Girls Night!

It's only Monday and most people wouldn't even think
 of hosting a sleepover but hey it's summer!
It is a great time to have all you friends come over,
whether on the weekend or during the weekdays.
 Take this time and opportunity to create fun adventures and
 new memories that will hopefully last a lifetime! :)
Here are some sleepover essential must haves.
As a disclaimer,
 these are just examples
 and can be altered for your preference and desires. 

Never forget to go out and buy some of your
favorite snacks and drinks. Whether it be sweet or salty,
you can never go wrong having snacks at a sleepover! 

Having facials or makeovers might be my favorite part of
a sleepover. It doesn't even have to be perfect! It can be for silly
challenges or for instagram selfies!

You can set up a bed or make a fortress! Anywhere so you can
have a place to crash if you get tired. It's also a nice to place
to have your girly conversations or pillow fights. :)

Romance, horror, action and etc. The next part is picking a
movie that you will enjoy.

If you can't find a movie that you like from your DVD
collection, you can never go wrong with Netflix!
It has a whole bunch of movie selections you can pick from.

Here is my younger sister picking our first movie that we'll be
watching tonight on Netflix. :)

Once you have selected a movie, you pop the popcorn and get
out all your snacks. Sit back, relax, and enjoy! :D

Tea Thursday

“After a fairly shaky start to the day, Arthur's mind was beginning to reassemble itself from the shell-shocked fragments the previous day had left him with.

He had found a Nutri-Matic machine which had provided him with a plastic cup filled with a liquid that was almost, but not quite, entirely unlike tea.
The way it functioned was very interesting. When the Drink button was pressed it made an instant but highly detailed examination of the subject's taste buds, a spectroscopic analysis of the subject's metabolism and then sent tiny experimental signals down the neural pathways to the taste centers of the subject's brain to see what was likely to go down well. However, no one knew quite why it did this because it invariably delivered a cupful of liquid that was almost, but not quite, entirely unlike tea.”

Morning Routine

My morning routine usually starts with brushing my teeth because
good hygiene is important. :)
                                     

Don't forget water! It's important!

Then I make myself some healthy breakfast to help start up my metabolism and give me energy for the day! 

I recently purchased some new candles seeing that I love
candles... ALOT! (Mainstays: Sweet Pea and Golden Amber)

Then I did some yoga and meditation in the living room for 30 min. to help warm up my body and give me peace of mind.  It frees my awareness to where I can access my inner calm whenever I need to. Music is a great to
put on while meditating, it helps with concentration (preferably calm and soothing music) 

After stretching and meditating I have nice bowl of lowfat yogurt (vanilla), Quaker oats, cinnamon, blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries. Which concludes my morning routine and I am ready to take on the day! :D

They have created their packaging with recyclable and biodegradable products to "limit our impact on the environment". These past few days I have been trying out some of their products to see if they would live up to the praise have been given through multiple sources, and I can say that I can totally agree with them that LUSH is in fact one of the best cosmetic companies I have invested in.

even out skin tone.

cocoa butter, roseship oil, etc. leaves the skin with a sweet
smell and silky skin.

Here we have Imperialis which is another favorite product of
mine. It is a facial moisturizer that helps skin stay in balance.
This product contains tiger lily, cocoa butter, orange flower, etc.
The second product is Mint Julips which is lip scrub made out of
cold pressed organic castor sugar, vanilla extract, and
peppermint oil that leaves your lips smooth and kissable. ;)

This is Buffy, a body butter and a " feel-good exfoliation"
made out of shea butter, lemon peel oil, sweet almond and rice
buffs away dry dead skin for a more softer appeal

                                                       

These three products are bath bombs that each come with different types of  scents, colors, and surprises. The first one on the far left is called Tisty Tosty. It comes with rose absolute, citric acid, and lemon peel oil. It is also known as the love potion. ;) The second bath bomb on the far right is called Twilight. It is made out of lavender, tonka absolute, etc. gives a vison of the night sky in your bath tube. Last but not least is the Sex Bomb made out of jasmine absolute, soybean oil, and soy milk; is known to set the mood. ;) I haven't tried that one only because I had gotten if for one of my sister as a gift. haha

Tea Thursday

Posting a bit earlier because I have an early start to a busy and fun day. I'll be at Six Flags! :D so here is this weeks "Tea Thursday" and words of wisdom...

“When tea becomes ritual, it takes its place at the heart of our ability to see greatness in small things. Where is beauty to be found? In great things that, like everything else, are doomed to die, or in small things that aspire to nothing, yet know how to set a jewel of infinity in a single moment?”

Monday Zzzz...

Monday... when it's the weekend and you hear someone mention Monday. You get a sinking feeling at the pit of your stomach. Monday is that day of the week where everyong gets up super early to go to work and get things finished. It is the sign that the week is begining all over again. Everyone has to wake up at the crack of dawn for at least the next 5 days and bury themselves in responsibilties. Some people have it easy and some people dont, but the point is that the majority of the people DREAD Mondays. There are mutiple ways of getting over that and looking at the more positive side. Today I didn't feel like doing anything at all, but just like all of you I have responsibilties to take care of throughout the week. Here are 7 tips on helping get over the Monday Blues that I've learned or read is

1.) Try to avoid work on the weekends. The weekend is a time to relax and enjoy yourself. Finish everything you're supposed to do before the weekend so you don't have to stress during the weekend about getting things done before Monday.

2.) Accept the Monday blues because if you don't it ony make the situation worse. It will only exhaust you further and we don't need that.

3.) Start your Monday on the right side! Wake up ealier than usual so you don't have to be in a hurry, take a nice cold shower to help wake you up, have a cup of your choise of beverage (tea, coffee, milk, juice, or lemon in water).

4.)  Dress up! Baggy clothes like sweats and hoodies does not with your confidence to get through the day. Instead dress light and energetic so you can give  a better vibe from yourself

5.) Be social! Engaging into a conversation in the morning helps the brain into waking up for the day. It needs a warm-up before it starts wokring.

6.) Be Positive! Get in the mode! Pump yourself up like listening to your favorite song or working out before work.

7.) Make someone's day. Doing something nice for someone can definitely lift up not only the person your helping spirits, but yours as well!

I hope that these tips and advice will help cure those with the Monday Blues and give them something to look foward to instead of wanting to avoid. :)
