Hey! Welcome!
Wednesday, July 1
First entry, and not posting for a while.
Please do not send me private messages unless they have a point to them. thank you! And if you want to link back to me, click on my button on the sidebar.
***********************************************
So I still haven't fixed my template. but oh well. I"m just not motivated to.
My friend Emily has started a blog, so you can visit it here.:) I made the template with her over skype. I love skype. Lol
I just wrote the first entry on ibeauty! :D I was berry picking today, and my nails quickly became DISGUSTING, so I decided to write about it. :) So you can read it here! I'm so excited for ibeauty. ^_^
Please send me in any beauty questions you have, and I'll answer them as best I can in a question-answer entry on ibeauty. =)
So this is going to be my last entry for a while, since I"m going away camping with my family and my friend Alison. We're going down to New Brunswick, to the Bay of Fundy! It's gonna be tons of fun. =) We're bringing all our beads, and are going to whip up a ton of jewelry while we're gone. We'll be gone for approx. 1.5 weeks.
I'm hopefully still going to update my ibeauty blog while I'm in fundy and maybe reply to comments, but after Fundy I'll be back for like 3 weeks so I'll be catching up then. =)
I'll "see" you all later. ^_^

The end--and the beginning

Hey everyone!
//(EDIT)//
I accidentally erased my template, so whoever I had the button to, can you give it to me again? :( I had to completely rewrite my template, and it's still looking "off", so I have to fix that... thanks!
Well, this is the end of Penda Magazine I was trying to start.
I just don't think I'm ready to start such a big thing yet, no matter how many readers we have.
Here are the reasons:
- I'm really bad at following up with people.
- I don't have any time for the stuff that I love to do, like write in my journal anymore.
- Next year, I'm going to start taking a bunch of courses online, including maths and Sciences, so I'm going to be uber-busy already, magazine or not
- I relied too much on other people who weren't as excited as I was, and wasn't taking into consideration other people's personal lives.
I might start it up again when I"m older and more responsible, though. :) But for now...
there is a beginning! :D
I'm going to be starting a blog called ibeauty, about the lies fed to girls and true beauty, inside and out.
It's going to be mostly by me, but if anyone feels like they want to submit any beauty tips, or something like that, that would be greatly accepted!
Btw, you should know, I'm the kind of girl who loves pedicures, manicures, hair, makeup, etc in moderation. A little pampering never hurt anyone, but obsessing over it is unhealthy. I prefer to do my hair and at least put on some foundation and mascara when I go out of doors, but I can go outside without any makeup on and my hair back in a messy bun and not be ashamed. So don't think I'm your typical Type "A" girl or anyting, I just love beauty. ^_^
So yeah.
This an end and a beginning. I'm thinking ibeauty will work pretty well since it's going to be mostly me doing it, but other girls can submit stuff if they want. ^_^
Posts will be about once a week hopefully.
So yeah!
Thanks for all the help with my penda magazine, though, even though it didn't work. :) It's mainly my fault it didn't. I didn't tell enough people about it, and expected 4 girls to do the work that I was thinking 10 would, without writing anything myself. I feel ashamed about it now, so please forgive me if you felt pressured or that I was angry or anything. because I wasn't.
You girls were such a blessing! :) Thanks so much for your encouragement!

Hey everyone.
So I have a good story, and a bad story. :) I'll start with good.
So we did track and field today with all the homeschoolers and the surrounding Christian schools and the like, and it was a ton of fun! I got third at SHOTPUT of all things! I stink at throwing. and I was sure I wasn't going to place, so I just did it to help everyone else bump up a spot, but I ended up placing. I was very very happy. ^_^
So I did a bunch of other stuff too... at the 100 m dash I got to finals and tied for 4th. :( Oh well. :) I was still in finals! :D
lol
then it started pouring.
POURING. with thunder and lightning.
We had to run to the cars to wait for it to pass, and when it did we all went back. My friend Gabriel and I sat on the bleechers listening to music and talking, and then it started pouring AGAIN. so Daniel, Gabe, Jessica, Holly and I were under one trying to keep dry.
It didn't work.
We eventually ran to the tents that were on the other side of the field. >.< we got soaked. Then Gabe was complaining of being cold, so Daniel and I squished him so he stayed warm... it was fun. xD
But since it was raining so much, and it didn't stop without starting up again in less than 2 minutes, we didn't get to do the relay. and it's my last year! so I'll never do it again. :( I was in it this year, too. :'( I am really sad.
I'm going to miss my friends, since I might not see them until September. Especially Gabe. :) We're good friends.
However, there might be weekly ball games that we'll do for fun, so i'll be able to see them still. :) I'm really happy
Now the bad news.
I'm thinking that the magazine won't work at all, unless I have 10 more submissions in 2 weeks. I still need all the fiction, entertainment, and non-fiction. I only have devotions. So I don't think this will work. Unless I get everything I need in 2 weeks.
So that's now your deadline. ok?
Now, if it doesn't work, I have another idea that I might just do anyway.
I"m thinking of starting a blog called "iBeauty" about beauty from the inside out. I'm really liking the idea! I've been jotting down ideas in my journal for about 3-4 weeks now for it. People would be able to submit stuff that they think if they wanted, and it would be on Blogspot obviously, but also on here.
I'm thinking of starting a new blog, since I only have like 30 friends out of my over 100 who actually blog. If I did, though, I would take everyone off my friends list and add them on my new one, so you wouldnt' have a clogged up friends list. I'm still not sure, though, so i"m not making any promises.
So yeah.
I'll try to post more often from now on... but I seem to never want to. I don't know why... unless I have something exciting to say like today. :)
I had a great time today.
Hope you did too!
and remember, submit stuff, or the magazine won't work.
Thanks!
Becca
