Lately

Just recently I have started a new way to go about my days. In the morning, when I first wake up, I usually tend to make a cup of green tea, and waiting for that to boil and cool, I grab a giant glass of water and depending on how I feel, I either sip or chug it. If it's sunny outside, I go out on the deck and drink my cup of green tea while taking in the heat that NL rarely sees. After my cup of tea, I turn on Netflix (if I don't have work) and watch about an hour or two of a TV show while on my computer, strolling through Tumblr or talking to Mister C if he is awake. If I have to work later on that day, I normally get ready as early as I can and feel like and then relax for a bit before having to go. If I don't have work, I do a mix of things. I sometimes stay out on the patio like I did in the morning, sipping on many green teas or lemonade. Other times, I do short sessions of yoga and stretching, depending on how I feel, I only do one or the either (usually if I'm sick). Lately I've been really focused on improving my posture, as it is awful and hurts my back. Ever since I've done things to help it, my back hasn't hurt nearly as much and I feel nicer, like I have added to something that should give me a bit of confidence. My evenings can go either way, depending on if I have work or not and if my parents have plans, if anyone is visiting (like now), and anything that could happen. Right now my aunt and uncle and two cousins are visiting from away and so the other night after work I went over to my other aunts house to have a BBQ supper and see them after such a long time. Tomorrow will be different too, because my father has caught some fish, and so my aunt and uncle and other family will be over for some food and drinks and I've decided to make a nice fruity punch to go along with it. Should be fun as it's supposed to be nice and sunny and warm!
Lately, both me and my mother, have really been into trying to stuff, especially homemade things, so below in one of the pictures are growing tomatoes! We have a small tomato plant out on our deck and we normally use them to put in our salads, but we decided last night or so that we would make a salsa dip with them, and can't wait to try it. I'll update you guys on that. We also made homemade tortilla chips for the dip. Let's hope they turn out well as well. As for the last photo, I'm really into trying new beauty products, whether they be homemade or not, and this one is definitely not, but it is perfect! I've only tried it twice now, last night and this morning, and whether it works for acne or not, I cannot say yet, but whether it does or doesn't, it does wonder for my complexion and it really moisturizes my face. Today though I noticed my zits weren't as noticeable either. Now, I shouldn't really test it out right now, as it's that time of the month soon and I tend to break out a small bit no matter what then, but so far they've only shrunk and no new ones have come out yet. I'll update you all on that product as well. I have another new product I tried today as well, also Aveeno (I love the brand, it does wonders for my skin normally). It's their bb cream tinted moisturizer in fair to light. So far, I adore it. I haven't been in the sun a whole lot today, as I've been busy at work and now it's fading, but so far I really like it. It's really light and nice and it doesn't feel like my skin is burning and I don't even notice that I have something on my face. It just still feels smooth and soft, with it covering some of the uneven parts of my face. So far this week is going by nicely and all the things I've tried (minus one mishap with my hair) have went swimmingly.

Summer!

It's been awhile since I've posted but here I am again, and sticking around I am! I've been having this really strong urge to make a post lately and get back into maintaining this blog correctly, as I should do, nearly daily. I know I don't have much of an interesting life but I will make it my duty to speak of all I can and take as many pictures as I can, because I feel I should be strongly dedicated to this blog! I will do all I can to focus more on you guys and making sure I keep this blog up to date and on the go! Summer has now made its way around which means I have a load of time to focus and write and take all the photos I desire. Summer is here and even if I must take supplementary exams (let's hope not), I will still try my hardest to keep up with this blog. So here it is, this me, Abbie Hodder, saying that I will now try to focus all of my time onto this blog, I will post more, I will show more photos, and I will show you guys the love you deserve.
Now, my next post will be tomorrow, and I can promise you that I will make it, as I will be more devoted into making posts. As for now, I will sleep. Good night to all.
