Do you have a Valentine?

Personally, i think Valentine's day is a pointless holiday. I mean how important is it if we don't even get off from school? Exactly, it's not important at all. Some individual thought it'd be nice to make a holiday where people express their love for one another. But the thing is, shouldn't that person love you all of the time? Now just one day out of the year? Shouldn't that person buy you things from time to time and not a whole bunch of chocolate for Valentine's day?

And now what about the single people, is this like some cruel holiday to remind us that we are single? because that's exactly what it does. For those of you that are single and don't have a Valentine, I am going to be your Valentine. If you send me a message to my e-mail (linamariax3@aim.com) telling me you're single on Valentine's Day, i will send you a heartfelt message on February 14. That way you don't have to be alone and you'll have some beautiful message to read. =)

BUT for those that do have a Valentine, and are going out and what not, or even if you don't and want to put some makeup on like my loser self does, here is a video for you!

I'm actually kind of upset that this video is getting so many dislikes. Is it because someone doesn't have a valentine, or is it because they don't like the makeup look. In my opinion, i think the makeup is beautiful. and i absolutely love it.

Chocolate hearts and lots of hugs,
xoxo Lina

Having a bad day?

Well i'm here to tell you that you can turn your bad day into an AMAZING day. How? All you have to do is SMILE! i know it's hard when everything is just so wrong but trust me, this will work. 

I smile all of the time, and it makes others happy too! It makes others want to be around you more because they see that you're just so happy and full of positive energy. But most importantly, just a smile will make YOU happy. You will feel happy, you will see that you look happy , and you will be happy.

Top 10 reasons to SMILE! 

1. It makes you attractive.
2. It changes your mood.
3. It is contagious.
4. It relieves stress.
5. It boosts your immune system.
6. It lowers your blood pressure.
7. It releases endorphins, natural pain killers and serotonin - natural antidepressant.
8. It lifts the face and makes you look younger.
9. It makes you seem successful.
10. It helps you stay positive.

Did you know it takes more muscle for you to frown than to smile?

Did you know a smile can make someone else smile too?

Did you know a smile will make you happy?

Did you know a smile is what makes you beautiful?

Now that you know all of this, you go out there, out into the world and smile! Let's see what wonders it will do for you!

Smiles and happy faces everywhere,

My puppy drives!

Well not really, but i'm sure he most certainly would love to learn how to drive! i'm not sure he'd be able to reach the gas pedal and watch what's going on, on the road. He might be a bit too tiny for that!

I was trying not to get myself in the picture, so it's why i didn't really smile. But at the same time, I was like "what if i am in the picture" haha so it's like a ugly half smile looking thing. 

I just thought i'd share this with you guys because i find it so adorable. I wish i got his paws on the wheel though. But oh well, i guess this will do. 

Now i'm off to read 150 pages worth of homework... the joys of being a college student.

The day of the neverending snowstorm!

My sister and I had a hair appointment at the hair salon on Jan. 27. Since the school semester started up again Jan. 28, we wanted to get everything done before school. So we had the appointment made like a month ahead of time because they were fully booked.

So it was the day of the snowstorm. My parents wouldn't let me drive because they said the streets were really bad, so our daddy drove us to the mall. This is what the streets looked like on the way there...

I didn't think it was too bad, until we drove further down and ended up getting STUCK in the snow. and had to PUSH the car out. My car doesn't have four wheel drive... it just has front wheel drive. I don't even know why we took my car instead of taking my moms which has four wheel drive. 

SO we got stuck in the snow. My sister and I had to push the car forward. We couldn't go froward or backwards without pushing it. But if we went backwards we'd end up on the main street again and get run over. haha not really because everyone was driving super slow. But still. had to push the car forward. Later my dad switched with me and had me go in the car and press the gas while he and my sister pushed. By turning the wheels a certain way we were able to go forward into someones driveway, and then i directed my dad out telling him when he could go while no cars were going on the mainstreet. He couldn't stop or we'd get stuck again so I had to run into my car while it was moving. It was actually kinda fun. !

We eventually reached the mall, only to find out the hair salon was CLOSED. No one bothered to call us, And the mall was also like empty. There was one person like a mile away!

We later went to Home Depot to pick out a paint color for the walls in the kitchen. My sister and I picked out a tropical coral. It's a pinkish orange and it's really bright. my dad said okay. AND when we got home, my mom hated it. She complains about the color every day now. But everyone else likes it so oh well. 

We also went to target because my dad had to return sometthing. And they wouldn't let him return it. They were very mean. 

Wal-mart was fun too ... except that i couldn't find justin bieber's nail collection by OPI. they were all sold out. and i just wanted to see the colors.

Hmm what else. Guess there's not much else. 

But here's a LESSON for the day.

DON'T GO OUT IN A SNOWSTORM WITHOUT A FOUR WHEEL DRIVE CAR! and if you do, well there's probably some other fun adventures to come!

piles of snow,

xoxo Lina

No more chapped lips!

It's winter season, so I know all of us are probably going to get chapped lips at some point. We can wear hats for our ears, gloves for our hands, but there's nothing we can wear on our lips to protect them from the cold and the wind. and as a result, we get ugly dry chapped lips. 

So to help you guys with that, and to make this easy on your wallet, and as natural as possible, I made a DIY lip scrub (exfoliator) video for you guys! ENJOY!

Soft, kissable lips,
xoxo Lina
