Hey Everybody!
How are you doing? Wonderful I hope!
I wanted to share three things that have really made my week!
Hoops & YoYo
are a funny card company that started out as part of Hallmark and eventually grew into a big time company of it's own! Not only are there paper cards but they have e-cards, talking calendars, and more! If you ever need a to laugh, check them out!
Project Beauty
(@ProjectBeauty) is an organization was started in part by one of our very own Column Bloggers Labanya! (@lalalabanya). Labanya and her friend Leah (@leahkayxo) decided to make a positive difference in their world and started Project Beauty - a place on twitter where you're encouraged to be the best that you can be and to never give up - no matter how tough life gets. If you haven't already, I would definitely recommend checking it out.
MILA
is the acronym for My Life is Average. I personally think that everyone's life is extraordinary. (Remember: we all have a great story to tell) but the sheer genius of this site is amazing. It's fun to read about the random but completely hilarious things people go through everyday. (And is much better than reading depressing stories from that other site.)
Hope you guys are doing well! Have a great week!
Ariel
P.S. Need help on something I haven't covered yet? Email me at arielsmiles(at)rocketmail(dot)com! Don't worry - all names will be kept anonymous. Can't wait to hear from you! :)

One Pimple is One Too Many - Twitter
What's the deal with Twitter?
Twitter (in its own words) answers the simple question: What are you doing?
It's a cool way for to keep in touch with friends, see what your favorite celebs are doing and let the "twitterverse" know more about you!
The letter to the editor last week posted that our entire team of column bloggers are on twitter. If you aren't following us - you totally should. (@magicalspork, @jeng2008, @stephamus, @arielsmiles @labanya_x3, @twinswholaugh, @dekoposh)
I've had a great time getting to know not only my fellow column bloggers but my other followers from all around the world. It's a super cool way to get connected!
Check with your parents on what they think about twitter and if you could get one. In fact, invite your mom/dad to join twitter! Not only will they get to see what it's all about but MAJOR trust points for being upfront with them.
(And if you have a twitter without parental permission, I would strongly recommend telling them about it. While they may be upset at first, it's really important you share this with them - not only to strengthen their trust in you but for your safety as well.)
Two Things To Keep In Mind:
If you wouldn't yell it out in a crowded mall, don't post it.
It may seem like fun to talk about what you're doing at 1234 Mulberry Lane but remember: if you're twitter is public - ANYONE can see what you're putting out there. (Even people without a twitter account.) Same goes for private accounts - while the world may not be able to see what you tweet, you should still use caution when tweeting.
& probably the most important:
You should never, I repeat NEVER give out personal information (your last name, address, phone number, email etc.) to someone on the web, especially without parental permission. Remember, not everyone is who they say they are on the internet.
Stay safe and happy tweeting!

Letter from the Editor-July 15, 2009
Hello V.I.T.s,
Is everyone enjoying their summer? We are loving it but this week has been very hot over here (over 100 degrees) yuck!
There are so many great things to tell you but we are going to keep them a secret until the new website goes up. We love to surprise you!! haha
We would like to thank all of you for reading all of our wonderful column's each week. We have an amazing group of tween/teen column writers. We are a one of a kind website for tweens/teens and we appreciate any feedback you would like to give us.
Please follow our team column bloggers on twitter because if you are not, you are missing out...

We have been reading many reports that tweens and teens are not using twitter for many reasons? What are your thoughts about twitter? We love it and we love that our column bloggers are very active on twitter. To us, it is one of the safer social networking sites available because you can make more choices. You don't have to post pictures, you don't have to enter personal things, and you are in control of what you want to put out there. It is an amazing way to get information of what you are interested in. If you think someone following you is weird, just block them. We believe all tweens and teens should be on twitter and so should their parents and teachers. We think twitter is another form of having penpals. What do yo think?
Have fun in the sun everyone!
Love Life, Dream Big, Live Well
