IT'S SUMMER!!!

 

I can't believe it's finally summer time! Maybe some of you are still in school and I hope that you are just as excited as I am!  Summer is the time that gives us freedom to do whatever.  Although my summer will look nothing like the one above I can hope that all of you have an awesome summer.

 So since it is now summer time I have decided to add 2 more pages to my blog!!! and I am really excited about both of them and hope that you guys are too!

• Barefoot Summer - For all of the summer updates and anything summer related you can find it here.  Summer drink recipes, Beautiful beach visits, Tanning mishaps, and more.

• Summer Wishes - This is something new I am going to try and I hope you guys will want to participate.  Email us at oncetwicemakeawish@gmail.com and tell us what you wish to happen to you this summer.  It would then be posted under this category with your age and state, unless otherwise stated.     (Id love for you guys to participate in this I think it would be a great way to kick off the summer with everyone sharing what they would like to happen this summer.)

 I'll tell you guys my summer wish! But only if you promise not to tell.....I want to meet a nice guy this summer maybe fall in love, I want to have an adventure and do something completely different!  South Carolina, 19

 



Hair obsession

So lately I have been really obsessed with DIY hair recipes and guess what?  I can fit all of my hair into a ponytail now!!!!!!!!!!! I may be a little too excited about that fact Oppsies.
So I have found a few things I'd like to share with you guys.

One of the best things for your hair is Olive Oil.....I know this sounds crazy but if you put 2 tablespoons of this in your hair for 30-40 minutes with a hot towel wrapped around it before your shower It can heal split ends, and promotes growth.  I have done this for two nights in a row and I can say my hair has never been so soft.  I have heard people use coconut oil since I started researching however I prefer olive oil, with coconut you have to melt it first.  I also much prefer the consistency of olive oil.

I also made an all natural hair lightener you can find it on my other blog: DIY Beauty Recipes 


I would love to hear from you guys! What are your favorite DIY beauty recipes?

College life = no life

So maybe you are in college, maybe you aren't.  Well let me tell you one thing not everyone's college life is like in the movies.  Actually no one I know gets to party that much and stay in school for longer than a year.  I have gone to zero parties my freshman year of college and already I have failed one class and I am on the brink of loosing my scholarship......

So now I have to take summer classes and those well they don't sound like the most fun things to be doing all summer, but we do what we have to inorder to stay in school.  So I looked up some tips on how to avoid the situation I am currently in (I don't think you want advice from me)

 

1. Don't be a procrastinator

        I for one have a huge problem with this I always manage to convince myself that I can do things last minute and then I either have to settle for a lower grade or take the no sleep option (I love sleep so that is the last resort)  So make a calendar for yourself and make sure you stick by it don't let yourself be talked out of doing work.

 

2. Turn off your phone for 1 hour 1/2 each day

        This is the hardest one for me I always like to be in touch with my friends but if you just turn your phone off for 1 hour and 1/2 and commit yourself to doing work you will be surprised at what you get done.  And for those who are about to ask me about Pandora? NO!!!! you'll hear your little notification ring go off and be too tempted.  My advice if you are working on a laptop go to Pandora's website and use that.

 

3. Block out distractions

          I didn't know about this until recently but there are actual websites you can go to and you can block social media websites and all kinds of things!  Just go on google and type in block websites for studying/ study helper block websites whichever you prefer.

 

4. And last but not least don't be afraid to ask for help

          I didn't want to believe I could be wrong and not be able to do all of this on my own so when anyone told me I was doing it wrong I became headstrong and shut them down.  Don't do this its the worst thing you could actually do and trust me it wont help in the least.

 

I am now taking three classes this summer because no one told me I was being a stubborn pig head so I hope that maybe this will prevent someone from making the same mistakes.
