How To ♥ Keep New Years Resolutions

Happy New Years! I can't believe it's 2014!




I'm sure most of you have made some type of resolution this year and maybe some of you have already failed to keep it. 

some common ones are:

-going to the gym
-eating healthy
-losing weight
-getting oganized
-save money
-studying more

but they are hard to keep. 
I'm going to tell you how to keep your goals and stay on track for this year.

1.) Reflect on your list. Is it realistic/doable?
2.) Does it benefit someone else?
-It is easer to keep a goal if you think about someone you care about more than yourself.
3.)Break into smaller sections.
-Start the gym once a week. Then move on to twice a week and so on until you go everyday.
-Losing weight, start small. Cut out soda or something small then go big!
-Saving money. Lets say you want to save a bit each week for a year:
week 1: save $1. = $1
week 2: save $2. = $3
week 3: save $3. = $6
... week 52: save $52. = about $1,400.
easy?
4.) Have a friend help
5.) Pray!!!

Seriously?!?!? Jesus Inc.

I know this is not beauty related what so ever. Actually, this is quite random and I wanted to rant for a second. My appolgies in advance if I say anything offensive or you dislike me because of what I am about to say.

I recently took a little trip to my local Wal-Mart with my friend who came to visit after being away at college for a few months. It's like our thing. We scan Wal-Mart for random items, glance at the beauty section, realize we are to poor and go eat some fro-yo. 
Well on this trip I noticed some odd tooth brush out of the corner of my eye. Yippie. A toothbrush! false. My friend left to find something else randomly and I went back to this strange tooth brush. I'm not strange. Disclaimer...I am not a freak who collects tooth brushes either. 


Is that what I think it is??? Yeah. A Jesus tooth brush. I don't understand. Is it so you can have teeth as white as the pearly gates of Heaven? This made no sense to me. 


For real. 
Thats not the only Jesus thing I've seen. It just made me kind of upset. Well, honestly at first I was very excited and thought it was so nifty. Then because I was in my lonesome at Wal-Mart I began to ponder. 
Haven't you seen the millions of Jesus related items?
-tooth brushes
-t-shirts
-bobble heads 
-mints
-mugs
-candles
-clocks
-bumper stickers
-hats
-posters
-key chains
-blankets....
seriously? Almost anything you can put a picture of Jesus on. It bothers me. 
While being a Christian, this happens to bother me. It probably shouldn't and I should be pleased that my savior gets known, but not in this way. Wearing a shirt that says "Jesus is my home dog" does not make you a Christian. Sorry, but it doesn't.
I bet that most of the companies that print those aren't even believers. They just know they will be bought.

If you are a real Christian, you don't need a shirt that announces it to everyone. Your actions should show it. 
Instead of wasting money on that, donate it. Give it to your church. Give it to a homeless shelter. 
I know the Christmas season is over, but you can still be thoughtful any time of the year. So instead of buying a mocking toothbrush, do something better with your money and help someone else. I do not support the "Jesus Brand". I am a follower of Jesus, but I think that that merchandise is mocking Christians. I do not support it. 
That is the end of my rant. 
haha. 
Sorry for that! Carry on. Have a nice day! (:

Whitening for Sensitive Teeth





Why am I holding a banana?
Obviously you knew I was whitening my teeth, right?
You guys are so smart then.

Have you ever tried whitening your teeth with those gels and strips?
Why I don't use them:
My gums always burn after that and I cannot drink hot or cold drinks afterwards.
They always taste so gross.
They also cost too much to buy.
I use a banana peel instead.

Why bananas?
-High in minerals like potassium and magnetism that remove surface stains.
-Calcium in them also strengthens teeth

Advice for Seniors : Starting College

Hello, seniors!
Doesn't that feel good to say?
Only like...12 years to finally say you're a senior. Felt like forever to me.
These are some of my tips for your senior year and getting prepared for college. 




*I'm terribly sorry for that typical white girl duck face. 




Advice for high school senior:

-look at different colleges (make sure it’s the right one for you and your major). Research.
-don’t apply to certain places to impress anyone. Think logically. Think about expenses and your future not who’s around you.
-take tours or try to look at testimonies of other students on forums. 
-don’t worry if its not your dream school. You may be able to go in the future.
-community college is a great cheaper option. Go for the first 2 years then transfer to the school you really want. Save up for the better classes that your specific school only offers.
-apply earlier because once early acceptances come out you will know how to plan
-most high schools offer free applications so take advantage of those. Apply to as many as you can so you have options to choose from.
-don’t forget to fill out financial aid forms because those seriously help. Even if its not all covered, trust me, college is crazy expensive.
-you will not get accepted everywhere. Im sorry. That’s life. You can boost your application by a good gpa, test scores and even writing a great essay. But they can still deny your acceptance.
-senior year is the best year. Relax. Don’t get stressed over it. If you are determined to go to college, you’ll go even if its not exactly where you want to go.

-good luck!

Remember I'm here to help. Just leave a comment.
