The Little Things and another fabulous update!!



I think when you live your life you're a bit busy focusing on a few things that happen to surround you. Like for example, that moment of happiness that only lasts for a couple of minutes, or completing tasks that needs to get done. I don't know but for some reason, when i complete one of my assigned tasks at work I feel a sense of joy, like I feel like I have accomplished a bit of a something to help me complete my day.

To be honest I'm quite disappointed with my generation today. I feel like we all have the potential to accomplish more in life but we are just a bit too lazy to go out there and accomplish something. Take for example me. I am the epitome of laziness. I procrastinate and put everything last. I think this is why my parents are frustrated with me and feel as if they are talking to a wall. Though this sense of procrastination seems to be a huge factor in most people's lives I've decided to take a stand against it. I'm not sure as to why its been taking me so long. I'm in that state of mind where I go and wait for things to happen, just going with the flow.

I've decided to not put things off now and take action, cause in reality life is a bit too short to always be putting things off until tomorrow. Take for example my current situation. I want to redecorate my room as I see it as a bit childish and I want to vastly update it into something that is a bit more me. My room color is a two toned light pink and just a bit slightly darker pink. Where am I going with this? I want to redecorate it as the person who I am today. I've told my father about my decision to change my room and told him that I would like him to fund it and he believes that I should since I'm the one whose going to be living there. So I've decided that I would go find a job again as it seems that my summer job isn't gonna come back to me.


Another thing I've also been procrastinating is the fact that I've been really putting off finding a job cause I don't want to be busy again. Plus the fact that I wouldn't be able to drop my grandfather off at his appointments really worries me. Plus the thought that I would be busy and not have this free time to find more about what I want kind of annoys me. While I was writing this I decided to go and email my old manager to see if that position that I had was still available. So I guess I haven't procrastinated a bit.

Here's a photo of me in my old uniform:


Also a few things like my youtube channels and this blog and learning how to play the guitar makes me want to be a bit more productive in this world since our life is short and I want to be able to do all these things and be proud of my life's achievements.


Another thing is my fitness and weightloss. Since I am taking a semester off from university I thought it would be amazing if I came back hotter than ever. Haha. Imagine all of you thinking about going back to school after summer and looking hotter than ever and turning heads. All the guys at the gym will drop their jaws and be in awe. I want that kind of head turning type of thing, So I thought that I would be more productive in this upcoming month of september and be involved in a few things such as diet bet where you bet $25 to lose 4% of your bodyweight during the month of september and the ones who didn't lose 4% or more don't get their money back, but for the people who have lost 4% and more split the money between them and gain some money!!! I think its a good idea for those people like me who don't feel as motivated but feel the need to motivate each other by money wise is a good motivation technique. NO WAY am I losing my $25!!!!

Well I promised myself to start sleeping earlier and its already 2:04 am...I think I might need to start sleeping...because I am gonna go see the new one direction movie in 3D with my aunt...haha. Hey I like one direction, theres nothing bad about liking them. Well anyways...

Here's the inspiration of the day:


AHAHAHAHA JOKES!! But she is one of my inspirations in the world of the beautiful and famous.


But really here is my inspiration for the day:


And as always spread love and keep your head up!

Haul: Urban Outfitters & TopShop

Hello lovely people! Todays post will be about my recent trip to LA and the goodies I bought this week that I thought you would love to look at. So basically my mother and I had a little mother and daughter bonding trip and we decided to go to Los Angeles and just relax and do a little retail therapy and while I was there I thought that it would be nice to go to a couple of malls that I haven't been to before. So lets start with the GROVE!!

It was Easter Sunday so I thought I would go and walk around and just see what the mall is like and let me tell you, it was a very fancy sort of European inspired type of mall. The stores there were basically set up as outlets. It was a very open space and there was a giant fountain sort of lake thing going on in the middle of it all. The first place I hit up was Topshop!!! It just opened and I thought why don't they have one in San Diego!! I love the set up of it but the prices were a bit high for most things there. I bought a dork t-shirt, which took me ages to find btw. Also I was very much in love with their makeup section...I spent at least 30 mins looking at all the different makeup items instead of actually looking at the clothes. You can get it here for cheaper than I did....its $24 on the website and $36 at the store!!! Wow... but I love it so comfy!!

So here's the t-shirt:

Excuse the wrinkliness....(btw did you know a dork means a whale's penis...I didn't know! OMG.)


And the inner beauty goddess in me couldn't resist buying a lipstick and it was so hard to choose but I decided to go with Brighton Rock which is this very bright hot pink almost somewhat a bright barbie pink. You can purchase it online too here. Its a bit bright but I love how long this lasts me!!

And here it is:




The packaging is so cute!!



Here's a few pics at the Americanca with some family friends:






Moving on I also went to the Americana and did more shopping there at Urban Outfitters and of course went to the sale section since everything there like topshop, is a bit more on the pricer range...WHY?!? But by going over to the sale section I managed to get a few good steals!! I found these heels which were originally $59 and now are only $10!!!! I searched on Urban online and they don't seem to carry these shoes anymore.

 Here they are:



 Another shoe that I did pick up were toms. I only own one pair of toms, there red, but I love how comfortable these shoes are!!! Plus the giving another pair to a child in Africa isn't so bad either. So I picked up these and they were on sale for only $19 compared to the original $60. They had more on sale for $19 but I decided to choose theses because I love the feel of them and the different gradients of black and grey they are. Plus I thought they would be easier to pair with most outfits if I want to be comfortable.

 Here they are:



I also got a few books and here they are: 






I decided to get the look before you leap because it was on sale for only $4.99 and who doesn't want to take life lessons from everyone and their mothers favorite frog!! Kermit. It's pretty interesting so far. I'll write a review on it later.

The other book I purchased was the Diet Doodle Diary

And here it is: 



This book wasn't on sale but it was only $10. I thought I should purchase it to help me out with my diet and weight loss since I have been struggling with loosing weight for so many years now. I mean you know its bad when your dad keeps complaining about how you need to eat healthier and loose weight. I mean I accept I'm not the fittest girl out there but I want to be skinny and be able to fit into clothes that I have always wanted to wear and not look horrid in them. So this is where I will be able to keep track of it and this book goes on for up to 30 weeks and I will be starting it today! So here's to a healthier lifestyle and what not. If you want to see my progress I'll put a separate page up and talk all about my struggle and what I'm currently doing that to change it. I'll be posting a weekly picture and weigh ins. If you need a buddy for loosing weight I'm here!! 


Here's my inspiration for today:


Until then...spread love and keep your head up!!
