It's Friday! I made it a whole week with blogging Monday thru Friday! I just finished watching Dolphin Tale for the second time and it's a beautiful story. I was trying really hard not to cry. Now before I forget I just want to wish everyone a Happy Lunar New Year! It's the year of the Horse! I am a horse born in 1990 so I'm looking forward to this Chinese New Year. Anyway, onto the advice.

Everyday during volleyball we have to get partners and do our exercises
and warmups. It's day three so we just started. The problem is there are so
many groups of best friends and I have no friends on the team. Half of the team is made up of a group of snotty popular girls who I can't stand,
they are usually pretty rude to me and I don't know why. The rest of the girls I
don't know. I tried to be friends with the nice ones but they seem to
shut out anyone who isn't part of their group, that's how they all are. When we
are told to partner up I try but there's no chance for me because the
best friends automatically pick each other and I'm always left alone to
be partnered with a helper because we have an odd team. I try asking to
be partners but they always ignore me and I don't know why.
I told my mom and she told me to try and talk to them, but they usually
talk about other people I don't know. I tried
everything that people have told me and I always try to be kind to them
and smile. I don't know what else I can do.
I can't quit because two already did and if anyone else does we can't have
a team. I really like the playing part but I feel so lonely. I don't know what else to try, help?
Dear Anonymous,
Maybe you could try inviting the team for a get together at your house
or some place. Talk to the coach and figure out how the whole team can
bond together, get to know each other outside of their own groups and
maybe you'll be able to talk to the other girls and have them get to
know you as well. I remember growing up, I was never really on any
sports teams but my cousin was, and she always had sleepovers with her
teammates. It was a way for them to bond and to also get to know each
other.

Thursday Beauty: January Makeup Favorites
The year has just started and so much has already happened. In the beginning of the month I had been so busy with work and it was not fun at all. If you can avoid working retail I suggest doing so because it's no picnic. I love cliche expressions. Anyway, I don't really wear makeup daily but on the days that I did there were some products that I used all the time.
I am a huge Benefit Cosmetic fan, I've been using their products since I was 16. I would go to Macy's and stop at the Benefit counter to get my makeup done for school dances and they did an amazing job. There was one girl who always did my makeup for a couple years. She was then relocated to a different Macy's after I graduated of course. She was so sweet and always knew how I wanted to look. Anyway, for awhile I didn't buy makeup from Benefit because it was too expensive since I had to start paying for my own makeup. Growing up problems; I have to pay for myself.

Yeah, I want to know where you go when you're going

You can try to save me if you're crazy

Monday Thoughts: A Single Soul Dwelling In Two Bodies
"What is a friend? A single soul dwelling in two bodies." ~Aristotle
Last night my best friend texted me asking why he is my best friend because for the past month he hasn't been around a lot. He openly admitted that he is a shitty best friend. I agreed with him but I also assured him that he's my best friend for a reason. That reason being he's the only one I feel comfortable telling things to without stopping myself. I open up to him and it's hard for me not to tell him how I feel when he asks. Or even when he doesn't ask, I tell him because he wants me to and he likes that I am comfortable enough to tell him.

Friday Advice: Choosing the Right Guy; Long Distance; What To Say
This morning I woke up with a notice from YouTube that my favorite YouTuber, Justin James Hughes posted a new video. If you haven't seen any of his videos then you should be sad about your life because he brings my life so much happiness and laughter. I seriously smile when I see he has new videos. I am a Fan Girl for Justin James Hughes; I get so happy when he replies to me on Twitter. I will put his Self Confidence video after all my advice is given. Also I would just like to apologize to anyone who actually reads my blog post for not posting in such a long time. I just feel like I'm not in a good place in my life right now so I have been exploring my mind. I have a bunch of notebooks in my room to write down all my thoughts that just need to get out of my head. I will write more about it on Monday though. Onto my advice. Also, Happy New Year!
Anonymous Asked:
I really liked this guy at the beginning but we went to lunch and then he talked all the time he wouldn't let me talk and it drives me crazy, also he talks with his mouth food. When I'm around him I'm not myself what so ever and it drives me crazy. If you asked him what my dislikes and likes are he wouldn't be able to tell you. Also he never texts, calls, or messages me on Facebook. He doesn't walk me to class. Also I have to pay for a dance ticket and I paid for most of the lunches we have had together.
Dear Anonymous,
It doesn't seem like you believe that you made the right choice by going out with him. Sure, every guy has their flaw or there's something about them we find unattractive or annoying. But with the right guy, we can look pass their flaws and accept them. It seems to me, by the way you wrote this, there's a certain tone to it that has a feeling of annoyance. Like I can tell by reading it that this guy's actions are annoying you. You seem to already know that this guy isn't the right guy to go out with.

