I Love it!

Today I thought I would start something new. So, I decided this would be the perfect way to share 5 of my favorite, "I love it" things that I find interesting or super cool enough to share with yall'. Here we go!

NUMBER ONE


I am loving the big curl/messy hair style, and the ombre. Zoe is a blogger from Zoella on YouTube is probably my hair envy of the moment. Her hair is always gorgeous!  


NUMBER TWO



Miranda Lambert is one of my favorite singers. Her voice is incredible, and  her songs are always empowering. She does not take anything from anyone. Her new music video for "Mama's Broken Heart" came out recently, and it is hilarious. I love it!! 


NUMBER THREE


One of my love-it items in makeup this week are the Archie's Girl Collection from M-A-C.  I love the theme of the collection, with the opposite of the two color ranges of the makeup, which represent Betty and Veronica. My personal favorite is the Pep-Pep-Pep Creme Nail Polish from the Betty side of the collection.  


NUMBER FOUR

Makeover Strawberry Cake Recipe
My birthday was last weekend, so you know what that means... lots of cake, and yummy desserts! My friends are the opposite of me when it comes to cooking and baking, and are natural pros. So of course I was given many sweet treats. But, my favorite is strawberry cake! And I have to say that has got to be one of my love-its for this week (even though it means extra gym time). 

NUMBER FIVE

Last but definitely not least, is one of my favorite web series of the moment, The Lizzie Bennet Diaries. It is based on the classic novel, "Pride and Prejudice", but set in modern times. Lizzie posts video blogs twice a week, which are adaptations of the happenings in the novel, and perfect little doses of drama to keep you watching. The videos are hilarious, the story is great, and it is a remake of one my favorite books. I love it! If you want to check it out go here. 

I hope yall' like my love-its. They are all really fantastic, and picked them out to share specifically with all of you. Next week I will have some more of my fave 5 love-its. 

See yall' later! <3

I went to do some shopping at Willow Bend for some time with my best friend and sister. We hit up a ton of stores, and I picked up a few things I thought I would show yall’. First, we went to Lush (of course!) and we picked up a few of our favorite bath bombs, and looked at the Easter collection (which was pretty cute too). I picked up a tub of the Ocean Salt- face and body scrub (I will add links for everything at the bottom). We also went to Forever-21, which always has really cheap makeup and nail polishes. Where I got two pink colors, Coral and Light Pink. They have so many colors to choose from and are actually pretty good for a cheap nail polish. I also found a really cute makeup bag that is a mint color, with little French Bulldogs all over it. You can never have too many makeup bags right??
Products: Ocean Salt Face and Body Scrub, $35 (LUSH). The Brightside Bubble Bar, $8.95 (LUSH). Coral Love & Beauty Nail Polish, $2.80 (Forever 21). Light Pink Love & Beauty Nail Polish, $2.80 (Forever 21). French Bulldog Cosmetic Pouch, $6.80 (Forever 21).

Lifescouts!

I heard about this really cool badge system online created by Alex Day (Youtuber) recently. It allows people to earn badges online, or actual badges/pins that you can purchase. They are earned if you have completed one the tasks/activities. Anything from horse-back riding, skydiving, seeing the Mona Lisa, playing chess, or even owning a pet. I like this because you can reblog certain badges that you have actually earned, and acts as a way to tell your stories about each of the badges with your friends and the internet in general. It also encourages people to get out and do the things that they have wanted to do, but maybe not had a reason to do before! If you want to check out Lifescouts, go to lifescouts.com.

So, without further ado, here is one of my badges:

One of those dreams that most little girls share, is getting to have a pony of their own. Do not ask me why, or what makes us think this is a grand idea but, we still want one anyways. Well, my dream finally came true at the age of 12. Even though it technically was not a pony, and it really didn’t qualify as my own, I still count it. My sister and some of our friends went to this ranch for a fall break trip, and had the grand experience of horseback riding. How hard could riding a horse be? I would soon find out. Getting on the horse was hard enough (because of my fun-sized stature) but, the ranchers decided they would take us on a “peaceful” trot through the very rocky, tree-filled path to learn to ride. Because, of me being me, and getting distracted by everything, I was not really listening to all the directions they gave (including how to tell the horse  to speed up/slow down/stop). I was bouncing so much on the horse that it accidentally thought I wanted to speed up, resulting in hitting my head on a nearby tree branch, and my sliding off. So, this resulted in the horse galloping of at a very high pace, while I am upside down holding to the reins, trying not to fall off. Eventually I fell and was miraculously not trampled by the following horses. I is probably a smart conclusion that I will never be attempting horses again.

So, tell me about one of your badges, or go to tumblr and reblog them there! Have fun!

Today marks my 5 year friendaversary with my best friend! We have been through some crazy things, and she is one of the greatest people I have the pleasure of calling my best friend. She was not only there for me during times of excitement or fun, but she also helped me get through many hard times that have also passed. I want to thank her for always being there for me!!

So, to celebrate our fantastic friendship, we go out early to shop, eat some fantastic breakfast at our favorite restaurant, Original House of Pancakes. But, because she is so incredibly awesome, I thought I would get her a present, just because. But, little did I know she got me one too! So that is what I have to share with all of yall’ today.

I got two pairs of stud earrings, the “Pep Pep Pep” nail polish (1), and the Betty Opulash Optimum Black Mascara (2), from the Archie’s Girls collection at MAC. She also gave me a really cool Doctor Who Exploding TARDIS t-shirt(3).

Bastille



This is one of my favorite bands of the moment: Bastille. I was so excited when I heard they were coming to America (Texas too!), but disappointed when I found out that they were playing in Austin when I couldn't go. But, if you live in the Austin, Texas area and want to hear a band with amazing vocals, I would check out Bastille! They are going to be at SXSW, in March on the 13th, 14th and 15th. Their originals are amazing, and have two sets of covers that they recorded (which also integrate famous movie quotes). Their sound is incredible in recording, so they will sound even better live! If you want to listen to some of their music or check out those dates, you can go here. Check em' out!

March On

Who can believe it? It is already March. Personally my favorite month, for many reasons. The official start of Spring, my birthday, warmer weather, and of course St. Patrick's Day! That means wearing lots of green to avoid those pesky little pinchers. So here are some suggestions to avoid getting pinched and still looking cute!

St. Patty's Day


The change in weather from chilly to cool, means a change in wardrobe too! So when spring weather rolls around in March, I like to bring out more skirts and dresses. A cute, plain skirt, or a patterned dress would be cute way to be in the festive spirit, and at the same time add a fun flair. For the nail gurus, finding a great green color to ring in St. Patty's would be perfect. And for those who like to keep it simple (like me), a plain breezy button down, or an adorable pair of green earrings could do the trick! Hope you like these ideas. Happy St. Patty's Day!! 


Details: 1. Swish and Spin Skirt in Green (Modcloth). 2. Essie in Palmetto. 3. Tenki Green Retro Floral Print Peter Pan Collar Dress (Newlook). 4. Chevron Earring Studs (Etsy). 5. Pam Breeze-ly Tunic in Green (Modcloth).
