To Do's

I've been researching my content and I think it's time to take more pictures! While it is important to have quality material, it is also important for the appearance to be quality.  I am unsure of what I want to focus on for my two page spread. This is what is going to show what my magazine is really about. It's the only part of the assignment I get to go in depth with my topic. Do I focus on the food, beauty, or fitness, or everything, or maybe even nothing at all (hehe just kidding)?

I also want to start coming up with the story ideas and titles for my table of contents and the pictures that go with them. This should include everything I am not including in the two page spread, but want my readers to know what else I intend to offer in my completed magazine.

I am going to do a lot of outdoor activities this weekend (praying that the weather is nice this weekend and am hoping that I didn't just jinx it) and will be ready to take pictures of awesome food and awesome nature scenes.

Do sweat it!

For the beauty portion of my magazine (Humanism) I am going to include natural ways to clear your skin while clearing your mind. This is a win win here and the even bigger win (as if it could get any better) is that you are spending zero dollars and are saving your skin from unnecessary chemicals and harsh products.

I did not do any research prior to unintentionally testing the theory that sweating helps clear your face. I have been on a healthy organic kick and that means going to the gym make up free. I did it just because I felt cleaner, but now I have noticed a significant change since then. I then researched it to prove that I'm not crazy.

According to Medical Daily, sweating opens your pours and releases the build up that is inside them. This could help clear pimples and blemishes and can reduce the chances of them forming in the future. It also detoxifies your body from toxins.

Clearing your body naturally is so beneficial. When using products, your body becomes reliant on them. If you stop using a product you will lose all the progress you have worked so hard to make (:().

What you eat also reflects the state of your skin. Drinking water and avoiding fatty oils can help keep your skin clear, hydrated, and glowing. The more you drink the more you will sweat. It's really just a beautiful cycle.
