When Life Happens

Hello Fellow Viewers,
   I hope everyone is refreshed and ready to start the new week with a positive attitude. So, I was a little stumped on what to write about because my mind is racing in twenty different directions. Between end of the year deadlines, my portfolio being due, group projects, my internship, graduation, and committing to full-time with my job, I can't seem to get a firm grip on anything. In other words, life is happening and I am stumped on where or what to begin with.  But even when life is in full swing and about to over flow, I never allow myself to be distracted from the things that make me happy.  For instance, no matter how busy I am, I always face-time my best friends from home, Francesca and Rachel, and either call or text my parents to let them know I am alive and well. I am also a huge, huge, HUGE Netflix fan and I am extremely proud of my collection of television shows, so I always make time to keep up on the latest seasons or episodes. I have mentioned previously that fitness is huge part of my life, and two hours everyday is strictly left for me to burn off some steam at the gym. Lastly, I take time in taking care of myself.  What I mean by that is clearly through what I consume, but also what I use on my skin and hair.  I am a nut when it comes to using products on my skin and hair and the chemicals that are within the products. I am a lover of the Lush products, because everything is hand-made with natural ingredients and each product states who made it, on what date and what time, so I know the product is fresh. I use a morning/day face wash and face lotion, and a night face wash/lotion for when my body is repairing itself.  On my skin I use coconut oil, so my skin absorbs natural ingredients rather than the chemicals used within in body lotions.  I also use coconut oil in my hair. I use bare mineral make-up and I never go to bed with my make up on.  By taking just a little time out of my day to pamper my body in the way it properly needs, I feel so much healthier and happier.  It's a nice stress reliever. So if you are currently extremely over whelmed with school, stop what you are doing, put the phone and laptop down and go take a hot shower and pamper yourself for half an hour. You will feel so refreshed and get more things accomplished, while feeling rejuvenated. My point is to never let yourself stop from doing the things you love and stop taking care of yourself. No matter how busy you may be, keeping yourself happy and healthy is the most important thing.
