Healthy Snacks

So it's summer time, which for me means time to get healthy. I been exercising and looking up great meals and snacks. I will probably be doing more posts including fun ways to exercise, great healty meals, and exercise clothes and equpiment. So I'm goping to start off with fun ways to make fruit even better. Now the first way you've probably already seen, it is fruit popsicles, I saw Macbarbie07 make some and I also saw a make your own popsicles in seventeen magazine. So her's macbarbie07's video (Bethany):

1. Fruit Popsicles:
Yum! I love fruit and I think this just makes it better, I mean it ht outside and why eat sugar loaded ones. Now the next way is also obvious, and it is to make a fruit parfait. You could eat this for breakfast actually to get your metabolism started, or you could eat it as a mid-day snack.

2. Fruit Parfait:
Add yogurt to the bottom of a cup or bowl, then add fruit, you could use berries, cut up strawberrys, or really ny kind you like, then add some more yougurt on top. You could also add some gronala to the top.



okay so how about veggies, they aren't as sweet and not as appealing, but don't get em wrong, I still love them. Now what you could do is dip them in any low fat or non-fat dip. You could also make a salad, or make a smoothie.

 3. Smoothies

Here is a recipie you may want to try, remember everyone has different taste, so you may not like it.
  • 1 cup apple juice
  • 1 cup of sliced apple (sweet tasting apples are better)
  • 1/4 cup applesauce
  • 1/2 cup sliced carrots
  • 1/2 cup of cucumber (peeled and sliced)
  • 2 cups of ice
  • a dash of nutmeg or cinnamon (optional)
okay so you think that recipie is disgusting.. the try a fruit smoothie instead.

  •  12 oz. Lowfat  Milk
  • 1 1/2 cups (to 2 cups) whole strawberries, frozen or fresh
  • 1 container (8 oz.) sugar-free strawberry yogurt
 basic right? You could always google more.

4. Popcorn

Popcorn is one of the easiest snacks. It can be really health if you do it right. Just buy plain popcorn. Don't add butter, but if you need a little flavor add some seasoning or a little bit of salt and pepper.
 
5. Chips?
If you are wanting chips, but don't want to have all that fat go into your body, just try baked or kettle cooked, they are much healthier and I think they taste better.
 
Do you have any favorite healthy snacks you want to share? Them leave them down below, I am open to suggestion and I would really them. And  leave any question down below. Also if you have a blog or youtube then leave a link or message them to me at autumnrosebuddy@gmail.com. Thankyou and bye.

Fathers Day

What are you doing for Fathers Day? I am going to make my dad breakfast, and a cake. I also bought him some cologne he said he used to wear when he was in the army,Calvin Klein Eternity. I only bought the 1fl oz. because it was the only size they had. It was $25. I am glad that I have a father to share this day with and if you do to then you could make him a card, or a make him breakfast. If your dad is not with you to celebrate, then you could celebrate with others like a friend or your mother, grandfather. This day is really special for me because I appreciate everything my father has done for me. So i just wanted to post this quick post because fathers day is on Sunday and I made a post for mothers day, and I really do appreciate how lucky I am to have a wonderful father. So have fun this Sunday and give your thanks.

Calvin Klein Eternity

I didn't want to open it, so this is what the bottle looks like:

NYC lipsticks?

So I've been trying to find some cheap lipsticks. Of course these came up. Their are 2 types that I got, The $1.99 ones, and the $0.99 ones. I got to of the $0.99, I got four of the $1.99 ones. I actually lost one(in fragile pink) and I gave one(in smooch) to my sister, because the color wasn't good with my skin tone. Now to start out these lipsticks are very shimmery, but they're a couple of matte ones. They brake easily, and smell weird, but to fix those two problems you could actually melt the lipsticks into pot form(they're are plenty of videos on youtube) and as for the smell just take a good smelling and tasting lip balm, I recommend all of the eos lip balms. (especially Lemon Drop beacause it has spf in it)

http://www.evolutionofsmooth.com/products_lip_sphere_spf.html

They last about an hour(not that long), but since they are so cheap you can apply more without feeling guilty of wasting product.

List of Colors (that I bought)
$1.99
Fragile Pink(lost)
NYC Ultra Last Lipwear Fragile Pink (2-Pack)
(it was a bright light pink, lots of shimmer)
Smooch(gave to sister)
NYC Ultra Last Lipstick Smooch
(picture is wrong, it is a very shimmery bright pink.)
Red Flame

(red with gold glitters, it is very shimmery)
Lilac Dream
NYC Ultra Last Lipstick Lilac Dream
(its a matte dark purplish pink color)

$0.99
Cafe

Couldn't find image of lipstick, but it is a shimmery brown nude color.

Petal

This color is a little darker than this, but it is really sheer and shimmery pink color.

I didn't take pictures for this post because I didn't want them to come out blurry like last time, next time I am going to be using a different camera, so they won't be blurry. If you have any question, suggestion, or blog leave them in the comments below.

Quick haul - dollar store, etc.

I went to the dollar store and i found some really cute things. This dollar store wasn't really a dollar store it just had discounted items even though it's called a dollar store. So I got a couple of nails things. The first thing i got was another L.A. Colors Nailpolish in Nectar, this is the second one I've ever gotten, the first one was copper. They are pretty good for being really cheap. I got the nectar one for only a dollar, it is really cute and I really recommend it.

