Happy Saturday!

18 Oct

Happy Saturday lovely readers! Today I want to encourage everyone to read something, though honestly, I’m sure most of you do and you’re not the ones I really wish would read something. Haha.

But just find something nice to stimulate your mind today. Fiction or non fiction. Happy or sad. Just something to enjoy but also get you thinking. Sadly, especially where I come from, a lot of people don’t use their brains anymore. I’m frustrated with how many people I see that just blindly follow things and never question anything. It’s almost sad, but when it starts effecting gov laws and every day life, it gets a bit frustrating.

I was always taught, from a very young age, to question everything! It’s ok. It’s healthy and normal to question things. It’s supposed to help you learn more about yourself and what you understand, what you believe.

You know, thinking about it, I believe that because we live in such a fast paced society, that probably has a lot to do with the issues that I’m frustrated with. People don’t stop and take the time too read because it’s too long. People aren’t having good communications with friends and family because they are always doing something else on their phone or computer whenever they are talking. I know not everyone is like that…but I see so many people do this and it really makes me sad.

We are taking for granted some of the most important parts of human life! Remember to take time to do something for yourself, to educate yourself a little more, to make yourself happy, to make someone else happy, to cherish those around you that you love! You never know when it’s their last day or yours.

Sorry this post was all over the place. I just have a lot on my mind. :p Obviously.

I think I’m going to find something good to read and relax for now. Have a wonderful weekend everyone! Please take care!

Best Wishes,

~Aurora

Hello Lovely Readers!

17 Oct

I have a few posts I’ve been working on, but I’ve been a little busy. I promise I will get to them as soon as I can. I hope you all are doing well! It is finally ALMOST feeling like autumn where I am! The hottest it’s been this week is 80, so we are finally getting there! Although I need to find my jeans! They are somewhere packed away with winter clothes.

So I hope everyone is staying safe. If anyone has any requests or stories they want me to comment on, then please let me know in the comments or on my fb page and I would be more than happy to check it out!

I’ve been watching an old show from my child hood, Sailor Moon, and I’m REALLY enjoying it.

What are some of your fav shows from childhood that you would love to watch again?

Book and Drama Recommendations?

30 Sep

Hello again. I do realize that this is my second post for today. I apologize if it’s too much, but this is my blog and I just feel like writing.

I am currently looking for at home work opportunities, so if any of you are aware of any and can let me know, that would be great!

Also, I would like some recommendations on any Korean Dramas, Japanese Dramas, or any good books. I like quite a wide variety of genres, but I mostly want books that I can easily find online. I don’t mind educational books as well. I’m always eager to learn! I’m currently watching Emergency Couple. I’m really liking it so far. I also really enjoyed Faith, and Boys Over Flowers. (Yes I really like Lee Min Ho. I think he is a very good actor!)

If you could leave your recommendations for me or message me on my fb page, that would be really great! I look forward to hearing from you guys. Hopefully everyone is safe and well.

I promise to try to write more and hopefully get me “umph” back!

Have a wonderful and safe day.

Love Always

Hello!

30 Sep

I had a pretty long post for today, but something happened and everything was deleted. I’m pretty sad really!

Oh well I guess it happens.

So now I’m going to do something a little different.

If anyone has pictures of autumn where they are from, I invite you to share them with me! I just love autumn. You can send fall fashion, scenery foods, whatever. As long as it has to do with autumn, I think it will be cool!

Today I challenge everyone to get a little fresh air if possible. Whether that’s going outside and sitting down, taking a short walk, or just opening your windows for a while. Do whatever you can to get some fresh air and/or sunshine! This can do so much to lift your spirits and can improve your health as well!

I’m keeping this post short since I had over 700 words on the other one that disappeared. I thought it was saving to a draft, but it didn’t. Oh well! Lesson learned! Even if I am on a roll, do my best to try to save multiple times!

I hope you all have the most wonderful day!

With love and best wishes

First Outfit from my Dresslink Haul

25 Sep

Hi guys! Got my first haul from dress link. I’m still not sure about a video, but here is the first outfit and shoes.

Now I’m not sure why, but the products all smell a little fishy, but I hear that from a lot of people and should come out with a wash. It’s the factory smell from what I’m told.

The top part of this is slightly see through, but if you wear an undershirt or the right bra, it should be fine. Only the top part is like that. The bottom is great. The middle part, which is covered by the belt it came with, is stretchy, so it’s easy to get on. I got my clothes in Medium US size.

The shoes I got in a US 8. They fit perfect and are very nice. The top part laces up. It buttons on the back so it can easily be taken off if it doesn’t go with a particular outfit. They are very comfortable.

I’m not sure if I’m going to do a video or not, if I do I will still take pics, but I may not go into as many details. I will also do an over view of the whole site if I make a video. I will keep you updated in case anyone is interested.

Hello everyone

21 Sep

Sorry it’s been a while. I was in a move again and had a lot going on. I am ok and I am enjoying it here.

It’s almost fall here on the west coast in Cali! Officially it starts Tuesday. Hehe. It doesn’t feel like it though! It was still in the 100’s last week. Cooled down for a few days but it’s already warming back up. That’s ok. More pool time for me! 🙂

I hope everyone is doing well. 😀 I’m very excited for the approaching season! I have some new clothes coming! I’ve had a few requests to do a review on the site and the clothes. Not sure if I will blog it or attempt to make a video. I will do something though. Not sure if I will do it on here since that’s not my usual work. xD This is my blog however, so if I want to change it up or do something different I will.

That being said, I hope you all are still doing positive things in your day! Even a little smile can brighten a day.

Today I want to ask you guys a few questions!

1. What’s your favorite season and why?

2. What are some things you love about fall?

3. Are you looking forward to anything particular this fall?

Please leave me your answers! I love to hear from you guys!

