But I have recently joined Rent The Runway where I can have several designer outfits sent to my house to wear for as long as I want. <div><br /></div><div>My mom got me the membership in hopes of me finding my Prom Dress, but I have found all the clothes that I would wear to a friends Birthday, school events, and just for fun. Rent The Runway is full of thousands of designers, and it is even cooler that's algorithm is tailored to your size and style. For instance, I love Kate Spade, so my RTR account shows me clothes, purses, and jewelry from Kate Spade in my size range of 16-18. I am now using Rent The Runway for everything, I even wore a Derek Lam Collection Coat to all my classes last week! </div><div><br /></div><div>It feels like I am shopping without boundaries on Rent The Runway, like size and price doesn't matter because as along as you like it then it can be yours. If you love an item so much you can buy with an RTR discount. For myself I have found the Rent The Runway to be an extremely useful platform for young women in need of a good suit and accessories for internships and interviews or for young influences, like myself. </div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjZ_ExcpmQ7JXZuX38S0uM2WgS9_VgEezshcj0sFjd_EzIqSXWbxGaPip6IAZH8GWiwHuefOYThK99lVK7FwpiYFj-Ixi_D0gGegcg4XNTY2Sj4p6i3IarL8nIe3n0alqMKCrSDCi148tzEfsnW-aKpDVioORGCWW-GA7isDkNYGhVo116W9CHIJXmPLQ=s2048" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjZ_ExcpmQ7JXZuX38S0uM2WgS9_VgEezshcj0sFjd_EzIqSXWbxGaPip6IAZH8GWiwHuefOYThK99lVK7FwpiYFj-Ixi_D0gGegcg4XNTY2Sj4p6i3IarL8nIe3n0alqMKCrSDCi148tzEfsnW-aKpDVioORGCWW-GA7isDkNYGhVo116W9CHIJXmPLQ=s320" width="240" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">I will answer common questions about Rent The Runway:</div><div style="text-align: left;"><span> </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b>Is rent the runway worth it?</b></div><div style="text-align: left;">It is extremely worth the price of your membership as you can order whatever you want each week and the customer service is so helpful.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><br /></b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b>Is Rent The Runway sustainable?</b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span><span><span>RTR is very eco-friendly as it request that you recycle the garment bags and </span></span></span>polymailers or send it all back them when you return your items.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><i><br /></i></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b>Can you rent from Rent The Runway without a membership?</b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span><span>Yes, so if there is a particular item, for example a dress for a wedding, you can just rent the dress for a fee.

After a pandemic, I am in a rush to be I afraid of life with my best friends and wearing the most stylish clothes. Though I don’t have sense or sensibility, I make up for in ambition and creativity. I have changed so much since the pandemic started at the end of my Sophomore year and as it continues I am now a Senior. My elaborate idea of a Senior Bucket List is my chance to make up for all the adventures I missed in the Covid *blip*. I am excited to see who I am at the end of it all.</p><p>The thing about adventures is that you never know where you are going to end up, and my physical covenant/contract for our senior list is still be added too. Our bucket list is a high school one for all the things that all my friends and I have or want to accomplish. Like “heading to a secret skate park” or “winning a Mock Trial case”. </p><span><a name='more'></a></span><p></p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>Go to Homecoming</li><li>Food Fest</li><li>Bryant Park Shopping Haul</li><li>Movie Night</li><li>Vlog a Day in a Life</li></ul>Just to name a few and I will list the rest below...<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEh3DTUxXC-e-EThtwvfzOT-VD-ut9rLthyJAu7XjalgGfwKA5uN94bhUlM5YSd5hZ3D9edTrFhFrFItFgwRGsA-Xj4UrLiBKe2nz78LekfPbjohyABvvwZGs0_d9-DzH2xSAf9YkOIhOm1Zrp_SN902ky1biw0bPUx_yE3ruTXxEvgXDWynpeeAZlQjZA=s2000" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2000" data-original-width="1416" height="565" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEh3DTUxXC-e-EThtwvfzOT-VD-ut9rLthyJAu7XjalgGfwKA5uN94bhUlM5YSd5hZ3D9edTrFhFrFItFgwRGsA-Xj4UrLiBKe2nz78LekfPbjohyABvvwZGs0_d9-DzH2xSAf9YkOIhOm1Zrp_SN902ky1biw0bPUx_yE3ruTXxEvgXDWynpeeAZlQjZA=w401-h565" width="401" /></a></div><span></span><span><!--more--></span><p>Our dreams and achievements on the list are solely our own and NO BOYS ALLOWED to participate!

