Starting a New Me

This is a difficult post for me to say at the very least.  It's something that makes me very uncomfortable to talk about, but yet I know I need to talk about it and make some changes, and I figure if I post about it, then maybe I'll be more motivated to stay with it.

I have been overweight my whole life, that's nothing new. However, now that I am getting older, I've noticed some alarming physical changes that just need to end.  I hate being so tired all the time, I hate not being able to go for walks and such with my boyfriend, and I hate that after working an 8 hour shift, that my feet and hips hurt so bad and I wake up hurting the next day.  I'm only 30 and something has to change.

A few months ago I had joined a gym for the first time in my life.  That was pretty short lived though since I just couldn't get the motivation to go after working all day, and then having to drive like 20 minutes to get there.  So I've decided to look at myself and make small changes that will hopefully lead to a larger outcome in the future.

This first week was just about getting it in my mind.  I weighed myself on Monday, and haven't really done anything different except for tracking what I eat.  I've also started taking Lipozene to see what affect it will have.  I haven't taken diet pills in years, so we'll see if it does anything.  I look forward to tracking my progress and my thoughts and emotions.  I've always been someone that benefits from writing things down, so hopefully this will continue.

And just so you know everything...I do have a thyroid problem and will be starting back on that medicine, as well as I have medicine to help my PCOS that I will be starting back to taking too.  I don't want to just lose weight and look better, but I want to feel better as well.

Thanks for reading my first entry, any advice or positive thoughts are welcome, but please no negative ones!

This picture was taken in July 2015, and I'm hoping that my next July I'll look more like the self I want to be.

Just a Quick Update...

So I know this doesn't really have anything to do with makeup, but it's been a little while since I've posted, so I felt I needed to.

The reason for this lapse is due to the fact that my grandfather has been in the hospital all week. He's home now, hopefully for good. But it has been a stressful week, with the trips to the hospital, working, and I've been staying with my grandmother so she doesn't feel afraid by herself.

This week I start summer school which will last for 6 weeks, so needless to say I feel like I've done nothing but run and run for months. I can't wait for July when I can actually relax for 2 months! =)

I will do a blog this week of my eyeshadows. I wanted to do a series of posts about my makeup collection with pictures and things that I love and things I wish I had never gotten.

So, upcoming blog posts include:

Eyeshadows

Face Products

Blush and Bronzer

Eyeliner

Mascara

Lipgloss

Lipstick

More Reviews!!!

And hopefully some hauls along the way! =)

Thanks for sticking with my everyone! Talk to you soon.

Later!

A Ramble

So I realized today that I have a makeup addiction, haha. I was really trying to not buy makeup right now because 1) I'm going to a CCO (Cosmetic Company Outlet) in two weeks and I wanted to save money in case I found a bunch of awesome stuff 2) I don't really need anything!!! and 3) I wanted to save money and room for a couple of the MAC collections coming up since I already have a couple things picked out for them (I know, I'm a dweeb).

However...I still just ordered ANOTHER blush from Sephora. And why you might ask? Because Tiffany aka MakeupByTiffanyD just used it in a tutorial and said it was pretty. I know, I'm really pathetic. I did still have that 15% off coupon though...does that make it better? I know, not really. I don't know, I've recently been into using blushes, I think they help conceal my bright cheeks with a pretty peachy or tanish color. =)

I also wanted to add that I am still using the Best Bath Store products, and I really am liking them! I think I'm going to definitely have to get more of the toner, I think that is what is making my skin feel so good. I'll of course keep using them and try to keep updating on my thoughts, but as of right now, I really like them.

One other tip I wanted to share is the awesome plastic drawer thingys that Walmart sells! I have like 7 of the smallest ones in my bathroom holding all my makeup and like 2 of the big ones in my room helping to organize my stuff. These things are great to help organize anything, and they are really affordable too!!

Well, I guess that's it for today. I had just used the face stuff and wanted to share that I think they are really good products! Hope you all are having a great day!

LATER!
