What's in my bag (an update)

Hey guys!

And before you ask this is totally not a filler post because I have no idea what to blog about.

Of course not. That's just crazy talk.

Okay, so you caught me. It's been about 4 days since I made my last blog post and I've just been so busy! And I really hate making excuses, so I promise I'm going to do better to post. I just have to figure out what to actually post about now. I've been pretty much chilling at home everyday lately, so I never get dressed up (outside of my workout clothes, which I'm guessing you really don't care about seeing). And I never put make up on.

Therefore, you don't get to be blessed with seeing pictures of my funny looking adorable face! I mean, unless you want to see pictures of me, sweating buckets while I'm dying on the floor of my living room.

No? Didn't think so!

Anyway, so, if you're wondering why I've been busy, I'll fill you in. Of course I've been spending a lot of time working out lately. It's like my new hobby (pretty much completely replaced gaming at the moment, eek). I do my round of 30 Day Shred, then sometimes add in another round if I'm feeling extra daring. Then I'll usually do some cardio, and now lately I'm really into yoga.

And in addition to that, on the 30th, it's actually mine and my boyfriend's 3 year anniversary.

Cue the 'Aww's.

So I've been scrambling trying to get ready for that. And actually, the gift I had planned kind of fell through, because I won't be able to get the materials on time. So now, all of tomorrow I'm going to have to work really hard to create an entirely new gift. I won't tell you guys what it is, but I will say that it requires my (nearly non-existent) sewing skills. I'll probably show you guys after I give it to him. ♥

Oh, and I'll bake. Because he's got a huge sweet tooth.

Alright, so, onto the 'What's in my Bag' topic. I've seen this around on blogs. (Usually in their archives). So I figured I'd show you guys what I carry around. It's nothing too exciting though. Sorry!

1. My purse! I got it for Christmas last year, and I really need a new one. The little gems are falling off of it, and it's just a little too bright for my liking now anyway.
2. A matching wallet for my purse. Which is broken, by the way. Even more of an excuse to buy a new purse/wallet combo!

3. My 3DS XL and all the games I carry around with it. This is by far my favorite thing in my purse. It's my baby. ♥

4. My nail file! Not just any nail file. A nail file with a really pretty design on it!
5. Bobby pins and hair ties. A lot of bobby pins. An unnecessary amount of bobby pins.
6. My cell phone! Complete with it's really pretty case. ♥
7. Movie tickets! Not sure why I still have these in my purse, considering I went to this movie (Warm Bodies) last month.
8. Bracelets! For all accessory related emergencies!
9. A comb. A normal, boring comb.
10. Pencils and eraser. For when the fancy to draw strikes me.

11. Best. Restaurant. Ever. Sad there's only about $3 left.
12. Aaaand, an expired Gamestop Power Up Rewards card. I really need to stop back into Gamestop and renew that.
13. The picture I carry around from Prom of my boyfriend's senior year (I had already graduated). I look horrible in it, but he's a cutie.


So yeah, that's basically it.
Sorry for this rather failtastic blog post. But at least I got to share something about myself. I'll try to post again soon! Promise.

Until Next Time,
Bye Lovelies! ♥

How to make a healthy smoothie

Hey guys!

I just wanted to share with you a really yummy smoothie I made today! It's healthy and super simple!

I love simple drinks/meals because I can't cook, at all. And I don't like spending much time in the kitchen. Heck, I didn't even really know how to use the blender very well before today.

(You can tell I grew up mainly on fast food and the microwave, can't you?)

Now, I will state that if you like really sweet smoothies, you're going to have to add something more than what I made. My smoothie was about as sweet as the fruits that were in it. So if that's not sweet enough for you, I'll list some things you can add in to boost up the sweetness.

This is for a Strawberry Banana smoothie by the way! (My favorite!)

I think next, I'll try a peanut butter banana smoothie. Yumm!

Anyway, these are the ingredients you'll need:

•One Banana
• Around a cup of Strawberries

• A cup of almond milk

That's it! I don't use ice because I don't like how the smoothie tastes when it's all watered down. Ick.

