Dangerous Summer Insects

The summer is upon us, and although the majority of us get really excited and want to run out and roll around on the grass, there are some dangerous insects out there that we have to be worried about. I am not saying you have to lock yourself in a room and be a hermit, but simply remember to check your body for any scabs that look suspicious.
To make things easier for you, I have created a list with the insects your have to be the most worried about.

The Bee

No surprise that the bee is one of the bug on our list. The bee can actually become very dangerous, when you are allergic to it. Some people don´t know they are allergic, before they have been stung and if you are alone at the time, there is a chance that you can go into chock and die.
The bee comes in many shapes and sizes and exists in many different countries.




Mosquitos

 In Africa Mosquitos kill and carry more diseases than any other bug. Some can be harmless, whereas others can be deadly. One can make your skin itch, where the other can make you sweat and puke for days. A mosquito can even carry HIV from one person to the another.







Ticks

Like many of the other insects, the tick exists in many countries. It is very dangerous mainly because they are so small the you can´t see when they are crawling on you, hiding and biting on to your skin, in warm nooks and crannies of your body. If you have a pet, the tick can get "stuck" in the fur of your pet and get carries in to your home. If a tick doesn´t get removed/treated you can end up getting Lyme´s disease.


Other insects that can be dangerous:
Certain Spider species
Certain Ant species
Scorpions
Millipedes & Centipedes

Inspiration & Motivation Of The Day

Guuuuys!
It's June ya'll!! You know what that means, right? It is officially summer! Bikini season and not-so-much-clothes season has kicked in! Yaaay! Or naaay? Either way, you have a body and I bet it is super beautiful! Though, sadly many girls/women, including myself, are unhappy with their bodies. Some more than others, but it is a common thing among females. So today is in the name of love your body and I will try to make everyone comfortable in their own skin. If not, just for a minute! Therefore I didn't need you guys to look at skinny girls in bikinis today so I collected some of my favourite quotes around the internet about appreciating yourself and just being more true to yourself and your workout.
I know from personal experience that summer sometimes can be a kick in the face with all the wishes that didn't come true and maybe a reminder of how slow a process changing your body really is. Summer is great so make it great! No matter what you look like! That's my quote of the day!

Diva Or Normal pt 1

Maleficent

Now, this movie was a movie I initially didn't really wasn't that interested in, because I don't really like Angelina Jolie (because of various reasons, I won't get into now). But because of a friend, who honestly is obsessed with Maleficent, I decided to give this movie a chance. 

And boy, what a great decision. This movie is a cinematic wonder, the vibrant colours and weird woodland creatures, made it a feel like a real Disney cartoon movie. Except that it totally wasn't cartoony, but looked real? Like of course the creatures looked cgi, but the nature and sky and all that background stuff (which I'm guessing also is cgi and green screen) looked natural and beautiful.

Now, since this isn't exactly just a live action version of Disney's Sleeping Beauty, I'm gonna just quickly summarize what Maleficent's about. Now this movie is told from "the big baddie"'s viewpoint, like why she was so pissed off at not being invited to the baby party. And it all started in a faraway land, with two kingdoms. One was ruled by the ruthless King Henry, while the other - known as the Moors - was home to magical creatures, such as fairies. The most powerful fairy of all was Maleficent.

And I think that's as much as I want to say about the plot, because the things that happen in Maleficent's past, is the most prominent thing we don't already know from the Sleeping Beauty cartoon. And I want you to experience that for yourself.

Jolie as Maleficent and her own daughter Vivienne Julie-Pitt as Aurora age 5.

One of the things I liked most about the fact that we got to see what excatly motivated Maleficent to go after young Aurora, was that the movie didn't try to make her actions seem entirely justifiable? Like, they didn't make her into a heroine on her path of justice, but at the same time they did. I don't know, they managed to make her both the hero and the villain without it seeming out of character or messy and confusing. You understood why she did what she did, even if you didn't agree with the way she did her thing.

I don't know what much more I can say without spoiling the movie, because most of the movie that involved Maleficent and her interactions with Aurora are a huge part of what differentiates this movie from the original Disney Classic. And I don't want to take that away from you. 

So all I can say really is that Jolie really hit it out of the park with her performance and even though I probably won't be running to the store to buy every Jolie movie out there, I have changed my view of her a bit. Maybe I just needed to see her in the right role (and maybe I won't be so mad at her for the Tomb Raider movies anymore). Oh, I've got to mention Elle Fanning too, because she played young Aurora with a joy and innocence that was so endearing. Also, I am so glad they actually cast someone who looks the age of 16, which Aurora is when she enters her eternal sleep.

So yeah, go see it, it is truly a fairytale movie and filled with darkness and light. I was positively surprised. Oh, and if you can, see it in 2D, don't bother with the 3D version. Didn't add a thing.



And sorry for the last posting, but I've been a bit busy lately and haven't had much of a chance to write this. Again, I'm sorry.

Favourite Hanna Marin Outfits

If there's a show you watch only because they wear pretty outfits, it should be ABC's Pretty Little Liars. The girls on the show dress to impress even when going for a trek into the forest or while being cyber stalked by a creeper. And one of the main characters who continue to impress me with her wardrobe choices, it's the fabulous Hanna Marin (played by Ashley Benson).

