Cucumber Water.

Hey everyone! I apologise for the lack of posts recently I've just finished my exams!

Today's blog post is all about cucumber water. I have been drinking cucumber water in school for the past month and I have had so many questions and people being like "ew it's so gross". So I decided to write about it today as it's super healthy and I love it. 

During the February half term I was revising for my exams and when your revising you need to stay hydrated and I realised that I don't drink enough water as I should. I saw on some social media sites that people where drinking cucumber in water. I have always loved cucumbers so I decided to try it and now I am obsessed with it. I drink it in school, at home, before bed, in the morning sigh breakfast.

So because everyone in school was like ew it's so disgusting I thought I should tell you how good it actually is for you.

Why is it good? 

1. It's good for your muscles: Cucumber contains silica which is a mineral. This mineral keeps the connective tissues in your body healthy. So when your working out its a good idea to drink cucumber. 

2. It's great for your skin: The silica and antioxidants help your skin to stay clear and supple. 

Secret tip for you guys: you can remove soaked cucumbers from cucumber water and use them to reduce acne redness. Or you can wash your face using cucumber water to help acne. 

3. It's low calories: A cucumber only has 45 calories. 

4. Makes you drink more water: It does this because water can taste boring sometimes and adding cucumber will flavour your water. 

5. Making it is easy, all you have to do is this...

Grab a cucumber and cut it up so its in circles and then divide it in to fours. 

Add your sliced cucumber to a cup, glass or bottle and put some cold water into your cup and the drink away. 

Obsession with sharks.

Hello my lovely viewers! Today's blog post is about my obsession with sharks.

How the obsession began.

I have had an obsession with sharks for two years now. I first got into them, the first time I watched Jaws in my English class. We were writing an essay about how Stephen Spielberg creates suspense in Jaws. After doing that essay I made my Mum buy all the Jaws films and spent the afternoon/night watching them. After that I've been obsessed with Jaws, its my favourite film now.

Why am I obsessed?
I think that sharks are beautiful creatures. They are so fascinating and amusing to watch. Yes sharks are big and scary with huge mouths full of raiser sharp teeth but they are actually amazing. People are scared of them because they aren't the cutest animals ever and because of the Jaws films. Jaws has made people scared of them and stopped them from going in the sea. But now people are so scared of them they decide to kill them, which is not fair at all! People do get killed by sharks often every year but they shouldn't be swimming in the water if they know there's going to be sharks. 

Facts about sharks.

• Humans kill 73 million sharks annually.
• Sharks do not have a single bone in their bodies. They have a skeleton that is made out of cartilage, the same stuff our ears are made of. 
• Great whites can race through the ocean at 30km per hour!
• Most fish are covered in smooth flat scales, but sharks are covered with scales that are sharp called denticles.
• Sharks are rarely dangerous to humans. But humans are dangerous to sharks. Fishermen kill about 30 million to 100 million sharks every year. About 75 shark species are becoming extinct.
  

My Interests

I am very interested with photography and film, as I want to be a film director/photographer when I finish school. I am always taking photos and filming. I'm currently making a film of my whole summer holidays which is really fun to film.

I am also interested in sharks and the ocean. I'm obsessed with sharks and have been for about a year and a half now. I love how fascinating they are and I love learning things about them. Sharks are actually amazing creatures and yes they have scary teeth and Jaws has made people frightened of them, but they are beautiful and so interesting to learn about and watch.

Another interest of mine is fashion. I like mixing up a new outfits out of the clothes that I have. I love to dress up! Its nice to feel good when you have put effort into getting dressed up nice for a meal or a party.

 

My last interest is the ocean. I think the ocean is like another world. There are some parts of the ocean that haven't been discovered yet and its so fascinating when they do discover a part of the ocean that no one has heard about or seen. The ocean is amazing! I want to go to different countries and go diving or snorkeling and be amazed by the beautiful reefs that are out there.
