What is UP guys!?

…Ok, it’s been a hot second. I know. BUT! Hear me out. It’s been a roller coaster of a couple years. In the time that I’ve been gone, I graduated high school, got into the university I’ve wanted to go to since before I started this page, and turned 17, then 18, and finally 19! So, I’ve regrettably been gone for almost 3 years. However, with nearly 3 years of more living comes nearly 3 years of more ADVICE to give you guys! So technically, you all should be thanking me 🤷🏾‍♀️. Regardless, I apologize for making it seem like I’ve abandoned my readers. I’m back now, though!!

Changes

Okay y’all. There will be a slight change in content. Well, less of a change and more of an expansion of topics I will be covering on this page. In addition to writing about the usual fashion and mindset related content, I’m gonna try incorporating health and food research related content, as well. This will look like what I might be eating recently, deep-diving into ingredients hiding in our favorite snacks that may be harmful to us humans, and the kinds of vitamins you should be looking for when grabbing something to eat. I am in no way a professional, but I do eat, and I do care about my health. So, those are my qualifications. And don’t worry; this WILL NOT become the entirety of my page. ‘Tis but a slight evolution. After all, I’m not a sophomore/junior in high school anymore so my interests have changed. And I guess my interests now include being an amateur researcher 🤷🏾‍♀️.

I am still debating on whether or not I will be rebranding my page as well, just to throw that out there!

Conclusion

Okay! I think that is about it on the updates! I look forward to posting for you guys again and I hope you all stick around for the new content coming soon!

Bye for now!

Hey! Wow, I haven’t been on here in a while. This isn’t going to be an organized post, but I just feel the need to say this. I’ve gotten pretty stressed out with school and other responsibilities lately, so I isolated myself from a lot of things. I had no interest in blogging, doing chores, schoolwork, doing simple things like eating decently or combing my hair, and even socializing. Everything just felt super overwhelming. This week, I recently just started actually talking to my best friend. Not just chatting about small stuff, but like, actually ranting and really opening up to her. I haven’t done that in a while because I felt like no one, even people in similar situations to me, would understand or that they would judge me for my feeling like this. But if you are struggling with the same thing I was struggling with, just think about why you are friends with this person in the first place. Think about why you and this person, or these people, get along so well. If it’s because you relate to each other, then they will probably understand what you’re going through, and they’re probably going through the same thing. Never forget that your friends are still your friends and that they want to see how you are doing. Right now, more than ever, we need to check up on each other and be all-ears when someone says they need to talk or rant. Right now, it’s even more difficult to interact with people you don’t live with. You actually have to make an effort to talk, so I understand that you may not have the willpower or mental strength to go out of your way to talk to your friends. But it is highly encouraged that you do this. Your friend might be struggling with their mental state, and it’s important that you reach out to them to see how they’re doing, because they might not be looking to reach out and ask for help. If you are struggling and not looking to ask for help, just remember that you are not an inconvenience and I’m sure there is someone waiting by their phone, hoping that you’ll reach out to them to talk about something . Guys just freaking help each other out and be kind. We all need to really talk to each other, okay. Thanks for reading! 🤗❤️

Hello, person reading this. Quarantine has us cleaning and organizing everything in our rooms/homes. Some of us, like me, don’t know where to start. So when I finally figured out the best way to go about cleaning my room, I gathered some tips to organize and decorate my room. Here they are:

𝙿𝙻𝙰𝙽𝙽𝙸𝙽𝙶~

1. Make a Pinterest board of rooms that you like and see what they all have in common.
   
2. Notice the things you like about those rooms, mainly decorations or pictures or bedding.
   
3. Make a list of all the things the rooms have in common, and the things you like about the rooms.

4. Look at your room section by section. Make lists for all the sections of your room. In those lists, write down what you want to change in those sections, and what you will need. You can also do a rough sketch of what you want the room to look like. It helps a lot when you know exactly where you want everything to be. 

5. Dedicate a week or so to organize and redecorate your room. Do a little bit each day. For example, do two shelves in your closet one day, the next day, clean out your bookshelf, the next day, tackle under your bed. The last couple of days should be for redecorating

6. ALSO THINK ABOUT STORAGE SPACE

𝙾𝚁𝙶𝙰𝙽𝙸𝚉𝙸𝙽𝙶~

1. I remember someone once said, while cleaning/organizing, when you’re not sure what to keep or get rid of, if you  haven’t used or thought about an item in the last year, you don’t need it.
   
2. I have a hard time getting rid of things I had since I was a kid, so this tip really helped. When you’re needing to get rid of something you’re not ready to give up, like a childhood toy, just think of how happy the next person who gets it is gonna be.
   
3. Make four piles for the things that you are gonna organize: one for keeping, one for donating, one for throwing away, and an “ I’ll think about it” pile.

𝙼𝙸𝚂𝙲𝙴𝙻𝙻𝙰𝙽𝙴𝙾𝚄𝚂~ 

1. Take a before and after picture of each space in your room. It’s just cool to see what it looked like before it was put together.
   