So to take a trip down memory lane inside Hanna's closet, I've found some of my favourite outfits she's worn throughout the four seasons.

Featured in season 3 episode 1; "It Happened That Night"
I just love how she chose the colourful yet classy jacket to spruce up the simple elegant lace dress.
And I like the belt, it adds a nice touch.

Featured in season 3 episode 4; "Birds Of A Feather"

Hanna really has a thing for blazers/jackets and she knows how to work 'em. Even this yellow cute colour. And cute blue-ish shorts. With a simple white tank top. I mean really. It shouldn't work. But it does.

Shorts by Joie)







Featured in season 1 episode 4; "The Jenna Thing"

I love mint coloured thing, so her top here is right up my alley. And a skirt that short is only possible if you have legs as hot has Hanna has. And again, her jackets are on point with the cute ruffle thing in the back.










Featured in season 1 episode 6; "There's No Place Like Homecoming"
I don't know what it is, but the feathers do it for me. Fashion wise, that it. and it's such a beautiful colour.













Featured in season 3 episode 6; "The Remains Of The A"

I love crazy pants, and these pants are crazy... fun.
Also cute top.

Featured in season 3 episode 15; "Mona-Mania"

Cute cute cute cute but also classy as heck. What more can I say?


("Resonance" dress by Sandro)












Featured in season 3 episode 7; "CrAzy"

 

Pastel colours are my weakness, what can I say? Also I'm gonna steal that purple bag.

These outfits are just a small portion of Hanna's endless parade of fabulous, but you get the general idea of how amazing her closet is.

Great Father's Day Ideas!

Father's Day is coming up soon! For us three weird girls it's June 5th, and so we thought we'd share some ideas with you, like we did with our Mother's Day post.

First off, these ideas depend very much on what type of person your father is. So not all of these might fit your dad.

Ideas for presents!

Video games!
If your dad is anything like my dad, video games is a sure thing that'll bring him joy. For my dad it's first-person shooter games that's the way to his heart, but there are many other games you can get your dad! May I recommend any of the Lego franchise games? They're super fun for every age and it's something you can do together.

Books! 
You can never go wrong with books, books are awesome, go read one now. Anyway, I am a 100% sure if you just ask your dad a little about what kinda things he likes, you'll be able to find the right book for him. Or maybe just give him a gift card to the book store, and he'll be able to pick one out for himself.

Work tools!
If your dad is a self-proclaimed handyman, he'll sure be overjoyed if you hand him a brand new drill or buzz saw. Or whatever he needs for his work shed.

Ideas for Activities!

Here's some idea's for what you can do on the day with your beloved father. Some of them might be depended on the weather, but hopefully it'll be sunny.

Football! GOOOALL! And all that jazz. If your dad is a big football fan, taking him to a match with his favourite team is a sure fire way to win his approval. Even if you don't like football, he'll surely appreciate you taking time out of your calender to do something he enjoys. It could be a nice bonding experience for the both of you.

 Light! Popcorn! People not shutting up during the movie! Let's go to the movies! Take your dad and venture into the dark to go on an adventure. And this is something you'll both enjoy, I'm sure of it!

This one is something for the whole family. Grab some food, a blanket and go out into the beautiful nature and spend some time with your lovely family. And celebrate your father, a man who hopefully is someone worth celebrating.
Oh, and if it's raining, try having an indoor picnic! It's just as fun, trust me.






These are just some ideas that you can do for Father's Day. As I said, it all really depends on who your father is and what he likes to do. Try thinking of things that'll make him happy, and work from there. I'm sure you'll find something!

The Tough Tabata

Hi guys!
Summer is all over us and if you are (like me) inspired to touch up that body before bikini season kicks in, here's something!
I've been going to a lot of classes lately and my favourite at the moment is High Intensity Training - also known as H.I.T class. This is a class where you focus on both cardio training and core strengthening. I love it and it is super hard and super effective!
In this class we have a pass called Tabata. This is a killer! It is various rounds of exercises you're doing over and over again within a planned amount of seconds. Sometimes you're doing the exercises for 30 seconds and sometimes 40 seconds, it depends on the instructor and songs.
I found an amazing instructor on Youtube called Amanda Russell who's going to show you guys the most effective workout! I just love it! ... And hate it a little bit too. Tabata is a challenge. It's all about getting your pulse sky high! In this video she does the exercises 20 seconds at a time and a wicked 8 rounds of them! Usually in my classes we only do 6 rounds, but if you're doing it as a total workout, you can easily do 8 rounds. And it is all about testing yourself! Please remember that. It's all about getting you out of the comfort zone and that's why a class is better for me. I need an instructor to yell at me when I'm stopping or doing the exercises too slow. So if you're doing this home alone, please have in mind that you need to push yourself. Not to the limit, but over! A little sweat never hurt nobody!
So get yourself going with this gorgeous girl Amanda Russell! She is truely amazing! Click for her Youtube channel here!
