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!

Short Blog! My Healthy shopping

Recently I have decided to eat 10 million times healthier! I had gotten to a place where I notice how bad my eating habbits were... follow me shopping for healthy food!

Breakups: My life Part 2

This is the 2nd part to my Breakups: My life.

When I met him in that coffee shop  I felt as if I couldn't remember all the terrible things that happened between me and him. The fact that he was my first made me connected to him on a certain level, but I thought I could get over that part. Right when I saw him again, that's all  I could think about. I had given him something so special... to a piece of shit guy  I might add.

While we talked he apologized for all the lies he had told to me. He said he had matured and that he had learned from our relationship ending. I walked right into more of his lies, as embaressing as it is to say, I believed him. After  I left the coffee shop I felt like I needed more. Just talking through things wasn't enough. I contacted him and skipping to the actual stuff, we got back together about a month later.

But the lies hadn't stopped. He never told his parents that we got back together like he said he had. He talked to ANOTHER girl while we were together. The lies had... I wanted to say gotten worse but I don't think any lie justifys as an "okay lie to tell". I found all of this out but I still chose to stay with him.  I got to a bad place though where my depression was starting to come back very badly. It was such a toxic relationship and  I was letting it control me.

I started feeling so badly about myself that  I felt like the relationship was the only "good thing" that I had, although that was far from true. He became very judgmental and would talk down to me and make me feel little. He started to get on me for things that I did and it almost seemed that he wanted me to change everything about myself. As you guys can tell, we broke up again for the 2nd time.

Dealing with this breakup: It has been so different then the last breakup. I have felt so much more confident in myself this time,  I finally realize that I deserve better and that I WILL HAVE better. Someone who treats me the way I want to be treated, the right way. And most importantly someone who is honest with me. Ive probably only cried twice in the last two months and it feels good to know that he is a piece of shit (mind my language). Instead of missing him, I am happy and  I feel that he treated me that way due to the problems in his own life. He has something wrong with him and its NOT me. I am now focusing on myself and keeping myself happy and healthy. I am my first priority.

Anyone out there in a toxic relationship, or going through a breakup,  I want you to know that you are so important and its not selfish or bad to put yourself first. There is only one you and you need to FOCUS on what's important. The person your with doesn't define you and doesn't control you. Do what makes you happy and feels good, and the rest will fall into place.

Breakups : My life Part 1

Dealing with a breakup is hard....so hard. I had to deal with a breakup twice with the same person, and that was very interesting. The first time we broke up, it was mainly because we argued a lot, and he lied to me so many times.  I got to a point where  I didn't trust him at all, and the things he did made me feel so much anger towards him constantly. We would argue so much and  I found myself looking for reasons to get mad at him, just to get back at him for the things he had done to me.

When we first dated he had lied to me about so many things in his life. I was a Junior in high school, and we went to different schools but met through a volunteering program. He started telling me how he was on the football team, that he was from new York, and that he slept with a numerous number of girls (which btw was NOT attractive).

These little things that he told me, were so simple that at the time I didn't know he was lying. Then a couple months after we were talking, he told me that he had a brain tumor. I didn't know what to think of this at the time because 1)who would lie about something like that and 2) if I were to accuse him of lying and he was telling the truth, that would look terrible on my part. So for our whole relationship I was thinking that this was true (it still disgust me).  The list of things he lied about was endless.

I remember one time that my grandpa had gotten in a car accident, and I was so hurt sad and scared for my grandpa. I really had trusted this boy at the time so I told him what happened. He claimed that he was in the hospital at the time but that he was going to ask his nurse if my grandpa was staying at the same hospital. He LIED straight to my face, when I was most vulnerable. I don't understand how anyone could do that.Yes, I bet your wondering why I would be stupid enough to stay with him, but  I didn't find out that this was all a lie until the day after we broke up. Definetely not my favorite memory.

Dealing with the Breakup:  Well when I was having to deal with this breakup, it was difficult because someone that I had loved and cared for so much,  someone I had told everything to, someone I thought  I could trust had lied to me about everything. Our whole relationship was a lie. At first I pretended as if it never happened. The first 2 weeks of being broken up I basically talked to other guys and didn't think about it at all. Then one day it decided to hit me...hard.

