5 ways to love your self

Hello everyone so today I am going to be talking about 5 different ways to love on yourself. This is something that I think every girl and man should do. So lets jump right in and get started. ( if only you could hear me talking this out right now.)

1. Schedule time for you this is a big one just take at least 5 minuets to be with you. To regroup and just Be. I think this is important to do you don't have to go and have a entire spa day to yourself. You could sit in your room, go for a drive , or even go to the ocean and sit.

2. Listen to your compliments this is something I feel a lot of people struggle with I know I do a lot. Someone comes over and tells you "you are beautiful" or "you are a amazing person". You say thank you and move on but I think its a good thing to take that in and stop and say yes I am a beautiful or person or yeah I kind of am amazing. Take the compliment and realize it.


3. Know your limits and learn to say no this is something I feel like I struggled with for a long time. I remember this one time where I had just started working and was assisting in a salon I was there all day which I was not used to. I got a text message from a  friend of mine asking me to babysit her two kids and I battled in my break room if I should say yes or no. Finally I just said yes because I felt bad and didn't want her to not have a babysitter. That night I was so aggravated at everything because I was just simply tired. I should have said sorry no its been a long day for me I need to rest. So just stop and know what you can take and what you cant take and say NO if you have to.


4. Create a list of things you do well and read it often I love this idea. Make a list of 5 or 10 things that you do great that you are the best at. Take 20 minuets to just think about the things that your good at in every aspect of your life. This will defiantly be a confidence booster for you .

5.  Smile at everyone  this will do a lot to help you love yourself. For me when I am making others happy I make myself happy. You lift people up you lift yourself up as well. try this for a day and see what it can do for you.

Back to School outfits

Ciao my lovely readers so today we are going to be talking about back to school ! When I was in high school I always hated having to go back but the one thing I did love about going back was the shopping. I loved shopping for school clothes and putting together outfits and looking cute my first week ! So I have planned for you a week worth of outfit ideas for you all to try out. So lets get started.

Monday : Comfy But Cute

x

So its the First day and you want to look cute but you also want to look like your not trying too hard so a t-shirt dress is the perfect option. I love striped t-shirt dresses and I threw in the pink necklace to add that pop of color and to make it fun. I love love these shoes and think ankle boots are going to be awesome this fall ! And of course a back pack for all those papers you will be carrying around as well as books.

Tuesday: Boho Chic

I LOVE this outfit this is something I would wear like every day. I think that its kind of cute and casual but its still put together for school . I love the color of the shirt and the bagginess of the cardigan gives it a boho feel to the outfit. I also love the white ripped jeans and think you can defiantly wear them after labor day !

Wednesday: Comfy Casual

So I know that my the middle of the school week I am completely burnt out I am so tired and just want summer to be back. So I came up with a outfit that just lets you be comfy! leggings are my go to comfy pants. You also can never go wrong with a muscle tee just add a Bralette under and you will be good to go. I know some of you cant wear hats in school but if you can defiantly wear one it brings the outfit Together. And finish this look with a cute pair of white converse.

Thursday: Lace all the way

This outfit is so cute for a hot school day. With the lace shorts you are still put together. I love the blue necklace and that it adds color to this look. I have to say that this is one of my favorite outfits.

Friday : Dressed up Comfy

This is so cute to me! I love the color of the maxi skirt it makes the look POP. I also know sometimes you cant wear like small straps so I added in the jean vest and I think it gave this really casual vibe to look instead of being dressed up. I added the heel because I think its ok to wear a little heel to school and this one isn't that big. The thing I love about this outfit is after school you are ready to go and hang out with your friends or go on a date and you wont need to change !

So that is it for all of the first week of school outfits ! I enjoyed making these on polyvore and am definatly going to be making more fashion post with these outfit pictures ! What are some of your favorite school fashion staples ? Also which outfit was your favorite ?

I hope you all have awesome weekend and if you are going back to school or have already started school have a amazing year and make the best of it ! until next time !

Anxiety

For as long as I've known I've had anxiety whether I knew that it was anxiety or not I had it. I finally realized what it was my summer before sophomore year when I was at sleep away camp and had to have my mom come get me at 10 at night because I just simply could not stand being away from home. I would just sit and cry and it could be for no reason at all I had this feeling in my stomach as well That just would not go away. I have had a lot of things happen to me as a kid but I think my anxiety really started to get worse after loosing my aunt that summer. 

