The iPod Shuffle Challenge!

Hii everyone(: - I saw this on YouTube a long time ago and I never got around to finally doing it. So basically, you shuffle your iPod 5 times and talk about each song that's on your iPod, why you like it, what it means to you, etc. You all know that I absolutely LOVE music, so guess what? I thought I would do this fun little challenge!1. Speak Now by Taylor Swift- I think this one is a fun upbeat song about when your boyfriend tells you he has a new girlfriend, and you regret breaking up with him? Or if someone's getting married, and you're against it, and at the wedding you speak up. Like Hanna did in PLL episode 2x12!
2. Breathe by taylor Swift - It's kind of funny that I'm getting like all Taylor Swift songs...lol but I really like this song, it's a great slower song about having to say goodbye to someone you love. I've been faced with that situation before and I really really like it.
3. Viva la Vida by Coldplay - I'm addicted and obsessed to this one. I actually just recently "discovered" this one. But it's very catchy and upbeat. What is it about? This one, is confusing me. I suppose I would say that it's maybe about heroes or enemies. Fighting with your enemy - yes, that would be how I interpret it.
4. If You Can Afford Me by Katy Perry - This one, I really like and this one is also, catchy and fun and upbeat. To me, this song is about a highmaintence girl and she requires of her boyfriends! I like it though, it's really good and has a great tune!
5. F**kin' Perfect by P!nk - I really like this one. It's, to me, very inspirational and one of P!nk's best friends. I see it as a girl who's been tormented with cruel words her whole life. If I had to pick a song to stand up against bullying, this would for sure be it. I love this one(:

Okay, so that's it for my iPod shuffle challenge...I hope you all liked the songs that came uppp...

*I kind of cheated. But that's only because a song came up that I didn't even know was on my iPod and I haven't gotten a chance to even listen yet. Bwahaha.*

Wearing White After Labor Day... The DOs and DON'Ts

Hi everyone, lately, there has been a lot of talk on Yahoo and on fashion blogs on wearing white after Labor Day and whether you're "supposed to" and how to wear white and what colors to wear with white after Labor Day and so forth. Hopefully this blog post will help you if you're trying to decided what to do! Honestly, I don't see what the big deal is with the whole no white after LD thing. White is a color, like any other color. Yes, white may have a summery feel to it, but I don't see what's wrong, not wearing it afterward. And as I just mentioned, white is commenly known as more of a summer color when it comes to clothing. Well, technically, summer does not end until September 21st on the Autumnal Equinox. Not that that really matters...unless you wanted to get technical. But generally, I would say, where what you want! What do other people care? Girls at my school wear white after LD all the time! So a defnite do: Wear what you want. If you want to where white there's no one stopping you! However, I do not reccomend wearing white excessively as you might wear denim. If you really want to go ahead, I'm not saying you can't. Personally, that's what I go by as far as bottoms go, like shorts, jeans, capris/crops, etc. But for tops, I really don't pay attention, I wear white tops all the time, I don't, like I said, I don't pay attention when it comes to white tops. I actually think that white is most people's most flattering color. Especially when worn o top. White bottoms, however, are a different story with me. Maybe, every now and then I will wear white on the bottom, but usually no, because really, the only white bottoms I own are a pair of really short shorts. So generally I avoid those in the winter months, lol. But basically, that's it. I really don't know who started this strange fashion "rule" - don't feel you have to always follow these fashion "rules" - I don't see the point of them! Wear what you want! So if you want to wear white after Labor Day, I do, my friends all do, so by al means go ahead :)

Lady Antebellum "Own the Night"

Okay, so one of my favorite bands of all time, well, probably my favorite band of all time, is releasing a new album on Tuesday September 13th, called Own the Night and I am really really excited to check out this album. Lady Antebellum posts preview clips of each song on their YouTube, so check it out at http://www.youtube.com/LadyAntebellum so check it out! So far, four songs have been released on iTunes that will be on this amazing album - Just a Kiss, We Owned the Night, Dancin' Away With My Heart, and, most recently, Wanted You More. I really really like them all they are definitely still #1 on my list of top bands. All of these songs are mazing, Hillary and Charles and Dave are all very talented. I definitely noticed the instrumentals in all of their sons which is very unusual because I usually don't pay attention to things like that. But I love them! I really do love love love all of the songs I've heard they are some of the best Lady A songs yet! I will definitely be purchasing the album on Tuesday morning ASAP. Their songs are really addicting and Wanted You More is actually stuck in my head right now, hahaha. I really really love all of these songs and I think they are totally amazing, and as you can probably tell, I am very very excited for the release of this album! To go to the official website, the page on this CD, please click here: http://ladyantebellum.com/media/music/own-night This album, like I said is so so so AMAZING! And I really hope you all check it out! Now here is one of their songs, We Owned the Night, one of my favorites:)

That New Nail Trend.

