Personal Bill of Rights ♡

This is very important to know. I think we forget that we are human sometimes and we let other use and abuse us. It's okay to help others and be a bit relaxed when it comes to some situations. But you never want it to get out of hand. To respect others you have to respect yourself!

I have this cognitive book from school and it's nice to read through and I wanted to share the Personal Bill of Rights with you all c: ♡ Please read these out loud and to others. Also share!

- I have the right to ask for what I want.
- I have the right to say "NO" to a request or demands I cannot meet.
- I have the right to express all of my feelings, both positive and negative.
- I have the right to change my mind.
- I have the right to make mistakes and to not be perfect.
- I have the right to follow my own values and standards.
- I have the right to say "NO" to anything when I feel I am not ready, it is unsafe, or it violates my values.
- I have the right to determine my own priorities.
- I have the right not to be responsible for others' behaviors, feelings, or problems.
- I have the right not to expect honesty from others.
- I have the right to be angry with someone I love.
- I have the right to be uniquely myself.
- I have the right to feel scared and say, "I'm afraid."
- I have the right to say, "I don't know."
- I have the right not to give excuses or reasons for my behavior.
- I have the right to make decisions based on my own feelings.
- I have the right to my own needs for personal space and time.
- I have the right to be playful and frivolous.
- I have the right to be healthier than those around me.
- I have the right to be in a non-abusive environment.
- I have the right to make friends and feel comfortable around people.
- I have the right to change and grow.
- I have the right to have my needs and wants respected by others.
- I have the right to be treated with dignity and respect.
- I have the right to be happy.

These are all in respect for yourself and others. Please remember that it crosses the line when there is discrimination and plain meanness involved. If so, then maturely work things out and if you can't then you don't need that person in your life. No one should ever put down someone for anything unless they are mentally or physically harming you. Yes the world can suck, but there is some true goodness in people too.

Please remember these Rights and spread love and equality to all!

Tata for now, teacups!

Calming Teas ♡

Tea is a very good way to be at peace and feel relaxed when life gets really hectic and stressful. I definitely love tea and choose to drink it over any other beverage if available. There are different kinds of teas that have different shades of color, scent, and taste! Teas are very diverse because they are different mixtures of all natural herbs, flowers, and more which is absolutely wonderful. You can choose a loose leaf tea to steep or simple tea that comes in ready to go to packages.

 Calming Teas 

Chamomile Tea

Peppermint Tea

Lemon Balm Tea

Sleepy Time Tea

& more!!!

The options are endless with tea! Just make sure that the tea you have has little to no caffeine since the caffeine won't really relax you. You can add sugar or honey to your tea for added sweetness or drink it plain like I do! Sugar is nice but that can also make you hyper and less calm. I would say just a tad bit of sweetness will do. I also find if very helpful to drink tea in the morning that is caffeinated instead of coffee and drink uncaffeinated tea at night before bed! There is also this tea that I like to get at this dessert restaurant here in San Diego that I absolutely love and they have a variety of loose leaf teas that I try all the time! (I'll do a post on that sometime).

Get a cute mug and sit down and relax with your favorite tea!~ ^o^

ENJOY~

Dealing with Depression ♡

This is for those who need help or for whose who want to be a supporter for those who need it~

Depression is no fun. It's a very big problem and really, it's common at any age but sadly it's not taken seriously at times. Especially for teens and young adults. It's seen as a phase and yes, that is true sometimes but to a certain point. For the past few months I have been feeling more down than usual about everything. I lost interest in a lot of things that I used to love and I don't feel the same. At first I thought that it was just a part of growing up but as the years have gone by I noticed that my feelings and thoughts have gotten worse to the point that it has been affecting me and the people I love. I don't enjoy anything anymore, I worry way more than I should, and I think bad thoughts all the time. But even though I feel at my lowest sometimes, I seek help from people who care and love me as much as I do with them. So if you're down in the dumps, you can always seek help. There are many resources now to help those in need and those who want to just talk. But what is awesome is that you can go to anyone for help. Parents, family members, friends, loved ones, teachers, counselors, and sometimes online. There are even anonymous services that you can use too. Because I am away from home and I am attending college, I will be going to an on campus counseling service to help me with my depression and anxiety. But currently I do some things to help myself feel better and maybe these can help you too!

♡ Talk to my best friends

♡ Talk to  my mommy

♡ Talk to my boyfriend
♡ Go out for a walk
♡ Eat or drink something yummy and something I really love
♡ Watch my favorite movie or show
♡ Look at baby seals and corgis
♡ Keep myself occupied
♡ Read my favorite book
♡ Cry to let it all out

Know that things will get better. There are always going to be poop days in life but the good days will always win. No matter how bad. Just keep looking forward and never stop trying and remember to go at your own pace.

YOU ARE A CUTIE WITH SO MUCH LOVIN' YOU CAN DO IT! WOOHOO! 

If you know someone who is going through a tough time and you want to help, that is just amazing! Knowing someone who has depression can be heartbreaking. Especially if you don't want them to feel like that at all. It takes a lot of time, and support to get someone to feel 100% better. Even then, it's hard to tell if it will come up again. But just be there for that person, and always remind them that it's not the end. For them, just knowing that someone cares for them even at their worst is the greatest. 

Here are some things that you can do to help:

♡ Let them know that you want to help them
♡ Listen to what they have to say even if you don't know how to respond
♡ Try not to get frustrated, let them say what they need to at their own pace 
♡ Treat them out
♡ Suggest things to do 
♡ Give them smiles and hugs
♡ Spend time with them
♡ Do things they want/like to do
♡ Don't give up on them

If they are in danger, please notify someone close to them and or help them seek professional help.


Now go off into the world Cutie-Pie! Run around, make the world happy, and spread the love. 

October Music ♡

So I have been listening to a lot of music recently. Some new and some old! I thought I would share some of my favorite albums and songs with you all for the Fall time. ^-^

Yours Truly is truly amazing. It came out this past September 3rd and as excited as I was, I pre-ordered it and got it the day it came out. I was actually on the plane to move to Chicago when I got it so I stayed up the whole time and listened to it all on repeat. Ariana Grande is going for the whole R&B style and it's pretty cute! Plus she is a cutie pie herself! I recommend all you dearies to listen to her! You won't be disappointed! 

Justin Timberlake's album The 20/20 Experience -- 2 of 2 came out July 12, 2013. Justin is sexy to begin with and his album surely does a good job at reflecting that too! Timbaland helped a lot with the album so having the both of them compose music is awesome! If you feel like getting into a good mood and dancing around while adoring Justin's voice~ this is the album to get! My favorite song from the whole album would be Cabaret which features Drake. So good!

My roommate showed me this band called Alt-J. Their album An Awesome Wave is spot on. If you like indie rock they are a band to go to! I fell in love with their song Breezeblocks. The video for the song is what really got to me too. In a way it is very haunting and addicting! Definitely a good album to listen to in the Fall.
