I'll call you= sometime before I die, if I think about it

Blogger has been on the fritz a lot lately, and it just made me reset my password! Crazy blogging system, if it is not working, it doesn't know you. 

This post was not a complaint post about blogger, I promise, but rather a (semi)review post. Yay! I have been reading Enchanted, Inc. by Shanna Swendson and it is such a cute book! This is a semi rather then full on review because I am not done with it yet! Eep! It is a great introduction into magic! If you think you are not the type of person to be into the "magical realm", this book is perfect to see if you are because... wait for it.... the main character has no magical powers what-so-ever! It is a simple book about the magic in New York City and how a normal (non-magical) girl from Texas could save it all! I am going to leave it at that but you should defiantly check it out! 

My second review is on a cd. The new Lady GaGa cd, Born This Way. Gaga is the type of person you either love or hate. (even though I think everyone should love her!) She is so smart if you ever watch an interview with her or read an article she is very intelligent! This CD was great! I am really glad I invested $10 in it. I say it is great but doesn't compare to The Fame and The Fame Monster! (Those were FANTASTIC!)

 -Marry the Night- Catchy. Reminds me of the house music in Jersey Shore in the chorus!

-Born This Way- Fabulous, thats all I have to say. Love, Love, Love this song!

-Government Hooker-.... Um the name says it all, only Gaga could pull off a song with this title and throw a shout out to JFK and his affair with Marilyn Monroe in it and it still be good and not annoying!

-Judas- Please people do not take this song literally. She is not in love with Judas Iscariot, she is simply in love with a guy who betrayed her. She is Catholic. (I like this song!)

-Americano- Gaga has so many ranges to her voice, and this song her voice is beautiful, if you focus on that and not the techno beat!

-Hair- Similar to Born This Way... Same message.... '"I just want to be myself.... I am living just as free as my hair"

-Scheiße- Gaga in German sound great! One of my favorite from the CD..."I don't speak German, but I can if you like"

-Bloody Mary- Slower... probably my least favorite on the cd

-Bad Kids- Hard-core Gaga! but she sounds pretty singing the chorus! Has an 80' pop feel to it!

-Highway Unicorn (Road to Love)- Gaga has some killer beats on this album and this is one of them! plus the title is fun :)

-Heavy Metal Lover- just as me and Elizabeth gave Gaga kudos for having such clean songs, this one comes on and lets just say the first line not so clean. But it has the same upbeat-techno sounding beat as the other songs (literally even if you hate her and the lyrics you will love the beats)

-Electric Chapel- I honestly have not really listened to this one.... Oops.

-Yoü And I- Favorite song on the album by far! Sounds like the old Gaga!

 
-The Edge of Glory- My other favorite!!!! Ah you cant help but sing this song!

There you have it folks! My review for the Gaga album! Have you heard any of it? What's your thought? And has anyone else had troubles blogging?!

He's My Latest Accessory

I am in dance competition mode. After spending 12 hours around the chaos that is the dance world, I have had the songs and moves stuck in my head. I also came to the conclusion that I miss performing. A lot. Not the practicing aspect of dance but the getting dressed up and dancing for a crowd. Ah. That is my sob story.
I also re-fell in love with Accessory by Jordyn Taylor. I love this song so much!
He’s like my Chloé shoes
Betsey bag
Oh he’s cute
He’s like my Marc Jacobs chain
Prada shades

What’s his name?
iTunes has this song, for all you people who share my love for this song! Here's the catch... This song is from Confessions of a Shopaholic (great movie,right?) anyway... you can only get it if you buy the whole cd. Every song on the soundtrack is Album Only and only one song has a single. Grr. 

I didn't just go to Spartanburg this weekend, Saturday I went to a Braves game!! It was so much fun, and I had the perfect excuse to wear my cute Braves hat :)
Turner Field
Katie and I

Homer

Our Seats

I am happy to say they won! I don't want to toot my on horn but I think I'm their lucky charm... :)
I hope your weekend was just as fabulous as mine ♥

Friday the 13th.

