Friday is Valentines day so in honor of one of my favorite holidays I put together a list of things for couples to do on that day. If you don't already have plans check it out. There might be something on there that could be a lot of fun for both of you. Something you maybe haven't done yet. Because its winter time there's a lot of things that are not weather friendly to do because its so cold out. Luckily all the things on this list are all perfect to do in the winter time. Number 1. Spend the day at an arcade. Head to a Dave and Busters and spend the day with your sweetie playing video games, shooting hoops, playing air hockey, and racing cars. Have a bet going to see who can win the most tickets. Stop and eat lunch then play some more. You can even play pool or get your picture taken with the big photo booths they have there. You will have so much fun, you won't want to leave. Number 2. Head to a local winery. Spend the day wine tasting. There are even places where you can make your own wine. If you are really into wine this is the perfect date for you. Sample cheeses and crackers. Take a tour through the winery. It's a different kind of date but it's it's nice to do new things together. Number 3. One of my favorite places that I've spend the whole day and really enjoyed was at Medieval Times. It was so much fun. It was entertaining and exciting. The show was amazing and the food was really good too. They have a huge gift shop and even a dungeon of torture. You both will have a great time. Number 4. Head to the nearest aquarium. Spend the day walking through the aquarium admiring the fish and sea animals. It's a really romantic way to spend the day. Take plenty of pictures together. Every couple should visit the aquarium at least once. Number 5. New York for the day. Take the train to NY. Spend the day walking through the park. Go see a show, go shopping in all their amazing stores, take pictures together. I went to New York for the day last year with my boyfriend, and it was a great day. I had a great time and so will you. Number 6. Take off on a hot air ballon ride. I have been wanting to do this forever. I just think it would be a lot of fun and I'm so up for trying something new, something I've never done before. So why not try something new, something you've never done before. Number 7. Hit the lanes at the bowling alley. Play some games together. Give each other funny bowling names. Stop and have a drink and snack then bowl some more. It's a proven fact that doing activities bring couples closer together. Number 8. Head to a museum. You can go to the art museum, and spend the day admiring different works of art. Run up the steps of the art museum and pretend you're Rocky. It will be a day to remember. Number 9. A lot of people like to go out to dinner on Valentines day. Some people like to go the the movies. I say why not put the two together and go to a dine in move theatre? The seats are bigger, they take your order before the movie begins then bring you your food while you're watching the movie. It's a must do. Number 10. Have a game night. Order in pizza, and spend the evening play board games, card games. video games etc. this is very inexpensive and trust me you guys will have a great night. Number 11. Head to the zoo for the day. Take pictures, and visit all the different animals around the zoo. The zoo is a must do date for every couple. Number 12. Go Ice skating. Lace up the skates and take some laps around the rink together. Stop and grab some hot chocolate. This is the perfect winter date. Number 13. Casino. Try your luck at a local casino. Play the slots or even watch the races. Best of luck if you end up going there. You want to leave there a winner. There's nothing more exciting then winning lots of money. Number 14. Last but not least if you are looking to go away for the weekend head to a ski lodge. Spend the weekend skiing/snowboarding together. It's a great way to spend the holiday. Whatever you guys end up doing I hope you all have a great Valentines day together. Have fun, try something different together, and whatever you do enjoy each other. Be happy. Be in love. Happy Valentines day.:)

With Valentine's day coming up so soon I thought I'd make a little list of things for all my single gals out there. Now you may be a little bummed that you don't have a special someone this year, but don't let that stop you from having a great day. Valentines day isn't just for couples, it's a perfect day to treat yourself to things that you normally don't get the chance to do. Number 1) Go get your nails done. Whether its a mani or pedi or both its a very relaxing experience and you will leave there feeling like a hundred bucks.:) Number 2) Go out for breakfast. What a great way to start your day! Meet a friend at a local diner and order yourself a nice big meal of eggs, pancakes, bacon, hash browns, waffles, whatever you like. :) Number 3) Let the baking begin! Take out the mixers and put on your oven mitts. It's time to bake some treats. Head to your nearest grocery store and get some cupcake or cookie mix. You can give these to your friends, family or just keep them for yourself.:) Number 4) Treat yourself to a movie. You can go with your friends or even solo and see that movie you've been dying to see. Make sure to buy yourself some popcorn and soda to enjoy as you take in your choice of film.:) Number 5) Take yourself on a shopping spree. Buy yourself something new. Hit up all your favorite stores. Buy that dress you've been eyeing for weeks, or those new heels. This is your day, live a little.:) Number 6) Head to the spa. Nothing makes you feel more pampered then getting a massage/facial. You will leave there feeling beautiful and fresh.:) Number 7) Spend some time at the good old gym. Working out gives you energy and confidence. Take a class you haven't tried yet. Push yourself, but do it for you.:) Hope you all have a wonderful valentines day! Take care xoxo❤ January is such a great month because its the beginning of a new year, a fresh start, a chance to start over. I've been doing a lot of thinking about life, and about the kind of person that