, you know?
We left around 10:45, and it still wasnt even over. Everytime weve gone, we leave before its over. i have no idea when it really ends, cuz we never stay that long.
It was so fun!

New stuff

I have a new "Thoughts on..." (2 now)
And some new quotes :) about spring time

Definition of...HOME

Theres somethin precious and special about coming home.
Coming back to where it all started.
The Place you spend your countless hours doing everything from laundry to homework, to babysitting your neighbors kids.
The energy source.
Its like finding something lost in a world of chaos. and i guess it is.
When the world throws you around, when you feel used and worn, where do u go?
You go home.
A house awaits you, but its not just a house. Its a home.
A home is where love finds joy and they both meet peace.
It creates a combination of family, friends, food, conversation, laughter, sometimes
some yelling, but a heck of a lot of love.
A home doesnt have to be full of family either. Its the people you love that count. Not who gave you your hazel eyes or your cute nose or your freckles. Its who stood by you. Who "loved you when you werent so lovable".

Its the smell of dryer sheets on laundry day.
The blair of cartoons as everyone gets up in the morning.
The smell of grilling before dinner.
Phones ringing.
The dog barking.
Neighbor kids continually knocking on the door.
Your mom yelling at you from the across the house, calling you by your first AND middle name.
That funky sound your fridge makes in the middle of the night, every night.
These are the qualities of a home lived in.
And this is what home means to me.

Kodi

Okay, so there is this girl named Kodi Tutt in Sanger (where i live). She is 5 years old and there are posters all over town for her because she has cancer. Its Neuroblastoma which is a type of luekamia and its so sad!
We went to the one grocery store in the whole town today, and there is this poser on the door telling you all about her. Its so sad cuz shes only 5 years old. and its stage 4, which means there is no cure. The doctors cant get rid of it, its too advanced.

All the schools and buisneses in Sanger are putting pink and purple ribbons on their door fronts to show their support. The whole town is involved! They are having a 5K marathon thing to raise money for her family.

Its just a horrible situation...

1992 -> 2000

Okay now look at the difference between Bill Clinton in 1992 (the year he got into office):

http://truthalliance.net/Portals/0/Archive/Community%20Article%20Images/bill-clinton-1-796410.jpg

And Bill Clinton in 2000 (the year he retired):

http://weblogs.sun-sentinel.com/news/politics/dcblog/Bill%20Clinton.jpg

The difference is obvious! I thought this was sooo interesting that only 8 years in the office as pres could take such a toll on someone!!! I mean, i know that age has a factor here too, but we see that stress leaves its mark for sure...

Ideas

Okay so i need somethin new to talk bout! give me ideas plez. i love em!
And i also need a new author thats coolio!

TAKS- Texas Assesment of Knowledge and Skills

TAKS is sooooo dumb.
A waste of time rly.
Dont u all agree?

We had the Math TAKS today. Reading tomarrow.
Bad things about TAKS:
-The room is always for some reason extra cold that day.
-They NEVER have enough tissues.
-Its stressful.
-Its nerve-racking.
-When they tell you to break the little seal, you worry about tearing the packet (well i do).
-You get cramps from sitting so long.
-You sit FOR-EV-ER!!!
-No talking. Impossible!
-If you fail the test, you fail the grade level. Plus its bad news for those who work poorly under pressure (i do). Or someone who is sick that day. Or just feels crappy. Why dont they just use your yearly average??? That makes so much more sense to me! Less stress.
-No other work is done that day in any other classes (not that that is a bad thing-haha).
-You have to watch "educational videos" after...ugh. But better than paper work.
-But theres no homework on TAKS day!!! WOOHOO!!!

Wedding

"I now pronounce you Brother and Sister Noland!"

James and April's wedding was great! April made her own dress, and it was beautiful. She had Stormy and Renee as her maids of honor. They both were soooo pretty! April made their dresses too i think. Br. Peterson gave the wedding talk. It was short and sweet. I rly rly liked it.
And you know what? We were driving home on the highway from eating after the wedding, and we look behind us, and guess who is there? James and April in James' car. It was so funny! They were all smiles :D
i am so happy for them!
