let's just party

Saturday, March 28, 2015

Hello!! I am currently coughing up a lung from the last concert I went to (which I am going to talk about) and now I'm going to Halsey today so I'll probably won't have a voice tomorrow (I'll blog about that tomorrow ha ha ha).

I saw some friends play a show on Thursday night, which was filled with laughs and loads of fun. After the show we went out to eat with one of the bands, because they're our new friends!





I wore an over sized T-shirt from Men's Forever21, tights from Walgreens, and my Mizuno shoes (because my feet hurt).

To fix this average blog post go listen to Get At Me!!!!

love you all! I'm gonna go cough up a lung and take a shower.

the health edition

Tuesday, March 24, 2015

Hey you! Are you ready to feel super healthy? Are you ready to strengthen your immune system? Are you ready to sweat your booty off? Are you ready to get loads of natural vitamins?

Well, I hope you said yes to at least one of these questions because I am going to share with you the following: great workout apps to get you motivated, my go-to workout clothing for all occasions, the healthy things I try to keep around, and some very helpful tips.

The only reason I am doing this is because I felt really motivated today and I am starting to run again and I am super excited to share my journey with you all!


To start out, lets talk about the apps I use when working out! Also, they're all free!

  • Charity Miles: This app is my main motivation for running because it helps me see that I can help tons of people by working out. Charity Miles supports a bunch of charities including, Stand Up To Cancer, WWF, Girl Up, Nothing But Nets, and many more. If you don't like to run or you simply cannot run, they also have biking and walking options. 
  • Stop Breathe & Think: Stop Breathe & Think is great for relaxing after a workout or before bed. This app leads you through a meditation that helps you recognize certain things based on how you feel that specific day.
  • Grokker: Grokker is an app with loads of different workout videos that are completely free! (That's really all)


Next, I am going to share my go-to workout clothing.

This outfit is my typical training outfit. I would wear this if I were doing any sort of strength training, or if I were taking a class such as cycling or Zumba. I got this sports bra from Forever21, the shorts are from Kohl's in the juniors workout section, and my shoes are Mizuno, which I got fitted for at a local running store.

 This is my yoga outfit. It consists of Fila cropped yoga pants and a yoga shirt from Forever21.
This is my very favorite outfit, my running outfit. This is my typical running outfit for a warm/hot spring or summer day. I don't typically run outside in the winter because it's wicked cold and super snowy. This outfit consists of a sports bra from Nike, Fila wicking top and Fila running shorts, Balega running socks, a New Balance visor, and Mizuno running shoes. 


Moving on, now we will get into the healthy things I love to have with me. I absolutely love Yogi teas, right now I am detoxing with their Detox tea. This detox tea is super light on your body and contains no laxatives, so you can drink it on the go. I also love to always have chia seeds and hemp seeds to put on salads or eat with some peanut butter. One other thing I must have at all times is, garbanzo beans, or chickpeas. I adore roasted chickpeas and also hummus. I also make sure I have a can of chickpeas around or some dry ones to soak and use.

At this point you're probably wondering why I am making this post; it is a lot different than my other posts. I have found myself in a rut, I fall ill a lot and have very weak back and shoulder muscles. I have realized that working out and eating clean could help with a lot of health issues, so I have began to try to be healthy again. To do so, I have started to cleanse my body for the next two weeks with Fit Personality's 14 Day Clean Eating Challenge. Unfortunately due to the fact that I may have low iron, I have revised Katy's version and I am not cutting out red meat from my diet, but I will be eating leaner cuts. Also, to start my running journey, I have pledged to do a 5K Running Challenge that I found on Popsugar Fitness. I am hoping to run a 5K sometime this summer!

I really hope that I have inspired you to deal with your health, because it is not going to stop being a problem unless you do something about it. Also, don't forget to stay super positive when working out; a negative mind could cause you stress or unwanted injuries.

I love every one of you and I hope to see you back here on Thursday!

xoxo, Aubrey

sunday funday

Sunday, March 22, 2015

Hi! Okay my title is so lame, I apologize for being so cliche. I promise I am usually not cliche, what have I turned into? Anyways, this weekend has been nothing but eventful and next weekend will be even more eventful.

This weekend, I had my loud and crazy Sicilian family over for a pasta sauce making party. Being Sicilian is kind of weird because we don't like when people refer to us as "Italians", but when were told that we aren't Italian we get offended. Also Sicilian do not eat pasta all the time, so it was actually rare that we had pasta last night. Although it was a rare occasion, I still had loads of fun with my family. My friend also came over last night and we got froyo at 9 pm, typical.

