Health and Fitness
This subject is always a touchy one. How should I diet? What exercises should I do? I don't have enough time. I eat too much.
I firmly believe that a healthy and balanced diet with regular exercise will keep you looking AMAZING and most of all feeling good.
Recently I myself have been trying to get back into shape. It hasn't been easy especially after my surgery (it was on my spine and will probably be another blog post). I have researched and read a lot of books and internet sites. Most diets promise excellent results but I don't believe you can look good and be happy with what you are eating if you aren't allowed to each sugar, carbs, and "bad" things every once in a while. That is why when I stumbled upon these two girls I fell in love with what they are saying.
They are the Tone it Up girls (you can find them on youtube.com). They have good workouts that are free and they make videos of them. Also, they give you food tips on what is healthy and what is not. I haven't purchased their full diet cookbook/plan yet. I might this summer. But for right now I am loving just their workouts. They make me feel good. And that is what counts.
The real point of this blog post was to explain that a diet that omits a bunch of food or an exercise plan that hurts you constantly every day isn't the way to go. Soon you will fall out of it because your body just can't cope with the stress. Just try to eat healthy (get good nutrients), drink plenty of water, and do exercise that YOU love to do.

Collectibles - Dolphins!
Do you collect anything? I collect dolphin figurines. It just started out of the blue. One day at a garage sale when I was in 6th grade I saw this dolphin lamp and HAD to have it! That pretty much started my dolphin collection. I have a couple posters, but most are actually figurines made from wood, glass, porcelain, rock, etc. I love them all. My favorite animal is the dolphin (ha! would've never guessed). I think this is because I have always had a strong connection with the ocean (even though I live in a land locked state). There is just something so mysterious about the water and the creatures beneath the surface. It is like a whole new world that you can go out and explore. Then I love animals and the dolphin is a creature who is intelligent, smart, graceful, playful, and unique. They are animals who seem to understand the way of humans. That is the best I can really describe it. I just love them.
So do you collect anything? Stamps? Stuffed animals? Comment below!

Victoria's Secret PINK With a Splash
Victoria's Secret PINK With a Splash (from left to right)
Soft and dreamy, Fresh and Clean, Sweet and Flirty
PINK With a Splash is a body splash from Victoria's Secret line PINK for teenage girls. They can usually be found in the PINK section of a Victora's Secret store and are about $15.00 each. All have a unique scent which can be identified with the colors of the writing and lids on each bottle (for example the soft and dreamy is dark blue, the fresh and clean is light blue, and the sweet and flirty is a dark purple).
I own and bought (minus the fresh and clean: it was a gift from my aunt) the three flavors of PINK With a Splash as shown above. I love each of the scents! The soft and dreamy is perfect for a night out because it is heavier and smells very sweet (a little like cotton candy). The fresh and clean is my favorite: it can be worn at any time. It is perfect right after a hard work out to freshen up. It smells like a sweeter type of soap. The sweet and flirty is a very good summer scent. It is slightly floral yet has a hint of sweetness as well. As you can see, all these three body splashes have a sweeter scent.
I do love each of these flavors; however, the scents do not last long at all. This could be because they are only body splashes and are meant to leave a lighter trace of the scent. Yet the flavor dissapears within a couple hours. The only way I can get the scent to last longer is to spray it on the ends of my hair. This way helps to keep it for a couple more hours.
Do I think the product is worth its price? No. If it was $10.00 I would say that would be perfect. If the scent lasted longer than yes, $15.00 would be good. I do love each of the smells. They are girly and fun. It is just the fact that the scent last for very little time.
If anyone has any other opinions just comment! I'm interested to hear what other people have to say about this product.
Have a good day everyone!