I realized that this guy was not in my life anymore. Although it was a good thing that we weren't together anymore, it was so crazy to think about what all has happened. I have depression, it runs in my family, so dealing with something like this hit me 10 times harder then I thought it would. I would cry a lot at night because I didn't understand. I didn't understand how someone who claimed to love me so much could lie to me about everything, call me names and treat me so negatively.

Then one day it got better. I started to realize that I was going to be okay. But then I got to a point where I  didn't just want to be "okay"... I wanted to be happy again. I saw my ex boyfriend 8 months later walking downtown randomly and I considered this a "sign" that we had unfinished business. I contacted his mother and set up a time to meet up with him and talking. Mind you that for 8 months he never tried to contact me after we broke up.

We met up and I started to have feelings for him again. Or at least I thought  I did.

Let me know if you guys want to know the rest. Part 2 will be up soon.

Back to School : Makeup

For most teenagers, going back to school is an exciting and crazy time! You get to meet new people, make new friends, and start fresh. School is where so many experiences happen. Now being a girl who has gone through middle school, high school, and some college, I know one of the most exciting things for us girls is dressing up for the first day of school. Hair, makeup, clothes, it all goes together with the excitement of school and fall starting up again. I created a makeup look that ANYONE can achieve at home, for the first day of school. This is a quick and easy look that fits for any skin color and skin type! Its simple yet dressy! If you would like to see how to achieve this look then check out my video at the bottom of this post! ALSO  I wanted to talk about how important it is to express yourself! Be yourself the first day of school, meaning you don't have to fit in with the social norm! I love makeup and its a passion of my which is why I made this video, but if you do not like to wear makeup or dress up for the first day of school, that's awesome too! Just be yourself :) love you all!

Invisalign Review and Info.

Background Info:  I've always had "perfect teeth". Ever since I was little my teeth were just always straight and looked extremely well to me. Well last winter I had to get my wisdom teeth removed (which by the way was an extremely awful experience).

After I got my wisdom teeth taken out, my teeth started to shift and 7 months later I went to the dentist and he saw that my teeth were shifting ALOT. I started getting a lot of gaps in my mouth, also my overbite was pretty bad and crookedness was taking over my mouth. Now I may be over exaggerating a bit just because it is my mouth so I might notice it more then everyone else, but nonetheless I decided to go to the orthodontist.

I had two options, I could either get Braces, or invisalign and of course that wasn't a hard choice for me. I don't have anything against braces, but I didn't want to look any younger, especially since ill be going to college this fall. So I chose invisalign

A little about Invisiline:  Invisalign are clear inserts that you put over your teeth and they essentially do the same job as braces. You switch the invisiline pieces and replace them with a tighter or different one every two weeks depending on how your teeth are.

With invisalign you can eat whatever you want because you are able to take them out, but dentist/orthodontist prefer you to have them in at least 22 hours a day. You need to clean your invisiline often and brush your teeth before you put them back in after you eat.


Review: So far I've had invisiline for only a few weeks, but so far I like it a ton. I will have Invisiline for 18 months which is a very long time, but  I feel it will go by fast! The first few days when I first started the invisalign it was not so amazing. My teeth were aching and sore and I felt as if I didn't want to eat anything because  I was afraid to take them out. But after the first few days went by, I realized that it wasn't so bad, and I almost don't even notice them now!

 I really love the Invisalign because I can eat whatever I want still, just as long as I take them out before. Ive notice some improvement in my teeth already and when I start a new set and its sore, it doesn't bother me as much anymore because it reminds me that my teeth are moving and getting better :) I will keep you all updated on my teeth!

If you would like to see a before and after picture, I will be putting it up on my Instagram which is :Sadiebrookie.

