My Favorite YouTubers (Guys Version)

Guys-

• MattG
• Nathan Owens
• Destery Moore
• Blake Bliss
• Shane Dawson
• Damon Fizzy
•  Joey Graceffa
• Vincent Cyr
• Christian Novelli
• Connor Franta
• JC Caylen
• Ricky Dillon
• Kingsley

So the guys mean a little more to me than the girls. For Bebe and Cassandra, I only watch their videos for hair/makeup tutorials. For Christina, it's just for her music. I follow Leda to get hair ideas for the next time I plan on coloring my hair. And Jenna, well....who WOULDN'T subscribe to her?
So lets start with MattG, Nathan Owens, Destery Moore, Blake Bliss, Shane Dawson and Damon
Fizzy;

MattG

Nathan Owens

Destery Moore

Blake Bliss (pretty much saved my life. I'll get more into it later)

Shane Dawson

Damon Fizzy

 

 

Okay so starting with the above six people, this is how I came to discover/love them.

So in a previous post I told you about that Senior that I liked that asked that Junior to prom. I know that it doesn't sound like that big of a deal but to be straight up honest with you guys; it broke my heart. It pretty much killed me. I felt like I had gotten back-doored. I mean, he wasn't even mine but it was one of the most painful things I think I've ever went through. So I went home that day, went to my bathroom, and got in the shower. The shower is the only acceptable place for me to cry. After I had finished crying, I sat down on the couch in my bedroom and basically just shut down. My friend Emily was pretty quick at finding out what had happened and texted me minutes later. She eventually suggested that I look up some video's by MattG, who I had not heard of once, despite all the Leda videos I watched. I stayed up all night, laughing until I cried. As I continued to watch MattG videos, I stumbled across some collabs and found Destery Moore. And once I found Destery Moore, I found Nathan Owens. From him, I found Blake. Blake's videos weren't that funny, but they clicked with me really well on an emotional level and played probably the largest part in my healing process. I had watched Shane Dawson videos back in the seventh grade but I had unexpectedly just stopped. When I watched Destery's collab with Shane, I went to his channel and started watching his videos regularly again. And through Shane, I found Damon. Not only are his videos EXTREMELY funny, some of the more serious ones really helped me along with getting over my little situation. So a huge thanks to these guys :) without you, I'd still be hurting.  

 

 

 

Ok next group of guys;

 

 

 

Joey Graceffa. (before you say anything; he's gay. I know. It's heart breaking.)

Vincent Cyr

Christian Novelli

 

So here's the second group of people. Now before I had found these people, I was pretty much over my heart break. But I still had to go to my classes and deal with these two people. And even though the Senior and the Junior's relationship or whatever the hell they had was basically ended after their date, and he went back to giving me shy glances and awkward half smiles, but I wanted him to know that I was hurt. That he couldn't just push me aside and only use me when he wanted to. So I ignored him. You guys have no idea how hard this was for me. I needed YouTube videos to help me stay strong and let him know that he had killed me. But it seemed like they weren't making videos fast enough to hold me over. So I turned over to Joey Graceffa who I had seen before on some Shane videos, Vincent Cyr from a MattG video, and Christian Novelli, who I stumbled upon by complete chance. They helped me remain strong and helped me hold my ground ^_^  Thanks, you guys :)

 

And now the third and final Group-

Connor Franta

JC Caylen

And Ricky Dillon!

 

One day, while I was sick, I just kinda stumbled across Connor by chance and when I found him, I found JC and Ricky pretty damn fast. Connor and JC are pretty funny, but I have come dangerously close to pissing my pants from watching one of Ricky's videos. I went back and forth between these three youtubers until I was over being sick (which took 3 days :p) . So thanks for that, guys :)

 

Kingsley

 

I actually have pissed my pants from watching one of Kingsley's videos. He just makes everything so much better. He's the gay/male/black version of Jenna Marbles

 

 

So that's why I could never ever part with any of these Youtubers. Ever.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My Favorite YouTubers (Girl's Version)

Girls-

• Leda Monster Bunny
• Cassandra Bankson
• Christina Grimmie
• Bebexo
• Jenna Marbles

...does the fact that I only have five girls listed as my favorite youtubers make me a misogynist???? Hopefully not 0_o

Leda Monster Bunny. Isn't she pwitty? ^_^ I'm so jelly...

