Week 6: EOC - Me x 3

My car defines me because I picked it. Without my car I couldn’t go anywhere, I love my car. My dad bought it for me. Everyone loves it too, I always get compliments about it and people tell me that it’s perfect for me because it’s little just like me. I do want a bigger car eventually. This car I haven’t crashed or hit anything with it. I take care of it like it would be my baby, that’s how much I love my car and because I couldn’t afford having it break down.

My clothes define me because with my clothes I express myself, I love fashion and it is what I’m studying as well. Fashion is something so unique and different. Without fashion the world would be so boring. There’s so many different styles and colors, prints, types of apparel, shoes, accessories, bags, sunglasses, etc. I go from sexy to sporty, from trendy to boring. I’m pretty basic when it comes to outfits.  But I love my fashion.

My hair and makeup define me as well. With my hair I do different things but also, my hair says a lot about me. My natural hair color is dark brown. I have dyed my ends blonde. My whole hair caramel color and now I’m black. I have thick hair so people say, but I do think it’s thin. I’m happy how it looks. It’s naturally curly but I always straighten it. 

Week 4: EOC - My New App

My new app is all about shopping. Shopping made fun. I would just like an app that I would plug in a picture of a blouse and they give me examples of that same blouse or similar ones. That would be amazing. Sometimes when I'm looking at pictures on Pinterest or Instagram and I like the outfit of someone or even just an outfit that a random page I follow posted. I love it but they don't say from where it is or where to get it, nothing. So I take a screenshot of it and post it in this new app, and then a lot of similar items appear or even that same one I was looking for. It just makes it so much easier than going in all the websites and trying to find it. Or even sometimes I read the comments of the post in instagram to see if somehow someone posted where to get it or if they have it. This app would be Picture Fashion Fun. Because since it’s posting pictures about fashion and it makes it so much fun. I think every woman would love this. Yes, some woman like actually going to the mall and shop and try everything on. I personally did like shopping and trying almost all the store on but now I don’t even try anything on, if I like it and it seems like it will fit, then I’m buying it.  

Week 5 - EOC: This is what has my interest

I chose a tweet about Jaden Smith, talking about how he knew he would never be understood even as a baby. He thought differently about life, when he was a kid, everyone looked at him differently, he said. Therefore, he made a clothing line. I chose this tweet because we have always known he is different, he is Will Smith’s son, of course he’s different. He was raised different than everyone else. He had his dad’s role model in life, so he would’ve want to be like him or even better.

The other tweet I chose was another officer pinning an African American woman down, with her feet in the air. The news said he did without even questioning her or her doing anything whatsoever. I chose this tweet because this has been happening a lot lately. And white people don’t care obviously because they’re not the ones that would get pulled over for no reason. The only reason being that they’re Black. And I’m not an African American woman but I do have family that are and this bothers me a lot. Policemen think that they can do whatever they please to just because they are police, and it’s not right.

The third tweet I chose is about Donald Trump criticizing President Obama and Hillary Clinton for actions he previously supported. In 2011, Donald Trump expressed support for the over-throw of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak and for some intervening action in Libya, despite his current claims to the contrary. Trump on Monday criticized President Obama and Hilary Clinton for supporting Mubarak’s overthrow and for intervening in Libya, even when they uncovered two previously unreported interviews where he expressed those positions. 

Week 3 EOC - My Demographics

Millennials market makes up almost thirty percent of the adult population in the United States. This group is the most educated, diverse, and technology-proficient generation ever. Most of their media consumption is online, including reading news and watching television shows. Millennials have formidable purchasing power, but they distrust advertising and are more likely to listen to their peers regarding product decisions. This group also considers social issues such as sustainability, human rights, and fair trade before making a purchase. Brands like TOMS Shoes and Warby Parker appeal to this group because they offer social value and align their brands with a higher purpose. These brands also invite participation and co-creation, both of which appeal to Millennials. I am Millennial and it really does relate to me, all of it. I am very tech proficient. The only television that I watch is online which is Netflix. It's so much easier. I have it on my laptop and on my phone and on my Apple Tv. We millennials like things easy as it is with technology now a day. We love buying online, but we still overthink it since we don't like wasting money on stuff that is not worth it. But most of the time we waste our money in things we don’t really need. We are lazy and big procrastinators.

Week 3 EOC - Making Money for Good

Johnson & Johnson is a company that gives for profit. They help four different things. They do the "Saving and Improving the lives of Women and Children", Preventing Disease in Vulnerable Situations", "Strengthening the Health Care Workforce" and they have Community Programs in New Jersey. They take care of people worldwide like North America, Latin America, Africa, Europe & Middle East and Asia Pacific. Johnson & Johnson donates $2 for every $1 an employee donates to eligible nonprofits. In 2015 they donated $157.1 Million. They keep growing as a company since they are doing this kind of profit. It benefits them for their taxes but still they are doing something beneficial for everyone which is what every big company should do. They care about others as much as we care for our babies and that’s why we shop their products to take care of our babies because their products are all natural and not harmful for the babies. They have cared about the women since they have products for babies they thought it would be good to help moms around the world. They also help strengthening the welfare program so the mothers would find jobs faster to be able to provide their babies with everything that could possibly need. By having so many corporations worldwide it benefits them even more. 

Week 2 EOC: Boston Consulting Group - Video Games

Videogames have been going down in business because of technology nowadays. We have everything on our phones, television, we don’t really need anything else since our smartphones have the same games, maybe not in the full versions, but it’s satisfying. And it is also way better for our parents since they don’t have to spend extra money on games, or consoles. Which is a big benefit for them since xbox, playstation’s, wii, nintendo’s and specially all the games we would want are all up there. The games are $40 and higher. The consoles are $400 and up. The turnabout is rippling out to companies such as online retailer Amazon.com Inc. Last week, Amazon blamed weak quarterly results from its media business on a decline in videogame sales. Nowadays we have ipads and tablets which we can take anywhere we want, just put in a bag or purse and keep walking. The millennials are very tech-savvy and also like things to be easy. If we were to spend a night at a friends and would like to take our xbox or playstation it would be more trouble, since it’ll be disconnecting the console, bringing the remotes, the games you want to play and all the cables. While the videogame industry had hopes of posting double-digit revenue growth this year, analysts now predict flat to 5% growth from $11 billion in 2008. Then connecting them again when you get there and disconnect it again when you leave and connect it again when you get back to your house. With a tablet and/or ipad, you just need the charger and that’s it. 

Week 1 EOC - My Voice

My name is Karina Gonzalez, I am a Fashion Stylist who is inspired by bringing the sexiness out of every person, make them feel comfortable with who they are and what they have to offer. I like to style every person depending on their body type and style. Sometimes their budget is a struggle but there’s always something they can get with their budget. And that is my goal, make them happy with what they bought and not feel limited with it, own it and love it. I love when customers tell me that they haven’t worked with someone so patient and understanding and just thank me for everything. I love when customers leave with a big smile on their face because they found more than expected. I am the kind of sales associate that doesn’t look to sell the highest priced items, but what would look good in them and what I think they would totally love.
