Is Stress the new trend?

Five Causes of Stress

1.) Finances- Buying a home and car can be very stressful. Most college students find stress when they are having to deal with buying education.

2.) Work- Many worry about getting and keeping the job. The struggle to meet our boss's needs. Homework for students can always bring loads of stress.

3.) Family- Arguments with family members. Divorce, who gets the children.

4.) Relationships- friendship, dating, divorce, or seperation.

5.) Death- death of a beloved one, or close friend.

Creavity is a Virtue

The short video clip that was shown was very thought through and presented well by the speaker. I valued the idea when he established the fact that children have very unique, creative and developed minds. To me, I believe this is true in every way. I would also like to believe that the performing arts program puts people at ease and lets them take creativity to their own way. The speaker was right when he directed about how the teaching of dance and other arts should be raised to the top of the education scale. Many young teens have talent that many don't know about, or even they themselves don't know. By letting performing arts be equivalent to mathematics or science, kids well be able to experience new things. The kids or teens may even find something in themselves they didn't know was there. Being creative allows everyone to think outside the box in many ways. I wish dance was an option offered at school when I was young, or have my parents enrolled me into a dance studio, something other than your daily school work. Art gives you an opportunity to think freely, it allows you to step back and enjoy the beauty of life and everything in it. From dance to painting, these arts let you find the inner you that has been hiding, and let others know the something more about you..

Daisy, the Marc by Marc Jacobs Perfume

I'm kind of a big perfume lover. I spray perfume on myself everytime i leave the house. But like most girls, I can't resist browsing at the ever-interesting perfume bottles and sniff all the new scents. There are so many scents that I like, but because of this, I can't possibly buy all the scents I 'like'. Out of all the scents, there's one scent that has grown on me and I have fond memories of, the Abercrombie. And I've been meaning to buy a bottle for awhile, but I've been slightly hesistant because I wasn't sure if the smell was too strong for me to wear for too long of a time so I never got around to buying it.


I was excited when I saw the new ads of Daisy, the Marc by Marc Jacobs scent, in Macy's. It's got that sweet, everlasting smell to it. The first time I smelt it, it smelled like any other perfume out there in the market. But at the encouragement of the Marc salesgirls (who told me not to buy the Marc Jacobs perfume but try Daisy instead,) I sprayed both scents onto perfume paper and brought them home to smell for a day.


After smelling both scents at least once an hour, I've decided that on the surface, Daisy smelt only like a light, fruity, flowery scent. But later on, the scent smelt musky and most importantly, of Gardenia, the signature scent of the Marc Jacobs perfume. (Yes, I know I think too much before buying things.) According to the Daisy site, Daisy's notes include strawberry, ruby red grapefruit, violet leaves, gardenia, violet leaves, jasmine petals, musk, vanilla and white woods. Not exactly what I smelt, but close enough. And surprisingly, since I've bought it two weeks ago, I've already used it 4 times. Perhaps the reason I haven't been using much perfume before was that I haven't found my right one yet?


What do you think of Daisy? Isn't the bottle simply adorable? Has anyone smelt it or bought it yet?
