Picture Frame Collage

Along with getting stress relief products and a flower painting for my birthday, I got the picture frame collage shown above. This collage was made by my older sister, and I absolutely love it. It contains various pictures of my friends and me. As you can see, I hung it up in my room. It makes for a great decoration!

Papaya Facial Face Wash

One of my previous blog posts was the recipe for an easy cucumber mask face wash. I found that recipe through a magazine along with two other recipes. So, I thought I would share the second face wash recipe with you guys!

The papaya facial helps to brighten your skin. Give your skin a glow with this mask that's packed with natural hydrators, like banana, papaya, and coconut water.

1. Combine three tablespoons of mashed papaya with two tablespoons of mashed banana, two tablespoons of milk, one tablespoon of coconut water, and one tablespoon of yogurt.
2. Stir the mixture until it forms a thick consistency, then place it in the fridge for one hour.
3. Smooth the mask onto clean skin.
4. Wait five minutes, then rinse your skin with cool water.

Frozen Yogurt

Frozen yogurt is a snack/dessert that is starting to become more popular. Everywhere I go, I see a frozen yogurt place. It has become the substitution for iced cream. Not only is it healthy but delicious as well!

The first time I had frozen yogurt was last year at Pinkberry. Personally, I don't like Pinkberry too much because they don't have many flavors and toppings to choose from. There is a frozen yogurt place not too far from my house that is actually really good! You get to serve yourself, and it has many different flavors and toppings. I went there for the first time a couple of weeks ago and for the second time today.

I get the same thing every time - tart yogurt with Reese's, chocolate chips, heath bar pieces, and chocolate chip cookie dough.

So do you like frozen yogurt? What do you usually get?

The Ingredients for Teeth Whitening

One thing I'm very self-conscious about is my teeth. I'm constantly brushing them, yet the food I eat keeps keeps staining my teeth, causing them to become discolored. I hate using whitening strips because they just feel gooey and plain gross in my mouth! So I searched for recipes for teeth whitening forever until I came across one on Pinterest.

This process is super easy. All you need to do is apply hydrogen peroxide on your teeth for thirty seconds before you brush them. I pour a tiny bit of hydrogen peroxide into a bathroom cup, dip a q-tip in, and then rub the q-tip on my teeth. It's not time consuming like whitening strips can be, and it actually works!

Stress Relief Products

Part of my birthday present from my boyfriend contained three of Bath and Body Works's stress relief products. The products on the left and right are lotions. The one in the middle is a body wash. I've only been able to use these once, but I'm already in love with them. The body wash is heavenly! I was having a really stressful day one day, so I decided to take a nice, hot shower and use the body wash. It actually helped me to de-stress.

I don't know if there are actually ingredients in these that help get rid of stress, or if it's just the words on the bottles that make you think it will actually help you to become less stressed, therefore tricking yourself into becoming stress-free. Whatever it is, these products are perfect for helping someone to stop stressing!

Room Decoration

My bedroom walls used to be pretty empty. It wasn't until recently that I decided I needed decorations for them to spice up my room. That's when I added the corkboard collage. I got the flower painting above as a gift from my sister for my birthday. It's so cute and matches the color of my walls perfectly!

So what are your walls like? Do you care to decorate them or not even bother?

Midterm Results

For those of you who personally know me, I worry over any kind of test. However, when midterms or finals come around, I worry and stress even more than I usually do. I'm not sure why because they're set up just like normal tests. Maybe it's because I have to study half a year of material instead of just a certain part... who knows! Anyways, I ended up doing really well on my midterms, so I thought I would share my excitement and grades with you guys.

The only midterm I wish I did better on was history, but that class is extremely hard and college-leveled! So I'm actually not that upset over my history grade. My midterm studying techniques definitely helped me!
