A Bit Weird

Everyone has habits. I mean there has to be.

There is always something we do when we're nervous, scared, worried, happy, bored, or even all the time. 

For me there are a lot of things I think are weird and maybe could qualify as habits, 

but that's not what I'm here to talk about. I am here to talk about my weirdest and most random habits.

Sometimes I do this when I'm bored. When I need time to pass and don't really care about my surrounding. Other times, I just do it because I can.

And here they are. 

So being a girl means long hair. Being me means long damaged hair. It's not that I don't take care of them, I do. But that's another story. 

With this long hair, I have the access to look at it, especially the ends. Which means, yes you guessed it, split-ends. I have the worst habit of pulling at my split-ends. The minute I remember I have hair, which I do sometimes forget I do have, I have to mess with it. I even somehow manage to do it when I have it up in a pony-tail and a bun. Like I will go through so much, just to play with my hair. I'm not the only one in the world who does that, obvs, but I feel like I pass a limit of doing it. Then at the end of whatever I am doing, I look down at my lap and, of course, I have a pile of hair. GROSS. So I awkwardly try to push it off me without people noticing, which isn't easy when there are a class full of students or room full of people. 

Another weird habit I have is picking at my cuticles. There isn't ever really a time when I'm not picking at my cuticles. I mean, I take care of my nails and stuff, but my cuticles, I swear hates me. It is never not dry. I have gotten like many cuticle creams and stuff, and I even got through a couple weeks using it daily, but that was like high-school. Everyday in my Genocide class my friends would ask for it, so then I would use it too, but ever since high-school ended, I have always had dry cuticles. It's only my middle, pointer, and thumbs that are always dry too. Like why? On both hands. I don't know how to remind myself to keep using the cuticle creams, but god I wish it would stop. 

And the worst one is biting my lips. Now, I'm not talking sexy lip biting. I'm talking full on gnawing on my lips and inner lip/mouth area. I don't really remember how it started. It must've been on a very bad dry lip day or something, but that started and it has gone bad to shit from there. I can't stop. I try and say to myself 'Alrighty, today I'm going to try and not bite my lips', but that doesn't work. I try for a bit then I end up saying 'screw it'. I even made a joke New Year's Resolution to not bite my lips and I have FAILED!!! clearly. I even ran out of gum, which usually keeps my teeth busy, so it's really bad right now. It also doesn't help that it's winter here. 

So those are my super weird and random habits. Well, at least I think they're weird and random, but you might not. What are some of your bad habits? Are you willing to accept it's a bad habit? I don't know. 

Let me know if any of you guys struggle with this And let me know if you have found a way out. Help a sister out!!!

Lush Haul Plus Perfume

Alright then. 

I lost my shit and got some stuff. 

I don't really have an excuse for the Lush items except 'let me enjoy my life'. But for the perfume, I need it for my trip to India this summer and thought I would buy it now and just get it out of the way. I still have my other bottle, which still has like a fourth of the bottle left, but what the hell. 

So here's what I got!! Enjoy!

So this I got from Sephora. I know that Macy's have it for sure. I am sure you can find it in a lot of other stores as well. I went in to get the 3 oz one, but they ran out so I just got the 1.7 oz instead. I am honestly in love with this smell. I have read the ingredients that went into this and it says it's made from whatever yuzu is with pomegranate, peony, magnolia, lotus flower and a couple of other things, but for some reason I smell pink rose. My favorite smell in this world is pink rose. It specifically has to be pink. I don't know, but it smells better than other roses. And this really reminds me of that. I also like the ones from Chanel, but this one always wins my heart. I would say this is like my signature scent, so I'll probably keep buying this forever. This is called Versace Bright Crystal (kinda obvious) and it cost $70. If you guys are interested the 3 oz costs $90. 

This is also a Bath Bomb. It is the Butterball. It is made out of vanilla and stuff. I liked the sound of that so I got it. It also smells quite nice. This cost $4.95, so that was nice. 

I wrote this one in my notes as the pink Boobs. I thought you would want to know. I honestly don't even know. But this is another Bubble Bar. It is the Rose Jam Bubbleroon. It's another rose one, so I had to get it. This feels super like smooth. Yeah.  This one was $6.25.

