Christmas Clothing

I know... I've neglected to blog daily like I said I would. Therefore, prepare for a lot of make-up posts ;)
Did I mention Christmas is in 15 days!?
Oh, and also I'll mention I could not find a song title which fits the post, even though I said I would for every post here.

Okay, so fashion has always interested me. After searching at various stores, I found some very sparkly, bright, and interesting outfits for Christmas time.

Bright red with frills
 Simple, scarlet colored dress
 That totally looks like a candy cane. wow.
 The burgundy colors and beads make this dress really elegant looking
 Okay, so I love the color red. Overall this dress is really pretty.
 Maybe not my favorite dress... it does like a huge wrapped up present though, so it totally fits the theme going here ;)
Sparkles, Belt, Christmas.

What features on these Christmas themed outfits do you or don't you like? I love reading other people's opinions on clothing!

Jingle Bells

21 Days Till Christmas!

So as you all know, I am totally into music. Here's what's been on my Christmas playlist:

No Christmas (Without You) - Group 1 Crew
Marshmallow World - Francesca Battistelli
The First Noel - Toby Mac (feat. Owl City)
Because It's Christmas - Sidewalk Prophets
Most Wonderful Time of the Year - Barlow Girl
Winter Wonderland - Avalon
Christmas Is - Francesca Battistelli
He Has Come For Us (God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen) - Meredith Andrews
Silent Night (Emanuel) - Matt Maher
Let It Snow - Jeremy Camp

If you only have time to listen to 3 songs, make it the first 3 on my list :-) 
I listen to a wide variety of music, but the first 3 are probably my tops. 
Group 1 Crew's 'No Christmas (Without You)' has a great beat and catchy lyrics.
 'Marshmallow World' by Francesca Battistelli feels really Christmasy and is lots fun.
'The First Noel' sung by Toby Mac and Owl City gets a makeover to an up-beat hip-hop style song.
 If you've got spare time though, listen to all the music on this list. Christmas music is the best ;-)

30 Days Till Christmas


It's nearly December, and only 30 days till Christmas. 
I'm really excited about the Christmas season coming up. What could be better? Christmas trees, music, decorations, apple cider, movies, food, time with family, friends, parties, candy canes, and of course; dresses. Hope you're looking forward to the holiday season as much as I am!

Having Fun :





I'm getting over a cold, and this is the way I made it fun:
1. Peppermint Starbucks Frappuccino's were buy 1 get 1 free today, and I happily enjoyed it.
2. Playing Rumimkub. A game like this where I nearly always win always boosts your mood ;)
3. Listening to music. Royal Tailor, Owl City, Francesca Battistelli.
4. Taking photos with the app Webcam Toy.
So despite the feeling of being slightly sick, I had a really good day... and look, I've actually have time to blog!

15 Things Before 15 Update

I have totally neglected my blog. Barley any posts, neglecting to change it's look, and forgetting about 15 Before 15! Oh well, here's the post to make up for lost time:

5. In writing class, we had to turn a bible story into a modern-day fiction story. I now have written 6 stories and poems.
6. I made Rice Krispie Treats and another dessert, so I've now made 9.
7. I painted my nails clear, clear with sparkles, and light pink (almost white). I've been painting my nails a lot of lighter colors recently. I've now painted them 14 different colors since I began.
9. I'm going to say I've completed #9! YAY! The goal was to meet 15 new people, and since I joined a basketball team, I've met a lot of new people :)
15. I know I've had a new food in the last month, but can't think. Oh well. I've had 7 :)


I'm sure there's some other stuff I've completed that I'm not thinking of, but I guess that's what I can think of right now. Goal #1 could be slightly modified, as there's a chance we won't start playing games until the day of my birthday. 

Have a fantastic night everyone!

Another Concert!

Had a fantastic day yesterday, and the best part was a Brandon Heath and Matt Maher Concert!
Compared to the Britt Nicole concert, this one was really different but really good. 
If you listen to Christian radio, you'd probably recognize some of their music.
 Waiting before the concert... The curtain with people on it looked really cool!

 Matt Maher. He was REALLY good. The music he sang was probably my favorite part of the concert! His voice kind of 'wowed' me, since it sounded even better than on the radio.

Brandon Heath. He has a more blue-grass sound in real life than he does on his CD's, but he was still great!

The end of the concert with them both on stage. It was really awesome! Also, the live music was REALLY great for this concert. 
Lots of fun!

Bye everyone!