So maybe you've noticed, but there's this new trend that's really in. (Well, obviously, because it's a trend lol) but I tried it out and I really like it. It would be painting your ring fingers one bold color, usually a metallic color or a glittery color or like a super bright color, and then all of your other nails a solid color that doesn't look much like the color on your ring finger, yet it still goes. There was an article in J-14 magazine about this trend recently and I've seen it on a few celebrities. I actually decided to try it out and I did my ring fingers with Sally Hansen's X-treme Wear Nail Polish in Rockstar Pink, and all my others I did them in Nicole by OPI Miss Independent. Rockstar Pink is a multicolor glitter color with blue and pink glitters, yet it is not sheer after a few coats like most other glitters would be. Miss Independent was made to look like you had metal on your nails, this is why it is in the Liquid Metals collection. It's a super pretty pink silver color, and it's really light and I think it would be flattering on all skin tones and types. This trend is very pretty, I've also seen it with like that bright, perfect-for-summer-pedicures pink with a metallic gold, such as Nicole by OPI's The Next CEO, on the ring finger. This is a super pretty look for anytime, and I am in love with it I hope you guys will try out this nail trend. thanksss<3

Book Talk: Never Have I Ever

Hi everyone. So I was thinking I would do a Book Talk on my YouTube about the books in the Pretty Little Liars series. Well I wanted to do a book talk on my blog too, but for the book Never Have I Ever, which just came out on August 2nd and is the second book in the Lyiong Game series, a series written by the same author, Sara Shepard, that wrote Pretty Little Liars, which is, as I'm sure you know, is by far my absolute favorite. But anyway, I just recently got this book a few days before school started on September sixth. So, technically I guess I should wait until I finish the book, but I really really really really love the book and I really really really really wanted to just do it now because I'm super excited about it, as you can probably tell, hahaha.Like I said, this is the second book in this series, the first one is just called The Lying Game, and I actually did a book talk on my YouTube, so you can go check that one out. I definitely think that this second book is much better than the firstone, not the the first one wasn't good, it's just that this one is so so much better. I still love the first one though. But basically, I'm going to say in advance, this will have spoilers in it, if you haven't read the book yet and/or don't want to spoil this for yourself, you do not have to read it! But anyway, here goes: So, I'm not going to give a full complete description of every little thing that happens, just some of the basics, if you want a longer more detailed description of the plot, youcan Google it, I'm sure you'll be able to find a longer plot description more than once. But basically, the story pretty much starts where it left off inThe Lying Game, Emma still looking for her twin sister Sutton's muderer. Ethan, and also Sutton's killer, are the only ones that know she's actually Emma rather than Sutton. So, basically the important things would be that there was a train prank, where Sutton, when she had been alive, and made the car "break down" on the train tracks with a train about to come. Gabby, one of the "Twitter Twins" ended up in the hospital. Now, both Emma, and also a dead Sutton, who is narrating, think that the Twitter Twins, Gabby and Lili, are Sutton's killers. Sutton and Ethan find out that Gabby and Lili have secret Twitter accounts, @gabbyponybaloney and @misslilytallywhacker - idk if those are real or not. But they seem to be talking about what might of been Sutton's murder. Emma and Etthan also discover that there was a sleepover, where Nisha and also Gabby and Lili were on the night that Sutton, assumably, disappeared. So when Emma, Madeline, Charlotte, Laurel, Gabby, and Lili go on a camping trip, Gabby and Lili play a prank on "Sutton" which makes Emma believe she killed Gabby, the prank is as revenge for the train prank. It is revealed that Gabby and Lili probably had nothing to do with Sutton's mrder. Also, when "Sutton" goes to pick up her car after it is fixed because of the train prank, someone had already checked it out. Oh, and Emma and Ethan end up kissing. So basically, yes, I realize I left quite a few things out, but, those are a few of what I think are the most important. I rally do like this book. It's interesting and I'm like, addicted to it lolll. I really do love it though, it's super good, if you're interested in this, I reccomend reading the first book first, oviously, it might make more sense, lol. But like I said, I really enjoyed the book and if you read it then I really hope you enjoy it as much as I did. Thank you for reading this post! xoxo<3

My Favorite Stores!

