How To Stick To Your New Years Resolutions!

How to Stick to New Years Resolutions
Every year, I set myself with New Years resolutions to complete/obtain throughout the year. However, things are easier said than done especially when we have no control over it. Last year I set myself a goal of winning a medal in a sports competition in school (keep in mind, I have gotten one before, but it was plastic). Of course, being the shy-ish person I am, I didn't participate in any sport events in and out of school. In fact, I stayed home when there were sport carnivals going on for the whole day because I thought it was a waste of the day. Now, someone please tell me how on earth was I supposed to obtain and win that gold medal if I ran away from every opportunity possible. This is what I'm going to talk about today. How to achieve your New Years goals!
This year, my New Years resolution was to do more exercise outside of school. Well, in all fairness it wasn't more exercise, it was to start  doing it on my own rather than in my school's Physical Education class. At first, I didn't really know what to do. I planned to run every weekend at 6am in the morning and at 6am on holidays too, but that only lasted about a day. A few weeks later, my mother mentioned a Teens Fitness class in my local recreation centre. My first reaction was 'Nope, not doing that with a bunch of strangers.' But then I realised, not many people would be interested in a fitness class and would actually join a sport team/group. I then thought about asking one of my friends to join, and sure enough she said yes! We started two Tuesdays ago and boy, it was tiring! There only ended up being about 6 other people excluding my friend and I. We didn't really talk to anyone because we were all busy with the machinery but it was really fun. By joining a club, you are forced to go (especially if you have to pay for it) and accomplish your goals! So next time you have the opportunity to join a club, just do it!

What's For Breakfast?

Breakfast has always been my favourite meal of the day. Partially because I get to eat cereal and also because it makes me feel awake and ready for the day. If I'm in a rush, I'd usually eat some flavoured yogurt (I typically go for mango or strawberry flavoured yogurt!). However, when I'm on school break, I love to eat cereal and granola! This filling breakfast is energy packed and very substantial! 
1 - My Favourite bowl to eat cereal in. Purchased from Target.
2 - Weetbix is a very popular choice for breakfast here in Australia! I buy the high-bran box so I can pack as much nutrients into my body as possible. I usually go for 2 'blocks' a day. Keep in mind that Weetbix is very bland on its own and also very filling!
3 - Since Weetbix is bland, I love topping it with granola. The granola I've been using is the Jordan's granola with dried Blueberries and Cranberries. This adds a crunch and a pop of flavour to your cereal.
4 - I personally prefer cereal with milk rather than without it. I usually just use low fat milk and it's perfect with this combo.





I hope you enjoyed reading about what I typically eat for breakfast. Let me know what you eat in the comments below, I'd love to here from you!

Seeing Tanya Burr On Live Television!

After a huge surprise announced by Tanya Burr herself on Twitter, I was so excited to see Tanya this morning on Live Television. 
Tanya was invited to speak on the daily show featured on channel 7, Sunrise, to talk about her success on YouTube and her book titled 'Love, Tanya' coming out on January 29th in bookstores. I was especially excited for her appearance because it's not something we see everyday on television. The whole famous YouTuber on live TV situation, and she was flown out from England to Australia!  Tanya has had quite a successful career from blogging to YouTube to launching her own lip glosses, nail polish and false eyelashes. With a book coming out just next week, there is nothing she hasn't yet conquered. Despite me being so excited about her guest appearance, I found that the apperance was rather short. It didn't focus on all her success and didn't talk about the book at all! Nonetheless, I still enjoyed seeing her on live TV in Australia. 

The show hosts, Sam and Nat, asked her a series of questions about future fashion trends, makeup favourites and tips, as well as her tips on how to be successful. Tanya was very calm whilst speaking and handled the exciting situation very proffessionally. 
Congratulations once again to Tanya Burr on her success in the Beauty Industry and preorder her book, 'Love, Tanya' online!

Herbal Essences None Of Your Frizzness Conditioner Review.

If you've got super frizzy hair you'd understand the struggle I face daily with my hair. It's always knotty and dry and just a big fluff ball! I purchased this product in the hopes that it would put an end to my frizzy, unmanageable hair. Let's look into what it claims to do and whether it actually worked.

Price: $6.28 (AUD) 
Size: 300mL
For: Dry/Frizzy/Damaged Hair
Packaging: Bright orange and green bottle. Traditional Herbal Essences packaging and product comes out easily.
Claims: All day frizz control, sumptuously soft conditioner and protection against humidity.
My thoughts: I love it! It has significantly reduced my frizz and leaves my hair much softer and smells amazing. The scent is alittle overpowering when you smell the product from the bottle but it's much more subtle when you actually use it in your hair. The scent is a lovely Mandarin scent with Pearl Extract which lingers all day. I've had the product for about 2 months and I've just finished it. Hmm, not bad! I must say though, this product hasn't totally eliminated frizz from my hair, but it's much better than before. I am definitely repurchasing it! 

Let me know in the comments what you thought of the product if you've tried it before.

Pretty Little Liars: Mona's Funeral - Best Dressed.


My all-time favourite show, Pretty Little Liars, has just returned after its long yearly break. Every year, it's a struggle to wait months without a new episode, and this year was no different. With the show returning for its second half of season 5 (aka 5B), I'm sure everyone including myself, was expecting a lot to happen this winter premiere. Of course, the cast and producers/writers killed it, literally. Sorry if your not caught up to date but, our beloved Mona is dead. This picture I have inserted shows the four liars just outside the church, where the tragic funeral of Mona Vanderwaal was taken place. All four dresses were chosen to fit and reflect each character's personality and style. Hana's (far left) style is very edgy so, the leather acid wash dress is perfect for her. Emily (middle left) is the sporty one out of the liars. The sleeveless dress reminds me of a basketball shirt as they are both sleeveless and form-fitted. Aria (middle right) in my opinion has a bizarre style. She opts for prints and mixes patterns and different textures to form an outfit. Even though I think her style is bizarre, it actually looks great! The ruffles on her dress that cross over her chest really demonstrate her love of mixing different textures together. Finally, Spencer (far right) is the more vintage, 'take me back to 1801' type of girl. She is naturally very smart and always dresses more casual than the others. Although, this is not the first time we have seen her sporting a plaid outfit, it still looks great on her! So. who is best dressed out of the four? It's a very tough decision, but I'll have to go with Emily. The fact that her dress is so simple, with just a hint of detailing at the bottom, is definitely what made it more appropriate for a funeral. The soon to be college students all looked wonderful though, nonetheless.
So, I've shared my opinion, I want to hear yours down below in the comments. What dress out of the four looked best?
P.S Picture belongs to show, not me.
