Dear Cat,
         Hey Cat! So I came across your blog one day and I think you're doing a great job on it! I also have a question. Recently, I have decided that I wanted to become an Optometrist (eye doctor) when I got older. Ever since I've gotten contacts, I was fascinated by the human eye! I had the confidence to tell my parents and they are backing me up100%. Now, I know you're probably not an expert in eyes but I just wanna know where I could start off. I'm in 8th grade and have tons of homework every night. I just want to ask you where I can start off in studying for that field. Or some study habits that I can use in studying for when I have a lot of homework because I want to be 100% prepared for all the challenging courses I have to take in high school and college.
Thanks :), Emily xx

Leading a Healthy Lifestyle is essential for a healthy, happy life. Nowadays, Americans are eating way too much than what an actual portion should be. Did you know that our American portions of food are 2x as much as any other foreign country? It's not wrong to eat too much... maybe you're just hungry. But the important factor is whether your food has the right vitamins and minerals your body needs. You can consume the most food in the world, but it has to have the necessary amount of vitamins. Or else, it's just a waste of food. Our modern foods are mostly contained of calories and sugars more than vitamins and minerals. This means that we are consuming more junk food than vitamins and minerals. Eating all that junk food and consuming all those calories would only build up our excessive body fats. Sadly, our body is attracted to junk food more. These junk foods barely have any minerals. Not enough minerals makes our body function not properly.

There's dozens of purses out there in different varieties of styles. One of the most used ones suitable for all occasions is a clutch. Clutches are small enough to fit your needs but not as big as a purse. They're great for shopping, parties, and just to run your daily errands. As I said, they're great for everywhere! Here are some stuff I keep in my clutch!

      So, for the month of November, I have been craving so much for Candy. I know it's not healthy for me but I love eating candy this month. I don't know why. Maybe it's because I missed Halloween and didn't get candy for Halloween? Either way, I love eating candy this month. I always have a piece of dark chocolate with me in my purse. But, since I'm also on my Thanksgiving vacation, I bought tons of snacks for me to eat on my road trip. Part of it is candy.

Look what time of year it is? The winter is here!!! And... HOLIDAY CHEER!!! What better way to celebrate the upcoming holidays, than a cup of warm White Chocolate Peppermint Mocha?! Here's the recipe and your road to a tasty, hot drink!

"Hey Cat. I'm getting some bad grades and I'm afraid that if I keep this up, I'm going to be pulled out of clubs, sports, etc. But I tried and nothing works! My whole class gets what we're talking about. I'm afraid that if I raise my hand in class, they'll be like, "How could she not understand such an easy thing?" Maybe they'll laugh at me? I don't know. Plus, my teacher is kind of strict and I'm scared of her. I know it sounds ridiculous, but it's true. Please help me!"

Ask your teacher for help. Maybe they can assist you after school. Maybe if you scored low on a project grade, you can ask her to redo it, give you another chance or help with extra credit. Is it a subject? Ask a teacher for help after class and tell her you don't understand it. Don't be afraid of the teachers! They're more than happy to assist you!! 
    Next, if your teachers aren't enough, ask your friends for help! They're always there and they explain it easiest, since you know them. You won't be uncomfortable. Lastly, set a schedule. Everyday, write down what your schedule is and follow it. Be sure to check anything off that you finished. It'll make you feel accomplished, you worked hard, and the day didn't just go to waste. Your schedule can be general. Just be organized! Make sure you have enough time for studying. Then, write in your sports. Remember, studies are your first priority! Also, studying isn't an overnight thing. It takes time. You'll get it faster when you put more effort in it. I hope this helped! Xo, C
