TECKTONIK

Yes laydeez and Gents! I am into dancing.
I am done high school have no job and nothing to do! Luckily its almost summer so all my friends who went to college and university are returning home.

Dance, I have ALWAYS loved it. The only thing that held be back from being the next prima ballerina was my fear of angry looking girls. I showed up to class in my dance leotard with a sparkly tutu (I used to wear it to gymnastics which I gave up because we never did ribbon dancing and that's all I wanted to do) after ballet I tried Irish dancing which was fun... but the teacher was SOOO MEAN! I am a passive person and I definitely don't stand up for myself as much as I should have so I wimped out of that.

This leads me to now. I dance Para Para, and learn Kpop routines, and now...to add one more thing to my list... TECKTONIK!

Basically to my knowledge the Tecktonik dancer must be secretly cool. its not cool to go around saying I AM DANCING TECKTONIK! so technically I'm breaking rule one... BUT then again how else do people learn about it? Though is is cool to keep a youtube account teaching people how to dance tecktonik.

I recommend stretching if you wish to try this... and take it slow. If you try it at the same speed as those who have already mastered Tecktonik...you will look RIDICULOUS. Anways here are some videos I have found useful for the absolute beginer!

This first video is absolutely doable for any beginer.

This is a little more difficult. MAJOR TIP take it slow. stretch your wrists or you WILL WITHOUT A DOUBT injure yourself. I did. and lets be honest... how do you explain a sore wrist without being made fun of...

I find this video gives the movements in the videos above more of a fluid transition. It connects them and shows movement seaquinces. I found this really helpful.

Heres a few links that have more videos, I have yet to watch them all but I assume their good content. They were recommended to me by another site.http://www.learntecktonik.net/

And thats a day-in-in-the-life for me at the moment. Keeps me occupied and entertained.

Ciao! Groove on and  REMEMBER H2O!

Spring Cleaning?!?

The birds are singing, the flowers are blooming,and best of all the spring attire is coming out of storage. Now, I am a really REALLY messy person. I am the joke of the family when I say I cleaned my room the response is usually "oh so theres a path now?" or something of that nature. I have 13 years of clutter in my room. My mom never forced me to clean nore did she clean for me because I would always complain when she threw away my collection-of-the-week. I don't know what it is about this year but for some reason I have just been on a cleaning spree! I have four or five garbage bags of stuff to give away to the library and good will in my basement. That is only the beginning. I have years of school work, 16 years to be exact this includes kindergarten and preschool, and its hard sometimes to just dump away this stuff I've always thought that "I will have a use for this someday!" but enough is enough! I want ZEN I want to be able to do yoga in my room, or walk around without getting something wedged in my foot. I want my room back... or well... lets be honest... I never had a clean room back I not really the right term...

ANY WAYS! step one is getting rid of all that I don't need. Yes this includes clothes. I have too many random pieces that I think "Oh this would look lovely with that" when i don't own "that" therefore I need more classics but that's later. Old Marie would start buying classics when I really don't have room for them.
.


Second maximize your space so you get the most out of what you have. Organize so that you really are using your room the most efficient way. Like for example, I have a full length mirror and even though it fits perfectly behind my door I NEVER USE IT also I have a drafting table, a double bed, a large dresser, and a massive guinea pig cage. these are things I don't plan on getting rid of, I plan to use this feature on Ethan Allen's site to the best of its ability to organize my bedroom. There is also graphing paper, useful, but lets be honest... the Ethan Allen link is WAY WAY cooler.

Next is Shelving. I have a friend (Keely who's fabu and Glam blog is here she also has a myspace which I'M sure you can figure that out.)who's room was a complete DISASTER! and now she is the organization queen. Now she didn't spend millions she went to the dollar store as well as ikea and bought some pretty useful stuff. Theres also some pretty cool stuff on
Last is beautifying, yes that's a word. For example... Bookcase, you don't have to put all the books in the same direction. I find you fit more if you stack your books differently by size, slant, stack and what not. It looks way cooler!!! How about organize nic-nacs, I have a Lilo hula girl (you know Lilo and Stitch?) beside my ship in a bottle, ha ha it makes me laugh.