For me I had social anxiety at first. I didn't make friends easily I would avoided lunch in highschool and would keep to myself. This got a little better after I went on some medicine I could tell that I was more willing to talk to people and I wasn't having mood swings like I was before.In  my senior year I made more friends and wasn't that awkward kid sitting in the back of the room .  A lot had changed my senior year and all though my social anxiety had started to die down my other anxiety started to come out. I had stopped taking my pills towards the end and stopped seeing a counsler. There's times where I can be fine and dandy and then there can be months where I have anxiety attacks like every other day. 

Recently I have learned to rely on God for everything and that I have to rely on him for my anxiety too. God is your rock and your strength we need to use his strength to help us get through our situations. I used to worry about what would happen in the furture, I would sit up at night and obsess over certain things. It says in Matthew 6:34 "therefore do not worry about tomorrow for tomorrow will worry about itself each day has enough trouble of its own" this helps me in the fact that I just need to be in the now and let God take care of everything else. 

I was in a bible study this past week and at one point we were talkin about how in the midst of our trials and fears we need to have perfect peace. That we need to be calm when somethin doesn't go are way knowing that God will take care of it and he has a plan for our lives. 

This will be a ongoing subject I think that making awareness of anxiety is good it lets people know that they are not the only one going through this. In no ways have I fully overcome my anxiety but God is truly helping me and teaching me to cope with it and to Learn what sets me into a frenzy. I encourage you this week to pray whenever you feel anxious and to learn to trust in him. 

Including God: In work

Recently i have been thinking about a couple different things in my faith life. i have been trying hard to make sure that i put God first and include him in absolutely everything.

Lets start with bringing God into your work life. Now i feel that some work places you are not aloud to talk about God or simply people just don't want to hear it. luckily i have personally been blessed with being able to say what i believe in freely. I am also blessed with having a couple women in the salon who are strong int here faith and i feel this can help you a lot in work ! now one of the first things they tell you in cosmetology school is what to talk about and what to NOT talk about. Politics, religion and something i else that i cant seem to remember.

To me this is just a little difficult. I'm making God be every part of my life so he should be part of my work life right ? Yes ! but as i sit here writing im being reminded that you don't have to just talk to your client about your faith you can show them in your actions. the way you talk or the way you act. The last thing about bringing God into your work life is that when you are having a tough day or it is the worst day at work stop and ask God what he can do to use you in your work force. I have recently done this when frustrated and Have just been told to let it go .( cue the frozen singing ) 

I think that Faith is not Just going to church every Sunday i think that its a relationship with God. He knows you on a personal level so we need to try and know him on a personal level as well ! I challenge you to come along with me and try to know God more and more. Know who he is and what he has done and what he will do. I challenge you all to just open your bible for a bit and just read about him and talk to him! 

I  want to end this post with my favorite verse of all time which is from exodus 14:14 and it is " The lord will fight for you ; You need only be still" 

Product Review : Maybeline Matte foundation

Hello everyone so today i am going to be telling you about this new foundation that i have tried out ! so lately i have been wanting to try out a new foundation, i was in a rut i had tried one got bored went back to my old one and was still bored. so i decided to jump into it and try out the new maybelline fit me matte and pore less and i have to say i love it !

This foundation glides on very easily and gives you a nice smooth finished look.It tends to dry really fast which for thoose in a rush in your mornings can be a good thing. overall i believe that this is a good product. its not to heavy for summer and will give you a matte finished look They have many different shades to choose from and you will always be able to find your shade! Another awesome thing is that they have more products in the Fit me line. They have another foundation,a powder,stick foundation and much more ! 

I would have to say the only thing that i did not like about this product is if you have any dry spots on your face the foundation will stick to it . To make sure this doesn't really effect your foundation moisturize and prime your face before you put on this foundation . Another thing i don't like is that you have to pur the foundation out onto a sponge or your hand, I wish that there was a pump to this. 

I suggest that you run to your local cvs or rite aid and try this product out !it is amazing and will become a stapel in your everyday makeup. Whats your favorite foundation for summer ? Also what is your favorite maybelline product to use ? 

I'm back !

Hey everyone so I just wanted to let everyone know I am back and ready to kick of this blog ! I have a lot of fun things that I'm planning on doing here and can't wait to share them with you all ! So stay tuned and I will talk to you all next time !
