Read Book brittany schulze

I recently came across the book “The Last Lecture” by Randy Pausch. It is a story about a college professor who gets pancreatic cancer and is not given very long to live. He got the opportunity to give his class a last lecture, but decided not to dwell on the fact that he is dying, but instead, highlight the ways that he made a good life for himself and his family. When I first started reading the book I was expecting it to be all about him dying. However, I was very surprised to find it uplifting and inspiring. Of course I cried since it doesn’t take much to make me shed a tear, but because his story is true, I couldn’t help but wonder how his family will cope if he dies. His kids are too young to understand what is happening to him, so he just tries to spend as much time with them as he can. I would definitely recommend this book to someone who needs reassurance in their life or who just wants a good read.

Change Facebook layout lauren skinner

Facebook just recently changed their layout, again. The first time they decided to changed things around, the site only changed the profile pages, but now it has changed everything. Your home page isn’t really a home page anymore. The home page for Facebook seems more like a Twitter account, and it gives you everyone’s status now. The other thing about the home page is that you can’t even see your own status. I get that it makes it easier to see what applications you have since they are on the top of the page, but I can never remember where all the birthday reminders are. I think it’s just weird when you are on someone’s profile, you can’t tell a status apart from a wall posting. I just think that Facebook can’t make up their mind on the fact if they want to be more like Myspace, or Twitter, or if the site should just be something totally different. I wish that we could have the old Facebook layout back.

Apply Apply Deodorant maggie jasper

Girls, do you ever feel like your deodorant never lasts? Never fear, clinical strength is here. I have tried so many girl deodorants it’s insane. I got so sick of those horrible antiperspirant deodorants that I had to resort to boy deodorant which lasts longer. Later, someone told me to try clinical strength and it worked great. The best thing about it is that it lasts! I just apply and enjoy. The only problem is that it is a bit more expensive then other deodorants as it costs $7.50 at Target and Walgreens. But because the quality is so good, it is basically a prescription deodorant making the price well worth it as “real” prescription deodorants are much more expensive. I would recommend this to any girl! Try it, it’s worth it.

Style

Hair product chelsea kaufman

After looking for a good, quality hair product that would give my hair both volume and body without the mess found in other products, I found the perfect item. Revlons’ “Body Lifter,” available at most salons, has worked wonders for my hair. This product comes in a spray bottle that you lightly spray on the roots of damp hair and massage in to lift and give it body. Because of its container, the user avoids the sticky mess other products leave on your hands and it doesn’t leave your hair feeling like a rock. Although this product costs $15 a bottle, it was well worth it. Used in the correct amounts, it lasts a long while and gives the user immediate results without the unwanted mess.

This make-up is definitely a must have.

Eat Ice cream vicki viehman

The yellow cake batter ice cream from Fritz’s is one of the best I have ever had. Fritz’s has always been one of my favorite places to get ice cream, but now I try to go there even more often just because of this new ice cream. It actually tastes exactly like the cake batter you make when you bake a yellow cake and it is delicious. I had never heard of it before and the sign on the window inspired me to try it. I’m so glad I did. If you like sweets or cakes, this is the ice cream for you. I got mine with sprinkles and it was so good! I would recommend getting sprinkles (if you like them) because it makes the ice cream seem even more like actual cake. Fritz’s has always had a good reputation for their ice cream and treats and this ice cream was no exception. Whenever I go to Fritz’s now, that’s all I want to get.
