The Sunshine Journals

Hey lovies! I made a list of things that I want to improve on and I thought that I'd share it with you! I want you to get inspired by these goals and remember that goals are self-improvement and motivation. Especially in quarantine feeling motivated and inspired is important to hold onto.  Some of these are long term and some of these are short term. They all vary but bring me clarity of what I want to do with myself and focus on.  1. Start a super successful business of my own- kinda vague ik but I do want to be a business owner of some kind 2. Get better at yoga- the app Yoga has really helped me I love it so much it is simple to use 3. Get more flexible 4. Go to bed earlier- my sleep schedule is like 12- 7:30 and then on weekends 12-11 hahahahhah 5. Stop snacking- eating, when you are hungry, is good, but just snacking when you really need a full meal isn't 6. Read more  7. Go on more walks 8. Stop binging Netflix and youtube- find better ways to relax 9. Drink a ton m...

Hey girlieeee! SO lately I have been missing my friends so much but COVID 19 is still a very real thing and should be taken seriously. This makes it hard to hang out with them because, well, there isn't much to do and all my mom's ideas are just to talk on their porch.. So I decided to make a teen and parent-approved hang out idealist. For me, safe is outdoors and without touching anything. Let's get started! 1. Outdoor movie- I did this with my whole friend group and it was super easy. We used a projector for the movie, bought candy, and I put the candy in cute little separate bags. They all brought their own blankets and things.  2. Picnics- You just bring a blanket and some food and drinks and find a sunny day to picnic at a park or something 3. Shopping sprees- Yes, that is indoors, but everyone is wearing a mask and sanitizing everything. My favorite place for this is Target. 4. Netflix Party- It's a Chrome extension where everyone can watch a Netflix show together...

Hi! What's up y'all? Today I will be sharing my top books. As a dyslexic who just HATES reading, I have found a couple gems in the rough that I have absolutely loved and 10000000% recommend. Like seriously, your girl loves these which is SO RARE. Let's get onto the list!! Every Soul A Star Okey, I got sucked into the book for days. I zoomed through it and I'm telling y'all IM NOT THAT KIND OF PERSON but for some reason I just loved it.  It is the story of 3 different people that all end up in the same place. They are all modern and have such different points of view. One is an aspiring model, one is a pudgy, insecure, socially challenged boy, and one is a girl that lives in the middle of nowhere that is pretty much away from the rest of the world socially, physically, and mentally. They all meet and in one way or another find each other and each grows themselves and learns so much when presented with their polar opposites. A great book that is super modern and perfe...

Hi! So, I kinda hate writing introduction posts to myself, but I thought that a Q&A would be a more unconventional and fun way to basically, tell y'all a little bit about me!! I posted a question on my Pinterest (haha parents won't let me have any other socials to ask on) on some Q&A questions they had for me, so I'll use some of those and also just other ones I want to include.. SO let's gooo Don't judge me cuz these are kinda basic white girl questions: Q- What star sign are you? A- I am a Leo and legit everyone says that I am like exactly like the description of a Leo which I mean I guess that's accurate haha Q- Where are you from? A- I am from Portland Oregon (where To All The Boys was based in #team peter) Q-What's your f avorite color? A- Okay, I know this isn't an exact color but I'm really into all pastel colors especially pastel blue, green, and purple. Q- H ow many siblings do you have? A- I have 3 siblings; 1 sister and 2 brothers....

Hiii what's up?? Today I'll be going over my nighttime routine including skincare, stretching, food, vitamins, the all of it. SOOO let's get into it! First around 9-10 PM I start my absolute favorite trashy reality tv show Married At First Sight  with my mom. Just btw season 10 is the season I'm on right now and it is so freaking GOOD! Anyway, then I make my tea with English Breakfast Tea and almond milk. I absolutely love tea. Like it's high key an addiction.  Then I get out a yoga mat and do my foot strengthing exercises and stretches. The set up is on your back with legs bent. So, first I do 8 ankle circles out on the right foot then 8 ankle circles in on the right. Then 4 out, then 4 in, 2 out, 2 in, 1 out, 1 in, 1 out, 1 in. Then the same thing on the left. This really opens up my ankles and gets them warm. Even if you aren't a dancer or do ballet this is a great thing to do. Next, straighten your right leg first and flex the foot and carry it an inch off ...

 So, I just saw a really good YouTube video about this woman who drinks 1 gallon of water for a week and it really inspired me. I've been reading about the benefits of drinking water for a while and everyone's like, "DRINK WATER" and I'm like "Ughhhhhhhhhhhhh mAYbE?!?!" But I want to accept the challenge!! My plan is to drink 1 gallon of water every day. I will be logging my day to day experiences on it and also give little tips I found helpful. For example, I don't really like flat old water, so I will be giving some suggestions on how to make the water more appetizing such as infusing the water (I will include those recipes) and using sparkling, or flavored water.  For some of you who don't know all of the advantages of drinking water, here are some: Clear Skin Much More Energy Fewer Headaches Stops Bloating (which is weird because usually, I feel bloated after drinking water. Especially before exercising and ballet soooo) Helps you lose weight...
