Workout Routine

Hey!!
Today's blog will be about a new routine I have started today. Have you guessed what it is? (hint: read the title) Yep, that's right I have started a workout routine! I am very excited for these next few weeks to be getting in shape and working out my body: dance style! I think this is the best way to work out. Not only is it so much fun it's effective and gives results. (so they claim, I will see in a few weeks)
I have five workout dvd's that will help me on my journey to a better looking, toned body that's perfect for the beach. Two of the dvd's are strictly exercise. Yoga, pilates, crunches and things like that. Boring stuff but still work and I will still use them. While the other three dvd's are workouts based on ABC's show Dancing With The Stars. Yay! Now that is exciting stuff! They teach various dances seen on the show and you get a workout at the same time. I will be dancing along with the stars every day and in a few weeks I should have a rockin' beach body and know several dances from the show. I'm super pumped!
Today was my first day watching these dvd's. I did a bunch of yoga and pilates to start things off and then after some rest I continued with learning some dance moves with Chelsie, Kym and Edyta. I learned the Argentine Tango which I think was my favorite, and I learned the Paso Doble which was hot and finally the Jive. The jive was so fast I couldn't keep up. I fell a couple times, I'll admit it. But I got the majority of the dance down and now I just have to keep practicing and before you know it, I will be a Jive pro. I still think Chelsie looks a lot like Kaley Cuoco. Anyone else see it or is it just me? I love Kaley she's so funny. And very pretty! But anyways, the Argentine Tango was slow and so its was easy but also very sexy, and so much fun! The Paso Doble was great fun as well. When the stars on tv say they are tired and sore from practicing so much they aren't kidding! Dancing really wears you out! I actually had a headache at the end. But it's gone now after some rest and fluids.                                                                                            
This is me before the workout:                                                       And this is me after:

So yeah, I just laid there for about ten minutes. After a proper cool down of course. I will be doing yoga, pilates and dancing everyday and hopefully everything they claim will come true.
It was a lot of fun and instantly I could feel every muscle working and getting stronger. Everyone should try the workouts created by Dancing With The Stars!

Have an energetic and fun filled day!

Until next time...

Happy Earth Day!

Today is Earth day! 
Let's celebrate the planet by making it green! Recycle everything recyclable, hug some trees, plant some pretty flowers and spread some smiles! 
Today is a happy day! Go ahead and make Earth happy today and every day! 
Photo credit: The Holiday Spot
                                           Earth works hard for us so let us give back. 
          In honor of Earth day I am doing all of the things I mentioned above that 
           everyone should do: recycle, hug trees, plant flowers and spread smiles.
                                                           Because I love my planet.
                                                      Here is a special poem I wrote:

                                                                        Dear Earth:
Roses are red,
violets are blue,
we wouldn't have these flowers
if it weren't for you.

So come on! What are you waiting for? Get out there and make the Earth green! (And yellow! And orange! And purple! And all the pretty flower colors!) Hopefully I have inspired you to make the world a healthier place after reading this post. If I can inspire just one person, I have won. I have made a difference. 

Happy Earth day!!!

Until next time...

If Only I Had Enough Money [part two]

So I have covered all of the places in America I want to visit in part one of this post so let's move on to part two:  the western part of the world. 

London, England
First up I want to visit London, England. That place is so beautiful and historical. It fascinates me and it would even be cool to live there. Next I want to migrate over to Ireland and explore that also beautiful country. Moving eastward, I have been to Germany, Denmark, Austria and Sweden. I have also been to Croatia, Bosnia and Slovenia.
Dubrovnik, Croatia
I was actually born in Croatia if you didn't know. Here's an interesting fact I bet you didn't know: the necktie, called a cravat, was invented in Croatia in the 1630's. How awesome is that?! 
Paris, France
Okay moving a bit south, Paris is another city I really want to visit! Take a picture with the Eiffel Tower and all that. I know Spanish so I would do well in Spain, which is another country I want to visit. Barcelona to be exact. And if you know Spanish, you would also do well in Italy. Why? Because the two languages are so similar to each other it's scary. I do know some Italian and am teaching myself some more. Because I get bored and learning languages comes easily to me. I have been to Venice and that city took my breath away, The city on water is simply gorgeous. And expensive
Rome, Italy
I want to visit Rome and the culture there. I think that city is the oldest in the world. The rich culture and historical buildings fascinate me. Now, Greece is also very old. Actually, now I'm not sure which country is older, Greece or Italy. I'm thinking Greece. I want to visit Athens, Greece. Poland maybe, and Moscow, Russia would also be very cool places to visit. 

