Favorite Summer Shoes

Hi there :D

I wanted to make a quick post about my favorite shoes for the summer



Kmart Shoe bongo
Oh yeah I love my shoes!
 
I know summer means sandals and flip flops but these are so light and airy that it suits perfect for the summer!


Kmart boat shoes
Aren't they adorable?
 
Sometimes I find it difficult to wear flip flops, am I weird? haha .... the strap between my those irritates my skin quite a lot so I only wear them when I go to the pool /// I know I know "weird"


Bongo shoes at Kmart
I really like how they look!

Kmart has a good selection of affordable shoes, there were so many cute flats and sandals but I had to stop myself because I have many shoes already :/

Anyways I love how glittery and fresh this pair looks! Gotta love my Bongo boat shoes from Kmart <3

And the best part is that they are so cheap!! If you read my blog for a while you know already that I love bargain shopping. I try not to spend too much money on clothes or makeup. And these bad boys only cost me 14,99 at Kmart :) (original price is 19.99 but they were on sale last week)


Boat bongo shoes
Looking good!
I've never been a fan of boat shoes but these are just too cute not to like them! So girly and feminine <3 Love them so much!! :D


Silver bongo shoes
Love!!
 
 
 
Have a glittery summer day!!

Bi Rain - I do

Rain is hands down my favorite Korean singer <3

UPDATE: don't forget to read Bi Rain officially discharged from the military HERE !! :)

Rain looking so handsome <3

Rain - I do: I don't know why I listened to this song non-stop this past week. It's soooo old school lol but it's still really nice and relaxing.




My Last.fm shows that I only listened to Rain this past week (and no other singer or band o__O) and it's quite shocking lol I can't complain though I love the boy!

He'll be discharge from his military service on July 10th so I'm quite excited to see what his new projects will be like in the future! There are rumors that Jay-Z wants to work with Rain but we will see if that's really true in the coming weeks.

Do you like Rain? :D

Have a Rainy day!

What are chicken nuggets made of?

Hello World!

When I saw this image (source rawforbeauty.com) I was really shocked!!



frozen chicken nuggets
Chicken nuggets
 
 
What is in Mcdonalds chicken nuggets (or any other fast food places' chicken nuggets)? Well the entire chicken is smashed and pressed through a sieve so you get bones, eyes, guts, and all. it comes out looking like this, when I first saw the image before reading everything I thought oh it's strawberry ice cream/frozen yogurt but I was so wrong O__O

Anyways because of the process of smashing and pressing the chicken it’s now crawling with bacteria,  therefore it will be washed with ammonia, soaked in it, actually. Then, because it tastes so gross, it will be reflavored artificially. Then, because it is weirdly pink (like ice cream or frozen yogurt eww) it will be dyed with artificial color.
My bf and I got so shocked by this that we decided not to eat them ever again! So no more Mcdonald's chicken nuggets or Mcnuggets, Burger King and Wendys chicken nuggets! Bye bye forever! The last time I had them was last year and I honestly don't miss them at all!
 
Frozen chicken nuggets are also made this way so I won't be buying them either at the grocery store! I will be preparing my own homemade chicken nuggets for sure and I'll make them the right way with no bones or guts. I'll post my chicken nuggets recipe in the future :D
 
We have to make wise food choices because we only have one body!
 
Have a healthy eating day!!

Sally Hansen in I Pink I Can

Hello World

I love to wear bright happy nail polish colors in these warmer seasons!



Sally Hansen I Pink I Can 510
Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure in I Pink I Can
 
 
Here is the nail polish swatch! The color is more neon than I wanted/expected it to be but it is still a nice color.
I love Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure applicators <3 wide and easy to apply.
 
I got this one at Ross, I think you can find nail polishes way cheaper there. I only paid 2.50 instead of the regular price :) So go to Ross and get your Sally Hansen Nail polish there ;) ... It's always nice for me to find a cheap nail polish it makes me feel not so guilty XD
 
Do you want to see some other swatches? click here for more!!
 
Have a nice pinky day!

Should I Workout Today?

Hi world

Working out is the best thing you can do for your body besides eating healthy. Working out should be a priority for everybody but there's something that keeps people from that and that is: Laziness


Working out is boring
Ugh ... I don't want to workout today!!

