Books

Hello!

So I read a lot...like, I have read everything. This has gotten to the point where I no longer have any more series or classics that I think I will enjoy.

I am not a big fan of most teen and adult books because they are either really mature or about vampires...both of which I will pass thanks.

Please let me know one of your favorite series or book so I can give it try. Together, we will become the Power Book Club!

Love,
Clara

Alice in Wonderland Dress Up Character

Hello!
I wanted to share one of my most recent creations with you using a wonderful website called Azalea's Dolls. It is a site where you can use different "games" to create different themed paper doll like creations. Sorry if that was confusing, but it is a little difficult to explain. Anyway, link first: http://azaleasdolls.com/

I made this doll using the "Alice in Wonderland" game. I think this site is absolute genius...it combines a love for fashion, beauty and creativity all in one. I'm not sure how they are created, but the "exclusive games" are all exclusive and made by the creator of the website.

So, my creation:



I love it to pieces! I wish I had something like it!

So yeah....I highly recommend the site to any lovers of beauty, fashion or even storytelling! I write a lot of stories, and enjoy making my characters using these games.

Love,
Clara

Songwriting Help Please! + Favorite Vacationing Spot

Hello!

So I have always loved music. I've played the violin since I was seven, and whenever I work or study, I turn on music. But I've always wondered how to write my own music, because I feel like I could have some talent at that and some good things to write about.

But I don't know anything about chords or chord progression because I play a strictly melodic instrument.

So, if you are a musician, and you could help me learn something about chords and how to put them together, please comment. I would absolutely love an opinion from someone who really knows.

Anyway, on a different note:

Summer vacation is coming up soon!  I am absolutely pumped.

Every year, I go to Michigan for vacation. Lake Michigan is my favorite place to swim, plus the countryside is amazing. Michigan has it all: forests, lakes, rivers, hills etc. etc.

Where is your favorite vacationing spot?

Love,
Clara

Product Review: EOS Shaving Cream

Hello!

So, while thinking of possible blog posts, it occurred to me that I could review one of my most very favorite products of all time!

EOS Shaving Cream in the scent Pomegranate Raspberry.

This stuff is magical. It smells like you have died, gone to heaven, possibly have been nominated for sainthood and then brought into the special place for saints where everything smells amazing.

Besides the smell, it is so moisturizing! I can shave with it, and even a couple of days later, my skin is really smooth.

Here's a link: http://evolutionofsmooth.com/shave-cream/pomegranate-raspberry-ultra-moisturizing-shave-cream.html

I hope that made your day (and your showering experience) a little bit better!
Love,
Clara

Welcome to the Beginning


Welcome Everyone!

My name is Clara Hali Applewood. Today is the start of my first blog, obviously, and I just wanted to make note of a few things:

1. This is very much an experiment. I have a lot of interests, but not sure where to begin or what kind of posts to make.

2. Because of reason one, your input is very much appreciated.

I hope this is a wonderful experience for us both. Thanks for reading, and if you are interested on embarking on this journey with me, follow!

Much love and huzzah!
