My Favorite Inspirational Talks

I watch motivational Ted Talks and spoken word YouTube videos whenever I get the chance. I find them to be very inspiring. Though once we get inspired, we must act on our inspiration! I’ve put together some of my favorite videos and I hope you like them just as much as I do!

Brene Brown: The Power of Vulnerability

One of my all-time favorite Ted Talks is Brene Browns the power of vulnerability. This is something most of us struggle with.  There is

Brene Brown breaks being vulnerable into these next four things. “Letting ourselves be seen, deeply seen, vulnerably seen”- let people see what you may think as the bad things in your life, as well as the good. “Loving with our whole heart, even though there is no guarantee”-;“Practice gratitude and joy”- learning to appreciate everything in life, the good and bad, is so important. “Believe that you are enough”- because you are enough, your worth is in Jesus.

Amy Cuddy: Your Body Language May Shape Who You Are

This is one of my favorite Ted Talks, because body language is important. The way you carry yourself says a lot about you and the kind of person you are. She talks about how if you change your posture for two minutes, into a more powerful posture, you will feel better. Your posture depicts your mood. So, if you want to change your mood, change your posture. I often find myself doing the power pose without even thinking about and it actually works! Its become natural for me, haha!

Prince EA: Everybody Dies, But Not everybody lives

This video leaves me speechless every time I watch it!! In this video, Prince EA talks about how people can get to the end of their life and regret not doing the things they wanted to do when they were younger! This video truly makes you think. We know everyone is going to die, but are you truly living the life you are intended to be living. What passion did Jesus give you? If you aren’t living it out, why aren’t you?

Clayton Jennings: Where Are You Going?

Clayton Jennings is one of my favorite spoken word YouTubers! I am sharing this video because it is one of the first I watched by him a couple years ago. relationship with rather than religion. His question in this video is “where are you going?” He lays it out very simply for us, at the end of our life we are either going to heaven or hell. Where you are going depends on your relationship with Jesus Christ. It doesn’t matter if you are religious or not, what matters is your relationship with God. When people say they are religious it makes them feel good, they think they are doing something right. When in reality all the Jesus wants us to do is recognize Him for all He has done for us.

I hope you check out my favorite inspirational talks! Thanks Yvanne for collaborating with me!!

DIY No Sew T-Shirt Tote Bag

I was cleaning out my closet the other day and noticed that i had a lot of old T-shirts i barely wear anymore. Instead of letting them sit in my closet with no purpose, i thought i would re-purpose some of them.

As per usual, I went on Pinterest and typed of bunch of stuff until i came across a couple no sew DIYs which looked easy enough. I decided to try the t-shirt tote bag and i think it turned out okay. Plus it only took about 10 mins to make.

If you would like to recycle an old t-shirt into a cute tote bag, here's how:

What we'll need:

- One t-shirt (preferably a thicker fabric) 

-A pair of scissors
-A marker (optional)

Instructions:

#1- Cut the sleeves off your t-shirt.

#2- Cut the bottom of the shirt however long you want them. Mine was cut about the length of my index finger, maybe more.

#4- Stretch each strips down

#5- Cut the neck line a little deeper. You can use a marker to mark where you're going to cut so your curve isn't disproportional like mine is.

#6- Tie the front and back strips twice. After tying each pair, you will probably notice the small holes in-between the pairs.  What i did to close those gaps, was to tie the left and right strips between those holes in double knots.

#7- Now you have a homemade tote bag you can use to the beach or the grocery store.