This one is the Blackberry Bath Bomb. It looks really like a pastel purple in here, but in real life, it looks more darker with like a hint of blue. I got this because I love eating blackberry so I thought I would try bathing in it.... This one was $6.35

This is the Creamy Candy Bubble Bar. I really thought this looked cute. I mean look at the little flower. Adorable! This one was $7.40

I can't really remember which this one was. I tried looking it up on line and there are two that looked similar to it. So this is either Bright Side, which was $10.95, or Karma, which was $8.60. I was kind of rushing as I got this so I can't really remember what this smells like. But I am sure I will enjoy non-the-less.  They were both Bubble Bars so I am sure of that. I think. I don't know. Don't take my word for that. 

This is from Lush Obvi! It's the Rose Queen Bath Bomb. It smells like heaven, so I had to have it. And I do love me my roses. It was $5.25

So that was my haul, kinda. Does 7 things count as a haul? I don't know. I am going to call it that. I really am so freaking excited to try out the Lush Bath Bombs and the Bubble Bars. I might just keep my perfume in the box and take it to India like that. My other ones should last me for 4 more months. 

But yeah! Hope you guys enjoyed that. Let me know if you guys figure out what that orange Bubble Bar is. And if you have any questions about where to find theses things or anything else, also let me know!!! 

Shoppaholic...

So once again, I have gone shopping. It was fun, it was crazy, I went a little mental, and most importantly I have more clothes!! Yayy. Celebrate with me. 

Anyways. I went to H&M, Marshall, and Forever21. Obvs. And I basically stuck to a pattern here. 

I am really into cropped tops lately, so I went a bit crazy with those. I already have like a stripy one, 2 black ones, cat patterned, and a floral one, but a girl can never have too many clothes. 

SO. Here they are. 

WARNING!!!: DO EXCUSE MY NAILS. I HAVE YET TO DO THEM. 

Enjoy!!

This is from H&M. This one is white stripes with a more sheer see through material with it. I got this in a medium because I sometimes like my cropped top better loose. With this being sort of see through I didn't want a tight one where it could literally see through. This was also on sale for $5.00.

This is another one from Forever21. It is just a cropped top. It's kind of like a turtle neck, but not really. I also got this in a medium, because it looked really small so I didn't wanna take any chances of it being too tight. This was $6.99 not on sale. 

This one is from Marshall. I got this a bit before I got these other ones. I seriously love this because other spaghetti strapped blouses usually go down and show my non-existence boobs to everyone, but this one actually stays up. I really love this color for some reason. I got this one for $12.99.

This one is from H&M. I found this color so pretty. It's just a basic maroon. I love this texture. It's like a zig-zag pattern and it feels thicker than normal skirts. I thought it was lovely for around this time of the year. Of course I'll pair it up with tights underneath. It reaches like mid-thigh and it's high waisted. I got this one for $17.95.

This one is from Forever21. This one and the bottom one are the same pants. You can't really tell how high it reaches on this picture so I thought I would put up a side way picture to show you. It is pleather of course. I really like this one. It is super comfy to wear and it goes with basically everything. It is semi high waisted and I just love it. I got this for $19.90.

This one is a dark-ish green one. It feels amazing. It's like a velvet material and I really liked it for a more wintery season. I got this from Forever21. It was on sale for  $5.90. So that was great.

This is from Forever21. It was not on sale, but I seriously loved it. It has more of a summer vibe. I don't think you can tell, but the color is more navy blue. The back has a little slash overlapping each other, which I forgot to show. This was $17.95 and I LOVE it. 

This is from Forever21 as well. I already have like a billion knitted sweaters, but I fell in love with this one instantly. I mean look at it. It's a little puppy!!! Anyways, it has little studs going around the neck area which makes me feel like a dog. But it's cute. I got this on clearance and it was only $6.99!

Now this last item is from H&M. It is a maroon stretchy high waisted pants. I didn't put it on because it is too small for me. I really like this pants, so I am going to go and return it and get it in a size bigger. I really like how it feels. It is super thin feeling and the zipper is on the side so I don't have to worry about the zipper bulge. I got this for $9.95.

So there's that. Let me know what you liked and what you did not like. I know I can't make the pleather pants look good on me because I am short and curvy. But non the less. I love it and I shall continue wearing it. Hope you did enjoy it. 

