My Sick Day Essentials

Lately I have come down with a cold and have been stuck inside the house so I thought I would share with you guys my essentials for when I am feeling under the weather. I would also just like to say that I am super sorry I haven't had a blog up for like ever! I had a really cool valentines day blog written and totally forgot to click publish, so maybe you guys will see it next year!



1.Tea - I am not a huge tea person but lately I have been really getting into it and I must say the tea world is a good world. I find that tea especially one with antioxidants helps me feel a little bit more awake and fresh.

2.Water - I know every one says to drink water when your sick but that's because it works. I find that maybe adding some lemon or lime or maybe even orange slices adds and great flavor to the water.

3. Face Clothes - What better way to cool down from a fever then a nice cold face cloth on the back of your neck. If you have a cold, I find some times washing my face with a cold face cloth makes me feel refreshed and more awake.

4.A Warm Sweater - I don't think there is anything better then cozening up with your favorite sweater when your sick.

5.Your Favorite Movie - weather is a horror movie or action more or chick flick if its your favorite its bound to cheer you up.

I hope guys enjoyed :) if you did let me know in the comments below or if you have any requests please comment those down below.

Thanks for reading :)

5 things to do when its raining

I know that sometimes bad weather can bring you down and trust me I know how you feel, it rains 24/7 sometimes where I live. So I thought why not post a blog on things you can do to add a little happiness to your rainy day.




1.Watch a movie

When its raining I like to curl up and watch a movie that I really enjoy but haven't seen for the longest time. Recently the Princess Diaries was added to Netflix and those movies bring back so many memories from when I was little, so it was a nice trip down memory lane.


2.Go to a Museum

If you would don't feel like staying inside your home all day try going to a museum. Its a nice change to do something that is somewhat educational and hey who knows, you might even learn something.


3.Bake!

I love baking and a rainy day is the perfect opportunity to try out a ton of new recipes.It also supplies you with an opportunity to make some breakfasts for the week ahead Some of my favorites are muffins, scones or loafs.

4.Read a book

I know everyone says to read a book on a rainy day, but trust me, when I say a good book is a great way to make a rainy day pass. I find that if you read a book on a rainy day you can escape into a different world and away from all the nasty weather. If you don't like reading try listening to books.

5.Start a blog!

Believe it or not I came up with the idea to start this blog on a rainy day, which also gave me the inspiration to write this blog. I love having blogs as my creative outlet. Check out may baking blog for recipes if idea number 3 appeals to you at teenagebakester.blogspot.com/

January Favorites

Hi Guys! I thought I would share with you my favorite finds for the month of January. I hope you enjoy!


Makeup

Mac blush "cubic" - I LOVE this blush. It is very easy to apply because you cant over do it. I have pale skin and sometimes its hard to find blushes that don't look over powering  but this blush works perfectly.

High Beam by Benefit- high beam is a fantastic liquid highlighter. I received a sample size in a value pack that I purchased at Sephora and I instantly fell in love this product. It goes on so nicely and is great for everyday 
use.

Instant age rewind concealer by Maybelline- obviously I don't need this product for looking younger but its works great for dark circle concealer. I get dark circles  when I don't get enough sleep (which happens a lot...) and this concealer does a great job to cover them up and make me look more awake.

Contour/Concealer Palette by Morphe Brushes- What I love most about this palette is the variety. Its great for when I am doing my friends makeup because it has so many different shades of concealer to fit different skin tones. I personally enjoy the "green/blue" concealer, it is said to cover up redness and I think this is beat product that I have tired so far that deals with redness. I defiantly recommend this palette to anybody.

Skincare

Makeup removing cleanser by Aveeno- I really enjoy the Aveeno skincare but this is probably one of my favorite cleansers. This product is especially good at getting eye makeup. I sometimes have a problem getting of some mascaras with my regular makeup removers buts this works great.

Honest healing balm by The Honest Co- My mom received this product in her January  birch box and I used it in on a small cold sore I had and it disappeared over night! This product is so amazing it works great on cold sores, dry patches, problems areas and eczema.

Hair

Batiste dry shampoo- I use this the floral & flirty blush one but its comes in various different ones to match your hair color (I have dirty blond hair). this dry shampoo works great for those quick touches up and also works great when your on vacation and you are to relaxed/lazy  to wash your hair.

Fragrance

Our moment by One Direction- this scent is vibrant and playful fruity floral fragrance. It is great for everyday wear. Every time I wear this perfume I get so many compliments.

Nails

Jazzy Jubilant by Essie- this is a glittery top coat that pairs great with a mint green or black base coat. What I love most about this polish is that it has so many colors and different size glitters. Its a great way to spice up your winter polishes.

Nail polish remover pads by Absolute!- I got these  in a popsugar box and what I love most about these is that they are great for on the go. They also come in various scents, mine is peach.

Fashion

Doc Martens- I own the black 1460s and I think I am in love. I wear theses shoes probably 5 out 7 days in a week. These shoes pair great with leggings. One of my favorite outfits to wear with them are black leggings, jean shirt and a black beanie.

Knotted head bands- i purchased mine from Forever 21or Etsy but you can get them at most clothing and accessory stores. I love to wear mine with a high pony tail or a top knot. They are also great for those days when your hair just doesn't want to corporate.

Food

Bananas and peanut butter smoothies- This smoothie is one of my dad's invention and its a great healthy choice for breakfast. One serving size is about 350 calories. To make this smoothie you just blend 3 medium bananas, 16 ounces of skim milk and two heaping tbsp all natural peanut butter, blend and enjoy :).


Kale!- known as one of the healthy food on earth. I love kale in soups, pan fried and made into oven-baked chips. I find its a very versatile ingredient and I love cooking with it.



Book

Allegiant by Veronica Roth- this book is the third book in the very popular divergent series and to be honest words can't describe how good this book is. When reading this book the romance and adventure will have you on the edge of your seat and you guaranteed to fall in love with the characters, I know I did. I recommend this book to all ages.

Songs 


Frozen movie soundtrack- I couldn't pick one, I love them all :)


Midnight Memories by One direction

Counting stars by OneRepublic


My songs know what you did in the dark(Light em up) by Fall out boy

Chained by The xx


Random

Cities desk calendar by Rifle Paper co- I received this calendar in my January popsugar box and I love seeing it when I wake up everyday. I am big travel junkie so I really enjoy this calendar.
