Ways to Relax This Year

1 / 13 / 171 / 12 / 17

Hello everyone! It’s so crazy to think that we are almost halfway through the school year already! I’m definitely very excited about that. I know we still have a few months but I’m looking forward to summer already! This year I told myself I’m going to try and be more organized and productive. While I do want to focus on staying on top of my school work, I also want to find ways to relax and not get so stressed out! Today’s post is about 20 different ways to relax and take time for yourself.  It’s definitely important to set aside timed to do things that make you happy. A lot of these ideas are really simple and easy, because it really doesn’t take much to have a little time for yourself. Some of these tips I’ve tried and have worked really well for me, and the rest of them I’m looking forward to testing out!

The Friday Five

9 / 9 / 16

Hello everyone! Who’s excited for the weekend? I definitely am, I don’t have any meets or games this weekend and I can relax and catch up on some other things I need to get done. This week seemed like it went by super fast since we got Labor Day off. If only every week could go by this quick! I’ve been doing a lot of training for cross country since the season has finally begun and we are getting into the routine of practices and meets and recovery. I actually had to take an ice bath the other day to help heal my shins, and it was SO COLD! As I said before, I’m so glad for the weekend, so let’s just get started with my favorite links!

Lunch Ideas for Back to School

8 / 24 / 168 / 24 / 16

I always bring my lunch to school, but there are some mornings I have absolutely no idea what to bring and I’m rushing so I end up throwing some random, unhealthy things into my lunchbox. This year I want to go ahead and have a bunch of options in mind so that I can already have an idea of what I can take for lunch each day! I’m going to try to be healthier this year and not turn to the junk food options when I’m hungry. This post is about healthy lunch options for back to school!

Planner Picks 2016

8 / 1 / 16

Hello everyone! I know it has been forever since my last post, and I’m super sorry about that! I have been really busy lately because ever since I got back from camp, I have been trying to get all of my summer reading and assignments done before school starts back. I start August 8, which is so soon! I’m not looking forward to going back to school at all, but one thing I am looking forward to is my new agenda arriving! I just ordered it, and I cant wait to get it! If you are looking at different agenda options and haven’t gotten one yet, I would recommend it. It really helps keep you organized, something that I’m going to try to do a lot better at this school year! Below are a few of my favorite planners, enjoy!

Having a Healthy Night Routine

4 / 6 / 164 / 6 / 16

Hello everyone! Today’s post is about having a healthy night routine. Sometimes my nights can get so busy and stressful if they are filled with homework and practices and preparing for the next day. It can get to be ten or eleven o’clock before I even go to sleep, and then the next morning I wake up tired and groggy. Recently I’ve (kinda) been able to manage my work and get all of my homework done before it gets too late, so I can relax the rest of the night. Here are a few tips and tricks you can try to have a better night routine.

The Friday Five

1 / 15 / 163 / 8 / 16

This week, I was very busy with school and soccer. I’ve had tests, quizzes, worksheets, notes and soccer games all week long! I am so glad it’s almost the weekend and I have some time off. One of the best parts is that my grandmother will be spending the entire weekend with us! I can’t wait to spend some time with her, and I’m sure we will do something fun! Looking back at this crazy week of school, there were a few things I just absolutely loved. The Friday Five consists of: my favorite clothing, shoes, or accessory of the week, a song, a bible verse, book, and a random item that I was obsessed with.

Christmas Is Coming- Now What?

11 / 29 / 159 / 21 / 16

There’s less than a month until Christmas 2015! How exciting is that? Time sure has gone by fast, and hopefully these next few weeks of school will zip by. Then, it’ll finally be time for family, travel, presents, and fun this holiday! Read on to discover how to get ready for the upcoming season. If this won’t get you in the holiday spirit, I don’t know what will!

1. Make a Christmas List. No surprise there. Making a Christmas list of all of your most- wanted items is a must. This year, make it a bit more fun. Make a Pinterest board of your wishlist, that way you can have the links and pictures to everything you want. It’s easy to send the link to family and friends if they need any ideas. It’s also fun to make lists on what you’re going to get everyone else in your family. Having everything neat and organized makes it all the more enjoyable.Screen Shot 2015-11-25 at 5.39.13 PM
