An enchanted place, by the name of Lake Arrowhead is where a 14 year old girl spent her spring break with her friends and family. In case you didn't know yet, that 14 year old girl is me! This spring break I was even more curious about the existence of this lake, so I decided to do some research and share it with you!
Lake Arrowhead was not always know as Lake Arrowhead. In the very beginning, a fur trader by the name of Jedediah Smith was the first white man to step on Little Bear Valley. He is the reason that Little Bear Valley( Lake Arrowhead) is populated. What I was VERY surprised to find out was that Lake Arrowhead is an artificial lake! It's purpose was to irrigate water to the San Bernardino Valley. However, because of the limited amount of supplies, the construction for this dam turned into a resort where people like me, escape to this part of Southern California to relax and take in the nature around them.

ACAI
ACAI!!! One of my favorite foods. Therefore I'm dedicating this whole blog post to Acai because I want to share this love with more people, like you!
Acai is commonly found in the Amazon region. It's harvested from slender, tall, and palm looking like trees. For many centuries, this delicious dark purple berry was the main source of food for the Amazon natives. The name Acai (ä-ˌsä-ˈē) originated from the "Legend of Iaca". Iaca was a girl who saved her tribe from starvation by discovering this wonder berry. Hence the name Acai, which is Iaca backwards. One of the main reasons I love this berry so much is because of it's high level of antioxidants. Antioxidants counteract your body's damaging effects and helps prevent cell damage. Studies have shown that Acai actually has one of the most amount of antioxidants. In addition, it also has vitamin E, vitamin A, and many other nutrients. I've only recently discovered this berry and thought you might enjoy learning about it. See you next week!

Primer and Moisturizer
Helloooo guys! Today I will be talking about my favorite and most essential beauty hacks for all ages!
Primer and moisturizer. You may be thinking " Umm yeah... I don't need this", but first let me explain what it is. When you apply foundation, concealer, do color correcting etc..you dry your skin. Then you have to choose between looking fierce and healthy skin. Using a moisturizer locks in hydration and helps keep your skin healthy so that you don't face the makeup struggle. Next up is a primer. A primer prevents product from entering your pores and making them bigger. It also reduces the appearance of acne and makes your skin smoother. There are different types of primers and moisturizers based on the type of skin that you have and the result that you want to get. If you do choose to try this, you would apply the moisturizer first, then the primer with all your products after. I am on a mission to save your skin!
