Hello Everyone,
Today is Monday! I promised a Media Monday for today and that's what your going to get.
Last night was the Grammy's. I wish I could say that everyone who performed did an amazing job and all the awards where given out to the right people but I can't. Lorde's performance was the first one I saw of the night as I was editing a video for Friday. Lorde's voice is nice but her stage presences is a little weird, I just didn't enjoy her performance at all. Her choice of clothing was also a bit strange but her lipstick game was strong so props to her for that. Beyonce and Jayz slayed at the Grammy's. Their performance was the highlight of the entire night. P!nk was second best for her acrobatic performance of Try. Everyone else did okay but I didn't particularly like their performances. Didn't see many awards so I don't think it would be good for me to comment on the awards as I didn't see them.
Thanks for reading my short blog post on the Grammy's.

How To Style: Print Shirt and Faux Leather Jacket
Hello Everyone,
Today I have a How To Style for you. I was going through my closet and I picked two pieces to show you. One is a printed top and the other is a faux leather jacket. I know sometimes these items can be intimidating to try and pair things with them. (Everything I'm wearing in these photos I purchased at Nordstrom)

I know sometimes these items can be intimidating to try and pair things with them. (Everything I'm wearing in these photos I purchased at Nordstrom)
I started out really simple. Pairing the shirt with white jeans and the faux leather jacket. I put the necklace with it to draw more attention to the shirt and the neckline.
Next, I paired the shirt with a printed pant. I know this can be very intimidating. I have a hard time with this too. Notice how the pants have a more spread out print verses the busier looking shirt. The rules to wearing print on print is make sure one print is neutral based and has a nice spread out pattern. This will make it easier to pair it with another print. I also put a bright peachy pink scarf with this to bring out the colors in the shirt in which I think it does nicely. This outfit would be good for school, a concert really anywhere.
Next I paired the shirt with a aqua pair of pants and the same faux jacket. These pants have a zipper on the side by my calf. I rolled up the sleeves of the jacket to make it a bit different. I used this photo mainly to show this shirt can go with something other than just neutral colors. This would be good for a nice spring evening out.
I paired the shirt with a high waisted black skirt and some red pumps. I prefer the shirt tucked into the skirt rather than hanging out but each to his own. I really like the pop of color the red shoes give with this outfit. I think they fit nicely, but you can always do a nude shoes or even some bedazzled shoes. This outfit would be good for a formal dinner date or even a business dinner. You could easily pair a sweater, the faux leather jacket, or even a blazer with this outfit. Dress it up or down. You could also pair flats with this to make it good for school.
That's all I have for this Monday. Later I'll be posting a Grammy's themed Media Monday. Come back later for that! I'll see you on Wednesday for Beauty Products to Keep in Your Locker. Have a good Monday!

YouTubers I've Been Loving
Hello Everyone,
Today instead of a Media Monday I thought I might do something different. We've had a lot of time off school recently because of snow days and holidays, which means hours upon hours on YouTube. I thought I'd share with you some of my favorite YouTubers at the moment.
Troye Sivan
I recently rediscovered Troye's videos and I couldn't stop laughing at almost every video! He is hilarious. He's from Mirrabooka,Australia. He's 18 turning 19 in June. He's really funny and you should go check him out
ItsMeHannahM
I just discovered this girl yesterday! Her personality is fabulous! She's upbeat and fun! Obviously her name is Hannah M. She's gorgeous. I discovered her from a comment on my Best Friend Tag video. She was really sweet in her comment and it comes across in her videos. Check her out!

Jack is a Youtuber I recently rediscovered. I love his videos and he's just so sassy. I believe he's 18 or so! He lives in Connecticut I think! He's very funny!

That's all I have for you today! I enjoyed writing this...I hope it was refreshing for you rather then the regular Media Monday! See you on Wednesday for My Everyday Makeup Tutorial.

How to Get Organized
Hello Everyone,
It's a new year, which means if you're like me, you want to begin the new year organized, a clean start. The other day I cleaned out and moved my desk, put my calendar up and started fresh. I have a few steps to help you get organized and stay that way.
1) Get a Planner. Whether it's just a to-do list on paper or a planner that you go out and buy from Staples. I personally use my planners a lot. I use a to-do list for school. My monthly planner for my blog and my calendar on my wall for both.
2) Have a Workspace to YOURSELF. This is key, if you have a space that is your own to go and work at then you probably will be more productive. Whether it's your kitchen table, a desk in your room, your bed.
3)A Place to Keep Everything You Need. This can be a folder if you deal with only papers, a laptop for all electronic needs, a bag, a drawer, etc. Keep everything you need in one area. If you're in school, then you know how important this is. If you have multiple items to keep track of ( like courses in school, or papers and a laptop) have multiple ways to keep track of them.
4) Decorate Your Space. If your workspace doesn't reflect and compliment your personality then you aren't going to want to use your workspace. Go to Pier 1, Staples, Joann's and get creative. Make your workspace reflect you. ( Unless you don't live with your parents please don't go doing this without asking, especially if your workspace is the kitchen table)
5) Organizational Tools. If you think bins would help you stay organized, then go get bins. If you want to paint mason jars and use them as a pencil container, then do so. I always want to change up how I organize my things which usually means I want different types of organizational systems each time.
That's all the tips I have for you today. Have a good Wednesday. I'll see you on Friday for the Best Friend Tag!

