My Life....Updated (Part One)

There have been some changes, most of them good. So we are going to have a little mini assembly! Here we go!

ONE//PALATES

On YouTube I found a palates guru named Cassey Ho I am really getting into the palates with her and know I just cant get enough of her, I found her videos threw the LIVESTRONG WOMEN channel on YouTube. Here are some of my favourite videos of hers: 

Her website is http://www.blogilates.com/

PS. Do something nice for someone

PPS. Sing to this song from Frozen I love this movie:

A New Chapter, Lets Call it Chapter 3

I started this blog to help find myself, and to heal the pains of loosing loved ones, not to earn page views, although those are nice, it is just not who I am. I have been finding that through, blogging and other mistakes that I am trying to prove something to anyone who will listen. Now that Thanksgiving has passed and I am starting to get into the Christmas spirit, also with the new church year, I have made Church New Year Resolutions:

1. Be yourself
2. Be gracious with what you have 
3. Only do what makes you happy
4. Be happy in the happiness in others
5. Do on to others as you want done on to you
6. Don't say anything that you wouldn't want said to you
7. Bake for others
8. Do a random act of kindness every other day
9. Don't expect more from people, if you do this they wont give you their best
10. Smile when you feel like you are going to cry
11. Exercise to stay healthy, not to "perfect looks"

I did this for myself, and this is when I needed it the churches new year just came at the right time. I do believe in God, and that miracles do happen, just don't go looking for them. I don't need to prove anything to anyone, it just doesn't mater. We only have limited time on Earth and we are here to Learn, Be Happy, Help others be happy, Teach, Guide, Befriend foes, and Try. Notice that no where on that list is prove to others that we have more than them or are better than them. It is hard, nobody said that it wasn't going to be. And we have to get it all done "Before the Time Runs Out" And I think that this is good enough reason to dance, sing, and be happy so do that to this song:

Mid Fall Haul

In the first week of the month I ordered a bunch of clothes, okay it was only about, seven things, but I must still satisfy my shopping crave the once in a while it comes up insistence I feel like I have NOTHING to wear. I have gotten good about shopping in my closet, but I really needed to find some new pieces. Here is what I got!

L.L. BEAN

My family and I have bean shopping there since we were little, so and I had never ordered their French Sailor Shirt, and I love anything striped so I did in the Turquoise/Cream colour. I knew it would be a good buy since it has bean around for a long time and it was in 'Real Simple Magazine' in March 2013. 

GAP (OR IS IT 'THE GAP') & OLD NAVY

This is another family favourite of our's they have great staple items so I order four things from them. I like that they are sister stores so it is one less order to make! I know that there stuff will fit and look good so I have no hesitations ordering from their stores. I ordered the Circle-Hem Elbow- Patch cardigan from Gap I got it in Cashew Crunch it is the perfect color combo around. 

I also got the plain white button down from Old Navy this is a important staple piece that I have not had in so long (just ask my sister).

I got this plain oatmeal colored tee, since I have bean craving comfort lately and I love the zipper detail on the back. 

The last thing that I ordered from Old Navy was the Diva pant I picked this out since it is like the lower priced J.Crew Minnie pant, I actually think I like the Old Navy version  more. They are carbon coloured, which is in between black and navy. I hope that they fit though!

TARGET

I feel like I am really missing out, until about a week ago I never knew the hidden jems of Target, so I ordered a REALLY cute pair of Leopard print flats, and a Little Black Dress (LBD). The shoes are just simple and as Leah and Mary say the neutral of the Jungle. I ordered a 8.5 (my normal shoe size) and hope they fit!

This dress can be dressed up or down, to church with pearls, and to school with a cardigan and leggings, I can even wear the flats with it. And you will never guess the price, $9.98 (it is on super clearance!) also if you don't want black they have: Deep Berry, Grape Manor, Green Curacao, Osage Orange, Tool Gray, and Xavier Navy. 

P.S. A Mid Fall Look Book will be coming in the near future!