I chose to only be on the platforms that would promote my brand and grow my interest. TikTok and Instagram are my go-to platforms for viewing and inspiration. I am definitely obsessed with TikTok, I to had to even set a lockdown timer on the app because I can get carried away 😌 Now Instagram, Snapchat, Facebook, and all the other prime social media apps are over-saturated and have too many rules, that they are becoming artifacts to the historic social media freezie of the early 2000s and soon will be archived with MySpace. </p><p>Now that I kind of understands how social media works, I feel like Instagram, Facebook, etc are boring and no longer relate or compatible with the GenZ movement for positivity and realness. Now people are buying followers, behind the scenes of a single post is a production, and the receivers of those posts are developing unhealthy mentalities. Not to mention the issues of cybersecurity and trustworthiness online. There are so many things wrong with the old way of how social media works when in reality it is a sad and devastating place. If you want to understand the ingenuousness of social media, then I recommend watching the <a href="https://youtu.be/3FmX8SBIeco" target="_blank"><span style="color: #e06666;">Social Dilemma</span></a> and <a href="https://youtu.be/koyI52ccCI4" target="_blank"><span style="color: #e06666;">Fake Famous</span></a> because they show you the behind-the-scenes of the social impact of social media; which is not ironic, but destructive.</p><p>If you are over, all the 'bs' of all the older social media platforms then I think it is time to start over. Luckily, you can as there are new social media platforms that are actually growing a following as there is a mass exodus from the older platforms to these new and aspiring platforms. These new media are reimaging and reinstating the whole concept of social media to actually promote and support brands and individuals.</p><p></p><ol style="text-align: left;"><li><a href="https://apps.apple.com/us/app/hive-social/id1480835284" target="_blank"><span style="color: #e06666;">Hive</span></a> ~ GenZ Instagram</li><li><a href="https://www.joinclubhouse.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #e06666;">Club House</span></a> ~ Professional Houseparty</li><li><a href="https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/caffeine-live-streaming/id1170629931" target="_blank"><span style="color: #e06666;">Caffeine</span></a> ~ New Youtube like ICarly</li><li><a href="https://help.twitter.com/en/using-twitter/spaces" target="_blank"><span style="color: #e06666;">Twitter Space</span></a> </li><li><span style="color: #e06666;"><a href="https://slack.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #e06666;">Slack</span></a> </span>~ New version than SMS, Whatsapp, WeChat, and Discord</li></ol>Revolutions have sparked up everywhere these past few years and now it has made itself on to social media.

