HAPPY PAPPY THURSDAY FAM

So you are probably wondering how I stay so cherry and peppy when the weather turns the complete opposite. Well I am going to let you in on a little secret! I pretend that I love the cold. lol What I mean by that is that I try to look on the positive side. I get to wear fuzzy socks and scarfs everywhere with no judgement, what could be better than that?! Also, I don't really like hot chocolate but if you do then you have an excuse to drink it all you want. Honestly, winter can be a very depressing time for some people and I have been there. I just really recommend focusing on the happy things and it will be over before you know it.

I know that everyone is super busy with the semester ending and everything but you don't have to stress out too much, I am here to help. So Thanksgiving came and went and pretty soon you will be dragged from dining room to dining room to eat the same meal 7 times but it's OK. I am going to give you some tips on Holiday eating!

Day 18 - Inspiration Post (5)

CATURDAY PT.2

Alrighty kiddos! So, for this inspiration post I found this super fabulous plaid scarf in my boyfriend's room. I have every intention of stealing it from him and taking it for myself. I will let you know how that goes. Anyway, I really do enjoy plaid. I don't think that it will ever go out of style, especially if worn in a tasteful manner. Plaid can be overdone, yes but it can also be a great "pop" or "wow" factor. Some people don't fancy plaid but I do and I really wish that I could incorporate it into my blog in some way.

HAPPY CATURDAY 

Hello guys! So this is another inspiration post. The picture that I have uploaded is of some text that was on a can in my boyfriend's house. I really liked the text and feel as thought my blog could use some type of fancy to it. I also really enjoy the color of the background. I am  a big fan of purples so this is right up my ally. I really do think that if I ever did a bog for a company of some sort, I would try to find a cursive that was more legible. I hope that you are all having a good weekend.  

Day 16 - FINAL CATDOWN

HAPPY CATURDAY FAM

Alright guys, so today we are going to talk about tips to help you de-stress during finals. First off I want to say that as a Sophomore in college I do understand that the last few weeks of the semester are beyond stressful. I personally shut down and my brain refuses to do anything. So, here are a few tips that I have picked up along the way.

1. DON'T cram! I promise if you do, you will be disappointed in the end.

2. Talk to your professors of you have any questions, they are people too!

3. Try group studying.

4. Get lots of sleep.

and last but not least...

5. Believe in yourself.

Day 15 - Inspiration Post (3)

OMG IT'S TUESDAY

    Hey guys so I just want you to know that this week both of my posts are going to be Inspiration Posts. While I was walking to my second class of the day on the wonderful Slippery Rock University campus, I ran into a few of these bad boys (pictured left). They are all around campus but I have never really taken the time to look at them. First off, the writing that is on the side is completely different than any other font around campus. This both annoys me and inspires me. I really don't like the font but I appreciate that it is different and that is what I stand for. I love being different and thank the almighty spirt above for not making me have the desire to be the same as everyone. 

     So this sign that I usually just pass by inspired me. It made me feel at home here at Slippy and I am really excited to see what else I get the privilege to experience in my next 2 and a half years here. 

Day 14 - GET UP AND GET FIT

HELLO THURSDAY LOVERS

      Alright kids, so today we are going to talk about simple ways that you can make yourself healthier. You can cut down on T.V. and video games. Also, you can simply just get out and play. Walk to class instead of taking the bus, eat a salad with at least one meal a day, walk around while you are doing daily tasks instead of just sitting still. Any and all of these things will help to increase your heart rate and help you to maintain and increase your health.

HAPPY RAINY TUESDAY 

     Hello fam, so how are you? I just want to say that I am proud of you and all of the effort that you are putting into making yourself a better person. I know that life can be hard sometimes so I just want to take this post and encourage you to keep pushing. One day, near or far you will appreciate everything that you did now to be happier. Every day is a new day to take your life and make it what you want. We all have bad days and hiccups but ultimately things will work out, I promise.

HAPPY THURSDAY KIDDOS

     Alrighty, so to me the only good thing about Thursday is the fact that tomorrow is the last day of the week. Now if you aren't a fan of today that is okay we will give you a reason to. Today we are going to talk about some things you can do on a daily basis to become healthier.

HAPPY FIRST TUESDAY OF NOVEMBER

     Hello party people! I hope that you all had a great Halloween (if you don't celebrate Halloween then I hope you had a great cheat day). Anyway, on to a new fresh and shiny month; NOVEMBER. Now I bet that you are all upset with all of the horrible things that you ingested over the past weekend so today we are going to talk about cleanses!

