Lets Light Up The Night!

Lets Light Up The Night:

Let's start decorating.

Being in college its so important to have a room that reflects your personality.  Your personality can be reflected through the small detail of a room.  It can be something as simple as a color, a decoration, or a light. This one thing can make your personality shine all throughout your room, dorm, or house. I am always encouraging others to let their personality shine wherever they are.  

So lets talk.

Does your home or room reflect you? Does it not? Do you want it to? Well lets do this. Get up right now and walk around and find one thing that reflects you. Go on. Did you find something? Now ask yourself: How do you use this item in your home to make your personality shine? 

I want to challenge you to really put some thought into this, this week try and find that one item. It can be anything.

Heres mine:

These lights are me.

I love to shine, and be a light. 

I always try to make other peoples day brighter

They're famine, cute, and fun to decorate with. 

At night when Im watching a movie I love to turn them on.

These lights reflect me in many ways, they make me smile each time they are turned on. I got these lights from an amazing Esty Shop called UPGrade1 They have so many adorable unique lights I'm obsessed with! 

Find Your Light!

Feel Comfortable All Day!

Feel Comfortable All Day:

We have enough reasons to feel uncomfortable in life, especially us women.  I am just gonna shoot straight with you ladies, its tough having periods, then dealing with our bodies changing while being pregnant, not to mention birth... your bladder is never the same. At this point "comfort" is a large T-shirt and sweat pants, but why should this be our only comfort?

Well no worries, with Depend Silhouette Active Fit you can continue with your everyday life activities without letting those annoying leaks hold you back. They are easily hidden under your clothes and super comfortable.

Be comfortable with Depend Silhouette Active Fit!

How to Take Care of Yourself when Sick!

How to Take Care of Yourself When Sick:

No one likes being sick, you never hear someone say "Ohh Yay I'm sick!" Its horrible and miserable and all you want is your mommy to come and comfort you through it.  But let's get real you can't always have your mom there to help, especially after high school.  At some point in your life you will find yourself by yourself while being sick.

So Lets Take Care of Ourselves:
Here are a few helpful tips I have found that really help when taking care of yourself. 
1.  First off Prioritize what is essential to get done.  I know that when I'm sick sometimes its impossible to do everything I want to do. Therefore I have to pick what is most important between hanging out with friends or getting my class project done. 

2.  Second let your body rest! Rest is the most important thing that your body needs to get better.  So make sure you find time to take naps during the day.

3.  Take nice hot showers/baths. This can help relax the body and kill possible germs.  It can also loosen up mucus. 

4.  Make sure you are staying hydrated, drink lots of water and juices.  Try to find sugar free juice because you want to stay away from sugary things.

5.  Feed a cold starve a fever, we have all heard it and need to obey it.  Soup is my favorite thing to eat when sick and its so easy to make. You can do one of two things, you can either buy the can and easily pop it in the microwave for a minute then done. Or you can get fancy and make your own in a crock pot. 

6.  Obviously take your meds.  These can be found at your nearest Walmart/Target/CVS/Walgreens. 

7.  Lay in bed and watch every movie you own,  or my favorite... Netflix. Have your box of tissues next to you and just take it easy.

8.  If your illness is worse than the common cold see a doctor and seek further instruction. 

Hope you feel better!

Relax a little!

Relax a Little:

I can't wait to share with you today this new product I am obsessed with.  Its called "Relaxation Roll On" Its this amazing essential oil made by theHERBALcache.

I use this every night right before I go to sleep, I prefer to roll it on the bottom of my feet opposed to the back of my neck.  I prefer that due to my long hair, my boyfriend however ( who also LOVES this) prefers it on his neck. I have noticed that it causes me to be more relaxed as I sleep and gives me better rest.

Every day we are faced with work or school, and things that need to be done, and this can be very stressful at times.  Its so important that we don't lose our heads over these moments and that we remain calm and professional. 

That is why...

I highly recommend buying this product if you have problems relaxing, being stressed and or sleeping. It may not be a product for sleeping but when better to be relaxed?

Reasons to be Active!

Reasons to be Active:

No matter what your age or physical shape, there is rarely a reason to NOT go outside. Ill be honest, I went through a phase where I wasn't a fan of going outside and being active.  Luckily I got out of that phase when I came to college. 

Here is what helped me... First off here in Auburn there are so many great parks that each serve a different purpose. One is great to take your dogs to play, another is more private and has more of a garden feel, and the other is a state park with hiking and biking trails, waterfalls, creeks, ponds, etc. 

Not to mention we have a beautiful campus that has places to play football, soccer, disc golf, frisbee, baseball, basketball, etc.

When it comes to Auburn, you really do not a reason to stay inside and do nothing. 

So why do it? Why get out? Why be active?

Well, heres the obvious answer... its healthy for you...-__- #boring

Its fun!

Use your eno!

Builds relationships!

A learning experience!

Watch yourself progress!

Show off your cute new water bottle!

My favorite is facing my fears of heights!

An excuse to wear those workout clothes you don't use!

Are you ready to be active yet?

Hoped You Enjoyed!

Let's DIY!

Let's DIY:

If there is one thing you should know about me, it is WINGS.

I don't just love wings, it was always a dream of mine to have a pair of wings growing up...Well and still today. 

I get excited over anything that has wings on it!

So... me being the crafter, decorator, wing lover I am, I got to work.

I had so much making these wings. It made me want to make a thousand more. I hate that I lost my photos of the process of making them but Ill just tell you what I did.

These wings are made out of cardboard. I cut out the shape that I wanted them to be, then I started on cutting out the shapes of the feathers.  I started at the bottom which was the long feathers and made sure that they followed the shape. Then I cut out my smaller feathers that were all sorts of shapes.  I hot glued them down as where I wanted them. Then I spay painted them Gold and touched them up with some white paint and a brush.

And Ta Da I have my wings!

Hope You Enjoyed!

Valentines has always been a fun time for me, I actually have never had a boyfriend during this time until this year. I make this day a day that I get to tell everyone I love just that!

The HERBAL Cache:
This one is for the gal that cares about her health and loves organic  products.
The dream of Herbal Cache is that "A few years ago, I started planting herbs so I could have them fresh for cooking with. I started reading more and more about them and learned they have medicinal purposes, along with other plants in the neighborhood. It fascinated me and I wanted to learn more about how I could improve and maintain my health and those I love.
Today I'm passing along the information I've learned and am still learning, so that you may also be able to own the balance of your health and those around you.
I make all my products with plants I've grown, harvested, foraged or purchased locally, when I can. I purchase from trustworthy places, such as Mountain Rose Herbs, and from local food co-ops." 

-Pam Broekemeier 

I got the relaxation roll on and I can't even begin to tell you how much I love it.  I almost regret sharing it with friends because they've all had a fit over it as well.