For now, I will be giving you 'mainstream' stores to influence your wardrobe and style.</span></p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: Bangers;">Sunday Soho Longchamp Kith Love Only ALAND LOEWE H&M Fivestory Zara Aritzia Isalis Daily Paper The Shops NYC </span><span style="font-family: Bangers;">Chelsea Market </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Bangers;">BCBGMAXAZRIA</span><span style="font-family: Bangers;"> </span><span style="font-family: Bangers;"> </span><span style="font-family: Bangers;">Century 21</span><span style="font-family: Bangers;"> Bloomingdales </span><span style="font-family: Bangers;"> </span><span style="font-family: Bangers;"> Hudson Yards</span><span style="font-family: Bangers;"> </span><span style="font-family: Bangers;"> </span><span style="font-family: Bangers;">Westfield World Trade Center Levi </span><span style="font-family: Bangers;"> Primark</span></span><div><div><span style="font-family: Faustina;"><br />I am not into the name brand stores but from my massive vintage shopping blog post and this one truly covers all of the amazing places to shop in NYC. You would have to live and get around a lot to know these awesome places in NYC, so mine is just based on window-shopping. I rarely go to the city to shop rather have a great time with friends and family. I know this might sound crazy because I am a style blogger and CEO of a clothing brand but I actually dislike shopping, it takes up to much time I would rather see something and get it or shop online. Anyway, it is hard to find a brand with a good image and a societal impact. In New York there are thousands of stores to match your interest so why not explore the city while you enjoy the stores - I definitely do.</span><p></p></div><div><span style="color: #660000; font-family: DM Serif Display; font-size: large;">Till next time,</span></div><div><span style="color: #660000; font-family: DM Serif Display; font-size: large;">Natalia O.</span></div></div>Natalia O.http://www.blogger.com/profile/17404170782417087003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7151596599245912429.post-11341997322763080732021-02-22T08:00:00.002-05:002021-02-22T08:00:05.219-05:00Feed the Experience<p style="text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1152" data-original-width="2048" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9eUe77SHtKyjkbdqNwcehX91IgVwjgWUVT3D72vC1j0xyHjv7tsXExsY8iCSQ1nA1Lerm0jDgfch2qhMAeR6LRcVPdgnFy1zC2OQUHMYkUrZCaYGiNO_zqs-5i04JC22ahiSpZuF4IQ3c/w640-h360/Feed+the+Experience+Blog+Banner.png" width="640" /></div><p></p><p><span style="font-family: Quicksand;">It's all about feeding the experience when you go out to eat, that is the whole reason why people like to eat at places like Cheese Cake Factory or the whole concept of "Breakfast at Tiffany's" is for the standard of a high-quality experience. During this pandemic and weather crisis, everyone is trying to find new fun things to do to get their mind of the world's changes. Luckily, for you, I know the places... if you live in New York. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: Quicksand;">Many establishments have closed down during these hard times, but there are new ones that have strung-up or that have been thriving. If you are looking for cool restaurants to eat with friends and enjoy interactive activities, then look no further. My blog post has got the places for you. </span></p><span style="font-family: verdana;">1. <a href="https://www.pier17ny.com/dining/r17/" target="_blank">Pier 17</a></span><div><span style="font-family: Quicksand;">Also called the greens has cozy rooftop cabins for small intimate groups to enjoy a meal together. It is like a cabin in upstate New York but not, LOL! If you want to stay comfortable and also be outside your residence then this is the place. Call your closest friends and family and share these warm moments together. </span></div><div><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">2. <a href="https://skylinedriveinnyc.com/" target="_blank">Skyline Drive-In</a></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Quicksand;">I thought that drive-in movie theatres were extinct but this place is thriving. They have a great selection of modern-day movies for everyone in any age group to enjoy. I recommend bringing friends, family, or spouses to movie drive-ins for everyone to enjoy.</span><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">3. <a href="https://www.paintnpournyc.com/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=google_business_listing" target="_blank">Paint n' Pour</a></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Quicksand;">Is of course for adults only, but it is super cute. It's part bar and art studio, as their motto is "Paint like Picasso and drink like Van Gogh." I can't wait to be old enough to go here with friends, I totally recommend this place. I would even bring my mom or a chill friend that is not into the extravagant activities but a more </span><span style="font-family: Quicksand;">intimate</span><span style="font-family: Quicksand;">/social setting.</span></div><div><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">4. <a href="https://www.breakbarnyc.com/" target="_blank">The Break Bar</a></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Quicksand;">Do you have a lot of anger built -up from quarantining, then I have just the place to get it all out of your system; this bar/destruction room is where you finally let out some steam and wild out while drinking yourself silly. I do not like to break things or the sound of destruction but if this your thing, then go for it.</span></div><div><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">5.<a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/chinatown-food-crawl-restaurant-recovery-and-community-in-photos-2020-9" target="_blank"> Food Crawling in Chinatown</a></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Quicksand;">Chinatown is just my favorite place in the city from the food, people, and culture and I get to practice my mandarin; and sadly it is struggling with the massive shutdowns, so please go and try food crawling, which is just picking a street and bing to eat each eating establishment down the way. The food will, of course, be delicious and it, of course, an experience to try different things and culture. Bring friends and family and take a stroll through the infamous Chinatown.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Quicksand;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">6.<a href="https://abigailskitchennyc.com/" target="_blank"> Camel Bistro</a></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Quicksand;">This sounded crazy and cool to me because imagine eating in the dark like at, but here you are blind-folded, as the curiosity on what;'s on your plate is supposed to elevate your senses and taste buds. If you want to join in on the sensation of mystery then check this NYC bistro. I have major trust issues so I would definitely get anxious, but at the same time, this could be so relaxing. I could imagine planning a blind date here for someone.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Quicksand;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Quicksand;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Quicksand;">So, these places are for adults with licenses which I am neither but when I am I want to go and check these places out. I am about to turn 18 soon so that means I do not have to wait too long to try these places. Getting to the city now is not as bad as it used to be so there are only positives to planning these interactive experiences. I hope that you were at least inspired to try or find places of your own to visit.</span></div><div><br /></div><div><span style="font-family: Oswald; font-size: large;">Enjoy,</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Oswald; font-size: large;">Natalia O.</span></div>Natalia O.http://www.blogger.com/profile/17404170782417087003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7151596599245912429.post-63790138150436584432021-02-21T08:00:00.030-05:002021-02-21T08:00:00.197-05:00Yummy<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1152" data-original-width="2048" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4wrZkDrn28Ld8PHwEyNToKmxf58z47CxpQo0Dv_Ta7Q25PFYAlksFVsozltlS-KqLu2ZWlO43iDRZSz382ynjInutoiv0Il_nTbbXo96N51zmiDRJsNtmLiK0eWeFo6VTLg4Is1TdW9Os/w640-h360/yummy+Blog+Banner.png" width="640" /></div><p>Not Justin Bieber's song, Yummy... no, no!

