 Blogs have been around for years used in several ways with different target audiences and topics. Blogs are used in more than one way. Most have different purposes and are even used in other creative ways. Whether it's for expressing your interest, sharing details about your life, informing people or just blogging for fun they all serve a purpose and have a target audience. 

A blog that I've come across and enjoy is Eat Yourself Skinny. The purpose of this blog is to learn to cook healthier foods, healthier alternatives of foods we all enjoy, help those who want to lose weight or even those who just want to live a healthier lifestyle. Ultimately what the reader does with the information is up to them which is why I really like this blog, it does not limit the reader to what they can do with the information being provided. The time, effort and organization that the author puts into her blog is very evident and shows that she cares and is passionate about what she does. Everything is organized and formatted accordingly into different sections for different wants or needs making it easier for the reader to access.

Just by looking at the image that was uploaded by the author shows that she takes pride into her blog as well as through her recipes and the type of high quality pictures she uses reflect her hard efforts. eat yourself skinny skillet

From a quick skim of the blog goop it majorly resembles a retail store and not a blog. Although the format of the blog is very organized it looks more advertised as an alternative way to do online shopping. The author's purpose for this blog may be more directed into selling the items and making an income rather than a website to read for enjoyment.

In the image above is one of the many items that are for sale on the website, browsing through the website it is clearly also targeted to an audience with a much higher income than most. 

Blogs are for everyone to enjoy. With so many options available there is surely one blog that is perfectly suited for your interests, needs, and even wants. Explore all the different blogs available and have fun with them.

Entry #1 Impacts and Benefits of Reading

-

   As a child, I always enjoyed reading, sitting down for hours, and immersing myself in whatever book I could get my hands on. As I've gotten older, my love for reading has not diminished, but rather the amount of spare time I have. As the years have passed, my time for it has decreased, causing me to not be able to fully enjoy doing it in my spare time. Although that is the case for now, I still really enjoy reading. It was a way for me to help pass time and reduce any stress I had, and I enjoyed expanding my vocabulary. Reading helped shape and impact my likes and dislikes, my concentration levels, and broaden my imagination. There was no limit to my imagination when I was reading. The way you perceive reading could impact you similarly to me or in a completely different way. There isn't a limit to how reading can be impactful or beneficial.  Reading isn't just words on paper with no meaning; you have to use your imagination and expand your mind. Be open to the thought o

Did you know that when people think of America a lot of people's minds drifts towards our mass food consumption? Or the obesity epidemic that has spiked throughout the years? Below is a political comic that visually represents the consumption and advertisements of the food that is so frequently eaten.    Jdhcdc.org Advertisements are constantly being thrown in people's faces wherever they go, to the point it has become a normal thing. I think this is something important to be aware about because it has a huge impact on the eating culture in America to the point it becomes a second thought. In the comic it shows a handful of people who seem to be unhealthily overweight but still continue to eat the foods that led them to that state. Being surrounded by unhealthy choices makes it that much more tempting to indulge into those unhealthy foods.  NPR.org The surroundings someone is in has a large influence on their food choices. The Obesity Prevention Source  claims, " In the U.