Sadies Journal Entry : 6/15/13

Alright guys.. so heres another journal entry from June! Talking about my crazy dramatic life... no just kidding. but I hope you enjoy! :O

6/15/13

Dear JOURNAL,
So yes...yes its true... I GRADUATED!! Graduation was SO MUCH FUN! I enjoyed it and it was such a special moment in my life :) I'm so happy I had such great friend and family there to support me. So after graduation I was still debating on weather or not I wanted to go to the grad night party but I chose to go and I'm so glad I did! It was a great experience and I'm happy I got the chance to do it! Driving to the bowl and skate place in Lynnwood was pretty lame (except the hypnosis was AWESOME). But my favorite part was going to the science center! I still can't believe I hate a cricket.....but it was worth it cause I won 4 mariners tickets!! yesss!! So yeah it was all great besides Makaelynns annoying selfishness. I really honestly don't see how we're "friends" because our personalities clash. We are completely different people and I truly don't like her personality at all. End of story haha. So yeah pretty much today I have to work and then me and lexie might hangout later on this evening which will be nice :) Oh so yeah about the Randy thing, I decided that I am going to wait until Wednesday and if he hasn't called yet then I am going to say something. I can't go on like this and feel like I'm starting to put myself in a negative situation so I can either do something about it or move on... I'm in control of my life so I will fix this. I hope that there's a good reason but if he really doesn't want to talk then Id rather know now. Alright I gotta go!

Follow your Dreams: My youtube Channel

Hey Everyone! So this isn't like the other types of posts that I usually do, this was is special because today I will be talking about my youtube channel! In December of 2012 I finally decided that after Christmas I would make a youtube channel. I had been wanting to for almost a year but was to afraid to see what people would say and how they would perceive me. One day I realized that the only reason I wasn't making a youtube video was because of everyone else. I was letting everyone else control a decision that would only better my life, so I then decided 'What the Heck! I'll do it'

Starting my first video was one of the best things I could of possibly done.  I am so happy because I can express myself, and it has helped me grow as a person and care less about what others think. Ive been working on my channel for 8 months now and am still going pretty strong. I have a very good fan base which makes me so happy because anyone who is so kind and supportive always has a place in my heart. I appreciate all the amazing and kind reactions and comments my viewers give to me.

The types of videos that  I make are all over the place. I do the makeup fashion and beauty type of videos, but I also make motivational videos where I talk about positive affirmations and how to be happier. I am not always going to make a specific type of video, I am going to make whatever I am feeling and whatever makes me and my viewers happy :) Now although this has been a lot about my channel and my expierence, what I am trying to get at is that you should do whatever makes you happy. Do not care about what others think because at the end of the day its your life, and your dreams on the line, not theres. You Only Live Once. Make the most of it.

Negativity to Motivation

Dealing with Negative Situations

Part One

 

Recently I have been dealing with a lot of not so great moments in my life and usually my initial reaction would be to curl up in a hole and hide away from the world for a couple weeks. But the other day I realized, that clearly wasn't working for me. Me and my boyfriend just broke up within the last two weeks, and  I thought this was going to be a hard breakup to get over, but honestly it only took me a couple of days. I took that negative moment in my life and turned it into something that could motivate me to better myself and create happier moments in my life. So far it has been a great feeling for me so I thought  I would share with you some tips of how to do this, and explain some of the things that I personally did to make Negativity become Motivation.
 

                                                                                                                                                                        

                   1.Positive affirmations

I know I bring these up a lot but I cannot stress enough how much these will help you stay positive and feel better. They can really change your outlook on a negative situation.

 

 Ex: When me and my ex boyfriend broke up, instead of saying how I was never going to find another person and how I was terrible in the relationship and all the negative things a person might say, I instead said how wonderful I was and how  I WAS going to find a person that would treat me nicely.

 

Task: Look in the mirror every morning when you wake up and every night before you go to bed and tell yourself 5 Positive affirmations. You can find them online, or even make them up yourself. At the end, look yourself in the eye and tell yourself " I love you". What's important when doing this is actually feeling what your saying, don't just say it and roll your eyes; try to mean it.
 

 

                                        2. Keeping Busy

 
A lot of people say that during breakups or during hard times with family and things like that, that you should hangout with friends and go do stuff. I totally agree with this and I am going to tell you why.

Ex: During my breakup I realized that I would think about it in the morning before work but right when I got to work, its like as if it never happened. Then when I got off work it was back on my mind again so instead of going home I went to hangout with friends and once again it kept my mind off of it. Each day it got easier, to the point where before work I wouldn't even think about it because I was looking forward to all the stuff I had planned to do that day

 

Task: Find things you absolutely LOVE to do. Things that make you happy and people that make you feel good about yourself and confident. Make a list of these things and do at least one of them a day or once a week (whichever is best for you). Do those things, especially around the time of something hard or bad. You focusing on these happy things  and keeping busy does NOT mean that you don't care about the current bad issue in your life and it doesn't NOT mean that you wont have days where it will be on your mind. But it will help you feel stronger and more in control in your situation.

