It's Wednesday! Tips and Tricks to Get You Through the Week

I haven't done one of these posts in a long long time, but I feel like I had to do one because I am feeling those "mid week blues." For me, it is finals week (ugh) and I have been studying like crazy. I pre-wrote some posts to put up this week, and I am quite impressed with myself. This is because I have been super busy this week, and still managed to post daily, even if they were prewritten. The irony here is that thew past few weeks when I wasn't as busy, I would have three or four day gaps in between posts!

So, it is Wednesday, I this is basically my life right now:

But, do not fear! My optimistic ways are here to cheer myself and anyone else who's feeling the mid-week blues up!

I mean, just look at the puppy!

This basically explains it all:

I also want to share something with you that I am going to take into consideration for the rest of the week: do something daring. Think about it: life really isn't all that fun when you do the same thing over and over again. Actually, in English class the other day we saw a quote about routine: "The greatest story ever told is one of travel. Life's journey is traveling, and always changing." or something like that. I interpreted it as routine gets boring, and we need to change it up a little in our lives, here are some ways to do that:

1. Wear a different hair style every day.

Try a braided topknot one day, a fishtail the next, a funnel cake bun, or beach waves!

2. Go treat yourself to something--you deserve it!

 For me, I know, getting Starbucks is a treat and only happens once every month or two months! Maybe I'll grab a coconut frappucino this weekend. What about you--mani/pedis? Shopping spree? Or just some ice cream?

3. Go to the Bath and Body Works Hello, Yellow! Sale!

This is a crazy sale, so much is marked down. Definitely check this out, I came home with so much stuff! (Haul in a few days...)

Alright, so I hope this post helped some of you get through the rest of the week. It's not too far from Friday, now! We can do it! Haha, well see you tomorrow!!!

It's Wednesday! We're Halfway There!

I decided to do another It's Wednesday! post because this morning I woke up and I was feeling really bad. I didn't want to go to school. I was super tired. I didn't look good. My hair wasn't cooperating. And I had a science test I didn't study for. Then, a few wonderful things happened:

1. My friend wrote me a note. She told me about how much she loves me and cherishes our friendship. This really touched me, and I started to feel better instanely.

2. A friend I was sorta/kinda close with told me my birthday. This may not seem such a big deal. Though, when you're having a bad day, and this friend who you aren't really close with says, "Hey Meg! You're birthday is in a few weeks!" it really brightens up your day to know someone cares and thinks about you.

3.  My English teacher threw away the period, and we watched comedians on YouTube. This was the highlight of my day.

So, I wanted to share my day with you guys, and encourage you to send some love and care towards another's way. Aristotle said, "Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a great battle."

Also, here's some pictures and quotes to cheer you up!

"It's never too late to be who you might have been." -George Elliot

“There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.” — Albert Einstein

“Laughter is the sensation of feeling good all over and showing it principally in one place.” – Josh Billings

“Get excited and enthusiastic about your own dream. This excitement is like a forest fire – you can smell it, taste it, and see it from a mile away.” – Denis Waitley

It's Wednesday! Tips and Tricks to Get You Through the Week

 Well, that was a long title, right? Haha, well lately I've been into happy things: is that weird? haha. Well, happy quotes, happy pictures: things that make me smile! So, my goal this week is to spread the love, and make strangers smile. So, here's some things to make you smile!

"Use your smile to change the world, don't let the world change your smile :)" -Unknown

"I believe in music the way some people believe in fairy tales." -Unknown

"I may not be there yet, but I'm closer than I was yesterday." -Unknown

"The best way to make your dreams come true is to wake up." -Paul Valery

Pamper yourself with this nice facial tonight! Quick and easy, using the things found in your kitchen!

You will need 1/3 cup of plain yogurt, 1 medium banana, and 1 tbs. honey. Mash up the banana, and combine with yogurt and honey until a paste forms. Apply this to your entire face, and don't forget your neck! Let this sit for 10-20 minutes. Then, rinse off with cold water. Your skin should feel moisturized and tight (but not dry!). Don't forget to apply your facial moisturizer after to lock in the moisture!

So, it's Wednesday, Friday is the day after tomorrow. We can get through the rest of this week. I challenge you all to wake up tomorrow, and "kill them with kindness!" Happy Wednesday!
