Day 26

Item from your wishlist Day- As dumb as it sounds, I've always wanted one of those giant teddy bears. Ever since I was a little kid, I think I saw one in a magazine or something, but I've always wanted one. But now though, my brother is going to be getting married in just a couple of months, and I'm soon expecting them to start having children. And when my oldest oldest sister got married, I made a vow to my other sister that if married sister had kids, I would be the best aunt in the world and spoil them like no other. My sister got a divorce (for good reasons), but my vow to be the best aunt ever has now moved on to be fulfilled with the help of my brother. Now, since he's enlisted me to be a full time babysitter because he would have a serious meltdown if he saw a soiled diaper, I'm more than likely going to rub off on those poor kid's lifestyles. There's no way of escaping it. These kids will love, grow to love, or be forced (joking) to love legos, zelda, camping, cooking, traveling, building forts out of the couch cushions and demolishing the living room with silly string, water balloon fights, doing flips into a pool, living off of PB&J for the whole entire summer, love sports, and will have to above all know and learn that it is ok to mess up. Yes, expectations for them are high, but all of us are human at best, and it's inevitable that we will mess up. I don't want them to be one of those crazed people who will cry and beat themselves down if they don't get a 100% on a paper or doesn't get a home run in t-ball. I want them to not only live their life, but to enjoy it as much as they can. And that's what I'm here for, to teach them just that...

Great. Just great... Grumble grumble...

So, the internet is officially going to be the desath of me. Yes, luux does in fact sell items which is amazing, and I discovered a few more outfits and other items before the dang internet decided to distract me further by introducing me to many new websites. One of the websites being http://www.makemechic.com/ and http://www.gojane.com/. Now, uhm.. It's to no one's surprise that I love shoes, and it just so happens that these two websites sort of specialize in shoes. So, I'm very liable to spend all of my money on shoes leaving me with no food or shelter thus causing me to die. Thanks internet.. . uhm.. so here's a tooon of new-found treasures to lust over.

Day 25

What do you want to get from luux Day- Well I'm glad that they have this challenge on here because I always thought that Luux was just a blog website, I didn't know that you could actually buy stuff from it. This makes me extremly happy. I love that feeling of anticipation when you find out about a new store and can't wait to check it out.. =D I'll have to continue this post later because I have a feeling that I'm going to be too distracted with luux to continue to blog..

Day 24 yummm

Day 24- your favorite food Day. So yesterday, I had to go with a friend into the teacher's lounge to help her heat up the food that she brought for an english project when I spotted my art teacher Mr. Phelps. Now, I've known Phelps since I was about 5 because his daughter and I have been best friends since about kindergarden, so he's kind of like my adopted dad. Anywho, we walked into the teacher's lounge and the most wonderful aroma hit my well-trained nostrils and I immediatly started to drool. Not like dribble down my chin drool, but drool none the less. There laying in front of him on the table was a half demolished Subway meatball sub on Italian herb and cheese bread (my favorite) with tomatoes, cucumbers, lettuce, pepperjack cheese, bannana peppers, and green peppers- all the exact same things that I get on mine. And even better, he got the samwich toasted. Even better, he got chips with it. Even better still, it was cheese-flavored sun chips- exact same type that I get. I immediatly forgot all sense of manners and bounded over to Phelps who tried to start up a conversation with me because he thought that I was happy to see him based on my lit-up face showing pure joy and ectasy. He saw the real basis of my joy though, when I reached down and snagged a chip and tried to take some of the sub. Now, for an old man (that's what I call him, I don't think he's even 50), he has exxxtremly fast reflexes. Or maybe he's just very protective of food, I mean he is a guy. Anywho, he smacked my hand away before I could close my fingers around a glorious piece of the glowing samwich. My belly has been growling for it ever since that experience, and nothing can contain my belly or make it happy until I inhale a Subway meatball sub- the best food in the entire world...

I'm an idiot

So.. I've kind of lost track of the days and now I am compleatly confused on which day I'm on with the challenge. So, I'm just going to go ahead and do as many posts as I can about the days. Plus, we're going to be on Spring Break starting in like 2 DAYS!!! and I'll more than likely not even know what day it is during then. So, to avoid all confusion (I've probably made the whole situation a lot more confusing than neccesary already), I'm just going to do posts at my leisure. I'm also in sort of a free period right now too because nobody has the will power to do anything since the vision of Spring Break is sooo close. Speaking of Spring Break, Day 23 on the challenge is- PLace where you want to live Day. Fiji. I don't care if it's a tiiiiny island and I'm more than likely die in like 2 days after living there from a hurricane, I want to live in Fiji. They have mountains for exploring, days-on-end vast oceans surrounding the whole island, could learn to surf, i could go scuba diving, snorkling, be on the beach... Ah. You hear about people all the time who just want to retire to a beach somewhere and live out the rest of their life living in luxary? All I've wanted to do was be on a beach period. I don't care if I have to pitch a tent on the sand (which I'm pretty sure is illegal), I will live on a beach someday. Ah.. Just look at it..

