Daily Routine

So I have seen some beauty gurus get requests to write about their daily routine like makeup and just things in general and so I thought that would be something fun to do! So here it goes:
In the morning I try to get up but I usually just sleep for another 45 minutes. Once I finally get out of bed, I go down stairs, have breakfast then get changed. After that I put on my makeup (Depends on the day but I usually go with some mascara and eye shadow) and double check that I have everything. Then I go to school. When we get released, I get my stuff and sometimes will go to the library to meet up with some friends but usually go home. When I get home the first thing I do is get a bagel. I don't know why but it's just the one food I love so much and have to have a bagel! Once I have had my precious bagel, I knock out my homework then get in my jam jays (pjs). I need to be comfy and I am always freezing so I need to be warm! After that I usually just read or watch some videos before dinner. When dinner is over we all usually go in the family room and watch some TV and I get tired really easily so I go upstairs and get ready for bed. Doing things like taking off my makeup, brushing my teeth, putting in my retainer, are all part of my nightly routine. And then I fall asleep. Yup, that's my day! Comment below about your usual routine!

Nail care

Taking care of your nails is important.  Trimming your nails when they get to long is a must because who wants long yucky nails? (No offense if you have long nails. I just don't like them.) If you play sports then you probably already have short nails. Biting your nails is a bad habit and I admit I do bite my thumb nails but I m trying to break that habit. Painting your nails is something I love to do and I'm sure that almost every other girl in the world loves to change the color of their nails. After you paint your nails, it is important to take the polish off when it starts to chip. Chipped nails look bad and also the paint can turn your nails yellow after a while. Note: If you wear tons of nail polish then your nails will turn yellow. It's best to take the polish off after a few days and not wear anything for a while. Hope this helped!

Dances-Middle School

School dances are one of the biggest social gatherings. It's fun and you get to hang out with your friends. Middle school dances seem like a big deal when you are in middle school but later you look back and see how much you worried about your outfit and hair when you really didn't. Here are some middle school dance tips that I have picked up. 

1. Don't wear Uggs to the dance! It will be hot and you will be sweaty. 

2. Avoid wearing open toed shoes. I did and my feet got crushed. The next day my toes were purple.

3. Don't wear tons of makeup. Guys don't find that attractive and you only want to enhance your beauty. 

4. Don't be afraid to ask someone to dance! You will just regret it later and it is better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all!

5. Make sure you wear something appropriate. Nothing too short or tight. It just looks bad and it doesn't look pretty on anyone. 

6. You don't have to go to the dances. Have a Friday night in with some friends. 

Hope this helped

Stress

Ok I haven't posted anything in a while... My bad. I've been wicked busy and I know that sounds like a lame excuse but I am not lying! Anyway, stress is something that we al go through. I have been going through it, and I'm sure that some of you have too. Stress causes breakouts and I know this first hand when I got home from school and found I had three new zits on my face! I always take care of my skin and usually never breakout so I was pretty mad. I got to work right away and applied some of my Lush oily skin scrub and then applied some DHC acne spot treatment. Now they are mostly gone but then I realized how stressed I was. I have to go to school then go to practice and then do my homework. So I am working hard almost all day. My only free time is about nine and I'm exhausted then so I have to sleep. Important thing to do when your stressed that I find most helpful.
1. Get all f your work out of the way so then you have time to do stuff later.
2. Lie down, read a good book and relax!
3. Pamper yourself! Pampering is one of my favorite things to do when stressed. :)
4. Sleep! Not enough sleep can lead to stress.
5. Drink water. Being hydrated makes you feel so much better and refreshed.
6. Plan a fun day with friends. It could just be hanging out but do something fun.
7. Get around to doing something you have been wanting to do!
That's all for now. Hope to write more soon!

Your turn

I have been blogging for a little bit (like a month or so) and I want to know what you want me to write about! Leave a comment and maybe I'll write about it!

Yummy Treats that are good for you!

Everyone has their own little guilty pleasure. Mine is chocolate and most everyone I know loves chocolate! But if you are trying to watch what you eat or just want to be more healthy, there is one great brand that had little calories and tastes awesome. Skinny Cow. The Skinny Cow used to just make ice cream but now they make candy! Yay! There are also some great brownies that are amazing from Fiber One I think. I tried my first one when I was at my friend's house and it was one of the greatest tasting brownies that I have ever had. Her family is really healthy and doesn't buy real candy. They get the type that has like 80 calories. But these brownies tasted amazing and they were only 90 calories! So that is about it.... But remember it's ok to have some chocolate that's not low fat (do they make low fat chocolate???). Hope this helped!

Tips to stay healthy during the school year

I know that I posted a similar post a while ago but this is kind of an updated one. So during the school year you get stressed out a lot about projects, homework, and other things. If you go to high school then there is a good chance that there is a fitness gym in there (like with weights and treadmills). I highly recommend doing your homework right after school and not doing anything until it's done. Afterwards get changed into workout clothes and run a couple miles or whatever workout that you prefer to do. Eating right is another great way to stay healthy. For breakfast I usually have a smoothie with lots of strawberries and natural yogurt. I usually use Chobani Greek yogurt. It is a good source of protein and if your a vegetarian like me, you need to get as much protein you can get. You can add whatever type of fruit that you want or change the yogurt, it's just what you want. That should keep you full and give you plenty of energy for a while. At lunch time make sure that you pack something that you like and that's good for you. Salads or veggie wraps are good for lunch. After school (after you do your homework) a good snack is cheese and crackers or celery and all natural peanut butter. Hope this helps!
