My name is Jennifer Rodriguez. I was born in East Los Angeles, California, on October 10, 1992. My passion has always fondled alongside the path of art and literature. If anything and above all I believe that this passion has completely over-taken me and driven me into a new outlook of what the world’s beauty can truly be. I have yet to begin my journey out in the world. Like many young minds, we perceive life as a cluster of steps. Each step is marked down with new opportuni-ties, goals, and outcomes. We continuously ponder over the thought of love and romance, struggle over the expectations of others, and recollect momentous oc-casions that make up a great deal of the kind of person we are to become.

Palm springs is a city of cultural retrospect and great majesty. Along with its diverse landscapes, vibrant long summers, and various celebrity land-marks it can be described as the perfect getaway from the everyday. Most famously known for its palm trees and windmills, Palm springs also grants livelihood accommodations and a delightful pal-ate of fine dinning. Most of the best and deliciously brilliant quisines are located in downtown Palm springs; home of the desert stars.

piero Fornascetti was an was an Italian painter, sculptor, interior decorator and engraver. Com-bining whimsy and elegance, Piero fornasetti (1913–1988) transformed everyday objects like cups, scarves, and screens into works of art featuring his idiosyncratic leitmotifs, such as the hand, the female face, and luminescent fish. Additionally, he created a wide range of works, in-cluding idealized architectural fantasy drawings, book designs, and provocative nudes, as well as the decor for the luxury liner Andrea doria. Perhaps most famous for dazzling pieces of trompe l’oeil furniture, fornas-etti was rediscovered in the 1980s and has remained much sought-after by collectors worldwide. featuring 2,800 illustrations, many never before published, the monograph is designed to be an “artist’s book” that reflects as faithfully as possible Fornasetti’s own ap-proach to design.

The desert flower, among its many distin-guished characteristics is its ability to heal. This has given scientists the motive to formulate a new prod-uct using Alhoe based minerals to prevent facial sun damage. with its leaves incrusted with delicant essential vitamins it’s no wonder why its considered to be the jewel of the desert and an abosulte trea-sure to the Palm springs region.

8. it makes you richer.
It doesn’t mean that you should marry donald Trump or some other billionaire. Even if you fall in love with an average guy, you have more chances of getting rich. This is because you are more inspired to work and you have another reason to work hard. Intentionally or unintentionally, you will find yourself doing your job a little less exhaust-ing because the feeling of going home to someone you love keeps you through the day in a way that you don’t realize how much work you have done. This is true. stud-ies have shown that individuals in long-term committed relationships earn more than those who stay single. so if you want to get rich, Fall in love.

10. it makes you better-looking.
This is not a joke. Believe it or not, falling in love can really make you look a lot better. If you’re the type of person who doesn’t care about your physical appearance, fall in love and see how you would change. when you’re in love, you will always try to look your very best not just to impress the one you love but also to feel good about yourself. You feel conscious about your outfit, your hair and your move-ments. Even when you don’t exert any effort on improving your appearance, love really brings something magical to its victims. when people are in love, they smile a lot. There is a certain glowing aura that people in love emit that radiates happiness.
9. it makes you nicer.
how can you be mean to people around you when there is someone who makes every minute of your life wonderful? when people are in love, we tend to focus on our feelings for that lucky per-son and pay not much attention to other things, much less to the things that make our blood reach the boiling point. And because there is someone who makes us smile every time, it is hard to frown and make other people’s lives miserable. we tend to forget our bitter past and our plans of revenge in the future because what matters is the present.
7. it makes you healthier.
when you’re in love, you care about yourself. It’s not just physical appearance, it is your overall well-being including your health. If you used to ignore that migraine you’ve been enduring for years, when you’re in love, there is a high chance that you would call your doctor for an appointment and schedule a check-up. You might even undergo tests that you have been putting off for the lon-gest time like mammogram and PsA. when you’re in love, there is an intense urge to care for your health because you want to live long, because you have a good reason to. You want to live long not just for yourself but also for that special someone.
If suicidal thoughts enter your mind all the time, you will forget about them altogether when you fall in love. You have a reason to live now and you know how your self-destruction makes him or her feel. And you don’t want him/her to be hurt, especially not by you.
6. it makes you mushier.
There’s nothing wrong with being mushy. It only means that you are sentimental and emotional. It only means that you care about how other people feel, especially the per-son you are in love with. If you have always thought that the lines uttered in those romantic movies are stupid, you will be surprised to find yourself in one, saying those mushy lines. It is al-right. There is nothing unmanly about expressing how you feel and letting your significant other know how im-portant he or she is to you. It is not a crime. Being mushy is not a crime.
Although it can also make you weaker in certain ways, falling in love makes you stronger. how? first of all, sex is a good workout. haha. seri-ously, people in love want and try to be strong for themselves and those we care for. we will do and endure anything to protect the person we love and give them what he or she wants. when we are sick, we want to get better fast so we can enjoy more time with him or her. we become stronger so we can catch them when they fall and lift them when their down. Being strong can also be interpreted in another way. some people can take all the pain that love brings just so they don’t lose them. Even when they are hurt by factors ranging from differ-ences to third party to family, they choose to stay in the relationship because they are strong enough and they know that it will pass. love is not easy to let go. If we can keep it, we will. love is like that. It’s pleasure and pain rolled into one and it takes a lot of strength. love is not for the weak-hearted.
5. it makes you stronger. 4. it makes you wiser.Being in a relationship is not all about sunshines and rainbows. There are bad, depressing moments, too. Although it is not a good reason to fall in love, it is not a reason not to, either. In fact, mistakes are essential in love. Each mistake teaches you something impor-tant. Every time you make a mistake, you learn. And every time you learn, you become wiser. This enables you not to do the same mistakes again. Being wise means growing up. And it takes grownups to run a relationship.

