Personally,

i really fail at updating lately . i've been so busy going to the fair, visiting family, and i just got my wisdom teeth out . its been a busy month, sorry guys ! i'll be trying to get on to update more .


a random image via we heart it♥ i adore that site, there are so many amazing pictures, i recommend checking it out .



Confession- i LOVE personality tests and i really enjoyed this one courtesy of kaelah @little chief honeybee . so check it out if you get the chance, its quite fun . and her blog is amazing ♥

my results;



Your view on yourself: Other people find you very interesting, but you are really hiding your true self. Your friends love you because you are a good listener. They'll probably still love you if you learn to be yourself with them.
The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for: You like serious, smart and determined people. You don't judge a book by its cover, so good-looking people aren't necessarily your style. This makes you an attractive person in many people's eyes.
Your readiness to commit to a relationship: You are ready to commit as soon as you meet the right person. And you believe you will pretty much know as soon as you might that person.
The seriousness of your love: You are very serious about relationships and aren't interested in wasting time with people you don't really like. If you meet the right person, you will fall deeply and beautifully in love.
Your views on education Education is very important in life. You want to study hard and learn as much as you can.
The right job for you: You have plenty of dream jobs but have little chance of doing any of them if you don't focus on something in particular. You need to choose something and go for it to be happy and achieve success.
How do you view success: You are afraid of failure and scared to have a go at the career you would like to have in case you don't succeed. Don't give up when you haven't yet even started! Be courageous.
What are you most afraid of: You are concerned about your image and the way others see you. This means that you try very hard to be accepted by other people. It's time for you to believe in who you are, not what you wear.
Who is your true self: You are mature, reasonable, honest and give good advice. People ask for your comments on all sorts of different issues. Sometimes you might find yourself in a dilemma when trapped with a problem, which your heart rather than your head needs to solve.



im not gonna lie, these results are almost exactly correct (:

Body Peace .

i vow to, . .


-Remember that the sun will still rise tomorrow even if i had one too many slices of pizza or an extra scoop of ice cream tonight .
-Never blame my body for the bad day im having .
-Stop joining in when my friends compare and trash their own bodies .
-Never allow a dirty look from someone else to influence how i feel about my appearance .
-Quit judging a person solely by how his or her body looks — even if it seems harmless — because i'd never want anyone to do that to me .
-Notice all the amazing things my body is doing for me every moment i walk, talk, think, breathe, . .
-Quiet that negative little voice in my head when it starts to say mean things about my body that i'd never tolerate anyone else saying about me .
-Remind myself that what you see isn't always what you get on TV and in ads — it takes a lot of airbrushing, dieting, money, and work to look like that .
-Remember that even the girl who i'd swap bodies with in a minute has something about her looks that she hates .
-Respect my body by feeding it well, working up a sweat when it needs it, and knowing when to give it a break .
-Realize that the mirror can reflect only what's on the surface of me, not who i am inside .
-Know that im already beautiful just the way i am .






That is the Body Peace Treaty that Seventeen magazine avidly supports to encourage girls to stop bashing their bodies, and be healthy with who they are . i cannot stress how important this is; its about health, and ultimately, about confidence in yourself . Trust me, i know that as easy as it sounds, how hard it is to have confidence in yourself, and your body . Everyone finds flaws in themselves and instead of focusing on all of the amazing features they have, they stress over those flaws . They could be weight, height, acne, shape, anything . i've always been really hard on myself about my body, its brutal,..and pointless . if im not happy with myself, how could anyone else be ? lately though, i've been thinking about how i need to stop my negative attitude about myself . its not easy, i know . and i've seen absolutely beautiful girls become insecure all because of someone else bashing their body . i wont lie- girls are horribly mean, and especially when they're teenagers, they're horribly insecure . everyone wants to be skinny, and "pretty", but how can you classify what beauty is, when everyone else sees it differently ? of course, appearances mean everything in society and media, so everyone begins to get the same narrow approach at beauty through television and magazines . but why do we have to conform to that idea ? im beginning to feel VERY strongly about this issue, and i think im going to start finding ways to make a difference in this, hopefully learning to love myself in the process . if you want to learn more, or to sign the Body Peace Treaty- click on the link at the beginning of the blog, or go here- http://www.seventeen.com/health/tips/body-peace-nplp-0508
