How Social Media Changes The Way We Interact



Although social media is great, it helps us stay in touch with those friends and family who live far away, this constant way of socializing takes little effort and is not always a positive thing.


Talking to someone on facebook or twitter is super convenient and is really making us lazy. Why would we drive down to our friend’s house to see them when we can just send them a message on facebook? People are starting to forget about face to face interactions. Lots of relationships are not only starting online, but ending online. It seems like people talk to their friends more on social networking sites and texting than in real life.
 

Aside from the loss of face to face interaction people are becoming addicted to social networking. I know when I get home from school the first thing I do is check facebook, twitter, and instagram. This is totally subconscious and looking at how much time I waste on these sites is ridiculous, and I know there are people out there way more obsessed than I am.


Social Media is changing the way we interact with each other and our relationships. Since social media is so easy and takes minimal effort that’s what people seem to be choosing. Personally, I prefer face to face interaction. I still text and facebook message people but I think it’s important to see people and interact with them in person.

Prom Hair

 
Although prom may seem far away, it's really not.. there’s less than 30 days until prom!

 

Most of us have already got the dress, shoes, and date, but who's started to think about the hair?! Well I just realized that the clock is ticking, and it’s time to decide on some prom hair styles!

 

For all of you girls like me who are still undecided, I hope I can help you out!

So first for those with beautiful long hair, you're probably more likely to want it down and curly. This Carrie Underwood look is perfect for those of you with long hair and a strapless dress. You can never go wrong with pretty feminine curls.

 
 



This next look is classic and elegant. A low chignon is simple and will look great with any dress. This is perfect for anyone with straight to wavy hair that just won’t hold curls.

 


Now for those of you with naturally curly hair I would recommend a Taylor Swift in spired hair style. This is elegant and makes your curls look great!

 

 
I hope this helped those of you scrambling to find a hair style for prom!

                                                        

Social Networking and Privacy


 
Who doesn’t love wasting time on facebook? Well most people do. There’s nothing wrong with social networking, but you do have to be careful with your privacy.

There are so many creepers out there, I know from firsthand experience, and if you don’t have enough privacy on your facebook account they can find you and look at all your pictures. Who wants creepy old men going through all their photos? ew… not me!

The good thing about most social networking sites is that there are privacy options. You can protect your photos, statuses, and information from strangers, but the problem is some people aren’t aware of these settings and other’s just say they don’t care who sees their postings.

People should care about creepers finding out their name, hometown, how they look, what they like. Social networking makes stalking so much easier. People need to be smart with their privacy settings on social networking sites. As long as people are smart and have privacy on their accounts social networking can be a safe thing.

Spring and Summer Styles


With spring having sprung and summer soon on the way, it’s time for to dig out those shorts and sandals you’ve been missing.

Whether you’re looking for outfit ideas, wanting to add to your shopping list, or just are into fashion, this post is great for you!

I’ve put together a few spring/summer outfits that are perfect for any casual event.

WARNING:  My fashion taste can be a little girly, so I’m sorry if this isn’t for you.



This first outfit consists of:

-         Pale pink shorts from Americain Eagle

-         A vintage prelum shirt I’m totally in love with. (purchased from a thrift store)

 
 
 
This outfit is perfect for a sunny spring or summer day. Colored shorts are always fun, plus this light pink color makes your legs look even more tanned! Prelum shirts are very in right now and are very flattering and floral patterns are cute and summery! You could wear this casually, or dress it up by adding some cute shoes and accessories. Colored shorts and a prelum shirt should be staples in your spring/summer wardrobe.


For this next outfit I recycled my pink shirt and added a white chiffon shirt, braided belt, pearl breacelet, and some aviator sunglasses.

This outfit is great because with a white top you can wear any colored shorts! Plus, white will bring out your tan this summer. Aviator sunglasses are classic and this pair has a floral pattern down the arms.
 

All pieces in this outfit are practical and can be used with many other combinations. For example, you can just wear a tank top and throw a jean jacket on over top for the chillier days.

 

Who doesn’t love wearing skirts and dresses on nice hot days?! I know I sure do! For this next outfit I just wore a thick strapped white tank top with detailing on the straps, a patterned skirt and the jean jacket on top is optional, depending on the weather.

So as you can see, with the purchase of just a few items you can update your Spring and Summer wardrobe! Happy Shopping :)
