Why I'm inspired to be a #GirlDay #RoleModel : Introduce a Girl to Engineering
What inspired you to become a Girl Day Role Model?
I was inspired to become a Girl Day Role
Model after being introduced to Discover E’s Engineers Week a few years ago on
social media.
I
was thrilled to learn that there was even such a thing as Engineer’s Week
because I love Engineering. And I
almost missed out on the chance to study Engineering Technology because I just
didn’t know about it.
And
I should have because my father is an Engineer.
I knew that growing up but I didn’t think much about it.
During
middle school and especially High School, I thought I wanted to be a Fashion
Designer because I learned to sew & I love Vogue and clothes and makeup.
I
thought it was sewing that I liked, but I later found out it was the process of
knowing how an article of clothing comes to existence.
So
the decision to study Engineering Technology came during college registration when I was signing up for
college classes and my parents were with me in the Gym, and the Registrar asked
me what classes I wanted to take, what did I want to major in? And I really didn’t know so my dad said,
Samantha, you can try Engineering, they always need female Engineers.
So I gave it a go, I signed up to major in
Electrical Engineering Technology at South Carolina State University and I
never looked back.
I gave Engineering a Go (because someone I
know and trust made a suggestion)
And I’m inspired to be a Girl Day Role Model
so I can make a suggestion. A suggestion
to all young people and especially girls so we can have more of a mix of
diversity in Engineering. A suggestion
to a young person that has no idea what that nagging in their head is. To suggest their Gift and Purpose and Skill
may be invisible. To suggest their path,
their Career -- is the Process of
Thought. To suggest Engineering, and to
bring forth the potential for more solutions, more cures, more products,
services, technology, space travel, agriculture, manufacturing, everything
resource driven that improves quality of life.
It is now my
turn to make a SUGGESTION.
How does your own story impact your outreach?
My own story
impacts my outreach that’s for sure. My
own story says that an Engineering candidate may not know Engineering is their
gift. And this is true for girls too.
I know they may
be expressing themselves in ways that materialize as cooking, sewing,
athletics, anything really. Some of
these ways are UNCONVENTIONAL.
My outreach
efforts show Engineering in ways that are in fact ‘unconventional’. When I was a middle school student, it would
have benefitted me to know that my interests in sewing, cooking, shop,
and athletics are tied to my Engineering abilities. Maybe by pointing out there was a reason why
my success in Gymnastics increased when my understanding of the mechanics of
gymnastics increased.
I can say with
confidence that when someone says Cosmetics or Soda the first thing they do not
think of is ENGINEERING. But Cosmetic
Chemistry, Manufacturing Engineering, and Industrial Engineering are all tied
to Makeup and Beverages.
I use these
unconventional expressions of Engineering to reach what young people like and
find interesting. And I also like them
and find them interesting. It’s no secret that beauty and fashion and makeup
and selfies and snapchat are even more popular these days as social media
abounds.
So working in
the Cosmetics Manufacturing field gives me the perfect opportunity to be
relevant to what young people and main stream society are drawn to.
We do things in
our Beauty Lab like label all our materials with formal scientific names and
chemical formulas. We also have process
posters that list scientific vocabulary and facts about color theory and --
nutrition data about plant material. We
do this so that when guests come to our Lab, they see makeup that is popular
and information that is familiar, most of the time, people say “I just studied
about antioxidants or minerals in one of my STEM classes.’ This allows them to see the technical math
& science world as a part of popular culture. This makes my ‘choose Engineering’
suggestion easier and more exciting.
I also go to our
local school and volunteer in their STEM initiatives. Because I used to work for Pepsi Cola in
Manufacturing Operations, I used to go to classrooms and I called myself Mrs.
Sodamaker. We would make a mock soda and
talk about Carbon Dioxide, Water and the Water Cycle, Fructose &
Agriculture and more. Students loved
seeing how soda was made. It’s an
unconventional approach to introducing Engineering.
My own story
impacts my outreach in ways that are unconventional. We have a LIP GLOSS LAB to introduce Girls to
Engineering. I think that is
unconventional. And that would have
peaked my interest as a Middle and High School student.
I hope to do the
same for others.

Moisturizing your skin in cooler weather
About MOISTURIZERS : this cooler weather has me thinking about moisturizers. Love them!
Heavier coats + boots + thick creamy face and body butters!Moisture comes from water and/or another true hydrator like aloe and glycerin.
So when we use Face Oils on our skin after washing, the structure of the oil is helping to prevent evaporation from the skin surface.
That is how an oil 'moisturizes' -- by keeping the water droplets from escaping.
It's a good practice to apply face oils to wet skin for that reason, right after washing and rinsing thoroughly.
Sometimes I add a few drops of face oil to a little water that I put in my hands, then I rub them together vigorously for a type of pseudo lotion mixture.
During drier months, I like mixing a creamy moisturizing lotion serum or balm with a drop of oil.
A 'face lotion' is a mixture of water or plant liquid (like aloe, a hydrosol, or herbal infusion or 'tea') with oils & vegetable butters or solids. This mixture is brought together by an emulsifier that binds them together.
'Lotions' add both moisture and have the capacity to trap that moisture in.
For really cold weather, face balms trap in moisture and add a layer of protection, like a shield almost. We make butters with honeycomb (beeswax) so that wax really helps protect against harsh conditions.
Some people with small pours avoid face balms because they can really clog pores depending on your skin type.
The best way to determine what kind of moisturizing ritual you currently need is to make regular appointments with your licensed Esthetician (we love Lavandula Skin Spa in Woodstock, GA).
According to the many skincare experts I interact with, they say the most important role of skincare is to maintain the 'barrier function', that is to do what is necessary to allow skin to perform its intended purpose -- which is to shield our internal cells and allow fluids to flow in a closed system.
By using the right moisturizer, we protect our skin from cracking and breaking -- which compromises the barrier.
AND hydrated moisturized skin comes from drinking fresh pure water, teas, and fresh pressed fruit and vegetable juices on a daily basis.
