I am trying to balance my life more. It is important to have balance in all areas of life including health, family, work, recreational, and spiritual. We must not neglect any area, but strive for balance in order to live a full happy life.

Organize Time
We all only have 24 hours in a day, but with smart time management our lives will be more balanced. Set monthly, weekly, daily, and hourly goals and stick to them. Write down your goals in a planner, which I need to do more of, instead of in my head. Writing down the to-do lists really does help keep you on track. We all have to do things we don’t want to do and may put them off. If we can conquer those things first, then we can spend more time on more important things that we do enjoy.

Roll with the punches
Sometimes life does throw us obstacles and we must flow with the rhythm of life. Some days we may only be able to concentrate on one area, and that is okay, but then quickly get back into balance on the other days. No one is perfect and we must give ourselves some slack sometimes.

Be positive
Negative self talk can be very damaging to a happy life. We should all strive to meet our goals, despite our worst critic, ourselves. Why do we say bad things about ourselves that we would never say to our friends? It has to stop. I am training my brain to think positive thoughts always. Never say, “I can’t,” because “can’t” never did anything. :)

Have a blessed balanced day!
Remember aim for progress, not perfection.

I just want to let you all know that the BluFrog contest ends next Friday on July 17th, so hurry up and enter if you haven’t yet. Check out the sweepstakes page for the rules at ItsaBluWorld.com. The grand prizes consist of a trip to New York for New Years, the ultimate gamer package, a trip for the Lolapalloza concert in Chicago, a Richard Petty racing experience, or a trip to the Winter X Games in Aspen!

I blogged before that I wanted to win a trip to New York! How awesome would that be! I hope one of us wins, let me know if you win! Just keep on entering the sweepstakes. One day you and I will win big, it is only a matter of time.

You can also make money with BluFrog energy drinks, just watch the video below for some tips for extra cash in your pocket!




I have never tried the BluFrog energy drinks, but I could use one right now. You know how the afternoons get to ya. Well, I just checked out the ingredients of the BluFrog energy drinks at their website and they are some wildly healthy energy drinks. One reason I do not drink energy drinks too often is because of all the calories and sugar. Well, BluFrog has only 68 calories and 17 grams of sugar in a 8.3fl oz. can, which is about half the amount of what is in other energy drinks! Plus, BlueFrog has lots of antioxidants, and we all know how antioxidants are great for your skin and overall well-being. I think I want to live in a Blu world right now, drinking some BluFrog please! :)

Having a positive happy outlook on life no matter the circumstances is important to living a full happy life. We all go through storms in our lives, especially now with the economy and all the bad news. I say stop watching the news so much, remember bad news is the only news to them.

The pursuit of happiness. We all strive to be happy in life and it is mostly our attitude. I have talked about living a positive life on Femme Façade in the past, but I think it is important to repeat. I struggle with it and there are too many depressed people out there and drugs are not always the answer, which is another thing. I think there are too many drug companies pushing their drugs to make money and making us feel that there is always something wrong with us.

I read the article, In Pursuit of a Happiness Gene, today and "Prof. Yoram Barak of Tel Aviv University's Sackler School of Medicine is engaged in the "attempt to find the happiness gene, the genetic component of happiness," which may be 50% responsible for an optimistic outlook." Can you believe there is a happiness gene!? Hmm…I think it is partly true, but I don’t know about 50%. We do get some of our personality from our parents. And how we are raised affects our attitudes, however in the end it is up to us and our choice on whether to be happy or bitter in every situation.

Choose happiness. Our thoughts are very powerful. We are made up of mostly energy. Think positive thoughts and send out good energy. Send out good vibes in order to receive good vibes back. Focus on succeeding and being happy, do not have a doubt. And don’t forget to turn to the God of peace, for His peace transcends all understanding. (Philippians 4:7)

"May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit." (Romans 15:13)

I have been shopping for jeans today at Armani Exchange and playing sweepstakes! They are having a sale on premium jeans for only $98! And they give you free shipping if you spend $100 or more! Take a look at the three pairs of jeans I have picked out. I like the dark wash, if you can’t tell. :) I think it makes you look slimmer and you can always wear the dark wash for a night on the town.


Here is a Boot Cut. I prefer Boot Cut over straight leg or skinny jeans because it makes your body look more proportional. And boot cut looks good on short girls that have some curves, which is me.


I thought these little Harem jeans are really cute for summer time. Of course I put a nice crisp zipper up blouse with all of them. I think the white blouse and matching white Armani purse are super cute too, but we are focusing on jeans here. Jeans.


And then look skinny jeans! I know I just contradicted myself, I don’t like skinny jeans, but these ones have a flare and I thought that don’t look that skinny. What do you all think of these jeans?


A deal Armani is offering through July 19th is a gift card of $20 dollars off a $100 purchase when you buy a pair of jeans at full price!

The best part of all is that Armani Exchange is having a sweepstakes that just started today! Throughout the month of July you can win a pair of jeans! All you have to do is text A|X: DENIM2" to ARMANI (276264). Click the text link for info and the rules. It looks like you have to receive texts from Armani 3 times this month, but that also means you get to enter up to 3 times this month! And one person wins a pair of jeans everyday of July!

Happy sweeping and happy shopping!
