A Clear Face In One Day

Hey everyone!!  I wanted to drop in real fast because 1. I haven't posted in a while and it was starting to kill me and 2. I really wanted to share this awesome product (not sponsored) that I bought recently and have found that I can't live without.  But I want to start off by saying that I recently went back to work and school from the summer and that's why I've been MIA, life is just quite crazy for me right now and when I'm not working or learning I'm sleeping or thinking about sleeping haha.  So for all of you that just went back to school or work from summer, I feel your pain.  Anyways, back to this amazing find that I recently discovered....so I have pretty clear skin.  I've never suffered from acne or constant pimples but I do get a pimple or two once a month (and I'm sure you can all guess what time of the month that is) so this month when my monthly appearance of zitage came I decided to go on a search for a good remedy to clear it up and I found it.  Drum roll please......Clean and Clear Acne Spot Treatment is the bomb-dot-com ya'll.  I absolutely love this stuff and my favorite part is that it actually works.  I let my pimple (such an ugly word) get so bad that it had a huge white head and in less than 24 hours of applying this stuff the size was reduced, white head gone, healing had begun and soreness was no more.  LOVE!!  I was in breakout heaven ya'll and I'm so glad that I get to go out this weekend without ugly zits.  So I just wanted to share that with ya'll and tell you that if you suffer from breakouts you should totally try this stuff. 

Amazeballs!!

Day in the Life: TopGolf and Downtown Dallas

Hey everyone!!  Just thought I would share with ya'll the best weekend ever. 

Hair Tutorial: Curl Hair With Flat Iron

Hey ya'll!! So as you can see, I love to wear my hair curly and it's not just because I feel pretty but because I actually get compliments on it quite often and I mean who doesn't like that?? Right?  So I decided to show ya'll how I curl my hair because it's really simple 1. because it's done with a flat iron and 2. it only takes 15 minutes tops.  I explain more detail in the video on why I prefer a flat iron, etc.  So enough of my jabber, here ya go :)

Day in the Life: Texas!

Hey ya'll!! So I just wanted to bring you along with me on yet another day in my life. You get see yummy coffee and some awesome Texas plains with a tad of Dallas traffic.  Enjoy!

DIY Drawer Organizers

Hey ya'll!! So I recently re-organized my makeup drawers in my bathroom and decided that instead of paying oodles of money for ugly plastic organizers I would just make my own, so I did.  So this is just a little how to on making your own drawer organizers for cheap :)

BEFORE

my cluttered drawer :/

AFTER

organized :) so refreshing

gather all your random food

boxes and save them

measure your box so it fits in your drawer

(mine is 2 in. high)

then cut it to size

here are my cut boxes

now whip out your mod podge

and cute wrapping paper

measure your wrapping paper to fit your box

 (I recommend one with sq. in. lines)

I put little pieces on the corners just

for good measure but you don't have to

after pieces are measured and cut you can then apply

the mod podge and begin to cover the box

it's much easier if you wrap the whole piece

around the box

I then put a little rectangular piece on the bottom

to cover up any unwanted cardboard

VOILA!

all done

I hope this tutorial was helpful and inspires you to get crafty with organizing!!! 

An Evening in the Life of

Hey ya'll!  So last night (saturday) I ran around Dallas with a friend and decided to kind of show you some of what the big D has to offer and I didn't get to really record much but I'm doing this again next weekend so hopefully next weekend I can show you all the fun stuff I like to do in the big city. But anyways I hope you enjoy!

my DART pass :)

30 Day Vegetarian Challenge

Hello all!! (haha that sounded so weird in my head)  So today I decided that I'm going to do a 30 day vegetarian challenge.  Yes, you heard that right, I will not be eating meat for 30 days....so scary!!!  But I want to do it  because I'm working on losing weight and I think it will be a healthy way to go about it.  I was going back and forth about if I should post this in just my weight loss blog or if I should put it in my "everything" blog as well and I decided to go with both because as much as it does have to do with weight loss I did say that this blog would have a tad bit of cooking talk as well so I figured I could post about my new recipes that I try :)  I'm really excited for this because not only is it going to be a challenge but I get to experiment in the kitchen and that will be fun!  So anyways I just wanted to share that with ya'll and tell you that you should try it as well.  Have a good rest of the week ladies!

Oh some outfits of the weekend before I go......

 for my brother's birthday dinner on sunday

those amazing curls were done with a flat iron

night out on the town saturday night

top was found at forever 21 (my fav store)

My New Washroom

Hey ya'll!  So I recently re-did my washroom and I just wanted to show it to ya'll.  I am actually pretty much re-doing everything in my house.  I am currently in the middle of like a bajillion projects; right now I am tiling my floor, painting doors, putting in new trim, remodeling the fireplace, and painting rooms.  So I will definitely be posting more about my house as I get new projects done.  But anyways, enough of that jabber, let me show you my washroom :)

this is before and as you can see it was just super boring and icky white 

 this is after :) I think a light blue just gives it a clean and bright look

I used Tropical Lagoon by Glidden

 this is the tile I chose to go with for the whole house, doesn't it look nice??

I love how it looks with the blue

 this is a before picture of the shelf, so embarrassing how gross it looks

and this is after I painted the shelf, it looks so clean :)

and the final look :) 

I definitely want to put bins on the shelves to make it more organized and cute and I want to put up some pictures to add a little more life but for now this is it and I love it!!



