Always inspired

So I am always looking to recycle or reuse anything I have . This has led to piles of junk. However I came across a pin on Pinterest and put it into action. I am using old big t shirts and revitalizing them into scarves.

Make do with what you have

Did you know by simple cutting tape you could make a quick and easy design like I've done here!

Just remember to let the first coat of nail polish dry for 10 mins and put the tape on the back of your hand to remove some of the stickiness.
If you have a pair if scissors that cuts designs then you could also do a cute fun pattern :]

Mock Potato Salad

So as you can see instead of potatoes I used cauliflower which is a great alternative and much more healthy. Not to mention that the texture is surprisingly similar








1. What you want to do first is boil your cauliflower and keep an eye on it because it can easily overcook and it will not be the way you want it. You want to be able to pierce it with your fork and it should go in easily.

2. Remove and cool

3. Next you want to cut up the other ingredients such as: pickles, carrots, red onions, celery and anything else you want to add.
4. Now add mayo (light), a tad of mustard, and paprika (optional)
ENJOY!
This is definitely easy; quick and healthy.
I loved it!

Truly Lovely

I honestly can't tell you how happy it makes me when a random person smiles at me. I know I know it sounds creepy but when I am driving and then someone just smiles when I look over it just feels as if I had done something right and it puts me in such a good mood.

I think it's sort of the good deed to do in a day. I think everyone should push themselves to smile more at complete strangers and not to hold a frown. Smiling not only helps others to get happiness but tricks your own body into producing the "happy go lucky" hormones that we all want. So smile.

It's so simple yet so powerful

What Inspires Me

I never would have thought that Pinterest would inspire me so much but it has... truly
Whenever I feel a bit unmotivated or craving fries I just click on the fitness section and voila! instant fix :]

Here are just a couple pictures that I actually save to my phone for quick reference. I do know that to do anything you must be motivated or inspired to do it first.. So be inspired.. by anything and everything

Killer Legs

Yesterday was Intense!
I am proud of myself for running longer than I ever have and the whole time kept on saying "don't give up, don't give up... just a little more". Towards the end I convinced myself that my evil twin sister was trying to kill me so I pushed on.

Today, I am sore and it feels great to know that I pushed myself but I can barely move. I am doing a butt challenge and dear lord it is a challenge.
So instead of torturing myself again.. I'll just take my dogs for a walk and then do abs if I can.
In other news I recently have went back in time.. about 10 years. I found someone from my elementary school and we've been talking back and forth about life changes, jokes and memories. It's really cool to get a blast from the past and it's amazing how many things the two of you can recall from back then.

I just remember how different I was back then and how I was just boy crazy ( I know I am not the only one)



The Past: it's so easy to lose people there and so hard to forget

Renewing

I am today taking that step forward and renewing my old promises for myself (might have to be an everyday thing).

I was just talking to my boyfriend about how I recently saw something saying "don't reward yourself with food, you're not a dog"
It made me laugh and then realize that I love food so much. This battle I am having to lose weight isn't something easy and I never thought it would be but I've come to another realization that it's a life commitment. I can't just go back to eating everything in sight like I want to.

My reward is new clothes and hopefully clothes from Forever 21. Right now I can't fit into much of anything (I'm not talking about the plus sizes). The regular sized things I can't fit into and the smallest sizes in plus sizes are too big! I'm stuck right in the middle. I hate the feeling of my arms not moving in shirts because it's too tight around my fatty arms.

So that is it! I will not let my fat or fries keep me from beautiful clothes :]. Honestly it's also keeping me from self confidence and I want to be healthier. So yes I am doing it for a material reason and a personal one.

Today I am going to peel myself away from my room, tie up my running shoes and go jogging..

Jogging isn't hard for me it's the everyday thing that gets me.

However if it's a challenge then you know it's worth it

Hello Blog I made it back just in time.

I had almost completely forgotten about you, thank God something reminded me. So the past night I watched Pyscho for the first time and was a little creeped out when I fell asleep that was until I had my niece throw up next to my head (ewww) yes and it was disgusting I nearly threw up myself.

And now it is raining.. It seems that I am having a down day but I'm not I love the sound and smell of the rain. The tapping on leaves is the best part. I think I am either trying to come into a new chapter in my life or it's happening on my own. One of those moments in life where you realize that some things do not matter as much and figure out what you should really be caring about. I read something very recently that said "People are often unreasonable, illogical and self-centered. Forgive them anyway. If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish motives. Be kind anyway. If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies. Succeed anyway. If you are honest and sincere, people may deceive you. Be honest and sincere anyway. What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight. Build anyway. If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous. Be happy anyway. The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow. Do good anyway. Give the world the best you have and it may never be enough. Give them your best anyway. In the final analysis, it is between you and God. It never was between you and them anyway" - Mother Teresa

Those words have moved me and I cannot explain to you in great detail why but if you yourself reads it and feels nothing then I do not know what to say anyway. I love that it's not saying love them because they are you brother or sister it's just saying to do it anyway because ultimately what else could you do? Waste your time and energy?! sure but what for.. Hope these words have helped someone today or whenever they stumble upon this page.. I know they did help me when I did.

Tell me dear world of the bloggers why is it so hard for me to do this? What is keeping me from having a successful blog? I have no real idea what my blog is about, should it be about what I want it to be about or let it be what it was meant to be all along... a place where my thoughts, that are scrambled, stay on one page?! From the last time I wrote I made myself a Youtube account at www.youtube.com/TheSonyvlogs. It's mostly beauty and random vlogs (video logging of my life) Honestly it is a lot more entertaining but I love to write and share my thoughts as well. THE GOAL: To write at least every other day on this blog. What about?! I have no idea Day ONE! So right now I am watching Addams Family Values, how entertaining and dark! AND OMG Cynthia Nixon is one of the nanny's :]. I had to watch something because I just got into an argument with my little brother. My brother is the rudest kid on Earth and he knows it and admits it. I don't understand why or how he could treat his friends better than his own family. When we are in fact the only ones here for him. UGH! Boys now will stay forever boys!
