Who Are You?? ++ Who I Am!
Hello everyone how have we been?? I thought I would start using my blog a lot more than I have been and I feel terrible because I love all of my supporters and I feel like some of my readers don't always watch my videos or want to watch them which is totally awesome! So I think I want to do some positivity posts and journal on here everyday for you guys! It will be something of the sort but to start this off I wanted to let you know that my new video is up and you can watch it HERE! But also I wanted to have more big discussions on my blog so with that being said lets chat it up all week long!!
My question for you guys is who are you? Now I would really love it if you guys would answer down below but if not that is totally okay! I guess I will start first haha. :)
Who I am...
I am a 19 year old girl who thought she knew what she was going to do with her life and is now realizing that she wants to go another direction but she is also crazy and confused. She is someone who just wants to take life one step at a time and just stop planning everything. She isn't quite there yet but that is her goal!
Now please please please let me know in the comments I would love for everyone to just start a huge conversation about this topic below.
Thank you guys so much for reading and I will talk to you guys in the comments.

Health & Fitness ~Food,Apps,Workouts & Music~
Hey Guys! So recently I just posted about my fitness and health on YouTube CLICK HERE TO WATCH IT! I posted it just because I wanted to be able to look back at it to see how I have progressed! :)
So first off to begin I guess I will talk about the Apps that I use.
The first I want to talk about is called My Fitness Pal. This my favorite because you can watch what you eat, track how much you have lost and all of that!! It is free on the app store which is another plus. When you first get the app it asks you a few questions to determine how many calories you should consume in one day. Then on the app you can add in what you have eaten for breakfast,lunch and dinner. As well as the snacks you have in between. You also add in how much water you have dranken for the day and as well as any excercises you might have done! It is very simple to use and is very helpful!
The next app I wanted to talk about is called Health Tips.
This one is great because it tells you a new tip everyday and some can be helpful to you. This one is again free on the app store. So for example the tip I have for today, 11/7/2013, says "Most people need 8 hours of sleep to rejuvenate and balance hormones - especially the hunger control hormones. Plan to sleep 7-8 hours nightly to help control binge eating and weight gain." So I really think it's neat to learn something new about health eveyday.
The last app that I use is called Jillian Michaels Weight Loss.
I really really like this one as well. Now there are 2 different versions of this on the app store. One is 2.99 and another is free. I just choose the free one. Now the difference between the two is that not everything is unlocked on the free one but honestly you don't really need to buy it. So when you first get the app you answer a few questions to determine the best workout plan for you. Then she gives you a summary and for example mine says " I know you're a Proportinate Shape and want to lose 25-50 lbs. I've created this workout plan just for you." Then below that are the different circuits she recommends! There are 5 different circuits she will recommend. Then when you click on one of the workouts there is a video and also step by step on how to do the workout. It also gives you some recipes to make as well! You can also access this online.

Apple Berry Banana Smoothie Recipe:
Ingredients:
3 ounces of apple juice
1 small banana
1 cup of ice cubes
1 cup of strawberries
1 scoop of protein powder
Preparation:
1. Pour ingredients into blender and blend on high until mixture is completely smooth and frothy.
2. Pour into a tall glass and enjoy!
This makes one serving and then it provides you with nutrion facts. This is 285 calories per serving.
Grilled Lemon Chicken:
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1/4 cup of basil, fresh or oregano, chopped
1 tablespoon mustard, dijon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup of oil, olive, extra virgin
1/4 cup olives, kalamata, pitted, halved
1 lemon, juice of
1 tablespoon honey
2 cloves of garlic, minced
1/4 teaspoon pepper, black ground
6 chicken, breast, boneless, skinless, 4 to 5 ounce halves
cooking spray
Preparation:
1. To prepare the dressing, whisk together the lemon zest and juice, the basil, honey, mustard, garlic and salt and pepper. Whisking constantly, add the oil in a slow stream. Set aside.
2. Place the chicken on a cutting board and lay a sheet of wax paper over it. Using the flat side of a meat mallet, pound the chicken so it is an even thickness. Place chicken in a shallow baking dish just large enough to hold it. Pour half of the dressing about 1/3 cup over the chicken and turn the breasts once or twice to coat. Cover the dish and refrigerate for atleast 2 hours if possible, and up to 8 hours turning atleast once.
3.Stir the olives into the remaining dressing and set aside until ready to serve.
4. If using a gas or charcoal grill, spray the grill with olive oil and preheat a medium-hot grill. If using a grill pan, spray with olive oil and heat over medium-high.
5. Discard the marinade and grill the chicken until it is opaque in the center, 5 to 6 minutes per side. Place the chicken on a platter and drizzle with the dressing. Serve.
Ok now for my workouts that I do.
Right now I am doing the 24 Day Challenge and I have been doing that for 5 days. All you do are crunches, leg raises and 1 second planks.
The picture is of the challenge I am currently doing! My cousin posted this on her facebook and I decided to do it!
I am also doing the 30 day squat challenge. I have been doing that for 3 days now. Basically your squats keep increasing as the days go by. My picture won't upload onto my blog. But you can google and find a picture for the challenge, that's all that I did. Sorry about that!
Also I am doing some of the things that are off of the Jillian Michaels app.
I wanted to throw in a bonus here in my blog, there is also another bonus in my video that isn't on here!
That bonus would be what music do I listen to. That would be using my pandora app and then clicking on either my bad girlfriend radio, nickelback radio or even linkin park radio. Anything that will keep me going and staying pumped.
The reason I am working out is not because I am not confident with myself I am very confident with myself. It is just because I love feeling great and I love feeling sore from the workouts. Sounds crazy I know but I just love feeling healthy. I used to be really overweight and I would have to wear a size 20 pants now I am down to a size 14! :) Which is so much better, I have a lot more energy now too. Another reason I am doing it is because of my disease, I need to stay healthy in order to not get sick.
So that pretty much sum it all up! Thank you so much for reading!!! :) <3 Be sure to check out my video for more tips you didn't see on my blog post!

