Personal Update

 Sorry for the lack of posting beauties:( School seems to want to take up all my time these past few days and I've just been crazy busy!! Last week I asked my best friend Charlie to Snowball, my winter formal dance, it was a lot of fun to surprise him. I've been trying to find a dress and get everything ready for that which has been super stressful. I ordered a dress online last week and it came a few days ago. I was super bummed out to open the box, zip it up and realize that I didn't like it at all... so the search goes on. I need to hurry cause it's this saturday. Clearly I'm very prepared except I'm probably the biggest procrastinator you'll meet.

Like I've mentioned before, I'm in Senate at my school and were planning this big 

fundraiser called Wish Week, I'm sure some of you have it at your schools. It's a super amazing week Senate puts on to raise money for two people. This year its a little girl with leukemia and her dream is to go to Disney World, and then an old lady with ahlzimers who wants to ride in a hot air balloon. Oh my gosh, so adorable. But any how, there's a bunch of really cool events that we put on and themed dress up days and such. I'm excited to see how it all turns out because I've put so much time and effort into it. Next week if I'm not posting much know thats what's taking up most of my time on top of school and social stuff etc. If I'm not posting please don't get discouraged or annoyed, I'm trying my absolute best! I never want to let my readers down:)

Music Pouring through my Winter Window

      Before I fall asleep at night in the winter, I slowly slide open my bedroom windows letting all the crisp air in. The glass shakes from the cold and the white wood lets out a loud scream when peeled back. A wave of cold oxygen floods into my room like rushing water in a rivers drop. The temperature stings my cheeks and my nose turns into a deep amaranth pink color. I close my eyes and take a deep breath. The draft tickles my eyelashes and goose bumps crawl over my skin. I clench my floor length curtins around the window pane but the wind catches them and blows them through my room. They dance in the wind and cast shadows on the wall that look like the delicate sugar plum fairies right off the Nutcracker stage. I quickly tip-toe to my bed and snuggle under the warm blankets and fresh linened sheets. I am now warm in a frigid place that is full of unknown creatures and piercingly cold air.

Fresh n' Fruity

Some people have asked me on Tumblr and Instagram if I can post kind of like healthy foods, snacks, and what I do to stay fit so I guess I'll try and go for it!
Tuesday I had a sweet healthy snack which was raspberry mango organic sorbet with cut up fruit! I love doing this when I'm in the mood for something sweet because it replaces the taste of a unhealthy candy bar or fatty ice cream. Its good for you and will probably make your day a little sweeter too! Eating healthy makes your skin brighter and clearer, gives you more energy and helps you focus harder.

Eat well. Look well. Feel well. 

Stuck in the Drought

        Life is a funny thing. Some mornings you wake up and feel refreshed, awake and alive. Like you just jumped in the salty aqua ocean water and went for a swim. You hop out of bed with a lively bounce in your step and feel like you can take on the world by yourself. That nothing and no one can stop you. You’re positive and bubbly and ready for something better the lies beyond the wood of your front door. 

But then other days you can barely open your eyes when your alarm rings out in the morning. The sun coming in the dirty glass window is blinding and horrific. You wish there could be darkness for a little longer. You pull your covers over your head to blind out the light and seep down into your box spring hoping your parents won’t notice your not getting up for a dreadful day at school. 

       As teenagers we feel so many emotions. Its the years of our lives when we are the most insecure,  and unsure about anything and everything. Some say high school is a “roller coaster of emotions” but I think its just a living hell. The growing kids who supposedly need 8-10 hours of sleep, are working their butts off into the wee hours of night for school and getting up before the sun even peeks it’s head over the rolling hills. Thats the problem, people just expect things and for us to preform perfectly when it’s basically impossible. You adults try it again for four years and see how you feel in the end. It’s not  like it used to be when you were growing up. Now it is a never ending cycle of the same high standards you can’t seem to meet and daily routine. The only change is your attitude. 

       If you have not noticed by now, the past few weeks I’ve kind of been in that mind set I talked about in the second paragraph. Not even wanting to see the light of the day, let alone try to find it. I have no idea why though. Maybe its because I am still getting over a cold so I’m tired and the fact that the weather has been absolutely disgusting the past few days. In Colorado when it won’t snow in winter you’ll find that its not freezing cold nor hot. It stays in this awkward stage of haze where its literally just depressing. Cloudy skies and brown grass. I’m done with it. I need sunny sand or a snowflake wonderland; neither of which I can obtain right now. When I decide where I’m going to college wether is going to be a huge factor. I’ll go somewhere with the ocean and warmth to bring out my sunny joyful personality otherwise it gets hidden by the clouds. But since I’m stuck here all I need are the little things. A healthy breakfast to start my day, lots of water to keep me feeling replenished in this dry land; a positive and out going attitude at school otherwise my day will drag on for hours. Things like that to keep me on my toes so that the next day I will wake up with that bounce in my step and a smile on my lips.
