music video friday ayy

I used to be really into music videos, but my love affair with cute vids didn't last through college. I just do NOT have enough time anymore.
 
But I'm really glad I turned on the TV to watch VH-1 while I "study" this morning - because I saw my new favorite music video ever. EVER. AND I know I pimp HAIM on this site all the time, but babes, you HAVE TO watch this. It'll make you smile. It'll make your heartbreak hurt less. It makes sense, and it makes me happy. SO WATCH NOW. It's funny too.
 

Haim - The Wire

The second video I have to share with you today is another Bonnie McKee gem, perfect for Halloween. I really like this chick, you guys - I hope I get to see her in concert, and that she gets some of the recognition she deserves. American Girl kind of flew under the radar, but it shouldn't have, because it was a damn good pop song - better than Call Me Maybe, in my opinion.

 

Watch away! HAPPY FRIDAY! 14 days til va-KATE-tion!

QUOTE THURSDAY: parents edition.

Hello lovelies (:

These are all from my parents, from our foliage trip around New England last weekend. Yes, they have stories behind them. If you're super interested just ask me!

Anyways - enjoy! Happy quote Thursday!

Quick updates (from class-excuse formatting)

just a couple things to come this week:

i need to recap the weekend - foliage and insanity with the family. I love New England so much I can hardly stand it.

Quote Thursday RETURNS this week - a special edition featuring my parents!!

Poetry will begin to go live on the blog at some point. I've been writing a lot more.

Lush reviews will continue through the season, into Christmas. I just got new stuff in the mail too!

There are 16 days until my va-KATE-tion! Meaning I have 16 days to trim down to fit in the tiniest skirt ever. Diet updates will be coming very often, maybe twice or three times a day.

Look forward to a very active end-of-October on here!!

Bad(ish) News

Hey guys - quick update before practice - I WILL be blogging later, probably from the bathtub. YAY

Quote Thursday is being postponed indefinitely, until I get more quotable things from my friends. This may not happen until I get back home, considering the very sad predicament I'm in with my "friends" here.

But maybe not - my two lovely littles may provide some quotes as soon as next week!

Anyway, thanks for your patience. More beauty reviews and diet stories to come. I gotta get my waistline in check before Halloween - maybe these freakin boys should give me less candy (except not actually at all haha thanks guys :D).

lush: the wuss

So, I've had a very painful and trying weekend/past week. Ask me about it in person, I'll dish. Basically losing friends and dignity sucks (intrigued, right? Yep).

Anyways, this called for me ordering things online while having no pants on, and that meant I spent WAY too much money on Lush stuff (again), but it's kind of OK because they had my favorite cleanser again and I jumped on that shit immediately.

I also splurged on like a million Retro bath treats. Cause the only things that really calm me down on campus, that are legal, are baths and tea - and I go to the Lush store by me like all the time anyway, so I figured if it was an online-order, I'd stick to Retro.

LITTLE DID I KNOW that 2 of my favorite things ever would be in the Retro section: the wuss, and Hot Milk (also Ice Hotel, but I already knew this).

I didn't take any pictures cause I was TOO BUSY ENJOYING THIS

You guys - oh my God - I love man-smells, I love the smell of coffee. I hope coffee grounds are still in my hair from the bath. I hope the martini scent never goes away. I sat there until all the bubbles went away before washing my hair - to enjoy myself and take in the scent (and listen to Vessels) - and they lasted like 30 minutes. The smell, every time I caught a strong whiff of it, made me sigh. It was absolute heaven. I don't know what's so wrong with me that I like the "weirdest" Lush bubble bar, but I DO AND IT'S GONE AND I WANT MORE ),:

If you have any information on the whereabouts of the wuss, please, PLEASE let me know. It's my new favorite thing. Get it for me. Please. 

Reviews of Hot Milk and Ickle Baby Bot are coming! <3 you for being patient.

well. I KNOW I MISSED QUOTE THURSDAY. I know this blog is suffering. I'm not giving up. I don't care if the next 3 posts are like "I'm sorry I suck," cause I like blogging when I have time. I just haven't had time.

Last night I slept for 12 hours, the night before that I slept for 0. I have serious academic pressure, social STIGMA (seriously...learned about this yesterday. On a date. why though, why), a general sick feeling (although that could be related to general STRESS), and a major issue with my romantic life. Like, major. Like so major I can't post about it on the internet. [which is crazy big right? aren't you interested in the gossip now? hahahahha]


anyways, i will get quotes up sometime, someday, as an apology.
and maybe eventually i can get you up to speed on the party scene, and the drama scene.
