Cleanse and Kayla Itsines BBG

Hello! So lately I've been on a health kick. College food was kind of kicking my butt. I mean I only gained about 3 pounds, but I just felt so unhealthy all the time. So I decided to switch around my habits and get back to how I used to eat. So I've been substituting fruit and vegetables in place of other foods that aren't as good for me in my diet. I have also been trying to drink more water, but sometimes I get so bored of the taste...or lack thereof haha. So I've found a great way to help add a little flavor to water is cleanse water! I've been putting half a lemon, some strawberries, and raspberries into a water bottle filled with water and letting it sit over night. All the flavors from the fruit end up in the water and it ends up tasting so yummy (and it looks pretty too haha)!!

 Another part of my health kick has been a new workout regime. I purchased the Kayla Itsines Bikini Body Guide and let me tell you, I haven't been this sore since I played lacrosse. I have noticed a difference in my legs. I'm hoping the abs will come soon, but I'm only on week four so we'll see haha.  But something I've been doing to help with the soreness and staying limber is yoga! I absolutely love it! I feel so relaxed and refreshed and properly stretched afterwards. Plus I get to improve my flexibility which I've been wanting to do also.  And I just do some YouTube yoga videos and they work just as well as a yoga class and I get it all in the comfort and ease of my dorm :). So all round great benefits haha.

I'm so good at warrior one right guys? Haha. What do you do to stay healthy? Especially at college! Let me know in a comment! Hugs <3

Hellloooo!!

Today has been such a good day, especially in comparison to earlier this week. I was so incredibly busy with school work, working out, and hanging out with friends. I mean, most of my time was definitely taken up with school work (thank you chemistry exam). But everything is done now and I get to relax. I just have one more class today and then I get to go home for spring break!! I really wish I was going somewhere warm with a beach, but you can't have everything haha. So I'll get to see my super fluffy and adorable dog, eat amazing home cooked meals (love you mom! I don't even know if she reads this haha), and see my family and friends from home :). This break is so needed I've been working my butt off in school and I really hope it pays off. Fingers crossed everyone!! But now I'm ready for some downtime (minus the fact that my professors still gave me homework like thanks guys).

Let me know what your plans are for spring break!

An outfit from earlier this week. I find the leather jacket to be perfect for the spring! Hugs <3

- Don't look back; you're not going that way -

Heeeyyyy!!! The past two days have been soo gorgeous outside. I've been loving it! Finally, it feels like summer is on the way! I'm such a summer person. The tan, the hair, the fact that I can go without makeup and still look hot lol. So to enjoy the weather I went on a 30 to 40 minute run, and it was amazing! I have missed running outside so much. I mean the treadmill is great for when it's cold outside, but it gets sort of boring staring at the wall the entire time, if ya know what I mean. I hope it doesn't get cold again until the fall...

Anyway, have a lovely day!!

Is it Spring Yet???

Hello!!! I'm soo sorry I haven't uploaded anything in about a week. And I was doing so well for awhile :/ But I'm back now so you all can read. This week has just completely flew by, and I have no idea what I have done. Do any of you ever feel that way? It might be because it has been so cold and snowy out. The lack of sunshine really puts me in a bad mood. I need sunshine and warmth, and I'm the happiest person in the world. But cold and clouds, and I just don't feel like myself :( I meant to take pictures Monday, but I just had too much work to do. Which totally sucked because I'm not going to lie I looked pretty darn cute ;) And I hate to waste a good outfit and makeup. Especially these days, where my outfit inspiration is about zero. I'm soo ready for spring and summer and bight colors and no more sweaters, but it's just too cold out to ditch the sweaters just yet :'( Maybe in a few more weeks everything will be warming up and lift my mood. Although I have had a huge mood lifter this week! It's big/little week for my sorority!! And I know I said I would keep the sorority talk to a minimum, but I have been spoiled beyond belief this week, and it has been wonderful! Haha. So a HUGE shoutout to my big for everything from this week! If you don't know what big/little week is, in a sorority sophomores (bigs) get to take on a freshman (little) and be a mentor and a friend to them for the next few years of college. And big/little week is also where the bigs give their littles a bunch of presents every night along with some clues (that may or may not be true). Then on Friday, the littles finally get to know their big's name! And then they basically become BFFs and whatnot. And the rest is history haha.

