Snow Day's Still A Work Day

 Motivation is legit one of the hardest things to overcome sometimes. As I've started off the new year, I have made what you would call a "new years resolution ". I wasen't expecting it to be as much work as what it turned out to be. I had set myself a goal. A goal that was personalized to fit what kind of results I wanted to see. I've always loved my workout sessions and thriving on the court, with my second love-basketball. Today was a bit different. Since I live in Canada, we have snowstorms, it's not at all uncommon.  I had planned to go to the gym to practice my freethrows, positions, and handles. I had woken up feeling like a complete zombie. Lacking motivation to even get out of bed. Have you ever had those days? Today was that day for me. Knowing I had this goal set out for me and having nothing but the intention to follow through, I dragged myself out of bed. I threw on some sweats and headed to the gym. Still feeling a little dead, I proceeded to stretch and get on the court. After a few shots for warm up, I felt a little more awake. This hadent been the only occasion I had felt the lack of motivation, there had been days previous to it too. Nevertheless, I was there. I was keeping the hustle even though I would have rather been sitting at home binge watching Gilmore Girls, covered with a blanket, snacking on some ice cream, I wasen't. These are the days I feel extra accomplished. Sure it was cold, snowy and wet but that fact I went made the difference. Whatever it is you are struggling to find motivation to do- a new year's resolution, scoring great on a test or a game or finally nailing a recipe, know you CAN do it. Having a positive mindset is the key to it all. Tackle that goal!! You got this.

If Life's A Movie, Where's The Popcorn?

Have you ever heard someone say "life is like a movie, you just sit back and enjoy the show"? Well, I sure have. I remember a number of years ago I was at a local theatre only to walk in and see a line for the consession stand all the way to both doors. Ugh, who wants to wait in line that long? Not me! So I proceeded into the theatre to find my seat ..without any snacks. I'm all for going to see movies in the theatres but who goes in without a snack?! Apparently I did. As I sat down all I could think about was munching on some popcorn and drinking a cold pop. I was irritated but it beat standing in line for forever. Soon enough, the lights began to fade and people started to quiet , the movie was starting. I don't think even a happy meal from McDonalds could have lightened my mood. So after about 2 hours of sitting watching a movie-without a snack, it was over. I was hungry, annoyed and just so done with the consession stand workers (even though they did nothing), sou...

Introducing Me!

Hey Everyone! Welcome to My Blog. My name is Abby, and I'm 17 years old. I have always thought the idea of having a blog would be so neat. From the bloggers who over ecstatically give bits and pieces to the well, hacks of life to the ones who use it as an outlet to realease their most transparent thoughts. Hate to break the ice this way, but I'm neither. I think that digging deep into how we genuinely feel and acknowledging that No, we're not perfect and Yes, we will be thrown curveballs in life is completely ok. As I thought of what to name my blog, I had some rather strange ideas, such as : popcorntobutter , like what does that even mean?! It finally came to me. I chose to name it Diamonds Pearls And Problems because let's face it, life is certainly not glitter and diamonds all the time. This blog is aimed mainly towards the attention of women,  but can be for anyone. We all have those questions in life, the ones we never seem to get answers to. Ya know , the ones th...

Hey, I'm Back

Hey ya'll. I firstly want to apologize for this INSANELY late post, life has been...SUPER busy, and SUPER dramatic to say the least. A lot has happened since the last time I was on here. So, where to start? weeelll, my life has been nothing short of complicated. I started this incredible new life here at KU, and am loving it here, though homework load is slowly crushing my every inch of sanity. Oh, yeah I broke up with my ( ex) boyfriend of two and a half years, guess that's recent. Why did I do this, you ask? I had known for a long time that we were not meant to be together, maybe for a short time, but I knew we were not supposed to be together forever. Yeah, that was hard. I had a lot of support through it, though. My parents offered a lot of support, my best friend, and some friends from school. One in particular really was/is a huge help and support, not sure how I would have gotten through this without him, not to sound overdramatic or anything, but really that's the t...