2. I recommend doing this every six months since your deep cleaning the whole entire room. I reorganized and redecorated my room in June, so I’ll do it again in December. This helps me to keep up the organization all year round.
   

Whatever you’re organizing/cleaning, I hope these tips helped you in some way or another. Also stay tuned for my 1 year anniversary post tomorrow! I’ll also be announcing something special. Thanks for reading! 😊❤️

 Hello, person reading this! So, it’s summertime, & a lot of us are STILL in quarantine/lockdown, so I’m back with yet another list of things to do when you’re bored! Let’s get started.

1. Learn a new language~ this could be a fun way to engage your brain by learning about the ways others could communicate. I’m currently learning sign language! Pace yourself if you do this, though, learning a new language can be difficult, but you can do it!

2. Weekly challenges~ this is something my family & I are doing right now. My sister & I are on the last couple of days of no sugary foods/drinks. Next week, my dad & I are going to go vegetarian for a week. After that week, my sister & I are going to do a SUPER intense workout everyday for a week. Other challenges you could do could be that you only drink water for a week, no dairy for a week,  be asleep by 8:30 pm everyday for a week, wake up at 5 am everyday for a week, etc. The purpose of these challenges are to experience how others might be living their day-to-day lives. You might even find a new way you want to live your own life!

3. Buy a skateboard~  Learn to ride said skateboard.  For those of you who already have one but never used it… you know what to do.

4. Send something to your friends~ Write a letter asking them how they’re doing. Attach a little picture or token to the letter. Print out a meme or two. I’m sure it’ll brighten their day!

5. Call everyone in your contact list & see who picks up

6. Clean out your phone storage~ delete any photos or videos you don’t need/want, delete any apps you don’t use anymore, unfollow people you’re not interested in anymore, unsubscribe from emailing lists you’re not interested in anymore. Trust me, you’ll feel much better when you do.

7. Start audio journaling~ you can do this at morning, at night, or both. You can talk about anything. Talk about what happened that day or what you’re planning to do that day. Talk about how you’re feeling. Think of it as a personal podcast. This is great if you’re too busy (or lazy, let’s be honest) to grab a pen & paper every morning or every night and write about your day. All you have to do is open your voice notes app, & start talking. 

8. Disney+ is a great pastime~ I’ve been re-watching all of the old Disney Channel shows I used to love when I was in elementary & middle school! It brings back lots of memories. 

9. Redo some childhood paintings~ this is fun because you don’t need a new canvas. You’re kind of recycling one. I did this with a painting of a beach I did in middle school. It wasn’t that bad, but I could’ve done better. I kept some of the painting untouched, so it was almost like a collaborative painting between my current self & past self. In a way, it’s symbolic. ~Using your past mistakes as inspiration to do better in the present~ haha

10. Take a nap~ honestly, a short nap (I’m talking like an hour) is sometimes all you need to freshen your mind. Plus, it burns some time so that when you wake up again, hopefully you will think of something.

Aaannnd that concludes part two of things to do when you’re bored. Hopefully you find something fun to do on this list. Again, wash your hands, WEAR A MASK, STAY SIX FEET APART, AND STAY THE HECK HOME IF YOU ARE SICK!!! Thanks for reading! 🤗❤️

Hello, person reading this! I’m gonna be honest, this year is EXTREMELY difficult for a lot of us. I think we could all use some encouraging words. This post consists of 16 quotes & bible verses that keep me going forward in this trying time. Enjoy! 😊

1. “Casting all your worries on him, because he cares for you.”- 1 Peter 5:7 “I will not cause pain without allowing something new to be born, says the lord.”- Isaiah 66:9

2. “At the end of the day, tell yourself gently: ‘I love you, you did the best you could today, & even if you didn’t accomplish all you had planned, I love you anyway.’”- Anonymous
“Hey you, keep living. It won’t always be this overwhelming.”- Jacqueline Whitney

3. “You got this”- Anonymous

4. “Difficult roads often lead to beautiful destinations”- Anonymous 

5. “Sometimes the bad things that happen in our lives put us directly on the path to the best things that will ever happen to us.”- Anonymous

6. “What’s coming is better than what is gone.”- Anonymous 

7. “But he said to me, ‘my grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness…’”- 2 Corinthians 12:9

8. “Hey, I know you’re probably not in the best state of mind right now, but I wanted to remind you that you won’t feel like this forever, & you won’t be in the situation that’s making you feel this way forever. I know it may feel like you’re stumbling around in darkness right now, & you don’t know what to do or how to get out, but soon, light will guide the way.”- Me (hehe) 

9. “Hopelessness is temporary”- Me, again (hehe)

10. “Jesus replied, ‘You do not realize now what I am doing, but later you will understand.’”- John 13:7

11. “You are exactly where you need to be.”- Anonymous 

12. “Don’t worry about things you have no control over.”- Anonymous 

13. “Better days are coming.”- Anonymous 

14. “You are bigger than what is making you anxious.”- Anonymous 

15. “Soon, when all is well, you’re going to look back on this period of your life & be so glad that you never gave up.”- Brittany Burgunder 

