Life Update: Stress Causes Sickness

Sometimes you think you can handle it, the stress of life. And then, out of no where, our body says "Nope!' and then we actually have to slow down and listen to our body before we crash and burn. Well, I didn't listen to my body. And now I have crashed and burned. I worked an extremely long past 2 weeks, so much so that I didn't even really blog that much or see my boyfriend (who I live with) that much. See the issue here? 

So what happens? Life caught up with me. All of the stress finally came around and slapped me across my head and now I'm sick. To start off the sick weekend/week though, Last Friday, I was pulled over by a State Trooper at 3am, blew a tire at 4am, and had to replace 3 tires at 7am. Then I had to take my car in to have 1 of the 3 recalls it has on it fixed. Friday was an excellent way to start my illness.

And now, full blown sneezing, coughing, and congestion. I'm living on soup, Mucinex, and tea. Oh, can't forget the OJ and Emergen-C either!

Beauty Basics: Spa Day at Home

As much as I would love to go to the spa every week and have a delightful day of relaxation, that just doesn't happen. So I've turned to making my own spa day at home! Every week, typically on a Monday or Tuesday, I take a couple of hours to my self and relax. I do face masks, hair treatments, and all sorts of things to help me relax. So today, I'm going to show you my favorite products for a relaxing spa day at home.

College: Spring Break - Your Top 5 Destinations

Even though I'll be stuck at home for spring break, doesn't mean you have to be! Only once have I gone somewhere "spring break worthy" before, and that was on a cruise with B during my senior year of high school. While at FSU, I found that coming home for spring break was actually pretty nice. I live in a beach town, and we all go to the beach for spring break anyways, so why go somewhere else? After doing some research I came across an article on U.S. News Travel noting the top 11 spring break destinations. I'm only showing you the top 5, but to read the entire article, click here!

My New Year's Resolutions

Every year I make new (or repeating) resolutions that normally end up vanishing around March. But this year, I've come up with five measurable resolutions that I'm very confident that I can stick to! 

new years, NYE, resolutions, keeping resolutions, yoga, book collection, college, education, health, weight loss

How can I measure each of these resolutions? I'll tell you how!

1. I've made a list of all the books I own, that I haven't read yet. Once I finish reading one, it will come off the list. Once my list is gone, I've completed my resolution! 

2. There are plenty of fitness trackers out there on the internet that allow you to, well, track what you do each day. I like to write mine done on my calendar. Being able to see it every morning will remind me that I need to do yoga. Once I've finished my workout, I'll put a check next to the task. 

3. Now I'm pretty good when it comes to school, but last semester, even though I got all A's, I felt very unorganized. This semester, I plan to keep a better handle on my assignments and not wait until the last minute to study. This can be measured by what my teacher posts in the online grade book. 

4. I get an email from Bloglovin' everyday telling me about my daily feed. Do I look at it? Maybe once every two weeks. But then I just end up passing over some really good blog posts that I should have read! Now to measure this, instead of deleting the email right away, I won't delete it until I've read through my daily feed. If my emails start to pile up, I know I've gotten behind! 

5. This is by far the most important resolution on my list. As far as I know, and my doctor hasn't gone into much detail yet, it's an autoimmune thyroid disorder. So, once we figure out the true problem, we can work on the solution. This can be measured by how much my overall health improves. 

What are your New Year's resolutions?

How do you stick to them and keep track?