Day 22 =D)) <- happy face with double chinn

What makes you happy Day- http://www.hyperboleandahalf.com/ <-- visit this blog, it's the funniest thing I have ever read in my entire life.
There, after seeing that picture aren't you at least a bit curious about it? I don't know for sure if her childhood stories are all true, but I do know that the author, Allie, has ADHD, creativity, and freakin awesome computer drawing skillz...
Hahahaha check it out, it makes me very very happy and makes me laugh without stopping for about half an hour straight even after I've closed down the tab and moved on to doing laundry like my Mum told me to, but I can't fold the towels because I'm laughing too hard. Not that that's ever happend, just a... hypothetical situation. Sort of... not really. 

Day 21?

Your favorite lipstick Day- Uhm.. I don't really own any lipstick. Like at all. Or lip gloss or anything else lip-related. Although, I do live off of chapstick. Maybe during the summer I'll try out lipsticks then, but for now, I'mjust going to stick to pictures. One beauty look that I've always admired is the natural look or golden look. It's were if you wear make up, it looks very natural and use earth tones. The golden look uses bronzer and more of brownish and goldenish tones to make you look like you have a sun-kissed look. Another look that I absolutley love but can never accomplish is the smokey eyes. So, I guess that I like natural looking lipsticks? I'm not for sure? Again, I'm going to have to try these looks out in the summer and see what happens then. I just really don't have the desire to put forth the effort to look nice during the school year...

Day 20

Your favorite mascara Day- As I've discussed a looot of times before, I don't wear a whole lot of make-up besides mascara or eye liner, so when I buy a new mascara, I want one that makes your lashes actually look more dramatic, longer, and fuller. I love the brand Maybelline because it's very easy to just go to Walmart and get some make up rather than driving forever to find a name brand make up store or ordering off-line. Anywho, this is actually a picture off of the internet, but it pretty much sums up my usage of mascara. I still need to get one of those eye lash curler thingys though. Anywho, they're all by Maybelline- Great Lash, Colossal Volum Express, and Turbo Volum Express Waterproof all in very black (except for the Great Lash)

Day 19

Your favorite look from a beauty guru Day- Thigh High and Red Lips.. This is a look from fashion blogger http://www.dulcecandy.com/ that features a Zara grey sequined tunic, long beaded necklace, and knock-off Christian Louboutin Supra Fifre 120 thigh-high boots. I'm not a huge supporter of knock-off products and neither is she, these boots are one of the verrry few items that she does own that's knock-off. Anyways, I still love this look. It's deffently a night-life look, but at the same time sort of casual since it's just a dressed up tee. Anyways, this is one of my favorite looks from her...

Blueberry Muffins (Milk Optional)

In english class, we're doing what I think is my favorite project yet. We're supposed to cook a food that has a memory behind it, write a short story describing that memory and bring a sample of it for everybody in class. It's going to be like a potluck in there today which is aweeesome! Anyways, so I did my project on blueberry muffins (Of course. What else?) Here's the food-memory paper explaining my love for blueberry muffins. Well, sort of...

                Blueberry muffins; All throughout my childhood and even now as I begin to transform into an “adult”, I still yearn for blueberry muffins and milk. I cannot for the life of me explain why I have this grand obsession over blueberry muffins, or for it to be accompanied by milk. All I know is that it’s a wonderful idea and that this wonderful idea is starting to make it around different breakfast tables all across Kentucky, thanks to me. I can date my love for blueberry muffins back to since I was a very small child. And because I was very young and had (well still do) an unnatural gift for randomness and not doing things as expected, I always eat blueberry muffins with milk; and a spoon in hand. And not just a little bit of milk either, but a lot. This single muffin has to be a minute island completely surrounded and almost engulfed by an ocean of milk lapping at its sides. Once I’m satisfied, I then take my spoon and completely demolish the muffin. I then repeat this process until I’m full which is usually after just a couple of muffins. After beginning that ritual as a child, I’ve stuck to it and practiced it every time that I eat one now. Just last summer I stayed at a cabin down in Nolin Lake with my family and some friends, and when my Mum was taking suggestions for breakfast the next morning, I of course shouted out with extreme force, “BLUEBERRY MUFFINS!!!” Everyone could see what a fantastic idea that is and could also clearly see my lust for them, so we got them the next morning. Everyone marveled in my strange muffin-eating habit, but by seeing my happiness after completing one muffin, they decided to give it a try. It all of course turned out wonderfully, and many family members and friends have converted to muffin-and-milk eating.     

