How To Deal With A Moving Friend

  We have all had to deal with a moving friend.   That can be a lot to handle.  It may seem like it is impossible to remain friends, but there are some ways you can remain in contact with your friend.    Tips:   Writing letters is a great way to stay connected to a friend.  Sure, you could email them, but I like writing letters because they are more personal.  I also get excited when I see their letter in the mail.    The next tip is a given, and that is to stay connected through social media.  Believe it or not continuously seeing their posts can make it seem like they are not gone.    Another pretty obvious tip is to text, call or video chat them.  Being able to communicate with your friends using any form of video chat is the great because you are able to see them, so it is like they never really left. 

Winter Workout Hacks

Cold weather is usually an excuse for people not to workout.  There is no longer any excuse because I have found a couple of ways you can continue to workout without the weather being an issue. One Way: In home workouts.  They are an excellent way to get a workout in without ever leaving the comfort of your home.  It is very easy to go online and find different challenges, like ab challenges or squat challenges but those are only good for toning your body.  If you want to lose body fat, you should look up cardio challenges or cardio videos online.  The Second Way: Seventeen Magazine Workouts.  In every issue of Seventeen magazine they include an in home workout.  These are perfect if you want a fast workout.  If you don't have any of their magazines, you can go online and type in seventeen magazine workout and find a lot of workouts pages from the magazine.  The Third Way: Focus On Eating Healthy...

My Go To Winter Life Hacks

For those of you who don't know, a hack is a tool or technique that makes some aspect of ones life easier or more efficient.  My first winter life hack are nude tights.  I love wearing nude tights in the winter when I wear dresses and shorts.  They keep my legs covered up without looking like I am wearing tights. My second winter life hack is hand made leg warmers.  They are great under boots.  Take an old sweater and cut off the sleeves.  Measure them and make them as long as you want.  They will keep your legs really warm during the winter. My third winter life hack is for when you wake up in the morning and it is really cold.  I like to keep a pair of fuzzy socks by my night stand.  When I wake up in the morning, I put them on first thing.  That way, my feet are really warm and I don't have to worry about my cold floor. My fourth winter life hack is a way to keep my skin moisturized during the winter months.  ...

My Top Three Winter Fashion Must Haves

I am a huge fan of sweaters and blouses.....so why not put them together? I love the layered look it creates.  Blouses are a great way to make sweaters look more put together, and they can keep you extra warm if your sweater isn't very thick.  You could also take off the sweater if you get too cold.     This is another one of my favorite winter looks.  I love oversized sweater cardigans.  I like these because I can wear them with a tank top and be casually cute or I can wear them with a blouse and be instantly sophisticated.      More winter fashion essentials are long socks/tights.  I think these are a perfect way to jazz up any outfit.  Specifically, colored tights.  Personally, I wear a lot of tights during the winter season.  My legs get really cold so they are perfect way to cover my legs when wearing a dress or a skirt etc.  Socks also do the sam...

Pretty Little Liars Will Be Back Soon(Spoilers Included)

You guys already know how obsessed I am with Pretty Little Liars.  I am dying for the show to come back on.  I feel empty without it. I am currently doing what I always do whenever the show is not on, watching all of the episodes over again.  Some might think that is redundant but I look for clues that I may have missed the first time that I watched the episodes.  Every time that I re-watch an episode I learn something new. I cannot wait for Pretty Little Liars to come back on.  I think the new season will be very different than the previous season.  The second half of season six will include a five year jump: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_JO8fMMwLks   The liars will be adults, and Alison will be included in the show permanently.  The girls will be dealing with another "A".  Cece already confessed to being A, but there is another person messing with the girls. They are adults now, they are more mature, but they are still dealing...

Steaming My Face: Review

I haven't really heard people mention steaming their face.  I've maybe heard of it two times max.  For you out there who don't know what steaming is, it is just applying steam to your face to open your pores.   I decided to do this because I got a whitehead(sorry for the visual).  I had read online, that steaming could help white heads. So I got the steamer and I turned it on, and it made the water begin to bubble.  So I put my face above the heat for about ten minutes.  It began to get really hot after about six minutes, so I stopped after about four more minutes.  I went in the shower and exfoliated my face. Steaming helped to open my pores I was able to have a deeper clean when exfoliating.  The next day I looked at my pores and they had SIGNIFICANTLY gone down!   My pores were not huge before, so just imagine.  So because of how well ste...
