February Favourites!

Hey everyone! It's that time of the month again! Not THAT time of the month, but it's my February Favourites! This month I wasn't into too much, but I still wanted to share with you all my favourites:

1. Struck by Lightning by Chris Colfer

LOVE this book. It's so witty and funny, and I love that Chris Colfer wrote it. I haven't through the entire book, but so far I love it. It's completely relateable; a boy who lives in a small town and has big city dreams; it's perfect. It's basically me in a book, except I'm not a boy! I live in this small town, and I have BIG dreams that await me in New York City. Anyways, go check out Struck by Lightning!

2. Birdy

So.. Another recent obsession is Birdy. Never heard of her? Well, she's this FANTASIC, AMAZING, AWESOME singer who's from England. Could it get any better? Her songs are so nice, calming and slow and just perfection. However, the songs on her debut cd are all covers (except for maybe one) of other artists songs. But that's fine with me! A few of my favourites are: "1901" (by the way, check out the video for this one, it's amazing.) "People Help The People", "Skinny Love" and "Young Blood". All so incredible.

3. Medley Crunch Cereal

OMG. This is honestly the BEST cereal ever! It has oats, and flakes, and cheerios, and it's just so good! I love it with milk (the obvious) and cranberry juice for breakfast in the morning. Sadly, you can only get this in the States (my family and I got this on a day trip to Buffalo) so I can't get any until March. But I'll live. If you get the chance to try this, please do! You won't be sorry.

4. Rings

I love rings. For the longest time, I hated jewelry. I didn't like necklaces or bracelets or even.. rings! But recently stopping by Forever 21, it's hard not to leave the store without dashing to the jewelry section to check out the latest statement necklaces or the dainty rings. So I've learned to love rings!

5. Halls

Being sick sucks. I don't get sick too often, but when I do get sick it's hardcore sick. So I got this huge pack of Halls at the grocery store and they are really good! The flavour I got was Strawberry.

6. Flower Nail Polish

Is it just me or does anyone else love Drew Barrymore? I love how far she's come, and I think she's awesome. So when I found out that she was coming out with a makeup line at Walmart (US of course) I had to try something! The nail polish I got is in the color "Gorgeous Gerbera". It's a pretty, opaque baby pink. Perfect for spring.

Those are all my non- music favourites (with the exception of Birdy), but here are my favourite songs of February:

  • Little Lion Man by Mumford and Sons

    This song is sooo good, and I love it. It's so catchy and I love it.

  • Violet Hill by Coldplay

    I was recently watching Coldplay perform at Glastonbury Festival 2011 and they were sooooo good. They sung this, and I fell in love.

  • I Would by One Direction

    This is just super catchy. And cute.

  • Fix You by Coldplay

    I don't even know why I didn't have this song on my i-Pod before. It's so good.

  • Hung Up by Hot Chelle Rae

    Love Hot Chelle Rae. They're awesome. When I heard this song, I splurged $1.29. I wasn't sorry.

    And that, is my February Favourites! See you all next month for my March Favourites!

    viva la primadonna.

    Haven't been on here in a little bit! Not too much has gone on since I last blogged, but here are a few things..

    Valentine's Day came and left and I didn't even care. I normally sulk around hating on Valentine's Day because I don't have my own personal Chord Overstreet. And if you don't know who that is, my own personal Brad Pitt. But I actually was happy on Valentine's. I wore my hearts blouse, and my french teacher gave the whole class heart lollipops. That was fine for me. Oh! I also filmed a video for the cause One Billion Rising! Which was SOOO much fun. I wasn't asked to make the video, I just thought it'd be fun to film. One Billion Rising is a cause, and on Febuary 14th 2013, women around the world danced for women who wouldn't be able to. I'm only 14, but it was really fun and here's the link.

    Did anyone else watch the most recent Glee episode? OMG. OMG. OMG. That was just.. Too much. First of all, Rachel could be pregnant? I can't comprehend that! Last season she was such a goody-goody, and it's too much. But Jarley. C'mon Jake! I honestly think that Jake is truly blind to not see that Ryder is IN LOVE with Marley. And that kiss. Oh my gosh. That just opened a HUGE can of worms. Ryder should go for Tina, they're both not getting what they want, so why not? Eh. Personal opinion. Better yet, it's Chord Overstreet's 24th birthday. That's exciting! I guess. I have yet to find a boy who looks like him. I honestly don't think that's going to happen anytime soon. But y'know.. I'll hope and dream.

    I've been into photography a little more recently, here are two of my favourites:

    I've really been into DIY projects recently, I haven't put any to the test yet, but here's a few of ideas I want to do:

    (from left to right: Chalkboard, Heart Journal, Heart Elbow Pads, and Instagram Collage)

    *I don't own the 4 DIY photos*

    Alright, I'm going to go, but I'll see you most likely for my Febuary Favourites! See ya!

    Currently listening to: "Viva La Primadonna" - Coldplay vs. Marina and the Diamonds

    and as long as I've got my suit and tie.

    Hey everyone! I haven't posted in a bit, so I thought why not post a post?

    Yesterday we had snow day which I'm still thinking was a gift from the heavens. I was SOOO happy to wake up and go back to sleep. It was the best feeling ever.

    I did some baking today. Made something called Valentine Bark.

    Did that make you hungry? ;)

    On another note, my town FINALLY opened a Micheal's Arts and Crafts Store. I went to the grand opening and bought a couple things, for a good deal I might add!

    Another thing is.. I'm very conflicted with my feelings for certain boys. I like one, and then I don't. Then I like another one and then I don't. It's insane. These are times when I wonder if this is the reason I got a 60 in Science. Yes. I am aware of the failure I am in Science. I hate it with a passion. It was my lowest mark, and I blame my science teacher. She was a horrible teacher, and I just.. Guess what? Now she's my gym teacher. The heavens are very testy with me.

    Currently watching Ella Enchanted. This my friends, is one of my all time favourite movies. It's so cute, and I loved Anne Hathaway's performance, and it's just amazing.

    Speaking of amazing, the Grammy's are on tomorrow and I'm so excited! I'm basically a sucker for award shows, and this one just happens to have Taylor Swift, Mumford & Sons, The Black Keys, fun., and Bruno Mars. I'm a happy camper.

    While I was flipping through my Seventeen magazine, I came across this article about a blog called Flashes of Style. It's supeeerr cool. It's so fashion forward and exciting! You all should go check her out!

    Did anyone see Glee this Thursday? Gosh, Brittany. GO BACK TO SANTANA. SAMCEDES NEEDS TO HAPPEN. What I don't and probably will never understand is the fact that Sam and Mercedes never got a proper breakup scene, which doesn't make sense. asdfghjkl. This is very frustrating for us Samcedians. Wooo for fandoms! But seriously. I hate Bram. With a passion. Again, maybe this is why I got a 60 in Science.

    Alright, I'm going to end this post, and I hope you all are having a nice Saturday night! I'm reblogging on Tumblr and listening to Suit and Tie.

    so cold, so cold.

    Who knows where my title's from? ;)

    Why hello there! How creepy did that sound?

    I thought it was a good time to post something new since it's my last day of doing nothing since I have to go back to yelling teachers, dirty looks and smelly bathrooms. *insert eye roll*.

    Is it weird that I like going to school? As much as I trash talk it, it's not that bad. Except seeing you-know-who.

    Tomorrow I find out if I aced my exams, or if I'll becoming very friendly with summer school.

    I've been recently obsessing over Coldplay. And asdfghjkl. They are pure perfection. I could probably just sit in my room all day and jam out to songs like "Violet Hill", or "Hurts Like Heaven". My favourite Coldplay song has to be "The Scientist". Don't even get my started on my love for this song. I learned how to play it on the piano. And I never learn how to play songs on the piano unless I'm totally head over heels in love with the song.

    Speaking of piano, I'm learning a new song.. Skinny Love. That's another song that I grew a love for in litterly 10 minutes. I had heard about the song in one of the many Youtube videos I watch daily, and I decided to look it up Friday morning, and every since then all you hear me singing around the house is : "If you love me, won't you let me know," or.. "Come on skinny love just last the year, pour a little salt, we were never here.. My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, staring at the sink of blood and crushed veneer,". That's pretty much that.

    I was looking through my photos from January, and I realized I took SO MANY. I'd show you all, but I basically FLOOD this blog with photos, so I'm taking a break today.

    So exams are over.. and.. Ooooh! I just remembered! My Carrie bag! For those of you who watch The Carrie Diaries, then you know all about Carrie's bag, and I'm pretty much in love with it, so I made my own interpretation of it! It's a bit blurry when you look closely, but hey! Hey! What can I say! Don't judge my quoting of Led Zeppelin.

    Speaking of the Carrie Diaries, Did anyone see last week's episode? Sebastian you turd. Gosh. Carrie did one thing, and he went all woolly mammoth. I really do hope they get back to where they were. Or I'll flip sugar. I'm very protective of my OTP's. #ihavenolife. Speaking of OTP's.. Samcedes. Naked. Not together, well yes together but not THAT way. Was it just me or did anyone else go cuckoo bananas? I was fangirling so hard inside. It was just.. "I thank Sam because if he didn't put my video online I wouldn't be here in LA." Something like that. It was 5 seconds of heaven. I really hope they go to prom together even though Merecede's already graduated. Ryan Murphy, make it happen.

    Alright, I think I've been talking for gosh knows how long. Let me know how your day went!