Hi everyone, today I decided to pick my top three fvorite stores to shop for clothes, and talk to you about why I like them and their clothes! This is in a random order.
1. Abercrombie - I always love the classic, prettystyle of everything Abercrombie. I personally find the fit (usually) very flattering and everything always has the prettiest details and patterns and there are so many cute things there. The price is a little bit more expensive than shopping at like Target, but everything is really pretty and cute and I definitely think that it is worth it.
2. Forever 21 - Everything at Forever 21 is really really pretty and girly yet super inexpensive. Meaning, you can feel pretty without spending a ton of money on things you don't need to spend that much money on! Forever 21 sells a ton of different styles of clothing, and also pretty jewelry! I personally love the rings there which are really really inexpensive yet still really pretty.
3. Victoria's Secret Pink - Yes, I've blogged about this one, and I know I'm getting kind of obsessed. Yes, I understand I only have six things from there, but I love them. First off, I absolutely love the color pink, and the style of the store, I love going in there. So far, the things I've gotten have been super great quality, although the price is kinda high. The underwear there all really comfortable in cute patterns and I really like them. The tote bags are perfect for a school bag and t-shirts are always a must!Super awesome store.

Thank you for reading this and I'll talk to you guys later! xoxo

Back to school...my thoughts and opinions!

Hi everyone! I haven't blogged in almost a week, and that would be because on Tuesday I went back to school. I never mentioned, but last weekend I went on vacation so then after that I had to unpack and get ready for school, I couldn't blog Tuesday because I had some homework, Wednesday was my sisters dance class and I had to write a paper on the qualities of a good student, yesterday was Thursday, I had my dance class, then I had to go to like an hour and a half of community service because its required where I live at the age I am. And I havento go back later tonight and also tomorrow morning. Sigh. Well anyway, I wanted to tell you some of my opinions on my new school year and what's been going on and basically just an update. So, I went to school Tuesday it was raining so I didn't end up wearing my dress. I'll get to that outfit later. But basically, I really miss last year. I had all my friends on my team, the best teachers ever, a few friends in my homeroom, a, um, crush. That maybe sorta likes me back. And all that fun stuff. This year is a lot different. I do like some of my teachers, mainly just my algebra teacher, history teacher, and French. My science teacher is really annoying and her class is boring. I'm in her homeroom. And it SUCKS. So, basically, I have no friends in my homeroom, so when she let's us talk basically I just sit there like a friendless loser. Sigh. Then my English teacher, he is gonna make us read Mac Beth. BLAH. And he's making me sit with this kid that doesn't exactly have the best hygiene habits if you know what I mean? Sigh. I really miss last year. At least I have a few classes with some of my friends and we have the same lunch luckily. I think that I won't like school as much as last year. Like last year I LOVED school. Like once my mother wanted to go on a day trip so she tried to convince me to skip school. I actually put up a fight to go to school. And it wasn't like the trip would've sucked or anything... There was a Vera Bradley outlet there. Sigh. But basically I want to go back to last year.

✿ Taylor Swift Song Quotes ✿

Hi everyone, I was looking through some of my old posts, and my most viewed post so far is my Lady Antebellum Song Quotes post that I did a while ago. I personally am a music-aholic, and I believe there is a song foe every situation. There are some of those days where you just wanna sit back, put your earphones in and scream FTW. I totally am like that, and love music so much. So today, well, tonight, I thought I'd blog some quotes by another one of my favorite artists, which would be, of course, Taylor Swift. Since a lot of people seemed to be loving the ten Lady A quotes, I thought it would be nice to do twenty-five T Swift song quotes. These will be from any song, the quotes may be long or short, they are in a random order, there may be 2+ quotes from each song! One of these isn't actually a TS quote, but it's song by someone else that features her.

