My Wall Decor 2014

Hey everyone! So recently I just moved into a new house and I want to share what wall decor I have on my walls.

I bought these 3 at Dollar Store for really cheap. I love Chinese and Japanese writing.

I got this at the Dollar Tree $1!!

I am obsessed with Owls right now. I bought these 2 at the Dollar Tree for $1 each.

This is Chloe wall. I put her name and her cards on the wall. Soon I will put drawings and art on the wall.

I got this a couple of years back can't remember where though...

I got this at Chloe baby shower.

I got these two from my grandma. She paints these type of pictures by numbers. I forgot what the brand is called but I love when she gives me paintings and she evens signs them.

The Penguin picture was from my grandma and the bottom I got from Dollar Tree.

"May Love Be The Heart Of This Home" I got this from the Dollar Tree.

This is my favorite dream catcher and it hangs above my bed.

My mom gave me this star dream catcher.

My favorite painting by my grandma!!!

Book Review: Hunger Games Catching Fire #2

What would you do if you were thrown into the hunger games? Would you kill someone to survive?

I finally have finished the second book in the Hunger Games called Catching Fire. I can't remember the last time I did a book review but I am back into reading again so I will be doing more book reviews. I usually read at night after Chloe goes to sleep because I have trouble sleeping anyways. I am currently reading the last book in the Hunger Games Series.

I love the hunger game series! Katniss is brave and strong willed, I don't think I could do what she did to save her family and Peeta. She knew that the right thing to do was to fight and do the right thing.

In this book there is a love triangle between Katniss, Peeta and Gale. Who would you pick if you were Katniss?

Katniss and Peeta thought they are done with the games but are shocked when President Snow announces the Quarter Quell and they are thrown back into the arena and fighting for their lives. Both make a deal with Haymitch... Katniss wants Peeta to be saved and Peeta wants Katniss to be saved. Before they are back in the games the district is over run by capitol troops and Gale is punished for his actions. President Snow threatens Katniss if she doesn't keep up with the romance with Peeta he will take action against her. In the games Katniss and Peeta team up with Finnick and Mags. Mags ends up dying in a poisonous fog.... Later Finnick saves Peeta life and Katniss can't figure out why. Soon they team up with Johanna, Beete and Wiress. They start to figure out that the arena is a big clock with different horrors at each hour like Poisonous fog, Monkeys, blood rain, and Jabberjays that repeat the sounds of their love ones screaming in horror, etc. Wiress figures it out first then Katniss puts the pieces together and warns the others. Beete comes up with a plan to kill off the other victors by using his wire as a electric shock to kill them but his plan doesn't work as he wanted it too. Katniss starts to freak out but then she remembers what Haymitch told her "Remember who the real enemy is" and Katniss puts a arrow into the force field causing it to shatter. Later when Katniss wakes up she finds out that Peeta is being held in capitol, District 12 is destroyed and District 13 is alive and running. 

How do you feel about District 13? Do you think Katniss will get Peeta back and that everything will be okay?

Sneak Peek into book #3: District 13 is very strict. Katniss is being used as a solider and they are waging war against the capitol.

Anxiety Disorder: My Experience + Facts

Hey everyone today I am going to talk about Anxiety disorders because I recently got diagnosed with Generalized Anxiety Disorder. I am going to talk about the definition, symptoms, treatments and also my experience with anxiety.

Disclaimer: I got all my information from WebMD and from My Doctor

What is Generalized Anxiety Disorder?

It's excessive worrying about everyday things and life events for example home, family, money, job, school, etc.

What are the Symptoms:

* Excessive worrying and tension

* unrealistic view of problems

* Restlessness or being edgy

* Irritability

* Muscle Tension

* Headaches

* Sweating

* Difficulty paying attention

* Nausea

* Need to go to bathroom frequently

* Tiredness

* Insomnia

* Trembling or shaking

* Being easily startled

Another symptom is weight loss......

Causes:

* Genetics

* Brain Chemistry

* Environmental factors

Treatments:

* Medication- There are different medications that you can take that will help with anxiety or depression.

* Therapy- Going to counseling or doing stress management like Meditation or Yoga.

My Experience and Treatment:

I think I started having anxiety after I had my daughter Chloe, It got worse when I broke up with her father. I started getting very upset and angry with Chloe father after everything we been through. Anyways I know I need a change so I talked to my doctor and that's when he diagnosed me with Generalized Anxiety Disorder. It's been really hard for me lately and I hated the way I was feeling all the time.... I would get very shaking, upset and angry, annoyed, tired, I lost weight and my insomnia got worse. My doctor prescribed me to take Amitriptyline because it would help with anxiety and weight gain. I take one in the morning and one at night before bed time. My doctor also recommended me to go to counseling to work on my stress and anxiety.

Please don't let your anxiety or depression rule your life!!! Talk to your family, friends or a Doctor about how you feel.
