DIY and Lifestyle

Hey readers! Welcome back :) Today I'm going to be giving you some ideas of things to do this Summer.  I personally love summertime because it usually clears my schedule up a bit. But sometimes when that happens, I'm at a loss of what to do with my time.  So that's why I'm here to help you out a bit with a list of things you can do this Summer 2019.  I have tried each and every one  of these things already so this is 100% approved by me. :) Go on a Road Trip ! I've already done this, this summer already. My family and I drove out of the city to a beach house with a pool and spent a week there. I would highly recommend road tripping with family, friends, or even by yourself. Go to the beach (or lake). Depending on where you live in the world (because I have a wide variety of people from different countries that read this blog), I think it's important to go to a body of water this summer. It could be a beach, a lake, a pond, or even a pool if...

Hey Readers! Today I thought I'd be fun if I did a Summer Morning Routine. Since school stopped for the summer, my mornings have been completely different. I have a lot more time to myself in the morning and it's actually really nice and relaxing. I've also done some research about healthy habits to incorporate into your routine. I've added a few to my routine in the morning so that I can start my day off right. Okay, let's get into it. I usually wake up pretty early for a summer day and I'm not sure why. So around 7 am I get out of bed. I don't use an alarm I just wake up naturally with the light coming in from the windows. I go straight to the bathroom and wash my face. I also keep a water bottle in my room so I can start drinking that to start my hydration for the day.  Then I'll go downstairs and make myself some coffee. (And yes in the first picture my coffee looks SUPER light like I'm only drinking milk. But I'm prett...

Hey readers! Welcome back to the blog if you've been here before or if this is your first time then just welcome. It's currently 8:30 am when I'm writing this. I was going through my morning routine and trying to plan some posts to make for this blog. As you can see in the picture above I'm writing in my bullet journal (planner) and currently editing this post. Since summer has started for me about two weeks ago, I think I'll have more time to post on here. Haha, if I'm not too busy hanging out at the beach.  I also might be making a Summer Morning Routine post, just to show you guys how I start my day and get going.  We'll see if I can stay on track with making consistent posts.   Have a great day and I'll see you whenever I decide to post again. -Faith (decided to go by my real name instead of blogger girl)

(Real quick before we get into this post, I wrote this on May 3rd and I'm not posting it until now. I wasn't going to but then I decided I should. So here it goes.) Hey readers, It's been a while, I've been gone off of this website and to be honest, I didn't think I would come back. Something in me thought that if I walked away from this part of my life then it would disappear forever. I was wrong, this morning I had a sudden urge to take out my laptop and start typing out my thoughts and try to explain myself. I'm not even sure if I will publish this or just let it sit in my files with some of my other posts because I decided they were not good enough. I think I do that with aspects in my own life as well, I find something not good enough and I give up on it. Myself for example, if I'm feeling worthless and not good enough I give up on trying to be the best version of myself. So I lock myself away, give in to the negative thoughts and let myself beco...

Hey readers! :) Happy Friday! It is officially a new year, 2019! So sorry that I haven't posted in a couple weeks and this is the first time this year posting. Last time you heard from me, I was saying goodbye to 2018. I decided to take a couple weeks off of blogging so that I could start back into the school year and stay focused on some things before returning to posting. I can't say that I will be posting as much as I did in December but I'm going to try. It is so much easier to get posts up when I am on break. I would love to hear about how your year is going so far, so let me know in the comments! Alright, for my year so far it has been a lot. And I'm not going to go into detail about some things because they are pretty personal. But I started up school again and my basketball season started up again. If you didn't know, I play 3 different sports, soccer, volleyball, and basketball. But right now it is basketball season. Overall 2019 has been going good...

Hey readers! As you know, there are only a few days left of 2018... Maybe you are writing out your resolutions for the new year, or maybe you're gonna wing it and hope for the best, or maybe you're scared of a new chapter might be starting in your book. Wherever you are at with that, maybe you've got it right or wrong. I'm not so sure anymore. I always used to put everything in life into little boxes and try to keep my life as controlled and organized as possible. But now, as I get older, I am starting to see everything a bit differently than before. Why does everything have to be perfectly controlled by me? If something doesn't go how I think it will or something is different, should I really have a mental break down because I can't fix it? In this past year, I have grown up a bit. I've gone through some tough stuff. I have learned who I can trust and who is not a true friend. I have learned to accept the circumstances which I can not change. I have...

Hey readers! If you've been reading my posts for a while then you'll know that I have mentioned that I was going out of the city to a beach house with my family. I just got back from that vacation and I thought I would write about it for you guys so that you can kind of come along with me and my experiences. We left on Monday morning, packed up the car and drove. When we got there we each picked out our rooms in the house and went straight to the pool to relax. We also brought my dog, Daisy, with us. Every night I would run down to the ocean and see the sun set. It was amazing to see all the beautiful pastel colors shine through the sky and reflect off the calm sea. One morning, I woke up at 6 am, put on some pants and sweatshirt, then ran up to the roof of my beach house to lay down and look at the stars. I saw beautiful bright stars and the moon was as bright as ever. At about 6:30, I ran back inside and slide back into my warm bed and fell asleep. You may be thinking, 6:3...
