I cheated.

On my diet that is.
This past weekend I had a couple of cheat meals.
It wasn't that bad though and it was only on Friday and Saturday.
I got back to my regular "diet" and worked out yesterday, and of course I'm continuing with it today.
I'm not giving up!. My mom did say I look skinnier, so that's a plus lol.
I haven't worked out today yet but I'm going to in the next hour or so.
I only do 30 minutes of exercise for now but I do it daily which is good for now.
Anyways, I just wanted to post a quick update on here since I haven't blogged in a few days.
I'll try to do another post again soon!.

Enjoy your week!

I'm still sticking to it, today was day 3. 

I've also been working out, only 3 times a week.

I know it's only been 3 days but I feel like I can already see a small difference, maybe I'm crazy lol.

Anyways that's it for now!

Thanks for reading :)

Getting back in shape.

That's right. Starting today I'm planning on getting back in shape.
I know it might be difficult to start now since Thanksgiving is right around the corner.
I know theirs going to be A LOT of food to try and avoid lol. I'm ok with that.

I decided I'd start now since it's Monday which means it's a new week. So, why not?
If I put it off now I might wait till next year to make it a "New Years resolution"
Which I rather not because, to be honest, it's always my "New Years resolution" lol.

Not to mention the longer I wait the more weight I put on.
I'm definitely starting today!. Wish me luck lol.

I decided to take a "Before" picture. However I won't be posting it here lol.
At least not yet, maybe if I reach my results or once I start making progress that might change.
That way I can post a "Before" and "after".
So, what's my goal?
I want to lose around 10-20lbs.
It's not that much. I know it's definitely possible.
I used to be overweight when I was in middle school.
I've always been afraid to go back to that weight.
I've definitely picked up some really bad eating habits that have got to stop now.
Especially if I want to avoid going back to being overweight.

I know I can do this. Anyone can do it if they really set their minds to it.
And of course, put in the work.
I know it might not be easy and it will take some sacrifice, but it's possible.

So, time to get my head in the game.
The best part will be the end results when I notice the weight loss and clothes fitting differently.
I'm excited for that part, and for the part where people notice you've lost weight.

Alright well,
here we go.. Day 1!.

Wish me luck! :)

October favorites.

I know I'm a little late but I wanted to post my October favorites.
I won't be doing a video for my Youtube channel since it's only a few things.
That's why I decided to do a blog post instead :)

Alright let's get started.

My first favorite from last month is..

1. The CoverGirl Outlast Stay Fabulous 3-in-1 Foundation. (pic below)

 

I bought this foundation before and I liked it the first time but for some reason I stopped using it.

I also lost it somehow and decided to try out other drugstore foundations.

That didn't go so well and they ended up breaking me out.

So, last month I decided to purchase this foundation again.

Of course, I loved it all over again. It leaves a matte finish on my face, which I like.

It also hasn't made me break out, so I've been using it since!.

And like I mentioned it's a drugstore foundation so it's inexpensive and easy to find.

2. The Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Concealer for dark circles (pic below)

 

I have been using this concealer for more than a month actually, and I keep repurchasing it!.

I absolutely love it. It does a great job at covering my dark circles as well as some blemishes.

I also like how it brightens up my face since I get it in a lighter shade.

It's also pretty long lasting and doesn't crease too much.

I will definitely keep using this and repurchase again. 

3. The NYC high definition liquid eyeliner. (pic below)

 

This is a product that I just started using last month but I purchased a long time ago.

I heard it was good from other beauty gurus and decided to buy it.

For some reason I never really used it though.

I always reached for my same liquid eyeliner. But last month I decided to give it a chance.

I'm really glad I did because it really is a great liquid eyeliner.

It comes out pretty dark and the tip is not too thick but not to thin and I find it easy to apply.

Not to mention it's really inexpensive. I believe I got mine for $3 or $4.

It's definitely a must try.

4. The L'oreal colour riche Lalaque in "never laque-ing". (pic below)

 

When I first heard about these lipsticks/lip pencils I was super excited to try them.

Unfortunately they were always sold out at my drugstore's.

Then I finally came across them and picked them up.

I tried them the next day and I absolutely loved them!

I've been using all of them but my most used is "never laque-ing" pictured above.

It's a nice pinky nude color, perfect for every day use.

They're smooth, not drying, glossy, and inexpensive!

Definitely look for these and give them a try. 

5. "The Magic" book by Rhonda Byrne. (pic below)

 

This is actually my last favorite for last month.

It's a book I've been reading and absolutely loving.

I'm sure many of you have heard of "The Secret" book by the same author.

This is another one of her books called "The Magic".

This book has helped me become a much more positive person.

It's helped me see the good in things instead of the bad.

It's also helped me on my tough days by making me remind myself of the good instead of the bad.

I suggest you read it if you're trying to bring more positivity into your life.

Or if you're trying to become a positive person.

It really does help.

And that's it for my favorites of the month of October!.

Like I said there weren't many last month.

Most of my favorites stay the same since I don't buy that many new things lol.

I hope you all have a good weekend! 

I will post again soon!

You can follow me on twitter and or instagram if you'd like!

Happy Monday!

Happy Monday :)

I can't believe it's November already.

I know that it's already the 4th but it just barely hit me lol.
Anyways, since I'm still up I figured I'd post a quick blog post before finally calling it a night.
I'm not sure if anyone noticed but I updated my blog tonight.

I decided to try out a different look.
I'm a total newbie to layouts, codes, etc. 

So it's nothing really fancy, just something simple, for now.
If later on I figure out how to do something a little more snazzy I might change it again.

OK, since it's Monday I decided I'm posting my "MCM" here.
Otherwise known as "Man Crush Monday" lol.
I'm not sure if any of you have seen it going around on twitter, instagram, etc.
Basically you post a picture of a crush, mine are usually celebrities, while other people post their significant other every time lol. Alright, here is mine! *Drumroll*


Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. 

 

And this is my reaction every time I see a picture of him or a movie he's starring in.

 

Seriously. lol.

I remember back when I used to watch WWF or what it's called now WWE.

"The Rock" was always one of my favorites.

I even had a HUGE and I mean HUGE poster of him on my bedroom door.

Yes, I was a dork, and I really liked to watch wrestling lol.

Anywho, I don't really watch wrestling anymore, except every now and then.

However I still watch The Rock in most movies he's in. And I must say, he's gotten even hotter!. 

And of course my crush on him has gotten even bigger. 

So there you have it.

My "MCM" Man Crush Monday!.

I hope you enjoyed this random post and a little bit of eye candy.