I used to head into the city a lot during pre-Covid days and now I have not been in the city for a year, and I have missed new and amazing things that pop-up. The city that never sleeps is still vibing and thriving and I can not wait to see it again. </span></span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: Libre Baskerville; font-size: x-small;">But any adventures happen I need to evaluate places that are new and trending in the city right now. Though these places are trendy, they are still very exclusive because not everyone knows what and where the places to be are; I would say that I am only going for business and networking" purposes but I am just in awe and want to get out of my house. I have done a lot of 'research' [#tiktok]on the cool places to be in NYC. If you get a chance to go I differently recommend these places.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Libre Baskerville; font-size: x-small;">Of course, these places are Instagrammable locations because they are aesthetically pleasing. This post seems geared towards influencer's but they are very fun places to visit. </span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: medium;"><u>Outdoor Locations</u></span></p><p></p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>The Greenpoint NYC</li><li>Bryant Park</li><li>The Highline</li><li>Domino Park</li><li>5th Ave Manhattan</li><li>TWA Hotel</li><li>Four Freedoms Park</li><li>Bushwick Murals</li><li>The Vessel</li><li>Seaport Fidi</li><li>Brooklyn Bridge Park</li><li>Top of the Rock</li><li>Dumbo, Water Street</li><li>The Edge, Hudson Yards</li><li>Washington Square Park</li><li>The Met Cloisters</li><li>The Highline Hotel</li><li>Pepsi-Cola Sign</li><li>Two Bridges</li><li>The Greens</li></ul>__________________________________________________________________<div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Quicksand;

