Pursuit of Happiness

Hi Everyone!
Today I am going to talk about something that is very important to me. That is happiness. I see so many people who are not happy and it makes me sad. I believe everyone deserves to be happy. If you are going through a tough time....you will get over that hard time. You may not see it now....but I promise you that things will turn out for the best. You just have to believe that good things will happen. Motivate yourself to live a happy lifestyle. But also, you have to believe in yourself. The number one tip to happiness in my opinion, is to believe in yourself.

For a long time, I did not believe in myself. I am 17 years old and I still have a lot of insecurities but everyone else does. To this day I am still struggling with that but I have learned that if I motivate myself, stay positive through the hardships and don't have a negative mindset, happiness will be a main focus in my life.

Some tips that I have learned to stay positive and be happy is self motivation. I highly suggest you do something you love. Even if you have a busy lifestyle, one day or maybe even one hour a week could be dedicated to what you love to do. Whether it is doing yoga , reading, surfing, snowboarding, playing a video game, watching YouTube videos, or just hanging out with your family. Doing something that your truly enjoy can make a huge difference on your outlook on life.

Now the positive mindset. It is so hard for people think positive sometime when things are not hard. But one thing you can do is just breathe. It is so simple but if you breathe, it can relax you a little in the moment and you can try to get through the situation. Another thing you can do is have a mantra. Whether it's, " Happiness is bliss.", " You are amazing.", " Be proud of yourself." Simple mantras like that can change your whole outlook on life. One mantra I say to myself is, "You are Sophia and no one can change that." Sometimes I have to say it multiple times but soon I feel a little better about myself. You all should try it. See if it works.

Doing these little things can change your outlook on life. It's hard to think past the hardships in life but you can do it. Stay positive. Be happy. If you put your mind on something, you can succeed and you will. Have a wonderful weekend!

Carpe Diem,
Sophia

Beauty and Random Favorites for 2014!

Happy 2015 Everyone! I hope that the start of 2015 is going well for you all. I am super excited to be sharing my top 2014 products with you. At the end of the blog post, I will be sharing some random favorites as well. I hope you all enjoy! Face: I have two favorite foundations for 2014. The first one is a high end foundation and it is the  Tarte Amazonian Clay 12- Hour Full Coverage Foundation . I have the shade Medium-Tan Honey. This is my special occasion foundation. Since it is pretty expensive ( $38) I do not want to use it every day. My favorite part of this foundation is how much it looks like skin on your face but it looks like a more flawless version of my skin. But I personally do not like the cake face look and I like the more natural look and this foundation gives it to me. The second foundation is from the drugstore and it is the  Loreal True Match Super-Blendable Make up . I am in the shade W3. I heard about this foundation all over YouTube but ...

Stretch marks are when light or dark lines appear on your stomach or thighs when you have gained weight or  when the elasticity in your skin has stretched.