 

Cassandra Bankson. Her makeup tutorials are the best one's I've found on YouTube

Christina Grimmie. Her voice give me chills ^_^

Bebexo. Her hair tutorials are pretty awesome but my hair won't cooperate with me so I can't do them :p

 

Jenna Marbles! Her videos are pretty funny :)

So check them out and later I'll post a guys edition :) I'll probably have more to say about the guys (for LOTS of reasons)

 

 

Back to school Locker Check List

I know it's only July, but it's good to have a list of things to go shopping for before your school (if you're still in Middle School or High School) hosts it's Open House. This is a list of what I usually looked to put in my locker that helped me look fresh all day!

For your locker:

• A magnetic mirror
• Roller ball perfume
• Mascara (in other words; next time you go makeup shopping, get two mascaras instead of one)
• a brush for straight hair days
• Hairspray for curly/wavy hair days
• Bobby pins (just in case)
• Pictures that make you happy! (I know I said that the things in your locker would keep you looking 'fresh' . Pictures won't make you look 'fresh' but if they make you super happy, you'll smile when you see them. When you smile, your face will light up, your eyes will sparkle, and your cheeks will adapt a subtle flush.)
• Liquid eyeliner for quick touch-ups

For your bag:

• Lipstick/balm/gloss
• Travel size lotion

Tips for protecting you skin from the sun

I figured since it's summer, this post would be a good idea.

• Whenever possible, stay out of the sun for long periods of time. The best time to stay out of the sun would be between 10-2 o'clock when rays are at their strongest.
• Protect your skin year round with SPF. Even in the winter. Most people think that when someone says 'wear SPF year round' that means that you constantly have to wear sunscreen. No. Just no. Instead, look for moisturizers/foundation/face and-or body lotion that have SPF mixed in them.
• Avoid tanning beds. Just stay away from them.
• Wear sunglasses, because most SPF (that isn't in a moisturizer/foundation/lotion) is too harsh on the sensitive skin around the eye.
• When shopping for sunscreen, make sure you find one that fights agains both UVA AND UVB rays. Not one or the other.
• When applying sunscreen, you should always apply liberally.
• If you're in sports or if you swim, look for water/sweat proof sunscreen.
• If you have a job that requires you to constantly be outside, please, please, PLEASE, reapply your SPF regularly.
• UVA rays can be reflected from all light surfaces. And I mean ALL light surfaces; water, sand, snow, ice and even concrete. Just keep that in mind the next time you think you don't need sunscreen.
• I shouldn't need to tell you this, but after reading some YouTube comments, I realized how dumb some people are. So I'm going to say it anyways- infants who are under six months should not be wearing sunscreen. They should be covered up and out of the sun.
• If you have sensitive skin-use a cream based product and avoid sunscreen with tretinion or; Retin-A, Stieva-A, Restisol-A, Rejuva-A, Renova, or Vitamin A acid. (it'll dry your skin out)
• If you have any allergies to skin products, look for sunscreens that are fragrance free and hypoallergenic
• Use two tablespoons of sunscreen to cover yourself from head to toe. If you can't fathom how much two tablespoons equals, it's the equivalent of a shot glass. Don't judge me for making that analogy.

Repairing Hair Mask

This is probably going to be one of my more gross tutorials. The reason being is that you first need to go three days without washing your hair. So I'd suggest doing this during Spring break/ Summer/ Christmas/ Thanksgiving vacation. I'd also suggest keeping your hair tied back off of your face so that the oils in your hair don't get on your face and cause you to break out.

the mixture-

• one egg
• extra virgin olive oil (the amount will vary depending on the length of your hair. I basically just eye ball it.)
• 1 tablespoon of honey
• some milk (I don't measure this one, either.)
• 2 tablespoon of coconut oil

So after you let your hair go unwashed for three days, mix the above ingredients as best as possible. It may take awhile to melt the coconut oil, unless you bought it pre-liquefied. Than you're gonna put in the microwave for a minute. The reason you heat it up, is so that it gets to the shaft of your hair easier and repairs your hair faster. Apply to your hair using your hands and when you get most of it in your hair, flip your head upside down and pour the rest over your bottom hair line. Tie/clip your hair back, and wrap your head in a towel. Let it sit for an hour and wash it out with your regular shampoo/conditioner.

So the reason why your letting your hair get gross and greasy, is because it's producing the most important ingredient of the mask- natural hair oils. This will mix with the mask and help repair damage caused by heat and bleaching/coloring your hair. I'd also follow this with a face mask just incase you did get hair oil on your face.

