Week 9

What we have accomplished this week: This week Saylor and I got together to contact our mentor.  We successfully accomplished contacting our mentor and finding a good time to Skype this week. 

What we are working on now: We are planning on Skyping our mentor tomorrow in the afternoon to talk about certain etiquette manors we need to use during our event. We are also going to talk about whether or not she already has an event coming up soon we could join her on.

What we will be working on next week: Next, we will be working on setting up an event to lead where we will be doing makeovers on women and hearing their stories. If our mentor has an event coming up soon that she will allow us to join, then we will be preparing for what she has set up. We are excited to see where this project takes us! -Saylor and Naomi

Week 8

     What we accomplished this week: 
Unfortunately, this week we had a minor set back. Saylor and I were not able to find a good time to meet and get in contact with our mentor. We were very busy and were not able to get very far with our plan this week.
      What we are working on right now: 
Due to our set back, we are working on finding a time to get together and get in contact with our mentor. It is very important that we talk with her so we can ask her a few important questions. We are very lucky to have Char Braden as our mentor to help us with this project.
       What we are planning to work on: 
Next, we are planning to either meet with our mentor or have another Skype call with her to consult with her. We also want to find a place to bring our project to and help women in a program of some sort. In addition, we need to begin planning our TED talk to display our progress for anyone who comes to listen.

Week 7

        What we accomplished this week: 
This week we finished testing and putting together our homemade lip balm. Saylor and I met with each other multiple times to discuss what we are doing next. 
        What we are doing this week: 
We are going to get in contact with our mentor this week to keep in touch with her. We have a few questions for her about proper etiquette with the women who we will be giving the makeovers to. We will also get input on the exact makeup we should use and how we should apply it. We will be calling our mentor hopefully on Wednesday of this week.
        What we are planning next week:  
Next week, we will be seeing where we are going to bless these women. We will be getting in touch with our mentor this week, but next week we will start discussing places, dates and times for our project.

      What we accomplished this week: 
                   This week we successfully accomplished doing more research on our lip balm! We are taking our time with this part of the project because we want our lip balm to be something that almost everyone can use. We understand that some people have certain allergies or issues with using any type of makeup, so we want to be thorough and careful with our ingredients.
      What we are planning to do:
                  The things are planning to gather for the lip balm as mentioned in last week's blog, 1/4 cup oil, 1/4 cup of shea or cocoa butter, a type of wax like soy wax, essential oils, and powdered herbs for color, we are getting from our local grocery store or Amazon.
      What we are working on right now: 
                 Right now, we are working on gathering all our ingredients and planning  exactly where to find each ingredient. After we go to the store and get all of our ingredients we will begin experimenting and making our lip balm.
