Tis the season... to be broke

Christmas time can be the happiest time of the year if people stop focusing on the things that don't matter. No one is going to care if you spent 20 dollars or 200 dollars on their gifts in the end its the memories that count. Instead of buying gifts why not buy memories. Instead of trying to buy everyone something special why not go out and do something special with them. Make a Christmas cards with clues to what they day will bring. There is so many fun holiday activities to do and its a perfect way to make this time count. Taking pictures and making a photo album is a great way to keep the memories. It could also be used as a Christmas present for the next year and a reminder of how the holidays are suppose be. Its really starting to hit me how fast time is going by. Being stressed about money and family gatherings is a terrible way to remember the holidays. This is suppose to be the happiest time of year so make it that way. 

Crunch Time

"You passed Spanish because you gave Professor Montoya a lap dance after the final"- Serena (Legally Blonde)

Its that terrible time of the year filled with stress and fear of failure finals week. The end of the semester is always the worst. This week I needed to watch Legally Blonde for inspiration more then ever. The beginning of law school for Elle was not very successful. She did not know how much work it would be and all she cared about was getting the man of her dreams back. When she realized she was better then that she became determined and ended up being top of her class. This inspires me so much because the beginning of the semester was rough on me. I didn't realize how much I was taking on so I started to panic. I dug my self a hole in almost all my classes I didn't know what to do so I turned to Legally Blonde for inspiration. After watching it I realize I just needed to focus and I became determined to keep up with all my classes. Now its crunch time and everything relies on these next final grades... talk about pressure. I am stressed but I know being stressed is not going to help so I came up with my own stress relieving  activities I will do the week of finals. Everyone has their own way of relieving stress but maybe it could work for you as well. 

1. Each day do a different type of workout 
• Zumba
• Running
• Kick boxing
• P-90x

Although working out takes up much needed study time is a perfect way to re-energize and get the brain ready for some more studying.
    
  2. Bribe yourself

When it gets to the point where i have so much more to do but the thought of looking at another page of notes makes my head spin I plan on giving myself something to look forward to.
 example: "If I finish this next chapter I can watch an episode of American Horror Story"

3. Talk to your friends

Everyone is feeling the stress of the end of the year so I find letting off some stress steam really helps.

4. Keep your phone elsewhere and off Facebook

These two things are the biggest distractions. Study time is study time nothing else. Staying away from these distractions helps me stay focused and get things done quicker. It also leaves more break time!

5. Watch Legally Blonde

I know that more then once I am going to want to quit but instead of quitting ill watch legally blonde to inspire me to keep it coming.

6. Drink lots of coffee

Although this is probably the worst thing for me to do I find my self more focused and alert the days I drink coffee and during finals week the more the better.

GOOD LUCK!

Black Friday

 
 

 Black Friday

is the perfect time to change your look. It is the one time of the year you are guaranteed  great deals!



I was working at the Merrimack Outlets on Black Friday so I didn't have time to go shopping. J. Crew was having a great sale everything in the store was half off! I got a few things from there but that is about it. Yesterday, Cyber Monday was also a great time to get some deals online. I am saving up for Christmas shopping so I didn't look at any of the deals because I knew I would be too tempted. I didn't get to do as much shopping as I would have liked but thats okay cause there is always next year!

Ombre Inspiration

Girls are always looking for new things too do with their hair. If its been one way for too long we always need to figure out someway to change it up. This summer I was so bored with my long brown hair I wanted something different but I didn't want to resort to chopping it off. Instead I decided to do something different while still keeping the length and I never have been more pleased with the outcome. I decided to get what is called ombre. A lot of celebrities have been styling their hair this way, Lauren Conrad was my inspiration for doing it.  For people who have no idea what ombre is it is the fading of color. I was so happy by the way it came out. I never want to get my hair cut because I don't want it to go away. I even inspired one of my friends to get it done and I have been noticing it more and more. Unfortunately since its getting so popular its starting not to be as unique but it is still beautiful and fun way to do something new with your hair.

Fall Inspiration

 When most people think of fall they think of apple picking, pumpkin spice lattes and the cold weather. When I think of fall I think of boots, scarves, leggings, oversized sweaters and jeans. Fall is an awesome season for boho which is my favorite style. Cute and comfortable is how fall fashion should be described. The only problem I have is that I want everything. Obviously this is impossible without the funds so I buy a few things here and hope that one day my wardrobe will eventually make it to Elle Woods status.

Recently I have been so inspired by all the new braid techniques out there. French braid is a thing of the past (although its still beautiful) there is so many more fun things to do with your hair nowadays. I am so bad at braiding my own hair I always make my friends do it for me but its just a fun and easy way too look nice without even trying. The waterfall braid is one of my favorites I havent gotten it down yet but this tutorial is very helpful.

 

 

 

My Inspiration

When I needed to be more motivated to clean my room or do my homework I would watch Legally Blonde. It may seem a bit odd that I became motivated from watching a movie but it helped me because ever since the first time I watched it when I was about ten I was so inspired to be just like El Woods. She dressed in the cutest clothes, was so dedicated to get want she wanted, and never let anyone bring her down. If that doesn't scream girl power I dont know what does. Thats why the focus of my blog is Legally Blonde insprations. I will post random things I found to be inspirational each week. So get ready to be inspired.
