Yes, finally a fashion post! Taking photos seems to be very hard to cram into my schedule especially with this time change. But thankfully I was able to rush over to this cute little alley and take a few shots. I have been experimenting with head bands lately, and I am loving them. I've been trying to create some new styles with my hair, so its been so fun! Although I am strongly considering cutting my hair short and adding some darker high lights for the fall time! I am a little worried that I won't enjoy it and that later I will regret it, but hey, it can always grow back long again. And I always wear my hair down so I figured having shorter hair, might make it look healthier and just be easier to maintain. Plus change is always nice to have once in a while, and I believe I am ready for some. I have already set an appointment with my hair dresser, so lets wait and see if I actually fall through with it, and have the guts to cut some inches off. Any advice on what I should do?

On a side note, my title post name is from one of my favorite songs right now from Casey Abrams. Click here to listen to it! I am in love with his voice because its so unique and clear. I literally keep this song on repeat whenever I listen to him! Lately I have been into slower songs instead of your upbeat and loud ones ha-ha. Comment below and share who your favorite artist has been lately?!

7 tips for waking up early

I find myself having the hardest time getting up to go exercise simply because I want to sleep in. I don't like waking up early to go jogging, but yet in the afternoon here in So-Cal it is so hot you are literally sweating within the first 20min of working out. How crazy is that? So clearly waking up early seems to be my better option. So today I am going to share with you 7 tips for waking up early! I tried this the other day and it worked! Everything helped and it was so much easier to get up and go exercise. It's amazing how a few little things can help! If you try this, let me if this worked for you or what you did differently/added!

♥ Lay out your workout clothes you plan to exercise in the night before and set out your shoes and socks. That way when you wake up everything is right there ready to go. It just makes things easier in the morning to get ready!

♥ Place your phone or alarm clock far away so that you have to get up out of bed to turn it off. That way you have to get up, and have less reasons to go for a jog!

♥ When your alarm goes off do not press the "snooze" button. You will only regret it in the end, and it is a bad habit to get into!

♥ Make a play list of all the songs that motivate you to keep walking/exercising. What I love to do is make a play list of a bunch of songs that last up to a total of 45 minutes, and to not stop exercising until my play list is over.

♥ Before exercising, stretch and do some warm-ups to get you body moving and to wake up all your muscles.

♥ Drink plenty of water before and after exercising. I like to place a water bottle by my bed at night that way in the morning it will be right there and I'll remember to drink some.

♥ Remember to eat before and after working out. Your body keeps burning calories and fat after working out so it is important to eat after.

Here's a list of songs I love to workout to! 
Ready or Not // Britt Nicole
Light up the Sky // The After's
Hold Me // Jamie Grace + Toby Mac
Song for the Broken // Barlow Girls
This is the Stuff // Francesca Battistelli

proof of your love

Love is something everyone needs and everyone wants. Sometimes I find that it's very hard to have love and compassion for certain people. But I have realized that without love I am nothing and I am bankrupt. If I do things but have no love, why do it? It simply doesn't count if you have no love. As I was reading 1 Corinthians this particular verse stood out to me. Its 1 Corinthians 13:2 and it states "And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing." I am so thankful that God never changes, and that his love is everlasting. If it wasn't for God's love there would be no forgiveness, no relationship with Him! I want my life to reflect God's love. I want his love to shine through me and to be able to bless that love onto others. Here is a song that reminds me of why it is so important to have love for others. I hope it touches your heart the way it did to mine. I would love to hear your thoughts on love, as well as any songs that you listen to regarding love, just comment below!
