Writers Block

Hey Guys!

Well if you've noticed I didn't post anything last week, partly because summer school started up, and another reason being that I just don't have many ideas. If you just so happened to stumble across my blog, and you like what I post please give me some ideas to blog about, I started this blog because it seemed like fun, but now that I don't have many topics to write about I'm feeling kinda bummed out. so please write in the comments and give me some ideas!

Thanks in advance,

Kelsey

Getting Healthy!

Hey Guys!

This summer I've started a goal of trying to get in shape. The most in shape I've ever been was my freshman year of high school when I was on the softball team. I only played for a year, but by the end of the season I could at least run a mile. I'm now a sophomore in college and all I can run is probably a quarter of a mile without stopping, I wish I was joking.

This summer I plan to do something about it, I've already been eating healthy, which is the most important part but I also wanted to help speed up the process. So I joined a gym! I had my first workout last week and it was pretty horrible at the time but I felt better afterwards. I'm not trying to get skinny, I think that if thats anyone's goal then they should probably rethink things. The main reason why I want to start working out is to get healthy. There has been so much sickness around me and I feel most of it is from people not taking good care of themselves. In college, its easy to just go pick up some fast food on the way to and from school, and study and sleep. The freshman 15 is real! Believe me. i'm still dealing with it. But overall I just want to feel good. So here are some tips i've heard from others that I want to share with you

• Drink lots of water
• water is the most important thing the body needs, about 70% of an adult body is made up of water. You lose water when you breathe, sneeze, sleep, etc. So it's super important to rehydrate yourself. You should drink at least 8 cups of water each day.
• Get enough sleep!
• try to get at least eight hours of sleep every night. Your metabolism won't work properly if you don't get the recommended amount of sleep. and who doesn't like sleeping?
• Do not eat late at night
• I suffer from acid reflux so I can't eat late anyways, but even if you don't suffer from that, it is advised that you not eat late at night. Eating late does lead to weight gain, so try to stop eating after 7!
• Try to cut out fast food
• this is going to be the hardest thing for me, its so convient for me. firstly, I dont like to cook and secondly getting fast food is so convenient, but hopefully i'll be able to do this. Fast food is definitely not healthy for you, one of the major things that is bad about fast food is the salt intake, all that salt will bloat you up! So try to stay away from it. There are other negatives by eating fast food, I suggest you watch the documentary Super Size Me by Morgan Spurlock.

These are some of the tips that i've heard from people, hopefully some of you guys will take heed to some of these tips. Put some of the tips you've heard in the comments below!

Review: The Body Shop Tea Tree Face Mask

Hey Guys!

It's a rainy day today, the perfect weather to do a review for you! Today I'm gonna review a product that I haven't heard much about, but apparently its one of the most popular items you can get from The Body Shop. I purchased the Tea Tree Face Mask about a month ago and it's already become a staple in my face routine.

One of the things I love most about the mask is how lightweight it is. You can put on a lot of the product but it wont feel too heavy on your face, I dont suggest using a lot of product though. The next thing I love about it, is the fact that its easy to take off. Now I haven't tried a lot of masks but with the few that I have tried it was a pain in the butt to take off. This mask is different, all you do is rinse it off like you're washing off a face wash.

The Body Shop claims that the mask removes impurities, absorbs excess oil, and soothes skin, and I believe it lives up to what
it claims. When you first put the mask on, there is a burning sensation that can be intense, but its worth it! Your skin feels so refreshed and clean once you take the mask off. The smell can also be a turn off, it was for me at first, but I can't say it enough, THE MASK IS WORTH IT!!

Overall, so far this is the best mask I've ever tried. If you have problematic skin I would HIGHLY suggest that you give this mask a try. The mask is $15.50 on The Body Shop Website, but is currently 25% off when this blog goes live! so hurry up and grab it while its on discount!

#prayforBoston

Today I just wanted to talk about my thoughts on the Boston bombing. 3 people were murdered, and a policeman was also killed last night. So many bad things have happened this week, and it's times like these when we start to count our blessings. That bombing could've taken place anywhere, and we are blessed to see another day. I don't really have much to say on this, but I hope everyone reading this post has a lovely weekend and just keep the people of Boston in your thoughts and prayers.

REVIEW: L'Oreal Telescopic Shocking Extensions Mascara

For my first review, I'm going to talk about the Telescopic Shocking Extensions Mascara. I've heard mixed reviews about this mascara, and I was hoping for the best. One of my favorite mascaras from all time is the Telescopic Carbon Black Mascara.  I used to wear it all the time in high school, and I even received compliments on my eyelashes while wearing it. So when i heard about the Telescopic Shocking Extensions Mascara I was instantly excited to go and try it out for myself.

Here's the thing...it doesn't even come close to the Carbon Black Mascara. So im highly disappointed in my purchase. Don't get me wrong, the Shocking Extensions Mascara is not the worst mascara i've ever tried but it also wasn't the best. The Shocking Extensions Mascara didn't lengthen my eyelashes at all, they looked like the same length they were before i even put the Mascara on. The brush was the same type of brush the Carbon Black Mascara had and on both makeup items the brush was hard to work with. The Shocking Extensions formula was very clumpy, so you had to put in an extra amount of work to keep your lashes seperated. the best thing about this mascara is that if you have enough patience it does give your eyelashes good definition.

Overall this mascara is okay, I've tried worse mascaras before, but this was a major letdown from the Carbon Black Mascara. I like my eyelashes to look very long, and I didn't get what i was looking for in this mascara. Please comment below and let me know your favorite mascaras!

I really don't know what I'm gonna do with this blog, but I'm excited to start this new adventure (that sounds so corny haha). I'm into beauty and fashion so i'm pretty sure i'll post about that stuff, but im also into technology so there maybe a few geeky posts as well. But i guess i'll start off with a few random facts about myself, first off i'm a 19 year old college sophomore, i love to read, reading is one of my favorite things to do, i love everything from girly teenage books to action packed series. i also love youtube, i dont know exactly why i've become so hooked on it but i am. and lastly i love hanging out with my friends, which i havent been doing a lot of lately and that makes me sad. I'm so excited to see what the future holds with me and this blog, i want to learn more about myself while learning more about others. Thanks for checking out this blog!
