Hey Guys I'm back, This week my English 101 teacher asked me to listen to three teenage girls talk about the social media map of today. I must admit I was pretty impressed on how much I learned. There are plenty of social media websites such as Facebook, Instagram, Snap chat,Twitter,etc. Everything on social media pretty much revolves around likes, comments, shares, or views.They talked about how its a chain reaction on getting lots of comments\likes, so once you comment on friends picture or post they would return the favor and do the same. Today girls and women empower other girls and women by commenting saying
"oh your so beautiful" or "πππ" underneath their pictures. They also talked about how on Instagram, they just "double tap" just to let the person know they seen the picture. What I didn't understand was why they send the pictures they were going to post in a group chat before posting the picture on social media.Their friends were going to see it anyway, I guess it's to save the embarrassment beforehand , which I could understand. Normally the first people who like and comment on my picture on social media are my best friends and boyfriend. It gives me a lot of confidence to know that I at least have their support.I totally agree when they said ''You normally get the most likes during the day or even at night" it happens to me all the time. If I were to post something at 2 am in the morning, I wouldn't get that many likes because not to many people would be up. I personally don't take social media serious but the likes are always cool...well bye guys until next time ..logging off but first let me take a selfie!

Entry 2: Top 5 things to boost up your self confidence
Hi guys this week we're gong to talk about having self confidence and what we could do to boost it. First lets talk about what is. Self confidence is a feeling of trust in one's abilities, qualities, and judgement. I recently was having a moment when I had low self esteem especially after having my son. After carrying a baby for almost ten months, your body goes through drastic changes. What helped me get through was exercise and doing things that I loved to do before I was pregnant like running, squats, crunches, and lady push ups. Of course the results weren't shown over night. The five things I did to boost my self confidence were....
#1.Started working on my appearance
I picked at least three things that I wanted to change about my appearance. It could be either changing your hair style or color to the smallest thing on getting your eyebrows arched. Even changing up your style in clothes goes a long way.There are plenty things you could do to make you feel confident as far as appearance wise.
#2. Exercise
This helped boost my self confidence because I didn't really feel in shape. I was still carrying a little baby weight after three months. You could just work on the things you want to shape up like your arms glutes, etc. My favorite exercises were squats, lady push ups and crunches. But you work on whatever makes you feel happy and confident.
#3.Think and Act Positive
Having a positive mind is key to gaining self confidence. When you act positive you start to see positive results. Instead of telling yourself you can't do something, start saying ''I can" or ''I will". The more positive you act the more positive you'll become, you'll learn to walk away from negative things and situations.
#4. Love yourself
Loving yourself consists on following your morals and values. Knowing your worth and what you will and wont accept in your life. Getting rid of everything and everyone who serves no purpose in your life. Going through spiritual and personal growth, becoming the person your destined to be. Doing things that you love to do will give you tons of self confidence.
#5. Smile
Always remember to smile. This tiny gesture can uplift your confidence even when you have low self esteem. I smiled through out the whole process of my transformation. You never know your smile can brighten up someones day. Those are my top five things I do when I feel my confidence getting low. I encourage everyone to try at least one of these a day but for the mean time I'm.........logging off see you laterπ.

Entry 1: Blogging at its finest
Recently I just learned how to blog and I have to admit its kind of fun not having any limitations on your personally opinions and ideas. I prefer visual blogs like videos so I can hear the tone and voice of the person voicing there opinion. Written blogs are cool too. I was asked to pick two blogs that I absolutely love and one blog that I really dislike. My first fav blog that I always have to keep up with is the shade room(www.theshaderoom.com). The shade room is basically about the recent news of celebrities and their everyday life problems. I love reading the different blogs on this page because it lets me know that I'm not the only one facing everyday life problems. This blog helps me with all the latest fashion trends, whats in and whats out(as for fashion). They are very helpful in telling me about whats happening today in the world we live in.
My second fav blog is A Cup Of Jo (www.cupofjo.com). I was recently introduced to this blog and I been following it ever since. There are different tabs you can click on. I like the motherhood and relationship tab being that I am a mother in a relationship π. It helps bring me back to life meaning even though I'm a mother I can still have fun. It gives me different craft ideas that I could do with my son when he gets older. As far as relationships go it helps me better understand what to expect and picking and choosing my arguments. It also helps with opening up within my personal relationships (friends, family etc.)
Lastly is the blog that I didn't like which was Brain pickings (brainpickings.com). This blog really challenged me to open up my mind. For one it is on a academic level that I haven't even reached yet. When I was asked to do this as a assignment in my ENG101 class, I was very upset because I knew it would take me sometime to understand it. It used big words that I had to google.One day I would love to be so academically advanced to the point I could relate to the blog but until then this would have to be one of my dislikes sorry. When you get some free time I encourage you to stop by one of these blog pages but for now I'll see you later ...logging off
