Hey CiCi,
I think that your page is very interesting! I also did adorning the body but I had no idea that women used pleats to decorate their clothes! I especially like your pictures!! I also didn’t know they used malachite like eye shadow that is so neat! I really liked your post and learned a lot from it !!
I really liked how you organized your information with bullet points. It makes it very easy to read and look at. I also like how you made paragraphs.
