Ideas On What To Do Over Spring Break

Ideas On What To Do Over Spring Break

Hi guys! Today I'm going to talk about ideas on what you can do to make your spring break more exciting.

Sometimes spring break can get boring. All you feel like doing is laying around and watching tv while stuffing your face with food. It doesn't have to be boring though, you can do some pretty fun things. The first suggestion I have is do something crafty. So go to a Michael's or a Hobby Lobby and buy something you can work on. I went to Hobby Lobby and I bought some fabric to recover some of my throw pillows in. It's a good way to be productive while doing something fun.

The next thing is to do something active. I plan on biking, going on walks, and doing some yoga. Spring break is a good time to start being active and eating healthy because you don't have to worry about school getting in the way of it. It's a good time to figure out what kind of exercising you like. You can also try things like making smoothies for a meal or using more fresh foods.

My last idea is invite some friends over. Maybe you all could go somewhere like Six Flags or a beach. You could have fun at home to. You can do things like find fun challenges online or have makeovers. They can also help encourage you to work out and be more active.

That's all for ideas on what you can do over spring break. I hope you try at least one of these!

Hobbies Update

Hi guys! So on January 10th I wrote a blog about the hobbies that I wanted to try. They were soap making, candle making, diy’s, and YouTube. So far, I’ve tried soap making and YouTube. 

We bought supplies from Hobby Lobby for soap making. I had a lot of fun making soaps. Since then I’ve run out of soap base so the next time we’re there I’ll have to get more. I made a lot of soap and they turned out pretty cute and I had a lot of fun doing it. I liked mixing different colors and different scents. So far i’ve made about 10 soaps. 

For YouTube I haven’t actually posted anything yet but I’ve filmed a little with one of my friends. We plan on actually filming, editing, and posting something over spring break. Our channel name is A&KBeauty. We’re probably going to film a work out expectations vs reality video. I am really excited about starting a channel and I will probably do another whole blog on it once i set it up. Ashley and I have already made an email and an Instagram for our channel. We haven't posted anything on it yet but if you want to follow it for when we do post it’s a.kbeauty. 

I want to try candle making and diy’s but I haven't bought the supplies for it  yet. I have some really fun ideas that I think will be great. I might even film a diy video and put it on YouTube. Technically candle making and soap making are both diy’s so I could do a video on those too. I also want to try making bath bombs. I might start an easy shop with my mom and if I do I’ll blog about it.

So thats my hobbies update! I hope to start a couple of other things soon! I’m extremely excited for my YouTube channel.

Track & Field

Hi guys! Today I am going to write about track & field.

Track & field practice started on Monday after school. A couple of my friends convinced me to sign up for track. Last week I went to the meeting where you sign up for track & field and we bought all of our gear. On Monday I went down to the field locker rooms and we had a meeting. Then after the coaches finished talking to us we ran an 800 which is half a mile and then we started our warm ups and stretches. After that we sprinted four 100's and jogged two 200's. Track practice ends at 4 and field practice ends at 5 so after track I went to field. We practiced shot put and discus.

On Tuesday after track the pole vaulting coach pulled me to the side and asked me if I was interested in doing it. We talked about it a little and I have a choice between throwing for field, pole vaulting for field, or sprinting for track. I haven't had a chance to try pole vaulting yet but I think the coach will be there on Monday. For the rest of the week I ran and threw.

My legs were extremely sore for the first 4 days but since then I've adjusted pretty well. So far track & field has been really fun. I've met a lot of new people in track & field. I also love being outside as opposed to an indoor sport like volleyball in the fall.

I'm having a lot of fun in track & field and I'm glad I joined it.

Being Vegetarian

Being Vegetarian

Hi guys! Today I'm going to write about why I chose to be a vegetarian, how I'm doing it, and what research I'm going to do/I have done about it.

I chose to be a healthy vegetarian because I want to be healthy, live a longer life, and be in good shape. You can live like this and eat meat but I find that the way I was eating meat, covered in things like sauces and in larger portions wasn't that healthy. So being a healthy vegetarian, I won't eat meat or anything that comes out of a bag or box like chips and candy bars, at least not very often.

With being vegetarian I have to make sure I'm getting things like calcium, vitamin d, vitamin b12, and iron. Eventually I'm going to make the meals that I eat more fresh foods because the more you cook something the more nutrients you loose. On the nutrition facts I want the sugar content to be low and have little to no saturated fats just unsaturated ones. When you're a vegetarian you still want to get the correct amount of calories just in a healthy way.

The food that I think I'm going to have the most trouble giving up is bacon. I think I'll also miss chicken wings and fried chicken. I don't really think I'll have to much of a problem giving these things up though. I can still eat things like fish and crab.

Overall I think being a vegetarian is going to be challenging at times but I think that I will stick with it.