Friday Five

FIVE//A THREE AND A HALF DAY WEEK AT SCHOOL
The only full week in November is next week (not looking forward to it!).

FOUR//MY DOGS

THREE//NEW CLOTHES
What I got coming on Tuesday

TWO//CHOCOLATE ICE CREAM
This is pretty much unexplainable, I just love it

ONE//SNOW

This is not by any stretch what it looked like, but it did snow and that made my week and it is always good to dream that it looked that good! and it only lasted for a night. 

In 20 minutes

For 20 minutes, all of the modern luxuries (except running water) that we have today were useless. We lost power. It was that simple, something took a power line down and we were centered only around ourselves. And those 20 minutes were the most productive of my long weekend. I could of had my Dad help me with our broken Wifi sooner, or pulled out the generator, or gotten my tablet fixed sooner, but none of that crossed my mind, the only pessimistic thought that crossed my optimistic sleepy mind that morning was that I couldn't have eggs and toast for breakfast. I had Cereal. And in those 20 minutes I picked fresh flowers for my room and arraigned them, I feed out neighbors cat, and got about half of my school reading done (I wont tell you the title because it is going to be the next book club book). I think this power outage came at the perfect time, as I (and hopefully you too) am reading 'Riding Shotgun" I got a tiny, tiny glimpse in to how Cig felt, kinda not really.

It's SNOW!!! A Hump Day Happy Special!

After growing up in Toronto Canada, I am used to a ton of snow, but here in North Carolina, it is almost never, that we get snow. So at about 8:10 last night, when my mom and I diagnosed the freezing rain/hail as snow, I was and still am very over whelmed! It has snowed soooo much  Although there is only about a stretched centimeter I am sooooo Happy!!!!

Hump Day Happy

You don't have to watch it today, but watch it sometime soon, I enjoyed this movie so much and I think that you will too. It made me cry and laugh, but mainly cry. This movie is about a man trying to find happiness, and keep his head sane too. The movie is based on a real person, making it even better.

Enjoy!

Isabelle's No Commitment Book Club

The first book that we will be reading is by the author Rita Mae Brown, she has written Rubyfruit Jungle, In Her Day, Southern Discomfort, Sudden Death, High Hearts, Bingo, Venus Envy  Dolley, & Starting From Scratch.  She also co-wrote with Sneaky Pie Brown four of the Mrs. Murphy mysteries, Wish You Were Here, Rest in Pieces, Murder at Monticello, and Pay Dirt. But the Book that we will be reading is Riding Shotgun. It is a 341 page book (the perfect length!) I know that this will be a perfect read since my Mom recommended it to me and I cheated and already started it.

"In a delightful contemporary farce with a riotous twist, Rita Mae Brown welcomes you to Virginia's horse country, where a fox hunt is about to lead a 1990s woman, Cig Blackwood, into a 1690s adventure of the heart.  Infidelity, single motherhood, family betrayal, and the thrill of the hunt (in many varieties) are hilariously and poignantly played out in this captivating novel of time travel and self-discovery."

This book has many plot twists and urges you to read on! I hope you enjoy it like I am!

Isabelle`s simple life lessons

We all have good days and bad days so take each day as a good day until it turns bad don't wake up and decide you are going to be sad today or make it a bad day. And know to that trust that you well have a good day and that you will be loved and cared for and then you don't beast shock so that's okay don't worry I have installed but harder to happen to the earth who wake up and try don't be afraid and don't ignore others when they are having a bad day do not allow their day to stay bad help them look on the bright side hope for them  to be happy. That's hard because happiness something from the inside that's what my mom always tells me. That's what's true, thanks Mom for guiding that an telling me that saying which has helped shape my life morals.

The second thing I found in my short 14 years here: always to be kind. Don't judge until you've walked 500 miles in somebody's shoes. No, actually don't judge anyone for any reason. One of my friends told me "I don't judge people because I know they have so many things about me to judge." Be kind until they are mean to you, and after that be even more kind than you were before. Appreciate everyone for being them selves and apluade them daily in the form of compliments.