African Safari
Moving south to Africa. I only want to go to two places in Africa: the Safari to see the lions, giraffes, zebras and all the animals that live there; and Cairo, Egypt to see all the pyramids and sphinx. 
The place I never want to go to is China! But near China is Japan and I would like to visit Tokyo. It would be like being in NYC except 50x bigger! Ha. 
Sydney, Australia
And the final stop, since I have taken you around the world to countries I wish to visit, we come to Australia. Sydney to be exact. I think a plane ticket to Australia costs over $2,000! Holy crap on a cracker! (quoting Penny from BBT). A plane ticket to anywhere is generally expensive but this is ridiculous. I still wish to visit Sydney someday when I have saved up every cent I have earned for like five years.

Well there you go, hope you had an adventure reading my visit wish list. My goal is to visit all of these places but we will see what my future holds. I will post a new adventure when I have it. 

Until next time...

If Only I Had Enough Money [part one]

In this post I will talk about the places I wish to visit someday. I am a very adventurous gal and love to explore new and exciting places! I wish I had a lot of money to travel around the world, but sadly I don't. Maybe I can do an annual trip thing. That would be awesome! I can start out going to different states in America and in several years I can start going to different countries. (If I have a good paying job). I have been to Florida with my parents many times and I love it. Because we drive to Florida, I have been through all of the states from Indiana to Florida including Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia and on the way back we take a somewhat different route and those states included KY, TN, South Carolina and North Carolina. I have also been to Ohio, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey. And when I was thirteen I took a road trip all the way to Los Angeles, California with my parents. (side note: my dad is a truck driver so that explains all the road trips).
LA was freaking amazing even though I didn't get to explore it (but I did see the Hollywood sign) since my dad was on a schedule to pick up stuff and drive it to another location. That was a bummer but I will someday come back to LA and explore (especially since now I have a cousin that lives there). I also have a cousin that lives is Portland, Oregon so I'll hit up that place too.
Probably on my trip to Seattle, Washington. We did stop in Las Vegas for a night and we went to the casino, but since I was thirteen I couldn't enter the actual casino room, instead I had to wait in the lobby. That wasn't fun as much fun. Phoenix, AZ would be fun to visit and Denver, Colorado. Nebraska was a boring state and I don't remember Iowa. Arizona and New Mexico were super humid and I don't remember Kansas. I do know I didn't see Dorothy and Toto. Ha. I have been to Michigan many times (since we live like fifteen minutes from the border). I visit Silver Beach on Lake Michigan quite often in the summer. Last summer I went to Tulsa and I absolutely loved it! I want to go back someday. It is so beautiful. St. Louis (in my experience) sucked majorly. I had such a horrible experience and I'm never going there again. I really want to visit Dallas, Texas. I think it would be a lot of fun exploring that city.
Moving on to the east coast, I want to visit NYC and explore what the city that never sleeps has to offer. I bet I would have the time of my life there! I also want to visit Charlotte, NC and Charleston, SC and hit up Myrtle Beach! Sounds way fun! Maybe I'll do that this summer. If I have the money. I have to take a math class until the end of June, ugh fail. So hopefully after that I can go on my road trip with some pals. Oh and I want to visit Alaska! Even though I hate winter time and the cold, Alaska sounds like a fun place to visit. . . for like a day. Maybe I'll see a polar bear and some penguins. How awesome would that be! I've seen them in zoos but it would be magical seeing them in their natural habitats.

On the other side I really want to go to The Bahamas. I'm not really a Hawaii fan, but the Bahamas sounds perfect. It's sunny and the water is so clear and pretty. It sounds so relaxing, but also exciting.

Thanks for reading I hope you enjoyed it. Stick around to read part two! I will take you around the world to countries I wish to visit. (It also includes pictures).

Until next time...

