HOW TO PRACTICE POSITIVITY | 02.10.16

Hey guys!  Today on my YouTube channel I uploaded a new video talking all about the ways I try to stay positive during negative moments.  Being positive is difficult thing to be and no one is expected to be optimistic all day everyday, everyone has their down days and that’s completely okay!  You can click here to watch my video.  Give it a thumbs up and comment that you came from my blog!!  That would be awesome!


I hope you all enjoy!  What are somethings you do that helps you stay positive during rough times?  I’d love to know!

INFATUATED WITH THE MOON || 12.13.15

One of my favorite quotes, which I have shared in a previous post is:

there was a reason

that she was so

romantic about

the moon.

it never asked her

questions or begged

for the answers nor

did she ever have

to prove herself

to it.

it was always just

there- breathing

shining,

in ways most

humans can’t understand,

-listening.

- Christopher Poindexter

I’ve always been the person who shouts “look at the moon!” when we’re outside at night.  You’ll always find me capturing photos at night, knowing what time the moon is going to rise and what phase it’s going to be.  There’s something awfully beautiful about it.  Here’s some photos I’ve caught of it over the past few months.  Enjoy.

I watched the moon rise this night.  It looked so large and amazing.  This was the best picture I could get since the power lines were in the way.

This is one of my favorite pictures of the moon that I’ve captured.  I call it ‘between the trees'

12.27.14 - CHRISTMAS

I hope everyone had a great Christmas! (or whatever you celebrate)  I had a great Christmas with my family.  We don’t go all out for Christmas, but we always do such a big breakfast after opening presents.  This year my mom found new recipes, a french toast dish and an egg dish.  I only had (literally half) the french toast, I wish I could wake up everyday eat that french toast it was so delicious.  I will add a post including that recipe soon.  I got so many great things for Christmas, the most exciting part for me is the stocking.  My parents always find so many little neat things to stuff in there, but it’s all useful, which I love.  This year I didn’t really ask for anything, so everything I got was such a surprise.  I’d like to share with you my two favorite things I got and include a little review on them, even though I’ve only been using them a couple days, it shows how much I love them! So, here we go!

First lets talk about my Starbucks travel mug!  I’m pretty sure it’s from their holiday dot collection, but I’m not entirely sure.  My dad totally surprised me with this.  I have a unhealthy addiction to Starbucks.  The mug really keeps your drink nice and warm, it’s pretty, and it holds a lot.  I’m so happy I got one, there’s so many different patterns and I do believe it was on sale. (so it was under $20)  It was a perfect gift, I’m always drinking coffee or tea on the go - so now I can do it in style.

Second, my clarisonic.  The smile on my face when I opened this was ridiculous.  I’ve been wanting one of these, but haven’t got the courage to spend my own money on it.  I’ve used this maybe 5 times and the difference in my skin already is crazy.  It’s super soft and I can see it helping with my acne.  I wouldn’t say I have bad acne, but I at least have 1 pimple on my face and when that time of the month comes, it’s a horrible week.  I’m hoping this helps tone it down a bit.  So far I’m so impressed with it and it makes me excited to wash my face everyday.  I recommend this to everybody, acne prone skin or not.  It’ll make your skin so smooth and soft you’ll fall in love with it.

What did you get for Christmas?  Did you get a Starbucks mug or a clarisonic?  How do you like it?  Let me know what you think in the comments below!

12.03.14 - photos!

Though I'm no professional, I do enjoy taking my camera out and luckily I capture a few great pictures.  I have an odd obsession with the moon.  I love studying it, watching it, learning new things about it.  One night I was driving home and I was watching the moon rise, that sounds weird.  I was watching it and I couldn't help but think how big it looked.  I couldn't wait to hurry home to get some awesome pictures of it.  Unfortunately I didn't get home in time to show you all how big it looked, but I did get a few awesome photos to share with you!  Enjoy.

I personally think these turned out amazing.  I accidentally got some tree branches in a few clips, but it ended up look so cool to me!  I use the Nikon Coolpix p510 camera in case anyone was wondering!  I didn't use a tripod, it was all my hands work!