The biggest advantage to more then a path of space... is dancing around your room... I never was able to do that before ha ha!

Anyway GET CLEANING! SEIZE THE DAY! ha ha :)

P.S. I got the picture of the book case from Cupcakes and Cashmere. If you have never seen this blog, I recommend you put in at least an hour of browsing through it! Its written by the clever and lovely Emily Schuman all the way in Los Angeles.

A pill to perfection.

The multi Vitamin. It promises so much,perfect skin, hair, and nails. But can one little pill really change everything?
I have a friend who excitedly went out and forked out her money for fancy multivitamins and promised beauty. Only after she bought the vitamin and saw no results did she then read the amount of each vitamin and realize it was not enough. This story sounds kind of familiar doesn't it? Girl sees promise, Girl believes promise, Girl forks out her money for promise, AND FINALLY Girl is disappointed by results of the all curing product that turned out to be just fancy advertising. This happens to ALL of us at some point. What we have to realize is that not just one product will change our lives but and understanding of what that product is and how we can find the best ones that work to their potential and combine them with products that don't counter act each other.

Diet is key! I'M a vegetarian (4 years this may), I don't get natural oils from fish and mammal that help with my nails and hair and whatnot. I have had to do so much research to obtain a healthy diet and I have soooo much more to do. Also I have sensitive skin (which is annoying and OMG pricey to care for hence why I'M obsessed with homemade remedies), and fine hair that gets greasy sometimes within the day I wash it. My point? If your like me this is the blog for you. I know that not everyone has MILLIONS of dollars, I know that its frustrating buying a whole bunch of pricey products just to be told "that's horrible for your hair", and I know its so difficult finding the right answerer's. Every ones yelling "BUY THIS" or "NO BUY THAT" and who knows if their telling the truth or not! Soooo many people are getting paid to say that!

In conclusion, you have my full opinion of truth, I may not always be right but at least I am not leading you to the deathly deps of DEBT!

Love your honest blogger

Its the middle of the first semester and its getting harder to get outside and excited about the day. I've been feeling dull and cold which ultimately makes me feel anything but pretty! Good thing there is a cure!!!

One♥ A good dose of moisturiser!! I have been so busy with life I totally forgot about moisturising my arms and legs. It takes an extra minute of your day and makes to you smell and feel great!Soft skin just boost the soul to levels of good!

Two♥ Why not buy a new season color?? maybe its just my obsession with fashion magazines but I love wearing that "must have" lipstick/nail polish/eyeshadow. Yes it is very much a marketing scheme to keep the buying on a never ending spiral of financial doom BUT its got me. I don't follow everything the magazine tells me but i do enjoy feeling as though I am dressing in Vogue.

Three♥ Take time for a Bubble bath. This is similar to the moisturiser. Taking me time sometimes seems trying and that there is no time. You will be surprised how much a facial and bubble bath can pick up your week.

Four♥ Get your hands on some new shampoo!!! I just went out and bought two new shampoos. I'm trying out one with oat milk and a bottle of Johnson's baby shampoo. I also bought a new dry shampoo. BEST STUFF IN THE WORLD!! I sware dry shampoo is like magic.

Five♥ Raid Walmart for some Wool Socks. They will help you beat that winter chill that's creeping in. I have yet to pick some up but I just know it will help. Waking up in the morning with my feet exposed to the cold air. Getting out of bed is very painful in this situation. If i had some warm wool socks waiting for me life would be so much better. Just sayin!

Six♥ Take a catnap. Many believe catnaps really don't work but honestly? why not try. Do it breakfast at Tiffani es style. A snazzy eye cover and snazzy ear plugs. Its said that a half hour nap keeps you from feeling groggy afterwards. Also you heal when you sleep so pack on that moisturiser and blemish remover, pop a multi vitamin and get some shuteye!!
