Nail art strips, first knuckle rings, SPF hand cream, and polka dots!
Published on Monday, May 13, 2013
Nail art continues to be a major trend, seen on celebrities and high schoolers, and everyone in-between! A product that has been popping up in stores a lot, along with nail art kits, is nail art stickers, or nail polish strips. These are packages of pre-printed strips that are sized to fit right on nails. They are self-adhesive, easy to use (once you get the hang of it), and virtually mess free. (I used nail art stickers to create the red and gold polka dot look seen in the photo at right.) These stickers/strips can be found at drugstores, big box stores, beauty supply stores, and even high-end mall stores.

The Whitney I Knew by BeBe Winans did a wonderful job in letting the public see the real Whitney Houston in truth, dignity, and love from her friends' perspective.
I'm a huge Whitney Houston fan and this book allowed me to enjoy her stories and memories from close friends and family. It was refreshing to read about stories of Whitney Houston in a positive light, and more important as a regular person.

Bomb by Steve Sheinkin is an exciting ride through World War II as seen by some of the top physicists of their day. With the revelation that an atom could be split in two, creating fission, came an arms race towards the first atomic bomb. The U.S. knew that an atomic bomb in the hands of Hitler would have devastating effects and the best way to prevent that was to make a successful atomic bomb first.

Secrets are not always safe
Published on Sunday, April 7, 2013
Black Butterfly is an awkward balance between angsty crime thriller and after-school special, a bittersweet coming-of-age film for everyone to see.
The message and storyline is directed towards young and teen girls when dealing with the pressures of reaching your goals and the reality of being assaulted. Once the story of the character (Ariel) comes out, she struggles to keep her secret from spiraling out of control and threatening to destroy all that she and her family have struggled and sacrificed for.