I'm so guilty of this as well!!! It's way easier to just stay home taking a nap, watching TV or doing something else instead of working out but it's up to you to make a change in your life.

There are sooo many workout routines out there but not all of them will work for you, I watched some infomercials on TV and to be honest they look too intense for me, of course they will work great if you keep doing them all the time but realistically speaking, do you think you can keep doing them your whole life? My personal answer for that question is NO, I can not do intense exercises for the rest of my life but I instead choose to do other things that I know I can do.

I think it's more important to make this a new lifestyle instead of a short term fix. If you really want to improve your body (toning, losing or maintaining your weight) you have to change your habits. That means start moving instead of taking that nap or watching TV.

You should go at your own pace and start to build your way up if you can. I found many exercises that I know I can do for many years to come and not give up after a few weeks, and I will share with you guys in future posts and who knows they are the right kind of exercises for you as well :)

Of course exercise alone won't do the trick, you also need to change your eating habits! I started this section in my blog about healthy food ( Healthy Eating Thursdays ) I replaced many bad food I used to eat for really good stuff and I want to share that with you guys so make sure to check them out!


After working out
Yay! I finished my workout!! And it was easy!!!

You have to dedicate time for your own body. You decide how you want your body to be. Be your best self!!

Camping at Cottonwood Canyon

Hello World

Last week I went camping with friends and family. It was quite nice! We went to the Spruces Campground located at Cottonwood Canyon here in Utah. The weather was perfect, it wasn't too hot or too cold (there was still some snow around though O__O)

The view was breathtaking!

Green Juice for better health!

Hello World!

What is Green Juice? Green Juice is one of the best things you can drink! It's loaded with vitamins, minerals and anti-oxidants and in my opinion everybody should drink it daily!

Do you have acne? Is your skin looking dull and lifeless? Maybe some wrinkles here and there? ... Are you trying to lose some extra pounds? Do you feel bloated all the time? ... Do you feel with no energy? Do you want a better choice than sugar loaded drinks that only add negative things into your body? If you answer YES to any of the questions then Green Juice is for you! :)



Green Juice
Green Juice for better health!
 
My go-to Green Juice Recipe 
 
Ingredients:
 
1 Handful of Spinach
1 Handful of Baby Kale
2 Celery Sticks
1 Apple
2 Tbsps. of Chia Seeds
3/4 cup of Water
 
 
Mix them in a Blender and you'll get about 16-20 oz of healthy green juice :) (Less water if you want/like to have a thicker juice/smoothie like I do)
 
You might think that it's a little gross with all those veggies but I promise the flavor is just delicious! The apple gives enough sweetness to it, I really like it!
 
When it is blended your body absorbs all the nutrients faster and of course it's easy to digest giving your body a rest!  Green Juice for weight loss! I love the fact that I'm having such a yummy and healthy meal filled with goodness!!
 
Benefits of Green Juice:
  • Anti-Aging
  • Better immune system
  • Clearer Skin
  • Helps you lose weight
  • More energy
  • Better digestion
  • Improves focus
  • Improves bone and joint function
 
I have experienced all the benefits that Green Juice gives to your body! My skin is better than ever, I don't have any breakouts at all and it feels so firm and tone. We all have fine lines but I could see how mine were disappearing!
 
I feel more energy! I feel I can do a lot!  My digestion is great, no problems whatsoever therefore I'm not bloated since I'm not retaining water (water weight >.< )
 
There are options in the market like V8 but I personally won't ever get them since they are full of sodium! What's the point to drink those veggie juices if they are full of sodium and sugar? I strongly believe that you have to make your own without adding sugar or salt!
 
Green Juice will change your life for the better! So give it a try!!
 
 
Have a healthy day!!

Revlon in Lilac Pastelle

Hello world!!


Revlon in Lilac Pastelle
Revlon in Lilac Pastelle

 
 
Here is another nail polish swatch! I love soft delicate nail polish colors in Spring! So girly and cute!! 
 
Even though Revlon nail polishes don't have a wide brush, I find them quite easy to apply. This color in particular is quite pigmented for being so light so you only need one or two coats, Usually with light colors I need at least three or four coats which is a little annoying but I'm quite satisfied with this one.
 
Have a great day!
