I started getting a sore throat yesterday and I was really hoping it would go away today but it didn't. I hate the start of a cold or flu because I always feel worse on the second and third days. Today I just wanted to crawl in bed and sleep but I couldn't because I had to go down to my school and take a test. I will be so surprised if I pass that test because I was sitting there for five minutes trying so hard not to puke or think about puking.
When I'm sick I try to stick with my eating habits though. I have three full meals and small snacks but all I wanted to do was not eat at all. It was weird though because yesterday, Monday, all I wanted to do was eat and I did. I kept eating and eating, which is probably the result to me wanting to throw up all day.

Boy Friend
I've had this problem for as long as I can remember and I honestly hate having this as an issue. I can't have a close boy friend who isn't attracted me. It's just not possible. A lot of people ask, is it possible for boys and girls to be just friends without that feeling that one of them may like the other, be attracted to the other. I always thought it was possible but as I get older and hang out with new guys and old guy friends I realize it's not possible.
I thought I could hang out with a friend from high school as friends with no intention of anything more but apparently my friendliness can be misread as flirting. Although I make it perfectly clear when I'm into someone. All I want is a boy friend without feeling that he will me or I will like him. Most of the time it's them liking me and I already put them in the friend-zone. I make it perfectly clear that they are in the friend-zone and I know it's a hard place to be but I'd rather have most of these guys as friends for a long time then to date them and end up hating them down the road.

Friday: Prettier Friends; Roommates in College; Boy Friends
It's Friday night and I am home with nothing to do except to do some homework that I forgot to do and to write up my latest blog post. Woo! Check out some of my advice for this week! I hope everyone has a great weekend!
MeggierP Asked:
My friends are prettier, better, and funnier than me.
My friends are way prettier and everyone likes them better than me. I'm in the 7th grade and haven't had my first kiss and they all have. How do I make myself prettier and better?
Dear MeggierP,
"Someone will always be prettier. Someone will always be smarter. Someone will always be younger. But they will never be you."
I actually just read that. I was once told that you have to be the change you want to see because the mirror won't change for you. Don't worry about your friends and what they have or haven't done. The only person you need to compare yourself to, is the person you were yesterday. I'm not trying to throw all these quotes at you, it just came out that way. But if you want people to like you, I'm not going to tell you to be yourself, I'm going to tell you to be the person you would like to meet. What makes you like your friends? What is it about them that made you drawn to be their friend? Be better version of that. And also be beautiful for you. Just because you haven't had your first kiss yet, doesn't mean it won't happen.

Thursday Beauty: Foot Scrub
Today I really wanted a pedicure but I don't have the money to go and get it done so I did myself. My feet feel so amazing right now!
Since it's summer, I'm always wearing my flats or my sandals and because of this my feet are being shown off daily and if they don't look good, I don't know what I would do. I don't want to wear sneakers during the summer unless I'm going for a run or a hike.
I found this foot scrub that I'm actually liking.
Sea Salt Foot Scrub:
6 tbsp. sea salt
4 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
Combine the ingredients a small jar with a lid and shake gently. You have to wait 48 hours before using it. I did find this a couple days ago so I could try it today. When those 48 hours are up, use the scrub in the shower with a wash cloth.
My thoughts:
I like it because it only had two ingredients. When I was done, I painted my toe nails a pretty red color. :)
Let me know if you tried it out. Or if you have a foot scrub you would like to share.

Normal? Not Even Close
A lot of people ask is this weird, or is this normal? A lot of people second guess themselves when thinking about doing something and I'm over here thinking I never thought it was weird. A lot of girls seem to question whether or not it's okay to have a guy over with family being around or if that would just be weird. But me, I just have a guy over anyway and my parents leave us alone. Of course I don't take him to my bedroom.
It seems to me that everyone just wants to be normal but I say to hell with normal and just do you want to do it. Just as long as it's legal of course. I mean what I think is "normal" isn't "normal" to other people.
I eat rice with almost every meal and when I go on vacation I think I need to make sure I have rice at some point during that vacation. I remember my Aunt telling me about going to my Uncle's parent's house for dinner before they were married. They were having spaghetti and my Aunt was looking all around the table and then she asked where's the rice? Not every family is going to have rice with their meal.
I'm tired of people asking is this normal, unless it's for medical reasons, because nothing is normal. Being normal is so overrated. I'm fine being that weird girl, not caring what others think, saying ridiculous things and laughing at myself. That's who I am and if more people thought the way I did, well the world would be chaos and we wouldn't want that now would we?
I'm just trying to say that normal isn't normal. It's okay to be different because if we were all the same the world be pretty damn boring so have a balance between chaos or boring.

A Week Later
A week ago I said I would start exercising and well that hasn't been happening exactly. Sure I'm out of the house and walking around more than I had been but I haven't done actual exercising and every day I keep saying I'll go for a run but I never do.
It's hard to be self motivated. But it's something I have to be. It's something we all have to be if we want to reach our goals.
I read somewhere to just do it.
Wake up at six in the morning, put on a baggy shirt and shorts and get out and run.
There are no more excuses for me to not run. So I will. Whether it be for just five minutes, I will run and I will exercise daily. Even if it is for five minutes exercise but thirty minutes is my goal.
I'm going to be healthy for me.