I have been trying to Blog all day but something has been wrong with blogger! Was that just me or did anyone else have problems? Anyways, in  preparation for my little trip to the ATL tomorrow I have been getting a FANTASTIC playlist of song together! I am so proud of them I am going to share them with you!

I have this list on my itouch of stuff I want for my Wedding and that includes songs to dance too and I will have these two songs played: (I also want to have Marry You by Glee!)
1. Our Song by Ron Pope
2. Perfect for me by Ron Pope
(Love me some Ron Pope ♥)

3. Little Too Much by Natasha Bedingfield
This song is on the Something Borrowed trailer, and I really really want to see that movie and it doesn't hurt I am a sucker for her music!

4. American Girl by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
This song is just super catchy.

5. Turning Tables by ADELE
6. Set Fire to Rain by ADELE
ADELE's newest cd is brilliant, every song is great and I just fell in love with these two songs. She has a super powerful voice!

7: Lemonade Mouth
The whole cd!! I am obsessed with this movie and cd. and I have a MAJOR crush on the little cutie who played Scott
Nick Roux ♥

8. Not your Birthday by Allstar Weekend
I could seriously jam out to this all day long!

I am hoping with this playlist of songs (plus a few others I left out) and my books and Kindle I should be set for a long round trip to Atlanta! I am super pumped about the game and I already have a super cute outfit planned! Anyway, I hope you all have a FABULOUS weekend and that your Friday the 13th was anything but unlucky! :)

Love and Rockets.

Boots Botanics Conditioning Clay Mask

 I wash my face daily, and never expose it to the sun with out SOMETHING with SPF on it, whether it be moisturizer, foundation or straight sunscreen. I do not spend a ton of money on face products I have never used before because I am the one when it works on everyone else, it doesn't work on me. So when my cousin Barbara told me about this face mask at Target I was interested... but then I went and saw it was $8.99 and the bottle was not a big as I expected....
Well, here it is... I did not buy it when I went the first time and saw it. I came home and started reading the reviews. I figured if THAT many people had great results, there is a good chance it would work for me! I caved! and..... I loved it!!!!! the Pros defiantly out weigh the cons in this battle. 

Pros:

No strong smell. Some mask give me a headache from the smell it puts off but this had a small scent if any!

It was easy to clean off. It was not thick and clumpy and I didn't have to scrub my face to get it off. I hate the masks I have to scrub off, because my nice clean and fresh face, turns red and blotchy from the rubbing. Not and attractive look for me.

You can see it working! you can actually see it pulling the dirt and oil off of your face! I was so impressed I had to go show my mom and brother, I am sure Quincy slept better that night for knowing my mask was doing its job!

It dries fast!

Con:

It dries fast! I know that was a pro but it almost dries too fast! My forehead was dry before I finished applying to the rest of my face! 

That is my only con so unless you have a problem with a fast drying mask I would defiantly invest in this! You don't use that much at a time, so it is not something you have to buy weekly or even monthly! If you do buy it just make sure you shake it up! It will be super watery and gross if you don't shake it up! It totally defeats the purpose if it is watery!

Croakies.

   Hello blog world! I have not blog in FOREVER!!! We can just say I gave it up for Lent :) Anyways, I have picked back up on it and decided I am going to try this again!
   I have been having bloggers block.... you know, I didn't know what to blog about. So, I have made the executive decision to blog whatever. Some post will be short, some will be long, some will have pictures, some diagrams and some of them will include a rant or two. 
  Okay... My first "take two" post. My new obsession.... Croakies. I love these things. I found adorable Lilly Pulitzer croakies, (see above) but obviously nowhere on the East Coast has them! Whatttt? I am going to the Braves game this Saturday and was on a mission to find me some cute croakies to wear. Well..... I found some... In my mom's glovebox. She got them last year at the beach and I decided they would do until Lilly decided to up their production of croakies :)

      First, you take a croakie...
Like this one my mom had...


Then you add the greastest thing ever..... Rhinestones!

And E6000....
Anddddd you get.... drumroll pleaseeee......
Croakies by Jillian!

I am pleased because now I have something cute to wear with my shades and nobody else will have them :) Hope you had a FABULOUSSS Monday!
