As the new year approaches it is time for me to round up a list of personal goals for the upcoming year. Although, it isn't always possible to achieve them at times, it is always nice to check up on yourself and evaluate your actions. I believe that there is always room for self - improvement and it is never to late to start over. If you aren't happy with yesterday, try something different today.
Well, here are my resolutions!
Sleep Earlier - Alright, I admit it... I am very guilty for sleeping late every night. I dont know why but I feel like most of my ideas sprout during this time of day. Although, I should amend the times I go to sleep, I believe it is fair for my body that I sleep a tad earlier.
Reduce Procrastination - In my case, I have a very bad tendency to procrastinate. There would be times that I spend hours and hours doing nothing, eventually avoiding all costs to finish my assignments. However, I always get it done but end up stressing at the last minute!
Get in Shape - Being petite, doesn't mean I am fit haha. This might sound very ironic but it's funny because I actually have a gym that I can access 24/7 however, I barely go. This new year I'm hoping to exercise enough so I could be fit and at least be healthier for my body.
Read More Books - Growing up I have never had the habit of picking a book in my own time, however, I have read many literature books throughout my years in school. I am hoping this year I will buy books that would fascinate me so I can read at home and gain as much knowledge and writing skills from doing so.
Keep a Journal - I have always had this in the back of my mind but I have never actually put the effort to do so. Personally, I believe it would be very cool to keep a journal so I can record my day-to- day experiences thus I can read it in the future.
Display Maximum Effort - I am hoping to begin a new year by putting maximum effort in everything I do. Although as human beings many of us forget to do so, I hope that one day I could apply it to everything I pursue in the future.
Be Happy - For whatever may come my way, I hope to have an amazing year full of joy and happiness. I will try my best to make everything the best that I can make it and hopefully have a swift year too.
What do you wish for this upcoming year? Happy New Years! xx
Since one year ago, I have always had a space near my desk where I hang all my favorite pictures, whether it's
As you can see, I have hung a couple Tumblr photos that I have found online and used a hanger to do so. If you are reading this by now, you would have read the title and noticed that they are made out of
First, I took the middle of the paper clip and stretched it out until I formed a shape that looks like a triangle.
Next, I took the piece facing down and curved it upwards, making it stand out of the triangle.
Lastly, I cut the piece sticking out to make it shorter and seem more like a hanger. Plus, I just flipped it over because I prefer the way it looks!

If you are like me, I consider quotes to be sentimental to the heart and once in a while I tend to search for more in my free time. In fact, a couple months ago I was motivated to start jotting down all my favorite quotes in one notebook of mine. As months have progressed, I have grown quite a large collection and I decided it would be best to roundup my favorite quotes and share it to those who could receive some inspiration too. As you would expect, it is in fact quite hard to pick just a handful of quotes from hundreds of well-thought and brilliant ones.
Well, here are some of my favorites!

2 Words: Writer’s Block
During the past few days I have come to the conclusion that
I do not have much ideas to write about, this is called a “Writer’s Block.” For
many of you who are reading this you might understand how this works and rarely
for people who are very lucky and are always coming up with creative ideas, you
may not have much experience with.
Personally, I am very new in hosting a blog and when I first
started I did not look at the issues that I might face, including this
one. Over the past few hours of trying
to think of what to write, I have just decided to write about my situation at
the moment. This is because number 1: I feel like I should be honest with my
readers and number 2: I want to help my readers incase you fall in the same
trap.
Here are my ways to overcome this situation:
Don’t Be Too Hard on Yourself
Not having any good ideas to write can lead to putting
yourself down. Trust me, don’t feel bad, it happens to everyone. Remind
yourself that it is OK and take a break.
Don’t Doubt Yourself
You have to keep in mind that ideas will eventually come.
You shouldn’t feel like you don’t have the ability, it is very important to
believe that you can do anything.
Take Inspiration
Sometimes it is not bad to ask for help. You may ask people
who are close to you or even search online. Here are 2 posts of lovely blog
ideas that can help you get back on your feet. They are by one of my favorite
blogs called “A Girl, Obsessed”
Relax
This method is very important when finding a way to
creativity. Putting your self under pressure can distract you from thinking
properly and can put you in a lot of stress.

