Image
 I don't know about you but I love sweets! I also love making them for my loved ones and myself. On a warm sunny day here in Arizona, I often like to make a delicious strawberry sago. If you have never tried strawberry sago, it's basically a sweet Southeast Asian dessert that contains sago, strawberries, coconut milk, evaporated milk, coconut jelly cubes, and condensed milk. Sago is a chewy soft tapioca pearl that adds a fun texture to your dessert. If you would like to try this delicious dessert for yourself, here is what you will need. 1: Tapioca pearls    Click to buy! 2: Fresh strawberries  3: Jubes Coconut Jelly (strawberry flavor)   Click to buy! 4: Condensed milk   5: Coconut milk 6: Evaporated milk asipoftexas In a small pan, fill with water and heat it up until at a boiling temperature.

Entry #5 Mayhem

Image
 For this Blog, I choose to analyze the Beauty Blogger Allstate Mayhem commercial.  In this ad, the author wants to create a sense of humor that will grab the audience's attention. The author does this by displaying a man pretending to be a beauty blogger. By doing so, the author is able to make the message memorable for viewers.  This commercial tries to promote the beauty blogger lifestyle, and this makes sense in our world today because it is very popular for people wanting to become beauty bloggers. Not only is his humorous, but it also may catch the attention of people interested in beauty blogs. The values shown in the commercial are that home insurance is important for accidents that could happen while trying to get a couple of likes. The target audience of this ad is all people interested in beauty. The reason why I don't think it is specifically beauty bloggers is because beauty bloggers aren't the only people who want to use a flat iron. The author of this comme...

Entry #4 Pretty Smart Spending

 Let's be honest, who doesn't love to shop? I know that I do and that it is my favorite distraction from life's circumstances. The thing is, I also love to save money! If you are like me and love to shop but also save, you know the struggle. The feeling of finding something super cute like a pretty top, or some nice shoes beats almost anything but also saving money! I know that in our economy, it's not very easy to shop and save money, but in this blog i'll share some tips that help me, and could maybe help you! https://www.istockphoto.com/photos/shopping-no-face Budget First off, it's important to know your total monthly income as well as your fixed expenses. Fixed expenses will be your expenses that stay consistent. For example, my car payment stays the same every month as well as my car insurance, so those two things will be fixed expenses. Yours may be different, like maybe you pay rent every month. I still live with my parents, so I only have two things I n...

Entry #3 Pocket Sized Deliciousness

Image
 Have you ever felt your mouth be as dry as the Sahara desert? Well that happens to me a lot. Sometimes, I just need something sweet, fruity, and delicious. That is when I go to the store and pickup my favorite, beautifully colored, delicious tablets. If you ever want to try, they look like this! Ice Breakers .  When I open the little tab and hear its little click, I see the small, round, pink, red, and purple tablets. I always have a hard time choosing which one I want. Should I choose the pink, red, and purple mix? Or should I choose the pink or red one? My favorite is the mix of the pink, red, and purple one. It's a delicious mix of three sweet fruity flavors. Every time I place the small tablet on my tongue, I can feel my tastebuds ask me for more and more! Just thinking about them makes my mouth water.  What I love most about this palm sized container of fruity and delicious tablets, is that there is enough for me to enjoy for a whole week. Now these are small, about...