Thursday Beauty: Brown Sugar Scrub
It's been awhile since I've done a Thursday Beauty post so I thought because I recently tried this DIY Brown Sugar Scrub, I'd share it with my readers or just keep the recipe handy for myself when I run out. I found this scrub while I was looking for something to stop my feet from cracking because they had been so dry since it's so cold in Seattle these last few weeks.
All you need is two ingredients; 1 cup of Brown Sugar and 1/4 cup of Coconut Oil.
Brown sugar is a great exfoliate, not only is it cheap but it's gentler and softer than a salt scrub. I realized that as I was showering that the brown sugar didn't feel as hard as when I would use sea salt to exfoliate.
Coconut Oil is also great to keep your skin moisturized. It's actually better than your lotion. It's natural and keeps a deep moisture on your skin. It also helps to remove dead skin cells. So the combination of brown sugar and coconut oil is an ideal one.
The other day, after showing and using the scrub, I noticed my skin smelled brown sugary sweet. It wasn't a big whiff of a scent, it's barely noticeable but it does make you smell really sweet. Talk about being made out of sugar and spice.
The brown sugar scrub could last you awhile as it is good for three months. Perfect for the winter season!

That moment you find out that someone you love or care about passed away, it's the most confusing feeling ever. When I heard my Grandpa had passed away, tears automatically came streaming down my face and I could just feel my heart breaking. As soon as my Dad turned into my grandparent's neighborhood we saw the firetruck and police cars, we parked at the neighbor's house and I ran to my Grandparent's house. He was in the backyard, laying on the deck and I didn't want to to go see him. I wasn't ready to see him so lifeless and I wasn't ready to do it on my own. After I told my Mom that Grandpa had passed away, the first person I wanted to call was Kenny but something was holding me back, and instead I called my cousin Aaron instead.

Monday Thoughts: Build Friendships
I recently just turned 23 and it hit me, some of my friends are getting engaged, married or having babies and I'm just trying to figure out myself and keep in touch with my friends.
I think maybe I'm the kind of person who really needs to know who is going to be there during hard times and who is going to bail. It's hard enough to find friends that will last a lifetime but to find one person who wants to be your life for all of it can be even tougher.

Friday: Virginity; Music Speaks; Boyfriend Won't Speak To Mom
It's Friday advice night! I haven't done this in so long and apologize to anyone who actually reads my blog and misses my advice. I've been busy and now I believe I'll have more time to blog regularly like I use to, Monday through Friday. No promises.

Is it bad that I don' care that I lost my virginity?
I always said I would save myself until marriage, but then over the summer I wound up losing it to my boyfriend at the time, and to be honest, I didn't even really like him that much (I mean I did, but no where close to love). It wasn't special or romantic or anything like that either.. so maybe that's why I don't really care, I dunno. I just always see people who go on about how having se.x for the first time is such a huge deal, and it just wasn't like that to me. I barely even think about it anymore to be perfectly honest, and it only happened back in June. The majority of people are like, oh I regret losing my virginity when I did, etc. But I seriously could just care less. I don't really have any feelings about what happened and I feel like that's really terrible though that I don't, is it? I mean after having it I really don't understand why people do wait until marriage to tell you the truth, because it's just sex. I guess it's special when it's with someone you love and everything, but still, it's nothing that spectacular. Am I wrong for thinking this way?
Dear Anonymous,
There's sex and there's making love. I think you don't regret losing it because you weren't making love you were just having sex with a guy you didn't even really like so of course it doesn't seem special to you. But you make love that's when it's worth waiting for, when you make love it is so much more passionate than sex.
You're not wrong to think the way you are thinking, we all have our own thoughts when it comes to sex. That's just my thought on why you might be feeling a little confused on why you don't think it's nothing special.