 

                              3. Let it out

Venting is a good way to get those feelings out that you have been holding in about your negative situation. But don't go venting to every single person you know

.  

Ex: I keep a journal where I like to write about things going on in my life, the good and the bad. this is a good place for me to vent because I don't feel judged or like my secrets will get spread and changed around from person to person.

 

Task: Write in a journal or talk to someone you trust very much about what's going on. Whatever is most comfortable for you and just get all of that built up stress, anger, sadness, or negativity out of your system! It will feel good, trust me. ( if you don't feel comfortable doing either, screaming in a pillow or a good cry can help. just as long as it doesn't go on for days)

 

                               4. Dreams and Tasks

 Everyone has things in there life that they want to accomplish. I think that during something negative, a way to get motivated and feel better is to find something that you really want to work towards, and GET STARTED. If you've always wanted to be a youtuber, start now. if you've wanted to get better at dancing, take a class.

 

Ex: I really want to do good in school this year so Ive been looking at all these organizational tips, focusing on ways to get better at studying and finding videos on youtube to watch that help motivate me to reach that goal.

 

Task: List the things that you want to do or get out of life and get started on one thing. Why not now? Its a good time to focus on something positive that you can look forward too. I recommend only doing one thing at a time because you don't want to overwhelm yourself with all these goals you want to reach.

 

 

I hope these tips help you guys feel better and a little bit more motivated to being happier through a tough situation. If you would like to see more tips please let me know! I was thinking about making a video for my youtube channel about this, would you guys like that? Love you all and be happy. You only have one life to live, so make the most of it <3

New Series: Sadie's Journal Entry

This is something a little new, something I have never done before. So I keep a journal at home that I write in about things going on in my life. I thought that it would help me not only get through my struggles in life, but also help me remember many of the good things in my life. I want to share that part of my life with the world because I have nothing to hide, and also I really encourage other people to get a journal. It not only is a good stress reliever, but when you are older, you can go back and read all of the interesting things in your life, and see how your thinking maybe has changed. And if your like me and struggling with something like depression, it is a good way to get your sadness or anger out and keep you from doing regrettable things. If you have anxiety, panic attacks, or are just perfectly fine, journaling is helpful for anyone. So I don't know how long I will be doing this for, but I want to try this out and see how it goes.

Dear Journal,
Today was my first "solo" day hosting at Applebee's and let me just say it was EXTREAMLY busy!! Honestly though I liked it that way because it keeps my mind off of other things and I can really just focus on work. Everyone was very encouraging though and made me feel confident in my work which was such an amazing feeling. I'm so excited that I don't have to work tomorrow though because tomorrow is my graduation!! I can't believe how fast school went by and I am so happy that high school is over. I'm ready to start this new chapter in my life. So on a not so positive note, I have to work at Menchies tonight wahh ): Its never a good feeling to know that people are talking about me negatively. I'm NOT going to let it get to me though. I deserve better and I'm pretty sure tonight is my last night so that makes me happy. I'm just going to stick it out and then move on. So randy has been on my mind A LOT since I've moved back to Olympia. Its insane how connected I've felt to him since I've been here. I really want him to call me so we can talk, and I mean really talk.... I want me and him to work thins out like we should have in the beginning. I still feel something for him and I really hope he does for me. I don't even know if I really want to get back together with him, but I will never know until we talk. He graduated on Saturday the 8th, and today is the 13th and he still hasn't called so Idk what that really means. I'm still waiting though. The universe has given me everything I've asked for, and this is something  I want very badly so I won't give up. "I won't give up...on...us" hahaha the Jason Mraz song doesn't lie lol (: Me and randy had such an interesting history, he was my first love, and my first in many other things... heh. So I know that whatever has happened since I moved back was MEANT to happen. Everything happens for a reason. Alright well I'm gunna take a break before I go to work. Thanks for listening.

Monthly Favorites: July

 

July Favorites :)

For the Month of July, I have a couple beauty, hair, makeup, and random items that I really enjoyed!

