I bought lots of make up today. It’s mineral make up, so I feel justified. Mineral make up is supposed to be very good for your skin, and has good coverage etc. My skin gets very shiny, without makeup, as if it’s excited to be out and about. So the make up is necessary, to make my eyes bigger, and to restrain the eagerness of my skin.

My sister asked me to write down some Facts About France.
She is studying French at school, and lately I have been doing a lot of her homework. The other day, I wrote down some facts for her about Time Travel. I also copied down the Facts About France and sent them to Eden, in England. I don’t know what she thinks about them, as she hasn’t sent a letter back yet.
My sister liked the facts, however.
Here are some Facts About France:
