Hey people,
I am giving a shout out to rookie mag which is a great blog edited by Tavi Gevinson. Rookie was created when Tavi was about 12 and is just amazing having girls write form all over the world. Link; http://www.rookiemag.com/theme/trust-2/ You should really check it out! This months inspiration is all about trust and friendship, each month has a different subject. Each day they post 3 posts and they are all edited to perfection. I have gotten a few requests to make a how to feel better when sick post. I am not quite sure how well this will work but lets hope. First thing Not to do; Soup is actually a No-No. You can have a little soup but it won't make you get better. Soup will slow down your white blood cells causing you to recover slower. Also try to avoid any kind of gatorade. It doesn't help because of all of its sugars. Stick to tea for right now. Fruit actually is not the best idea because of the sugars. Fruit is normally great because of its natural sugars but if you are sick it might slow down the proses un like vegetables which will cause your white bloods cells to speed up, veggies also help fight off all those bad germs. Things to try; I know that people thought that vitamin c was good for you and then the thought it wasn't but actually anything with protein or vitamin minerals are great. So eating broccoli or having lemon tea is actually quite good for you. LOTS OF SLEEP, i know its hard sometimes to sleep when your tummy feels so active but sleep is the best remedies for a cold/the flue. Also water, water is very important cause it will clean out all of your bad germs. Water also prevents head aches. If you can stay in the sun for a little bit, i know that if you live up north its hard so maybe this is not something that will help you but if you live in the south you should stand outside for a a few minutes just to get a little fresh air. There is a great video that you should try that explains all the great effective remedies for sickness. Link; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bYXZP8eZKCw You should really check out AsapScience on youtube, they have so many great videos about science; Can you actually die of fear, EARLY BIRDS VS NIGHT OWLS, and what if humans disappeared?
So that is how to recover form sicknesses. I hope it helped sorry i am not a doctor. I will post art monday later today around 6:00-7:30. -Lulu Hello Everyone and happy women's day. I don't actually like the idea of women's day. I know most people think what is wrong with such a great holiday? Allot let me just tell you. For one it's saying that this is the day when women are celebrated and/or equal. Some boys in my old school always never got why there was no man's day. I then realized that any other day is man's day. The point of Woman's day is the woman are people for once. (I know many people think women are human but this holiday is basically saying that we have one day every year) Same thing goes for black history month, its saying that for one month black people a celebrated. Why not every month just like white people? Oh well these few holidays/celebrations don't appeal. OK sorry i had to rant about this a little bit and also sorry that i didn't post this is February. The Playlist For sleepy Mondays
Hello Everyone! As i promised i am going to show you ways to de stress. Right now i know that the winter is slow and boring and you just lay around like a potato. And i know that when your enjoying yourself while watching a shitty reality show and stuffing your face with goldfish you realize that you have work to do. And then you start to stress on all of the work and phone calls, and how you can't relax even though you have been a potato all winter. Well now it is time to relax and de stress and finally stop watching the shitty reality shows and start to enjoy yourself in a different and much better way. The bath effect and the Smell effectHaving a nice long soak in the tub is a way to de stress. I am not sure how but it just does. I used a bunch of bath bombs to make my bath pretty colors and making it glittery and smelling like heaven. Bubble baths are also a must. I got my two large bath bombs form lush http://www.lushusa.com/ and i got the small chocolate like bath bombs and the cupcake bath bomb from Smitten http://www.feelingsmitten.com/ I also had to add a few candles and incense sticks to make my bathroom smell like vanilla and violet. You can always pick smells that relax you. Vanilla and violet was just what i had at hand. SO taking a warm long bath and then stepping out of the bathroom to realize that the rest of the house smells unattractive compared to the calming smells in your bathroom is the best de stresser. Taking a momentSlowly click off your phone and take a deep breathe. Sit down on a meditation chai, yoga mat, and or rug. Breathe in through your nose and out through your mouth. Close your eyes. Also try and take a moment away from the computer/phone/papers. Make sure that the media and your work isn't distracting you. Turn it all off or put it away locked in your closet. I think that getting yourself as far from the thing stressing you is the most important thing. Distract yourselfNow find a book or a movie that you can enjoy. Treat yourself! Open up a new book or click the TV on to a movie. (NOT A SHITTY REALITY SHOW) Make a fort, and then sleep in it... who cares how old you are forts are still forts. Play a game with someone or just draw a little. Go for a walk or workout as long as you don't feel obligated. Try out a new hobby. Anything that makes you smile. Slowly Come back to the ProblemNow that you are hopefully relaxed slowly move yourself back to your work. Now that you are less stressed your work or test or the media that is stressing you now will feel easier. But remember take your time as long as you are not being a potato.
Ok so i hope that i have helped you enjoy yourself, de stress or find a new way to de stress. Soooo i will make hopefully a night time playlist to help you get motivated for that feared day. Next time- Lulu Yes yes yes i know. I haven't posted in like 2 days. Yes i promised to do an art project. I just also wanted to say that i will be in Mexico in a few weeks. Don't worry i will blog about my trip and take pictures but they might not go up until after. I am leaving in about 10 days and i will be gone for another 10 days. My next post Will be about how to de stress.
(Sneak peeks/ what will be in post)
- Lulu As you may know if you live in New England there is about 12 foot mounds of dirty snow every wear you walk. (More so in the city) and if you are like me and think spring well never get here you are... Totally right, a studies shows that spring may never come because of global freezing which is also happening along side with global warming. We might actually all have to move to southern parts of the world... Just kidding! Spring will come, in fact in just a few weeks. I know that seems so far but hopefully you can wait. And yes i do know that spring weather will probably come in mid April but at least we can start saying its spring. I think i have gotten so desperate that i have been searching nice weather on google images. Yes i am crazy for doing so and yes i do know it will just make that fact that spring will never come even harder. (Luckily i am going to Mexico in a few weeks.) But look around in some parts of Germany flowers are blooming, and in Florida its almost swim season, think about California or Texas where festivals are all ready starting for spring. India where they just had the Hali festival and could wear shorts into the open breeze. I promise you that New England we have its spring!!! maybe... Hopefully. I am not to optimistic at the moment. I will Show You a Gallery of Our Weather(Sorry about the screen on my window i was to lazy to go outside into the cold air.)
SO that is they weather i must go. I will post a craft later today bye -Lulu Yesterday i ran into a guy. He was so cool and delicious. His name was Broccoli Cheddar Soup or BCS for short. Just look at him! isn't he adorable. I know right. I decided i have to learn how to make him. This was a great experiment and i how you like it too... What you will need;
6 tablespoons of butter 1/4 of a tablespoon of nutmeg A fist full of cheddar As much broccoli as you want 1 chopped large carrot or a few chopped small carrots A little love pepper and salt 1/2 to 1 whole onion 1/4 cup of flour 3 cups vegetable broth or chicken broth 1 1/2 to 2 cups of half and half cream A blender A stove A pot wisk/wooden spoon 1/4 of a teaspoon of garlic (Un needed) In a large pot melt butter on medium heat. Add onions to the mix and wait until tender. Add the flour and nutmeg slowly and wisk well. Slowly add in Half and half cream while stirring. When creamy pour the broth into the pot while still mixing. Set to boil. Chop up carrots and broccoli while the pot boils. Add in the broccoli and carrots into the steaming soup. Wait for 20 minutes. Check every few minute and stir. After 20 minutes give the pot some love. Love is what makes food taste the best and that is a fact. Pour the soup into a blender. Blend well and then pour back into pot. Add a fist of cheese to the mixture along with salt, pepper (Garlic) and More love. Leave to cook for another 5-10 minutes. Pour into a bowl or into a tin, or put in the fridge, or leave on the stove. It is now under your hands so you can decide what to do next. Sorry this post came so late i had a little uploading problem. Goodnight- lulu Hello everyone! I am very sorry to say tHAT I AM HAVING UPLOADING PROBLEMS. :( Yes i know said. My computer is not contacting my camera when i plug it in so hopefully my art monday photos will be up by tomorrow. Very sorry and i hope that soon my problem will be fixed. I hope you all had a fine day.