Art Scholarships

So today in my first hour printmaking class, I was given an application to this art school in Minneapolis Minnesota that offers a $2500 scholarship! You guys might've even heard of this school. It's called the Art Instruction School (if I remember I'll post a link to one of their commercials) and I'll basically be taking the class through the mail (which is pretty spiffy!) I finished the application just a few hours ago and I'll be mailing it out pretty soon; hopefully by Thursday. So I'll keep you guys posted on all of that. And I did a major shift in my future classes. Here's the revised version of what I'll be doing in school for the upcoming three years-

Sophomore year-
-Spanish 2
-English 10
-Biology
-Careers/Leader (Whatever that is. They signed me up for it against my will)
- Band
-PE
-intro to jewelry
-Advanced Jewelry
-Geometry Block
-AP history

Junior Year-
-Spanish 3
-AP English
-AP History
-MAYBE advanced Biology

Senior Year-

-crafts
-some other art class
-the only study hall I'll be taking in High School (unless I decide to do some other class)
-and maybe another art class

Tips to survive high school! :)

1. Don't be desperate. Don't throw yourself at any guy who seems mildly interested. You're just going to get unpleasant nicknames, people will talk behind you back, and no one will be comfortable with leaving their boyfriend with you.
2. Guys are going to flirt with you. That's just how they are naturally programmed. But I can honestly tell you, chances are the guy isn't really into you. If he really was, he wouldn't spend a ton of time flirting. At one point or another, he'll ask you out if he really likes you.
3. Scary enough, guys who have girlfriends still may flirt with you. Again, don't take it seriously. But this is the part that's scary; he may start to have feelings for you even though he has a girlfriend. Get. Away. From. Him. I know you may start to have feelings for this guy, but if he's willing to cheat on his girlfriend with you, than what's going to stop him for cheating on you with another girl when you two are dating?
4. Don't care about what other people think. Many of those people aren't going to remember the embarrassing things that you say and do once they (or you if 'they' are younger than you) graduate, so don't stress over it.
5. Go for extra-curriculars. Not only do they look awesome on college applications, but it's a great way to find people who enjoy the same things that you do. My favorites were band and make-up crew.
6. Do what makes you happy. I joined make-up crew in October/November and I was the only freshman. And out of all the girls that were there, I only knew three of them pretty well. But I love make-up so I enjoyed it!
7. Go to Friday night (or any weeknight) sporting events. They're full of energy and lots of crazy, hilarious, and unforgettable things are going to happen. It's a good way to bond with friends or it could also be a great first date.
8. Believe it or not, it's going to go by FAST. I look back at the beginning of my freshman year, and it seems SOOOOO distant. (I would give anything to get it back to be honest.) So take LOTS of pictures and videos. Don't take a single second for granted.
9. Put yourself out there, where ever 'there' is. Don't be scared of the upper-classmen. They were freshman once and are going to be understanding.
10. Don't do anything stupid. No drugs, no alcohol, no sleeping around. I shouldn't have to explain to you why this is bad.
11. I know that some people feel the pressure to fit in. Sleeping around is NOT the way to go around this. You WILL find other ways to get acceptance.
12. Don't flip over finals. I know I did, but I was just scared because it was the first time doing my finals. They really actually aren't that scary. Just make sure you get their on time to take them.
13. Go to parties. Not crazy drug/alcohol parties. Stay away from those like your life depends on it. You never know. Your life really could depend on it. I mean go to small parties that are going to be tame. Usually a group of friends going out to eat and to a movie or just to a friends house for a holiday party. Or if you're like me and you have a bunch of friends who are seniors, graduation parties.
14. Don't not do your homework. If you actually do your homework and you get good grades, you're going to have an easier time in high school because you won't have the stress to get your grades up and your late homework in. It's going to alleviate problems and stress and it'll keep your parents and teachers off your back. I'm not saying you have to be an A+ student, just don't be failing your classes.
15. Go to dances that allow all grades/ages. They're a great way to have fun and express yourself! It's dark and no one can see how embarrassing your dance moves are ;)
16. If at all possible, don't take ANY study halls. I can understand why you would want/need one, but if you don't take study halls you can get all your credits faster which means senior year, you won't need to take all core classes. Obviously you'll have to take English, but that might be about it. (Personally, I'm going to have to take all core classes though. Well, not core classes, but they're not executives either. They're gonna be AP)
17. Take four years of Spanish. Most colleges require two years, but sooner or later they're going to start requiring three years of Spanish. We don't really have an idea as to when this is going to happen, so stay safe and take at least three years. But you should really take four years just to give you that little edge when colleges go through their applications.