3. it makes you more responsible.
If your life is in disarray, you will set everything straight when you’re in love. you will find a good job because you think of your future together. You will take good care of your finances. you will fix your relationship with your family. You will forget about your unfinished business with your exes. You will even clean your room, which you haven’t done since you hit pu-berty. when you’re in love, your life develops a sense of direction.
2. it makes you more creative.when you’re in love, you think of new ways to take your loved one’s breath away. You cannot do things over and over again or you will beth get tired. You will be forced to come up with new, refreshing ways of saying “I love you,” of celebrating anniver-saries, of letting him or her know how you feel. In some cases, people find themselves learning or trying to do things new to them like writing songs or doing something embarrassing. The funny part is, you don’t complain because you enjoy doing it. weird, but you really do.
Another way of being creative is when he or she asks you where you have been last night. Yeah, that will really squeeze out all the creative juices in you.
1. it makes you happier.When you’re in love, you will never find yourself alone. You already have a partner to do things with and it’s not just sex. Yes, sex makes people happy but it’s more than that. simple activities can become fantastic when you do it with someone, especially with the one you truly treasure. These things will make you happy and it will show big time. You’ll be surprised that you will see yourself smiling and laughing all the freaking damn time. You think about him or her, you smile. You see him/her walking, you smile. You see him/her trip on her toe, you smile. when you’re in love, you always think positive.

disneyhall
By Jennifer RodriguezPhotography by Jennifer Rodriguez
The Disney Hall situated in the heart of Downtown Los
Angeles, California is one of the most distinct and marvelous
landmarks bestowed onto the city. Frank O. Gehry, the ingenious
architect behind the sculptural splendor, envisioned a building
that would reflect both the majesty of the Disney Orchestra and
harmoniously intertwine with the buildings surrounding it. In 1987,

Frank Owen Gehry, world famous architect, was born Ephraim Owen Goldberg on the 28th of February, 1929. He was born in Toronto, Canada, but relocated to California as a teenager. uncertain of his career direction, the teenage Gehry drove a delivery truck to support himself while taking a variety of courses at Los Angeles City College. He took his first architecture courses on a hunch, and became enthralled with the possibilities of the art, although at first he found himself hampered by his relative lack of skill as a draftsman. Sympathetic teachers and an early encounter with modern-ist architect Raphael Soriano confirmed his career choice. He won scholarships to the university of Southern California and graduated in 1954 with a degree in architecture. After serving for a year in the united States Army, Gehry entered the Harvard Graduate School of Design, where he studied city planning, but he returned to Los Angeles without completing a graduate degree. Gehry found a creative outlet in rebuild-ing his own home, converting what he called “a dumb little house with charm” into a showplace for a radically new style of domestic building. He took common, unlovely elements of American homebuilding, such as chain link fencing, corru-gated aluminum and unfinished plywood, and used them as flamboyant expressive elements, while stripping the interior walls of the house to reveal the structural elements. His Santa Monica neighbors were scandalized, but Gehry’s house attracted serious critical attention and he began to employ more imaginative elements in his commercial work. The year 2004 saw the long-awaited completion of the Walt Disney Concert Hall in downtown Los Angeles. The building opened to great public celebration and immediately became the sprawling city’s landmark building. The splayed pipes of the hall’s massive pipe organ were likened by more than one writer to a packet of French fries, but the public response was ecstatic. Gehry’s earlier experience building and renovating concert halls and amphitheaters had paid off in a facility that not only attracted international attention with its striking ap-pearance, but thrilled musicians and listeners with its acousti-cally brilliant interior.

