Isabella Barrett

Isabella Barrett is only 8 years old, but yet a millioaire.
As a little girl she started participating in beautypeagents and nearly won them all. Then she started singing in her own music band, modeling and now even creating and designing her own accesorrories and clothes collection.
These collections had so much success that she is the youngest self-made millionaire in the world.

With her 8 years she owns her own money and can spend it like she wants to. So it's obvioulsy that her wishes aren't about having a new barbie or a little dog. Her christmas wishing list was about going on holidays to Hawaii, a new summer house and a recording studio for her band, and the most amazing is that she could buy it all by herself.
According to her mom, despite of her success, she lives a normal life. She goes everyday to school, plays with her friends and after finishing her homework, she's allowed to work on her collections.

To sum up, Isabella has achieved with only 8 years what others work and wish all their life for. It is also clear that this can not be only her dream, her mother surely also plays a big role in it.



Little William




It is clearly known that these photos are edited by photoshop, but the story behind them is quite surprising.
These pictures are taken by Alan Lawrence for his son William, who has Down syndrome. According to Lawrence, he didn't take the news about his son as well as his wife and he even thought that his son would be a burden because of his disability, however he's ashamed now for saying that because he hat it all wrong.
It all started at his birth in 2013, as a baby he soon started doing weird positions, as he wanted to fly. Therefore came the idea to make a little project, which has now conquered the social media. His dad, an art director who does photography on the side, started taking pictures of his son assuming the "flying" pose and then edited him into gorgeous backdrops or funny situations, like one in which he looks like he's soaring above a field of cows.
Family and friends loved the photos so much that Lawrence is now trying to produce a series of calendars. The family also launched a Kickstarter campaign called "Bringing Light" to raise money for a road trip so they can take more photos at scenic spots, and meet other families with children who have Down syndrome along the way. So far, they have raised more than 2.000 dollars.
Alan Lawrence said that the project is a way for him to prove to the world that even kids with Down syndrome, like his son, can live magical lives. This project is also a way for them to show how much their son blessed the family, he's not a burden and he has opened the door to so many things and to new experiences.
They hope his son's story helps encourage parents who are worried about raising a baby with Down syndrome and it actually has.

Dear Barack Obama,
As the President of the United States of America you are doing a really good job,
I highly respect your work trying to improve the education of each State and culture, to avoid any sort of discrimination and unrespectful behavior and of course, the improvement of the image for the United States, since you are the President, a lot changed for better.
Even if you are doing a great job, there are a few things, which with a little bit of motivation and with the help of all the inhabitants of the States you could change; some examples are the legal death penalty in some states, the current driscrimination, the inexistent medical healthcare and totally different education levels.
In conclusion, I really consider that you are one of the best presidents the United States of America ever had however, you could do more for your country and not only try to do it.

Yours sincerely,
Angelina Würth.

The heart wants what it wants

We know it from every single movie we have seen or book we have readed, there is always the handsome and athletic boy who always dates the prettiest girls, and then they are the others, the sensitive and caring boys, who are always wondering what they are doing wrong with the girls.

Due to this, recently  some students of Hurtpury College in England did a research in regards to marriage, relationships and narcissistic men. They asked 146 women between 18 and 28 years old, and the study found out that even those who already have dated self-absorbed men, they never learned their lessons and continued to pursue these types of men.
Moreover, the more relationship experience each women had, the more she found narcissistic men attraktive.
In conclusion, it has all to do with the self-confidence and power narcissistic men exude.

Personally, I know plenty of these narcisstic boys, and the truth is that they always get the girl that they want, without doing anything. However, they are also always the boys who are more likely to cheat and think about themselves.

Karl Lagerfeld's cat earned 2 million last year

Karl Lagerfeld's cat, Choupette, earned over 2 million dollars last year, from two jobs. Meanwhile, top model and actress Cara Delevigne earned 2,4 million in a year after travelling around the world and attending to fashion weeks during a whole year.

These two jobs, a collaboration with cosmetics brand Shu Uemura and the photo shoot for the Vauxhall Corsa car calender, brought her all this money, but the cat has really an expensive lifestyle, so she sure will need her 2 million dollars. She's always flying First Class with, of course, her two maids in tow, has an own ¡Pad, she's always attending photo shoots for covers and has already over 54K followers on Instagram.

In my opinion, her owner is really going to far with his obsession for Choupette. According to him, he is very picky when it comes to the jobs that the cat takes on and he is even ready to marry his cat if it was legal. In addition, she hates other animals and children, she always stays with Lagerfeld and her two maids, who play with her and take care after her beautiful white hair and beauty treatments for her eyes.

To sum up. she really seems to be the centre of the world, and I'm sure that if we could see her we would understand how beautiful she is, just like the fashion designer said.

Man survives after storm leaves him lost at sea for 66 days

As I first read this story I thought that it was like a movie plot or somethings like this, but it's really an incredibly real story.

The 36-year-old american inexperienced sailor Louis Jordan set out for a fishing trip the 23th of January in South Carolina with his sailboat. He was on his way to the Gulf Stream in search of a big fish when a storm hit. According to him, he was sleeping when the boat capsized and turned around.

Unfortunetly, the storm's massive waves threw him into a wall, so he broke his collarbone. He wanted to call to get help but the communication equipment had also broken, so he prayed for help and read his bible all the way through and his own survival tactics kept him alive. He carefully rationed his food supply, drank rain water and ate raw fish for 66 days at sea.

Besides, his father reported him missing after a week, so the Coast Guard began searching but quit after 10 days because they cound't find his boat. For his luck, 200 miles off the coast of North Carolina, a German cargo ship saw him standing on his boat waving his arms and brought him to the hospital. 
Surprisingly, he was released just one day later because he was in a remarkable condition considering what he had been through.