I really hope that this is going to help you guys. The first year of High School is different for everyone, but you only get one shot to make it worth it. Don't mess it up. Get ready to have the best four years of your life :)

A- When we went to Camp St. Croix. That was SO MUCH FUN.
Q#65- Favorite 8th grade memory?
A- Going to regionals for NHD. (National History Day) It was pretty fun to just hang out around the campus while we waited for our turn to present our projects.
Q#66- Favorite 9th grade memory?
A- That is the second hardest question I've ever been asked. (the first hardest was; what's your favorite Eminem song?) Anything and everything that had to do with our marching band show. If I would go back to that time, I'd do it in a heartbeat. Sometimes, I really wish I could. It hurts.
Q#67- What's your most favorite grade so far?
A- Definitely freshman year. I love the seniors. I've learned to much from them. And I love the teachers (except for Mr. N). They're pretty cool.
Q#68- If you could prevent ANYTHING from happening, what would it be, and why?
A- I'd prevent the seniors who go to my school from ever graduating. I love them too much.  It's really gonna hurt to let them go and I seriously do not want to do it. DO. NOT. WANT.
Q#69- What's your worst high school memory?
A- Probably when I got my period during school one day. I was wearing white jeans.
Q#70- What are your biggest fears?
A- Bodily Possession, dolls, snakes, spiders, and being alone
Q#71- Are you pro gun control?
A- Oh gawd, no. Don't even THINK about taking them away.
Q#72- Why are you anti gun control?
A- Well, look at it this way; if you take guns away from people, massacres are STILL going to happen. Anything could be used as a lethal weapon, if used right. First it'll be guns, than it'll be knives, than any object heavy enough to break someone's head in with. You can't stop massacres from happing, just by taking away guns. Besides, taking away guns is only going to cause more problems.
Q#73- Pro Life or Pro Choice?
A- Pro Life, all the way.
Q#74- Favorite music video?
A- I love "Give it up to me" by Shakira feat. Lil Wayne and Timbaland. But, I also like "3 am" by Eminem, and "Lollipop" by Lil Wayne feat. Static Major.
Q#75- Favorite season?

Boston Bombing

So I'm going to assume that you guys know about the bombing that happened on Monday at the Boston Marathon. And if you don't know, than you clearly are not a true American and don't deserve to know. Just kidding :) You can google it or youtube it and you'll get a bunch of hits. Anyways, so if you've been following the stats of the bombing than you know there was a MASSIVE man hunt this week for the suspects. One's dead for those of you who don't know (he died in a shoot-out with some cops) and the other one was captured and put into custody. As of right now, I don't know how he is doing, but last I heard he was in critical condition and shot in the leg and neck. And that he probably won't get his Miranda warning. But anyways, I just wanted to let you guys know that my Aunt and her boyfriend work for the Boston PD and they helped with the man hunt! But they weren't there when they found the guy. My aunt was working at the crime lab in Cambridge which borders Boston and they ended up going on lock-down. And Peter was in Watertown (where the suspect was found) earlier that morning looking for him, but when they found the suspect later that night, he was off duty. So this post is a thanks to my Aunt and her boyfriend and everyone else that played a role in the man hunt for this bomber. God Bless you guys! <3

Prayers for Boston <3

The best over night acne curing face mask that you will ever use.

A few days ago, my mom had me try this new face mask that she read about somewhere. I've only used it twice and already my skin is looking AWESOME. All it is, is raw, all natural honey (it must must MUST be raw) and a little bit of cinnamon.

(I'd make sure to wash your face really good before hand) All you have to do is take a large spoon and put on about one or two drops of honey. More or less depending on how much acne you have. (by acne, I'm also including blackheads and whiteheads) Than just mix it will 1/8 tablespoon of cinnamon. Blend with your finger tip and apply to the areas where you have acne. Than go to sleep. Make sure that your hair is pulled back with a headband, otherwise you'll get honey and cinnamon in it :p Than just make sure you wash your face really good the next morning. This is amazing for breaks outs that just randomly pop up.

Benefits of being a vegetarian

You guys know that I'm a vegetarian. So do many of the people I know. And it's REALLY starting to annoy me how much people get on my case for it. I don't preach to you about what you eat, so why do you feel the need to do it to me? I don't care if you eat meat. I'm not going to judge you on it. So I don't expect you to judge me for MY decision. The decision that DOES NOT affect YOU in any way, shape, or form. But since people don't really care about how it makes me feel when they judge me, I'm going to make a post about why it's good to be a vegetarian. And don't flame me in the comments. My opinion is not going to change just because there are some people in this world who don't agree with me.

benefits of being a vegetarian-
1- I have a lower risk of any lung or heart related diseases
2- I have a lower risk of type 2 diabetes
3- Since I cut out a lot of oils and fats out of my diet, my skin is a lot healthier
4- I'm eating chemically free food
5- Hormone free food
6- I have an increased life span
7- I have a lower chance of getting some cancers
8- Reduced risk of food-borne illnesses
9- I'm helping to reduce pollution
10- and (my favorite)- I can proudly say I'm am NOT supporting animal abuse or torture.