I wanna be. Someone asked me recently what my New Years resolutions were. Well instead of saying the usual things like I wanna lose blah blah pounds, or I wanna do this or that, I really thought about it and I realized there was a lot of things I wanted to do. But mainly I wanna be a better person. I wanna be known as a sweet, loving, caring, giving person who never said a bad thing about anyone. I wanna be classy, and have grace and not let stupid things bother me. I wanna be like Jackie O. That's the person I strive to be like. I know it's hard to keep things to yourself sometimes but it isn't impossible. When I get annoyed or mad at someone or something I try I think about other things, things that I really like and I put my energy on that instead. It also helps to write it all down on a piece of paper just to get it out then rip it up afterwards. One thing that really helps me when I'm mad is to work out while listening to loud music. It helps get the anger out plus its great for your body. These are things that can help you stay classy without keeping everything bottled up inside. I think something that should be number one on everyone's list this year is simply "BE HAPPY" being happy and positive is the key to a great life. You have the power to may any situation better simply by the way you handle it. You can either get mad, freak out, cause a scene and piss everyone off, or you can laugh it off, smile and focus your attention on something better. People are always going to try to bring you down which is why it's important to surround yourself with good people who truly care about you and love you and will have your back no matter what. Don't dream about doing things, get out there and make it happen! No matter what it is, wether you really wanna go on a vacation or maybe there's something big you wanna buy, or you wanna do something you've never done before and maybe you've put it off because of money, or because the time didn't seem right or because you were afraid to. Whatever was holding you back before don't let it hold you back anymore. Now is your time:) just go for it. Do not let anyone or anything hold you back from your dreams:) My New Years resolutions are to continue to be happy, Jackie O like, go on a vacation with my man, read more books, take more pictures, finish what I started, get another tattoo, throw more parties, drop at least another jean size, laugh more, write more, go out more, try new things, and finally enjoy every minute of it:) Hey there girlies! Tonight I'm going to talk to you about being a girlfriend and all the do's and don'ts that come along with it. Some of these things I've always known but others I had to learn through experience. I think this is very good advice for any girl who is in a relationship. Number 1. When you are first dating a guy it is normal for him to pay for most things, however it is really nice if every once in a while you offer to pay for small things here and there. Like if you guys go to a diner for breakfast, or go out for ice cream:) Number 2. When a guy takes you out to eat. Do not order the most expensive thing on the menu, nor the cheapest. Somewhere in between is good. I always order things that are usually between $10.00-$13.00, sometimes even $9.00. Number 3. When a guy takes you out to eat DO NOT I repeat DO NOT only take Like two bites and then tell the waiter you won't be taking home the rest. That's his money you are throwing away! and honestly if I was paying and someone did that I'd be pissed. Try to eat what you ordered and if you can't finish it, at least ask to take the rest home. That way he won't feel like he wasted money on food that you didn't even eat. Number 4. Remember happy girls are the prettiest. Guys don't want to be around girls who are negative or are drama queens. Don't complain, And don't talk about anyone in a bad way. I know this is hard to do because we are all human and people get on our nerves, but If you really need to vent, vent to a girlfriend not your guy. Number 5. Don't be afraid to speak your mind and share your opinions. Even though you may really like a guy, that doesn't mean you have to agree with everything he says. Guys like when you have a mind of your own and say how you feel. Number 6. Be thoughtful. Listen to him, take an interest in what he likes. Surprise him with things that he's not expecting. Like say he's really into a certain band and you found out they were playing at a place near by so you got tickets for you and him to go:) Number 7. Do little things to please him: my boyfriend loves when I wear my hair in pigtails, paint my nails red, and wear certain clothes. So I do these things every now and then just for him:) sometimes little things go a long way. Number 8. Make a good first impression with his family. I know it can be nerve-racking meeting his family for the first time, but just remember to be polite, look them in the eye, and give them a nice firm hand shake. Don't be afraid to talk to them and ask them questions. All you have to do is find something you have in common with them to help make the conversation flow. Number 9. Be fair: being in a relationship means comprising. It can't always be your way. You have to give in sometimes even if its hard. Number 10. Fight nice: it's bound to happen you guys are going to fight. When it does watch what you say. Don't call him mean names or corse, don't hit him. If you ever do get really angry with him take a minute to walk away and calm down before you freak out on him. Sometimes even adults need a time-out. I hope these tips help you out. Good luck in your relationships:) and to my walking dead fans enjoy tonight's episode:) This is my favorite time of the year, because the Holidays are coming up and there's so much to look forward to. October is a really fun month. Halloween is just around the corner, but there's lots of fun activities you can do before then to prepare you. So if you're looking for fun things to do with your friends, boyfriend, or even your family here is a list of my must do things for the month of October: hope you guys like these tips, and a great rest of the weekend!