-Goodnight- Lulu Yes... I know i haven't posted in a few days. But that is not the point. I am here to tell a camp story not make apologies.
I felt my mom squeeze my shoulder, i felt a shiver down my back. It was at least 95 F outside but i didn't feel warm(It is 7 F right now) I hated sleepovers or more i didn't like the sleeping part. I was only going for a one night sleepover but i still didn't feel comfortable. A yellow bus pulled up at the curb. My friend Livvy was thrilled and ran pulling my arm into the camp bus. I realized that i would be fine. (Completely wrong) We pulled away me waving to my mom who was about to walk off. I sat back in my ribbed leather seat, I can do this. The day zoomed by, i forgot about my chills and went on with my day... Finally it was time for bed. Everyone set up in the gymnastic cabin(More of a gym but looks like a cabin on the outside) The floor was hard and cold. I started to feel that queesy feeling you get when your scared. One of the counselors set up a movie; Heavyweights. I lost my chills and watched the movie with the 150 other kids in the room. It was alright but i didn't love it. The movie ended and all the lights went out. I felt my stomach go inside out. I started to sweat but i felt freezing. I had to tell someone. I stood up, searching for a counselor in the sea of blankets. Finally i spotted one. "I don't feel very good. Can i call my mom?" "No go back to bed." A counselor grumbled. I felt tears welling in my eye. "No i feel sick." I insisted. "Its to late they won't be up." She whispered. "I really son't feel good." A tear had rolled down my cheek luckily it was to dark to notice. "Fine." The teenager got up and we made our way over the kids. It was very hard to not step on then. I felt scared. I wanted to screen and just be home. A lump was forming in my throat. I was starting to really feel sick. When we got to the small kitchen she handed me some crackers. "These might help." At that time i then realized she wasn't going to call my mom. Nooooooooooooo!!!! I started to feel nauseous. No she can't do this no i won't have it. There were a few other counselors in there. It looked like some of them were gambling. Gambling? In front of kids, at camps? Oh well... "You should lay down i will let you sleep on the counselors mat. (A more comfortable mat for counselors only.) "Thank you." I gulped, i had to get home. After three hours of trying to sleep and hearing some counselors having sex and making out in the back round, i felt a weird feeling. I had to throw up, I was sick not just home sick. I stood up and started leaping over children. I felt like i couldn't go any further. I stopped and let it all out. I realized then that i had just puked on the ground next to my friends head! A little was even on his face! GOOOOOOODDDD!!!!! I cried to the heavens WHY?! I had to clean it up some how. I woke up one of the counselors and he helped me clean it up. I didn't have the nerve to be embarrassed because i felt to home sick. They. Still. Didn't. Let. Me. Go. HOME!!! I was sick! Why wouldn't the assholes just give up and call my mom? I couldn't sleep the rest of the night. I just tossed and turned till sun filled the room and the first few kids opened there eyes. To my horror i noticed some throw up was still on the floor. And then i heard a scream "Grows what is this? OMG Its so sticky." A Girl had stepped in it... I then started to feel my face get hot. Oh no! "I bet Isaac did it! I saw him get up!" She yelled. Hmmmm... Should i admit it? I decided at that moment no. (I really shouldn't have that was rude) I let Isaac take the fall. Later it turned out he had thrown up so i wasn't alone. I felt like everything would be alright. 2 years later... "Hey Lulu um remember that night at camp?" My friend, nameless for right now asked over dinner. "Um yeah why?" "Did you throw up on me?" "Maybe... Yeah" His older brother and mom started to laugh. "Yep i did." I chuckled. "I felt like i saw you at night standing by me." He said smiling." I wasn't embarrassed. I felt like a tiny pebble was lifted off of me. Its not like i had felt guilty but i didn't feel great for letting Isaac take the fall. I never went back to that camp... SO i hope you got something out of this story or not. Goodnight - Lulu |
