Music Monday

Ahh the sound of Christmas Music. It is now acceptable to be in the Christmas spirit. Listening to the classic Christmas songs are my favorite. My favorite classic singer is Bing Crosby. What is not to love about him, especially White Christmas?

25 days!

December 1st you guys. It is now acceptable to be in the Christmas spirit. Today marked Countdown to Christmas on ABC Family. They started out with Elf tonight, one of my fags! But I can't wait for White Christmas which is my all time favorite Christmas movie. My sister and I always bake cookies and watch this movie together. I mean how can you resist Bing Crosby? Anyway happy decorating and celebrating!

Music Monday: November 26th, 2012

Every Monday I will post the previous weeks obsession. This week its:

Sundays?

This will be my last post on Sundays. I will not post on Sundays because it is a family day in my household and I usually catch up on my homework during this day. See you guys on Monday!

Sporty Saturdays November 24th, 2012

Time to work off that Thanksgiving diner and start making room for holiday parties. 

Here is what I do right before bed.

Do this rotation 3 times every night:

1.) Push-ups

2.) Crunches

3.) AB roll-ups

4.) Plank (30 seconds)

5.) Wall Sits (30 seconds)

If your more active then I would suggest doing a Gossip Girl episode worth on the treadmill walking at an incline of 10 (This is what I do.) Or run a mile or two then walk for the remaining hour.

Happy Exercising!

Fun Fact Friday

Fact #1:

The word "hello" was actually invented because no one knew how to start a telephone conversation.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Eat as much as you want and rest up for tomorrow's shopping excursions! But besides that point I am going to list 10 things that I am thankful for because after all, that is what Thanksgiving is all about. Although the food is an added plus!

1.) I am thankful for my family's health and safety.

2.) I am thankful for the roof over my head and food on my table.

3.) I am thankful for the ability to have nice things while others are less fortunate.

4.) I am thankful for my friends who stand by me and I can always go to.

5.) I am thankful for books because they give me the ability to lose myself when I just need to get away.

6.) I am thankful for my schooling. Even though I say I hate going almost every morning at 5:30 I am glad I go.

7.) I am thankful for my teachers because they put up with my questions and help me when it is needed.

8.) I am thankful for my brother and sister, even though I (we) annoy the crap out of each other we still have each other after everything we've been through.

9.) I am thankful for music because it is another way for me to go away into another world even for a little bit.

10.) I am thankful for all of you. My readers on my blog or my followers on my Tumblr. I can't believe there are this many people that enjoy the same things as I do.

Black Friday Shopping?

I'm not sure if I am going this Friday but if I were this is what I'd wear. Comfy yet stylish. Happy shopping!

What to wear to Thanksgiving dinner?

If you're having a dilemma deciding on what to wear to dinner Thursday, I have you covered. I have 3 options for you. If you use any of them make sure to let me know in the comments! Have fun and don't eat too much! (Haha just kidding)

The Fancy Dinner:

The In-between Dinner:

The Casual Dinner:

What is in my purse?

What I keep with me when I bring my purse:

The Purse- A Tory Burch (favorite purse and show designer) in a beautiful orange color with gold hardware.

Notebook- This notebook serves as a diary for me. So I like to keep on my person at all times when I go out. I can also use it to jot down notes or keep a shopping list in it.

Wallet- Self-explainitory, I need a new one though. Christmas is coming up...

Lip Balm- The winter means lips chapped so you need to keep them moisturized. My favorite is EOS or Vaseline Lip Therapy.

Phone- DUH. I have the HTC Evo 4G

Book- You never know when your going to be stuck. I always have a book. Currently it's The Great Gatsby.

Ipod- Music is my life. Currently my favorite artist, or group, is Mumford and Sons and Macklemore.

Water- You have to stay hydrated during the winter. I always have a water with me!

Oh the promises that were made

Sherlock:

 Doctor Who:

Once Upon a Time:

Supernatural:

Gossip Girl:

Lauren Lopez

One of my favorite people is Lauren Lopez. This is a picture of her.

But some of you might know her in her more natural state which would be this:

I saw one of her quotes lately and I completely understood it. I really had to deal with this in a few of my classes this week. More people, including me, should listen to this wonderful advice spoken by the most wonderful boy/girl/Draco in the world

”Rudeness is a storm cloud that dampens the atmosphere. Rather than get caught in the storm, try to pass along your own sunshine and keep the cloud

What I keep in my school bag!

So since I started my Junior year on Thursday I decided to show you guys what I carry in my backpack. Comment what you think is essential to keep in your backpack!

If you've seen my other blog post you pretty much know what my backpack looks like but this is it. 

In the big zipper part I keep all of my binders, folder, and my agenda. All monogrammed and preppy of course.

If you want to create these binder covers click here-http://justanotherdayinpreppyparadise.blogspot.com/2012/08/how-to-make-preppy-binders.html 

 In the two side pockets I carry my Lilly Pulitzer water bottle. My pencil case, white out, Kleenex and a thing of my favorite lotion.

 This is just an over view of the medium sized pocket.

I keep a Coach makeup bag full of Advil and girly stuff....

Attached to a clip is a Vera Bradley ID thing with of course, my IDs, extra money, and hair ties.

In the pockets I carry my headphones, a pen, my phone, and an antibacterial lotion.

In the mesh zipper pocket I carry more beauty stuff. I have a MAC lipgloss in Boy Bait, Makeup Forever HD concealer, Lancome juicy tube, anti-bacterial gel, DKNY rollerball duo, EOS lip balm, and a bag full of hair ties and bobby pins.

In the very front pocket I carry a protractor, colored pencils, regular calculator, and a graphing calculator.
