Whitney Reacts & Reviews Things

So I went and took my TSI placement test for college today. To my knowledge I was only being tested on Reading, Writing and Math... well. After the Writing portion I was anticipating the Math section to be next. Instead I see a paragraph about how "we're taught that it's good to get along and fit in" and then it was followed by (in layman's terms): " Is it more valuable for people to fit in than to be unique and different?  Write an essay (300-600 words)" Great. Luckily I have strong opinions on this so it was easy. I just treated it like a blog post (but as if Mrs. Engler was going to be grading it) and started typing away. I might not get everything down as I wrote it exactly... but I will do my best to recreate my TSI Essay for 2018. ~*~*~*~*~* ~*~*~*~*~* ~*~*~*~*~* ~*~*~*~*~* ~*~*~* ~*~*~* It wasn't until this past year that I realized that there are going to be people that aren't going to like me. On the other hand,...

I never thought I would say this, but New York may have something that could start a trend here in the states...something that has already happened in other countries... and I'm kind of excited about it.  I'm talking about the Right to Disconnect Law proposal.  63% of Americans check their phones every hour, 9% check  every 5 minutes . Some of this could be because we are so obsessed with social media, and staying in touch with family, friends, various public figures/celebrities... but another part of it is work-a-holics not knowing how to stop their work day.  The idea behind "Right to Disconnect" is to ban employers sending emails/texts/calls to employees after hours and/or if an employer sends an email to an employee after hours , the employee will not going to be required to answer. In some corporations, employers would hold that over an employee and reprimand them if they don't respond. If an employee is constantly consumed with working, f...

I originally posted this on my personal blog, which has now been set to private, but I felt like sharing it after Stephanie McQueen's YouTube Video went up. I originally posted this shortly after Robin Williams was found dead by suicide. Being a Christian & Having Depression... (Originally Posted on August 12, 2014) Being a Christian gal who has depression in the family, and has battled it occasionally throughout life, I know that it can suck. It is one that doesn't care who it creeps in on... and it can sometimes be merciless. I can also tell you that with the right professional help (and sometimes along with medication) depression can be treated to a level that getting out of bed isn't a difficult thing, or even help get you through an entire day without breaking down into tears. The thing I don't understand about depression, other than why she is such a bitch, is the stigma that comes along with it within the Christian community. I had a few people...

Hi! My name is Whitney, incase you're new. I have recently started a new job, and unlike the hospital, I can wear make up.  It's not that the hospital pharmacy banned make up, but as an IV certified pharmacy technician you never know when you might have to go into the IV room, and since that is a sterile area, make up, nail polish, and jewelry is all a no-no. So why risk wearing make up if you might have to take it off?  So I haven't really worn make up regularly for like... 3 years (actually most of my life, but I wish I could have been wearing make up these last couple of years and I couldn't). I also, in case you haven't noticed in my Instagram photos or Y ouTube Channel  I have two different colored eyes. One brown and one green. I will get into why my eyes are like this in a future video, so be on the look out for that. Doing eye shadow has been tricky for me since certain colored eye shadows are good for certain colored eye colors. But lately, ...

So, I couldn't make it the whole two weeks to do this review. I made it a good ten days (yay me!)  I already made a video showing how I used the products, which is below. Again, this blog AND the video are not sponsored in any way. This was done on my own free will. Products In Review (Click the image for my video review): ExfoliKate Glow Moisturizer   Retail Price: $65 *ExfoliKate Intensive Exfoliating Treatment Retail Price: $75-$175 ExfoliKate Daily Cleanser Retail Price: $38-$60 This is a pinned comment on my video: I would like to add this: By the way, I'm not a doctor, I am a Pharmacy Technician though and these statements are just my opinion. I am in no way trying to throw medical advice on the internet. I watched a few reviews of this product (after I posted this) and I noticed two things: *One, some people using this use a ton of the Intense Exfoliant on their face...this (in my opinion) is not necessary... a little will go a lon...

This is going to be my first product review via all my social media; here on my Blog/Facebook/ YouTube and even a little blurb on my Instagram. For years I have bounced between ProActiv (and the recently "new and improved" ProActiv+), Neutrogena, Clean & Clear and even just plain old soap for my acne. My ance isn't as bad as some people...I will say that. But occasionally (usually when I'm PMSing... sorry boys who read this but at true!) I get these mountains on my face and it's not cute. My face is naturally really really oily. I also wear a face mask quite often when I am at work and I am making IVs. With the face mask my skin around my mouth, over my nose and surrounding areas, don't get this much room to breathe...thus clogging up my pores and making my skin look even worse and causes more breakouts.  I wanted to try this line to see if it can really help my skin. Now before I go on: this blog/any near future blogs or in the near futu...