*Disclaimer: cleanses are not for everyone! Talk to your doctor about it first. Never starve yourself and make sure that you follow the instructions given. 

     Alright, so I am going to link a few cleanses that I think are pretty cool! Try them at your own risk and be careful. Toodles.

IT IS ALMOST HALLOWEEN!

      In honor of Halloween we are going to have a cheat day. It is a good thing to know that just because you are trying to eat healthy does not mean that you can't take a day every once in awhile to eat what you want. Everything in moderation is okay, just make sure that you don't binge and eat everything in your house like I usually do lol. Anyway, I want you to all have a fabulous holiday if you celebrate it, if not, take a cheat day anyway.

Day 9 - Inspiration Post (2)

HAPPY TUESDAY FAM 

         Alright guys, so on this lovely day I am going to grace you with another fabulous inspiration post. While I was walking to class, way to early in the morning, I came across this tree. Why this tree Miranda? Well, look at it! Compared to all of the other trees, this tree is not ready for winter. He refuses to kick off his leaves and prepare for winter. Random fact: I never understood why when it gets cold trees lose their leave but they would be warmer if they had leaves. Anyway, this tree stood out to be and it inspired me. It made me want to make my blog stand out and be good and consistent throughout the whole semester. I feel that consistency is very important and that is what I aim for. I hope that you all have a really awesome day and you find or see something that inspires you. 

Day 8 - These Boots Were Made for Walking

HAPPY FRIDAY LOVELY PEOPLE

     Today we are going to talk about walking. So, let's say that you hate to exercise and you feel that you keep trying to make yourself go to the gym but it just never happens. Here what you do, you walk every where and I mean every where. Take the stairs, walk to work, walk to class, and even just walk for pleasure. The best kind of walk in my opinion is one that you take to clear your mind because you are getting exercise and relaxing at the same time. WIN WIN. If you are ever having a bad day and you feel like the world is against you, go for a walk. When you spend some time with nature it really does make it easier to connect and see the brighter side of things.

Goal - Go for a walk! You will feel better and have a clearer mind.

Day 7 - WEIGHT a minute

provided by: 193_fallsdown_cat_gifs.gif

HAPPY TUESDAY EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU

         On this great and fabulous day we are going to talk about weight. Yes, I know that it is a terrible and dreaded topic but we are going to talk about it. Since before I can remember I have always cared completely and 100% about the number on the scale. I didn't care how I felt about my body, I just needed the number to become smaller. Now I am aware that a number does not matter! Health means nothing if you don't feel good about yourself. You deserve to feel good in your own body. Once you accept the fact that every single person is built differently and the number does not determine your self-worth your life will become better.

Goal - If you are someone that constantly focuses on the number on the scale, I want you to try and not weigh yourself for a week! It may seem impossible but you will see results.

HELLO FRIENDS AND FELINES

         Today we are going to talk about something that can help you relax and burn some calories at the same time; YOGA. Yes, I said it. Yoga is good for you in so many different ways, especially if you have stress related problems, anxiety, or OCD. The art or act of performing yoga helps you relax your body and mind and leaves you feeling refreshed. Recently, I have been told you give yoga a try because it doesn't hurt, it just helps.

HELLO MY LOVELY BLOGGERS!

       Hi guys! It is time for another blog post. So today we are going to talk about lemon water. YES. You may have heard it through the grape vine, but it is not a rumor. If you add lemon to your water, especially in the morning, it is so good for you (it boosts your immune system and many other things). You can drink it cold or warm, it just depends on what you like. I am not a fan of warm beverages so I prefer it cold but everyone is different.

- Goal: Try some lemon water! You can use a little or a lot, drink it hot or cold, or even use artificial lemon juice!

Day 3 - Inspiration Post (1)

provided by: cat-fat-dancing-cat-gif.gif

HI PEOPLE!

           
         Hello, so this is going to be a different kind of post. Throughout my blogging I will be posting a few posts that stray from my typical posts. For this post I am going to discuss something that I saw on campus or around that I feel inspires me. 

       Today while I was walking to class I passed by these flowers at the dining hall. They instantly brightened my day. The day was pretty overcast so the contrast of the bright flowers and the gray sky instantly made me feel so much better. This is what I want my blog to do for people. I want people to visit my blog and feel a little better. Every journey has some rough patches but each day you can find something that makes it a little easier to keep going.
