I know I haven't posted in a while but, as always, I'm busy with schoolwork. But I have been thinking about this subject for a while and I think it would be a good idea if I share.

I think that it is no mystery that women are very self conscious about their weight. It seems like no one is ever completely satisfied with their weight. If you're really skinny, you want to gain weight. If you're in any way fat, you want to loose weight. It seems that tensions have been running even higher lately with what I'll call the "curvy movement."While I do see the reasons behind this movement, I don't see the benefits of it either. Sure, it is unhealthy to idolize an underweight body-type but a curvy body-type can be just as hard for some girls to achieve as a extremely skinny one. The point should be that as long as you have a healthy body type, you're fine and others will find you attractive depending on their personal preferences.

I have some photos from Christmas time that I would like to share before it becomes way too late and way out of place.

It gets dark so early now adays and it's so hard to take photos in low light without flash. But I always found photos taken in low light to be mysteriously beautiful. Anyways, I'm finally making another fashion post!

Apologies for the lack of posts or updates over the past month but school has been keeping me so busy. Still have finals to go through but in less than a week (gasp!) I'll be done. I can't believe it's Christmas time already. This semester has flown by so quickly. I am posting some photos I've taken over the past month with my camera. Most of them are from another visit to the river but there are also some that were taken with my prime lens. 

 If you can't tell by now I sort of have a thing for this white duck. He's so adorable!

I finally got my new camera last week when my parents came to visit me. Hopefully this means that I will post more often. The camera I bought is the Nikon D7100 and so far I think it has been a very good upgrade. You can definitely tell that D7100 is less of an "entry level" camera because it has a lot of functions and buttons that my previous D5100 lacked. I know that may not make a whole lot of sense but when I first tried out the camera I was expecting to be able to know how to use it pretty easily since I had owned a DSLR before but I was surprised to find out that I didn't know the functions of many of the buttons. I read a good chunk of the manual so I could learn the functions of all the buttons on the camera. As for the camera itself, of course it is great. The images are really sharp even though I am not using the best lens. I am actually glad that I chose to upgrade the time that I did because I found out that recently Nikon announced the release of the D5300 which I figure would decrease the price of my previous D5100 even more since it would be an even older model. Anyways, I might do an actual review of the D7100 when I get around to using it some more. But as for now, I'm gonna post a couple of pictures I took with it over the last week.
