iPhone Swag

Hey guys! Sorry I haven't posted for a little, these last few weeks have been very hectic since they're my last weeks of high school!! Ahhh! Haha so I've been busy "studying" for finals and just spending a lot of time with my friends and making it last.  I was actually at the park messing around with my friends when something awful happened. What was this awful thing??? I broke my phone!

B-A-N-A-N-A-S

Yes I am going to dedicate an entire blog post on a fruit. Why? Because I really enjoy eating bananas. Matter of fact I just ate one and the banana peel is laying next to me. Mmmm...yumm! I know bananas are good for you but I personally wanted to know more, such as what exactly do they do for you? Good question right? Yes! I'm sure many of you are just as unaware as I am about the health benefits so I went ahead and did some research and I'm going to tell you more about bananas. Sorry for the poor web cam quality photo!

Bananas are full of vitamins and minerals that provide natural and healthy energy. So instead of eating a chocolate bar or downing a cup of coffee, eat a banana! Eating two bananas will give you enough energy to workout for almost an hour and a half, oh my! They have a chemical called tryptophan that helps regulate your moods and keep you happy. GIRLS-bananas help you period pains!! Hungover? Eat a banana, it will calm your stomach. They prevent high blood pressure and help keep your eyesight as you get older. STRONG BONES!  I know some people like mushy bananas but I personally like buying them when they are still a little green, this is because I do not like soft fruit, but of course this is a personal preference.  Please don't eat too many bananas, my daddy did this once when he was a little boy and he still gets nauseous when he's around them!

MAC Foundation

Hey everyone! So the other day I was shopping at the mall with one of my best friend and we stopped by the MAC store...(makeup not Apple!).  I have never really purchased anything from them just because I think it's a little expensive and I want to be absolutely 100% sure it'll work for me before I get it and I usually just end up getting products from Sephora.  Well anyway, I was looking at their foundations and realized that they are cheaper than what I use. So it got me thinking, maybe I should try it? What do you guys think? I should probably go online and do some more research before I buy any but I really want to try it! Plus it's MAC...the make-up God!

Pinterest and Skinnytaste

Hey everyone so lately I have been obsessing over Pinterest. Well okay, who hasn't? If you don't know what Pinterest is its best to avoid it because you will become.......ADDICTED.....haha just kidding!

Basically what Pinterest is, is a website (duh!) with pictures that you can post and pin that you like.  There are different categories such as Hair and Beauty, Cars, Fitness, Travel, Architecture, Food, etc, etc, etc.  Well one day at school I was hungry and bored so I went ahead and logged on and went straight to the food category.  I was drooling and pinning recipes that I wanted to make and I came across one recipe that had a link to skinnytaste.com. Naturally I clicked on it because it had both skinny and taste in it, I mean who doesn't want to be skinny while eating tasteful food? Well what I didn't know was that this website is AMAZING! It has sooo many different recipes that range from breakfast to dinner to dessert to drinks to whatever you may think off! Best of all it has step by step pictures as well as instructions and ingredient lists and a place where others may comment and talk about the recipe.  I think I've written down 90% of those recipes into a I NEED TO TRY list. EVERONE needs to visit this website, It's incredible! I can't even put into words how nice it is and how in love I am with it!  Here's the direct link to it Skinnytaste.

I hope everyone has a great week and until next time!

Little About Me

The other day I was thinking hmmm...I should do some for of those TAG type blog posts.  It is where one person answers questions or something and then tags everyone else to do it and they do the same thing but differently....That isn't a good explanation but they have them all over Youtube and I did it with the iPod Shuffle Game. But anyway I was trying to find something and I found a quick one where you learn a little more about someone and I thought you all would enjoy it! In this one you answer the question by adding a photo from Google Images, so here it goes and I hope you enjoy it!

Whats Up? -March Update

Hey everyone! So sorry for not blogging lately. So this past month (March) has been crazy hectic. Here's what I've done. In the beginning of the month I had DECA, which is a business competition, basically like BPA but somewhat different. My partner and I placed 8th out of twenty something groups in district (back in January) and then for state we didn't place at all :( but that's okay cause nationals are the same weekend as prom and we wanted to go to prom rather than competing. However, nationals are going to be in Orlando, Florida!!!

Then I had a skin disease all of the month of March, its not deathly nor contagious, according to the doctor it some viral thing...pityriasis rosea. It SUCKED!!! I had to wear sweatshirts and turtle necks for like 2 weeks and then I went tanning and it got better!

For those who don't know my birthday was in March and it was a lot of fun, I turned 17 and well basically this past weekend I finally finished celebrating! The weekend of my birthday I spent the day with my family and I actually blogged about it and the weekend after that I went out to dinner with a bunch of my friends and then we came back to my house and had a dance party and then the weekend after that I had a sleepover with a few of my closest and bestest friends in the entire world...BUT...I got sick with strep! So the weekend of my sleepover I was pretty much dead, and the medicine the doctor gave me was horrible! I don't know if any of you have had strep but you honestly don't want it. You can't swallow and your uvula gets sooo swollen that it feels like you're suffocating-not a pleasant feeling. But I missed the following Monday and I went to school the rest of the week except Friday (March 31) because.....IT WAS THE FIRST DAY OF SPRING BREAK!!! Yayyy!!! Actually I went home early on Thursday because I had a test I didn't want to take so my parents let me skip...shhhh!!.

And right now I'm enjoying spring break from the comforts of my home town and so far it has been raining every single day except yesterday it was sunny and 70 degrees outside! The only bad thing is that all of my friends are in Florida and we couldn't go anywhere because I'm borderline failing physics.  If you guys can don't take that class! Everyone says its easy but I think something is wrong with me because I think it's the hardest class everrrrrr!

But that's basically everything that's happened with me during the month of March.

See you guys soon,
<3 AliP
