Yesterday we went to Newbridge for our second mini company workshop with Orla from Enterprise Ireland. We were there with St.Marys school from Naas who had almost the exact same uniform as us which made it hard if you're looking for someone in a room full of girls! For most of the workshop Orla talked about marketing and promotion for our businesses.
Our mini company idea is a nail varnish pen that has a remover on one side and the nail varnish on the other. We decided to call our company 'Indulgence' and our slogan is 'Only a fingertip away.' We are doing 8 different colours for the nail varnish so we are basing it around The 7 Deadly Sins but adding in an extra sin to make it 8 (theres 8 people in our team!) with each colour being a different sin (eg red = lust and green = envy.)
We think we have found someone in poland who will make the product for us so at the moment we're working with Mr.Walsh to get our porduct drawn up on solid works to send to the producer :)

5 things to do this week...
Ok so Ms. L isn't in today but she's left us with the challenge of '5 things I have to do for TY this week.' The week is almost over so I'm going to do it for next week aswell...
1. Perfect our fun walk dance..
The fun walk is tomorrow!! In my last blog post everything was great, we were getting organised but then it turned into one big disaster. We couldn't organise anything but then at the start of this week with the help of Mr.Lawlor we finally decided on our dance. Hopefully we'll have another practise today to perfect it.
2. Finish the music script.
In music we're doing an opera to the movie 'Mean Girls.' I was put on the script commitee with Shannon so we have to write the script. Its a lot harder than I thought but its fun and a challenge. We're hoping to get it finished after I finish this blog so i better hurry up!
3. Geography project
Our geography project is due in about 3 or 4 weeks so I have to keep working on it. I've completley finished Thailand so hopefully next week I'll be finished Nepal and Cambodia.
4. Home Ec....
We're still working on our outfit in home ec so I have to look around to see if theres any feathers, etc at home that we could use for our outfit. We're basing our outfit on The Black Swan and our colours are black and white. We have the top of the jeans cut to use as a high waisted skirt and next we have to sew our top to shape..
5. Mini company...don't mention it..
Aaah mini company is stressfull stuff!! Our group have our idea but we have to research and try find a company to make our idea. We're making a nail varnish pen that has the nail varnish on one side and remover on the other. I'm the finance manager in the group, lucky me! I have to collect the information from our survey to get the average price people would pay for the pen..
Busy times ahead...yay

Update.. :)
All the madness of last week is now over! We're back into our normal TY routine and the projects are starting to pile up now.
Our young scientists one page proposal is due next week and we are no where near finished. There's so much more information needed than I thought. The one page proposal is what we're judged on and that decides whether we get into the competition or not.
Mini company is also a lot more stressful than I thought it'd be! We have our idea but now we have to try find out if it can actually be made and if people would buy it. We're going to Naas soon for a talk about mini company so hopefully that will help us, we need it anyway!
Yeah, theres not much more happening right now :)