Finally be yourself. This takes bravery, but so does alot of things in life. The sooner that you learn that the sooner you will be successful and happy. And once you achive that then help others do the same.

a short story 

Once upon a time it was December 11th 2012.

One was exspecaly nice, and was having half brothers and sisters to Lila...

March 3, 2013, all the little liters were born and ready to go to there home and one of the pups was waiting for that family of four to come and pick him out, he was nine weeks old, being born on December 23, the perfect age for him to go home. That family of four was geting him for there daughters, who had named him Jack.

But he was very gassy and as his mothers called him Bubbsy Bear they consulted each other on the case of his toots. Here the two name were combined, Tooty Botty Bear.

SEPTEMBER'S RESULTS!

2. I will write thank you note the day that I receive the gift. No exceptions. And they will be handwritten notes on stationary.

The true reason coming on Tuesday...

See Tuesdays post...

TWO// SPAINISH CLASS FESTAS

ONE// MY BIRTHDAY IN EIGHT DAYS!!!!

Hump Day Happy

This Wedensday we have a Lilly Pulitzer Quote. Stay Happy!

Getting Orginized Part One

PART ONE// SCHEDULING 

Go out and get a big desk top calender, use Google Calender, and a planer. The Desk top calender is for Outfits, Work projects, Blog post, Menus, Workouts, Birthdays, Holidays, Days you went shopping and Appointments. The Planer is strictly for School/Work (which ever applies). And the Google calender is for anything that you need to have a reminder for. 

Soon in to using this you will love this I will. My Favourite features on this is Huge boxes and the notes section for more in depth notation. You must color code on here for different aspects of your life.

Any one with a Google account has access to Google Calender. I don't use this as much as it sounds like, but it is perfect for business and family calenders since you can share and allow others to see and edit the calender.

Any Planner works, but my favourite one is the Lilly Pulitzer Large Agenda. This is the perfect size to tote around for on the go. 

Goals Up To Date

Last week I failed. I was back in the horrid routine that I was in a month ago. So I am apologising to My Sister, Mommy, and Daddy. I haven't done any yoga! NONE. But I have been doing everything else, except last week. I am trying. And I love keeping track on here to give me more incentive.

Goals

The goals kinda fell to the wayside and I am working on fixing that. the yoga has not happend yet but that will happen soon. I was stalking on the posts and need to have a make up session. More to come!

Hope you have a great Monday,
Isabelle'

Hump Day Happy

I will get good grades.
I will go to a good college.
I will look good tomorrow.
I will do something that makes me happy. 

Tell your self things like this we you need a little bost! It really helps!

Happy hump day!

Goals Up Date

To help me stay on track I find my self listening to this song in my head:

This is a song called 'Everybody is Free to Wear Sunscrean.' This song was introduced to me at student councail camp last year, and I've loved it since. I found my self trying so hard to be nicer to my sister (who is the main person who gets the lash of my bad days), and putting things in ways that best discribe how I am feeling. I am also hoping that I can keep this up. I am working on the complaints, it is hard on the weekend when I am not seeing strangers. I stoped my self about five times today when I wanted to say some thing that wasn't in the present. And I am resisting the erge to beg my Mom and Dad for the Tory Burch shoes and dress I want for my birthday (October 5th)... But I am worried that when they read this they will know which ones I am talking about (hence no links or pictures). 

P.S. How are your goals going?

Friday Five

What I am was loving this week was:

1. Reese Witherspoon: 

My addiction has spiked recently and might effect me permanently... no it isn't that bad!

2. My Goals:

I am loving this I feel better already! I will have an update on them Monday. 

3. Having My Outfits All Planed:

This really is a stress reliever in the morning and it helps me feel put together all day. 

