Ways to wear DENIM SHORTS

I personally think that denim shorts are pretty versatile. They're kind of like jeans...you can wear them with a lot of different things (with few exceptions!). But here are some ideas :) 


Btw, these are just pictures from the internet...that I thought would be a good outfit with denim shorts. (Their obviously NOT my ideas, nor my own pictures)

Things to do in SUMMER:

For a lot of people, summer equals pool, vacation, BBQ and just having fun. However for others; summer means staying at home and being boring. So to cancel that boredom, here is a list to do things that will make your summer unforgettable:

-Dance: your home alone, have music blasting, and you need to squeeze a workout here and there. So why not get up and DANCE? It's amazingly fun, and burns tons of calories!

-Make a BLOG: I know...sounds lame. But each of you has a talent, and something that you love to do. Why not share your knowledge with the rest of the world?

-Make Smores: Even if your inside; get some chocolate, marshmallows and graham crackers; and invite friends over. It'll be like a camp inside(: Or of course you can take it by the fireplace

-Brush up on your studies: Super lame right? We all know that we forget A LOT of things during the summer. So why not practice some of that Algebra for atleast 10 minutes? What harm does it do? You'll have it in your mind, and get a headstart at school.

-Visit a museum: Your downtown has a lot of things you probably didn't realize you had. Grab some friends, and check the cool museums right across the street from you!

-Hit the park: Call some friends, and hit your park! You can play soccer, basketball, tennis, ultimate frisbee, or just sit and talk.

-Make some smoothies: It's hot and it's time to hydrate yourself! Google some healthy smoothie recipes and make them!

-Read the daily paper: Okay, so I know that a lot of people do this already. But for the ones who don't; it's a good habit...your knowledge will increase, and you will keep up the latest things going on.

-Volunteer: There are a lot of organizations around town that need volunteers. Go for it! You'll be helping out your community and feeling good about yourself!

-Make a scrapbook: For the ones that ended a great school year; why not put a scrapbook about your year, with pictures of friends and teacher? It'll be YOUR version of the yearbook.

-Make your own Jewelry: Buy some beads and others and make your own jewelry!

-Play a sport? PRACTICE: You have all day to do something. Why not spend it practicing your favorite sport?

-Play an instrument? PRACTICE: For 2 whole months, we just leave our instruments in that little corner. Don't! Pick it up and do daily practice to get a headstart the upcoming year!

-Follow your passion: If you are just waiting for that one day to transform your dream into reality; then you can't just sit on that couch. You have to stand strong...and do something about it! Right now!

I hope, now, you guys don't just sit around on the couch! Have fun and enjoy your summer!

Summer Skin Care

Summer is all about the hot, hot weather...and humid temperatures. So here are some quick little tips to go in harmony with your skin this summer. Yeah, that made no sense at all...but let's just do it!

-Try a Tinted Moisturizer

Tired of your foundation smearing off? Well try a tinted moisturizer! Keeps you covered, and makes much better friends with humid climates.

-Be sure to change your foundation tones.

Everyone's skin tone gets a little bit darker in the summer, so your foundation should too!

-Get a good primer

The primer will help your hard work of doing your makeup stay a bit longer(:

-Stay Hydrated

Drink tons and tons of water! If your tired of the plain old taste of water, try adding some cucumber or lemon to spice it up a bit ;)

-Cool Down with some Aloe Vera

Put "Aloe Vera Gel" on your shopping list. Aloe Vera is a great natural cool down for your skin. It's great for any redness, or just simply soothing down the skin.

-Go easy on your moisturizer (face)

It's summer, and humid is in the air. Going easy on your moisturizer will save you an excess oily face (along with all the sweating!).

-Sunscreen

Even if it's a cloudy day, be sure to always wear sunscreen! And even if your in the car driving, wear your sunscreen!

-Exfoliate your skin

As your hitting the beach, having fun; your skin gets a bit more dull. So be sure to exfoliate your skin once every week to rough off any dead skin cells, and revealing glowing, radiant skin.

-Pick a body moisturizer that you love the smell of

Pick a lotion that you actually will remember to apply. Pick a summerrryyy one(:

-Have a healthy diet

A healthy diet can seriously do wonders for great skin. It's summer, so be sure to stock up on your favorite fruits!

And last but not least...

Just have fun!

Go throw waterballoons at each other, play a new instrument, go to the park, go swimming, tell someone "i love you.", dance like crazy, smile, try new things, go sky diving, go on a roller coaster, go eat some ice cream, go watch the History Channel, visit a museum, watch a movie, climb a mountain, explore new places, try mushroom and onion pizza, laugh...and ENJOY LIFE(:

Summer? Workout Time!

Summer's here, and having a brand new gorgeous body isn't EVER out of season. So why not hit the gym?

Okay, so all winter/spring, you know how we do...We're so lazy, cuddling on the couch, and drinking a cup of hot cocoa. But now that summer is here, the tanks, and shorty shorts come out...we all want a toned sexy body.

So what's your plan?

To get stronger?

To get lean?

To lose weight?

To be more flexibe?

More relaxed/stess less?

Well, mine (and most people) is LOSE WEIGHT. AHHH!

During the holidays, when we eat sooo much, I gained about 10 pounds. Yikes! I know:/

And ever since then, I haven't had a chance to lose it. At school, there was test, homework, and I couldn't even have time to hit the gym. So, my goal, is over the span of about 2 months (summerrrr) , I want to lose 10 pounds.

Losing 10 pounds would bring me to an about 115 lbs. But the funny thing, is that I guess my body won't let me lose more than about 113. But that's okay!

Last summer, about the time I started the blog, I actually did a lot of things with fitness and food, and I want to get back to that.

So here is my workout plan (that last summer, lost me about 10-15 lbs.) ..and hopefully, it'll make me lose some pounds too!:

-TREADMILL. Run run run! This was basically my "secret" to having a toned bod. (I miss my health conscious freak ! haha) . If you can't run 2 miles straight, then I suggest working yourself there. Yesterday, I only ran 1 mile, and today I plan to run 5 laps or 1.25 miles.

-PILATES. I want to try some ab moves or things, because I really want to work on my abs this summer. I've tried Pilates, and it truly feels amazing! So maybe I'll just check out some videos online, or hit my community center. If Pilates is a bit too fast paced for you, then yoga is an amazing alternative!

-Maybe AB BOOTCAMP here and there? Last summer I did the Billy Banks Ab Bootcamp everyday, and I think that was what contributed to my weight loss. So, I really want to try that up again...It's fun too!

-THA PARK. Oh my! I want to go to the park MORE with all my friends this summer, go and there, play some soccer, tennis, go swimming all that jazz! And plus, when you talk to friends, or have fun with friends, you don't even realize your working out!

-WATER. Atleast 8 glasses of water EVERYDAY. You'll have amazinggg skin, and especially during the summer, it's so important to stay hydrated.

My birthday is coming up in July, and we are all having a little "reunion" in July, so I want to be fit as possible in time for that! I want you guys to join along!

I hope this helps you guys much! (:

Why I'm in love with you- Summer Body Care

Summer's coming up!

Let's hit the beach, get out the sandals, the bathing suits, the sunglasses...and of course, the ice cream. Your skin needs might also change during the Summer...

So here is a list to maintaining great skin during the summer, and transforming your dry, winter skin into silky, gorgeous skin

For Daily regular bar soap:

Dove White Bar Soap

The classic Dove White. It's amazing, doesn't dry out skin, it's sooo rich and creamy, and it's the perfect everyday bar soap

For itch relief:

Eucerin Calming Body Wash

Amazing wonder for dry, itchy skin! Last year, my skin was severely dry and itchy, and the dermatologist recommended this. And it really calms down! It's fragrance free...so no need to worry if you have sensitive skin. For even better results, check out the matching lotions/cremes.

Wake up! Body Wash:

Dove Go fresh BURST body wash

The perfect compliment to a great awakening shower. The smell will revive your senses, and you'll probably end up dancing in the shower! This brightens up anyone's mood, and it also has nurtium moisture, so your skin is happy too!

Exfoliating Body Wash:

St. Ives Purify Exfoliating Body Wash

The best! It has mineral salt, which is perfect for getting soft skin! I have SUPER sensitive skin, so most exfoliating body washes leave my skin irritated and red. But not this. This is gentle...effective...and budget friendly! Unfortunately, few stores still keep this product :/

Natural Scrub

This is a superrbbbb scrub! This will leave skin so amazingly soft!

You just need to mix some olive oil and sugar...and ta da! You can use this even on your face (maybe not for sensitive skin though) and you can exfoliate your lips with this too!

LOTIONS:

For Super Dry skin:

Eucerin Intensive Repair Creme

The king of helping dry skin! It's so rich in alpha hydroxy, it replenishes skin, it's so rich and so great! It's fragrance free, so once again, if you have sensitive skin...no need to worry!

A touch of SMILE lotion:

Nivea Happy Sensation Body Lotion

Oh myyy! This is the favorite! When I put this on, I literally start smiling, laughing, dancing, remembering all the wonderful moments in life. It really brightens up your morning, and it leaves your skin lightly fragranced...so it isn't too strong...it's just perfect.

Relaxing, Natural Lotion:

Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Lotion

This lotion has active naturals, natural ingredients, that help moisturize, calm, and soothe skin. A wonderful start to the morning!

A touch of Mist:

Dove Go Fresh Body Mist

Yeah, I don't use the deo, but I do love the mists! Everyday, after my shower, I spritz some of this, to give me a nice, light smell. Unlike other mists, it's really not strong, and it keeps you like a flower... fragranced and beautiful.

This is it! I hope you enjoyed this!