So, to make the smoothie, the first thing you'll have to do is cut up the strawberries beforehand. I did it the night before just so it wouldn't take as long this morning.

Take your fresh strawberries and start cutting! I cut nearly the whole container because I wasn't sure how much I wanted to use in my smoothie. It totally depends on you guys how many you want to use. I'm not a huge fan of bananas, but I like that slight hint of banana in my smoothie, so I like to use a lot of strawberries.

My number of strawberries became fewer as I cut them because someone decided to snack on them as I was cutting them up! (Last time I make smoothies around my boyfriend!)

Now, once you've cut off all the tops, put them in a sealed container and stick it in the fridge. Refrigerate until frozen. Or just do what I did and leave them in overnight for the next morning.

Now, once they're all frozen solid, toss them in the blender. All my strawberries ended up getting frozen together, so I had to defrost them a bit.

They were very stubborn strawberries.

So, once you manage to unstick them from each other and toss them in the blender, break apart the banana into a few sections and just toss it in there. Add a cup of almond milk (or more if you want your smoothie really runny. I prefer thick smoothies though.) and turn on the blender!

Remember the lid before you power up the blender though. The lid is pretty important.

And then:

Tada! Your very own delicious Strawberry Banana smoothie. Super low in calories and incredibly delicious.

Now, if you have more of a sweet tooth, but you still want your smoothie to be healthy, there are definitely things to add.

• Honey
• Chocolate/Vanilla Protein Powder
• Agave
• Truvia
• Stevia

If any of you guys knows any good sweeteners, definitely let me know in the comments! I'm a newbie to smoothie making, so I'm always looking for tips! 

Also, 

I wanted to thank you guys for reading my blog! All you guys are so fantastic and I actually reached 50 readers finally! And within just around a month of serious blogging. You guys are so great.

Thank you.

I'll be making the two ingredient cookies soon, so look forward to that. c:

Until Next Time,

Bye Lovelies! ♥

Time to show off my new sunglasses!

Hey guys!

Really exciting news! The sunglasses I won from Lara Lizard's giveaway came in the mail today!

I cannot express how impatient I've been for the last week, waiting for these beauties to arrive. And now I have them. Ack, excited!

Aren't they cute? 

I will admit, as soon as I put them on, I basically feel like a rockstar. Not quite sure why. But as I was looking at myself in the mirror, I was sorely tempted to start playing some air guitar or something. I haven't actually owned a pair of sunglasses in way too long. So I'm super happy about this!

When the package arrived, I was happy to find them wrapped in both plastic, and the sack that came with it. They're from Sunglasses Shop, by the way. And I really love them, so I'm really debating buying more pairs from them. I know I should only need one pair of sunglasses, but I'm so obsessed with them this spring, I really can't help but want more!

They're super reflective, which looks awesome. And they work so good! I pretty much am in love with them.  Madly in love with them.

Does anyone else think I look like a rockstar? No? Just me?

I can't wait to wear them out, once it warms up a bit more and the sun actually comes out. (Which probably won't be this weekend, since it's suppose to snow. Aghhh.) I'll definitely take more pictures then!

Also, I really love the t-shirt I'm wearing today, so I wanted to show you guys.

Isn't it cute? I got it from Wet Seal years ago, but then I gained weight and couldn't wear it. After losing 16 lbs last year, I just discovered it fits pretty well again! It says 'Lost in a Dream', in case you can't tell. Which you probably can't because I was lame and didn't move my hair out of the way. Oops!

But I love Hello Kitty, and I love Alice in Wonderland, so when I saw this t-shirt that combined the two, I had to have it! Even if I hate wearing t-shirt, this is still one of my favorite articles of clothing. Maybe I can try to alter it so it doesn't feel like it's choking me.

Oh! And I made my smoothie today, but it didn't turn out how I wanted to, so you guys don't get to see yet. (It had too much banana taste! Ugh. ) I'll be trying again soon though, and I'll show you guys soon!

Promise. ♥

Until Next Time,
Bye Lovelies! ♥
