Why Your Next Purchase Should Be A Polaroid Camera

This cute little camera can capture thousands of memorable moments!

In the past couple years, styles and items that were once popular in previous decades have made a comeback. This generation has a knack for looking back on things from our childhood with a strong sense of nostalgia and happiness, and that I think has led to certain items coming back "into style". The item that I'm the most excited about is the Polaroid camera.

One of my favorites hobbies is photography. I've always loved capturing fun memories on camera and looking back on them in the future. When I received a Polaroid camera for Christmas this year, I couldn't contain my excitement. If you're at all into photography like I am, then I suggest you go out and get one of these cameras as soon as you can!

Why a Polaroid camera? Good question. It's not that I don't enjoy using other kinds of cameras. I often even use just my smartphone to take great pictures. What's cool about this camera is the shear fun of it. It's perfect for days when you hang out with friends, explore a new city or place, or have a party to go to. They are super lightweight (at least mine is) and they are easy to carry with you wherever you go. The pictures you take become instant keepsakes of fun times and memorable moments with people you love.

However, the main reason I love my Polaroid is the candidness behind them. Unlike smartphones and digital cameras, there's no redo option. If the picture turns out "bad" you won't be able to retake that picture again. But that's the fun of it. Every photo is unique, and none are completely perfect. It gives each picture its own little flare and style, and it makes certain moments that much more memorable. Sure, the film can be a little expensive and you only get a certain amount of photos in a pack of film. I think it is completely worth it, and I'm sure many of you would feel that way too!

While there are many more fads and styles that have come back from previous decades that are probably much less expensive and easy to buy, I really think that a Polaroid camera is something that anyone could buy and enjoy. It also why I am using this item as my Weekly Favorite! It's a great gift or a good item to splurge a little money on. You won't be disappointed!

Michigan Rain Vs. California Rain

SO, I've just recently had the fortunate experience to be reminded just how Michigan rains. Now, before you roll your eyes at me, I HAVE EXPERIENCED RAIN (in regards of the the popular joke that Californians haven't). However, I have to agree; after experiencing one of Michigan's thunderstorms (with my college's sirens blaring in the background), it comes to mind just how different "rain" is between the two states:

6 Things Owning A Cat Has Taught Me
Liz Abere

Owning a pet can get difficult and expensive. Sometimes, their vet bills cost hundreds of dollars just for one visit. On top of that, pets also need food, a wee wee pad for a dog, a litter box with litter for a cat, toys, and treats. Besides having to spend hundreds of dollars on them, they provide a great companion and are almost always there when you need to talk to someone. For the past six years, I have been the proud owner of my purebred Bengal cat named Spock. Although he's only seven years and four months old, he's taught me so much. Here's a few of the things that he has taught me.

It's fun to see all of the selfies on social media, they are everywhere. I see pictures with pouty lips, duck lips and pucker lips. I see smokey eyes, huge fake lashes and nicely done nose jobs, boob jobs and butt lifts. Women working out in spandex, tiny tops and flip flops. I see tight abs and firm butts, manicured nails and toes, up dos and flowing hair. "Wow", I think to myself," I could apply tons of make-up, spend an hour on my hair, pose all day and not look like that. Maybe I need a longer stick!"