One argument that I get A LOT is 'Just because you're not eating meat, doesn't mean that they're going to stop killing them.'

Yeah, I'm not stupid.

I'm not a vegetarian because I'm protesting animal slaughter; I'm a vegetarian because I don't agree/support animal abuse/torture. To me, when you don't support something, you don't take ANY part of it. I don't support animal cruelty. So I'm not going to support it by eating meat products. And again, if you eat meat, WHO CARES?! I don't! All of my friends and most of my family eat meat. I don't judge people on that. If you eat meat, great. Let's go out to lunch anyways! I. Don't. Care. But if you're going to get in my face about it, it's not going to make me want to change my decision. The only thing it's going to make me want to do, is not hang out with you.

Letting people go.

What I feel is my biggest flaw, is letting people go. When/if they leave, it feels like I'm not a whole. Like they've taken a huge part of me with them and I'm slowly dying from it. I don't want to let them go. I strongly want them in my life. I've been thinking about this a lot since senior graduation is coming up. I've become best friends with a lot of seniors. They know my secrets and I know theirs. We've been through so much together. As you guy's know, I am a TOTAL band geek and I am proud of it :) We've competed in marching band and even went to state together (we finished in second! Not bad!) We've partied together, we've cried together, we've laughed together. I've connected with them on an emotional level. They've had my back many times, and I've tried my absolute hardest to have theirs. Knowing that graduation is coming up, I know that I'll probably never see most of these people again. In my perspective, that's extremely hard for me to wrap my mind around. It's hard to think that a person who has shared so much with me, is one day not going to be there. It physically hurts me to think that way. And the worst part, is that I'm not going to lose one person. I'm losing many. All in one day. But what I've came to realize, is that people are like seasons- They're going to come and go. But the thing about seasons, is that a season is always going to come back. There are going to be more people in your life. People that you're going to have great experiences with. And the other thing I've came to realize is that there is a huge difference between 'wanting' and 'needing' people in your life. Like I said earlier, I strongly want these people in my life. But on graduation day (which is really sad, because it's on my birthday this year :p) when they all walk away and leave me behind, is my heart gonna stop and I'm just going to drop dead? It'll feel that way, but I probably won't. And it's not like I'm going to be totally alone after they leave. I'll still have this years juniors and sophomores and the people in my grade to hang out with :) I'll never forget these people, and that's the most important thing.

I'd just like to say thanks to Blake Bliss for teaching me these lessons. I really wish I had some one like him in my life. Officially on my bucket list to meet this guy. I totally recommend that you guys look him up on YouTube. He is unbelievably inspiring (and REALLY cute). He also is extremely musically talented. Look up some of his songs. And if he's reading this (which I doubt he is, but just in case)- Blake; you're my hero. Don't ever stop doing what you're doing, and don't EVER change.

Yup, that's pretty much how I was raised xD

Stay strong.

So recently I found out that the senior I liked....asked a junior to prom. When I found out, I thought for sure it was dream. But the pain was enough to know that I was wide awake. I cried for a little while. Than I called up one of my friends and she dropped everything to be with me at that moment. It really made me realize how awesome my friends are and how much they care about me. I love my friends more than life it's self. My amazing, beautiful friends, became a strong foundation for me to stand on. One of them was always texting me to make sure I was okay, while others were trying to distract me with funny pins on pinterest. They were the people that picked up the pieces of my heart and brought them back together. The pain I felt is so impossible to describe other than frustration, pain, confusion, and disbelief. But last night I spent some time by myself watching stand up comedy, classic horror movies, and Tim Burton movies. And now I feel better. But not all is bad in my life! Last night a girl called me up and asked me if I was interested for babysitting for her every Thursday night from 4-8 for the next eight weeks. I've been running low on the money I made babysitting over the summer so now I can add some new money to the shrinking pile. But anywhore, the main purpose of this post was to show you guys that when something bad happens to you, you don't need to feel alone. You don't need to be by yourself. I'd bet that there is someone in your life that you can lean on. You might feel like you don't, but you just need to trust some people enough to open up to them. I bet you'll find that most people can rise to the occasion. I care. You can trust me. So stay strong and continue on!

