Monday Motivation - Just do it!

Hello beauties!!!

I wanted to start doing motivational posts every Monday. If this is something you don't like let me know below and I will stop lol.. I personally like to start my day with motivational videos, books, podcasts, etc. It helps me get rid of any negative energy and focus my day with positive thoughts. 

Here we go! Happy Motivational Monday!

Here's the truth, it's so easy to do the task at hand but it's also much easier to not do it all. 

Everyday we are faced with choices. Should I work out now or later? If I have one tiny piece of cake I will be okay. All of these choices over time (depending on your decision) can dictate if you move forward or backwards in terms of your goals. Start doing the "easy to not do" things and pushing yourself through these tasks until you get it done. I promise you a little effort and consistency daily, will make things easier in the long run. 

Like this, you won't find yourself having to constantly catch up and double or even triple your work load. 

This applies to everything in life, too! Work, relationships, fitness, nutrition, school, even hobbies!

 Nike was on to something with "just do it!". That's really all there is to it! Go do it!

Hope this can change your mindset! Love you all so very much!

Foodie Friday - Hello Fresh Review

Happy Foodie Fri-yay!

I promised this review a few weeks ago but for whatever reason YouTube was not cooperating. I finally got the video to post successfully!! 

Quick review of what HelloFresh actually is. It's a food subscription box where you could skip a week before hand. There are different options as to what you get delivered. I picked the regular family box because we eat meat. There is an option to get 2 or 3 meals a week and I decided on 3. Each meal served 4 adults but you can stretch it out to feed more because the portion sizes are pretty large. It runs a little over $100 but if you use this referral code L6R3XJ , you will save $40 making your first order 65$ (for the 3 meal family box) including shipping. Keep reading after the jump to see what I liked and didn't like along with a video showing the meals :)

Colourpop Haul

Happy Beauty Tuesday! 

Today I am going to share my latest Colourpop haul with you all.

As you know, I have already tried the Ultra Matte Lip formula and fell in love. They are as good (or even better) than the more expensive brands out there for a fraction of the cost. You can read about my first review here. This time around I wanted to try the new Ultra Satin lips and the Lippie stix. I am so happy I did because I am in love! Lippie stix come in different finishes but, I only purchased a cream in the shade Fiesta and a glossy in the shade Easy. These remind me of Chapstick as far as texture and smoothness but with an opaque pigment to them. I really love these two and will be ordering more now that I know I love them! They also smell really yummy. Think vanilla crossed with a marshmallow! 

The ultra satin lips have no fragrance and are very pigmented just like the mattes. They are a bit thicker almost like a cream whereas the mattes are more liquidy. The satin formulation is transferable and will smudge like regular lipstick. However, it is long lasting! The description from colourpop says "our Ultra Satin Lip is a lightweight, bold lipstick with a satin finish and a crazy high percentage of pigments for extra intense color saturation."  Keep reading after the jump to see some swatches!