As always, with love,

Battle For The Net

10 Sep

If you woke up tomorrow, and your internet looked like this, what would you do? Imagine all your favorite websites taking forever to load, while you get annoying notifications from your ISP suggesting you switch to one of their approved “Fast Lane” sites.Think about what we would lose: all the weird, alternative, interesting, and enlightening stuff that makes the Internet so much cooler than mainstream Cable TV. What if the only news sites you could reliably connect to were the ones that had deals with companies like Comcast and Verizon?On September 10th, just a few days before the FCC’s comment deadline, public interest organizations are issuing an open, international call for websites and internet users to unite for an “Internet Slowdown” to show the world what the web would be like if Team Cable gets their way and trashes net neutrality. Net neutrality is hard to explain, so our hope is that this action will help SHOW the world what’s really at stake if we lose the open Internet.If you’ve got a website, blog or tumblr, get the code to join the #InternetSlowdown here: https://battleforthenet.com/sept10thEveryone else, here’s a quick list of things you can do to help spread the word about the slowdown: http://tumblr.fightforthefuture.org/post/96020972118/be-a-part-of-the-great-internet-slowdown Get creative! Don’t let us tell you what to do. See you on the net September 10th!

Sorry for not Posting

15 Aug

Hope to post something again soon, but I’ve been feeling pretty unwell this week. Have an appt later this month so hopefully we can get things figured out. So please bare with me. I will try to post as often as I can though. Still trying to smile and be positive even through the pain because life is still good! 

I believe in the rainbow after the storm! I shall get through this too. For anyone else with any kind of ailment, I hope you feel better and get some relief soon! 

Night all! I’m going to try to get some rest if the pain will stay away. 🙂 Sweet dreams to all!

Also, extra symptom. Anyone have any advice on how to deal with indigestion? Like above my belly button. Tips would be great.

Love

Good afternoon! 8/11/2014

11 Aug

Well I had a very busy weekend, and a lack of time and ideas to post. I am back on this lovely Monday! I hope everyone had a good weekend and is getting a good start to their day!

Lately I’ve had some very…sensitive issues that I haven’t had the courage to talk about yet. Maybe I’ll get to those one day. Today I want to briefly talk about something can also improve daily life! That’s been my most recent patterns in writing, things to do that are good and improve your daily life!

RESPECT! 

I can’t emphasize this one enough. Some people are just…very rude. I mean…over all…a lot of us treat each other in some very negative ways. We want to change the world and make it a better place. That’s going to take a lot of time and more work than just respect…but we have to start somewhere.

Firstly I believe that in order to truly respect others, we need to respect ourselves. You have to decide what that means to you. We need to learn to respect other people’s opinions, beliefs, decisions, and space, and other things I’m sure. That’s not saying that we have to agree with everything, but you do have respect that their is their opinion or belief. Not yours. Sure you can state your opinion, respectfully, if they want to hear it. You can’t however, expect to force your beliefs on them or make them listen if they don’t want to. It’s pretty rude really. Even if it comes from the best intentions, you certainly wouldn’t want it done to you.

Respect is a lot more than I’ve mentioned and it’s different to everyone. But let’s take the time to reflect today and see how we can improve our self respect! Let’s also see how we can show our respect for those around us even more.

Challenge! 

  • Respect yourself
  • Show respect for someone else
  • As always, SMILE! 
  • Pick up your favorite snack or drink today! 😀 Treat yourself.
  • Be passionate about something you believe in. ( You decide what that means to you)
  • Remember that every day is what you make of it, and you will only live this day once! So make the best of it! ❤

8/6/2014 Big Sister Blues and Daily Challenge

6 Aug

Today my baby sister starts as a junior in high school! As much as I’ve been ignoring it and denying it, it’s happening. Now I’m probably a little more emotional about this than some sisters…but I had a big hand in helping raise her. 

I am very proud of her and I find myself worried more now than when she was little. Then she needed me so much more, asked for my help, and I had more control of her situation. Now I have to watch as she makes her own choices and just be there for her to offer advice, a shoulder, or an ear. I know it’s been hard on her with me moving across the country, but I’m proud at the young lady I’ve been watching her grow into from afar. 

Others in my family start school today as well! So I wish them the best of luck. 😉 Maybe if I give them a survival kit for high school or some little tidbits that helped me get through, it will give me some peace of mind. I think I’m going to get on that and see what I can do!

Today’s Challenge is to do one or more of the following ( some will be similar to my original challenge post):

  1. Smile! Smile for yourself, smile for others! Smiling is contagious and can make such a difference in your day and someone else’s. 
  2. Take the time to appreciate someone in your life today. There is at LEAST one person who you probably don’t SHOW your appreciation enough to. Go out of your way a bit to let them know how much they mean to you and how grateful you are for all that they do for you. 🙂
  3. Do something for a stranger today, whether it’s letting them go first at a 4 way stop, letting someone cross the street, a smile, a wave, or something more. Those small acts of kindness can do more than you know!
  4. Pamper yourself a bit, do your nails, take a bath, make some tea, eat some chocolate. Just indulge yourself a little bit and be proud you’ve made it another day! I’m sure proud of you, so keep up the good work!
  5. Tell someone you love them and mean it…or show them you love them. There are lots of ways to do this. You know the person best so you know whether it’s a hug, a post it note, or a favorite lunch that will do the trick. Often we use this word too much or not enough and it’s thrown around. But the people we love…family, friends, and significant others, need to be reminded they are loved. It’s not always just about the words either, so gage the situation and judge for yourself what that person needs today. 😉

As always if you liked this please SHARE it! Also let me know if you did this challenge or another challenge and how it worked for you.

May you all have a wonderful day.

Love,

Aurora