Lillian Disney made an initial gift of $50
million to build a world-class performance
venue as a gift to the people of Los Ange-
les and a tribute to Walt Disney’s devotion
to the arts. Frank began production on
the building’s designs into the 1990’s. It
wasn’t until 1991 when the project first be-
gan and the Disney Hall slowly arose from
the ground. Completion of the project was
later stalled due to the lack of fundrais-
ing it received. It then became dormant
between 1994 through 1996, drawing in
more conspicuous interest on its comple-
tion.
Such beauty radiated from every corner-
stone of the building’s presence. At last
in 2004, final construction of the Hall was
completed and greatly appraised by the
public everywhere. Gehry described the
Disney Hall as a free flowing set of sails.
As one enters the Disney Hall you are
greeted by a set of sails on each end as

though the building is waiting to be vividly
caressed by the human eye. Its metallic
exterior reflects off the sunlight’s efferves-
cent rays and quietly illuminates the city’s
streets with its vivacious glows. Each peak
and curve accentuates its geometrically
intriguing interior and flower like unrav-
eling. The Disney Hall presents a great
creative inspiration for many young artists
both architects and sculptors alike. It can
be perceived that Gehry’s passion for
architecture is one that will never seize to
amaze the public’s eye. The LA Philhar-
monic were the first orchestra to release
their melodious tune upon the great monu-
ment. It was thanks to the great vision of
Frank Gehry that the graceful rhythms of
the Concert Hall have gently pierced the
hearts of both musicians and spectators
alike.
The beautiful gardens are decorated with a

vast array of vegetation and color.
Along with its sculptural makeup
the Disney Hall also is engraved
with members of the Disney
Family and other great names
of importance. The blue marble
flower placed in the center of the
Blue Ribbon Garden is a symbol
of great love and respect created
for Walt Disney’s daughter, Lillian
Disney. The auditorium is an
extremely rare beauty to witness.
According to officials it is only
open 7 times a year to the public.
It is an enjoyable experience to
visit the Concert Hall, along with
its beautiful features and colors it
has been framed with an emo-
tional standpoint of goodwill and
love. It’s a remembrance of the
great creativity and passion each
person has within them.
The Disney Concert Hall forever more will be engraved into the
city’s veins as one of the greatest architectural
happenings in existence.

you’ve been dying to try that new shampoo that’s sup-posed to make your hair
thick, lush and shiny. you can’t wait to use that new exfoliating scrub because the label tells you that it’s going to make your skin soft and glowing. you love that new cologne; every time you wear it you get so many compliments on how great you smell!
you love these products and how they make you look and feel, but did it ever occur to you that what you put on your hair or your skin could make you sick? Did you know these prod-ucts contain chemicals, toxins and hormones that can cause anything from an unsightly rash to learning difficulties to birth defects and even cancer? Even though each product may contain a limited amount of these toxins, please keep in mind, most people use several products each day, from the moment they wake up (soap, shampoo, conditioner, shave cream, deodorant, toothpaste, hand soap, make up) until they go to bed. After

many years of daily use, these toxins accumulate in your body to cause the ailments I’ve listed above, among many others. If they cause these concerns for adults, just imagine the damage they can do to children who are smaller and weigh less. Although each product you may use may con-tain a restricted amount of chemicals, hormones and toxins, they can, and many times they do cause a myriad of damage to us all.
Not only are these beauty products toxic for humans, they are toxic to the environment, as well. Many of these products are made with petroleum-based ingredients, which contributes to global warming. Did you know that
if you switch just one bottle of a petro-leum based product for a vegetable based product we could save 81,000 barrels of oil in one year. How’s that for incentive to switch?
So now you decide it’s time to go “green”, you go to the health food store and purchase “Organic” or “Natural” products and you no longer have to worry about these concerns...or do you?
