How to get into the Holiday Spirit

November 15, 2015

hey guys!

i know its not even thanksgiving yet but man y’all should be getting in the mood starting now with these easy (not christmas decorating wise) fun little things to do.

okay guys here we go!

  1. volunteer at a soup kitchen or give some food to people who are in need:

– by helping people in need by giving to your local soup kitchens you can help to feel even more winter-y! or fall-y!

2.   bake cookies:

– you can start by these cute little turkey sugar cookies or these cute pumpkin pie sugar cookies

3.   make your christmas list:

– you can start a little early, so you don’t forget what you actually want

4.  eat and drink everything pumpkin:

–  PSLs and any pumpkin themed bread or cookie or cupcake

5. start planning your upcoming holiday parties:

– this is seriously my favorite thing, just to start planning all holiday events early

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!

My Vidicon 2015 Experience

August 7, 2015

hey guys!

if you didn’t know, a few weeks ago i attended vidcon at the anaheim convention center (right next to disneyland)

this visit was so much fun, i met so many people and got some really cool free things!

i also was really upset this year’s way they had the signings. so this year, the way they set up the signings was that everyone was assigned signings and i was assigned ones that i did not want.

i just wanted to let you guys know my feelings on vidcon 2015

My Fit Bit Review

August 4, 2015

hey guys!

i have been wanting to share this article with you guys, because i actually get asked ALOT how I like my fitbit or how I feel about it

so lets get started:

pros:

  1. its a MAJOR motivation! : when its 3:00pm and you only have 3 out of 5 dots done, this really makes you wanna get up and start moving.
  2. it tracks your SLEEP! : you just turn on sleep mode by tapping the area repeatedly (and it will vibrate to tell you its on sleep mode) and make it little looser so it doesn’t cut off circulation.
  3. its not TOO expensive! : some activity trackers out there are super expensive, and its way cheaper than getting an apple watch (if you just want it for exercise).
  4. the syncing works SO well! : you just turn on the app and you can see how many steps you have taken, and also on this app you can track your calories and water.

cons:

  1. its not TOO cute! : if you are wearing a nice outfit it looks kinda gross with a nice outfit, but on everyday life, its PERF!
  2. the band gets DIRTY easily : it got so dirty so quickly! i used windex on the band itself when the thing inside was charging and it worked great.

the best thing this my sister lost her fitbit at vidcon, and she emailed fitbit and they are sending her another one! how nice is that!

so overall, i really enjoy the fitbit! very much!

if you like/dislike your fitbit please comment! i like to hear your thoughts too!

(this was not at all sponsored by fitbit)
