Scary Weekend

So this weekend was such a scary moment when my boyfriend had to be rushed to the emergency room for a severe nosebleed. He recently had surgery to correct a deviated septum and somehow that procedure triggered the most severe nosebleeds. I was so scared to see that amount of blood pouring out of my boyfriend. It took all the strength I had to stay strong and not break down. However, I am happy to report that he is doing well after an emergency surgery.

You never really realize how important your health is until you loose it. I often forget to thank god for blessing my loved ones and myself with good health. I am going to try to just say a quick "thank you" everyday from now on. I am so happy and grateful that this health scare is over. For now, I am 24 hour nurse and I wouldn't have any other way :)

INSANITY

Forgive me for my lack of posts for the past few months. I had no time with law school summer classes and my internship, but its over now and I am officially on vacation! Woohoo!

I just started doing Insanity and I know y'all have seen the infomercial at 5am on TV.I ordered it because I felt that I need a kick in the butt to work out and boy, did I get a kick! Shaun T., the creator, is an animal and he makes you sweat like crazy. I've been doing it for a week and I am so sore, but it's that good sore where you're proud of yourself.

I hope to finish the whole program which is 60 days. I've been eating super healthy and I really hope my trip to Disney World doesn't ruin all my hard work.


I am definitely going try to update my blog now that law school doesn't completely control my life.



Love,

Spring Break!

I've been meaning to write a post for a while, however this week has been pure torture! I had 2 papers to write and 2 interviews, which literally took up all of my time. I was running around this week like a chicken without a head, which is not a pretty image. I've also been doing my best to get to the gym more than 3 times a week.

Going to the gym is such a great stress reliever and I honestly think my brain works faster and more efficiently after the gym. The only downside is making time for it because as a law student it seems like time is the one thing we are always missing. Oh, and sleep.

Some good things did happen this week like for one I got my Erin Condren Life Planner!! I cannot express how much I love my planner its amazing. I live by my planner and purchasing the life planner seemed like the right investment. I'll post the video on here so you guys can fall in love with the life planner.

Another good piece of news, is that I was offered the public interest fellowship I applied for this summer. I am extremely excited and can't wait to see how this summer turns out. I feel very blessed to have such amazing opportunities to further my career.

Now although spring break is here I see myself spending all my time in the library. Oh, the woes of a law student.


       
  

The wonders of coconut oil

I was hoping to post the results of my honey facial mask, but my best friend and I ended up falling asleep before we could try it.Its hard to test something when a sleep coma has a hold over you.However, I did manage to make my hair mask this week with coconut oil and it made my hair so shiny and soft.

If you haven't tried coconut oil I suggest you stop what you're doing right now and go get it! Honestly, I can't say enough about the wonders of coconut oil because its so useful for everything.

Coconut oil is one of the best organic treatments for hair. It provides hair the essential proteins required for nourishing damaged hair follicles. It also helps hair growth! I mean come on that alone should sell you on it. Coconut oil helps provide a shiny complexion to hair and prevents dandruff from occurring.

Another great benefit of coconut oil is that it acts a moisturizer for skin. It prevents skin from drying and delays wrinkles. You're never too young to start worrying about wrinkles. I put coconut oil on at night like a mostiruizer and my skin and I wake up with soft and glowing skin. Oh, and did I mention that it smells amazing?

I have read some articles that label coconut oil as a weight loss supplementary, but I haven't personally tried this benefit. I'll keep coconut oil as a beauty product for now.

Im gonna share you with the recipe for my coconut oil and egg hair mask. Now I must warn you if you have thin hair do not put the mask on your scalp because it will cause excess oil to build up. Because I have thick hair I apply it all over my hair like if it was shampoo.

You will need the following ingridents:
1 egg
2 tbsp of coconut oil
one bowl
clear gloves

Put the 2 tbsp of coconut oil in a bowl and put it in the microwave for about 15 seconds so it can melt. Coconut oil at room temperature turns into a jelly and it needs to be melted for it to go in the mask. Now crack the egg in the bowl and mix it together. Apply the mask to your hair and concentrate especially on the roots. Put your hair in a ponytail and put on a shower cap. Let the mask set in for about 30-45 minutes. Now wash it out and you might have to shampoo about two times to make sure the mask comes out.

Voilà you now have gorgeous hair!

No need to thank me.

My very first post!

I decided to start this blog after realizing that law school has completely killed any creativity I use to have. I'm really excited to start blogging! Is blogging a verb, by the way? I feel kind of silly using it as an action. Anyways, I can't wait to share reviews on beauty products, organic beauty treatments, and my life lessons as a law student.

I will warn you right now that I plan on mentioning my schnauzer,Federico,in every post. I can't help it! He's my grumpy ball of fur.

Heres a glamour shot of him.

Okay, enough of Fede...for now at least. So my best friend is coming over tonight and we're going to try out a new organic honey facial mask I found on pinterest. I just joined pinterest about a day ago so naturally I have no idea how to use it. After tinkering with the app for about an hour I was able to find this great honey mask recipe. I'll post the results and the recipe tomorrow.

WellI'm off to confront my real life and study contracts,ew.
