What Kind of Facebooker Are You?


If you are like me, Facebook is part of your daily life. In observing people on Facebook, I've realized that most people fall into one of these categories. What kind of Facebooker are you?

Like Threateners
These are the people who love posting pictures that have a ridiculous caption that threatens you if you don't  like it. For instance, a picture of a baby with the caption "like if you think this baby is cute, ignore if you want the baby to die" or a picture of Jesus with the caption "like if you love Jesus, ignore if you want to go the hell" haha!!

Trackers
These people find it imperative  to share their day with you step by step. Every place they go, they check in. Everything they eat, they share a picture. They let you know about every single interaction they had and how they felt about it. 

Ghosts
You never see that they are online, but they are there. looking, watching…but never leaving a trace of their existence.

Crusaders
Always on a crusade about something. Informing, Online Picketing, Ranting, Shaming, Pushing, Informing…passionately about something and everything. Usually there is a long thread of comments of people who either totally agree, or totally disagree. Crusaders like controversy and love a Facebook fight!

Dear Diary Writiers
These people seem to think that Facebook is their personal diary. Disclosing anything and everything. Usually in a "woe is me" sort of tone, hoping for some sort of comfort, concern or pity from anyone who might give it to them.

Taggers
They tag you in everything. Whether or not you were there, in the picture or have to do with what they are doing. You're tagged.

Bumper Sticker Collectors
These Facebookers love sharing EVERY single picture, quote, ecard that they find online. I mean, E V E R Y single one!

Vague Venters
These people love to complain…vague enough to deny they were talking about you, specific enough to know they were talking about you. c'mon people. If you have a problem, don't post it on Facebook! grow up and talk to the person… and as entertaining it is for us to watch, it also gets annoying.

News Reporters
Buzzfeed, Huffington Post, Yahoo news. Any article they read… they gotta share it. They just gotta!

Negative Nancy
Negative about their job, kids, husband, wife, mom, neighbor, shirt, coffee, weather. Whatever they post about, rest assured…it's going to be negative. 

Investigators
I'm guilty. I Facebook snoop and investigate all the time. c'mon, you do it too…admit it! You snoop through peoples pictures, friends, click click click and click some more…you know the low down about everything and everyone. Who's dating who, who is doing what. You know way more than you should…and you like it. You just have to be careful not to disclose information that you know they didn't tell you! haha!

I wrote these in fun, but I heard something once that really stuck with me. Facebook is a highlight reel of your life. You share what you want to share, and show what you want to show about yourself. If someone who doesn't know you were to scroll through your Facebook, what would it say about you?
I hope people would see that I love God, my family and don't get caught up in nonsense. 
None of the above are "bad", just remember…that YOU get to choose what you show to people, choose wisely!

FITNESS Update & Fabletics Haul



At my heaviest on my left, pregnant with baby #1. I told the doctor if I got to 200lbs not to tell me… she told me i was 199lbs and winked at me. soooo…..  who knows how much I weighed!! 
on the right is me now at 143lbs and 4 kids later!


I told myself after I lost 20 lbs postpartum with baby #4 I would buy myself new sneakers. 
Got these Reebok sneakers at Nordstrom Rack. So much more comfy than the Nike's I kept trying on and way cheaper!


 I posted the above pictures a couple of days ago on instagram and first off I have to say THANK YOU!!!  I didn't feel like I had made as much progress as I had and your encouraging words really motivate me to keep on going. I am excited to see how healthy I can be!

There are so many factors that go into getting healthy, but I cannot believe that after 4 kids and about to turn 35 I am healthier than I have ever been!

Here is my update video and fabletics haul!

 

A big part of it is motivation, I definitely feel like you can't force it… and it can't be coming from other people. You need to find it within yourself. Decide that you are worth it, and go for it. (maybe that is why it took me so long!)


get your first outfit 50% off and get free shipping! (click the link above to get your outfit!)


Rio Run Capri and Oula Tank 
I got both of them in a size M, I have to say the pants are a bit snug on the belly, but it is motivation to lose that last big of flab. For reference, I am 5'10" 


Ok but seriously, first time I have ever seen any sort of definition on my arms!! wooohoo!!


Salar Legging and Oula Tank

Turn Any Scarf into a Kimono Vest


The other day I saw this video clip on Facebook and my mind was blown. Such an easy way to repurpose a scarf! I tried scrolling through my history to find it and I couldn't find it, so I thought I'd film it real quick to show you. If you are like me and you have piles of scarves, hope this helps!

Sally Hansen Color Foil Nailpolishes


So in love with these Sally Hansen color foil nail polishes. You can't quite see how chrome like they are in person, but they are gorgeous. 
I have a question though, why do all metallic polishes wear down so fast? I wish I could find a way to make them last longer, or a top coat that didn't change the finish of them. If you know, let me know!


Happy Tag!

I was tagged to do this tag and I absolutely loved sharing! Some times I think we need to make a conscious effort to remind ourselves that there is so so so much to be thankful for.  
Hope you enjoy hearing 10 things that make me happy!
xoxo, Jeannie