16. “Peace I leave with you. My peace I give to you; not as the world gives, give I to you. Don’t let your heart be troubled, neither let it be fearful.”- John 14:27

Remember, you are already SO strong, these words of encouragement are just to spark the strength in you. Keep going, & thanks for reading! 🤗❤️

Hello person reading this! If for some reason you didn’t already know, we can’t go anywhere. We can’t see anyone. We can’t do ANYTHING that includes human contact. Of course we have to do this for everyone’s safety, but it’s boring staying in the house all day. And because I’ve been inside for so long, I came up with things to do in order to, you know, feel occupied! Here’s what I came up with:

1. Get an empty notebook/journal and make it a positivity book~ I actually started doing this last summer, and it’s really fun and uplifting to do. I started by finding some quotes and posts on Pinterest that make me feel happy, and started writing my own stuff from there. You can really just put anything in your book, as long as it makes you feel positive. Doodle cute drawings, make up a nice story, write a list of things that make you happy, anything really. 
2. Put together a schedule to follow during the week~ I also started doing this last summer because I got tired of feeling like I wasted a day doing absolutely nothing. Yes, sometimes that’s nice, but everyday? No thanks. Schedules add some structure to your week and they make you feel productive at the end of the day once you got everything done. You can also make sure that you’re waking up and going to bed at the same time. On my schedule, I wake up at 6 am, and go to sleep at 10 pm. A good 8 hours of sleep. AND having a schedule allows you to not spend excessive amounts on your phone watching Tik Toks (which, yes, I’m guilty of…oops). This probably isn’t for everyone, but I like I make sure to do the things I need to do (like schoolwork) and give myself time to do the things I want to do without feeling overwhelmed.
3. Redecorate your room~ just because. I don’t know what else to say.
4. Be a human canvas~ If you don’t have canvases but want to paint, boy do I have a solution for you! Get some body or face paint, and just paint away! If you don’t have an idea of what to paint, look up some ideas on Pinterest. There’s plenty of really cool things you can paint to pass the time.
5. Have a music video watching marathon~ watch ALL of your favorite singer/band’s music videos that they’ve ever made in order from the first one to the most recent one.
6. Make a bucket list of all the things you want to do when you don’t have to social distance any more~ It could be as simple as going to your favorite grocery store or the mall, or it could be something big like traveling to all 50 states or hosting a party for your friends and family 
7. Walk around your entire neighborhood~ of course not everyone lives in a neighborhood or a safe area where that can be allowed, but if you do, this could be a fun thing to do. You can even make it a challenge. Let’s say the first day, you walk around your neighborhood in an hour and a half, the next day, try to beat that time. Doing this will make you feel like you accomplished something. You also went outside, so you most likely should feel more energized once you get back to your house. 
8. Start a blog or YouTube channel~ it’s kinda cool to have a channel or blog to yourself. I don’t think you should do both at the same time, but if you can handle it, do whatever makes you feel comfortable.
9. Binge read all of my posts on this blog if you want!~ When your done with mine, you can go over to my good friend Lily’s blog, “Live Life The Girl Way”. She definitely has a lot more posts than me, and her blog is just such a positive place on the internet, so GO CHECK HER STUFF OUT! http://livelifethegirlway.com/welcome
10. Put together some outfits~ planning out outfits can be really fun. Once you have an outfit, take a pic or write down what you have on so you won’t forget. If you don’t want to do that, there are a couple other clothing related activities you could do, such as cleaning out/organizing your closet or doing some online shopping!

Alright, I don’t think I have anymore ideas at this time. If something else comes to mind, I will definitely make a part two to this post. Hope some of these suggestions gave you something to do. Stay home, stay safe, wash your hands, don’t touch your face, and thanks for reading! 😊❤️

Hello, person reading this. As you know, it is February, & Valentines Day is this Friday! Valentine’s Day is a day to celebrate love. Now, this doesn’t have to be romantic love. You can celebrate other kinds of love too. Here are some options to get you thinking.

Option #1~ You can make this day about how much you love your friends and family, and how thankful you are for them.  Think of it as a second Thanksgiving, but with less turkey and stuffing and more flowers and candy. Write a “love-letter” to each of them telling them how much you appreciate them. Give them those Spongebob valentines that used to be exchanged in elementary school. Just make sure you let them know how much you care about them.

Option #2~ You can also make this day about self-love. I know, it sounds cheesy and stupid, but it’s true. That is most definitely an option, especially if you don’t appreciate who you are the rest of the year. Treat yourself today. Buy yourself candy and flowers. Take a nice bath with candles. Write yourself a cute note. If you want, you can take YOURSELF on a date. Take your friends with you if you want!

Option #3~ Make V-Day about your pet! Take your pet on a spa day. Get them a gift basket of toys and treats. Make them feel loved! Plus, you can probably dress them up and take pictures of or with them. 

Option #4~ Make Valentines Day about people who may not get much love on Valentines Day. You can volunteer at shelters or food drives. Donate to the needy, help people you don’t even know out. Everyone deserves love on Valentines Day!!!!!

Whatever you decide to do this Valentines Day, make sure you do it with love. Happy Valentines Day & thanks for reading 😊❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