Meditation videos

Lately I've been pretty stressed out with school and guys ( >:p) but my friend recommended this video and I tried it. I don't know if it helped out with things like motivation or being more productive, but it definitely helps with the stress and distracting myself from things that make me tense up like school work, projects, and the confliction between these two guys. So here's the video my friend emailed me a link to. I like to listen to music when I do this

Parent-Teacher Conferences

So today I have parent-teacher conferences. I don't know how your guys' parent-teacher conferences work, but in my school, the student's don't have to be there. So I never went to any of them. But today I have to. The reason why I have to go is because I'm signed up for AP history for my sophomore year and I need to meet my AP history teacher. His name is Mr. Gerrits (I don't even know if I'm spelling that right) and I am totally on edge. I've seen him probably once and he's intimidating. But I am intimidated easily, which is probably why I've never made the first move when it comes to asking guys out. But anywhore,(my new favorite word)  I'm VERY scared of him. So I'm gonna do what I know best when it comes to meeting adults for the first time- look decent and keep my mouth shut unless directly spoken too. Which is kinda my approach to guys, too :) But other than the mandatory meeting with Mr. Gerrits I want to talk to my art/print making teacher, my Spanish teacher, my History teacher, and my English teacher. So I pretty much want my mom to talk to the teachers that teach my best subjects. (notice how I didn't list my science or algebra teacher. I'm getting a B and a C in those classes. Not in that order.) So to try not to worry and stress too much, today I'm doing a ton of facials and masks. My go to stress relievers :) I'm actually doing one of my favorites- The yogurt-honey-lemon facial. And later I'll do an ice facial and pluck my eyebrows. That one doesn't really relieve stress but it'll be a confidence booster which is probably something I'll need today. So wish me luck in meeting my AP history teacher and hope that my teachers have a lot of good things to say about me *hoping all goes well*

First veggie post

Here's the video that first inspired me to become a vegetarian. If you're a sensitive viewer, you might not want to watch this. I had to turn it off at one point because it was so bad (they're in parts) -

So that's my motivational video for sustaining vegetarianism.

Here's a really good, pretty straight forward website about vegetarianism-

And, of course, reasons to become a vegetarian-
http://philipngcc.homestead.com/

My latest life decision

So this weekend, I made the decision to become a vegetarian. Back in the seventh grade, I tried vegetarianism for about a week to see if I liked it. And I did. I don't remember why I stopped, but recently I started thinking about it, and I decided that I wanted to go ahead and pick it up again. Now, I'm not a vegan. I like dairy products and eggs WAY too much to become a vegan. I don't mind people who eat meat, and I won't preach to them about becoming a vegetarian either. If you eat meat, fine. So does most of my family and I'm pretty sure most, if not all, of my friends eat meat as well. I doesn't bother me one bit :) I'm just really thankful that I have family who support my decision, even though some of my friends don't support me. Sad, but true. So I'd really appreciate the support from you guys too :) And if you decide to become a vegetarian, or if you are a vegetarian, I'll start posting links to videos/blogs/websites that support it and give out vegetarian recipes.

OTHER THINGS GOING ON!!!
So you guys know that senior that I've had a thing for since August? He made it to state wrestling :)Yay! Wish I could've been there, and I wanna know what's going on and how he's doing. I haven't seen him since Thursday and I miss seeing his face :( But I think he'll be back by this Monday

Remember my confliction with the guy in my grade and the senior mentioned above? Well the guy in my grade  has gotten a lot more bold recently. He's been holding my hand, tickling me, pushing the hair off my face and behind my ears, defending me against innocent teasing between me and my friends, offering to rub my shoulders (which I took him up on. When someone offers to rub your shoulders and doesn't expect anything in return, you'd take them up on it too.) staring at me in class, asking me to sit at his lunch table, and he even kissed my wrist. The reason why he kissed my wrist was because there were some scratches there from my cat and he thought I was cutting myself (which I don't do.) and he told me to 'please stop, because I care about you.' He's also been helping me with homework (which is cute because I don't need help and he seriously does) wrapping his arms around my waist from behind me, and offering me his hoodie whenever I shiver. I like the attention, but honestly? I just think he's extremely sexually frustrated

Last thing! Remember my friend who liked that senior that I like now, and than she started liking his cousin? Well she doesn't like his cousin anymore. Now she likes this guy that she was crushing on back in the eight grade.

