Colour me beautiful :)

On Friday the 15th of October two image consultants from "Colour me beautiful" came in to talk to us. The talk was about clothes, fashionand colour analysis. The women started off by telling our class that there are six different groups that peple are allocated to depending on their skin tone, Eye colour and hair colour. the groups are called: warm, soft, light, deep, cool and clear. I was told that I am a soft. This means that i have light brown hair and green eyes and my skin complection also matches. Other people who would be included in the soft group would be people with dirty blonde or mousy coloured hair with green , Blue or brown eyes but they must be dark colours. Your skin tone in this category would be slightly tanned to sallow. Colours that suit me are beige, brown, green, nude, coral (all of these colours must be worn in a soft shade, hence the name of the group.)

          During the talk we also participated in a style personality test. In this test you answer questions about the fasion stykles that appeal to your personality and whether you find your appearance to be important or you wouldn't put a lot of emphasis on it. My result was a romantic style personality. This means that i like lace, Frills, bows and girly styles. In this particular category we are said to enjoy getting ready and going out and take a long time to get ready. That definitely describes me so it looks like the women know what they are talking about! :)

Young scientist project :D

Myself, Alison and Jessica have entered ourselves into the BT young scientist competition this year. Our project is about the bacteria that lives on our money. We are trying to create awareness about the amount of bacteria that lurks on money and hopefully we can create a product that can reduce the amount of bacteria we have on our money. If we successfully make this product our aim would be to put it in cash registers and ATMs that could disinfect the money when needed. We have been in contact with a professor of microbiology in Trinity who has been voluntarily helping us with our project. We will find out in November if we have been accepted to the exhibition!

Mini company talk(:

On Monday a woman called Orlaigh from the Kildare Enterprise board came in to talk to our class and Emnet the other mini company class about our ideas for our mini companies. Myself and five other classmates are in a group together for this. Our product is a ring binder book which contains images, tips and instructions on how to achieve that natural and flawless daytime look.Our book will also include everyday hairstyles that are effortless and look great! we will also have a section in our book where you can follow the step by step guide to get the sheek and creative going out at night look. Throughout the book there will be skin care tips and health advice on how to keep your skin, hair and body at its best. Orlaigh suggested to us that even though the book is a good idea books are very common in the competition and because of this would not be given a very good chance in the competition. She advised my group to create a website instead, where we can publish all of the information and pictures that we were going to include in the book. As many girls in our school had really wanted the book we decided to do both. We are going to have the book with easy to find tabs and then a website also where the book can be downloaded at a fraction of the original price. We decided this would be a good idea as everyone would be kept happy with this method. To top of the day today we received our permission from our principal to go ahead with our idea. Hopefully it will be a success :)

Geography project

Transition has brought a lot of projects and hard work with it and one of these projects includes our geography project. In our geography project we have to plan a trip for ourselves to a country of our own interest. It would be helpful if this country had a lot of interesting sites and unique festivals. Our budget for our trip is €10,000. With our project we have to include flight details, accomodation , interesting facts about the country and the citizens from that country. My project is based on countries from the first world. I have to pick two countries from the first world to do this on. One of the countries i have chosen is Italy. I have chosen this country because i have visited it before and found that it has a lot of unique places that interest me. I want learn more about Italy and hopefully if i plan my trip well enough someday i may be able to follow my plan and visit all of the places. The places i would like to visit include : Pompeii and Herculaneum, Venice, Rome and the Colesseum, the Leaning Tower of Piza, Vatican city and i want to visit Milan during Milan fashion week. I have found this picture of Venice and the gondolas on google images.
