NEW FAVORITES AND I'M BAACK!

Learning to accept and love

My life has been such a journey for only being eighteen years old.  I feel that I have been through a bucket full of obstacles and I am still trying to figure out how I am still alive and well. But that's the beauty of it, you can fall as many times as you get pushed, but you can also stand back up right after. Its crazy to think of how much I have made it through, and the idea makes me smile.It's important to look at the brightest side of things, especially when things are tough. Every day is a learning experience, and  I just wanted to touch light on the things that I have recently learned.

1) First and foremost, you need to take care of yourself

Many times I would try to jump into relationships, do things for others, and take on big tasks when I wasn't mentally or physically prepared to do so. For example, my junior year of high school I was badly depressed and couldn't think straight or make conscious decisions that would benefit me. Around that same time I decided to jump into a relationship with this guy, and it was a very terrible idea. the relationship was full of fighting, sadness, anger, and pain. I wasn't mentally ready for a relationship. Sometimes you have to work on yourself and take care of yourself before you do anything else. That way you are the best you can be and in a good place to achieve or take on the things that life has thrusted upon you.

2) With every negative, there's a positive

Dwelling on all the bad things in life was something I used to be so good at. I could always find something wrong with a situation, something negative about what was going on, yet I never asked myself "Is there a positive?". Its extremely important to try to find the positive side of every situation or task that you are enduring in life. you can do it, I promise there is something good. And if you can't think of something good, I know in the future you will because everything in life is a lesson and you can learn from whatever has happened.

3)Don't let others determine how you feel

Someone called you a name, talked behind your back, treated you with such disrespect. So why would you want to give them any power to shape the way you think or feel about yourself? Don't let anyone impact your life in a negative way. You are so much stronger and better then that. People can be cruel and mean, but don't give their opinion about you that much power. At the end of the day they may be dealing with some demons themselves.

These are just a few things that I have been learning recently in my life that have greatly impacted my though process. I hope that it helps someone that is maybe a little lost or down lately. It gets better; you and I are living proof of that. Your breathing, healthy, able to read something on the internet, you have so much ahead of you in life. No matter what happens, remember how strong you are. Look back on your life, look at all you've accomplished. YES making it through a tough situation is an acoomplishment. Wipe those tears, let it go, and stay strong.

love you all, Muah!

How to: Green Smoothie

Eating healthy is super important, for your body and mind! But we all know that it isn't to easy and a reasonable goal to take out all the fast food and bad things that we put into our bodies. So I suggest a different approach, instead of taking out all these foods, instead I suggest to ADD things to your diet to make yourself feel SO MUCH BETTER. Green smoothies are great because you can drink them for breakfast, and on the go which is great, and still get all the nutrients and vitamins that you need. Also, there easy to make!

Here is a recipe that I use to make a FABULOUS green smoothie!

Ingredients:

3 kale leaves
1/2 apple
1 cup coconut milk
1 tbsp. cinnamon
1/2 cup pine apple
water ( optional)

I made a video showing how I use these ingredients to make an amazing smoothie that  tastes great and is also great for you! I hope you enjoy!

School Bag Organization Tips

Although School has already started for many, for others it either hasn't started, or they are not looking forward to the messy papers and flying pencils in their school bag. Weather you use a backpack, tote, or cross body bag, backpack organization is a must to stay sane during the long year ahead! That's where I come in. I am here to give you some ideas for things to keep in your school bag, and also show you some great tips to keep it organized.

Things to keep in your school bag:

Now although it is pretty obvious that your keep SCHOOL SUPPLIES in your school bag, their are specific things that  I do to keep my bag a bit more organized. Instead of using a binder  I like to use folders and notebooks for two reasons. 1) its a lot less heavier on my shoulders, and 2) It keeps me organized! Keeping all my papers, syllabuses and such in the folder for that class really helps me stay organized and ready for school.

I think its also good to always carry a planner in your back to school bag. Its a great way to stay organized through out your...LIFE! haha But seriously, everything you have going on you can organize out in your planner so that way you know what your doing today, tomorrow, what days your free, when your next appointment ect.

To see the rest of the items I carry in my back to school bag, check out my video! : http://youtu.be/uEwj6EhX484

TIPS FOR ORGANIZATION:

1) Always try to put your papers in the folder for that specific class, but a way to be even more organized is to put one side of the folder all your handouts and work you got back , and then the other side to put all the papers that have yet to be turned in.

2) Make a to do list! This will help you stay organized inside your own head. Maybe get a composition notebook which is what I am using for school. List out things you have to get down and do it in a way that will help you personally because everyone thinks differently.

3) Prioritize your classes. Figure out which class is that harder one and make sure you put in the amount of study time for each class. So if your math class is way harder then your English class, then dedicated more time towards the math class so that way you can feel like both are on good terms!

4) Highlight your notes in different colors. This will help you stay organized if you say put yellow in the " MUST REMEMERS" and pink as the " DONT FORGETS" etc. Which ever way best fits you!

If you would like more tips let me know and  I will make a part two!
