Visa Credit card. Visa means international. The company is not based entirely in the United States. It is comprised of six entirely separate entitles and each of these focuses on a different geographical area. There are many people that receive my dollar from my credit card. One is my bank is responsible for issuing my visa.  Also the places I spend my money at receives money. 

Home. This shows my class, nationality, and age. There is no way a 23 year old can consume a house this big. A lot of people my age still live at home. When I visit Boston I notice there were not houses around every corner. Boston has condos and smaller living areas. But in Utah we drive everywhere and have a 3 or 2 story floor house. 

I consume notebooks, pens, and school books. This is an connection to my identify of being a student. The things I intake as a student show 

Simple every day needs. Deodorant. Perfume. Tooth paste and brush. Hair brush. When looking at these products it shows my identity of being a women. How is gender representive? I notice a lot about how my gender shows so much. The colors I use. The food I eat. Such as salad. Drinking Diet Coke. 

I consume a blow dryer and straightener three times a week. This has to do with my race because I’m a girl and have long hair. I know these products were not made in United States. 

I consume hearing aids in both ears, This has to do with my disability of being hard of hearing.

I consumed my Honda car every day to get place to place.  The company builds over 14 million combustion engines every year and is the largest manufacturer in the world. This is a multinational corporation from Japan. 

I consumed this backpack everyday! #verabradley

Makeup is an everyday consuming. Most my make up is made from the company Mac. How does my daily consumption habits allow me to maintain the lifestyle that I live? I think its simple to say that the things i consume show  have a pretty easy life.  Consuming make up shows this is my lifestyle to take care of myself. Everything I consumed this week showed my lifestyle. Having the same make up brand in this picture shows my taste in makeup. 

Simple accessory I consume for the whole week. Earrings, watch, and hair ties.

Mac book pro I consume everyday for emails, music, homework and social media.(Facebook, Instagram, twitter, and blogs)

iPhone 5 I consume everyday for calls, texting, and social media. http://www.upworthy.com/that-iphone-in-your-pocket-youd-be-surprised-where-the-money-goes-when-you-buy-it 

{Sunday •March 9, 2014} Clothing: Comfy work out clothes. The way we dress is a huge representative of  culture. In America those who want to look simple,dresses in casual way. Those who want to be modern will dress according to latest trend. Other countries have a way of dressing such as in India you will see many women in saris. Another example is Russia they wear the fur trooper hats. Looking at my clothes  for the week they were very simple and cheep. This represents of a middle class american. I could have more expensive jewelry and clothes but that doesn't show my culture I was raised in. If I grew up in New York or California. I think my style would be more there culture which is high class. 

{Sunday •March 9, 2014} Dinner: Classic fish and chips. Food as you can tell I eat out. Eating out is my culture. My family loves to eat out. My parents love to support small little pubs and restraints that are local. When eating out we were eating at restaurants that were not huge name brands. We were getting fresh cooked meals everyday. 

{Sunday •March 9, 2014} Clothes: Dress and sandals. All my clothing is not made in United States. Everything is imported. The reason why, Is because the stores I shop at are middle price. Local stores that clothing's that are made here in Utah are more expensive. A lot of my clothes are from H and M and Old Navy. Old Navy is a American multinational. H and M is a swedish multinational. Our world is so connected but at the same time so different. 

{Sunday •March 9, 2014} Lunch: Cup of clam chowder. Chicken pot pie. Diet Coke.

{Sunday •March 9, 2014} Breakfast: Chocolate dip strawberries. What a healthy breakfast.
