Crisis Averted....and then started...

Hey Guys!
Sooo I feel as though I have been MIA for a realllyyy long time.....is it just me or is that true? Anyways, the program I used to edit my videos stopped working and I required some help in getting it fixed but it's all fixed now!!! :D So, I will be uploading videos in the next couple of days!! My sister is in town for the long weekend so I will be hanging out with her majority of the time but never fear for I shall make some videossss. So this week I went shopping with a friend of mine..I did not really buy much since being a student = being super broke so I only bought 2 shirts from Forever 21 and a pair of pumps which I'm considering returning since they are not that comfortable....BUT! It was kind of sad to go shopping because it only reminded me of how fat school has made me :( My lean 125 lbs figure is gone :( This has resulted in me hitting the gym hardcore and I WANT THIS WEIGHT TO MELT. But as we all know the holiday season is coming up and this is like the HARDEST TIME to lose weight EVER because of all the yummy food enticing me. Seriously...I have no will power. How am I going to survive? Chocolate is my weakness.....Let's see how I do. Ugh OKAY! I think it's video editing time so I will see you guys later and don't forget to check out my youtube channel!! Links on the side :D

Surprise Visits

Hey Guys! 

So, today I unexpectedly was able to hang out with an old friend of mine who I haven't seen in a couple of months. It started off as the most random little adventure every and it turned into a wonderful eye opening conversation. I feel like sometimes we, as humans, can hear the same advice over and over again from the same person but once a 3rd person comes along and repeats the same thing in maybe different words we all of a sudden "see the light" Isn't that odd? It's like when I'm telling my boyfriend that he should do something. And he will just nod along.....then when someone else says the same thing I said he will come to me and say "I SHOULD DO THIS" And I sit there thinking....did I not just say that to you a few days ago???

You guys know what I'm talking about right?..Today I had a friend do that with me. And I am very thankful to this friend :D I realized that as calmly and as logically as I approach a situation, that doesn't ensure that my point of view is correct. I need to work harder to keep the promises I make....I'm feeling quite philosophical at the moment. I did quite a bit of thinking today about things that have been bothering me this week and some conversations that I have been having. I was certain that I was right and I was...but not really. I need consistency to ensure confidence. Am I even making sense? I'm trying to be specific but vague at the same time :P I think it's resulting in some serious confusion...Ok well I shall leave you with this post for today while I go and edit another video I'll be posting in the next few days...Good night! Have a good night guys :)

Ocean Eyes

Hey guys! So, I was a tad bored today so I ended up playing around with all of my makeup and created a new eye look that I appropriately named "Ocean Eyes" The colors I used reminded me of the ocean and I really liked the final outcome. :D Yayyyyy. I posted some pictures for you guys below! Until next time....toodles! xoxoxox. 

Excuse the eyelash glue...it wasn't done drying yet YIKES! lol

Bookssss

Hey Guys!
So today my little sister dragged me into my local Chapters so she could buy study guide for one of her classes. I became extremely bored and wandered off into the Medicine section of the bookstore and found TWO BOOKS that interested me so much that I just had to buy them. Now, normally I don't buy books because I feel like I can just go to the library and check them out for free and since I'm a student and never really have any money...........the library is my best friend. But these two books were so awesome that I just HAD to own them. I haven't read them yet but will most def post reviews on them once I am done but these are the books:

This book is called "The Night Shift" by Dr. Brian Goldman. It's about his experiences and about real life in the E.R. (Emergency Room)

I also picked up this book "Chicken Soup for the Nurse's Soul". I love reading/hearing about other nurse's experience in their respective fields and since I'm so sappy I thought this book would make for great inspirational stories as well as a good cry!

I am really really excited to read these books. I read one of the mini stories in the Chicken Soup book and found myself on the verge of tears in Chapters....how embarrassing lol. I bought that book specifically so that I could reminded about why I chose to be a nurse in the first place because these stories are filled with all the right reasons. I chose to buy "The Night Shift" because I am extremely interested in emergency medicine and want to specialize in that field. I want to know as much as possible about this department because I will never get to be in emerg as part of any of my rotations so it's a little interest of mine! Okay well I'm going to get reading and I'll post my thoughts on the stories as I get through them! Don't forget to check out my youtube channel and make sure to follow my blog :) See you guys laterrrrrrrrrr
