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

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!