Boredom Kills

I'm no expert in what you should do with your life to keep yourself active and busy. BUT I am an expert in being bored.

Out of 100%, I am bored 85% of the time. *I live a sad life*. But there are times where I wish I could get my lazy butt up and do something about it. I wish I could change my boredom and turn it into something that is good in life. 

So instead of doing them myself I thought I would share some of the things you guys can try doing to keep yourself busy or something. You don't have to. But here you go:

1. Organize: I have recently thought about organizing my room and home so things look neat and cute at the same time. I live with my family and there being a 9 year old boy, 16 year old boy, and me, things seem super all over the place. There are papers, books, clothes, food, writing utensils, and bunch of other things everywhere. Like there isn't a place in this house where you won't find a pencil. TIP: Get wooden baskets, or metal baskets and put all the books and papers in there. It makes things look super neat and pretty. I might not sound like much, but they do so much to keep everything organized. You can even do this in your bathroom to keep all the bottles and different things all together and neat looking. For pencils and pens, get little cups or small vases and it looks artsy and cute and now there wont be pencils everywhere.  
2. DIY: I have seen so many cute DIY's online. I have even attempted to make one. It turned out pretty cute, might I say. It's just a regular mason jar and puffy paint. I chose a silver one and made designs on the jar. It turns a normal looking jar into something different and cute. I have pens and pencils in it, so thats another thing. I also like putting make-up brushes or lip glosses and other things in these.
3. Work-out: (HAH!). So I might not ever get myself to do this, but it is a really good use of your time. I don't think going to the gym is always needed. I mean you can do push-ups, sit-ups, crunches, planks(forearms or hands), squats(with and without weights), wall-sits(with and without weights), dance, meditate(even for just 5 minutes), and stretch. 
4. Cook: This is something I think a lot of people might struggle with, but would help in a lot of ways. It gets you trying new things. It is healthier than going out to eat. It saves you a lot of money in the long run. It is just over all really good for you. 

Of course you don't have to all of them or even one of them. I thought I would share some things you can do. I definitely wish I would do some of these things. I am not going to be a hypocrite and say you should be doing these things when I can't even get myself to do it, but it never hurts to suggest. Maybe you need ideas and different activities to do. I don't know, but do let me know what else you think we can do when we're bored. I might start doing some because it is the New Year. I should try to change. 

Why So Weird

Today I thought I would write about something I struggle with in my life. I think I'm not alone on this, so I thought 'I shall share my feelings'. 

My problem: MAJOR LAZINESS!!!

Let's be honest. Even if you're the least lazy person in this world, you just have those days where you don't feel like doing anything. Be honest with yourself. You know you have those days. 

Well, for me. I have a lot of them. It's not something that happens from time to time. It happens EVERYDAY! I don't mean to do it on purpose. I think. I mean there aren't many things a girl can do when she's overly protected by her parents. 

So what I do end up doing is: 

watching movies

eating

sleeping

watching tv shows

watching youtube videos

doing my nails

doing my make-up

doing nothing

being bored

look at facebook

look at instagram

look at tumblr

go back to facebook

then watch more youtube videos

As fun as that sounds. It's not. I mean sure sometimes you want nothing, but to cuddle up in bed and be a bum. But when you constantly do that every single day. You get TIRED. Like you actually get tired. The amount of times I sigh in a day is pretty much unhealthy. 

Of course I want to change. Of course. I want to do other things. I want to be more active. 

I want to:

go on a walk

go to the gym

read

go ice-skating

go shopping

go get a life

But it seems impossible at this point. 

So I have decided. I SHALL CONTINUE BEING LAZY. Because let's be honest. One day I'm going to have to be active. I'm going to have to work, take care of my own house, my family, my kids, cook, and clean. So I've decided. Why want all those active things when I can enjoy being lazy when I can actually be lazy. When my time comes, I will change and be all about that crazy busy life, but until then. I WILL BE A BUM, and like it.

So let me know if you guys can relate or not. Judge me? maybe I might change I don't know.... but yeah! I think for the next post I might write about what I wish I would do when I'm bored.
Now I am going to make lemon cake because I'm just a fatty like that.
