"When we feel stuck, it's often because we're living by somebody else's rules."-Jillian Michaels

In life we get comfortable living by other people's rules, but sometimes to break out of a funk you just gotta make up your own rules and live your life on your own terms.

Goal: Stop living by everyone else's rule! Make your own.

Over the years I've learned that in order to achieve your goals you have to continuously work your ass off, and if you want to succeed at something, you have to keep working. I used to think that if I was working on something really hard that I should be seeing results quickly, but the truth is it takes time, it's not going to happen overnight, and you have to keep working. If you give up on what you want most in the world, you're never gonna reach your goal, you're just going to be sad and depressed and hating the world.

Stay strong, stay focused, and keep working because things will change and you will achieve what you want!

This is a lesson I've had to learn the hard way over the last few months. I've been making excuses for a lot of things, but that's going to change, I'm changing, and it's for the better!

Hello lovelies, I hope you're having a great day! Today I have great news to share with you, big changes are coming, very big changes, some personal changes and then some pretty big blog changes too!

First up blog changes. I've known for a while that I wanted to make some more changes. I'm 100% sure I'm going to be making changes to blog content, and I think I want to make some design changes too.
I know for sure that I will be getting rid of the 5 Words series, I used to love doing it, but for the past few months I just hate it! So that's going to change, I have a few ideas of what I'm going to put in its place, I just haven't made my mind up yet, but that's okay I still have a few more weeks to make a decision.
 The last 5 Words will be posted on December 26, it will be the last Friday in December and also the 100th 5 Words post, so I figured that it would be the perfect time to end the series! In regards to the blog design, I will tinker with it over the next few weeks, I don't plan on making any huge changes, just a few tweaks, but who knows, I might decide to makeover the entire blog!
 Regardless of what happens I'll keep you updated!

Second, personal changes. This one actually might end up affecting my blogging schedule, I'm going to try not to let it interfere, but it might.
So last week I went to Tumbleweed for dinner with my family and while we were there my mom startedtalkingwith the manager and I decided to ask her if they were hiring, and they were. So she told me to put in an application and to call her the next day, so I went home, put in the application, and called her Thursday.
We set up an interview for Yesterday and it went great! I go tomorrow for my second interview with the other manager and she told me that the job was pretty much mine because she liked me enough to send me to a second interview!

You guys!!!! I can not explain how excited I am, I've been trying to find a job since the day I turned 16, I feel like things are finally starting to work out right and I'm really excited for tomorrow!

Okay so now that I've said all that I think it's time to get to what today's blog post is supposed to be about, this months Pinterest Finds!!!

1. I really do believe this quote, I believe that there's a reason it took me so long to find a job and I really hope that the time is right for this to happen.

2. This is so true.

3. Since I'm still recovering from my sprained ankle I've been sorley lacking inspiration for working out, so this month I've been pinning a lot of exercise motivation.

4. This month I've developed a great love for Jennifer Lawrence, she's amazing!

So that's all for this months Pinterest Finds, I hope you liked it!!! Let me know below what you think about my blog plans, I would love to hear any ideas you have, whether it be about the design, or about what you think I should replace 5 Words with!!!

Happy Monday lovelies, I hope you had a wonderful Easter yesterday (if you celebrate it), and I hope your week is off to a great start. 

I have a very busy day to day, and I'm already behind, so I'm just gonna jump on in and get started.

1. This Demi Lovato quote.

Via

2. Golden Cocker Retriever puppy!

Via
When I pinned this the caption said that this was a full grown dog, and that it would look like a puppy forever. Well to me that sounded too good to be true, so I googled it and I was right Golden Cocker Retrievers won't stay this size forever, (even though I totally wish they did).

3. How to Write Long Papers

Well that's all for this months Pinterest Finds, I hope you enjoyed it, and don't forget to follow if you wanna see more!

 Happy Monday lovelies, and welcome to the first Pinterest Finds blog post! Every month is going to be different, some months I may only post one thing I found on Pinterest, and then months like February I might post 5, either way I hope you like it.

                                                    1. This quote from John Green

Via

                                2. These boots from Torrid that I'm thinking about ordering.

                                                                  3.  This photo.

                                                       4.  This picture. The TRUTH!

Via

                                           5. This picture of Demi Lovato's hair in 2010.

Via

   I kinda wanna add a little note for #5, about why I decided to add it. I added this picture because this is the picture I took took to the salon last week when I got my hair done (I'll be doing a post about it either this week or next week) .
    I had decided that I wanted to cut off a lot of hair, and I wanted to add layers, so I started looking on Pinterest, then I remembered this picture that I had pinned, and I knew it was the one.
     Tip: If you can't decide what you want to do with your hair go on Pinterest and type in Demi Lovato aka hair porn queen, I'm not kidding when I say the girl has had every hair color you can imagine, and you will definitely find something you like!


   So that's all for this week check back soon for that post about my new hair cut/color, I'm going to try to get it posted this week, but it could possibly be next week.
                                                                                     XOXO,
                                                                                           Lori Ann

13 Quotes I like to Live by...

    There are certain quotes I like to live by, I have a lot, but today I decided to share some of my favorites.

• Just think of the pain a smile can hide, you don't even know what is really behind it!

• Whether you're a size 4 or 24, if you have a vagina you are a real woman.
• FEARLESS is getting back up and fighting for what you want over and over again... Even though every time you've tried before you've lost. -Taylor Swift
• The only person you should try to be better than is the person you were yesterday.
• I like my booty and thighs. I have curves. Get over it. -Demi Lovato
• I don't think there's going to be a day when I don't think about food or my body, but I'm living with it, and I wish I could tell young girls to find their safe place and stay with it. -Demi Lovato
• Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live it's whole life believing that it's stupid. -Albert Einstein
• Beware of the half truth.You may have gotten hold of the wrong half. 
• "Look at yourself from a child's perspective. It's about taking things at face value without preconceived notions. It keeps you grounded in reality rather than stuck in your head and thoughts."

          My favorite quote is the last one on the list which is by Plato. I just discovered it yesterday, but I feel so connected to it, because it speaks the truth about my life. I choose not to talk unless I have something to say, and those around me speak just to hear themselves.
        Anyway  that's all for today. I thought that would be interesting to share. Stay Creative my lovelies, I'll post again soon.