4. Pleasantville

My sister and I watched this movie and it is so good! There is no comparison to a good movie, with Reese Witherspoon, and a allusion to civil rights. Watch the trailer:

5.  Totty Bear

Yes this is what we call our eight month old Jack Russel (his nickname is a long story for another time), His real name is Jack. Okay we arn't that uncreative, we over the span of about 25 years my pearnts have had nine, and Jack was my sister's and I's first one that wasn't a family dog, or my Mom's or Dads, He is ours. So my Mom thought we should name him Jack (this was before we got him) and we didn't think of it as Jack the Jack Russel for about a week (slow moment!). So he is my Totty Booty Bubby Bear (His full nickname)!

OOTD: Reese Witherspoon Inspired Look

I have a obsession with Reese Witherspoon, I love her. So when I was Pinterest creeping last night I found this picture:

My Hair is this length and I LOVE IT (but it is her so I love anything...)! To recreate:

1. Blow dry your hair upside down.

2. Tease all your  hair to the desired amount of height, remember that it will relax.

3. Take a 1 1/4- 2 inch curling iron and curl pieces back away from your face, if your hair is thick then divide it vertically; complete the bottom and then the top. From the blow dry your hair should have a little texture so don't worry about the bottom to much.

4. Lightly mist with hair spray.

This is my outfit insperation for today: 

I am wearing a slate blue button down, like Reese, my red jeans since I don't have a red skirt I want this one from J. Crew and my pearls (and watch but I wear it every day). 

Have a great day!

My Clothes Inspiration

Last week one of my friends gave me a complaimlament that really made me proud of my self, she told me "You never 'bum' it, you always look so put together." I do try to look good every day, and that has it's costs. But as I later learn that some people don't know how to find the push to care about what they wear each day. Here are some of what helps me stay on top of my looks:

Finaly My Two Favourites:

Hump Day Happy

If I wrote this quote all I would add would be "Happiness never decreases by being shared, one grows."

Happy Hump Day!

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY MOM AND DAD

 Today TWENTY YEARS AGO My Mom and Dad got marryed, after only dating for TWO MONTHS!!!! I am so Happy to be their daughter and happy for them!

Where is the Joy and Kindness

I have a confession to make: I am not as nice as I should be and that really bugs me. Now go back to when I was two.

There? Okay I LOVED Babar the Elephant. In one part of the movie (the first one and the only one I have seen) which you can buy here. They sing a song with the lyrics: Joy! Joy! Joy! Getting the job done....Watch It here

An good question for anyone if you have any idea for the answer let me know: Why aren't we as kind as we should be. As I wrote in my Ten for September that I want to be a beter person.  So when ever I am having an issue with that I am going to think of this.

Ten For September

Every month I will put up a list of what I want to accomplish for that month, and keep my progress here! This is September's List:

1. Be gracious~ accept, use, and work with what you have, others have less.

2. Live in the present~ I find myself saying when I....  too much and I want to stop.

3. Study every day~ I don't need it now but I probably will in future years, and it is a great habit.

Ouchy

Sorry for not posting the past couple of days. As you know I started High School so I am getting used to the harder work load.

Every Monday I go to Lacrosse Clinics. And this Monday I got hit with a lacrosse ball in the back, twice. Now I can't bend over or have any one touch my back without being in pain. So typing is hard, I will be out of commission, sorry!

(I forgot to hit publish, it has now been a week and a half of wondering what happened...)

Back to School Rush No. 6

Insert wear for every do.

That is the song I find my self singing along with Fashion Shower, when I am picking out my outfits. 

Today is my first Day and this is my outfit for this exciting day! I am also going to show you how to dress up a neutral outfit with colour

I got this white peter pan collar shirt from F21 (in stores only) and the skirt from Old Navy. This is really neutral and plan, BORING.

So add a colored cardigan, since some teachers may not like the shoulder line of this shirt, or it could be cold in the classroom. This one is from F21 (old you can't get it any more).

Add cute earrings.

 
And flats

The key to this is picking one color and sticking to it, but not too much color!
