What I'm Grateful for this Thanksgiving (2020)

Today I'll be discussing things I'm grateful for, this year! 

1. Family & Friends

Family and friends is something I say every year that I'm grateful for, but this year especially my family & friends have helped me so much. My family has always been a source of happiness in my life, but I really appreciate my mom, dad, and grandparents for allowing me to talk to them whenever I need it. Even if it's something silly I know I can always go to them and they'll be there. Also my other family members as well, have allowed me a shoulder to cry on as well, and I'm extremely grateful. My friends, have also helped me by always again being a source of fun and happiness, and I'm extremely grateful for them. 

2. A Happy Life

I'm am extremely grateful to have a roof over my head, food on the table, supportive people around me, and good health. These 3 things make my life incredibly happy, and I will forever be grateful for these things. In 2020 these 3 things have really made the year enjoyable for me the roof over my head is relaxing, the food on the table is good, and the supportive people improve my mental health. Even though sometimes its easy to dwell on the bad things in life, I still love my life and am grateful to have such a happy life. 

3. Voting Poll Workers

This one may seem a bit random, but I just wanted to say that I'm extremely thankful for the men and women who voluntarily decided to work at the polls this year and count votes. These people put their health and lives on the line in order to count ballots for the American people during a pandemic. Like I mentioned earlier these men and women didn't have to count ballots, but they did and my grateful for them. 

4. New Experiences

In 2020 I've experienced so many new things whether it's online school, making a blog, being quarantined, or having to be creative when hanging out with friends. All of these new experiences have allowed me to be more creative and learn in ways I never knew I could. These experiences at times seemed extremely challenging but in my opinion will and have paid off in the end. This year more than ever I'm incredibly thankful for new experiences that have further shaped me into being the person I am today. 

Thank You for reading!

How To Find Your Aesthetic

 Hi everyone today I'll be discussing how to find your aesthetic or individual style.  1. The Fit of Clothes The first thing that determines your aesthetic is how you want your clothing to fit for example do you like the fit of skinny jeans, baggy jeans, or flare jeans on your body. I prefer mom jeans on my body instead of a skinny jean fit. Also do you prefer your tops to fit tighter or baggy, for me I like a mix of both. How you like clothes to fit your body is big part of finding your style/aesthetic because, your clothing will be the base of your style.   (source: 7esl.com) 2. What Shoes You Like  The second thing that determines your aesthetic is what shoes you like and look good on your feet for example do you like sneakers, heels, or boots. I prefer sneakers. Along with the type of shoe you also need to figure out what style of shoe like chunky, platform, or flat sole shoes. If you're shorter maybe platform is your go to , or if you're tall maybe a more flat sole sho

All About the Georgia RunOffs

 Hi everyone today I'll be discussing the Georgia Senate race runoffs, my goal is to educate my you all on this topic.  (picture credits: thenation.com) What is a Run-Off election? According to "Balletpedia.com" a runoff election is a second election held to determine a winner when no candidate in the first election met the required threshold for victory. This is a great definition a runoff election occurs when a candidate doesn't earn 50% of votes in the first general election.  (Picture Credits: Vox.com) Why and Where is this Runoff occurring? This senate runoff election is occurring in Georgia and the reason this is happening because in Georgia specifically the 50% vote rule counts for candidates.

David Purdue and democrat Jon Ossoff. The second is between republican Sen.  Kelly Loeff