Nectar(sorry pictures are blurry)

 This is copper (again sorry for blurriness)

Next I got fake nails, now I am more of a nail polish girl, but I wanted to try these because they were only $2, i don't remember brand because I lost the label, but if you go to the dollar store you'll find some cheap nails. These did not come with glue, so i picked up a pack that came with 2 for only $1.75. They are KISS brand, and they are pretty good, but dry in like 5 seconds, so you have to go fast.

 Nail Glue
Nails- they came with alot extra just in case 1 didn't fit your nail. So basically they came with several sizes.




Sorry pictures are blurry again, but is just a french tip with random black lines, but it's not zebra print.

The next 2 things are more nail polishes, the first thing was $1 and it is the L.A. Colors Art Deco polish(which is for like making designs), and I've been wanting one of these for a while so I just got it in black. The next thing I didn't buy, my aunt gave it to me, she thought it was a regular purple polish, but it is the China Glaze Crackle polish in Fault line, so she gave it to me, and I was so excited to receive this.

 China Glaze crackle Polish in Fault Line

L.A, Colors Art Deco Polish in Black

Now on to makeup, I only got 1 makeup item. It is the L.A. Colors Baked Eyeshadows in BBE471 Praline, but on the website they call it galaxy, and has a completely different number, but the exact colors. weird right. The colors are amazing, and it was only a little over $2.


 The next 2 items I got are scented items. I got them both from Bath and Body Works, I only buy mini items(i don't know why)The first thing I got was a body splash in Cherry Blossom, I got this a while ago, but I wasn't sure if I put it in a post. At first it smelled like soap, but when i smelt it more, the better it smelled. It was $5 because it's the mini one, then I got another Sweet Pea Body lotion because I ran out of my old one. And this was also $5 because I got the mini one.

 My old sad Sweet Pea Lotion.
 My new one! Sweet pea is like my favorite scent ever. (sorry it's blurry again, when I took these pics i don't know what I was thinking)
Oh and this is the Cherry Blossom Body Spray.


The next 2 things were from Hot Topic. I just got some GIR flip flops, and some candy,(but it's cute candy)


 BLURRY AHHHH!! And these were normally $10.
 This is the design.

Some cute cookie candy things. Hello Panda, and these are normally $3.



Oh and also from the dollar store I got these socks for a dollar, and they are so cute I had to get them.

Sorry i've been gone for a while, last week was my last week of school. If you have a question leave them in a comment, and bye!!

Get ready for the beach!! - Makeup

1. A lip stain, if you want a flush of color on your lips, but don't want to keep reapplying, than get one of these. These ones are from Covergirl.
2. Get a powder sunblock to be able to put over your makeup, and get extra sun protection. This one is from Bare Minerals.
3. Bronzer - if you just want to look really glowy, than apply a nice bronzer, this may fade in the water, but if your just relaxing in the sand, than you're good.
4.Sunblock - You really need sunblock for your face,(and body), this one is from Estee Lauder
5. Lip balm is very important. These are from EOS, you probably heard or have them. I have the summer fruit one, and the lemon drop one, they tastes amazing and will make your lips really moisturized.
6. If you want a glossy look, lip gloss is not the answer, just get Korres lip butter, it will moisturize your lips, while leaving a glossy look.
7. Waterproof mascara is wonderful. It keeps your lashes looking great, and keeps the smudged blackness of your face. This one is the one by one waterproof mascara.
8. Tinted moisturizer is a lot better to choose than foundation. It will moisturize your skin while covering imperfections.

If you have any other tips or items you think I should add, than comment down below, bye.

Get ready for the beach!! - What to bring in your tote

Going to the beach, the pool, anywhere else that you may need these items, well then keep on reading to see what to take, what to wear on your body and face. My next couple of posts will be all about the beach, I know it may be a little early, but hey you know that early bird quote thing. This post is all about what to put in your beach tote.

Grab a cute tote bag and fill it with these items to take to the beach.



1. Sunscreen - do not forget! You will burn like crazy if you don't bring.

2. Snacks - the heat, and running/swimming around will make you hungry, either grab a bite to eat, or just bring snack. I recommend granola bars, trail mix, or anything that does not need refrigerating and is still healthy. You could also take a cooler and fill it with things for your whole family or group of friends.

3.Water bottle - running around with all that water will make you thirsty or make you forget to drink water, so bring a cute water bottle and fill it with ice water.


4. Towel - bring a cute beach towel to lay on to get a nice tan.


5. Magazine/book - if you get bored easily than bring something to read.



6. Lotion - your skin may get dry and flaky from all that sun, and you can smell nice.

7. Phone/ipod - you can play games on your phone, or listen to music, just in case you get really bored.




8. Sunglasses- bring a cute pair to block the sun.




9. Comb - make sure to bring a comb to get any tangles out.


10. hair ties/bobby pins - You never know when you need to put up your hair




11. Camera -The beach is a beautiful place, take pictures to remember your day.




Be safe and have fun at the beach, (if your going) If you aren't than you can have fun at the pool, ( if not going there either, than you could always buy a kiddie pool.) :) leave any questions in the comments below. bye.
