15 Ways To De-Stress

Sometimes we let life get in the way and we get overwhelmed with our daily lives.
Sometimes we need to stop and take care of ourselves
Here our some things I do to help with my stress

1. Pray
A talk with God always makes me feel better .
2.Turn Off Your Phone
Sometimes you need time to clear your head and need time to just gather your thoughts . I sometimes turn my phone off or on silent for a hour or two to collect myself 
3. Treat Yourself
There is nothing wrong with a little retail therapy to 
4. Listen to music
Laying back and vibe out to music help me relax 
5. Cook
Sometimes good food helps and focusing on a recipe will get your mind off the stress
6. Watch Your Favorite Movie or Television Show
Gilmore Girls and Grey's Anatomy are my go to shows
7. Exercise
Letting your frustrations out in a workout . Go for a run and clear your head.
8. Take A Bath
Grab your favorite bath bomb and some bath bombs
9. Talk To A Good Friend
Having someone to talk out your problem and to vent to help ( talk to a understanding person ,
someone who isn't gonna judge you) 
10.Read A Book
Grab a good book book and a cup of tea and escape into a book 
11. Dance It Out ( Grey's Anatomy Phrase)
Like Meredith and Christina  would do sometimes you have to blast music and dance your problems away. 
12. Go For A Walk
Take time to see whats going on in the world and walk around town .
13. Take A Nap
Resting and finally get some sleep will allow you wake up with a fresh mind
14. Write
I love to write out my problems and leave them on the paper 
15. Get A Massage
Releasing all the tensions from your body from a good  massage will leave you feeling refreshed .

Harry Potter Marathon

After a long week at work it was great to unwind with with friends .
My fellow Potter Heads and I set out on a mission to complete the series . 


We had so much fun laughing and talking.
Even though I was on Snapchat I kept to myself this weekend. 
I wanted to be in the moment . 




Depression is a scary thing and its been taking over my life lately.
My days have been work and home ( in bed) 
I haven't been feeling like myself lately .
 I just needed time to stop and let God take control . 


I needed to be surrounded my positivity and happiness .
I know people may think its weird but watching Harry Potter makes me happy. 
It takes me back to the good ole days. 


I use to watch Harry Potter all the time with my mother
It was a family thing 
 And this weekend reminded me of that 



Good food , good conversations and of course Harry Potter made things feel great 



It felt good to not have to deal with the outside world 
No Drama
Just peace and fun



Now its time for some much needed rest .
I feel so prepared for the week 
Now time for a talk with God and a good night's rest. 

What are some things you do when you're stressed ?

Rock Bottom

I'm scared
Today I'm sitting at 362 pounds .
By the grace of god I don't have any major health issues .
I've lost control of myself . 
I've let depression and anxiety take over my life and now I'm at my highest weight.
 I can't let this continue.
I cant continue to eat all the wrong things . 
I can't continue not being active . 
I need to make some major changes .
 And they have to start today .
 I want to be a mother one day and that's gonna be impossible or difficult to do with all this weight . I need to lose this weight for myself . It's a shame I can't walk to end of the block without feeling like I'm dying .
 I'm tired of this .
Today is my fresh start .
I've thrown out all the junk for my house and I'm creating a new Brittany now .

I pray this time will be the time I can finally make this work and lose all this weight .

Eat , Pray , Love


Lately I've been thinking about taking a trip alone . 
I don't know where yet but I need it .
I just want to relax , get pampered and not have a care in the world 

Traveling with friends would be fun but sometimes I just want to be alone. 
I want time to regroup and have one on one time with the Lord .

Ive been trying to take one day month to turn my phone volume down low and destress .
Sometimes I don't want hear about the latest drama from friends ( I hope that doesn't make me a bad friend ) . 
Just a day for me . 
A day to stay in bed , watch movies and order in food . 

Everyone deserves time to themselves 

I'm scared to leave the country alone but I see a nice spa weekend coming up for myself soon .

After this break up its time to get back to me . 
After giving my all to someone for almost 2 years I was left with nothing emotionally . 

It feels good to working on a better version of myself . 

Have you ever gone on vacation alone ?
If so where did you ? How was your trip

DIY LAUNDRY DETERGENT

Spring has come and I've been all about DIY household products.
 I wanted to try something new and why not save money in the process.
 So I've looking for ways to make alternative products.
Lately I've been trying a DIY detergent for my clothes 

Something that leaves my clothes smelling fresh but not an over powering fragrance . 
All you need to make it is : mason jar ( or any container with a lid )
Zote ( a bar laundry soap that can be found in the laundry detergent aisle for under a $1 )
Baking soda and a  cheese grater

I like to grate the zote 

Mixing zote and baking soda is easy . 

I like to do it in layers then shake it all together ( once the lid is on )

For a full load all your need a 2 tablespoons. 
For work clothes, children play clothes I would add a little more , but a little goes a long way .

I'm so in love with this detergent 

Do you have a DIY household product you love ?

Send me some DIYs you love

My Weekend With My Bestie

My weekend has been so amazing
My friend  Angelique from back home came into town to visit Friday night
First things first we made a store run for our weekend supplies 

There is nothing like good food and drinks wth my friend
Friday was a low key night just catching  up and yummy food

Saturday was fun slept in and woke ready for a fun day 



We did some shopping in town wait on my brother to get out of class before we did the real shopping 
Living in the middle of nowhere we had to take an hour long drive to get to a good mall 
Shopping is Angelique and I favorite pass time .

With her getting ready for a trip to Las Vegas and I getting things for Anime Central had a little of things we needed . 
Dont forget the coupons ( especially at Michaels )


After all that shopping we needed to refuel before the long ride home . 

I made jello shots for the first time and they turned out perfectly

 Saturday night was another chill night in the house watching Hidden figures and eating some amazing rotel dip . 

Though this trip was short and sweet it was exactly what I needed 
A weekend escape but we will be reunited in a month I can't wait 


How was your weekend?
