• S • UPDATE

Hey everyone so I have been so busy with competitions and school and life in general and I still am, believe me the roller coaster never stops, I only get slight breaks in between.

Moving on… I WON! I actually won, to be fair I thought one of the other opponents will win, it was a tough competition called Project Shopping. Basically we make outfits that fit the theme and maintain our creativity! I didn’t win a bunch of rounds but I won the ones that I thought were important and I won them at the right time! Week 6 was important because it was down to a few of us to make into the finale, and then for the finale it turns out one person didn’t put in their submission and I do not blame them because believe me, I was on the verge of quitting.

❄ S ❄ BTBR |OPEN RELATIONSHIPS? LIKE OR NAH?

344 copy

Before I start, I always have to have a disclaimer of sorts haha. This is my personal opinion on this and everyone is entitled to their own opinion and if you want to share your thoughts, feel free! I would love to read your opinions on this as well, especially if you disagree with me!

Well for those who are unaware, an open relationship is when two people agree that they want to be together, but cannot exactly promise that they will not test other waters, in other words see other people too. Basically they want to be able to have their cake and eat it too: they wan to have a significant other and the freedom to hook up with others.

MY OPINION

it’s common for people in high school or college to want to have an open relationship (however if I hear that my little brother in grade school knows what that is, I will lose my mind). Most of the time some high schoolers end up cheating on their girlfriend or boyfriend because they may not know what an open relationship is; thus, the drama.  Then in college most guys put everything on the table, they tell you they “don’t want anything serious” which is code for “this shit is totally an open relationship!”. It’s mostly the guys who made the declaration of this, the girls… not all that much unless they’re fully aware of their confidence in knowing what they want and I’ve done tons of BTBR’s on that subject haha.

However if my boyfriend was to request an open relationship, I would request a break up. This is my reasoning; it is a lot easier for me to see other people, than for me to waste my time so you an have your pick of the litter while I cook you food after “your long work hours”. That’s utter bullshit.

I can be jealous when it comes to my boyfriend, but not the crazy “I’ll kill her, you or myself” crazy, but the cute, loveable, joke-type crazy. If my boyfriend wants to have an open relationship, I simply will not be okay with it. I call you my boyfriend for a reason, that shit is solidified! There is no second! As of this time YOU ARE MINE and I AM YOURS and I’m super fine with that. 

If he wants to switch things around and see other people, tell me so that I don’t have to waste another minute in a relationship where I’m the only one trying to maintain contentment in it because I won’t let you waste your time on me if I had my sights set on another smart, faithful, amazing guy.

So let me know what your thoughts are on this? Are you for open relationships or are you completely monogamous? What’s your take?

❄ S ❄ BTBR | GET PHYSICAL WITH IT!

Hello my lovelies! It’s been a bit since I did a BTBR but since it’s the New Year and most people are all about getting healthy because if you haven’t heard, healthy is the new skinny, I think it is a brilliant thing but some people may not be doing it for the right reasons like my sister.

My sister thought being healthy was like a sentence to jail, she asked me to help coach her in the right direction, I thought it would be a good practice for patient education as a nurse so I agreed to it.

First thing first, healthy is NOT a sentence to life imprisonment. It is a journey, a mental and physical change which will take time, dedication and determination. It becomes less of a task if you are looking at it from a life time, lifestyle perspective. Once you understand this, it will make life for you so much easier!

Take me for example, I don’t exercise and I’m plus size. I eat healthy and I know the right size and amount a person like me (someone who does not work out) should eat to maintain my figure or lose weight. Could I work out? Most definitely but not now, I’m too busy. Haha. 

However, if you are not eating healthy at all and you know this to be true, I urge you to do your research, read books, go online, use google, ask questions online or talk to your doctor. Use the professionals that have been put in place to help you! I don’t believe in weight watchers, there is so much information out there that you can use to your benefit, the only problem is trimming the information to fit and meet your needs. However once that is done, it is still not a cakewalk because you still have to be determined to follow your new regimen.

This is not something that should consume your whole life, simply take baby steps. One at a time and have patience! Patience is so crutial! Rome was not built in a day, so do not expect your mentality, behaviour, and needs, to change in one day, NO! it will not work like that!

Maintaining a healthy body is important. So make a commitment to yourself and slowly and gradually research, make healthier choices in terms of your meals and portions and hopefully it helps you!

Sincerely

S
