-iPod Cover
-Little Plastic Drawers for Make-up
-Big Drawers for Closet
-Under Bed Sto-away Thing
-Drawer for Jewelry
-Clothes Hangers
-Coat Rack
Seem like a lot of stuff? Yea I know..and I'll have to pay for it all. That's why I'm always babysitting and life guarding and teaching swim lessons. It's all for the green baby.
Ohhhhhhh!!! and guess what I just got in the mail that I'm really excited about!!! An autographed picture of Daniel Radcliffe. Yea I know this may seem weird or juvenile but I love him..and Harry Potter..I'm a nerd, get over it. (: But yes, it is my third picture from him..or at least his assistants, and I'm just a tad bit excited.
SIDE NOTE-When I scanned the picture it only scanned the picture part. In reality there's a thick, white border around that picture and that's where he signed it. So don't think I'm lying!!!

Weight Problems?
92% of teen girls would like to change something about the way they look, with body weight ranking the highest.
75% of teenage girls felt 'depressed, guilty and shameful' after spending just three minutes leafing through a fashion magazine.
74% of girls say they are under pressure to please everyone
3 out of 4 girls say they feel pressure to be "super girls"
74% say they often feel stressed
So tell me, with these stats why do we feel this way? And trust me, I'm as guilty as everyone. I call myself fat on a daily basis..but why? Why do we feel this way about ourselves? Why do we call ourselves fat and ugly, even if we aren't? And it's really only in girls. I don't think I've ever heard of a boy not eating because he thinks he's fat, or puking himself every time he thinks he eats too much. So what is it with girls that makes them criticize themselves so much. Is it the images on TV and in magazines? Is it that we think that everyone else is criticizing us so we criticize ourselves? And I've noticed with myself that a lot of the time I call myself fat or ugly just so someone can contradict me, just so someone will tell me "no, you're not, you're perfect and beautiful just the way you are." But not everyone has someone to tell them that, so they just go on with low self-esteem. Let's try something, let's try to love ourselves for who we are and what we look like, no matter what anyone else says. (:
