#TurnUp | May 13th 2015

I love making playlists on YouTube, I am literally obsessed. If you have been around for a bit then you know my obsession with YouTube in general. I follow so many people it should be illegal, as well as the number of people I follow on Instagram. I literally cringe just thinking about it. 


Anyways, that's a different topic, but today I wanted to share with you the latest tunes I have been listening to on repeat. I am that person who listens to a song 100 times, learns all the words, listens to it 100 more times, and then I hate it and wanna throw up every time I hear it. Is that you too? We will just say you do to make me feel less pathetic. There is some R&B, Hip-Hop, Country, Jazz (yes Jazz!) and pop, let me know what are your current favorites below!

Act A Fool-Kehlani

Nasty Freestyle- T- Wayne

Little Red Wagon- Miranda Lambert

Somebody- Natalie La Rose Ft.Jeremih


Next- Sevyn Streeter


Watch Me-Silento


Smooth Jazz

Ink It | March 13th 2015

I have been wanting to get a new tattoo for a while now! I already have two and people are so right when they say once the bug is in you it's impossible to get it out! After I got my first one I said I wasn't gonna get anymore, but we all see how that turned out. I do always stick to the belief that it should have meaning. If something is gonna be a part of you for a lifetime, then it should be something that really speaks about you and to you. With that I leave you with some tips on getting inked and some tattoo inspiration.

Oh and happy Friday the 13th!

Here are some tips for getting a tattoo:

1. Know what you want before you go. It prevents a longer waiting time and making a rash decision by just picking something you may regret.

------------------------------

2. Make sure the tattoo artist opens the equipment in front of you, this is your body, your tattoo and you don't want to be put your health at risk by used needles and such.

------------------------

3. Don't overpay. Check around where you live and get rates. Most of the time it depends on what you get so know before you call.

------------------

4. Check and see if they do student discounts or military discounts because most tattoo shops aren't cheap and that can save you a buck.

---------------

5. Know where you want it because it's going to be there forever. Both of mine are on my wrist because I like to see them and are easily covered up by cardigans, watches, and bracelets. 

--------------------------------

6.Get what YOU want, where YOU want it. When I got my elephant one of  the guys told me it was dumb to get it facing me, after talking to the guy tattooing me I decided to get it facing me and am so glad I did. Tattoo artist are artist and they have great ideas, but if it's not something you like or want don't do it.

These are both of my tattoos. I don't really take pictures of them because they will most likely look the same. This is an hour after I got my elephant, and that was a few months after I got my music note. 

They both mean a lot to me. I love elephants but not a lot of people see them as beautiful as say a lion or a giraffe. They have so much to offer from their resourcefulness to their memory. It reminds you to look on the inside to. The music note is kind of obvious, I love music and singing it makes me happy! 

Do you want tattoos? If so what is it?

Lost Files and M.I.A? | February 17th 2015

Where have I been?! Wouldnt you like to know?! Well if you do I haven't been to another country, or some awesome waterfall, or climbed some mountain, nope just been here doing life. When I have exams coming up, they literally take up half my life, and I refuse to throw up some half done post. We don't roll like that over here! So sorry I have been M.I.A., as they say distance makes the heart grow fonder. Here are some pictures of things that were meant to be on Instagram but I guess they didn't make the cut. Hope life is treating you like a box of chocolates.

My mom made this shrimp soup and it was super tasty.

The other day it rained and I didn't have an umbrella. Then surprise, surprise, it was my walk-a-long-walk day between classes. I was shivering like a wet dog the rest of the day.

Even though the Steelers weren't playing in the Superbowl this year we had to do it up on the snacks. Come on over next year we never disappoint. Also if you follow me on Instagram, then you know about my homemade, healthy cheese sticks!

Stir-fry has been my new favorite food! You can add all your healthy ingredients in one meal. BAM, just like that!

We have made this semi-tradition to go for drinks on most Fridays and I LOVE it. The chips are SO good and the drinks are AMAZE BALLS.

I just discovered the best sandwich ever! Ham, turkey, cheese, pickles, waffle iron, and you my friend have just taken a bite out of heaven. Your welcome!

My mom, sister, and I went to a health expo a weekend or two ago and it was so fun. They basically have a lot of booths to do with fitness and food, freebies, samples, and they even had different classes to try. 

I am in love with these nails. They are similar to the Impress nails I have talked about previously but you don't have to peel it off, you just stick it on, which I like better. They lasted a good amount of time for me considering they usually fall off within the day. I think I wash my hands to much, which I think is a good thing? These lasted about 5 days I think, they are called Fing'rs Prints, and they are from Kmart.

1. I got this sweater for Christmas and am in love with the color.

2. I have so many stains on these jeans, even though they have been washed. Vintage maybe?

3. I love these boots that I also got for Christmas and they are from Target.

4. The bracelet I am wearing is from my grandma, also from Christmas and I wear it all the time!

5. I have never had a butt, it was basically non-existent, but doing squats and lunges really works! I wish I had a before and after but I never liked my butt anyways. Long rant short, squats, lunges, and all those butt workouts work, just do them consistently and you will see results!

I will be back this time...promise!

Gif It | February 2nd 2015

When someone is in the midst of spilling the beans and they weren't supposed to.
------------------------------------------------------------

I love gifs. I feel my life might look a little more interesting if it was seen as gifs. I have finally found a good use in my emotions being written all over my face. #winning I was gonna do a whole other post but I got side tracked and well this is the result, enjoy!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When you try to be super cute and it's an epic fail

When bae likes another girls post on Instagram

When you only have one dance move in the club

When you actually get tax money back

If they even threaten to cancel Orange is the New Black

When someone says a terrible joke and you think about laughing, but decide not to

When Obama mentioned free college

Then you realized it was for community college

When you just knew you were about to get beat

When there is nothing to eat in the fridge

Or, you haven't eaten all day

When little Billy won't stay put

When someone wears sandals in the winter/cold weather

When someone threatens your best friend



XOXO

Lost Files | January 19th 2015

I made this salad for lunch on Friday, it was sooo good but it didn't fill me up. So it was a good thing we went for happy hour! Next time i think I need to add more chicken.

It contains:

+Blueberries
+Strawberries
+Chicken
+Thin Slice Sharp Cheddar cheese
+1/2 green pepper
+Romaine lettuce
+Turkey bacon

(I usually don't eat dressing with my salads, unless its a Cesar salad, I think it taste good without any most times)

So for the first time EVER I went to a donut shop! Let me tell you this was so worth it. Featured is cinnamon, bacon & maple, and Vanilla & sprinkles. This is way better than Krispie Creme and Dunkin Donuts.

For dinner my madre and I made enchiladas and they were amaze balls. They were super easy to make and went so good with tortilla chips.

I always forget to take pictures of my outfits, but I just wore this to work one day last week. My knee had been hurting so I decided to wear my sneakers.

Sweater- Made by me

Jean Jacket- American Eagle

Sneakers- Target

Cardigan- Forever 21

Jeans- Pacsun