Back to School: Fun Pencils/Pens

Hi everyone. So last year, I did a school supply video showing you all of the school supplies I had bought. Well, I got a lot of comments on my channel and on that video talking about one of the pencils I had mentioned and loved I also got some on this other video that I mentioned them in. I've recently been watching other YouTube videos talking about back to school supplies and organization, and apparently, these pencils are quite popular. Personally, these are my favorites, these are the only pencils I'll use, with the exception of a regular #2 pencil on things like Scantron and tests like that. But if I have to use pencil, for example, I know sometimes you're required to use pencil in math. Last year pencil wasn't required but the year before that it was, and this was the pencil I used. This pencil is absolutely amazing. I bought a two pack of these in the beginning of the year. I used these pencils a lot, and with the purchase of one lead refill thing, as it already comes with one, these pencils lasted me the entire year. They are very strong, sturdy, and definitely long lasting pencils, that come in fun colors and are easy to use. They feature a fun jumbo twist up eraser, which actually lasted me for the whole year last year. If you do a ton of erasing it may not, but for me it did and always has as I don't do a lot of erasing, and I did use pen about 40% of the time. This has a very comfortable grip as long as a button in an easy to reach location on the pencil that pushes more of the lead out. This requires 0.7mm lead and like I said, very pretty colors, super long lasting, different from other mechanical pencils, the main reasons I really like this one.These would be the Papermate ClearPoints, and they are a bit more expensive, but considering that they lasted me all year, I definitely think these are worth the price!!! Another thing would be pens, and the pens I use, I have to have five different colors. I have seven perids throughout a school day, lunch and study, a related arts class, nd five core classes, and for those I like to have a different colored pen for each. I really like the Papermate Gel Pens. They are $5 for a pack of five at Target in all different colors. they write extremely smoothly and the ink dries relatively fast compared to other gel pens I have tried, which is great if you're looking for a gel pen that won't smudge. This comes in two different packs - the one I got had light blue, purple, pink, green, and orange. I really do think that not oly do colors make the paper you're writing or studying more interesting to lookit, but they also help me to stay organized. Also, these pens are pretty good if you want something that won't bleed through your paper. Check out http://www.papermate.com/Pages/products/gel-pens.aspx for more information on them! I also like to keep a Sharpie in my bag at all times. this year I actually have a metallic ine but any darker color will work. Ise this to label things - the sides of my binders, book covers, etc! I absolutely love shopping for school supplies and things like this - it's very fun! thanks for reading this, I hope you'll try out these amazing writing utensils. If you've tried anything, leave a comment below, or you could leave a comment if you have any additional reccomendations. xoxo(:

Back to School: What's In My School Bag? And Organization Tips!

Hi everyone! I'm so so so excited for school to start. I actually like seriously legit do love school, for three reasons, mainly - it gives me a chance to get out of the house, rather than sit there all day, I get to see my friends, and, of course, SHOPPING. That would be, clothes shopping, but also, something else I have a secret obsession with, is school supply shopping. As soon as I saw glamourista16's video on YouTube, I decided that I absolutely totally had to do this video. I'm going to wait until after I start school though so I can show you what's in my bag after school has started and during the school year, and I want to be able to show you like, some of my notes and point out a few tips I reccomend trying in order to have the best school year yet. But, if you didn't know, I am a total shopaholic, meaning, I love shopping for just about anything. There are a few exceptions, but school supplies and fun things like that are definitely not one! I cannot wait to do this video, but for now, I'm going to give you guys some tips and tricks I've found help me have a very successful year. Oh, and I'm going into my last year of Middle School, for anyone wondering. But these are just some tips that worked for me, they are miscellaneous - some hacve to do with studying, some have to do with tests/quizzes, some have to do w homework, using your time wisely, etc. etc. etc. So, here goes...♥ Note Taking: Take your notes for each class in different colors. In the beginning of the year, assign each class a color, say, French is pink, Algebra is Orange, etc. It makes studying so much more interesting, at least for me, because I'm not staring at a page full of boring old pencil. Also, it helps you stay organized - you know what's what!
♥ Organization: Similar to that above tip, color coordination really helps you stay organized. For example, get like a purple binder, notebook, folder, and pens for say, History, and it'll make it easy when it comes time to go to that class, you'll know exactly what you have and what you need!
♥ Homework: Never, ever procrastinate. It's always best to start working on homework and projects the day they're assigned. Say you have a huge project, due in two weeks. If you're a procrastinater and wait until the day before, the project will most likely turn out much worse than it could've been, causing your grades to, after a while, drop significantly, which is never good!
♥ Homework: Keep a planner or agenda with you at all times! This was my lifesaver last year. I wrote down all my homework assignments, projects, tests, quizzes, after school activites, etc. And with that, I never missed a single thing! My planner was my lifesaver, and really helps me to remember things!
♥ Studying: So, say you have a test in say, French, in eight days. Divide the material you need to know by seven, study one seventh each night. On the night before the test or quiz, review everything! This helps you by not cramming a ton of information into your brain at once.
♥ Locker Organization: If you can find a locker shelf that will fit into your locker, BUY IT! This was something that really helped my stay organized. It provided an extra shelf for my books/notebooks/folders/etc. and helped me know where all my things were. I also sorted things by class on it, for example I put all my French stuff together, all my Geography stuff together so when it comes time to go to that class, I could just grab it and go!

Okay, so I hope you find those tips helpful. I've done several posts before about what's in my school bag, so go check those out if you're interested, but I definitely will be making a YouTube video on this, showing you what I like to keep in mine, as well as even more study tips, and if I'm allowed to film at school during my "break" which is called study at my school,  then I will try and do a locker organization video or locker tour, but I don't think that will be possible. I will try though. Thank you for reading this, and good luck1 xoxo