Tiktoks' new movement is called #Fashiontiktok and though there is no true hashtag, you'll know when you are invited. I have definitely stepped up my fashion, decor, and lifestyle because of TikTok. The whole reason for this blog was inspired by several classy female bloggers on the platform but that's story is for another post. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: David Libre;">TikTok trends come and go but good taste is everlasting. The influential force that is TikTok has the ability to bring consumers to small businesses, make people into influencer celebrity's, and change so many people's lives. I am not telling you to become an influencer or be fake famous but take all the resources that you find on the app to actually help you in your life. But be aware of not getting sucked into the TikTok vortex because it can leave you depressed or on a digital hangover. The year 2021 has yet to prove any improvements from 2020 so if the year is not going to change, then it should not stop you from growing as an individual. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: David Libre;">Though Cosmpolitan, Vogue, Elle, People's magazine might tell you who you should be following or who stays on top of trends... TikTok declares who truly is the best and most stylish with no other hype but its own. </span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: David Libre;">[The order of the names and accounts have nothing to do with ratings or popularity]</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Playfair Display;"><u>Fashion Tok Influencers:</u></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"></p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>Demi Diamadis |@demidiamadis| IG @demidiamadis</li><li>Tiffany Gregory |@tiffagtv| IG @tiffagtv</li><li>Shivani |@sleepingbeautxo |IG @s.h.i.vani</li><li>Labels with Lattes |@labelswithlattes | IG @labelswithlattes</li><li>Rebecca Ko |@rebeccaxko |IG @rebeccaxko</li><li>Summer Rachel Warren |@summerrachelwarren| IG@summerrachelwarren</li><li>Eve Lily |@evelilythrifts| IG2evelilycp</li><li>Liz Norris |@liznorris97|IG @liznorris97</li><li>Nava Rose |@thenavarose| IG @thenavarose</li><li>Madison Wild |@madisonxwild| IG@madisonxwild</li><li>Claudya Moreira |@claudyamoreira|IG@claudyamoreira</li><li>Sarita |@saritacuer|IG@saritacuer</li><li>Natasha |@natashahmedx| IG @natashahmedx</li><li>Grace Shadrack + Grace Foley |@graceandgracetiktok|</li></ul>...Hundred more accounts later you shall be a fashion icon LOL!

Definitely, as a child, I remember going to the mall with friends thinking that I would get scouted on the spot to be the next top model...If that was the case then most likely it was a scam. Nonetheless, let's get into becoming a professional model that gets paid and is well respected. </span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: Libre Baskerville;">Modeling can seem like a nonchalant career but it is actually vigorous from early mornings of flights or rides to hours-long photo shoots, and the rest of the hecticness that comes with modeling. Though, I am not a model myself I have worked as a stylist, makeup artist, and actress that can agree to the imaginable work-life of models. If you are interested in uncovering the truths and lifestyles of models then these are a few of my favorite models TikTok accounts: <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@cocorocha?lang=en" target="_blank"><span style="color: black;">@cocorocha</span></a>, <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@madelineaford?lang=en" target="_blank"><span style="color: black;">@madelineaford</span></a>, <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@tiffbaira?lang=en" target="_blank"><span style="color: black;">@tiffbaira</span></a>, <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@chalitanata?lang=en" target="_blank"><span style="color: black;">@chalitanata</span></a>, <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@kenzlawren?lang=en" target="_blank"><span style="color: black;">@kenzlawren</span></a>, <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@juliaakong?lang=en" target="_blank"><span style="color: black;">@juliaakong</span></a>, <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@mathieusimoneau?lang=en" target="_blank"><span style="color: black;">@mathieusimoneau</span></a>. A video that helped me debunk the overall severity of the Model Agency is Madeline Ford's <i><u><span><a href="https://youtu.be/8Cqs3fTMYIY" target="_blank"><span style="color: black;">How to start your modeling career in quarantine (from a full-time model)</span></a> </span></u></i></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Libre Baskerville;"><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/8Cqs3fTMYIY" width="560"></iframe></span></p><p><span style="font-family: Libre Baskerville;">Though this is one video and it did give me a great sense of understanding of how to be professional and get started as a model. Remember you are as beautiful and great as you are. If you have acne, scars, a little plump, or short, nevermind all that because in reality most models are and it either gets covered-up or photoshopped out. Plus, there are many different avenues of the modeling industry from product modeling, runway, editorial, commercial, and more. Don't get caught up in what you do not have or do not look like when you are the greatest version of yourself already.

