The half way point

In high school right now were are about half way through the year which means everyone starts to get lazy. Even though yes we all get lazy about school work at this point. We all get lazy with our looks and how we dress too. Being from Iowa, or other places cold, I know that it makes it even harder. When you are trying to get out of bed and its so cold and you are so tired. All you wanna do is keep your pajamas on and cuddle up. Then you realize that it isn't social acceptable to do that, or I hope you do at least.

So then usually the next step in sweat pants and a sweatshirt. Something almost as cozy as your pajamas and is next warmest and comfy. I know at this point it is really hard to change from those sweats because they are so soft and cozy. And a lot of people still wear that to school. Don't worry I first put the sweats on every morning too. But next what I do is I look in the mirror and ask myself is this really what I want everyone to see me looking like. If your answer is yes and you don't care then go for it, but if you are like me you know deep down you really don't wanna look like that. There are many easy solutions to this I promise! First of all find an inspiration for looking nice. Mine is usually myself because looking nice always makes me feel better about myself and I am more confident and much more likely to have a better day! Maybe you dress nice to get your crush to notice you or something like. There are really more things then you would think that can inspire you dress better. I am not saying that you have to wear a dress everyday either! I am just suggesting maybe next time instead of those sweats even just a step up to leggings would be better, maybe even jeans if you are really feeling it that day. And I know its hard but try not to wear a sweatshirt with the leggings! Find cute warm sweaters you can wear! Or just regular shirts with like jean jackets are cute too!  

Hair and makeup is usually the next struggle for me at least. I have naturally very frizzy crazy hair so I cant just wear it natural! This can make the morning a struggle. I just wanna throw it in a giant bun usally or just climb back into bed and stay there. I have learned that an easy one is to twist back the two sides and just put it into a low bun! It looks classy and nice.The sock bun; I am sure you have all heard of this great new item for when you are having a bad hair day. It is quick and easy and it looks way better then a messy bun any day. If you don't know how to do them you can find them on Pinterest everywhere! Don't have time to straighten all your hair? No problem just put it up in a pony tail and just straighten the ponytail and then wrap a chuck of hair (or you can braid the hair too) around the hair tie and bobby pin to make it look better then a boring old ponytail. Two words that have saved my hair many days; dry shampoo. It is a girls best friend. If you don't have time to shower and your hair is all greasy use it because it does miracles! One of the oldest tricks in the book but shower at night and put it in braids before you go to bed. Take it out in the morning and then naturally curly hair in the morning no heat needed. These are all great things to do in the morning.
