Hello ✿

 It is time for another Website of the Week, and this week's choice is.... Polyvore! I have been on Polyvore for just about 2 years and I think that it is super useful. I personally love looking at and creating inspiration boards which is basically what Polyvore is for. If you're ever wondering what is currently trending or if you simply need some outfit inspiration, then Polyvore is a great website to visit. I continue to use Polyvore for clothing inspiration however, I also create my own sets. My Polyvore account is here, but please don't judge me! Some of the sets on my account were created years ago so they may be very sloppy...I should probably delete them! Well, on a side note- I also have some great sets that I made last year. So head over to Polyvore if you haven't already, and if you make an account, be sure to follow the best (me)! I have included one of my sets below.

Website of the Week

Hello ❃

This week I have decided to focus on my mind and spirituality. A lot of what has to deal with that is my overall happiness. I know that I have talked about this before in one of my previous posts, but I believe that happiness is something that you can never get too much of. Even if you're super happy with your life, there are still ways that you can be happier, and who wouldn't want that? So this weeks Website of the Week goes to The Positivity Blog, a blog dedicated to life-long happiness. The blog written by Henrik Edberg, focuses on ways to change up your mentality and start living your life in a more positive way. Some of the most recent posts are How to Stop Worrying, How to Step Out of Your Comfort Zone, and 7 Fundamentals for Making Life an Exciting Adventure. One of my favorite posts, which I keep bookmarked in my Positivity folder (yes I have a positivity folder!), is How to Get a Great Start to Your Day. This post filled with 7 awesome tips will definitely help you have a less stressful day. Positivity is something that only you can create for your self, your not going to be happy no matter what good or bad things happen to you if you don't let yourself.

Website of the Week

Hello all!

 This week I have been thinking hard about my health and what I need to improve due to several weeks of unhealthy eating and finally reaching my breaking point (eating 10 dove chocolates on Valentines Day), I NEED to get on track! I just realized that this Saturday I am scheduled to do a 15k and I haven't done any exercise in weeks... the holiday season has just driven me crazy. Last year in about September or October I went Gluten-free for about a month and since I've ended that I've been making horrible eating choices. I think that because I was so used to restricting what I was eating, after I let myself loose I was just so overwhelmed and thinking about gluten and sweets all the time. I feel obligated to take control of my body and eat healthy and exercise often. I have realized that eating healthier and being more active makes me way more happier than sitting on the couch on my laptop for hours eating chocolate and popcorn. Sure, who doesn't love chocolate or popcorn or having some downtime? But personally, when that becomes your life, I feel that it is highly pathetic. Something about throwing together a delicious fruit bowl and heading over to the Y to do yoga makes me very happy and passionate. That's why this weeks Website of the Week is SELF. If you don't already know, SELF is a great fitness/health/lifestyle magazine, and they're website is just as great. It is super important to work on your self and that is exactly what SELF can help you do. I go on SELF for workout inspiration or healthy recipes or just about anything dealing with myself. Go check it out if you haven't already, and take a look at this AMAZING salmon recipe (pictured below)!

Website of the Week

Hey guys!

It is now the time where I will share with you my favorite website of the week (If you missed my previous one, click here). This year, I have been focusing on my happiness and overall satisfaction because I believe that being happy and thinking positive thoughts has a very large impact on the choices you make and the path that you take in life. Not only that, but I also believe that if you are happier you will have a better experience in life. The way I try to stay happy is by watching inspirational videos, reading hapiness/self-improvement books, and doing yoga or other things to help me relax. There is one website that I has been contributing to my happiness and that is Nikki Phillippi. Some of you may have heard of Nikki because of her YouTube channel NikkiPhillippi. Nikki is so inspirational makes me in a great mood, she even has a video series for the month of January, #howtobehappyjanuary. She has a great style that I admire which is why I love her site that allows you to check out some of the items that she has in her own closet and purchase them straight from there! She also displays some of her videos from her main channel, advice channel, and her vlogging channel. I think her site is super convenient when you want a happiness boost or just to browse some cute things. So check it out!!! P.S. Watch one of her videos down below :) Have a great weekend!