The Good and The Bad Nail Art
Hey guys, a while ago I started doing a series specifically for nail art products on the market! The good and the bad nail art series! This is my second post about I will link you to the first one right HERE. In that post I covered a lot of different brands of nail art stripers! So if you would like to know my thoughts on several brands of nail stripers, then check it out. I will be uploading a video for this tonight so be sure to check out my YouTube channel and subscribe for an upcoming GIVEAWAY! CLICK HERE for the video!
Alright now let's go ahead and get into the reviews:
These are the Sally Hansen Salon Effects. So these I don't care for, they never seemed to stick to my nails and they dry out very easily. You can't just use one of the strips because the rest will all dry out and you can't let them sit around for a month because mine dried out. The butterfly one and the leopard print one, I didn't even open, when I went to try them they were all dried out. I was very disappointed because of that. These retail for 9.99 and you can get these practically anywhere.
The things that come in this little kit are instructions, a nail file, small orange stick and two packs of the nail polish strips. Again these retail for $9.99 and you can get these anywhere.
Now these are the Kiss Nail Dress Stickers. They have many different styles and I really do like these! Now what I am showing you is actually some samples but I have used these before and they work great. They stick to my nail perfectly and very cute! They don't dry out and if you only want to use one you can! These retail for $6.99 and you can get these at local drugstores. I really recommend these for anyone.
Now this is the Konad Stamping Nail Art. Now this I am on the fence about I like everything but the fact that they tell you that you need the special polishes. You don't need the special polishes, you can really use any polish if you'd like. I have found that Revlon works well and so does OPI even China Glaze. But another thing I don't like is that everything is separate. You have to buy the plates separate and all of that. I have found these cheaper online. Shany Cosmetics is one of them and really if you just google there are a lot of different company's that are much more inexpensive.
Some of the colors that I have are white,mint green and lilac. These polishes retail for about 6.00 each.
I also have a blue and a pink. These brushes in the bottle are very short and these polishes are only meant to be used on the stamping plates, you can't use these to paint your nails with.
I also have yellow and a burnt orange color. They are pigmented and they do work but they aren't worth it.
These are the stamping plates, they aren't very big and the designs are very cute.
Now this is the stamper you can buy, it has a small side and a larger side. Also you get a scraper and a plastic piece to hold your stamping plate.
Finally the last thing I wanted to talk about was:
The Red Carpet Manicure Nail Art Kits. I really really like these and these are such a great deal! These retail for $30.00 each but trust me they are completely worth it!
These come with 3 nail polishes, which alone retail for $10.00 each.
Now I have different kits, I have all of the ones that are permanent as well as the limited edition ones! I have white and gray chunky glitter and a fine black glitter.
I am showing you gold chunky glitter and the other two are mixed glitters, they have fine glitter and chunky glitter as well as iridescent glitter.
Again just some more glitter mixes that came in the sets. In each set it comes with 3 glitter mixes and these retail for about 2.00 each.
Then you might also get a rhinestone wheel and they can retail for $4.00.
In each set you also get sticker decals and a little cuticle pusher. Which is the little pink thing.
The last couple of items you get in the sets are a brush and a dotting tool! So that is everything I wanted to cover I will be uploading a video for this so please check out my channel and all of my links will be down below!
