Neuroscience & Me

Hello! This is my final project for my Neuroscience class. This is all my own work so please don’t copy it. Some of the links and works cited may not work because some are link that came from the Canvas site for my class.  Neuroscience & Me Willow V.                           My interest in psychology began when I discovered a show in sixth grade that I’m now obsessed with, “Criminal Minds.” At first, I was mostly interested in criminal and forensic psychology, so I started taking psychology classes and doing research to prepare myself for what I thought I was going to be, a behavioral analyst for the FBI. As I started my journey, I discovered that I actually really enjoy doing research and authoring reports, so now my dream career is to be a psychological researcher. I’m honestly interested in all aspects of psychology, but I want to focus on studying under-represented popu...

5 of the Best Girly Gifts!

 Hello! Today I will be talking about some of the best girly gifts (in my opinion) since Christmas and the time when every 2 days it's someone's birthday is on its way. Side note: why are so many people born in Winter and Fall? It seems like so many more people are born then. 


Since a lot of the pictures used in this post aren't mine, but screenshots I took from links, I would like to direct you to my disclaimer page so that I don't get copyrighted or sued. The pictures of the products here are not mine, and I will give credit for where I got them from. If I have used one of your products photos and you would like me to take it down, please contact me. 

1. The Revlon One-Step Hairdyer Photo credits: Amazon 



I personally have not used this, but I've heard great things about it. It seems to be a more affordable alternative for fancy blowout brushes or getting your hair done professionally. I'm not a professional hairstylist, but that seems like a nice deal to me, especially considering some blowout brushes can be $100 or more. 

2. Soft by Al Rehab Photo credits: Amazon 


I haven't tried this one either, but I am planning on getting it. I put this here to generally recommend fragrances as a gift. Specifically Arabic fragrances, which you can get here at Arabian Oud. You can also find plenty on Amzon, like this one that I really want, Layali Rouge by Swiss Arabian. From what I've heard, Arabic fragrances are supposed to be so strong you can smell them through the wall. 

3. Perfume Discovery Sets Photo credits: Amazon 

If you want to get someone perfumes, but don't want to spend a bunch of money, look into perfume discovery sets. Discovery sets include sample sizes of a perfume house's best selling or samples from a specific collection. The one I have linked is by the house Juliette has a Gun Parfums. I haven't tried any of their scents yet but I've heard great things about their fragrance Not a Perfume. Hopefully I get this for Christmas so I can smell it. 

4. Lipgloss! Photo credits: Amazon 

I must admit, I chose to use this specific set as an example for lipgloss because it's cute and Sanrio, but my favorite lipgloss got discontinued. I would've used my favorite but she's gone!!!!! Again, I have not tried these (There will be some things that I have tried I promise!!! I just procrastinate on buying things I want.) but... it's a 5 pack of Sanrio lipgloss, who wouldn't love it?! 

5. Body Sprays! Photo Credits: Amazon 

This is Brazillian Crush 62 by Sol de Janeiro, I have 62 and 71. They both smell super sweet and last pretty long. They have regular 3.4 fl oz and an 8.1 fl oz (full size perfume and B&BW body spray size) size sprays along with perfumes, body creams, doederants, hair oil, and dry shampoo. But I must warn you, everything from this brand is always sold out. I was eyeing the 2 fragrances I got for literal months until I was able to get them. If you seems in stock, get them. You likely won't find them again. 

Since I am tired of going through links and adding pictures, I'll just list the rest. 
6. Body care (lotion, soap, scrubs) 
7. Body scrubbers (not loofahs) 
8. Exfoliating gloves/washcloths
9. Stuffed animals 
10. Perfumes 

That's it for today! I hope you enjoyed this post was helpful in your gift shopping and if it was, please check back later as I will be changing my usual subscription format!

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, f...

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...
