Entry #10 Christmas time

Image
 Although Halloween is my favorite holiday, Christmas comes just as close. Christmas to me is so special and makes me feel special. I love spending time with the people i love most.  The origins of Christmas trees can be found in 16th-century Germany, when Christians decorated and brought evergreen trees into their homes. Normally we put lights up and candy canes all on our trees, but they would use, apples, almonds, wafers, tinsel, and candles.  My favorite tradition with my family is going up to flagstaff and cutting our own tree down. I love spending time with my family, and we always have so much fun during our tree camping trip.  Another family tradition is going to  Glendale Glitters . I've been going to Glendale glitters since i was in 4th grade!! It's my favorite thing to do and I'm always excited to spend that time with my family. I love walking around and looking at the night sipping hot chocolate. I'm looking forward to going with my family and my boy...

After a long day at work, you just want to go home and eat. But cooking dinner is sometimes a long process and fast food is always just right around the corner. Most of the time we go to fast food because it is quick and easy, and we are used to fast service. Do we ever think about how bad that food is for us and how badly it affects our bodies?  According to  Here’s How Fast Food Can Affect Your Body – Cleveland Clinic . They talk about how the fast foods we eat affects us in different ways such as, high cholesterol, digestive problems, weight gain, lack of energy, and mood swings.

 On your daily sleep schedule how often do you actually sleep about seven hours? Now, how often do you think about why it is important to get enough sleep. Now i know we all get busy and have things to do, but sometimes and most of the time sleep can be really efficient.  An average adult is supposed to get seven hours of sleep. If you are getting that amount of sleep that's good for you. Now how many of you are reading this and don't get seven hours of sleep a night.

blog #7 Fresh

After watching the first couple of minutes of the film  Fresh , made me realize that no one really thinks about what, who, or where our food is made. One thing that we can all agree on is inconvenience. We are all very we want this, we don't care why it taste so good, and as long as we have it quick. Instead of taking our time and really look into what we are about to eat.  After all the talking, it actually made me start to wonder where all the food is coming from. Who is actually making the food i eat. Also, what kind of products are they using that we are not aware of.  Nobody really knows what harmful chemicals are being put into the food we eat. The purpose of the film fresh talks about how we can solve that as a community.  The system we are using now is very unhealthy for everyone consuming these bad products. Showing people what goes into the food and how its process might help a little bit. I think it is now important to pay attention to what we put into our...