So here are some pictures I took with my iPhone from today while I was watching a video for class (so studious I know, right?) But I needed to take advantage of my makeup that I did for a picture that needed to be taken for another organization. So enjoy!

So how are you all staying warm and positive during this long winter? Hugs <3

Stressed but at least I'm cute right???

Hello wonderful readers! Today/this entire week has been super stressful. Luckily most of what I've had to do is done. I just had so many deadlines to meet by today. I had a biology exam today, which thankfully is over. Wish me some luck guys! :D And I have to participate in some hours of psychology research...definitely not my favorite. Let me know what you guys think of psychology! Is it useful? Or useless? Tell me! Haha just got curious about that. Now I just took a few photos with my camera to kind of de-stress myself. I don't know why but taking pictures sort of relaxes me. It's weird haha. So here's my comfy/cute outfit of the day. A pair (actually my favorite pair) of leggings from Lululemon. A little obsessed with that brand. Much love to the creators of Lululemon! Haha. And my comfy baggy tee from aerie along with a bralette from aerie as week. Lately I'm sort of obsessed with bralettes. They are super comfy (it's like wearing a sports bra) but they're super pretty! I'd show you, but I feel like that'd be a bit risqué haha. But maybe in the future we'll see.

Snow Day

Hiiiii!!! Yesterday the impossible happened...I had a snow day!! My school never calls off for snow or cold. It was soo wonderful. I slept in until 10:45 which was very much needed. I'm finally almost done with this horrible infection I've had. Antibiotics are seriously the best things ever. Period. I went from feeling like a complete zombie to an actual human being in about 24 hours :D. So I didn't get out of bed until about 1. It was such a cozy day, just snuggled into my covers with my favorite pajama shirt, snuggle shorts, and no makeup. I love going without makeup on days where I just have to do nothing, like Sundays. Sundays are the best for no makeup, a long hot shower, and a mask. So I just pulled my laptop into my bed, caught up on some of the other blogs I follow, and did some  much needed online shopping. I can't decide if I'm going to keep a pair of shoes I ordered, because they were kind of expensive but wayy cute...and I needed a pair of like 3 inch heeled booties. They are just so cute and capable of going with everything. So I cannot wait to show you all that I got when it arrives! Here are some pictures I decided to take today since my roommate wasn't in the dorm and I had some free time. It's basically the same thing I wore yesterday just with some fun poses haha.

Working hard on the blog. Phone, headphones, and laptop are necessities.

Have a lovely day! Hugs!

L. L. Bean Boots Review

Hey guys! These pictures are from a few weeks ago, but I didn't want to take pictures today because it is sooo cold outside even though it snowed and looks super pretty! (Also, my bean boots are slightly dirty because of all the muddy snow lining the sidewalks. So they aren't so pretty.) But these boots have been a must-have for me the past few days because of the cold and snow. They are rubber on the bottom, so they're waterproof. And leather on the top with fur lining the leather (and the rubber part is super insulated with thick cotton or wool material. They are seriously the most practical boots ever! [and I don't think they look too bad either ;)] They make walking to class so much easier because I don't have to worry about ruining the bottoms with snow and salt, like my Uggs, but they have all the warmth of my Uggs :). Which means a happy Jessica because I get so cold in the winter. Now if only they could make something this warm for my cheeks and nose and I would be set.

I was so excited to photograph these boots when they arrived, I forgot to take the tag off! Silly me haha.

By the way guys this is not a sponsorship post because lets face it, not enough people read my blog for me to get sponsorships haha. I just really love these boots. Have a wonderful day dear readers! <3