New Fitness Blog

Hey ya'll! So I just wanted to tell ya'll that I started a new blog for everything fitness related called Workin' Out and you can navigate to it by clicking here or by simply clicking on the above tab titled workin' out.  I know I told ya'll that I was going to discuss fitness here but I figured a separate blog would make it easier for those that are only here for fitness related things and also so I can post on fitness more often like hopefully everyday.  So yea that's all I have to say for now.  Have a great monday!!!

Beverly Hills Vlog

Hey everyone! So I was watching tv in bed and decided I needed to get some words out right then and there before I forgot everything I wanted to say so I picked up my iphone and recorded a little vlog for ya'll.  Now this is my first ever video moment so it's not perfect but I kind of enjoyed recording so I think I might do it more often (I'm thinking once a week) and hopefully I'll get better at it.  So anyways here ya go.

Gettin' A Little Crafty- iPhone Cover

Hey everyone!! Don't you get in that mood where you just feel really crafty and you are dying to make something pretty? Well that was me tonight, and luckily I had been planning on doing this project for a while so I planned ahead and got everything I needed.  Yay me!  Anyways, long story short I made my own one of a kind iphone cover.  And I just wanted to share it with you because it's acutally a really cheap way to cover your iphone.  I hate wanting super cute covers that cost anywhere between $10-$50 because with my ADD tendencies I get tired of a cover really fast so it adds up, luckily I figured out a way to cover my phone for a total of $1.80  Yes ladies you heard that correctly, for less than $2 I now have a super cute phone.  But enough of my babbling, let me show you how to make it!!

You will need:
    1. scissors
    2. pencil
    3. clear iphone case (I got mine for $1 on ebay)
    4. scrapbook paper or fabric of your choosing (Hobby Lobby has paper for $0.80)



Take your clear iphone case and trace its shape onto your scrapbook paper.  Now, cut out the iphone shape and place it in your case to make sure it fits, make any alterations if needed and while it's in there trace the camera hole.  Then take it out and cute your camera hole.   Now you're done!! Stick it back into the case and enjoy your one of a kind iphone!!

Here are some pictures of mine:

I went from this....

To this!!!



So anyways I'm glad I got to share a little bit of craftiness with ya'll today.  And I hope ya'll try it as well.  Later ladies!!!

Workin' Out

Hey everyone!  I'm gonna make this short because I have family in town (fun stuff) but I just wanted to tell ya'll that I think it's time I get my butt in gear and start seriously working out again.  I have to get this bod back in shape.  I'm going to start this little work out adventure on Monday but yesterday I decided that I wanted to do something active so I walked 2.5 miles and then today I couldn't really do much because I have family here but I did mow which is better than nothing and it burns calories as well so I'm cool with that.  I want to lose around 30 lbs so I plan on giving ya'll updates about once a month so you can see my progress but if I come across a cool work out or awesome tips on staying healthy I will definitely randomly post about that.  So that's pretty much all I have for today, just wanted to tell ya'll that little tid bit.  I hope ya'll are having a great weekend!! Ta ta for now.

Sunday was a Funday

Hey readers!!! So yesterday was a fun day for me, I went shopping and to lunch with my best friend Roxi.  We went to Olive Garden (yum! I love their chocolates) and then off to shopping where I dreamed about owning every Nine West, Michael Kors, and Coach purse....but hey who doesn't dream of that right?  But what I really want to talk about is how cute my hair looked.  Does that sound conceited?  I don't think so.  Anyways, have ya'll ever woke up and your hair was like a total disaster?  Well, that was me yesterday and I was like "oh no" because I had plans for the day where the public would see me and I had so little time to make it look somewhat decent but somehow I pulled through with this cute hair-do.

It took me about a total of 2 minutes to throw this together.  Basically all I did was pull my hair back into a messy bun and throw a double band headband on (and I kind of pinned it against my head at the top to make it stay high) but that's it!!  I have seen a bunch of cute red carpet looks with double band headband up-dos and what not so I decided to make a casual cute look with it.  I was pretty proud of my quick fix.  So I went out looking good I think.

So anyways that's all I have for today.  Just wanted to share that little idea with ya'll and I hope you like it and try it as well.

This Should Be Fun

Hey Everyone!  So, as you can see this is my first ever blog post....yay!  So I just wanted to dedicate this post to getting to know the crazy brunette behind this blog.  For starters if you haven't figured it out already my name is Heather.  I am currently attending college in which I am studying psychology.  I love youtubing so you might find some youtube videos on here often and I totally enjoy taking pictures of pretty much everything as well....so don't worry ya'll, there will be lots of visuals.  Oh and I was born and raised in the great state of Texas so I will probably say "ya'll" a lot.  I originally wanted to start my blog for my weight loss journey but then I got to thinking "hey! why not just do a blog about everything."  I am totally ADD and you will definitely start noticing so I didn't really just want to focus on one thing, that's no fun.  So in my blog you will find everything; we will discuss getting fit, beauty, fashion, funny crap, a little bit of cooking and a whole lot of life.  But anyways I think I'm going to keep it at that for my first blog and I will check in with ya'll later (probably tomorrow).
