Top 3 choices

Nail Polish - One of my choices is nail polish, because I'm a little bit obsessed with it. Every week I find a day to take off my old nail polish and put a new coat on. I am also interested in how nail polish is made, how do they all the color and texture. There is probably a lot of chemical mixing that goes into making that tiny bottle of polish.

Dog Food - Every night I feed my dog. It is something that we go though fast, because my dog is a Lab and she goes though a lot of dog food. My mom is a vet and I have been in the back room before to see the Mass amount of dog food stored in there. I think it might be interesting to figure out how it is made, I know some is made out of animals themselves, but I can look into the natural kind.

Coffee - Another choice I have is coffee. My mom drinks it every morning and sometimes I join her. I prefer the bottled Starbucks kind or from Starbucks. but I love coffee, I think I take after her in that aspect. We have already learned a little but about how coffee is made, from the youtube video. but i just needed another topic on my list.

Journal Reflection

The ice cream that I had yesterday for my Australian friend's birthday, started out from milk, that came from cows. It was harvested from grain cattle raised for their milk. Then was mass produced, mixed with sugar, ice and salt. It was churned until it turned into ice cream and then refrigerated and stored in huge coolers. It was then shipped or trucked into super markets and and stores, where my mom bought some for our party.
