Big Hair and a Book

 This post is an essay that I wrote for my junior year of high school/freshman year of college English class. It’s a personal literacy essay where I discuss my experience with books. I hope you like it.  Throughout my entire life, including now, people always recognize me by my hair. Curly, brown,  and perpetually frizzy hair. My trademark. Although hair is important to who I am, I think books will  forever be the biggest part of me.            According to my mother, I started reading when I was 3, I can’t corroborate that since I don’t  remember being 3. In fact, I don’t remember much of my childhood. But I remember the books I read.  There were 3 extremely important books that have shaped my entire life, or at least my life until now,  but I can almost guarantee that they will always be important to me. These books represent different  types of reading, or different reasons you might read.   The first type is reading for knowledge, represented by the Egyptology book. As a child I wa

My Favorite Body Sprays

 Hello hello! I know it's super late but it's still the 5th and I am posting just like I promised! Today I have whipped up a list of some of my favorite body sprays from Bath & Body Works, Bodycology, and Body Fantasies. 


#1 Strawberry Poundcake from Bath & Body Works 
This could very easily be one of the sweetest body sprays I own. It smells like vanilla, strawberries, and cake. What more could you want?! 

#2 Fresh White Musk from Body Fantasies 
This is the cheapest body spray I own, and it's the perfect base spray for so many fragrances. It smells so clean and fresh like you just got out of the shower. If you're looking for a clean girl fragrance for cheap, you should totally try this one. 

#3 Pink Vanilla Wish from Bodycology 
This smells like vanilla and the color pink. There's a bit of florals in there that gives it a lovely feminine touch. I love a good vanilla. 

#4 Cotton Candy Clouds from Bath & Body Works 
This one smells like spun sugar and vanilla (Are you noticing a pattern?). It's super sweet and girly and the packaging is fabulous. 

#5 Warm Vanilla Sugar from Bath & Body Works 
A classic. An absolute classic. This is one of the most iconic Bath & Body Works fragrances of all time. If you don't have this in your collection what are you doing? This is the best vanilla for layering and for fall. 

#6 Japanese Cherry Blossom from Bath & Body Works 
Another classic and my personal favorite. Call me an old lady but I love a good floral scent. I've been wearing this since elementary school and I will never stop. 

#7 Fresh Cocout & Cotton from Bath & Body Works 
This is actually a fairly new drop, AND I ABSLOUTELY LOVE IT!!! It's so strong and smells like such lovely coconut and laundry. A good tropical but also clean smell. Super good for layering. 

#8 Pink Chiffon from Bath & Body Works 
Another classic. A super girly warm vanilla scent that almost smells a bit like cotton candy. Very sweet but not sickening. Although, I wouldn't mind smelling nauseatingly sweet. 

#9 Coconut Hibiscus from Bodycology 
This one of my favorite scet combos of all time. Super tropical, sweet, and fresh. It's also fairly strong and the body lotion is lovely. 

That's all for today folks! As always I hope you enjoyed reading this post! If you did, please subscribe to my emailing list and follow my Pinterest so that you can stay updated on my latest posts! Come back next month for more words from Willow!

I DID AN INTERNSHIP AT FRED HUTCH!!!!!!!!

 Ok, I have a word limit for this so I'll just give you guys a bit of background info on what this is then I'll get into the post because this post is actually an assignment for the internship.  1.  This  is Fred Hutch  2.  This  is the internship I did  So I  have a few favorite things from this internship, ranging from the scenery to the labs. (Mostly the labs) But the thing I loved the most, were the tours. Seeing the labs and meeting people who work there and what they do is fantastic.  This is from the first tour, a picture of the view from the sky bridge. Yes, a skybridge!  Unfortunately, I didn't get any pictures of labs when we did tours, but I did get pictures from the labs that we did.  This is from a PCR lab. PCR stands for polymerase chain reaction. It essentially makes a bunch of copies for a specific gene. Copies are made by putting DNA into a thermocycler. Changes in temperature can change the bonds of the DNA, for example, heat breaks the hydrogen bonds, col

New Years Resolution Inspo

Hello! Happy New Year (if you celebrate)!  Today I'll be sharing some New Years' resolution ideas. Maybe you're out of ideas, think you're doing alright (good for you!), or perhaps you're like me and did not think about resolutions at all and now people are asking you about them and you need to come up with something.  1. Doing more of what you love!  This one's pretty obvious, but I think that you can never spend too much time doing the things you love. Everyone needs things that make them happy, whether it's baking, writing, or dancing.  2. Moving more often  When I say "moving" I mean exercising, but not to change how you look. You should work out for health, better joints, and to be strong in my opinion.  3. Reading more  This has been one of my eternal goals since I knew what goals were. But it's even more important now since we live in such a tech-savvy world. We need to disconnect from the wires, and what better way to do that than to st
