My 1st vlog!

The other week my friend had invitited my sister and I to go on a little beach adventure with her. We went to Ventura beach which is about an hour away from where we live. I've been to many beaches since I do live next to the coast, but Ventura is one of my favorite beaches in California because it's not as crowded as other well known beaches. They also have a place called Main St. with lots of cute litte thrift stores and shops to browse at. I decided this is the perfect opportunity to try and vlog my day at the beach! So I editited and posted a new video this morning about my trip so you should go check it out! Please like and share it! :) http://youtube.com/alliedarling137

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

Healthy Breakfast

Today I had a realization that I don't usually eat breakfast... I know! I know that is soooo bad for a person, especially an athlete.  I am not so hungry in the morning and that is why I usually skipped it, it was not intentional. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day because it increases your metabolic rate, gives you energy and helps reduce cravings. Sooooo today I decided to make myself a good healthy breakfast. The bigger the breakfast the better! The first thing that I had was some water. Water is so important! Having 2 glasses of water as soon as you wake up helps activate your internal organs. After drinking my water I served my self a cup of "real peach apple walnut multi grain cereal (quaker)" with some organic soy milk (vanilla). Then I put some hot water to boil for my tea and while waiting I made this thing called the "tummy toner", it is made out of 1 slice of wheat bread, half an avocado, black pepper, and hot sauce of your choice. After my water was finished  boiling I had a cup of gourmet cinnamon berry tea with 1tbs of organic brown sugar. With that I was ready and energized to take on the day! :)

Update

Just a real quick update, I have a bit busy today so I couldn't really post anything food or DIY related. My family is coming down to visit me tomorrow for 4th of July weekend and I have to get everything ready and organized for when they arrive. Tomorrow I will definitely post something more relevant to my blog. Hang tight! :)
