I’m back! That was awhile.

Wow. I was gone awhile with very few excuses… except for a lack of motivation. However, I am back and did really miss posting and interacting with the community on here. I find it completely awesome to talk to people from all of the world. Since my last blog post a lot of aspects of my life have changed.I am now semi- adjusted to my new home, have made friends and life is starting to feel complete. Not a day goes by without me missing my best friends and the longing for the feeling of familiarity. I hope that other’s can relate to that too! Anyways any suggestions for new posts… let me know!

If you are reading this… you are awesome… just saying.

This world is a negative place sometimes. Don’t give up your DREAM CAREER because of it.

I feel in this world we live in, everyone is very negative. I’m tired of people putting down my dreams and saying they are not possible. Or constantly saying, what are you thinking? I know most people are realistic and I do value their opinions but  I am a realist as well. However I am a realist with ambition.

Most 18 year old’s my age have no idea what they want to do with there life, or do not know at all what they are meant to do. However, I feel that I do know what I want to with my rest of my life. So who are those to tell me that I’m making a bad decision, that has an unconventional future… when most people my age do not even have a clue what they want for their future lives.

I’m kind of ranting but I am just so tired of all the negativity from all around me when I try to be positive. I support other people’s aspirations and would never put them down. If you have the drive to do it, I know you can make it.

Honestly, what I want to do with the rest of my life isn’t even a crazy occupation like a musician or a singer. I have friend’s going to school for the arts and no one has told them that their goals in life are unconventional or don’t have a future. But me, the one who wants to have a normal career is the one taking a gamble. I just do not know what to say to the world anymore. People can bring me down all they want but I DO NOT CARE what they say to me anymore. I know that I am going to make it, I know I can do it, so who are you to tell me I can’t. 

For all of you out there that may be experiencing similar remarks from others, just don’t listen. You are you, you know what you are capable of and what you can accomplish in life.

How to: DECORATE A SMALL SPACE! My living room.

Recently, about a month ago I moved into my on suite… (still attached to my parents house) but now I had my own space and was able to decorate it  however I pleased! Here is my final result, although a small space it is super cozy and I adore it! Now that I am college having my own space is great for having quiet place to study and to bring friends. With a small place you can do everything you would like to in a bigger space, the end result will just be a cozier atmosphere.

I hope you could take some inspiration from how I decorated my tiny living room space!

Couch: Thrifted

Chair: Thrifted

Electric Fire Place: COSTCO

How I redesigned my BEDROOM for a LOW-PRICE!

IsadoraMaria

I love my room, it is my favorite room in my house. It easy to make your bedroom exactly how you have imagined, you just have to keep an eye out for sales and have a bit of patience. If you want to to cheaply re-decorate your room like I did, you can not complete it over night. You have to wait for deals and shop at many stores to find what you want for the right price. As well I would suggest thrift shopping for those little finishing touches in your room, you never know the amazing things you can find!

Bed spread: IKEA – $45.00

String Lights: TARGET- $15.00

Picture: IKEA- $30.00

Lamp Shade: TARGET- $15.00

Lamp: FOUND on the side of the road

I hope you enjoyed!

Back to school is coming up way to quickly. Although I love fall, all the warm weather, beach days and no rain make me want to live somewhere tropical forever.

So in spirit of not letting go of summer….Here is an outfit I put together using some of my much loved summer clothes, but incorporating it into my fall wardrobe!

Skirt: H&M

Tank: H&M

Cardigan: Stitches

Boots:JJ Melrose

Healthy, Easy Breakfast Idea.

My breakfast looked so yummy this morning, I couldn’t help posting this picture I took of it! School is starting up very soon for most, so this is a simple breakfast that is quick, easy and healthy for those busy school mornings. Eating breakfast is very important to my health. It allows me to have more energy in the morning and keeps me full till lunch time, so that I don’t crave unhealthy snacks in between.

 

0% fat coconut greek yogurt

Granola Protein Pieces

A handful of fresh blueberries

A little drizzle of honey on top 

 

I hope you enjoyed!

How to: ORGANIZE YOUR BEAUTY PRODUCTS WITH A SHOE BOX?

Here are just a few cute little ideas to help store some of your beauty products, like nail polish, makeup and more. 🙂

 I used just simple plastic lunch containers that lost their lids to organize my eye shadows and face products. As well I used little jars to store my brushes and lip products.

For my everyday beauty products that I keep right beside my sink in my bathroom, I keep them organized in a little shoe box (cute and cheap). I put my everyday makeup, as well as my face brush in a jar. Which is both cute as well as functional.