Jealously rears its ugly head in a lot of people especially females.Everyone feels jealous at some point in their life, but this should not be an everyday habit. I understand that many of us want to improve ourselves both physically and mendally. And while doing this we compare ourselves to the person that we wanna be, or sometimes it's the person we wanna compete with. The person we wanna prove something to, the person we wanna be better than. We need to stop comparing and stop competing. Don't look at someone with envy or hatred because they are different than you. Instead we should accept and embrace the differences. Don't try to be anyone else just be who you are. Do what you love, wear what you wanna wear, don't change for anyone! What if someone else is comparing you to another girl? Stay as far away from them as possible! People like that are only going to bring you down, don't even waste a second of your time being a party to that. Remember that you can't change people, you can only change yourself and how you handle the situation. If anyone says anything to try to bring you down just laugh about it and act like you don't care even if deep down you kind of do. From what I've found out in the past is that if you act like its funny and it doesn't bother you, and they're not getting the reaction that they wanted to get out of you. They usually will drop it. Drop it like its hot lol. Ok I'm a dork but whatever you get the idea:) When I was younger I used to really look up to my one older sister. I thought that she was the shit. I thought she knew everything about everything and I wanted to be just like her. But as I got older I realized that I wasn't like her. I was me. I'm not an outgoing singer like my sister, and I'm not the super skinny girl that can eat whatever she wants and not gain an ounce while doing it. I'm not the tough girl that doesn't take any crap from anyone and that everyone's afraid of. I'm not the big party girl that loves going to the bar and drinks like a fish with a cigarette in one hand and a beer bottle in the other. I'm not the girl who shops at Hot Topic with dyed green hair who's covered in tattoos and piercings. Although there was a time when I wanted to be each one of these other girls I realized that's just not me. I'm the sweet girlie girl, who loves make up and dresses. I'm the girl who would rather stay home and read a book than to go out to a bar all night. I'm the girl who still laughs at the same movies even though I've seen them a thousand times. I'm the girl who enjoys taking classes and learning new things. I'm the girl who loves pearls and wearing white even though I'm really clumsy. I'm the girl who hates fighting so much that I'm always the first to apologize. I'm the girl that loves cooking and baking and even enjoys cleaning too. I'm the girl who hates sports. I'm the girl who gets excited over little things. That's just me:) whoever you are just be you and be happy. Even if someone doesn't like you the best revenge you can have is to just be happy in your life and not even caring about what they think or that they even exist. Hey there Readers: Today I'm going to be talking about beauty and health, and tell you some of the things I do daily to help me feel and look my best.