 

 My favorites list for this month wasn't quite as long as the other months although there were still

 

many things that I liked. If you would like to see me talk about these favorites, their will be a link at

 

the bottom of this post that will lead you to my YouTube video, where I go through all these

 

favorites.

 

 For now, lets hop right in! :)

 So one of my Favorite books for the month of July was " The think about the Truth" by Lauren
Barnholdt. This was a very good read, if your into the sort of tween drama and romance type of
books. This book involved two main characters, a girl named Kelsey, and a boy named Issac who are
both new to this school called Concordia Public. They both have been kicked out of private school
which is something they have in common, and they both fall for each other early in the book. But
what's exciting is as the book goes on, both of these characters are keeping secrets from each other that could ruin everything. I recommend anyone into the teen genre to check this book out! Its right down that ally and its a book that I didn't want to put down. I literally finished it in TWO DAYS! haha

These two makeup times this month were definitely my favorite. The Neutrogena shine control primer has been extremely helpful to keep my making matte all day because I  do have very oily skin. I apply this to my face after my moisturizer and before my foundation and it has really made a huge different!

 Then down below is the Revlon Colorstay Liquid Foundation that I just started using two months ago. Before this foundation, I would only used the Covergirl liquid foundation which I had been using for 3 years. I decided to try something new, and after trying this, I have fallen in love with it so I for sure had to put this in my monthly favorites for July because I have been using this every single day.

 

 

 

 

 Alright so yes... its a little dirty but the Mad Gab's Moose balm has been a goddess for my lips! you can apply this balm to your hands, and elbows and anywhere that just needs some moisture. Well I apply this to my lips because they get chapped so easily and so badly, and this has really helped. This was actually my grandma's and ever since I started using it, my lips have really had a huge difference in them. I apply it to my lips right before I go to bed so that way when I wake up, my lips are nice and soft!

Alright so this concealer is the "Glam of Lauge" by Hard candy and I've been using this for a good 6 months.

 I apply this under my eyes because I get very bad under eye circles due to having low iron in my blood! Also I honestly don't sleep as much as I should haha. This concealer has really brightened up my eyes and made them look 10 times better (to me personally).

 

 

 

For Skin cared Products I have two favorites! The first is the Clean and Clear Finishes mattifying cleanser. Again this helps clean my face without drying it out, but helps take away some of the oils in my skin due to my oily skin. I don't used this to help take my makeup off, I will only use this when I have a bare face, so usually when I wake up in the morning or in the shower. I leave it on my face for 1 minute before washing it off because they say that's the best way to use it, and it has really helped!

The Second item is the Equate Dual power moisturizer, and I've been using this moisturizer for a couple years now and it has done a great job moisturizing my face without making it feel oily or anything.  I use this every morning after I was my face, and it has really helped my skin stay nice and soft. I love this stuff!







Alright those are just a few favorites mentioned in my July Favorites video. If you would like to see these favorites and many more, check out my video where  I talk about a various number of things I enjoyed this month. Thank you so much :)

Homemade Concert T- Shirts

So recently, I went to the One direction concert as you can see in my last blog post. It was an amazing and exciting expierence for me, but one of the things that made it so enjoyable for a girly girl like me, was the outfits. I love dressing up for things and any type of even going on, I always try to find something awesome and totally cute to wear.

 Well one of my really good friends, her name is Michaela, is amazing at crafts. She is amazing and incredible at doing hair, and desiging t-shirts and things like that. Unfortuantly I didn't get her t-shirt making process on camera for you all to see, but I thought I would write about the amazing T- shirts that she made for us to wear to the concert. I am giving her 100% full credit here because she did such an amazing job, and all by herself too!



So as you can see on the right side, it says Sadiebrooke, and then 1D in ombre glitter ( because we went to the one direction concert). All of the items used to make this shirt were purchased at Joanne's fabric although I am sure you could get any of the products at places like Walmart and Target. But to stay cheap, Joannes Fabric was a good place to go! ( we had a coupon).

Materials Used:

Black T- Shirt - Wet seal - $6.50
Fabric Glue - Joannes -  $4.00
Glitter - Joannes - $3.50

So making the shirts, what happened was she made a outline on paper of what the front and the back would look like. Then she took a piece of cardboard and stuck it inside the shirt so that it wouldn't crinkle and would have a hard service to draw on. Then she took the fabric glue and outlined the letters and then just sprinkled glitter of the top of it, and let it dry over night.
Shes so artsy and did an amazing job creating the "ombre look". I hope you enjoy and try this at home!

