Technologically Savvy

I love technology :)

Think about it....

Aren't you happy that you can turn a light on with the flip of a switch????

OR....

That you can now access the internet on your phone????

I am!

I love being able to make calls, send texts, check e-mails, get on facebook, and browse the internet all on one device :)

(Posting Again Soon!)

Something New

I love Christmas!

It's one of my favorite holidays :)

And...this year for Christmas my 'Mama' bought me the cutest socks ever!!!! 

I've only worn them once, but I love them.

They are adorkable!!!!

My sister also got a pair, but hers are monkeys with pink flowers!

Who wouldn't want a pair of puppy dog socks????

They're cute, warm, comfortable, and they even have the no slip grips!!! :)

Thanks for reading <3

Hopefully, I'll be caught up on my blog posts by tonight!!!!!

American Woman

My favorite childhood memory..... Oh my goodness!

 It's so hard to decide!

These pictures are from 6th grade. :) My sister and I used to dress up like we were rock stars and make our teddy bears dance to 'American Woman' by Guess Who.

We though classic rock music was the coolest thing ever....

Wanna know a secret????

My sister and I still LOVE classic rock and usually listen to it when we're together :)

We've just out grown the dress-like-a-rock-star-phase. ;)

Sometimes I just wish that I could go back and relive those moments....

What's YOU'RE favorite childhood memory?

I'm sorry I didn't blog when I was supposed to this week....

 Balancing school and work can be so crazy!

Anywho, I'll make up for it by posting some more today <3

Thanks for reading!

My Favorite Color :)

"Orange is a power color. It is one of the healing colors. It is said to increase the craving for food. It also stimulates enthusiasm and creativity. Orange means vitality with endurance. People who like orange are usually thoughtful and sincere."

I'll be blogging again tonight!

Sunshine & Lollipops....

Today the weather was crazy.

 I wanted to take pictures of the clouds outside my dorm... unfortunately for most of the day it was dark and stormy.

:(

This is a picture from August.

 Hardly any clouds were in the sky, but I was thankful for the one or two that I did see :)

Basically, I don't love or hate clouds.... I appreciate the shade they provide.

 The End.

Anywho,  I will be posting again tomorrow.

My Wardrobe :)

Today is the 2nd day of my 29 day challenge :)

This post is about what I wear...

Instead of posting about what clothes I wear, I am posting about jewelry and other accessories <3

I bought this hair accessory holder at a yard sale for 50 cents!!!!

It is one of my favorite things. :)

I love to wear bows and headbands, so this is the perfect organizing tool for my dorm room.

I also love to wear necklaces and rings....however, in this picture my favorite necklace and ring are missing because I am currently wearing them. :)

Don't get me wrong....I love clothes...but, I felt that my readers could learn a little bit more about me from these pictures of hair accessories and jewelry. :) 

I mean, how much could you learn about me from pictures of blue jeans and t-shirts???


Thanks for reading!!!!

I'll be posting again tomorrow!

Here are some crazy facts about me for my first blog post in February.... <3

If you were to ask me what fictional character I would want to switch lives with, I wouldn't answer with Elizabeth Bennett from Pride & Prejudice... I would answer with Bilbo Baggins from The Lord of The Rings :)

One of my favorite quotes is....“A room without books is like a body without a soul.” ― Marcus Tullius Cicero

A few of the songs that I would want to be included on the soundtrack of my life would be Sweet Dreams (the Marilyn Manson version), Enchanted by Taylor Swift, & I Won't Back Down by Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers :)

Thanks For Reading!

Tomorrow, there will be a new post!!!! :)
