Please tell me I am not the only one that is beyond excited for the recently announced Grey Fifty Shades of Grey as Told by Christian -EL James I was just scrolling through Facebook and... there it was!

JUNE 18th 2015

There is nothing that I like more then a good book and when I read Fifty Shades of Grey, Fifty Shades Darker, and First Shades Fred by E L James I was not able to put them down. I'm not joking I was late to class, skipped meals, didn't read for my classes, and lost many hours of sleep.

As many have probably seen there was a great deal of controversy that surrounded these books. I don't plan on getting into much detail about that but from my point of view if these types of books are not your thing then don't read it. No one is forcing you to do something you do not want to do.

Now That that is off my chest I shall resume my fan girl ways. I literally could not get enough of this couple. Even though they each had there problems some more simple then others there was an undeniable attraction between Anastasia and Christian. It was intense, beautiful, and sad at times.

I got used to get so upset every time I called my grandmother because she wanted to talk about the books but I didn't finish them at the same time she did. Due to the fact that I was still in school and no matter how much I did not want to do my work I eventually had to. In in many of our conversations we would both talk about how great it would be if E L James would write a book in Christians point of view!

Now where do I pre-order?? Update! I pre-ordered it and it will be here on the 18th! Click here to get your copy!!!

Hello Loves,

I wanted to tell you really quickly about the new workout videos that I found on YouTube the other day!

For the longest time I really wanted to get into Yoga and Pilates but didn't really have the time nor the money to be paying for a bunch of classes. I did a bunch of research on pinterest and came across a ton of pictures and videos. Pictures didn't work at alllllll and the majority of the videos I found were super short and no good.

UNTILLLL.....

Blogilates- Cassey Ho is so encouraging and has videos ranging from easy to difficult. She walks you through every move and teaches you how to breath correctly. She has a bunch of 5 min workouts for different parts of the body like arms, but, or abs. She is amazing go check her out. Her website also has great printable, meal plans, and the best part SHOPPING.

More Cap Ideas!

Here are some more cap decorating ideas! Stay tuned for some male caps!

See my original post for direction.

How to decorate your Graduation Cap

Its about that time again! Yep you guessed it Graduation time. When I graduated high school I didn't even think about decorating my cap. Then when I got to college I noticed everyone decorates there cap. I knew that my cap was going to be decked out. Four years later, an internship, multiple organizations, 2 jobs, and a dog took up all my time. I decided to send my cap and Mr. Mans up to New York for to get decorated.


This year I have the privilege of helping my friend decorate hers. So here we go!

Step 1- Head to Michael's and grab everything that you will need. I do not recommend this glue that is in the picture. I cant even explain how much it sucked for this project! Use a hot glue gun! (The X at the top of the cap was to help us distinguish the front of the cap.)

Step 2- Cut out the letters that you will need for you quote "Failure will never overtake me if my determination to succeed is strong enough" This might seem like an extra step to some but you will see why we did this in the next step.

Step 3- Lay out everything before you start to stick or glue anything down so that get everything in the place you want them to be. You see how "failure" is up way to high this is what happens when you don't have line placers. Use a pencil to draw straight lines for you to follow.

Step 4- Place your letters and glue down your other decorations. 

Happy graduation Class of 2015!!!

6 Simple Changes to Promote Weight Loss

There are a bunch of lifestyle changes that one can make to help them loss weight. Maybe you are just starting out and want to start of small or if you are trying to loss the last five pounds to reach your goal.

1. Drink water. Many people don't realize how many calories are actually in the things they drink. Lets take a regular soda for example. A 12 oz bottle of coke has 140 calories, 39 carbohydrates, and 0 protein. Do you realize that is more then a piece of bread has.
2. Try to achieve more the 10,000 steps a day. 10,000 steps is considered average so if you aim for more it will benefit your activity level. Almost every smart phone has a built in pedometers and lets face it we have our phone with us all the time anyway. 
3. Try to eat things that have more protein then carbohydrates. Yes this means that you will have to read the labels more.
4. Drink a cup of water right when you wake up to get your immune system up and running. Also before you eat a meal to help you not over eat.
5. If you get hungry late at night make a nice hot cup of tea or even warm mike. It will not only curve your hunger but also help you sleep. 
6. Less weight more reps when weightlifting. 

I hope this helps!
