~Healthier Life Update~

I figured in this post I would talk about what I've been eating and drinking since my "health kick"
Water is an obvious answer, but other than that.

Drink wise I've been getting juice, milk and green tea.
I get Bolthouse Farms and Naked for my juice.
And for tea I will either grab a Lipton Citrus Green Tea if in a hurry to go to work, or I will use my Yogi brand for when I eat dinner or lunch.

I've loved all of my Bolthouse Farms drinks(Even the non fruit ones like the Chai one...taste like snickerdoodle cookies) and I've loved all but two of the Naked drinks.
I got the Protein Juice Smoothie which has bananas, pineapple, coconut, oranges and such and it is....not pleasant. But I got the bigger bottle and would rather not waste my money. It is very gritty and even the flavor isn't so great. The one I dislike more than than was the Banana and Chocolate smoothie. It taste just horrible and I threw it out. Was not good at all!

For my milk product I swapped our everyday milk with the Almond Silk in Vanilla flavor and it is so tasty. I've gone through 2 things of it in a week! It is crazy good! I wish they had smaller ones just so I could try out the other flavors too.



Food wise I have been eating breakfast, lunch and dinner(Usually only ate lunch and dinner or just dinner).

For breakfast I will either have an omelet, a bowl of granola and my almond silk milk, a granola bar and greek yogurt, or greek yogurt with some sort of fruit on the side.

I'm not an egg person so omelets aren't as often. I have really been into Greek Yogurt lately, and it is amazing. I've heard people not liking it for it being too gritty and then for being to watery. The kind I've been getting is like normal yogurt consistency, but it has a bit more of a tart flavor to it. 

Snacks if I eat in between meals I will just have a small thing of greek yogurt, a fruit or granola. It really helps cure that sweet tooth, mainly the fruit for me though.

Lunches are pretty much always a salad for me.
I like Spinach salads, so I do spinach berry salads mostly.

How I make mine:
~Spinach Leaves~
Make sure to rinse them off because in the past they've been taken off the shelves often for E. Coli scares.
~Blueberries~
~Sliced up Strawberries~
(I always rinse off my fruits)
~Blue Cheese Crumbles~
~Sliced Baked Unsalted Almonds~
~Poppyseed Vinaigrette~
~And sometimes grilled cooled chicken~

If I'm not feeling for a berry salad it is almonds, blue cheese crumbles, chicken, and mushrooms.



Dinner I've been having more trouble with. Since my family doesn't understand the "I'm trying to eat healthier" idea I struggle most with dinner. I'll usually just eat something I will normally eat for lunch or I'll eat at work and just choose one of the 550 calorie meals or "weight watcher" meals.


So it has only been a week and two days since I started my all the sudden "health kick".
So far so good. I have not weighed myself again yet though. So weight update will be next week sometime.
I don't look too different from the last post, but I can feel it.
Like when I eat something greasy(Like a piece of Onion Rings from work) my stomach automatically gets upset and sick feeling. Now I'm not sure if that is a good thing or bad thing, but I think it is a way of my body telling me that it is bad for me and I probably shouldn't eat more of that. Lol. Not quite sure, but it helps me stray away from "junk". 

Until Next Time

~A Healthier Lifestyle~

I am trying to be a bit of a healthier person.
I just started a healthy diet and am going to exercise after work each day I can.
Today is only day 3, so I won't show any obvious changes.
My goal isn't as much to losing weight as it is toning my body a bit.
Losing some weight would be nice but not my biggest concern.
I'm a fairly weak individual. I have little strength to do 5 pushups or situps.

So I figured I'd start off by a day one picture of my body.
I will do weekly body pictures and hopefully see something a little changed by week 4.
I'm not overweight. My weight is average for my height and what not.
I am 5'4 and weigh 135Ibs, my overall weight goal is 125Ibs.
I want to tone my Arms, Stomach and Legs.

Front/Back 

Side View

Perhaps I should next time not lift my arms up.
But then again with my arms down you wouldn't be able to see the stomach.
I didn't suck in on any of these. The right picture on the Side View looks more sucked in probably because I lifted my arms more. Next Tuesday I shall do another update. Most likely won't look too different.

I also will do a post with the food/drinks I've been eating.
Until Next time!

~My Online Shop~

http://lullabycharms.storenvy.com/

My little online store is called Lullaby Charms. I was doing it all through etsy, but switched to Storenvy. It is a lot easier to work with and I enjoy the customization you can do with your shop. 

My shop will be a mixture of "re-sale"(Yard selling it up online yo!), so things I have used, but in good condition, and of things I've made. 

My favorite thing in the shop would be my icecream scoop rings. They're cute and fun and perfect for a Fairy Kei/Creepy Cute style accessory! 

Another thing I love are actually something I randomly came up with one day.
I was drinking those starbucks frappucinnos daily and an idea popped into my head. I ended up making them into super cute little necklaces. They look like a little cup or bowl of icecream with kawaii charms and sprinkles/whatnots. I of course cleaned them out well and then I spray painted them/clear coated them. And thus these cute things were "born".

So that about sums it up. Grab your attention? 

If so you can check out my shop here: http://lullabycharms.storenvy.com/
Until next time!

~I Butchered a Wig~

Two things I want to show.
Nothing super duper amazing, but still love it.
1. I got a new top in the mail that I got off of eBay(Of course).
2. I want to show off what I did to my blonde wig(Long wavy-ish one).


So lets start off with I got this top on eBay 

I love it. Absolutely love it! It is simple, but the design gives it a little something special. And it is super comfy. It is a size Medium and you can look up Forever 21 Boyfriend Cardigan on eBay and I'm sure you'll find one! I saw two or three listings for this same top but this one was of course the cheapest and in my size range.

Second I ended up "butchering" my old blonde wavy wig which is this one:

I got it on ebay. I was on facebook one night and a girl posted a picture of the blonde wig she altered and well it inspired me to mess around with my blonde wig! 

So yeah. That is what it now looks like. Thanks to my sister for wearing it while I was cutting it(I lack of owning the foam head). I guess you can say it is a "scene" cut? Just very layered now and can have either side swept bangs or straight across(But it pokes my eyes when straight across). 

So that about sums up this entry!
Until next time!
