4th of July Weekend

Hi everyone, It's Maanvi back with another post. Before we start today's post I just wanted to wish everyone a Happy 4th of July!

Today, My family and I went to 3 different mosaic staircase parks in San Fransisco (which is also known as SFO.) We went to the Lincoln Park Steps, Hidden Garden Steps, 16th Avenue Tiled Steps. Now, Let's Begin!

While going to visit the steps I would recommend wearing a neutral color like brown, or black. It's better if you do this because you would get better pictures and wouldn't camouflage with the color of the steps.

Lincoln Park Steps

The Lincoln Park Steps had beautiful yellow, green, red, and blue mosaic stones. It was vibrant and was my favorite out of the three places we went to. The steps were wider and larger than the other two places. It even had benches to sit on in between the steps. To learn more about the Lincoln Park Steps visit ~ http://www.lincolnparksteps.org/. Here is a picture I took of the steps...

Hidden Garden Steps

The Hidden Garden Steps had many plants and animals and had a lot of nature. It was also literally hidden in plain sight. My dad and a friend's dad just kept on walking without even realizing the steps were right in front of them. And next to the steps there were beautiful flowers and succulents.

16 Avenue Tiled Steps

The 16 Avenue Tiled Steps had steps that looked like an aquarium and were filled with designs of sea creatures. And had a beautiful garden of plants around it. At the top of the steps, there is a beautiful view where you can see the whole city and even the Golden Gate Bridge! And it's a beautiful place to take pictures.

Hi everyone! It's Maanvi back with another post! Today, my family and I went to the Araceli Farms located in Dixon, California. The Araceli Farms is known for its beautiful lavender which comes in different colors like white and purple. The lavender fields are pretty and are filled with beautiful lavender flowers. You can even bring your pets and enjoy taking beautiful pictures. Other than beautiful lavender flowers, they also have beverages and a store. There is also a seating area where you can sit and enjoy the beautiful view. To learn more about the Araceli Lavender Farms visit ~ https://www.aracelifarms.com/.

My Covid Vaccination Experience

Hi everyone, It's Maanvi and today I am going to be sharing with you guys my covid vaccination experience. I recently got fully vaccinated and wanted to share with you guys how the whole experience was so it can help you if you plan on getting it. Now, Let's begin!

Dose 1

I am going to be sharing with you how I felt after I got my 1rst dose. After I got it my hand was hurting for 2-5 minutes, and then the pain went away. Throughout the day my hand would suddenly hurt. It mainly started to hurt whenever I lifted my arm. I tried to avoid lifting it because then it wouldn't hurt. For the first dose, I didn't have a huge reaction like falling sick, instead, my hand would just hurt if I lifted it. I had mentally prepared myself if I had a huge reaction but I ended up not having a big reaction. I thought I wouldn't have a big reaction for the second dose too but I was wrong.

Dose 2

The second dose was way worse than I expected. I got my second dose and felt the same way I had felt when I got the first dose (after I got it my hand was hurting for 2-5 minutes, and then the pain went away). Since I felt the same way I wasn't mentally prepared like I should have been for what would happen next. I felt the same way I had felt when I got the first dose for the rest of the day (throughout the day my hand would suddenly hurt. It mainly started to hurt whenever I lifted my arm). That night I went to sleep and then at 4 am I woke up because I was shivering. My whole body was warm but I was shivering. I got up and went to go wake up my mom. First, she checked my forehead to see if I have a fever. Then she gave me an extra blanket because I was shivering. I slept until 8 am and then woke up. My mom checked my temperature to see if I had a fever. My temperature was 38° Celsius which equals 100° Fahrenheit. After doing a little research we learned that shivering was one of the side effects. I was sick the whole day and mostly slept. And then the next day I recovered and didn't have a fever anymore. I didn't have a fever but the next day my arm was still hurting and I had a really bad headache. I had also found out that headaches are one of the side effects. The headache and arm pain lasted for 2 days, and then they finally went away. I didn't take Tylenol, but I drank a lot of water and they eventually went away. Here are some things I did to make my fever go away...

1. Drinking a lot of water ( At least 2 bottles a day )

2. Taking a Tylenol tablet ( I took half of a Tylenol tablet)

3. Sleeping

Those are the things I did to make my fever go away. All of them really impacted how soon my fever would go away.

I hope you enjoyed this post! Be waiting for another post!