Well that's pretty much what my life looks like right now!

wasted space

ok so this post if more for me cuz im gonna use this post to keep myself organized cuz I got so much going on and I don't have a calendar or anything so im sorry that i'm wasting this post :( unless if you wanna stalk me than you can totally use it to your advantage ;)

so, yeah :) Enjoy

Videos that make me happy :)

These videos made me laugh really hard! When ever I'm having a bad day I turn them on and they immediately make me feel better :) So here they are if you ever need anything to turn a bad day into the best day out of your week.

So the first two videos are part 1 and 2 of '11 drunk guys play slender' which is the funniest video I've seen in awhile :

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X81lT0BX18k

So there's that^^. Than the next few videos are the same guys but instead they're playing Hospice which is a knock-off of Slender. Personally, I think it's scarier than the original Slender, because I'm afraid of hospitals. Especially abandoned ones.

So yeah, there ya guys go! Hope that they make you feel as good as they make me feel!

Opportunities

So today we had some juniors and sophomores talk to the freshman about joining AP history next year. I really wanted to take it, but I was afraid I'd fall behind between AP history, AP English (which I already signed up for) next years marching season, make-up crew, other homework, church, family, social life, and babysitting. But my history teacher pulled me aside and said that he 'strongly recommends' that I take it. I told him I was worried about falling behind but he said that he knew how hard I worked and if I applied that, I'd be able to handle it. Sooooo, I took his advice and signed up for the class :) Last year as an eighth grader, I took three advanced classes so hopefully I'll be used to the fast pace of the class. And I'm willing to sacrifice my social life and put a hold on the babysitting thing for awhile. Just until marching season and make-up crew slows down a bit. Anyways the point of this post was to have faith in yourself! Sign up for the AP class and trust that you'll do fine! Look at it this way- sacrifice social life now and than get it back when you're in college. Also the money you save for not having to take the class in college  :) cross your fingers for me guys! Oh  and another thing- I never told you guys about how I did on my finals. I got a 99 percent on my science final, a 90 percent on my Spanish final, than a 90 percent on my English final. I still don't know about algebra or history but once I figure it out, I'll let you guys know.

Confliction

So tonight I'm gonna post two post because a) I seriously need to vent and b) I've been working on this one post for almost a month now but I'll start with this one.

So the thing is, is that there's this guy. Back in seventh grade I had a huge crush on him and lately he's been flirting with me, telling me how much he cares about me, making excuses to touch my hair or hold my hand, several times he's pushed my hair behind my ears, he's asked me to eat lunch with him, telling me how pretty I am. And too be honest, I like it. He's so open with me like there are no boundaries and asking me questions because he wants my point of view on things. And I still like that senior, but lately he hasn't really done anything. I've been around him for a few months now and he hasn't made a move, while in the span of two days this other guy who's in my grade has done so much for me. I really wish the senior would realize that I'm am totally approachable. That's why I have so many friends. So I came to a conclusion- if the guy in my grade asks me out, I'll take him up on it. But if the senior asks me out first, than I'll take him up on it. I wish I didn't have to choose.

Banana milkshake!

I apologize if you thought this was going to be some recipe for a banana flavored milkshake. Cuz it's not. I mean, you could drink it, but it's main purpose is for your hair!
Here's what ya need- '

• three bananas (more or less depending on hair length. My hair is a few inches past my shoulders)
• coconut oil (or whole milk. Honestly, it doesn't matter)
• Honey (optional. Add it if you want extra moisture)
• a bowl
• towel
• claw clips
• a spoon
• gloves (optional. I'd use them if you plan to drink the rest of your banana milkshake, but I don't drink it so....)

what you need to do-

• mash your bananas in a bowl
• add coconut oil (or milk) until it's the same consistency of conditioner
• add about two tablespoons of honey. It doesn't have to be exact. I just eye-ball it.
• this part is also totally optional. You can heat up the mixture for 20-30 minutes on high and let it cool until it's warm but not too hot or too cold. If it's warm, it'll get into the hair shafts easier and repair better
• apply to hair (while wearing a shirt you don't really care about) while standing in a shower or with your head over the sink
• twist hair back with a claw clip and wrap a towel around your hair
• leave in for about an hour
• wash out regularly

So there you guys go! Hope it works out for you!

home facial

This stuff is fricken awesome-

What you need-

• One bowl
• plain vanilla yogurt
• honey
• lemon
• something to stir with
• a teaspoon

What you need to do-

• take two spoonfuls of yogurt (Greek yogurt works best, but really, any kind will work) Yogurt helps reduce redness
• add 1-2 drops of lemon. The lemon will help brighten your skin, but be careful because it is acidic so it could cause irritation
• add one teaspoon of honey
• mix together well
• apply to face and leave for thirty minutes
• wash off with warm water
• do this mask once a week

