blab.

I've been pretty quiet on the blog lately. I don't know why, I just haven't had much to say I guess.
My spring break just finished, and today is my first day back at school and work. Yay...
I really just wish that they would just take out spring break all together. It just puts me in a funk, and I don't feel like doing school work (or really anything for that matter) ever again. Also, this time last year I was in Disney World having the time of my life. So really, every single spring break will suck after that one!

I really miss Tyler bunches. He's in Colorado shreddin' the gnar with the high school group. I am slightly jealous of him. I think I'm only jealous that he is out of school and having fun while I'm here all alone in an empty testing center. I am NOT jealous of the fact that he is out on a freezing cold mountain and partaking in a sport. Because I hate sports.

Annnyways...
Looking for a prom dress is hard. Like super hard. I think I will just wear jeans and a t-shirt and call it a day.

I also found a super cute summer dress at JCPenney today for a whopping $8! It's super cute :)

I'm bored now. Bye.

worrying too much.

I wish that I didn't worry so much. I seriously worry about every.single.little.thing.
I let is get the best of me most of the time, and it's annoying.
I wish I could just have a little faith, and know that everything is going to work out just like it should, because God is in control and everthing, but sometimes it's just so hard.
It freaks me out whenever I can't see something all laid out in front of me. I need to know every single step, and every single detail.
This next big step in my life is one that is going to take a lot of strength and faith. It really is a free fall, but I need to realize that God is my safety net that is there to catch me after I jump. (was that a really cliched metaphor? I think so. But I don't care. It really applies to everything right now.)
In my heart of hearts, I know that everything is going to work out just like we've planned. I know that God will provide a way, and that perhaps this period of my life was designed to bring me closer to him through faith and trust and lots of prayer.

I know that this post was vague, but I didn't feel like pouring my whole entire soul to the internet ya know?

dresses.

One of my favorite past-times at work is to look at dresses that I can not afford(or justify spending so much money on) and swoon over them. It distracts me from the frequent annoyances of people who just can't follow directions.
MOVING ON! Here are some swoon-worthy dresses via Mod Cloth.

If this last dress was in white, it would be my wedding dress. Fo Sho.

I can't think of a title.

I, Karasyn Lindsey, am very proud of myself. I have made an actually attempt to make my life a more healthy one. 
This past week (since last wednesday) I have gotten on my wii fit every single day for at least 30 minutes, and have burned at least 100 calories! :)
I have also lost two pounds! Though I think that is due to not snacking like it's going out of style.
I can already feel a change in my body, I'm not as tired in the mornings, my skin is clearing up, and I have a boost in self confidence.
I have only drank soda twice. I had a diet sprite zero(does that even count??) on monday when I had lunch with Brianna, because it came with my meal, and I'm drinking a coke right now due to the fact that I have a splitting headache.
Also, I have not been snacking, and when I do snack I force myself to eat an apple. I have also eaten a salad, which is a HUGE accomplishment for me, because usually I hate all edible greenery. It is for rabbits. However, I shall persevere for the sake of my well-being.
Brianna and I are going to the gym on friday, and I couldn't be more stoked! I'm so pumped to work out!   Did I really just say that??...weird.

waiting for summer.

today is one of those days when I want summer SO bad.

I'm so tired of the rain, and the cold, and the icy wind.

I want the heat, the breeze, and the feel of the sunshine on my shoulders.

Since I am getting so restless this winter, I have made a pact with myself that I am going to spend more time outside this summer.

I can't wait for long walks outside, riding my bike, and swimming in the pool :)

I also want to go back to Disney World SO STINKIN BAD!!! I am trying to convince my parents that this will a be a quite necessary trip due to the fact that Troy is the ripe age of nine, and has not yet been to a single Disney park! Also, I desprately need to go back, because I need a new princess pen (BEST PEN EVER.seriously) and my cat chewed up my little foam mickey head key-chain so I need a replacement. I see those as perfectly resonable reasons for trekking down to florida this summer ;) hopefully my parents will understand that too.

exercise, salad, and going natural.

