Its All About My Nips

I am so sorry I didn't post yesterday as promised about my experience with getting my nipples pierced. First of all I went with my best friend Tatiana because she and I are so close and I was way to scared to go alone!!!

We get there 15 mins early. Now I know your thinking "wouldn't that make you more nervous" surprisingly it helped so much being there just breathing and getting prepared mentally. When my piercer arrived she was so young and welcoming and she made sure to make me as comfortable as possible we talked for a bit till we finally get to the nitty gritty business of it. 

The first part of the process was the easiest! Its where you choose where you want the piercing to go so you stand in front of a mirror and she takes a pen and puts two dots on both sides of each of your nipples. It is SOOOOOOOO important that you voice you opinion here guys, If you want a dot higher or lower than you gotta say so! Unfortunately this is the point where you reach the hard part. You sit in a chair and she used a pair of clamps to make the dots line up and to pull up my nipples and she puts the needle through you! Now, I have read many stories and did so much research about which one hurts more the first or the second. Some of them were lucky and had two piercers so they could do both at once but for me it was the gruesome one at a time. The first one I had done was the right side and I thought it hurt maybe a 7/10 and figured that it wasn't so bad. I was so wrong because he second one on the left hurt so much worse, like at least a 9/10 but I still pulled through! 

In the end I had to lay back in the chair for about 5 mins because I got dizzy and thought I was going to pass out. But my piercer got me some water and let me sniff an alcohol pad and I was good to go in 5 mins. After it was straight to Tatiana's (my friend from Finally Freckled) house and we laid there I took a bunch of tylenol and she gave me ice for my boobies. We watched movies and relaxed all day long!

In the end even the weakest of us can endure the worst pain for a few seconds for things we want.

The Breaking News On My Chest

Ok so as promised at the end of this post I will be putting my before picture at the end of this post, however, for the first part of this post I will be telling you some awesome news. I HAVE DECIDED TO GET MY NIPPLES PIERCED. Yes I know that this is a "personal piece of information" but I always post "personal" things on here...Its a blog isn't it! Alright so I had a little help deciding with my bf's approval and also my best friend helped me choose.

It's going down tomorrow y'all! I am so nervous but I have read up on all the stuff I need to know but I really am kinda scared. I guess we will see how it goes. Tomorrow I will for sure be posting an extensive review of the process. I hope you all wish me luck. Here is to hoping that they look as good as this picture!

I have a far way to go as far as my goal in fitness. I once was very healthy and fit unfortunately with a big surgery last may and then also having my wisdom teeth taken out in August I have gained at least 40 pounds. With a strict exercise plan and support of many people I hope in 12 weeks time I will be back to my healthy fit weight. So as promised (although I think its horrible) my before picture is finally being posted. I have big goals and hope to reach them as soon as possible.

Until tomorrow when I give you my update on the most nerve wracking experience of my life.

Kayla's Kicking my Butt

It's Sunday y'all!!

 I have been in Southern Cali. since Thursday visiting my man and I love it the weather is fantastic 80 degrees and above every day! I have been getting my tan on, enjoying the sun, and relaxing. I of course had my usual course load of homework including the essay but I took my best friend from the blog Finally Freckled's advice and laid in the sun, did about an hour at a time, and did not distract myself during with social media or anything. Needless to say its done, I'm happy, now I can relax till I leave tomorrow afternoon *sad face.*

The homework moutain

The gorgeous Mojave desert sun!

On another entirely different note. About two weeks ago me and my best friend, who has her own blog called Finally Freckled at finallyfreckled.com, purchased Kayla Itsines Bikini Body Guide Weeks 1-12. We both saw so many people with great results from her program and both decided we want to get on top of being not only skinny, but healthy and in shape. Week 2 is coming up and so far I am so sore but feeling good and getting more and more motivated! The program is intense not something you should do halfheartedly! However that being said on Kayla's website (https://www.kaylaitsines.com.au/) there are free downloadable work outs so you can see and try out the exercises and if you think you can do those then I would recommend her guide. 

I won't be posting weekly progress shots although I will be taking one every week, instead I will be posting an update every 4 weeks so you can all so how much of a change there is. So far there isn't much change although I feel more energized and excited for my workouts. Don't be fooled though they are so hard! Tomorrow I will post the before shot.

They Can Sense It

So this last week was the first actual week of school and I am keeping up well between the reading and writing notes in every class that I have. You know for college classes they say that for ever hour of class you spend you should spend 2 hours studying for that class, sounds easy enough right. Well it isn't! Thankfully you have all these other outgoing kids in your class to study with *sarcasm*, in the end your on your own honestly. However, recently I have noticed a strange occurrence in my life and it honestly has nothing to do with the studying. So since my amazingly loving boyfriend and best friend of a little over a year moved down to Apple Valley, 448 miles from me, I have been alone here. With the exception of my friend and fellow blogger Finally Freckled I haven't hung out with many other people especially from school. Now a LDR (Long Distance Relationship) does a few things when you love the other person very much the main two are that you feel alone and you feel vulnerable.

Now I kid you not that I'm serious about what I say next. THE MALE GENDER CAN SENSE YOUR VULNERABILITY! I'm not kidding I swear there must be a giant yellow sign on my back that says "This one right here, she's sad and missing her man so now is the time to STRIKE!" If there any guys out there please feel free to correct me. The only conundrum I have with this is what I think is something every girl has which is that its never when you are single. For example; about a month before my current long term man was in the picture I had no guys interested, there was literally zero men who would even flirt with me. But now, now is a whole another story! After being in a relationship for longer than a year I still have men asking me out, constantly. This week alone the numbers are reaching the double digits, so maybe its the sadness of missing him, or maybe they sense I am weak but all I know is I won't ever understand men. 

I miss him but the countdown is on because I'll be driving down to him to see him for valentines day weekend. So worth it.

Books, Books, Books

We all know how it goes at the beginning of the year you go to all your classes then you get the books. Once you have the books then you have to start the reading and the notes then next thing you know you have a pile of homework and no life! Because of this I will probably only be posting every once in a while.

If it makes you feel better look at all these books I have to read, notate, and answer hundreds of in book questions. Enjoy your freedom internet friends!

The Magic Stuff

Today I bought a jar of magic! Ok, you got me, it isn't really magic its coconut oil. The only reason I call it a "jar of magic" is there are so many things that you can do with just one type of oil. The best part is if you look it up online there are hundreds of ways to use coconut oil like food, beauty, and even weight loss. Now I had read about this new "craze" of using coconut oil for basically everything from hair treatments to eating it by the spoonful. It has been proven that the eating of coconut oil daily helps with loosing water weight, clears your skin, boosts the metabolism, and supports healthy thyroid function. Here are a few things that I do with my coconut oil:

-Oil Pulling: Swish around some of the oil in your mouth for 10-20 mins while you get ready to clear out toxins in the body, whiten teeth, and reduce plaque. After the 10-20 mins spit out in the trash (not down the drain because it will block the pipes) and rinse with salt water. Then you can brush your teeth and floss like you normally do and continue on with the day!

-Butter Replacement: Need butter for your pan, toast, maybe even recipes...replace it with coconut oil! It tastes amazing and is %100 better for you.

-DIY Cellulite Coffee Scrub: Personally I have only used my oil for a body and lip scrub but it is amazing especially with this recipe for getting rid of cellulite it is so moisturizing and works great on stretch marks! Here is the Coffee and Coconut Oil Scrub I have been using that I love.