Media Monday #18
Hello Everyone,
It's that time of the week where I review different things for your enjoyment.
Frozen Soundtrack
I've been really loving this soundtrack. All the songs are really catchy. Let It Go is my favorite off of the soundtrack. The people I've talked to, they prefer the Idina Menzel version over the Demi Lovato version. It's nothing against Demi. I love Demi. Just Idina's voice is richer, more pleasing to the ear, and just more suited for the song. I would highly recommend you listen to the soundtrack and Let It Go
All Alone by Fun
This song was introduced to the me by my friend Julz {Hi Julz :)} during our off block on Friday. I fell in love with this song. It sound very different from anything else Fun has done.
Disney Station on Pandora
I've been listening to this station a lot recently. I love it. It basically relives your childhood through songs. They have songs from all the Disney movie including Monster Inc, Toy Story, Tangled,etc. Go get the Pandora app ( IT'S FREE, YOU HAVE NO EXCUSES) and take a listen.
That's all I have to review this week. I'll see you on Wednesday for a post on my tips to help you stay organized. Have a good Monday!

What I got for Christmas and Shopping Haul
Hello Everyone,
Today is Friday which means a video! It's a haul video. I know it's really long. Like a half an hour long, so if you only want to see one part I have marked the start and the end with title pages. Christmas Haul is in the beginning and Shopping Haul is the end. I didn't know it was going to be half an hour long when I started and I'm sorry. I probably should have made these into two videos but at the time I planned it I didn't have very many shopping items to show you and at the time this just made sense. I'm sure if I just stuck to telling you the product, why i got it and how much I love every single freaking item this would be a much shorter video, but LET IT GOOOOOOO ( Frozen reference, LOVE that song)
Have a good weekend! See you on Monday

DIY: Craft Christmas Tree
Hello Everyone,
I know this video is a little late in the season as it not Christmas anymore. You may just want to do this because you like making things. I loved making this even after the holidays. You can customize this for anytime of the year. By using pastel colored gems or bows, or whatever the season calls for.
I hope you enjoy the video!
Have a great Wednesday and I'll see you Friday with my Shopping/Christmas Haul

Media Monday #17
Hello Everyone,
It's Monday! I have only a few things to review for you today so let's a get a move on..shall we?
Over Christmas Break I saw several movies! I spent several a day at the movie theater seeing movie after movie.
Saving Mr.Banks
This movie was absolutely fabulous and I really enjoyed seeing this. It pulls at your heart strings so bring tissues. The movie goes back and forth between when P.L Travers was a young girl in Australia and now when they are making the movie about Mary Poppins. I would not recommend this for kids under the age of 12 because there are some tough subjects in the movie. I would recommend this for anyone(obviously over the age of 12 as I previously stated)
The Secret Life of Walter Mitty
I really enjoyed this movie. I felt it should have been a bit longer. The cinematic effects and the locations that they filmed were gorgeous. The ending of the movie is sweet and kind of sentimental. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a good relaxing movie.
Anchorman 2
I original saw this movie to get out of the house. I really didn't want to go to this movie. About a half way through the movie I wanted to leave. This movie was absolutely awful. There was not ONE THING in this movie that I found funny. After that movie was over the only thing we were laughing about it the fact that it was so bad and that we just waste 2 hours of our lives on this movie. A majority of this movie was just so uncomfortable to watch. I would never ever wish my worst enemy to see this movie. I would not recommend this to anyone! It was just awful.
The Wolf of Wall Street
I went into this movie liking the idea of what this movie was saying. I didn't really enjoy what the movie actually showed you. I summarized this as start from the bottom now I'm a millionaire. There was a very good reason this movie was rated R. The amount of naked women, drugs and cursing that are in this movie was at an unexplainable high number. There was at least 10 scenes of naked women, drugs and cursing for every 1 scene of information. I wouldn't recommend anyone to sit through 3 hours of that.
Grudge Match
This movie was actually very delightful. The jokes were funny. Sylvester Stallone and Robert DeNiro were really good in this. Kevin Hart and Alan Arkin really added to the funny parts. I would recommend this to everyone. It was really a feel good movie.
That's all I have to review for you today! Have a great Monday and see you on Wednesday! :)

New Year New Blog Coming Soon
Hey Everyone,
I'm reposting this blog post because it came to my attention (HI ELIZABETH, HI MITCHELL) that my video was not working. I know I say the 3rd of January but the video was having technical difficulties so it had to be re-uploaded.
Today I have a video for you explaining a whole bunch of new things that will be happening on here this month and this year, including a special guest and a surprise at the end. I hope you enjoy the video!
I will try to stay true to everything promised in that video. I know there will be weeks that it may be hard for me to post but I will post on that day even if it kills me! I hope you're looking forward to the new blog system I have planned and everything along with that!
