Being Healthier!

Heyyaa,

So today I thought I'd do a post on being healthier because this is one of my new years resolutions and a few of you said that you had similar resolutions so I thought it might helpful for a couple of you. I'm not trying to lose weight or anything with this I just want to be healthier because its just generally good for you and I'm hoping that it will help with my skin as its not that great (especially after all of the junk food over Christmas!)

So, here are the things that I'm going to try and stick to:

1) Don't deprive yourself of anything! This will just make you crave it even more, eat everything that you want to, even if its unhealthy, just eat it all in moderation. For instance, if your a chocoholic (like me!) just eat a couple of pieces of chocolate a day.

2) Cut down on dairy. Dairy products contain quite a lot of calories and are not that good for your skin as dairy can cause you to break out. Don't entirely cut it out of your diet as you do need some dairy, just don't eat too much! 

3) Try and not snack as much! This is quite a big one for me as I always seem to find myself snacking, even when I'm not really that hungry. I'm going to aim to eat a slightly bigger breakfast which will then hopefully fill me up and keep me going until lunch. I'm going to then allow myself to have a snack once I get in from school before dinner. I'm also going to have a small, light snack after dinner.

4) Make healthier choices. Not all of the time as we're always going to have unhealthy days where we're just going to sit there and pig out! But, if I have a choice between something like a pizza or a salad wrap, I'm going to go for the wrap just so that its that my diets that little bit better!

5) Water. I hardly ever usually drink water so I'm going to try to drink about 4 glasses a day. I know they say that you should aim to drink 8 glasses but I think that's a bit much for me, to go from no water to 8 glasses! So I'm just going to try to at least drink some water every day.

So, I hope that this was useful to some of you. Let me know in the comments if your trying to do any of the things above and we can encourage each other along the way :)

Much Love,

New Years Resolutions!

Heyyaa,

So today I thought I'd do a post on my new years resolutions with it being new years day tomorrow.

1. Eat healthily. I did start eating healthier this year but over Christmas that has just completely gone out the window!

2. Be more positive. I always tend to look on the negative side of things and I know that I really shouldn't.

3. Save money. I always aim to do this but then I always get to a certain amount and then end up spending it!

4. Drink more water. I never drink enough water although I know that I should.

5. Have more relaxation and me-time! More blogging, more reading, etc.

So I'm only going to do 5 new years resolutions because I know that otherwise I won't keep any of them! I'm hoping that because these are quite small and because I've posted them on here that I will be more likely to stick to them for once!

Let me know what your new years resolutions are in the comments!

Much love,

Jeminix

P.s. Happy New Year to you all! :) x

Merry Christmas!

Heyyaa,

I'm back again! Sorry I haven't posted on here in a while its just that real life seems to have taken over a bit but now I'm back and I'm going to do what I love more often - BLOG! I just thought that I'd do a quick post today to wish you all a Merry Christmas!

I will put up another beauty related post later this week so look out for that. But, for now I hope that you all have a good, fun Christmas Day and you get to unwrap lots of presents and over-eat!

Much love,

Jeminix

Kate Morton

Heyyaa,
So today I thought I'd do a post on one of my favourite authors (and I have a lot of favourites!) because I've just finished one of her books. I am a total bookworm and love reading longer books and books that leave you guessing about what the endings going to be and Kate Morton's books do just that. I think that she's only done four books in total, The House at Riverton (her most well known), The Distant Hours, The Forgotten Garden and The Secret Keeper. I've only read the first two so far but plan on reading the others very soon. They are amazing books and are so addictive! I literally can't  put them down once I've started reading them. They really capture your imagination and your always picturing the characters and the situations. I would definitely recommend Kate Morton as an author to anyone so if your a bookworm like me and you've never read any of  her books go and read them now! You won't regret it!

I'd also like to say thank you to everyone that is following me as I have now reached 25 followers. This may not sound like many to most people but when I first started this blog I didn't really expect any followers so its quite an achievement for me! So, thank you!
Remember to leave any suggestions for blog posts that you have in the comments for me please!

No ideas!!!

Heyya,

Sorry I haven't posted in a while guys! I just didn't know what to post about and then I was going to do a haul but then my camera died so I couldn't and yeh... I'm rambling a bit now! So, if you've got any ideas on what I should post about please let me know in the comments! Anyway, I should hopefully post again soon when I've got some more ideas or I've got my camera sorted and whatnot.

Much love,

Jeminix