The Coolest Android App That Ever Existed

So I have come across an app that made my day! I mean seriously made my day. It's a simple and free download to your phone and inside it features hundreds if not thousands of items your little heart desires to download and use. I have spent literally one hour just browsing and downloading ringtones. There is a wide range of everything for everyone! But what really made me super excited and jumping for joy was when I came across the Big Bang Theory theme song ringtone. Oh em gee I almost died. Right then and there I downloaded it and set it as my ringtone. #SuperHappyPrincessOverHere. I'm not even joking! That is my favorite show and to have their theme song as my ringtone is freaking amazing! I mean I guess I could have easily recorded it myself from the show if I really wanted to but this is way better finding it when you're not looking for it. It also features wallpapers available for download and games! Oh yeah I forgot to mention the name of the app. Silly me! This fantastic and magical app is called Zedge. Yep there it is. Go and download it and rate it with five stars. Because it is that awesome. Hearing my new ringtone for texts I receive excites me every time. You can tell what little stuff makes me happy. You don't even have to try hard at all to make me smile. It's as simple as discovering something new and exciting.
I did have troubles setting up my text ringtone and that frustrated the heck out of me. But that was only because I didn't change my ringtone from the text message settings. I kept going on the sound settings. I even deleted my old ringtone to see if maybe it was somehow dominating my new ringtone I had set. Or maybe the new one was an unsupported format and if that was the case I would have been very sad. So after I had deleted my old ringtone I had no ringtone. It didn't want to play any sound when I received texts. That made me even more frustrated. But after literally one hour of messing with everything possible on my phone I finally figured it out and felt dumb afterward. I even considered taking it to a professional to fix it. Now that I think about it my phone is a straighttalk phone and I have no idea who I would even take it to. But thankfully I didn't have to do that. I fixed it myself and I am praising God right now that everything works great.
Wow this is a very long post. Okay I'm ending it now. Have a great day!

Until next time...

Indiana Struggles At Life

Yeah. Living in Indiana is so retarted. Its spring weather goes from 75 degrees one day to 40 degrees the very next day. Of course I'm talking about today and yesterday as examples. It was nice and warm and sunny (but later stormed) yesterday and today... omg! It felt like I was back in February not April. I want to move to California. I'm not even joking. Someday. (Hopefully). But for right now I must stay and endure the strange weather in Indiana. I don't even know why my family moved here. Honestly. And we moved from Florida! What the freaking eff! Whatevs. The parentals decided to torture my soul by moving to a state with constant freakish weather. But I have this lovely blog on the interweb to share with all of you of my unhappy being. I had a friend in high school and her family moved from California. Actually I had a few friends that moved from California. Why on Earth would you do that? What possessed you to come to Indiana? I guess this state can be way awesome for people who like odd weather and a bunch of nothingness. Well there is corn. Plenty of corn, everywhere. So that's good! I like corn. Indianapolis is pretty cool so if you come to Indiana visit the state capital. I like adventure and exploring places and I love to sight-see so it would be interesting for my boring life to live in a bigger city and actually have things to go do on weekends. I love to take road trips and I have visited a few places and I want to broaden my horizon and explore more areas. Since summer is coming soon I'm planning another road trip but recently I learned that might not happen due to the fact that I have to retake my dumb math class again. Ugh math fails, not just struggles but fails, at life. (Please don't point out that this phrase doesn't make sense because I know it doesn't... just go with me on it so we can all be happy). I'll discuss my feelings toward math in another post. But for right now it's adios amigos!

Until next time...

M[ental]A[abuse]T[o]H[umans]

I just have to blog about how math sucks. Bare with me or don't read. Math is seriously mental abuse to my brain. I have to use all of my energy and brain power to solve a math problem. And when you mix crap from five chapters ago to a new problem I want to punch something. I envy those who are good at math and can solve a problem in ten seconds. Can I borrow your brain? Math frustrates the heck out of me and causes so much stress. If it is possible to die from math I would have died like five years ago. Actually high school math was so bad it's college math that is ridiculous. And what's worse is I have not only this math class to take but also five more! Oh em gee!
This is how my brain works:
Art, music, theater, Spanish, Latin, psychology, some science and some history all come easily to me, but math? I am like a fifth grader in calculus class. Spanish and Latin are not foreign languages to me. Math is a very complicated foreign language! Excuse me while I scream. Effing math. I hate you. I want to run you over with my car a dozen times, then rip you apart and burn the pieces. Because that's how much pain you cause me. It's unbearable.

Okay I'm done with my rant. Now I will watch my favorite movie and eat some ice cream. Moving away from the depressive and anger inducing subject to a happy and fun environment. Have a wonderful day!

Until next time...
