Thought For the Day

Some much needed Info.

I've been thinking lately about how opinionated we all are. This needs to stop. Constantly putting your own opinions and ideals on others is rude and accomplishes nothing good. I'm tired of shallow conversations. " She does NOT have the legs to wear those shorts!" "wow. That hair color looks awful on her." "You should smile more. You look depressed" "You look so tired! Are you sick?"

Please, I beg you. Stop saying these types of things. It's wonderful to have style and personalities and differences. It's what makes us human! But belittling and forcing your opinions on others just because you don't like the way they dress or wear their hair is so silly and is not acceptable. If someone is wearing something that makes them feel good and happy, let them wear it. If someone looks depressed...guess what.. they probably are! Or maybe they're just having a bad day. Instead of forcing them to be fake and project a life that is perfect and totally unrealistic, encourage them, tell them something good and kind. And instead of telling someone they look tired, take them out to coffee and ask them how they're doing.

I'm trying very hard to switch my mindset on the lives of others. Simple things like a hair color or a choice of clothing, has nothing to do with me. So there is absolutely no reason for me to tell them how to dress or make rude comments behind there back. None of us is perfect, it's time we start accepting and embracing that.

Yuck Yuck

I decided to be super brave and try this out... I've read in different places and heard from so many people about the benefits of drinking about two tablespoons of organic apple cider vinegar before each meal. I've only managed to do it twice so far this week because wow it's so gross. But everyone who's done it raves about it! So I'm going to do my best...I'll do a follow up post after I've been consistent with it!

To read up on the science behind it, here are some links! :)

Tired but Proud

Feeling really proud of myself...and also uber stressed at the same time. I'm almost finished with school and my job. I can't believe I managed to do all of this and be busy from 7:00 in the morning till 8:00 at night, when 4 months ago I could barely make it out of bed a good part of the time. I also ran a huge distance today which is so huge for me... I'm just feeling really thankful that I've had good enough health to do the important things and to be able to feel proud of myself again... There's definitely been some set backs and disappointments, but I'm still alive and finishing this chapter pretty strong- praise God!:)

   I'm really excited to share some other news with you all...I'll try to share/post later this weekend. :)

Update

Hello lovelies! I apologize for disappearing for so long. I started college again a few months ago and am working and have been very stressed! But I have many things to write about now and some awesome things to share! :)

I just have time for a brief check in today, but I also have a question for you all.I went to a new doctor and got a lot of blood tests done. One of them came back and told me that I tested negative for Celiac disease. I was bummed to find this out because I really want to know what is causing me to have such bad stomach pain every time I eat. I don't eat any of the things I know upset me ( Gluten, coffee, dairy, oats, quinoa, beans etc...) But I'm still in pain. I'm starting a new diet today and eating as raw as I can and cutting out all processed and sugar products. hoping this will help m to feel better. Do any of you suffer from this? Any suggestions?

Heatless Hair Tutorial

I tried this out last week and have already used it several times! I absolutely love it because it gives you gorgeous beachy curls and its it's heatless so it's great if you're trying to grow you hair out or just keep it healthy.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bsGuWokn47A&list=PLl4LeDTbiGlg1rYhFGAnhIhmEbHbAMygl&index=21   

Here's a pic of the girls hair who gives the tutorial. :)

Lip Gloss Product Review

I have a new lip product that I am SO excited to share with you all! It's from the brand Sonia Kashuk. I haven't seen this line any where besides Target but I was curious to see how well they worked, so I grabbed the lip gloss and ohmuhgoodness. It's so pigmented and lovely! I've been so frustrated lately with lipsticks and glosses that hold no real pigment! SO definitely try this one. It last so long and the color is so great! This one is about $8.00. And I got mine (in the pic below) in the color Modern Mauve.

Love you, you gorgeous gloss.
