This is My Winter Song to You

Wowzers! It's been a thuper long time since I've posted last! I blame homework, exams, and Chipotle Burrito Bowls for this.

But they are so delicious...

Mmm

*Ahem* Right. Well, back to the post.

Today, as a break from studying for my finals (cause, c'mon...let's be realistic...I'm not actually going to study until around 3:30 anyway) I went to the mall this morning to do some Christmas shopping.  And to my surprise, I got it all done! I'm pretty impressed with myself and I got some good stuff that I think my gift recipients will enjoy :)

I know I probably shouldn't do this, but I'm going to show off a few of the gifts I got today! 

But of course, I won't be disclosing the recipients, that would be cheating them out of their given Surprise Rights.

Here goes:

Bon Bons for doggies! I made sure Moochie and Co was the first store I hit up once I got to the mall.  I gotta provide for my little man, Mac :)

I got a beautiful headband that I couldn't pass up.  

Perfectly sparkly to match the snow :)

Lush products are so amazing and smell so yummy! I got some of their Jilted Elf Shower Jelly for a special someone.  

Philosophy is always a great gift for anyone who loves to smell good (and I hope that's EVERYONE) 

:)

I got a pretty bicycle necklace.  Too cute.

A random gift for a random person.  This pig popper can pop a foam ball over 20 feet, depending on how hard you squeeze him.  It looks fun! I mean, look at how much fun that guy is having!

You can't go through winter without some warm socks.  And these socks from H&M will definitely do the trick :)

Happy shopping, everyone!

Not Done Yet

In the leftover spirit of Halloween, I created my own zombie movie.  It was originally for a vlog channel that my friends and I have to keep in touch with each other while we're away, but I thought I'd share it on here too :)

Unfortunately, the "Free Advertisement" part's audio is a tad off. Bear with me.

Lovely front photo, right? haha

-Happy Almost Veterans Day :)

I Put a Spell on You, And Now You're Mine

In the spirit of Halloween, here's the full movie of Hocus Pocus online :)

BOO!

One Nail...Different Color?

I know it has been awhile since my last post, but I've recently heard about the celeb nail trend that's made it's way around town.  For lack of a better name, it's called the "One Nail is a Different Color Than the Rest" trend.  

Clever.

I've been looking it up online and I guess it's the #1 fall nail trend.  I mean, Beyonce is rocking this fad...that's just B-rilliant.  This different way to paint your nails is pretty...unique-ish to say the least (or to say the most, depending if you're a glass half full or half empty kind of person).  If B-Town is giving this trend a try, maybe you should too. 

BUT DON'T CONFORM TO PEER PRESSURE, IT'S BAD FOR YOU.

I digress.

I personally am quite fond of the light blue with gold :)

It seems to be a popular belief that painting your ring finger a different color is somewhat like wearing jewelry, or at least accenting existing jewelry.

Some like it, some don't.  All-in-all it will probably just go down in the book with all of the other trends of yesteryear.  Remember jelly shoes? Yeesh.

It's something to try if you're into nail art, but I give props to those who go out and swim against the current.  Why not make your own nail statement!? Or go protest something? Or go skydiving??

Okay, the last one wasn't really about making a statement...it's just something I really want to do.

Have a great Thursday, errbody :)

Cardigan Weather [Menfolk Edition]

It's no secret that a classic cardigan sweater is both stylish and simplistically sexy when a woman is wearing it, but what if a guy shrugged on this wardrobe staple when getting dressed in the morning?

Would it have the same effect or just have lost meaning among the crowd...

A guy decked out in a cardigan can say so much about him within the first fleeting moments of a first impression.

Things such as:

"I'm put together without trying that hard. I enjoy the finer things in life, such as literature and long walks on the beach."

OR

"I'm not afraid to be who I am. I'm not here to impress anyone."

OR

"LOL WAT? OMG! Txt u l8r I g2g."

...or maybe something along those lines.

I'm a firm believer that you should do, wear, say, and be around the things and people who make you happiest in life. I personally think a cardigan on a guy is fresh ta death.  It's not something you always see and that's refreshing. You've only got this one life to live...so you might as well wear a cardigan :)