My First Concert !

So I just got home around 2:30 am this morning from the most exciting expierence! I went to my first concert! It was so much fun and I loved every moment of it! I woke up early yesterday morning and drove up to Seattle with two of my very good friends, and we had dinner around 5 and then waited for the Concert to start. Oh... Did I mention we saw ONE DIRECTION?? I am such a girly girl with the whole boyband thing, and I love it! So the concert started around 8 or so, and let me just tell you... it was so insanely packed with people and so loud! I have never heard that much screaming in my entire life... and I am obsessed with scary movies so you think I'd be used to it haha. When 1D (on direction) First came onto the stage, I literally couldn't breathe. I felt as if my life was insanely surreal. Mind you, I have never been to a concert before, let alone seen a famous person so I didn't know what was in store for me that night. Now if any of you remember your first concert, you might know what I am feeling! It was awesome :) Niall Horan, which was one of the members of the band was so cute and adorable and he would dance around on stage and it just made me smile...well.. and scream.... and die a little inside lol.  So then they performed a various number of songs from two of their albums "Up all night" and "Take me Home" and I was so in love the entire night. I cant describe how awesome I feel and I know I migh just be " Fan girling" right now, but it is just amazing about what kinds of things in life can make you realize how good you have it and how amazing life really is that I get these kinds of oppertunites to do things like this. So I encourage you to do something! Whatever it is that mkaes you happy, do it. Don't care what people think. You only have one life to live and you should live it to your best and fullest potential. Thanks for listening to me rant haha I will be posting a video from the concert soon! love you all ! <3

-Here's a sneak peek pic from the Concert!-

Being Happier in life

BEING HAPPY, LOVING LIFE:

I love being happy! WHO DOESNT? Being happy is something that  I feel everyone strives for! To be happier, to live life to the best of their ability, to the fullest right? Well I wanted to share with everyone 5 tips that I think will help make you feel good inside! I am not saying these will work for everyone but they have helped me feel great personally, and I have also seen other people do these things to make themselves feel good :) I have been through so many situations in my past that weren't so great, I feel like everyone has a point in their life where things are just kind of... crappy? But it DOES get better, that's what I've learned. But I've also learned that it doesn't just get better by itself, you have to WANT it and you have to work towards it :) I would expect others to make me happy and make me feel better when really it isn't up to them, its up t o me. I define what happiness is, and I can make myself happy. I made a video talking about 5 different ways to become happier in your life and if you would like to watch it, then I hope it helps anyone out there that doesn't feel like they are as happy as they want to be. Trust me, I am not the happiest person in the world, especially from having depression run in my family, being happy is surely something that I have to work at every single day, and trust me.. its NOT EASY. But you know what it is? Its worth it :) Your worth it! Life's worth it :)

Positive Affirmations + loving life!

So these last few months have been pretty wild for me and a literally made me think completely differently about my life. I got to a point in my life where things were just "okay". Now whats wrong with that you might ask? Honestly nothing at the time. Getting over a lot of sadness from the year before I got to a point where everything was just "okay". But I wanted to be HAPPY. I wanted to live my life to the fullest, be confident in myself and love everything about life! Have any of you ever strived for that feeling? Well I am on my own journey to discover myself, and make my life the best it can be and something that has really gotten me to feel good is saying positive affirmations. I like to say them in the morning and before bed to really open my eyes at how good life really is, especially on those days when I'm  feeling down or just "okay". I encourage everyone to say positive affirmations to themselves because they enhance this feeling inside you of encouragement and happiness! I LOVE it and a month later I am feeling so much better about myself. I have gotten to a point where  I feel like I don't need to say them anymore, but I want to keep doing it because I feel like it is a good habit to have!

Here are some of my favorite affirmations to say:

* I am beautiful

* I am capable of making wise decisions

* I trust myself

* I LOVE myself ( that's a big one that I say)

* Life is amazing

Any MANY MANY more.

Here is a link to the video where I talk about two things that  I made to be more positive, and where I also talk more about Positive affirmations! : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tW0MjRl4QL0&feature=c4-overview&list=UUIeI9s2MzaB7xgS8TAqhJ9g