So, yesterday afternoon I decided that I was tired of sitting on my butt and always talking about how I should exercise, instead of actually doing it. So I got up, put on some work out clothes, and pulled out the wii fit. I worked out for an hour, and I burned 70 calories! I know that probably isn't really that much, but for a person like me who avoids physical activity like the plague, it seemed like a lot.
I also made up a personal fitness routine that is supposed to get me in shape for summer if I do it every other day. I think that is very resonable, and I would like to be able to do it every day, but obviously some days I will just not have the time.
I've also decided that I am going to make myself eat salad at least twice a week. I hate salad with a passion, so this is big for me.  But salads are healthy, and they fill you up, and I really just need to stop being such a picky eater.

These are some salads that I found that I think look pretty decent.  I have decided that I can tolerate spinach leaves (I really really hate lettuce for some reason) so my mom bought a bag at the store the other day. I also like the idea of putting fruits, and grilled chicken in salads, because it makes them less gross. I found a "dressing" that I really like as well. I put that into quotes because it's barely a dressing at all.

This is it, obviously. Its actually really good!

Moving on...as I've talked about before, this year I've really struggled with acne issues.  I've tried pretty much everything. I even went to a dermatolgist, and he gave me an official perscription for a pill, and this nasty cream that smells like old fried food and rotten potatoes(yes, really) and was WAY too expensive. So, after many days of frustration and tears because nothing was working, and my face felt absolutely disgusting, I researched a natural approach to fighting acne.

Here are the products that I use, that are actually working.

this is a life saver. It a rollerball spot stick, by Yes to Tomatoes. This stick is pretty small, and easy to carry with you. Also, it works great with my sinsitive skin, because the acids in it are all natural!

The Clinique Three Step System.

I know that it isn't natural or organic or anything, but I will swear by this stuff. It's not an acne fighter, but it does keep your skin nice and clean. It has a very gentle formula, so it doesn't irritate or cause dryness.

I use these Yes to Cucumbers (same link as the Yes to Tomatoes) facial towlettes, to clear off all my makeup at night. These towlettes are AMAZING. They don't irritate my face at all, and they also have aloe vera and dead sea minerals in them. Plus, they are pretty cheap!  Taking off your make-up ever.single.night. is really important in the journey to clearer skin!

Those are the products that I use to clean my face. This is what I use for makeup...woohoo!

This foundation is great! I found that when I was using drug store foundation, it was just clogging up my pores and making my skin super oily. Therefore, making my acne worse. So I looked up natural foundations online, and decided to go with this one. Its kind of pricy, but it seriously lasts forever, and it leaves my skin feeling soft, not gross.

I use this Redness Reducing mineral loose powder by Clinique.  It's super light weight and leaves my skin looking healthy and covered, without the overpowdered look that can often happen.

Well there you have it! Sorry if this was super boring, but then again, no one was forcing you to read it ;)

re-cap

hello all.
It seems as if I haven't blogged about anything in forever, and lots has happened since I did last blog.
So I guess I actually do have something to say.
This past week showed me that your true friends will always stick with you no matter whats going on. You can't let misunderstandings stand in the way of a great friendship, and I'm glad that we didn't let that happen :)

annnnyways, so this weekend was positively lovely.
on Friday, Brianna and I went to Neighborhood Pizza, Red Velvet, and Maggies (where womens wear was on sale for a dime!) That was absolutely wonderful, and I got some pretty cute stuff!
Oh, and also I purchased my first vintage dress from Red Velvet. Its this super cute black dress, and the best part was that it was on the $10 rack! woooooo hooooo!

Saturday: I started out the morning by waking up earlyish and cleaning. Then my family went to Troy's last basketball game. It was so cute, and they won! I love my little brother, he is a stud. After that, I went home, ate food, and caught up on some online assignments. Tyler came over and we watched Anastasia. I loved that movie when I was a kid, but now it just seems creepy! After that, we went to his grandmas house and we played Apples to Apples and Nertz. This is where the adventure started...First of all, Tyler and I should never be allowed into a car by ourselves without a GPS.  So his grandma lives in Halltown which is seriously in the middle of nowhere, and Michelle(tylers mom) tried to explain to us how to take the backroads to I-44. The roads were pitch black and foggy and terrifying, and it reminded me too much of the book House, and the movie The Human Centipede. We then missed our exit onto the highway, and hit an opossum, and got followed until we decided to turn around. Now it's just funny to look back on.

Sunday was fun, and then Brianna invited us over after church to her family birthday celebration, and a good time was had by all. Plus she got super cute presents!

well I guess that was a weekend re-cap.
the end!
