Cider donut candle review

If you know me you know that I have a crazy obsession with Bath and Body works candles, especially in the fall time! Recently I was at Bath and body works and I picked up a few new candles! The one I'm obsessed with is "Cider donut" Let me just tell you this smells like everything wonderful in a candle! I'm pretty sure they sold this candle last fall, but I didn't really pay attention to it since all I cared about was the Leaves and Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin candle, But now I have truly met my candle boyfriend! This candle is so perfect for me, since I gravitate more toward sweeter candles. This candle smells AMAZING, but since I stink at describing scents I will tell you the description. "Indulge in the fragrance of a beloved baked treat with a blend of freshly picked apples, cake donut and a hint of cinnamon." So if you love sweet scented candles like me, you should definitely check this out next time you're in Bath and Body Works!

Favorite Workouts!

I'm super excited for today's post! I love working out, its a way for me to relieve stress and frustration and feel really good inside and out. I'm getting chills talking about it! I know working out can be kind of a drag sometimes but if you change up your usual workout it gets you more motivated to take a visit to the gym. So today I'm going to share with you some at home and gym workouts that I love! Btw I don't workout to lose weight, I workout to lead a healthy lifestyle and build healthy muscles.
                                     I love this workout it gets your heart rate going and it boosts your metabolism

This next workout is from Nikki Phillipi! I love this girl she has really motivated me to eat healthy and stay active! She has a bunch more videos talking about eating healthy and getting fit so check her out!

  The muscle that I like to tone the most is my core! So that's why most of these workouts will focus on getting you that flat stomach you have always dreamed of!

This workout is from tone it up which is a great site to get healthy motivation from, also there is a tone it up nutrition plan which is super great if you have an extra 150 dollars laying around.Lol! But seriously if you really are for cereal about getting healthy it really is awesome!

I love this workout, when I can't make it to the gym this is the first at home workout I do.

My last workout is from Bree Bond who is a personal trainer in California.

Bree Bond workout!
Home circuit:

Motivational Monday #2



For today's Motivation Monday I didn't really know what I should do, so I went to the trusty Pinterest! I pinned a few of my favorite quotes and the quote that got the most repins is the one Im going to share with you guys today! "Big things often have small beginnings". This quote is very inspirational, since I recently started my blog this has helped me a lot on those days were it seems like no one is reading my posts, and the thought of just giving up crosses my mind. Well not today you won't stop blogging because big things often have small beginnings! For example one of my favorite bloggers in the entire world "Sprinkle of glitter" didn't get one comment on any of her posts for almost a year and now she has thousands of followers! So never give up!



Have a fabulous day! xoxo

Fall must haves


For today's post, I'm going to show you my fall must haves! Can I hear a whoop whoop for fall! I'm literally so excited! First off, I couldn't make a fall post without a Starbucks drink, so here  is my favorite drink for fall. The Pumpkin Spice Frappuccino! I don't know about you, but it's still pretty hot where I live, so this drink is perfect,  because it still has that fall taste, but it's a cold drink! 
  
My next must have is a plum colored lipstick.  I love this one from Tarte. It's the perfect everyday fall lip color! It's the 12hour Amazonian lipstick in the shade "Inspired." These are my favorite lipsticks.  They are super-creamy and very pigmented. Totally worth the money!
Now for fall scents, a girl's got to smell nice and yummy just like autumn! I'm in love with the Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin scent from Bath and Body Works.  I suck at describing scents, but let me just tell you it smells so darn good! For perfumes,  I love the Taylor Swift perfume in Enchanted Wonderstruck. It smells like vanilla and deliciousness!
My favorite candle for fall is in the scent "Pumpkin Cupcake" from Bath&Body Works and the candle smells just like a pumpkin cupcake! If you have ever smelled frosted cupcake from Bath&Body Works, this candle is like the fall version of that!
My last must have is big and comfy sweaters! Sweaters are definitely an essential for this season, I mean its "sweater weather" duh!
So you can probably tell I like sweaters. These are just some of my favorite sweaters for fall! I usually get my sweaters from Target or Forever 21!

I hope you liked seeing my fall must haves! Have a great fall!
stay gorgeous!

Yummy and Healthy Smoothie ideas


Today’s post is going to be my fast & healthy breakfast/smoothie ideas!
First off is the banana almond smoothie, this smoothie is super delicious and easy to make! All you need is two tablespoons of almond butter, about a cup of almond milk or normal milk if you don’t have any almond milk, a banana and a few ice cubes. It’s as simple as that and its super yummy!




Next smoothie is a little twist on the other recipe I just showed you but it’s a chocolate banana smoothie! This smoothie is just as good but it’s great for that chocolate craving we all get every now and then! What you will need for this is about a cup of chocolate almond milk, about a tablespoon of oats, a cut up banana, some ice cubes and a tablespoon of almond butter, which is optional but almond butter is like my favorite thing so I had to add it in this smoothie!
yummy.....

Fall nail polish

Today's blog post will be my favorite fall nail polishes! I know its not exactly fall yet, but since fall and nail polish are two of my favorite things I couldn't wait to do this any longer! First off is "wild moss" which is an army green type color, which may sound like it would look really gross on your nails but it totally doesn't, its perfect for fall and the Revlon color stay formula is my favorite! Next is Monsieur by Revlon which is a gray with a taupe undertone, but it looks more taupe then grey in the bottle. Penny talk is a gorgeous metallic gold-ish copper which is stunning on the nails! Now for my all time favorite nail color for fall "Bahama mama" which is basically fall in a nail polish its a gorgeous red wine color which is perfect for the season! Then there is "Pilate's hottie" which is a more toned down neutral color for fall its hard to explain but its kind of like a dirty looking lilac.

Thanks so much for reading my post!
