Hello everyone! So I know everyone's been up on their New Year's resolutions...right?? Time to go exercise like we said we would! In all seriousness, I have found working out to be one of my favorite hobbies lately and I really enjoy the feeling of strength and accomplishment right after every workout. If you guys didn't already know, I love doing yoga. Yoga has officially taken over my life. I have been doing yoga for almost two years now! Isn't that crazy?? I have improved so much on my skills and I generally feel a lot better about myself now. I do something so personal and, for myself, that I never thought I would come to love. I am planning on doing a total separate yoga post very soon as it gets nicer out and maybe I can show you guys some of my poses (or "asanas" in yogi talk). Enough about that for now, every girl needs sweet workout/active wear to look totally bad-ass while she's grinding out those burpees or last 10 chatarungas.
My absolute favorite piece has been this Nike Sweatshirt that I have been wearing like three times a week. I love wearing it when I run or even if I'm just doing errands or going to school. First of all, let's talk about the obvious...it's flippin rose-gold. Like how cute is that? It's so warm and doesn't soak up any sweat or smell. I am also loving funnel necks and high collars. I love the detail of the emblem and the hood also makes me look like a bad-ass Jedi ready to take on the world (if only).
I have also been loving one of my all-time favorite yoga brands, Lululemon. Their workout gear has been my go-to for everything yoga related. These pants specifically are one of my favorites. The fabric is a "Full-On Luon fabric is sweat-wicking and four-way stretch with added support and coverage" and there is also "added Lycra® fibre bends with you and stays in great shape". These yoga pants really do perform and I always feel safe when wearing these because they are such a great quality that there's no panty lines showing through and they have a cute little pocket for your keys and cards!
Nike is one of my top favorite brands as you guys can tell. I especially love their running shoes. I own three stinkin' pairs. I love them so much! These are my favorite shoes out of them all. These are called the Nike Zoom Fly 2 and they are one of the most comfortable shoes I have worn in my enitre life-time. I love the color too. This bright coral can be seen from like two miles down the road!
I also have an obsession with sports bras for some reason. I think that they're incredibly comfy and easy to maneuver in. I recently purchased this Adidas sports bra and it is truly awesome! It's medium support and there's a mesh racer-back for the ultimate ventilation! So great for any type of workout.
I recommend you guys check out these brands for the best workout gear! It comes down to what you truly feel comfortable in! Whatever works for you. Is there any other brands I should try?

Hello Ladies! I apologize for the late September favorites but, I thought you guys would enjoys this sometime or another. So, before I go on a short fall getaway this upcoming Columbus Day weekend and take a bunch of pictures for my blog, I thought it would be best to do this before I get into more of the fall stuff. So here are my September favorites and enjoy!
My absolute favorite pair of shoes this season has to be these Nike Zoom Fly 2 running shoes are amazingly comfortable and are so awesome for pretty much anything your doing whether you are running or just running around and doing errands, these are so stylish and probably the best running shoes I have worn. I would recommend these to everybody. I know that they are a bit more expensive but, if you're always active these are so worth it. Plus the coral color is to die for! I always get complimented on them.

Being someone in the middle of their highschool career, talk about the future—my future— is just a bit away. I have been through this with my older sister who is now going to be a junior in college and my turn will be before you know it.
Flying anxiety. The fear of flying. I am scared of being airborne.
Ever since I was really little I have had a fear of being trapped in an aluminum tube that is shot into mid air and I have had to tolerate the terrifying ups and downs of turbulence.
Thoughts that go through my head:
1) I am going to crash and die
2) Who on the flight looks like a potential terrorist
3) Where are the exits
4) I am okay
5) I am not okay
6) If I die, who is going to remember me?
7) I'll be on the news...
8) I can't say goodbye to my family
9) What about the people I left at home... and much much more...
Now don't get me wrong, I love travel. I love the feeling of being in a new place with new people and new sites to see. When I'm older hopefully I get to travel around the whole world. Now why did we have to invent the airplane, well for one thing, I could be at my aunt's house in less than three hours by plane and I don't have to listen to my little sister blast Ariana Grande on a 14 hour car ride. Air travel is one of the world's greatest privileges. I just hate it.
I hate going through security and having to feel guilty and scared like they're going to suspect I'm a terrorist (I'm not thanks). I hate taking off my belongings and trusting the airport with my things. I hate having to eat before I fly because my stomach is already twisting in knots before we reach the terminal. I hate waiting to board the airplane, it's like waiting for my death call. I hate entering the plane and and everybody staring at me like I am a criminal. I hate having to decide where to sit. Window seat or aisle seat. Never the middle. I hate the sounds on an airplane. The blasting air conditioner and beeps and revs of the engine. I hate driving to the runway. I hate lift off. I hate the whole ride.
I love landing. Land. Sweet land.
Now how did I cope with flying to experience all of that? Well when I was little I had many stuffed animals and my parents with me to keep me moving and distracted. I even had Mr. Sketch markers and would bring them in my little barbie backpack so I could smell them whenever, wherever. Yeah it was probably promoting hallucinogens and wasn't good for my health every time I got nervous but, damn was it a great placebo effect. (Now c'mon people I wasn't addicted to smelling markers. Hasn't every kid done something like that?). As of today, I have my phone, music, books, homework (lots of it), and my journal.
> keeping myself distracted
> keeping myself comfortable
> keeping myself from having to go pee
Are all the things I try to focus on and do while I'm traveling. Flying is just something all humans are going to have to do at some point. I just need to learn to overcome this fear of flying because the chance of actually crashing on a plane are 1 in a million. I always focus on the destination. What I am going to do and who I am going to see.
Flying will be okay. I am okay and everything will be fine.
Xoxo Nat
