Glimpse of Being a Mom

Image
The "simple"job of babysitting everyday for the last two months has taught me more about myself, kids, and my future more than I would have imagined... My patience has been tested, I have finished some days feeling sooo drained, but I have also been loved and felt so much love for a child. I would like to express the lessons I have learned from keeping an 18 month-old little rascal of a boy. 1. With kids, nothing is simple. Well that's probably obvious you say, but a lot of people never put this into consideration before having kids. - You can't simply run to Walmart for some milk. Because that would require getting the child dressed and ready, with all their stuff (sippie cup, toy, diaper bag), fighting to get them buckled in a carseat and keeping them from running away in the store. And keeping them from crying in the store or constantly saying "bye-bye" - You can't simply go out to eat for a burger. Because you're trying ...

My 3 Day Juice Cleanse!!

Image
Hey ya'll! So for a good while now, the fitness/health craze has been all about the "cleanse". I've seen some of the craziest ones, that in no way would cleanse your system. But I decided to do one that really works!! Continue reading to find out how I lost 2 pounds in just 3 days! Ok so I actually bought these juices from a lady that has a juicer and makes them for people! They were fairly expensive ($12 a piece) for 30 oz. bottles. But she uses all kinds of  organic  vegetables and fruits that can be costly, plus the time she puts into making them. So I took this picture after I poured the orange for day one (rolls eyes at myself). My plan was to drink only this juice for 3 days to give myself a total reset from all the processed, fake sugar I'd been consuming and also uptake on the nutrients I needed more of from fruits and vegetables. Day 1 So I started off with the orange one. I don't know her exact recipe, but I can tell you, this...

My Palette Reviews! (Urban decay, Anastasia BH, Morphe,etc)

Image
Hey ya'll! I decided to do a review on all my makeup palettes because most of them I've had for a long time and know exactly what they are good for, pros, and cons!! 1.   Anastasia Beverly Hills Contour Kit (powder light to medium) PROS                                         This is a nice palette. I've had it for a little over a year and it is still not completely used up. The yellowish color is great for combatting purple or dark eyes/under-eyes. I usually just mix all the brown contour colors when applying them because I don't prefer one over the others. If you are a beginner at contour and highlighting this is a good palette for you! CONS The product is not hard to apply but I don't find it very creamy, yes it is a powder, but it could still be a little more of a creamier consistency. The top right color is a highlight but I don't think it's great....

Is Lululemon Worth the Money?

Image
Hey ya'll! So if you haven't heard of lululemon Athletica I'm going to tell you all about it and my personal review on the products! History (directly from their website) OUR VISION Founded by Chip Wilson in Vancouver, Canada in 1998, lululemon is a yoga-inspired, technical athletic apparel company for women and men.What started as a design studio by day and yoga studio by night soon became a standalone store in November of 2000 on West 4th Avenue in Vancouver’s Kitsilano neighbourhood. Our vision for our store was to create more than a place where people could get gear to sweat in, we wanted to create a community hub where people could learn and discuss the physical aspects of healthy living, mindfulness and living a life of possibility. It was also important for us to create real relationships with our guests and understand what they were passionate about, how they liked to sweat and help them celebrate their goals. Today, we do this in our stores around the glo...

Does Social Media Cause Depression?

Image
2018 is upon us. And in this day in time a major aspect of our daily lives consist of social media! Whether you're an addict to Instagram Facebook Snapchat Twitter Pinterest all of them can affect your mental health and deprive you of overall happiness. Here's how: 1. F.O.M.O. I have this problem soooo bad! Fear of missing out!! When watching stories on snapchat of my friends having fun at an event I couldn't or didn't attend, I instantly get jealous and feel as whatever I'm doing in that moment isn't as great. But we should not live life in a fear or subconsciously worrying about what others are doing all the time. Because if we are always thinking that other people are living better than us we will not be able to freely experience the great things in our own life which can lead to depression.  2.  Judging others Everyone is guilty of forwarding a snapchat story or screenshotting someone else's post and sending to a frien...