Friday: Anorexic; Getting to Know Over Facebook; Taller Than Him
Happy Friday! I'm hoping for a nice weekend with friends and family. If not then a weekend with family. :-)
Anonymous Asked:
Should I become Anorexic?
I am 5'6" and I weigh about 160lbs. I am sick of being overweight and sick of looking overweight. I can never seem to stick to a diet except one that involves eating almost nothing at all. Should I just let myself become anorexic? After all, it is easier to gain weight than lose it.
Dear Anonymous,
No don't let yourself become anorexic, and don't diet either. Change your eating habits and eat healthy. Diets don't work, anorexic can make you sick, but eating healthy can last you a lifetime.
Don't diet or go anorexic, change your lifestyle. Change the foods you eat, add exercising as part of your daily or weekly routine. Build it in with your lifestyle and you will lose the weight, a healthy way. It's better to be healthy than it is to be skinny and unhealthy.
No one can get their body healthy alone. Do research on whats healthy, what's not and maybe talk to a nutritionist. And remember you're not alone, if you need someone to talk to or to keep you motivated just ask me. Take care of yourself because you only get one body.

Thursday Beauty:DIY Microdermabrasion
Microdermabrasion is basically a way to exfoliate the outermost layer of dead skin. Each day a new layer of skin is "grown" and it's important to get rid of the dead skin. Yesterday, my friend introduced my to these Dead Sea Skin products that are amazing but cost way too much. I actually tried a sample of this product that actually got rid of dead skin and that area was just so soft.
As a college student, I honestly can't afford that so I decided to try out this DIY Microdermabrasion on my face. It only has two ingredients, baking soda and water. I used 1 1/2 tsp of Baking Soda and mixed it with 1/2 tsp of water. Then applied onto my face in a circular motion.
My thoughts:
I used this one time and after that time my skin was soft but had this drying feeling to it. I will have to try it again though to see real results and a noticeable difference. I will update though.

Brownie in A Mug!
I recently found a recipe for Brownie in a Mug. A while ago I posted Cake in a Mug which was really good but since I found this awesome recipe for Brownie in a Mug, I thought I would share it.
Ingredients:
2 TBS Cocoa
1/4 Cup Sugar
1/4 Cup Flour
A pinch of salt
2 TBS Vegetable Oil
3 TBS Water
Directions:
Mix dry ingredients together in the mug, I like to do it in a separate bowl. Then add in the Vegetable Oil and Water, mix until well combined. Put it in your favorite mug if it's not already and heat in the microwave on high for 1min and 40 seconds. Let it cool. Add some ice cream if you would like.

Motivate
Since school ended, well kind of, I've been eating a lot of junk food and sitting on my butt all day. Actually since the middle of June I've been eating so much chocolate, that it seems like I can't go a day without have some sort of chocolate. And so I eat all this unhealthy food and I don't exercise and I know this is not what I should be doing. But since I'm home, working on assignments, cleaning the house and just tired all the time, I have no motivation to be fit and get healthy. I want that to change though and we all know that we have to be the change we want to see because the mirror doesn't change for us. So instead of saying I'll workout tomorrow or I'll eat healthy tomorrow, I'm going to start when I say I'm going to start. I'm going to get healthy, I'm going to get the body I want and I'm going to keep the body I want.Friday, July 6, 2012

How do I handle these situations?
I know this sounds really bad but most of my boyfriends have already, well gone all the way. And this makes me feel really nervous, and that if I don't do it with them, I won't be good enough. But I'm way to young and totally not ready to go that far. What should I do? Any tips?
Dear Anonymous,
Don't do anything you're not ready for. If they don't want to be with you just because you haven't gone all the way or because you don't want to go that far with them then you honestly shouldn't be with them. There are respectful guys out there, be on the lookout for them.

Thursday Beauty Days?
Normally on Thursdays I write about the guys in my life and how much they've been a big part of who I am. But I think for the month of July, I will instead be posting a homemade beauty product from head to toe. I will be trying out my homemade beauty product and I will be giving feedback. Last year I had my own Spa Day and I really enjoyed that. Now I'm not only trying out these homemade ideas for my followers but for me as well. I've tried a lot over the years and I want to be able to remember them and look back on what helped me.
So this my plan for Thursdays, I will search and try out homemade beauty products like facials and hair masks and anything else that catches my eye when I browse through Pinterest. :) But for now I would just like to share my current favorite facial scrub that I use year round.

Know When to Fold Em'
I've currently been struggling with a couple friends on this topic of knowing when to let go of a relationship. It's come to my attention that even the smartest people don't make the best decisions when it comes to relationships. They constantly get hurt and then when the other person apologizes they forgive them.
For example, I have a friend who has been on and off with this girl for years. Whenever they get into a fight she tells him it's over because he annoys her. She finds it so much easier to break up with him in the middle of the argument then to work out the problem. If you find it easy to break up with someone during an argument, then you shouldn't be with them. If they keep threatening to breakup with you just because things you do aren't perfect then you shouldn't be with them. Relationships are about compromise, talking things out and listening to the other person. Meet in the middle. If you aren't able to do that then maybe the relationship should end.