Now I know that there are so many different products out there for many different things. I've tried a lot of different things in the past. Some things worked great, some things were pretty much a waste of money, but I've learned what works for me so I'm going to start with what I do from inside out first. First thing I do for my skin is take pills. I had a problem with acne in the past, so my dermatologist gave me this medicine called Spironolactone. They're these little white pills that I take twice a day. I usually take 2 in the am and then 1 in the pm. I love them! They keep my skin clear, nothing has ever worked this good for my skin before. The problem I have is hormonal and in order to treat hormonal acne you need oral medication. I know first hand how horrible having acne is, because I've been there before. It affects so much of your life and the way you feel about yourself. I'm so happy that I found something that works for me, because when I look my best I feel wonderful about myself. I feel like I could do anything. Another thing I do is take vitamins. I take a one a day for women, it's actually the gummy kinds cause they taste really good. I also have been taking One Source for beauty. It's really good for your hair, skin and nails. It makes your hair stronger, your nails grow faster, and your skin healthier. I also try to drink a lot of water everyday. I drink Almond milk instead of whole milk, (whole milk is really bad for you) and I try to eat healthy overall. I mean every once in a while you have to treat yourself with a cupcake, chocolate, or ice cream, but honestly when I eat better I feel healthier, I have more energy, and I just feel great all together. I also work out 3 days a week. I work out my legs, stomach and arms. My boyfriend is really into health and working out. So he's been kind of like my personal trainer. He's shown me different exercises to do and how to do them. Sometimes we work out together which is nice. I always keep my nails looking nice and painted. Just because I feel prettier when my nails are painted. My fingers never match my toes because I like to be different. Beside I usually can't chose just one color that I like. I hope these tips will help you guys as much as they have helped me:-) Have a great rest of the weekend:-) My Lovely Readers I am almost to my one year anniversary with my boyfriend. I'm super excited because I've never had a relationship go this well like ever in my life. In fact I thought I never would. I thought I was cursed, I thought I was doomed to repeat the same cycle over and over again until the day I died.
Now I know I seem like really together and like a have this great life and everything is going my way. Some of you may even be annoyed by me always writing about how happy I am. The truth is I am really happy right now, but things weren't always like this for me. It took a long time for me to get where I am now. And it wasn't easy, or fun along the way, but I did it, because it was something that I really wanted and I wasn't giving up without a fight. You see when I was younger I was not like "The popular girl at school" In fact I don't think anyone even really noticed me back then because I was in my awkward stage where I basically looked the worst I ever had in my entire life. I didn't even have my first boyfriend until I was 20 years old. It was weird because I was so used to being the girl that no one really ever paid attention to, to all the sudden guys were starting to come up to me. They were interested in me! And I liked it. My first boyfriend was a nice and decent guy, but we were so different in so many ways, and there was certain things about him that I knew I couldn't live with forever. So after about 7 months of dating I ended our relationship. I felt bad because he was really crushed, but I was ready to move on. My plan was to be by myself for a little bit, and take my time before I jumped into another relationship, but that's not how things went. I met my second boyfriend like 2 weeks after I broke up with the first one. He seemed like a really nice guy at first. On the outside he was super handsome, and had a really nice body. He was the kind of guy that made all the girl's heads turn, but on the inside he was really selfish, and mean. He treated me really badly. I saw him lose his temper really easily and he really scared me. I should have left him right away, as soon as I saw his bad side, but I was afraid of him, I was afraid for my life. Anyways he ended up cheating on me after 6 months of dating each other, and to be honest with you I wasn't even that upset about it. In fact I was relieved. I finally could break up with him, and be done with him for good. The one boyfriend I had I kind of got tricked into going out with. Let me explain: You see I was out one night with a bunch of people and this friend of a friend told me that his friend was going to a wedding and needed a date. I had no idea who the guy was or what he even looked like, but being the nice person that I am I agreed to go. I thought it was just going to be a one time thing for the wedding and that was it. He was really unattractive, Not my type at all, and he was like 9 years older then me. I shouldn't have gone out with him in the first place. I guess at the time I thought maybe I could grow to love him. (HUGE MISTAKE!) He wasn't a great boyfriend either. The one guy I dated who was the worst of them all, I'm not even going to get into because he is not even worth talking about. He was a liar, a manipulator, my whole family hated him, and let's just say that I am so happy that he is no longer a part of my life, and leave it at that. I met another boyfriend online. I only dated him for 2 months and 2 weeks. I fell really hard for him. He was like the male version of me. We had so much in common it was insane. I thought he felt the same way about me, but then he dumped me out of no where, and I was upset about it for a really long time. After going through all the bullshit from