Shopping

I really love going to northpark and shopping with my friends. I usually prefere to go with just one friend if I am just shopping but a big group if we are going to hang out or eat lunch or something. My favorite stores at northpark:

Forever21- Every thing in that store is so inexpensive so its a great place to stop up on trendy things that probably will only be in for one season because you don't feel like you have wasted a lot of money! Its also a great place to go shopping at the last minute like for partys when you have nothing to wear!

J Crew- I love J Crew sweaters-in fact im kind of addicted to them. I have six sweaters from there which I realize seems like alot but they all serve very different purposes. There styles are always classic so you can wear them year after year which is great because you definitely get you moneys worth.

Lilly Pulitzer- I definitely love going in their store! The bright clothing and decor inside the store make it so much fun to go in! I absolutely love their clothes but they are kind of expensive so usually when I go in I just look around. Though I don't think the people who work in there really like me all that much because I usually don't spend more than like $30 when I go in there and they really only like customers who give them lots of business.

Nordstrom- Such a great store! You can find designer shoes, handbags, cosmetics, clothing and about anything else all under one roof!
Panda Express- I am not really one for fast food but Panda Express is my favorite place in the food court. You never have to wait in line for more than a few minutes which is great for impatient people like myself. I LOVE the orange chicken they have over a bed of steamed rice and some soy sauce. Its purely delicious!

Sephora- Sephora is a great place because you can be in there for 45 minutes trying on all the expensive makeup and they wont care. In fact they usually offer to give you one of their free make overs which I really dont reccomend because they usually put on way to much makeup. I myself have never gotten one but after seeing the people that have I think I don't want one.

Tables

In web design we are learning how to insert tables in our web pages. It is really cool because you can even add colors into the boxes. I added pale pink, aqua, and pale yellow because these colors remind me of Spring and Easter! I know that you put data in tables but I don't know what data I should use in the table we have to create. Does anyone have any ideas???

Sharks!!

Ok so as previously mentioned I am going to Florida this year for Spring Break! I think its going to be really fun! I was talking to my friend Ellie who is like really shark savvy and she was telling me about shark dangers in Florida. So she says that Great Whites can only be found around Africa and such but still hammerheads kind of scare me I mean have you seen the size of there teeth?? Well anyways she says if I swim in th eocean I probably won't get attacked but still I think I will just swim in the pool at the resort I am staying at!

Wow that looks really scary! Wouldn't you just be terrified if you were the person in that kayak??

Weakest Web Page

I would probably have to say that my weakest webpage is my about HTML page. It's not a bad page but it was our first webpage so the design is nothing special. It has my logo on it but aside from that it is just a plain webpage with a colorful background. I like my other pages better simply because they have embeded images, links to other pages, lists, or more interesting design.

Spring Break!!!

I just can't wait spring break! It comes at the perfect time of the year when we are all burned out from school and everybody needs a break. I am going to a small island in Florida on the Gulf Coast. I absolutely love going to the beach and I really wish I could go every year! The island we are going to is so fun and because it's so small people drive golf carts instead of cars and you can ride bikes all over the island. It's going to be such a blast and I plan on waking up early and walking down the beach looking for shells and swimming in the water. I hope yall have great breaks as well!

Optical Illusions

Optical Illusions are visuals that play tricks on the mind. You think you are looking at one thing but then it turns out to be different or its just a cool picture that appears differently. Does it surprise you to find out that this is a static image? Yes thats right this image is not moving though it appears that way. This is just one fun optical illusion that I have come across but there are many more out there!

What I Have Learned(about colors)

In web design class we have gotten to make our own pages all about colors on the web! It's so cool! We had to find the information on our own which was a bit challenging at times but we got to include our own pictures which was fun. I added a picture of the color wheel and the chart of colors with recognizable names to a computer. Most colors have a specific hexadecimal value that must be entered into the computer but a few colors have specific names to save people from having to find a specific value. Some of these colors are fuschia, blue, aqua, and lime to name a few. In designing my color page I learned so much about colors on the web! I learned about colorblindness and discovered a colorblind filter page where you can check any web page and they show you what it would look like to a colorblind person.