Next weekend is going to be so much more exciting because I AM SEEING HALSEY!!!! I am so unbelievably excited you don't even know. My outfit is actually going to be so adorable, and I am going to have cute little gems on me and it is all going to be so wonderful. The concert is 6 days away and I've already got mini Polaroid, regular Polaroid, and disposable camera all ready for the show! I cannot wait, feeling excited is an understatement.







I am wearing joggers from Forever21, an embroidered shirt from my little shop, Louring Calm and a wishbone tattoo from Bambi&Fawn.

I'll try to be back on Tuesday, hopefully it will be warm enough to wear something other than long sleeves and jeans!

xoxo, Aubrey

glorious spring

Wednesday, March 18, 2015

Hello!! It's only Wednesday? This week is taking forever! I mean I enjoy Wednesdays because I get to read with an elementary student. Today, she told me that she loves Wednesdays because she gets to see me; my heart literally melted. I also cut my hair yesterday, a little bit above my shoulders and I absolutely love it! I've been wanting to cut my hair short again, the last time it was short was 7th grade which was 4ish years ago, also I've been needing a change. If you are thinking about changing up your hair, you should totally do it! Change is good, and you will feel so confident when you do what you want.







Oh man, I worked on my How To paper for my Composition class outside today and it was very unsuccessful. I kept getting distracted by nature and the wind. 

Today I wore a long sleeve top from Brandy Melville, Silver Joga jeans, a tan peacoat from L.L. Bean and green Toms Bootas.

Hi! It's finally warm (warm as in 65 degrees). Once I got home from school, I dragged out my longboard and my camera and hit the road. Once on my street, I turned up my music and just went for a little ride.




Oh yeah forgot to mention, even though it is 65 degrees out, there is still snow on the ground and it is super duper windy. Gotta love Michigan! 

Today I wore a plain white tee from Forever21, grey and black joggers from Forever21, a thrifted Levi's jean jacket, and white Converse. 

I'm very tired and my throat is scratchy, so I'm going to go make some tea and watch some Friends. 
Have a super fantastic Monday!

local music

Saturday, March 14, 2015

Hello to all of you whether you are from the United States, or the United Kingdom (You guys are seriously so cool, how did you even find my blog?), Sweden (You rock too!), France (Same goes for you) and Ireland (I love you too)!! I'm currently writing this at 10:30 in the morning, and I am quite tired. I honestly don't even know why I am awake, but I can't fall back asleep so here I am.

Last night I went to a EP release concert for a band I hold near to my heart, I started listening to them almost 3 years ago and now we are friends so that is super awesome!





Okay so, Shapes and Colors is the band I saw last night for their EP release. They are such down to earth guys, some of the nicest people I have ever met! They have such amazing attitudes and personalities; they also have super fantastic musical abilities.

They actually just left for their first tour! They put on such an awesome show, wherever they go! If they are coming to your state you should surely go and see one of their shows (I'll put the information below). They're also going on tour with a GetAtMe, who are a band from St. Louis, Missouri. They seem super nice and friendly; I only met them once. I will be sure to leave all of these two bands information below, in case you want to check them out (you should want to check them out!)

Shapes & Colors

GetAtMe



So that is it for today! I will be sure to post something tomorrow! I love all of you for viewing my blog, and letting me be a dreamer! Keep being cool and be sure to talk to me on some sort of social media. (links are all by my profile picture) 

Have a great day and listening to some good music!

xoxo, Aubrey

like a rolling stone

Hey! How is everyone? I hope you're all fantastic! I'm doing good, I'm so happy that it's getting warmer and that the snow is melting. I'm also happy because I got my hair cut a tad bit today, it was getting shaggy. I also didn't have much homework today, so I got to enjoy the lovely weather. And then it got darker outside and I started to get tired and made myself some sleepy time tea. :)






I just love Himalayan sea salt, it;s great for purifying the air, using in the bath, or even using in your food. I also love my Wonder Woman mug that I got from Francesca's. I adore the novel I just added to my collection; Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov, such a fabulous book.

Now I think I am going to finish my sleepytime tea and go to bed at 8:30 pm because I am wicked sleepy. So good night or good morning, depending on when you read this. 

xoxo, Aubrey