Seriously, I struggled to pick up a pen and continue my notes on a blank page, I procrastinated so much that fell behind on my assignments. I started to take short-handed notes on post-it notes, random sheets of paper, and saved a ton of screen-shoots to my desktop. Since we're in a pandemic my state was on lockdown, and so was my state of mind. Finally, when I had no other options I put my pen to paper and took off writing and working on notes and class assignments. </span><span style="font-family: "Libre Baskerville";">Now, I can not remember why I was procrastinating or what my excuses were. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: Libre Baskerville;">I have realized how restraining lined paper is to work on because its boarders and fine lines prompt no creativity. Lined paper makes for a terrible work ethic and strategy to think within the lines instead of outside the box. More schools should enforce students to write on blank sheets of paper time to time to push there creativity. The drilled mind-set of only writing and turning in assignments on lined paper was all I knew and when I no longer had the resource, my work ethic and progress shattered; It took the discontinuation of lined paper to free myself to be liberated from the boarder restraints, which made me more adaptable towards my work. Though, I have a difficulty to write on lined paper, I am glad of the progress I have made. I feel liberated to write on blank pieces of paper and see the artistry that I have made on them after I am done; its a good problem to have.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Libre Baskerville;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #202124; font-size: 16px;">"There's nothing more</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #202124; font-size: 16px;"> exciting and </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #202124; font-size: 16px;">daunting</span><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #202124;"> than the blank page. ~</span><i style="color: #202124; font-size: 16px;">Booksmart</i><span style="color: #202124;">" And, I challenge you to start writing on blank pages and see what amazing things you come up with.

Even my personal aesthetic is <i>Bad & Boujee, </i>because I can not get enough of success and ownership. Making money is great and is even toxic behavior but the game of capitalism is the only game I am good at. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: Abhaya Libre;">I should not be the one telling you what do as my businesses are just getting started and still in planning stages but at least I am executing what I said I was going to do. Being an entrepreneur is not as easy as YouTube and TikTok videos and commercials make it seem; I think of businesses as my own little 'princesses' that I will financially and emotionally invest in, so that one day it will be a reigning 'queen'. That's what business is, in my terms, it is creating your empire with strategies, revolutions, and battles that you must seek to be the victor. (Wow! I was getting a little too into Game of Thrones)</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Abhaya Libre;">What I really mean is that you need grit to be your guide. Determination, passion, desperateness is great and all but they eventually run there course and your off to another idea. Grit is for long-term envisionments that become a reality through you. Especially if your are a women breaking into any industry or career, it is intrinsic that your consume the identity of whoever you want to be. For instance, I want to be a business tycoon that gets to be on the cover of Forbes magazine. If that is the type of woman I want to become, than I am physically already 'her' I just need to follow in 'her' foot-steps. Trust yourself and note that future you will be ready to carry your burdens and successes, but that only if you make the first step. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: Abhaya Libre;">You better leave your impostor syndrome in the game of Among Us, because you deserve all that you obtain. For all the reasons that you are successful is that it started with, YOU! Forget about all your mistakes and misfortunes when you can have it all. </span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Abhaya Libre;">Do Not feel guilty, Do not comprises your ambitions, Do not have any remorse when getting what you want.</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Abhaya Libre;">Your imagination has no limits, so why should your actions? Stop listening to the excuses of your underachieved self when the better version of yourself is just beginning. </span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Abhaya Libre;">Please join my Style Aesthetic movement of following your passions being Boss that you deserve to be.</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Abhaya Libre;">I want to encourage anyone and everyone to go ahead and be an executioner of ideas and goals.

