Spending Analysis$
This activity helps us to keep up with the spending of Money. For the next few weeks we are to blog
are spending. I have recently been taking into consideration the amount of money I spend a week. I spend majority of my money on
unnecessary food and clothing.
Hopefully by doing this activity I can limit the amount of money I spend. I hope to change my habits and develop better ways of saving my money. In college you are very limited to money and the older I get the more responsibilities I have. As I mentioned before majority of my money goes to food. I need to make a list of the food that I need and only purchase those food items. I noticed I eat out a lot. It may be a lot cheaper if I start preparing my own lunch.
I also spend unnecessary money on clothing. But with the Fashion Detox assignment it kind of helped me to say no. I know try to only buy the things that I need. I am nervous about using excel. Excel is not something I am strong at doing, but I am sure that it will not be too bad.
We are recently started using info graphics in one of my other classes. I am excited about using it. Infographics gives you a visual way to process different information. I think that info graphics will help me see the amount of money I am spending by using graphs and charts. I am a visual learner so i will like this method alot.
I do hope this activity helps me to change my spending habits. I hope to become a better spender and be able to spend money wisely.
I hope to learn how to only buy things of importance and budget my money.

Article Review
The first article I read was about technology taking the place of current jobs. I agree and disagree on the topic.
The reason I agree is because some technology has taken jobs. Back in the later years a lot of jobs were controlled by men. Many factories had men to work in them and create and control many things. As technology advances some of those jobs have been replaced by robots and machines. Since technology has advanced, it has helped to speed up the process of creating goods and products.
The reason I don’t agree is because there has to be someone to control the technology and make sure it is going as planned. That’s when they need to hire someone. Although technology is good to have, it sometimes causes glitches and need someone to fix them. So although technology has replaces some jobs, it also need someone to make sure everything is going as planned.
The second article was about social media. There were also other articles related to social media also. The first article I read was on managing your social media. Social media can be a great way to advertise you business is special events. Social media is a great way to help a business but it can also hurt someone. It is important to now post or say any inappropriate things on social media. I also read in an article how you can use social media to help find jobs. By using media like LinkedIn can help you build your resume and also put your name out there. It is also a good thing to connect with Google. One article discussed morality and political issues. Although we all share the freedom of speech it’s important to sometimes watch what you say on certain social sites.
Social Media has helped so many people over the years. It also has given people the ability to network and find different jobs.

Today I want to share a little knowledge about chapters 5-6 of Enchantment.
Chapter Five
This chapter was basically about storytelling and how to get people to consider embracing you. Story telling allows someone to know more about you and not just alot of information.
It also talks about planting seedds. This means to influence others. Just dont go to interview with just information, but present yourself on a personal level also. This chapter teach also how to gain your followers, what employers are looking for and what should you look for.
Chapter Six
This chpater is on how to overcome resistance. Sometimes people are scared to make choices due to failure. The chapter discusses fear of making a mistake. The book stated that some believe that if you do not make a choice, you cant make a mistkae. This chapter also discuss providing social proof. Social proof is the concept that if other prople are doing something then it must bo OK,right, cool, and maybe even optimal. Creating the perception of Ubiquity and creating the perception of scarcity is also mentioned in this chapter.
I enjoyed reading!!! Until next time:)

Slogan:
Love it, Change it, or Leave it
Checklist:
I have high hopes to one day open up my own hair and clothing boutique. The fashion industry has always been a passion of mine. I also enjoy styling hair and installing hair exstensions. I hope to first start off with my clothing boutique. I hope to name it "Fab Boutique". I have not planned out everything just yet. But I do have in mind what I would like to do.
My Story!!
I was literally born prissy,girly,a diva, ANYTHING that was for little girls I had to have it. At the age of only three I wanted to be Fabulous. I was always walking around in my mother's heels playing dress up. So yeah, fashion has always been a passion of mine. Around the 8th grade I found a new love which was art. My art teacher sparked an interest in drawing in me and I loved it. I began drawing and designing clothes. Once I was taught the basics of art my imagination ran wild. I was always eager to draw and design anything.
When I got into college I did not choose the major I wanted. I basically chose majors that my parents wanted me to have, and I HATED it. I quickly started exploring different majors and changed it to something I love. I am currently an Advertising major with a minor in Fashion Merchandising. I love the major I chose because It gives me the ability to design and use my creative skills. And of course I greatly enjoy my minor because it is definatly a passion of mine.
Im on a long road to success and I am learning everyday. I can honestly say I feel positive about my career and have hopes of becoming the person I know I can be. You are looking at the next Oparh!!!!! :)

Ending the Fashion Detox
YAY!!!! The Fashion Detox is officially Over!!
This was a difficult four weeks. This was a fun, yet challenging activity. Not being able to purchase any clothing items was difficult. The first week went okay. The second week also wasn’t too bad. The third week was very challenging.
During the third week I was very close to purchasing a watch. It took everything in me to not get it. After going weeks without shopping, I felt weak. Although I wanted to give up, I fought the urge to shop. This week wasn’t too bad. This was the last week, I felt relieved that it was almost over.
I also have plans on buying as soon as this week is over.
FINAL COMMENTS
I am glad that I did well on the Fashion Detox. I survived the four weeks. It was fun to keep up with my thoughts and to blog. Each week got a little difficult. Sometimes I forgot about the detox and was close to buying a few items. What helped out a lot was staying from the mall. It also helped to stay away from online clothing sites.
This activity taught me how to limit my spending. This activity helped out a lot. I am daily trying to cut down on how much I spend. I even tried hiding my credit card and cash. The best thing is to put your priorities first. It’s not very important to buy clothes and shoes. This detox taught me how sometimes I waist my money. I buy things I really don’t need. This detox also reminds me of how much I spend on food. I am trying to limit the amount of money I spend on food also. I’m glad I saved money on the fashion detox.
THIS COMPLETES MY FASHION DETOX BLOG HOPE YOU ENJOYED!!!