Monday Thoughts: My Grandpa
I'm not very religious. I haven't read the bible but I was baptized Catholic. I go to Church on Christmas, Easter and some Sundays. I believe in God, Heaven, and Hell. But sometimes I question my faith. The last two and a half weeks I've been so lost. My grandpa passed away on July 10th of this year. I remember every detail that happened that day like it was yesterday. Although it wasn't very long ago, I can still hear my uncle's voice over the phone saying that my Grandpa had died.

Where Have I Been?
I have not written for a few months now and I don't know why because every day I tell myself I'm going to write a blog post but I don't. I've had time to write, I just chose not to. I didn't feel motivated enough to write. But today, I opened up my blog, read it, and began reflecting on what had happened over the years. My writing is not that great and that's okay because who reads this besides me? No one!
So where have I been? Home and work and home and work. That's my life at the moment, going back and forth between home and work. I haven't really been socializing. I honestly don't know why but my friends are starting to annoy me. I don't want to talk to them or see them most of the time. But it's making me feel lonely. I like to be alone but I hate that lonely feeling.
I don't know why I'm randomly posting today. It just feels good to write again. I won't be able to post next week because I will be on a cruise and I will have limited access to the internet. I won't be bringing my laptop for this trip. Let's see if I can go almost a week without my laptop though. I hope to blog tomorrow --Friday-- with the usual Friday Advice but I won't make any promises.

Monday Thoughts: Voice Crush
Lately I've been watching The Good Wife. For those who don't know what the show is about, it's basically about a wife who sticks by her husband's side after a public scandal. She also goes back to working as a lawyer after thirteen years of being a stay at home mom. The show follows her struggles at work and outside of work. I love the show, I'd have to say it's my new favorite right now.

Is this relationship over?
I have been in a deep relationship with my boyfriend for the past five years. On Sunday night he told that he wasn't in love with me anymore and he was crying as he said it. We have a long history together and times have been really stressful lately. But I need to hear it, is this relationship over?
Dear Anonymous,
I can't tell you yes or no but I can tell you that even though he may not be in love with you, he still in a way loves you. And he loved you enough to be honest with you. The relationship, the boyfriend and girlfriend part of the relationship is possibly over but the friendship part isn't.

Thursday Beauty: Beauty Tips
I will be honest I don't wear makeup on a daily basis. But over the years I've read up on makeup, some do's and don'ts of the trade and there were some tips that have I have learned over the years.
1. Use makeup is to enhance your features. If you love your eyes then enhance them. If you love your lips then show them off.
2. Don't hide behind your makeup. Confidence doesn't come from how good you look on the outside, it comes from how good you feel inside. No amount of makeup can cover up an ugly heart.
3. Foundation is for women over 30. This may seem mean and possibly stupid but I remember reading in an article that foundation should be used for woman over 30 so use a tinted moisturizer or BB Cream to help even out your skin tone if you need to. But if you love your foundation and don't want to leave it then continue to wear it because it is up to you.
4. Less is more for the day. A simple makeup look during the day is perfect and doesn't require much time.
5. Protect yourself from the sun. Wear sunscreen or anything with SPF15 or higher is good and don't forget to protect those lips as well.

Run and jump into your truck, hit the gas, burn some rubber up

There are many times when I've wanted to pack up and leave. There were times when I wanted to pick up my phone and call the one person I know who would take me away from my problems. The thing is, I know I can't run away from my problems because my problems will still be there when I get back. So there's no point in running away from something. However there is a point to running to something.

Monday Thoughts: Rambling
Over the weekend I kept thinking that some people forget that others have feelings as well. Sometimes we all get caught up in how we feel that we forget to think about how the other person or the people around us might be feeling. I keep thinking that people are forgetting how I feel, as selfish as that may sound right now, I feel lost without the people I care about, or the people who I at least thought cared about me too.
They say people put up walls to see who will try to knock them down and right now no one seems to be knocking down the walls I've put up. Everyone is doing their own thing, living their own life and I feel like I'm being left out. I like being alone but I hate being lonely. And that's how I feel right now, I feel lonely and lost like no one is there for me when all I did was be there for them.
I know that they all have their own lives and I understand that because I have my own life too but that doesn't mean I don't have time for my friends.