In the in-between, you will put your qualification summary, like written and verbal communication, independently motivated, creative problem solver, any skills that will help you specifically in that position. Then write about experiences that are work and education-related, for what things you pick up from them, whether degrees or leadership positions, and the time spent there. For fun, you can put awards or achievements to show that you are not only career orientated but know how to strive for goals, but you can also simply replace it with passion projects you have been working on for instance my team and I won first place for the Regional Ethics Bowl Competition but for a passion project I have two blogs and a podcast. You want to exert yourself as the most brilliant and confident person in that time of your life for why you deserve the position or promotion. </span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.44; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-top: 12pt;"><span style="color: black; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: Playfair Display; font-size: large;"><i>I wish you all the best,</i></span></span></p><p><span><i><span id="docs-internal-guid-492e90bc-7fff-7885-6b6c-c5348a972b24" style="font-family: Playfair Display; font-size: large;"></span></i></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.44; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-top: 12pt;"><span style="color: black; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: Playfair Display; font-size: large;"><i>Natalia O.</i></span></span></p>Natalia O.http://www.blogger.com/profile/17404170782417087003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7151596599245912429.post-70978233180262502942020-10-01T08:00:00.001-04:002021-01-23T11:35:31.061-05:00How to Write an Essay in the 21st Century<p style="text-align: center;"> <span style="font-family: "Fjalla One"; text-align: center;"> </span><img height="351" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/5XXsJVE4ZdB5yF4g4Up-pt9pVL9VsF38hhh6xxc5mGMf4YDhgxNkdmx_hZsQTy7hc865Fjd_zBngXTl8ot3zCL2Dm28-1ZWaiXvpwpAQPhwegRataNWcxoZaS1-ikIN_V0bbiS65" style="font-family: "Fjalla One"; font-size: 11pt; margin-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center; white-space: pre-wrap;" width="624" /></p><span id="docs-internal-guid-df451de6-7fff-148a-d1f0-7c9aa767e752"><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather;">September is a few days away, and do you know what that means?!

You don't need English to be your first language, claim it as your favorite subject, have a tutor, or even write something uselessly for a grade. Writing an essay isn't as hard as it seems, and I will guide you through it, whether you are writing the essay weeks or the night before, I can help you with these tips and resources.</span></span></p><span style="font-family: Merriweather;"><br /></span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather;">Before you start typing away, you should have subject references; you know like class notes, annotations, highlighted key points, or even a YouTube transcript.

As a young adult I believe that school establishes everyone with three careers: academic career, social career, and a hobby career; for some certain careers won’t be existent but it will try to stimulate a balance between them for others. Maybe because I attend private school that I have found that school is critical for character development.</span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet;"> </span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet;">Though I cannot speak for everyone, I do know that one thing that is essential to your academic and social career is to be respected, which will carry on into the rest of your life.

But just like getting good grades in order to be respected you need to earn it.</span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;

If you are luckily enough to be in the financial position to acquire hidden treasures then this is the blog post for you.</span></span></p><span style="font-family: Rokkitt;"><br /></span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.44; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="color: #0e101a; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: Rokkitt;">I love thrift shopping and upcycling clothes because of the crazy fashion fact that the fashion industry is one of the most landing pollution contributors. Especially, luxury brands and certain thrift shops will burn or throw away stuff at the end of every season instead of having a clearance; So, thrift-shopping isn't just trendy but environmentally friendly. Some of my most precise clothing was found at thrift shops and open markets.</span></span></p><span style="font-family: Rokkitt;"><br /></span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.44; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Rokkitt;"><span style="color: #0e101a; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span></span><span style="color: #0e101a; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">If you are ready to join the thrifting community of other places (New York) or online then here is what you need to know:</span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.44; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="color: #0e101a; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: Rokkitt;">Though thrift shopping can be size-selective as there are certain size privileges you can still always find something for any type of person. There is always a ton of cool stuff like once I found a pink houndstooth suit that made me look like I belonged in clueless or the time that I found a Gucci sunglasses case with a toilette for $3; I mean Hello Gucci!!! Again, thrift shopping is about getting stuff to get but a generous exchange, because my ideology is to prioritize and already know the type of pieces I am looking for and that whatever I buy won't end back-up at a thrift store, either becomes a handy-me down or upcycled...If you can’t find a suitable in-person or online thrift place then it's not you, it's the places.</span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.44; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Rokkitt;"><span style="color: #0e101a; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span></span><span style="color: #0e101a; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">For instance, I dearly shop at my local thrift shop, I hand it to the city to check out </span><a href="https://beaconscloset.com/" style="text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="color: #d5a6bd; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Beacon's Closet</span></a><span style="color: #0e101a; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> and others.

I am in awe of those types of arts, I even joined The Arts University of San Francisco for pre-college art courses.