these other guys I was really discouraged. I was also fearful of meeting someone else. I was single for over a year. I grew a lot in that year. I went to classes, worked out, finished school, got a new job, went out with my friends, read a lot of books, and at the end of that year I got a message on Okcupid from a boy named Kevin. AKA My current boyfriend:-) And ever since then everything has gotten better and better for me, but it was only after going through a lot of pain and satisfice. Sometimes you have to go through some pain and satisfice to get what you really want. Sometimes you have to wait a long time before anything seems to happen. Sometimes you have to make mistakes so that you can learn from them and do better in the future. Sometimes you have to go through shit and be treated badly to become a stronger person. I guess what I'm trying to say here is that if you are having a hard time finding the right guy: Hang in there! I know it's easier said then done, but don't give up! I thought I was never going to meet anyone. I just thought that there wasn't a guy out there for me, but then something wonderful and unexpected happened. I know how you feel because I have been where you are. If you are single right now, don't sit alone in your room and feel sorry for yourself! Go out and have fun! Have a girl's night out, go shopping, do something that you enjoy doing. Just live your life, and before you know it you will find him:-) My Beautiful Readers: Tonight I'm going to be talking about something that I feel very strongly about. People who talk about you behind your back. Now I don't care how nice you are, or how pretty you are people are going to talk about you in a negative way and there's nothing you can do to stop them. You can't change people or how they think, or what they do. You can only change yourself and how you handle the situation. You may wonder why people are even talking badly about you in the first place, especially when you know you are a nice person, and haven't done anyway to them to give them a reason to say anything anyway. The answer to this question is simple: When a person feels the need to talk badly about someone for no reason it's usually because they are jealous of them in some way. If someone is talking trash about you they either want to be you, want something you have, think you have a better life than they do, or feel threaten by you in some way. Now I know what you're thinking, because everyone gossips all the time, but that doesn't always mean that they are jealous. It is one thing to say something about how a person treated you, if they were mean or rude to you for no reason at all. Like for example if you went to get your blood taken and the girl that worked there was really unprofessional, and rude to you the whole time, so you decided to tell your friends and family about it to warn them not to go there. Or if you know someone who is a friend of a friend and every time you see them they have to say something condescending to you. So when they finally leave you're all "What the Hell is their problem?" That's different, I'm talking about people who are nice, and give you no reason to say anything bad, but still get talked about- That's when you know it's jealousy. Just remember: Just because someone says something mean about you- that doesn't make it true! People feel bad about themselves and they don't want you to be happy, so they try to bring you down too. All you have to do is be happy and don't worry about them or what they think. Act like you don't even care, even if you do care fake it until you don't have to fake it anymore:-) Life is too short to worry about stupid high school drama. Some times you just got to be the bigger person and let things go. Hello my readers:) It's me again, and this blog is all about moving and how to get ready for a move. I am moving in with my boyfriend in about 2 and 1/2 weeks and there's still a lot of stuff that I have to do. So far we have picked out the apartment that we wanted, filled out the application to get it, paid the security deposit, gone furniture shopping, made a list of everything that we needed, got a ton of boxes, and started to pack some stuff already.
The important thing is to not wait to do everything at the last minute. We still have to call about the cable/internet bill, figure out when to get the furniture delivered, get our address changed on everything, and finish packing up our stuff. It's a lot but here are some tips to help it go a little easier: #1. Start early! Do not put everything off until the last minute. Start packing some things that you don't need to use on a day to day basis. For example I have already packed up all my movies, winter clothes, books, and old birthday/holiday cards that people have giving me that I just can't seem to throw away. #2. Do not take anything you really aren't going to use or need! Ok it is one thing to bring along things that are meaningful to you like pictures, and cards, and yearbooks etc... but don't go crazy! Try to keep those things to just one tiny box, label it 'Memories' and keep it in a closet. If you bring too much stuff with you, your new place may look like there's too much clutter around, and you don't want that. #3. Throw a lot of things away! This part isn't easy, but it must be done. It's time to go through everything that you own and decide what comes with you, what you want to give away, and what you want to throw away. I have gone through my stuff several times and I throw more, and more stuff away every time. I give a lot away too. All my clothes or shoes that I no longer want, or just don't really wear anymore, but are still in decent condition I always donate them. #4 Get Organized! Go through everything. Make sure every box is labeled correctly, and pack things away in a neat order so that when you unpack them it's not like you are going through a ton of boxes to try to find one thing. Hope these tips will help anyone who will be moving out soon. Thanks for reading :- |
