Things to Do When You Are Bored

My entire life I have said I was bored at least 10 billion times.  In all reality you should never be bored especially growing up in a world where you can access a lot of things you wouldn't have been able to, let's say 15 years ago.  When I was younger if I was bored I went outside and kicked a soccer ball or jumped on the trampoline, but in today's generation I don't know if anyone really does that anymore, which is kind of sad to me. So before I go on a rant, here are 10 things to do when you are bored: Go Outside , like go on a hike or even just sit outside and drink some coffee, you would be surprised how relaxing being outside is ! Reorganize Something , I don't know about you, but I love to reorganize things (but not clean!), whether it be your closet or even just your desk ! Create New Outfits , sit down in front of your closet and just start thinking about what you think will go together and you could even look for inspiration on Pinterest or Instagr...

Thrifting is the Bomb.Com

Image
When the New Year comes around most people want to clean out their closets and make room for new clothes, but don't want to have to empty your wallet in the process.  Most people today use Vinted , which is an app that lets you sell your clothes and I think is an amazing app, but I don't have time to take the pictures and post it, as well as wait for someone to buy my clothes.  The next best thing is to give away your clothes to a Second-Hand store, like Goodwill !  You're not only making room for new clothes, but also helping someone out.  This entire post is about thrifting and all the amazing things it brings !  THRIFTING & The Benefits: Thrifting is super cheap , depending on where you go, but it will almost definitely be cheaper than if you were to buy from the department store. If you end up not liking the clothing item, it won't cost you as much to get rid of, for example if you had a $100 Shirt vs a $3.00 Shirt ! You can find...

Since it's the start of a great year, I thought that it would be a good idea to have some things to follow by.  I am not the best person when it comes to sticking to a routine, but these are a couple ideas I want to see if I can stick with: Drink More Water Make Your Bed Every Morning Give Yourself at Least 30 Minutes Keep a Planner (Write down all your homework and it makes you feel less stressed ) Wake Up and Go to Sleep at the Same Time Every Day Do Something that You Love  Read More Clean Out Your Room Spend Less Time on Your Phone ( Mainly Social Media )  Keep Up with All of Your Homework Focus on Yourself , Instead of the People Around You Don't Be Afraid to Stand Up for Yourself  This is a very short and quick blog post, but I thought it would be something I wanted to share to you guys and maybe inspire you !  All of these simple ideas are really easy to do and if you forget don't give up and start as soon as you remember ! There is...

Confidence

I think that confidence comes from trusting and believing in yourself.  These two things I lack in, a lot, but I'm working on it to a point where I can be in a situation and think that everything will turn out okay.  The place where people go wrong is that they think that confidence comes from being beautiful, but I honestly don't belive that at all, you could be wearing a gorgeous dress and have your makeup looking flawless, but you could feel like you don't belong or you shouldn't be wearing that type of outfit because you don't belive it or trust it.  This might not make sense to some, but for the few people out there it could change perspectives.  An example would be a professional athlete, they train for years for something and they know and trust themselves enough to say that they can win or they can do this, if they didn't think that they could do it or they thought that they weren't qualified enough, they would never be at the point they are at.  Thi...

My Top Ten Favorite Makeup Products of 2015

Since about a couple of years ago, I have really been interested by makeup and it's not really something that I need or is something that I feel I absolutely must have, but it is something that gives me that little extra confidence boost that I need throughout the day.  Ever since those couple of years I have found that there are certain products that I enjoy using more than others.  Most of these are Drugstore makeup brands, there might be one or two that are not.  Without further adieu these are my favorite make up products: (this is not sponsored in any way) Maybelline New York's Fit Me ! Foundation, Matte & Poreless in the shade 125 Nude Beige. (this product is by far my favorite and most used foundation that I have and used before, it goes on really smoothly and is easy to blend out.) Maybelline New York's Master Glaze by FaceStudio Blush Stick in the shade Pink Fever 20. (This is a fantastic blush and the pigment is very pretty, especially for the winter a...

7 Days of Christmas Countdown Craft

Image
Every year I feel as though Christmas comes faster and I always have so much I want to do before it arrives.  I decided that on this Friday the 18th I would make 7 note cards and put them in a mason jar and take one out every day until Christmas Day. On these note cards are Christmas themed things to do. So here are my 7 things to do before Christmas ( these are extremely basic, but I thought it would be fun to do) : Paint your nails C h r i s t m a s Colors Write a note to each family member why you are thankful for them Do holiday make-up for the day Dress in your best Christmas Sweater or outfit Watch a Christmas movie Do a Christmas Craft Bake a Christmas dessert This is a really quick and easy thing to do and you can use things from around your house to make it.  Another idea would be to make a 25 Day version starting December 1st.  You do not need to use a mason jar either, you could use an old shoe box and decorate it how you wish or even a b...

Time management is something that you learn from experience.  I'm still pretty young and haven't quite mastered the skill yet, actually I am procrastinating on some of my homework as I type this.  What I wanted to share with you today are some of my tips on staying on track and getting work done !  Being a teenager means a lot of stress and gaining new responsibilities, some people deal with this better than others.