Day 18

Your favorite beauty guru Day- When I first started to actually get fascinated in fashion, it was only a couple of years ago. I was on youtube looking at ideas of how to redo my closet. So, I was searching through all the responses for closet tours and came across one from youtuber dulcecandy87. Now, her closet is a bit extravagent and a heck of a lot larger than mine is. Her and her boyfried had an extra room in their apartment, so she turned this spare bedroom into her walk-in closet and it's huuuge. Now, it's not just like clothing racks surrounding the exterior of the room, they're lined around the room and all throughout the middle and shoes all over the floor and purses on the wall... it's every girl's dream. I loved her sense of style and we're both obsessed with the stores forever21, urban outfitters, zara, and h&m, so I decided to check out some more of her videos.Turns out that she has her own blog (http://www.dulcecandy.com/) as well which documents what she wears daily, has make-up tutorials on it, decorating ideas and so much more. I think I need to credit my obsession with fashion to her. Thank you so much.

Day 17 clothes, Clothes, CLOthes, CLOTHES, CLOTHESS!!!

Fashion pieces that's on your to-buy list Day- A girl can never have too many shoes. You hear this all the time wether it's an excuse from the wife trying to defend her shopping habits to her husband, on a commercial trying to sell shoes (or a closet organizer), or on boring, rambling blogs such as this one. The point I'm trying to make is that I am always wanting new shoes. So, that's a large chunk of my to-buy list. Besides that, I have many other random things. Things such as yellow Hunter Wellington rain boots, ankle height brown-buckle leather boots, knee high gladiator sandals, white wedge espadrilles,... wait, those are all shoes aren't they? My bad. Ok, how about a pair of white skinny jeans? Or a chambray shirt, sequin top, flowy summer dresses, and floral skirts. Also a red purse of some sort along with a yellow one and a silver one. Also, red aviator sunglasses. And a new jean jacket and more tank tops as well, you can never have enough of those. Ok, I've already decided that this list that I'm coming up with is wayyy too long to say everything. I'm just going to give up now. And scratch that earlier quote- It is true that a girl can never have too many shoes. But, I think we need to broaden the horizon a bit. A girl can never have enough clothes. Period. 
 

Day 16 _\../ <-- rocker hand symbol (thumb, pointer finger, two middle fingers, and pinky)

Music you like Day- I loooove rock! I'm most deffently 100% rocker chick (even though I may not dress or act like one.) I love any type of rock, alternative, glam, punk, grunge, indie, metal, death metal, etc.. anytime that I hear a rock beat,I'm automatically in my zone and feel so extremly comfortable and alive. One of my ultimate all time favorite bands is Metallica (the unforgiven, the unforgiven ii, the unforgiven iii, for whom the bell tolls, fade to black, enter sandman). They're prettty common and well known which I believe is how it should be. Some people may believe that a lot of their songs sort of blend together, that you can hear a beat and automatically know that it's a Metallica song which is sorta, not really true in a sense. But, that's besides the point. Metallica is awesome and I love them!

perfect personality..

Everyone at least once in their life has wished for something bigger and better, for change, to experience something different. One of the things that I've always been unhappy with myself about is my personality. I've asked people how my perosnality is and to be 100% truthful. Majority said bohemian, just really laid back, funny, and chill. A few said always hyperactive-hyper and many have said that sometimes that they honestly can't narrow down my personality to just one thing, that I"m mostly free spirited and broad-minded. I take all of those as compliments, but of course, I'mmy own worst critique. I hate complaining and crying. Sure, sometimes things become too much to handle and I just need to cry, but besides that, I'm really not an emotional person. I hate talking about things going wrong, but I'm getting better at opening up since that's one of the most important things to boyfriend. But, even though if I try really hard, I still hate talking about my problems. I always stop halfway through and step back from everything, and realize how many other people there are in the world who have problems that are sooo much worse than mine. Compared to them, my problems don't deserve even the least bit of attention. I've come to realize though, that I am only human and that I have problems along with everyone else. Boyfriend told me that if there's something thats causing me sadness or worry or anything is troubling me, than it's obviously important and to always tell him about it. Sure, there are other people in the world, and he'll listen to them as well, but I'm one of his major concerns as well and wants me to always be happy. He worded that all a lot better than what I just said, but for the sake of the point I'm trying to make.. If I could change my personality, I would love to be able to open up to people a lot more and just act more like a girl. To cry at a wedding, or gossip about boys, or complain about parents.... all those things seem so normal and simple for teenage girls, and yet I don't do any of that. I think being forced to grow up a lot at a young age affected how I turned out, but still, everyone is supposed to stay a kid at heart. Right?

Day 15

Photo of your favorite bracelet Day- This is from Urban Outfitters, the Hope Marian by Lizzie Fortunato Jewels rhinestone Bracelet. It goes along with my whole beachy obsession and it's also tangled and looks just grabbed and put together, but it still looks cute..

Day 14

Photo of a hairstyle/haircut you'd like to have Day- I absolutley love Ashley Olsen's hair. The color and cut both, I just love. If I could pull it off, I love Brookelle Bones' hair too. But, I'll probably never actually do it. I'm thinking about dyeing my hair blonde just to see what it woul look like, possibly during spring break? I'll upload pics if I do ever get it done. Boyfriend is pestering me to go blonde. We worked out a deal though. He doesn't like having stubble or anything, but we're doing a tradeoff of if he gets stubble, I dye my hair lighter. I'm quite desperate for that stubble..
