DIY Monogram Pumpkin!

October 27, 2015

hey guys!

i have been seeing a lot of cute preppy pumpkins lately so I wanted to share a little diy that I did with my pumpkins to make them look so cute! this is the perfect little diy for halloween or fall!

so lets get started!

things you need!

things you need

you essentially just need a pumpkin, glitter and elders liquid school glue

but its also helpful to have a black sharpie, toothpicks and a boba straw (or any old straw)

start by outlining your initials (or you don’t have to do this if you can just free hand it, but its hard to do it freehand)

and start putting the glue on the pumpkin

DSC_1557

I would recommend that you put the glue on a plate and spread it with a tooth pick, thats what I ended up doing, it was much easier!

and when you are done putting on the glue, start putting glitter on and then shake it off! use the boba saw (or any other straw) to blow the excess glitter off, believe me its way easier!

your final product will look a lot like this! (with your own initials of course!)

hope you enjoyed this little diy!

if you like this, or end up making one of your own please tag me or comment!

thanks!

Learn to Be Kind to Yourself

October 18, 2015

hey guys!

for me, its really hard for me to be kind to myself because I am a perfectionist. I am so hard on myself, I don’t miss school because I feel like I will miss too much, but sometimes when you are really sick, you HAVE to stay home. I am starting to learn to be kinder to myself, I am slowly starting by when I make a mistake to not be so hard on myself.

so since this is so close to my life, i wanted to share some ways you can learn to be kinder to your self.

1 // Spend Sometime Appreciating Yourself : I am trying to write in my journal, in a journal I am writing about all of the good things I have done, and trying to put the hard things out of my mind.

2 // Don’t Beat Yourself Up Over One Bad Thing : This is the biggest thing for me, If I don’t do well on an assignment in school, I automatically break down and it ruins my entire day.

3 // Spend Some Time Alone : When I say alone, I mean no devices, and no way to break yourself down. You can do this simply by taking a nap, reading a interesting book, or even draw.

4 // Forgive Yourself : This is also a big thing for me, when I make a mistake, I never forgive myself, I always take it on me, and I never forgive myself, which I should do.

5 // TREAT YO SELF : Take a day to treat your self, as they say in Parks and Rec “TREAT YO SELF!” whether it is a day of shopping, going to a favorite theme park,  just staying home to watch netflix (i don’t mean netflix and chill) or going to the spa. Use this as a day to chill out, and completely destress.

how do you guys be kind to yourselves?

hope you guys enjoyed this little article! I hope that it was helpful, it actually was really helpful for me to write it!

Life as a 15 Year Old Blogger

October 13, 2015

hey guys!

I was inspired by Paulina and Cathleen’s posts about being teenage bloggers and balancing that with your regular life. I really related with these two articles, and I love how these girls were able to share with their readers how they live.

here we go?

IMG_2759

so obviously i go to school, and school is a big deal for me. I am a very hard worker and HATE being sick (especially if that means missing school!). I work hard in many honors classes during the day, and when the school day is over, that is just half of my day, I am an athlete, as many of you may know, (golf and basketball!) so when I finally get home (sometimes as late at 8) then I finally get to start homework.

IMG_9733
the hardest thing for me is laying out a schedule so I am not overwhelmed, making sure I write those needed posts and making sure all of my homework is completed for to the best of my ability.

car rides to disney!
car rides to disney!

but I am also a teenager, I love going out with my friends for brunch and shopping and i love to watch netflix ( I am currently watching HIMYM for the 3rd time!).

me

sometimes M&M comes before life, missing football games aren’t a big deal, but sometimes my blog feels like I miss so much! but I really don’t miss as much as it sounds. I get to go to fun places to take pictures for my blog, I get to go to fabulous restaurants and share my food pic with you guys!

wynn 7

M&M is my passion, I honestly love being a blogger, and wouldn’t have it any other way!

hope y’all enjoyed!

please comment if you relate/liked this article!

A Big Change ~ My Blog Re-Design

October 11, 2015

hey guys!

i hope you all have noticed a big change!

I COMPLETELY RE-DESIGNED MY BLOG!

this was a long time coming, and i had planned this for awhile!

i was inspired from a restaurant in LA called Bottega Louie.

In bottega louie, they have marble all over the place, and white and most importantly pastel colors. I am in love with white marble, and mint green combination! I really spent a long time, trying to figure out the correct re-layout. I changed the widgets to the complete other side in fact! I used a lot of secret pinterest boards for themes and I am actually really excited how it came out!

hope y’all enjoy my redesign! please comment if you like my new redesign! I would LOVE to answer any questions that anyone can ask about the re-design!

xoxo