This stuff is just so awesome! It's an anti oil, acne, and redness facial that also cleanses pores and makes your skin smell pretty awesome :) I usually follow with an ice facial to minimize my pores and a toning facial moisturizer. Make sure you wash your face before you apply the facial. If you guys wanna follow with an ice facial here's how you do it-

1. sit with a cup of ice and a towel
2. rub ice where your pores are largest (mine are on my nose)
3. pat dry and follow with a moisturizer

So I haven't really been active lately because I've been so busy with finals and studying that I haven't had time to make anything new. So I'll just upload this post that I've been working on for awhile (That's actually pretty much what happens when I don't have time to make a new post. I just upload one that's been done for awhile but hasn't been uploaded yet)
So here's this post that has just been sitting here for awhile now-

Moisturizers and your skin-

Dry-  look for a heavier, oil-based moisturizer. Look for these ingredients- urea, or propylene gel

Normal- (me! except for my discoloration :p) look for water based moisturizers with light weight oils. Look for these ingredients- acetyl alcohol or silicon-based ingredients

Oily and combined skin- look for oil free and water based. Use moisturizers 'sparingly'.

sensitive skin- any moisturizers without fragrance or dyes and is designed for this skin type (it'll usually say on the bottle 'for sensitive skin')

Extra dry and mature skin- nourishing oils, dense creams, and balms. Look for petrolatum based. Look for these ingredients- lactic acids (found in milk!:) ) alpha hydroxy acids


If you're not sure what your skin types is, use this to help you-

Normal skin-

• comfortable feeling
• smooth, even textures with small pores (working on the small pores thing :p)
• Cheeks are the driest area, but not extremely dry
• may have shine and/or larger pores on the forehead, nose, or chin. I have HUGE pores on my nose :'(
• water and oil content is balanced

dry to extra dry-

• feels tight after washing
• may look dry or flaky
• feels rough and uneven
• pores are small and hard to see (lucky :p)
• shows fine lines faster than other skin types

Oily skin-

• shiny especially through the t-zone
• may have large visible pores
• frequent break outs

sensitive skin-

• can range from dry to oily
• Easily irritated by cosmetics, moisturizers, and cleansers
• sensitive and prone to redness
• itchy and/or blotchy

tips!

• use a fast-absorbing eye cream under your concealer
• look for moisturizers with ingredients like; petrolatum, glycerin, or shea butter if your skin is very dry and dehydrated
• Layer different textures of moisturizers (balm, cream, oils, etc. etc.)
• look for oil controlling lotion if you have oily skin
• (I personally don't use this one)- dab or pat on some moisturizing balm onto your cheeks after you've applied your makeup
• you can mix your face lotion with your foundation to make a tinted moisturizer

so later when I have the time I'll make a 'special skin conditions' guide and what you can do for your skin condition. And thanks to Bobbi Brown (Bobbi Brown Makeup Manual) for supplying me with all these awesome tips!

My favorite tips for healthy hair!

On YouTube, there's this girl named Cassandra Bankson and she is FRICKIN AMAZING! She does a ton of tip and tutorial videos that are great! She does a lot of makeup tutorials but also talks about acne and things you can do for it, and how to take care of your hair and nails. She recently inspired me to make this next post about hair! These are all tips from her, but these are my personal favorites. I'll post a link somewhere to the video that I got these tips from so that you can see what other tips she has.

1. Massage oils into damp hair. In the video, Cassandra uses peppermint oil (you probably have some in you cupboard. I know I do.) She also says you can use Eucalyptus oil, or cinnamon oil. I like to use Moroccan oil. When you massage the oils into your hair, it stimulates blood flow to the scalp, which in turn stimulates hair growth.
2. Add more protein to your diet! I'm guessing many of you know that your hair and nails are dead. That's why it doesn't hurt when you cut them. (unless you end up ripping up your nail beds or if you get a hang nail) And many of you also know that your hair and nails are made up of dead keratin (which is dead protein.) So if you eat lots of protein and you get excess protein, your bodies natural instinct is to turn the protein into hair and push it out of your scalp.
3. Wash your hair with a sulfate free shampoo. I already do this since I dye my hair often and the sulfate could make my hair fall out.
4.  before you style your hair, use a heat protectant! Again, it's great for color treated hair since it's so sensitive. Heat is one of the worst things you could do to your hair, but at least heat protectant will help out with that!
5. Before you get out of the shower, rinse your hair with cold water. Cassandra goes into more detail as to why.
