Life


Life throws many things at you, and I don’t mean lemons! To me life throws challenges, obstacles and lessons to learn at people. The main reason is to see if you can handle them or not. Life is all about taking risks, but a few years ago I was not trying to hear that. As a sixteen year old high school I guess was preparing me for the “real world” … but that is not true. Teachers would tell us that they are preparing us for the reality of life, maybe for college and needing an education and getting a job but, that is only the basics of life. They never got into details about what exactly we need to be prepared for. For example, they didn’t tell us that we would encounter mean people; they didn’t tell us society would judge us for being ourselves, nor did they tell us that life was hard.

I always thought that society painted an image of how we all should act or what we all should look like and I found out that I was right. Teachers prepared us for the reality of school and jobs not the reality of how people treat other or what to expect. For me even before high school I did not like to take risks, because I was to scare. I will admit it I am still scared to take risks, but I have started to. I am 21 years old and I will admit that I do have some regrets. There not major regrets just minor like: going to sports games at my school. I did not really find them interesting but just being with friends and experiencing the games together. 

 There was a point when I didn’t like school (I’m pretty sure all of us had that feeling). Sometimes it would be people in the halls just acting silly or mean and I didn’t even know them. I didn’t have the patience for it and I was getting tired. Maybe it was because of the atmosphere, because I have been there for almost four years and I was about to graduate… I honestly do not know. Enough about that, all I am saying is that, no matter how much you try to prepare for the “read world” you do not really know what to expect. So when I hear the saying “When life throws you lemons” I just think to myself and say that would be too easy. I am sure you’re thinking why? The reason is if life is throwing you lemons that means that the same problems and challenges are being thrown. 

 Now how can you learn and grow if you’re being thrown the same lesson that you’ve already been taught?

    That's so true! Great post. There should be a subject called "life lessons" or something like that, although you never know what life brings x

Helpful Posts/Sites For Bloggers

Being a blogger is not easy at all, whether it's a hobby or a job. Every blogger works so hard to put out quality work. But sometimes it can be a struggle. While in a blogging rut I came across a lot of posts that have helped me gain confidence. These posts also helped me realize my creativity; all I needed to do was use my noggin! But before you click on the links below, I'm going to explain what these links mean to me. I don't want to bore you but I'm hoping these will help you too.   Everytime I get into a blogging rut I always look at my blog design. Thinking that the design I have is always the problem, I go and I spend money to change it. In reality the major problem was myself. Now don't get me wrong, designs I've had were beautiful it just wasn't for me. During my long "break" or breakdown I did a lot of searching. I'm pretty sure you all heard of Etsy, am I right? This is where I found two shops that have helped me tremendous...

My Top 5 Current Beauty Favorites!

  I'm not one who has a lot of favorite products, but when I do it's worth sharing. Call me boring, but I'm someone who follows all the trends. Half of the time I don't even buy products that are "most known" or "popular". At the moment I have a handful of products I'm really loving. I'm a picky person when it comes to a lot of things, but these products are great to use. If you are on a budget these products are very affordable and they definitely don't disappoint!   Swissco Detangle Brush I love this detangler brush, it works great on my hair. Although I found this at Marshalls you can find online as well. Both prices are $6! That's very affordable in my opinion, compared to brushes that cost double. You can use this on wet and dry hair. I've tried both and it works very good. When it's time to twist or braid my hair I will use this brush. Most importantly I will use this brush before washing my hair and during th...

E.l.f. Eye Brushes

Although this haul is very small, I just wanted to share with you what I brought. I decided to buy brushes, because I needed them more! The first brushes I were eco-friendly and were really good, but their were more face brushes, then eye brushes. So that wasn't really helpful to me. It was only one eye shadow brush. I rarely shop online, I always go to the store. But I was bored one day and I guess this is what happened! I am really excited to try these brushes! I also brought some things from BH cosmetics, but that's for another post! Eye Shadow Brush The eye shadow brush is supposed to help apply the eye shadow evenly and make it easier. This sounds good, because the brushes I used in the past were tough and hard. It seemed like I had to put a lot of eye shadow on, before it actually showed up on my eyes. Blending Eye Brush This brush is supposed to blend the eye shadows, while softening dramatic edges and lines. This is really good, because before I h...
