5 Things to Do When Bored

On By IzzybizzyLeave a comment

I find that almost every week I have a time where I’m bored and I don’t know what to do.  Here is a list a put together with things you can do on a dull day.

1. Binge-watch a show/ watch a movie

This is something I always do. I go on Netflix or any other streaming site and choose one of my favorite movies to rewatch or a new show to binge. I rewatched one of my favorite movies 17 Again pretty recently.  I also have been loving watching this show called The 100.

2. Redecorate your room/ anywhere else you want in your house

I get bored with the decoration in my room really fast so I enjoy redoing my room a lot. You can either use the decorations you already have or try DIYing some new ones.

3. Read a book

Grab some snacks or make a nice drink and go get your favorite books and reread your favorite chapters. You could also just start a new book.

4. Hang ou with someone

Invite one of your friends over or go hang out somewhere in the city. If no one is available hang out with your pet. Go on a walk with your dog or if you have a small pet like a rabbit let them walk around the house and explore.

5.  Do a facemask

I absolutely love doing anything skincare related and facemask is my favorite. Put one on, light some candles, put on some music and relax. If you don’t have any at home you can easily make your own as there are plenty of instructions on how to make them online.

Summer Favorite Top 3

On By IzzybizzyLeave a comment

My favorite season is summer. I can hang out with my friends whenever I want, go swimming and eat ice cream. But sometimes I get bored. I decided to list my top 3 favorite things to indulge during the hottest summer months.

Top 3 movies I like to watch:

  • To All the Boys I’ve Loved before

This is a classic love story type of movie. A girl named Lara-Jean writes 5 love letter to boys but doesn’t send them. One day she finds out someone sent them out. Two of the guys read their letters. One of them, Noah ask Lara-Jean if she wants to fake date to make his ex-girlfriend jealous. Eventually, they fall in love.  It’s a great movie if you like romantic movies.

  • Wild Child

This movie is considered a comedy.  It’s about a spoiled teenage girl who lives in Los Angeles. She gets sent to boarding school in England because of her bad behavior. At first, she hates it here but after a while, she makes some friends and even falls in love.

  • Bad Moms

If you want to have a good laugh definitely watch this movie. 3  moms who are fed up with working a lot decide to let loose. They party, run as PTA president aginst the schools mean mom and one of them even falls in love.

 

Top 3 favorite summer drink

  • Iced matcha latte

This is a very refreshing and tasty drink for the summer. To be honest I have never made this drink my self. I usually get it at a Starbucks. What I like to do is ask for some vanilla syrup to add a little sugar. If your not a fan of green tea or something with not too much sugar I wouldn’t recommend this drink for you.

  • Iced coffee

It is super easy to make and it’s delicious. Make your preferred coffee like regular but make sure to add in cold milk to help cool it down. Then just put in a few ice cubes and your done.

  • Slushy

Yes, this is the third iced drink on this list. In my opinion, those are the best refreshing and cooling drinks for summer wich contain some ice. Just blend lots of ice cubes, sugar, and food coloring together.

I hope you enjoyed this post.

1.  DIY face serum for dry skin

This serum is extremely moisturizing and to make it you will only need 3 ingredients and a container

Make sure that you check whether your essential oil is skin safe or not. Put all of the ingredients together in your container and mix together. For the Essential oil use, about 5-7 drops of it depending on how strong of a sent you want for your serum.

2.  DIY  oatmeal face scrub

This scrub is great for exfoliating your skin naturally. You will need 3 ingredients plus a container here as well.

  • oatmeal

January Favorites

On By IzzybizzyLeave a comment

First of all Happy New Year!!! Here are my favorite makeup/beauty products of January. I decided to post this now even though it is not the end of January yet because if I would have waited until the end of the month no other post would be up for at least a week

1. Victoria’s Secret  Aqua kiss fragranced lotion

I really like this lotion because it’s not sticky or greasy and it has a light formula. It really hydrates my skin.

2. Real Techniques 6 miracle sponges by Sam&Nic

This is a set of 6 makeup sponges. They blend your foundation really well. In the set there are 3 small sponges, 2 big sponges, and 1 sculpting sponge.

3. Benefit GALifornia girl blush

I have the mini version but I still love it. It has a really nice corally color. It even comes with a mini brush to apply it.

4. Mac fix + pinklite

I love this setting spray.  It has really nice pink glitter in it. My makeup stays on really long when I use it.

5. Ecotools Winter Wonder Travel kit

It has 4 vegan brushes. A Powder brush, angled crease brush, setting brush and an eyeshadow brush.

6.The Mac cremesheen lipstick in the shade babetown

This lipstick has a really nice pink color and looks glossy on your lips.

7. Rituals: Ritual of Sakura set

This set contains body lotion, shower oil, shower foam, and body scrub. All of the products smell like organic rice milk and cherry blossom. I have really been enjoying these products so far.

8. The body shop Moringa set

This is a smaller set than the Rituals one. It contains a shower gel, body butter, and hand cream. It smells really nice and the products are great!

9. Organic shop: organic apricot and mango gentle peeling face mask

I love all Organic shop products because they mostly contain natural ingredients The products also do not contain parabens or silicone. This facemask smells really nice, it smoothes your face and peels it gently.

10. The Clinique dramatically different moisturizing gel

This product is actually for combination skin but I have very dry skin therefore I don’t use this as my daily moisturizer. It hydrates but also mattifies your skin so I decided to use this as a primer for under makeup. So far I have been loving this product

 

 

I hope you enjoyed reading my recent post! if you have any ideas I should post about leave them in the comment section.

Top 5 Favorite TV Shows

On By Izzybizzy2 Comments

I really enjoy watching tv shows in my free time. I think that they are really entertaining. My favorite genre is fantasy but I also like watching any other type of series. I really like watching series where people have special powers/abilities or with mystical animals. I listed my top 5 favorite tv shows

1. The Vampire Diaries

I really like this show because it has drama and romance in it. This tv show has a total of 8 seasons which I think is a lot so if you decide to go watch it it will take a while. In every season the protagonists of the story fight against an evil character. I love this show and it is on number one because I think vampires are classic fantasy. (I loved twilight as well) All the characters are funny. I also like that there is a contrast between good and bad in it.  I like the romance between someone who was first bad and then later became good!

2. Shadowhunters: The Mortal Instruments

This is also a fantasy show with drama and romance but it has different types of ‘mystical creatures’. There are demons, shadowhunters, and mundanes (humans). It has a total of 3 seasons. Unfortunately, the show was canceled but a few more episodes are coming out to finish the story. I really like it because I love fantasy shows and I really think the abilities that the characters have are cool.

3. Free Reign

This is a totally different type of tv show. The show is about a girl who falls in love with horse riding at a stable on an island where her grandpa lives. She goes riding every day, makes new friends and of course, falls in love with someone. I really like this series because I used to do horseriding for a while and I kind of miss it so watching this series makes me remember how fun it is.

4. Pretty Little Liars

I think this is a very classic/basic tv show almost everybody knows. It is about a group of girls who keep getting text messages for an anonymous person and meanwhile one of their friends disappears. I really enjoyed watching this show because there is a lot of romance in it.

5. Supergirl

This is a totally different serie than all the others. This show has superheroes in it. It is about a girl from Krypton who crashes on earth (the cousin of Superman) and as she grows up becomes a superhero. I really like this show because of the characters, the story and the good fighting the bad in it.

I hope you enjoyed reading this post! If you have any ideas what my next post should be about, leave a comment/reply!
