I've been to the dentist too many times, so I know the drill...

By Arnia Kiara Oosthuizen

The pun is intended in my title...

Today I used the swear word again. Yes, I went to the dentist again. The most vulgar swear word there is! I was there today and earlier this week, because I had pain in my one tooth.

I cringe every single time, I have to visit the dentist, because since my braces come off when I was 12, I had non-stop problems with my teeth! I am not going to go into details but it was one problem after the other.

This week, I had pain in one of my teeth under my crown. Turns out my bite is way too high and it causes stress on my teeth, so I will be getting a bite retainer. OH, THE JOY! (pffffft!)

I thought some teeth quotes would be nice to cheer everyone up with teeth problems or just to make you thankful that you don't have teeth problems!

Quotes about teeth:

I wish you a toothache-free year and that you will always keep your teeth pearly white! Be true to your teeth and they will never be false to you!

Stop complaining and start changing

By Arnia Kiara Oosthuizen

Millennium Lady is on her soapbox again.

STOP COMPLAINING AND START CHANGING!!! 

If you say that your life is chaos or crappy. If you complain of things not going your way. Guess what? It is your fault. Yep, you heard me. IT IS YOUR FAULT! Not mine nor your parents, who abused you or who mistreated you. You decide how you lead your life after the bad times. You decide how your day is gonna be and whether or not your boss is gonna get you down.

Why is Millennium Lady on her soapbox again? Because all around me people are complaining of the crappy relationships they are in or always complaining of their lives being chaos. The same people are complaining of the same circumstances for years. Your friends' and my ears are tired of listening to the record player on repeat. Please choose a new album.

You are the one who can change your circumstances and your outlook on life. And I'm going to throw in my life quote: "Happiness is an inside job" and so is everything else! 

Stop complaining and start changing!

Painting for holiday fun

By Arnia Kiara Oosthuizen

What do you do when you get bored? You get creative (sometimes).

This year, I will have my own room at my residence and it will be a lot bigger, so I need to decorate it with more things. But decorations are expensive and not exactly what I want, therefore I decided to buy and paint my own decorations with my favorite color: Blue, especially turquoise.

My word for 2015

By Arnia Kiara Oosthuizen

Words are very powerful things, therefore I like to pick a word each year to live by. I strongly believe that if I make that choice to live by the word then it will happen in that year.

My word for 2014 was Happiness and 2014 was a truly happy year for me. I constantly made the choice to be happy and make the best of everything. My quote for 2014 was "Happiness is an inside job", it will also be my quote for life.

My word for 2015 is ADVENTURE! Yes, I want to have adventures this year. It will be my last year as a student and I want to enjoy every single moment of it.

I will say 'YES' to every opportunity to have an adventure and to just have fun. I will also have to work very hard, but I will aim for adventure every day.

Also, happy New Year to all my faithful blog readers and to the new ones! I hope you all have a year filled with happiness and adventure. So here's to 2015 that is going to be an adventure!

What is your word for 2015?
