Hey Pretties! I though I would share with you all my lazy summer morning routine. I hope you like it and I would love to hear from all of you and what are some things you do on a lazy morning in the summer!
Around seven o'clock in the morning I will wake up. First thing I do is go on my phone and check Instagram, twitter and Snapchat and check if I have any messages. (Feel free to follow me on my Instagram https://instagram.com/dancestar96/ and/or my twitter accounts! https://twitter.com/PrettyBooBoo96 (my twitter for when I post) https://twitter.com/JackieDiane96 (my real twitter)
Next, I head downstairs to say good morning to my mom (mt dad is already gone for work) and my dog and cats. And I'll go to the bathroom and then brush my teeth, sometimes put my contacts in and get a drink.
I will then head back upstairs to my bedroom and go on my laptop to watch some YouTube videos and check my blog. I might even post a blog post if I have a good idea planned for the day. I will pretty much just chill out during this time on my laptop and phone checking social media and texting people if they are awake.
Soon after I will head back downstairs and get/make some breakfast. I usually have scrambled eggs and breakfast sausage or an Atkins meal bar if we have any. I'll bring it back upstairs will me and eat it and then just chill out for the rest of the morning.

10 tips to a healthy and long lasting relationship
DISCLAIMER: In no way am I making this blog post because I think I am a professional or I know all the right and wrong things about a relationship. I know I am not and that I do not know all the answers. I just happen to know people pretty well and everything I am going to say is from personal experience or from helping friends through things.
#1. Communication
This is something that is key to have in any relationship. Without Communication there will never be a point where you can be on the same page. You both need to be able to understand how each other feels and how you feel in certain situations. You cant be afraid to open up to each other because in the end, if they can understand and be accepting of your feelings then they are the wrong person to be with.
#2 Trust
This is a very important part of a solid relationship. You need to be able to trust each other. If you don't you will just spend all your time worrying about what the other is doing and who are they with and what could be happening. All you will be able to thing is What If.. and you don't need or want that. A relationship is suppose to be fun and enjoyable and makes you happy not miserable and stressed because you have to worry every waking minute that your not with the other. Make a strong bond and trust them. If there is no trust then your constant stressing and thinking will drive the other crazy and it will be the end of your relationship.
#3 Put the other first
Remember your partner likes to feel special, that they are important to you. Putting them first in certain situations will mean the world to them. It doesn't mean drop all your friends to be fully dedicated every minute to the relationship but remember the other likes the idea that they mean a lot to you and that you think about them and there feelings. Like if they ask you to do something but your group of friends wanted to hang out but you already saw them twice that week and her/him once then tell your friends maybe another time and spend some time with your partner. It will make their day that they are important to you too and not forgotten.
#4 The Little Things
I am sure this can go both ways for guys and girls but I know personally most girls love and appreciate the little things the most. Bringing her flowers once and a while or a random text just telling her how much you care and love her will just make her day. You will see a huge smile on her face for awhile because she will keep reading it and thinking about it. Even a cute good morning/goodnight text will mean so much to her. Doing little things to show her how much you love and care about her will make her very very happy. And I know it can work the same way for guys.
#5 Be Spontaneous
Don't have repetitive dates. make them unique. Go on a picnic or a hike or a park or a walk. There is so many ideas and things you could do. Don;t just do dinner and a movie. Change things up every once and awhile and it will help things from getting boring.
#6 Listening
Beside being able to communicate, you need to be able to listen. If one of you have an issue and want to address it, the other needs to be able to listen and understand where you are coming from and what your saying. If they care about you and you being happy then they should listen to you and want to help to make things better. This will help decrease arguments and fights because if you can not only communicate but also listen and understand then it helps build a string foundation between the two of you.
#7 YOU time
Yes, you love to spend time with the each other but it is also important for you to have your own personally time with yourself or your friends. Spending every waking moment with each other will eventually drive you crazy and just bring out all the flaws and make you not want to be around the other. Things become irritating that way and that s the last thing you want. YOU time is very important. Spend some alone time or some time with your friends.
#8 Comfort/Safety
For a girl, all they want to know is that they are safe with you. That if needed you will be there for them, stick up for them, and protect them. For guys, they want to know they are safe too. That if they give you their all you will be their doing the same. That you will be there for them when they are at their lowest points and be there for them no matter what. You both need each other and it is important that you show that. That in time of need you have each other to count on.
#9 Close/Long distance
In a relationship where you live close or with the person you have a better chance at a long lasting relationship. You see the person all the time and you can touch them and make them feel safe. But you need to be careful that you do not stop having a life and forget about your friends. Just remember the important things about a relationship and your life and you should be good. If t doesn't work out then the person you were with just was not the one.
Long Distance is harder and more work but worth it if the person is the one. In this type of relationship Trust and Communication is very important. Because if you don't have these two things then the relationship will not last long. It is also important to make time to actually call the person and talk on the phone or video chat/facetime them. You need to make a little more effort to make it clear to them that they matter and you care about them.
#10 Be true to yourself
Never let the other person change you. Don't let them decide the person you should be. You are a perfect you. If they can't love you for who you are then you should not be with them. As a couple, you should bring the best u in each other, not spend your time making each other perfect for each other. If they are the right person, they will already think your perfect and love your flaws instead of trying to change them.

My Summer Must Haves!
I have a few summer must haves and I thought I would share them with you all!
Firstly, I think sunglasses are a must! especially with all the time you should be spending outside. The sun is hopefully out a lot and you don't want you ruin a day by complaining the whole time because the sun is in your eyes. And honestly you can get extremely cute sunglasses for less than $10 which is always nice since you need money to be able to do stuff during the summer time.
Another must have is summer treats! I personally love having cold smoothies or getting some fro yo with my friends. Its a cool treat and very yummy to have once in a while. Another yummy treat is frozen berries or grapes. Just pop some in the freezer over night and they become a sweet cold treat for you to have. They are healthy and honestly is a nice candy substitute.
A must have for me is a good book. I am somewhat of a nerd and i love to read. I always try and read a bunch of books during the summer since i am the least busy and stressed. Having book with you when you go to the beach or are just chilling by the book is something great to have. You can just chill and relax and having a little summer playlist or jamming playlist doesn't hurt much either!
I think the little accessories are a must have for me. I love to be the one with cute obnoxious earrings. Especially in the summer because my hair is up a lot since it is hot and I just love to show them off. I also love to have the cute phone case that has sayings on them. I like the attention it draws and how you always get people trying to read it or asking to see it or getting compliments on it. Just the little things can go a long way.
Lastly, I think Color is a must have. When I say color I mean bright, attractive colors through out your cloths, shoes and nails. The bright pop of color will draw peoples attention to you and can change you from being just another person among the crowd or a person that can make a statement when they walk into a room or area.
I hope you enjoyed this post and I would love to hear about your summer must haves!

HI Pretties!
I wanted to start off with saying I'm sorry from being away for a month. I have had a lot on my mind and was just trying to get through some stuff. Things aren't getting much better but I thought it would be good to get into the groove of blogging because I missed it and missed my amazing readers!
I have decided that this time around I will not have a posting schedule. I think that honestly took the fun out of it for me. I just want to post what I want, when I want. I hope you all can understand that and approciate it as well. On top of this all I will try to make my posts more detailed and longer. Put much more into my posts but beware they will be fewer ones then before!
I am honestly really happy to be back at blogging and I have many post ideas! Summer is the best time for some inspiration for writing ideas. I hope I will still have my amazing readers and I can keep growing and gain some new ones.
