Fresh Mint Tea

A nice glass of fresh mint tea in the morning is one of my favorite things to do during the summer. You can keep it hot or make it cold with ice, but I love it either way. It is not hard to make at all, it takes only 8 minutes of your day to make some perfect mint tea!!

What's in my Purse

My purse is usually a bottomless pit of coins, receipts, and gum. However, I just recently cleaned out my purse and found out what my go to products were. Of course I keep sunglasses, especially in the summer, I just pull them out when I'm driving when the sun is blinding me. I'm addicted to gum, so you probably will never see me not chewing it, and I will always have gum if anyone needs it. I keep air-pods in case I want to go workout or go to the library and want to use them. A water bottle is very important to always have to keep you hydrated throughout the day. My lips get chapped so easily, so I have to have some chapstick in my purse at all times. Keeping a journal is also very important to me because I love to doodle and pass the time if i'm bored. Makeup remover wipes are included because if I get tired of wearing makeup or I want to go to the gym I can just pull one out. I have nail polish to retouch them if they get chipped. I keep a chocolate bar if i'm craving something sweet or want a snack. My hair gets tangled to easily so I have to keep a hair brush to keep my hair from being a rats nest. Lastly, I have lotion so my hands don't get dry and it also makes you smell really good.

Summer Bucket List

This is my personal 2019 bucket list for this summer. I do this every year and I don't think I have ever checked off every single box. However, this will be the summer that I do. This list motivates me to get off my butt and go have some fun. I can sometimes find myself being lazy all day in the summer, but now I have more important things to do. I'm also going to get my friends to finish it with me so I don't have to do it on my own. It's a great bonding experience and it just makes summer more fun and interesting. If you like my bucket list you can print it out for yourself and check off these boxes with me!!!

Sad Songs for a Good Cry

Life is Good

There is so much to be thankful for in life, and we can sometimes forget how fortunate we truly are. Instead of dwelling on the hard things in life, I started thinking of all of the good things in life. This is just a reminder to not get to caught up on the negative when we are surrounded by beautiful, fun, and positive things. As I was trying to think of stuff to add to the post, I realized the ratio of good to bad  has a very big difference. There is so much more good than bad in this world. It can sometimes feel like that one bad thing can take over all the good things, but DON'T LET IT. Yea life can be tough a lot of the times, but just don't dwell on it and remind yourself of the good things you love and cherish. There is so much to be happy and thankful for, don't forget it!

Ways to Improve Mental Health

Mental health is SOO important. I have had my fair share of bad mental health days, weeks, and even months. I have suffered with anxiety for as long as I can remember, and it really can take an affect on my social life, school work, and sleep. It's so easy to have negative thoughts and emotions creep into your life and mind unexpectedly. The voice in your head is hard to escape but you have to remember you are stronger than you think. I have to remind myself almost everyday to not let my poor thoughts and feelings take over. When i'm feeling down, I try all of these things to help make myself feel better and more motivated. Most of the time it puts my mind at ease, but you have to remember, your mindset is the most important thing if you want to improve. You HAVE to stay positive, trying these things with a negative attitude will get you nowhere. So, think happy thoughts and keep smiling, I know you can beat this!

June Bullet Journal

Hello June (: This is my bullet journal spread for this month. If you don't know what a bullet journal is, to put it simply, it's basically a planner that helps you track the past, organize the present, and plan the future. I love being artsy and creative, so I love designing, organizing, and drawing in my journal. It may take awhile to do all of it, but it's worth it in the end in my opinion. Each month has a different theme in my journal, and this month I decided to go with the adventure/polaroid theme. The theme kind of ended up all over the place, but I really like how it turned out! I have to it all very clean and organized, or I go crazy. I am a big perfectionist, so that's probably why. The playlist page is a new page for me, and I think it's actually really cool. I feel like it will be really awesome to look back five or so yeas from now, and see what my favorite songs were each month. The verse of the day is one of my favorite pages, because I learn a new Bible verse each day and It helps start off the day on a good note. Let me know in the comments what your favorite page is!
