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:
  1. I'm really bad at following up with people. 
  2. I don't have any time for the stuff that I love to do, like write in my journal anymore.
  3. 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
  4. 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!

Oh that's ok. :) I wrote the article though! Haha...then found out you didn't need it. :) :)
Oh me too! I love manicures, pedicures, hair, makeup, etc, etc, etc. Of course I'm not OVER obsessed with it. I'm like you, I wear some makeup (mascara, foundation, sometimes a teeny blush) and I ALWAYS do my hair, but if I don't put and on and my hair's not quite fixed (as it is right now...) I don't really care. Of course, I wouldn't go out with my hair dirty, not brushed, and my face dirty, oily, etc. Haha...I dunno, maybe I'm too snobby or something. I think I've turned people away from me by being that way. I need to stop. I mean I brag like way too much. It's annoying even to me.
I can't wait to read the new magazine!!!
Sorry for not commenting in a while.
Btw how old are you again??

I'm really excited about iBeauty, too! It sounds like an excellent idea to me.
I don't think I'll quit blogging. I was just having one of those moments where I just wanted to quit everything. I haven't been feeling that great this week. Like this past week it's just been like emotional things but today I actually don't feel well physically. Oh just so ya know, I'm not the type of teenager that cries over everything (i just don't want you to think I'm a baby or anything...). I cried slightly this morning but before then I can't tell you the last time...it's not like you care about that.
Thanks for your help. I still have to think about what I should do.
Have a great week! btw is it hot up there?? its 91 right now.. (91 degrees F...do you guys use Farenheit or celsius??)

Oh no you didn't. :) Actually it's really funny that you mention guys because my sister's friend's cousin (who is 15) likes me!! Ahhh!! We went bowling the other day with my sister's friend and her cousins (they're like 12 and 13) and Augusta was telling my sister how Aaron was asking her if he smelled good, if he bowled good ("because I was trying to impress Ellyn"), what I like, etc. It was really pretty funny to listen to Augusta tell the story!!
Last night I cried myself to sleep. I have this friend that I sort of know that works at our grocery store (all the people at our grocery store are so personal). You must know that this is an adult (maybe like in her 50's). Anyway, she's moving away to Florida and I won't get to talk to her every week anymore. I don't even wanna go again on Wednesday!! Anyway I cried myself to sleep last night because of that?!?!? I just burst out crying and I wasn't even REALLY thinking about her. I couldn't believe myself. Of course, it's kind of...a girl thing (if you get what I mean) this time...
I can't wait for ibeauty to start!!!
Anyway have a wonderful day!

Thanks for posting about it to let everyone know.

iBeauty sounds really neat. I hope it works out. Let me know when you have it all up and running! I can't wait to read it.

Don't worry, I can definitely understand that it would be really hard to do something like that. I would never be able to!

In Christ,
Christine

Yeah I know what you mean. :)
For some reason this past week I was just sad for like no reason. I dunno why.
So what's new around there? Nothing really here...my sister has camp this week, and we (my mom, sister and I) are going to go to this place to get some jewelry making stuff to make some accessories for my outfit for the fair!
Anyway, have a great day!