As a high school student, my weekends are mostly filled with
lots of homework, projects, reading, writing essays and most importantly a
bunch of Netflix. Haha . As a matter of fact, being a hard working student doesn’t
mean one can’t take a break, right? As a result, I would like to share with you
5 of my favorite shows that I absolutely loved to watch!
1.
Stranger Things: Season 1
I first heard about this show when a few
classmates of mine were raving about how amazing it was. I never really
understood the big hype about it, and after lots of contemplation I decided to
watch it on a Saturday morning. As I layed on my bed and prepared a comfortable
position, I finally watched the first episode. Subsequently, I spent my whole
day watching the whole series in eight hours. Yes. This happened. So… to sum up
my weekend, I spent my whole Saturday from dawn to dusk just watching Netflix.
As crazy this might seem, I couldn’t stop, as each episode is filled with
twists and more mind-boggling questions yet to be answered. P.S when I got my
whole family to watch it, I got them obsessed with it too. (whoops ?) Overall, I
highly suggest watching this show if you are up for a new series! J
2.
The Vampire Diaries: Seasons 1-7
In my opinion, this supernatural T.V drama
might be one of my favorite shows! After watching all seasons, I have grown to
love the characters and connect to the plot like no other. In summary, the
series is set in a fictional town named Mystic Falls, Virginia, containing a
large history of vampires. Vampire brothers Damon and Stefan Salvatore move
back to find conflicting feelings towards other inhabitants in town such as
Elena Gilbert. The series is then followed with many new conflicts and plot –
twists as their stay in town clash and disrupts the local residents.
3.
The Originals: Seasons 1-3
After finishing the latest season of the
Vampire Diaries, I couldn’t help but watch their T.V show spin off. Focusing on
the Mikaelson siblings, otherwise known as the original vampires it is set in
New Orleans, Louisiana, a place once known as the rightful homes of Klaus,
Elijah and Rebekah. As a huge fan of “The Vampire Diaries” I am super happy
with the turnout of this show, as in my opinion it feels a lot more serious but
yet displays a super intricate plot.
4.
Pretty Little Liars: Seasons 1-6
A couple years ago, I was introduced to
this show expecting not much, especially because I didn’t watch a lot of T.V
drama. As a big fan today, I am super glad I watched it! Not only is it super
interesting but it opened a whole new door to a world of entertainment for me.
Furthermore, this show will always keep a special place in my heart and for
anyone who hasn’t watched it I highly suggest it!
5.
Gossip Girl: Seasons 1-6
Growing up, I have always heard about this
show but never got around to watch it… until this summer of 2016. As summer approached, long summer
days awaited me with filled opportunities and no obligations. Yet, I spent my
summer days lying on my bed binge-watching Netflix (haha .) Although I say this
with shame, I will never regret watching this show, as it brought a lot of
entertainment and joy to me. If you are interested in a show filled with teen-drama,
you are up for a treat!
This post was inspired by A Girl, Obsessed, she has an amazing
blog and everyone should check her page!

“Evolution of Smooth” also known as EOS are lip balms like
no other. They are very unique displaying great qualities in the product itself
and its packaging. As a person who has a few of these lip balms, I have come to
the conclusion that they have become my all time favorite. This might sound a
little “cheesy” but it’s really true.
The collections of these lip balms come in many different
types of exquisite flavors such as, “sweet mint”, “strawberry sorbet” and many
more. They aren't simply packaged with amazing scents but I trust that
if you put apply them on regularly they can hydrate your lips, leaving them anything
but chapped.
Overall the lip balms work to cure chapped lips and they
have great smells and packaging. Personally, I love to bring them everywhere I
go due to their shape and size. I am a firm believer in this
product and I am sharing this so people can experience the delight as well.
For my first blog post, I have decided to share my material essentials for succeeding in school. You might be wondering, "Why is she doing this post in the middle of a school year?" Well, as for myself I have a huge love interest for stationary and to be honest... Is it ever too late to talk about school essentials? Furthermore, I believe that this might be helpful to anyone who is buying new supplies or for anyone just curious of what I bring to school. (haha )
1. Agenda/Planner – I believe this is a staple piece to staying organized and I recommend always bringing this to school. Personally, the biggest lie I tell myself is “I don’t need to write that down, I’ll remember it.” - Trust me, if you play safe and write down all your assignments, your school life will be much more organized.
2. Several Pencils/Pens – School is the easiest place to lose your supplies, definitely when lending and sharing them. In my personal experiences, people would come up to me and ask, “Do you have a pencil I can borrow?” Being me, most of the time I would answer, “Yes!” However, doing this friendly gesture might be nice but in most times you may never get it back! Just remember to always bring a few extra supplies when it comes to these situations!
3. Pencil Case – If you want to be organized and not deal with hunting around your bag finding the pencil you threw in, it is best to bring a pencil case. This one might be a little obvious, but this comes in really handy! Here are some things I would keep in mind:
ü Pencils (I personally love mechanical ones!)
ü Pens (Blue and Black)
ü Highlighters (recommend 2 in different colors)
ü Ruler
ü Mini Stapler (optional)
ü Erasers
ü Scissors
ü Glue
ü Sharpener (optional)
4. Notebooks – For me, I like to have a separate notebook for every single class rather than one because I feel much more organized this way. I personally, I like to color code my books for every class so it is very easy to grab my notes for the day, making life way easier.
5- Binders & Dividers/Folders – No matter what, I always purchase these for all my classes. It keeps me organized and I can store all my loose papers all together, so I don’t loose them!
Hopefully this helps you to keep track of all your school supplies, and I wish for everyone to have a succesfull year ahead!
