Did you take your daily dose of FABULOUS today?

Seriously...it is one of those hell weeks aka finals week and you do NOT feel fab. You have been wearing the same leggings for the past 3 days and you don't even know what a hairbrush is anymore. Foundation is the enemy and fro yo has become a basic food group. Inside and out, you feel like a flop. SO STOP. You do not need to feel like a luke warm soy chai tea latte...you deserve to feel HOTT. So when you are studying for finals aka procrastinating on Facebook and Tumblr....take a break and have your daily dose of fabulous.

  • Take a bath. Pour some wine and listen to Rihanna's new album "Unapologetic"
  • Fold your laundry...in your cutest lingerie set.
  • Take a walk on the wild side. Go explore somewhere new, but not sketchy, and take a friend!
  • Wake and bake. Find a delish cookie or cake recipe online or in one those Paula Deen cookbooks you bought and never use. And don't try and make a low fat version and tell yourself you will just ate one...because 1 becomes 10 and you might as well have had just one big slice of rich, decadent chocolate cake and be blissfully full.
  • FaceTime. Your skin is probably taking the beating from your stress eating and lack of sleep/water/sunlight. And we all see those recipes on Pintrest and blogs for homemade, edible, face scrubs but never do them. So here are a few I have tried ( via marieclare.com) but there are thousands out there...with stuff you have in your fridge!
Organic Banana Face Mask
Your skin will have a healthy glow after applying this tropical mask to your face. This recipe is designed for all skin types.

1. Mash one half of a banana
2. Mix in a tablespoon of orange juice and a tablespoon of honey
3. Apply to the face and keep the mixture on for fifteen minutes
4. Rinse with lukewarm water and then moisturize

The Breakfast Mask
Complete with protein and whole grains, this breakfast-themed mask is used to correct and calm oily skin.

1. Combine an egg yolk, a tablespoon of honey, then a tablespoon of olive oil (yes, olive oil) and half a cup of oatmeal
2. Apply to the face for 15-20 minutes
3. Rinse with lukewarm water and then moisturize


( Also taking selfles while wearing the mask and sending them to friends is a must)

  • Shut up and Drive. Seriously when I am feeling restless and uninspired the best fix is to slide on a pair of oversized sunnies, hop in your car, blast your favorite kind of music and just go! An hour or two, across town or across the street. A change of scenery and pace wakes you back up and makes you feel shiny and new.
  • Just Dance! No shame in a self induced dance party in your room.
I could go on for days about fun things to do when you are feeling blah but I have already distracted myself from studying for finals enough. Don't forget the most important thing during times of stress is YOU. Divas deserve a little me time every day no matter how much you have to do!
 Good Luck and remember:
 Fabulous is not an adjective- It is a way of life
