It's been a while since I've shared with you guys songs that I have been loving, so here it is...
My MUSIC PICK OF THE WEEK IS...
Almost Is Never Enough by Ariana Grande feat. Nathan Sykes.
'Cause sooner or later We'll wonder why we gave up The truth is everyone knows
Almost, almost is never enough So close to being in love If I would have known that you wanted me The way I wanted you Then maybe we wouldn't be two worlds apart But right here in each others arms
Here we almost, we almost knew what love was But almost is never enough
Like Lauren Conrad, I am a big fan of the winged eyeliner look. I think it looks great with light and simple makeup. It could also be paired with bright, red lips for a dramatic approach. HOWEVER, unlike Lauren Conrad, I am so not a pro at this particular eyeliner method. There are times when I get it perfect, but most of the time, it's nothing but A BIG BLOB OF FAIL. Haha.
I know a lot of you guys out there aren't so good at it either
(C'mon, don't be shy. You're not the only one), so here is a little "How-To" video from Lauren Conrad...
I'm definitely not going to give up on this. I'm gonna practice and practice and practice and practice...until I master it. LC can do it "sans mirror," so that's going to be our goal, okay gals?! :D Do it with me now. Let's practice until we make it perfect!!! cheap clothing stores | cheap clothing stores online | cheap cute clothes
Light up your Christmas trees and fill up your stockings because there's officially 5 more days till Christmas.
Today, I have something really fun in store for you guys.
When the holiday season starts, it's always a MUST for me to watch all of my favorite holiday movies.
It's a really great way to bond with your whole family.
It's also my way of jump-starting the Holiday season.
With the freezing cold weather outside, there's nothing better than staying home, all cuddled on the couch with your comfiest blankie, watching your favorite Christmas movie while sipping on a heaping cup of peppermint mocha latte.
(Yup, that's my new favorite Christmas drink.)
I wanted to share with you guys a few of my MUST WATCH CHRISTMAS FILMS, starting from my so-so favorites to my all-time favorite. :D
My holidays are not complete without watching these movies at least once. :D
10. Love Actually
So this movie is about 6 guys and 4 girls who fall in love with each other.
They spend Christmas together...
Uhm, yeah. Okay, okay, you guys caught me.
I haven't actually watched Love Actually, BUT it is my sister's favorite Christmas movie so I thought I'd include it in my list. (Actually, she forced me. Sshh.)
However, I will definitely be watching it this year. I have to see what the fuss is all about.
9. Four Christmases
"MISTLETOE!"
Oh my gosh, my siblings and I loooooove this movie.
If you're looking for a good laugh, this is a great movie to watch.
Vince Vaughn and Reese Witherspoon together in a movie is a complete laugh trip all the way.
8. Elf
"The best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loud for all to hear."
Who doesn't love Elf? I mean c'mon.
It's a Will Ferrell movie. It doesn't get better than that.
7. Mickey's Twice Upon A Christmas
"Hey, aren't we innocent into proven guilty?"
I watch this movie EVERY year!!!
My brother and I love this so much. I know it's kind of childish, but we don't care.
It has 5 different stories and all of them teaches kids good morals and character.
*I wasn't able to find the trailer. But here is the full movie if you would like to watch it.*
6. The Ultimate Christmas Present
"Any time you say 'trust me', I wind up either in detention or on a missing person's list."
I first saw this movie on Disney Channel a couple years ago. I think I was around 10 or 11 years old.
Ever since then, it has become a tradition to watch it every year.
5. The Polar Express
"Seeing is believing, but sometimes the most real things in the world are the things we can't see."
Ah, this movie is just epic! Everything about it is absolutely amazing.
The graphics, the music, the plot, EVERYTHING!
My favorite line is what Tom Hanks said as the conductor, "The thing about trains, it doesn't matter where they're going. What matters is deciding to get on."
I just think it has such a powerful meaning especially with life.
4. Christmas with the Kranks
"You're skipping Christmas?! Isn't that against the law?"
One time, I was just randomly browsing my TV Guide list, when I came across this movie.
I thought I'd give it a chance, so I watched it...
And the rest is history.
3. Holiday in Handcuffs
"There may not be such a thing as a perfect job, a perfect life, or a perfect family, but there is such a thing as a perfect moment. So I take back what I said. Doing one crazy thing probably does make you crazy, but it also can make you happy."
My sister got me so obsessed with this feel good movie.
Mario Lopez and Melissa Joan Hart have an amazing chemistry. They're really cute together.
My favorite part would be the ending.
But you have to watch it to see. ;)
2. Home Alone
"Keep the change, ya filthy animal."
I think it's safe to say that Home Alone is everybody's favorite. Am i right or am i right?
I also love Home Alone 2!!! Not so much the third one though or the ones after.
Does anyone else hate when the whole cast of a movie is changed? I really hate it when that happens.
1. Serendipity
"Well, if we're meant to meet again, we'll meet again. It's just not the right time now."
Aaahhhh, we finally got to my ULTIMATE FAVORITE Christmas movie.
If there's one thing I truly believe in (aside from God, of course), it's destiny.
I truly believe that everything happens for a reason and also, that if it's meant to be, it will happen someway, somehow.
I can't even explain how much I love this movie. My sister and I HAVE to watch it every Christmas. It's a total must!
I'm actually going to borrow the DVD at the library tomorrow. (I don't know why I don't own the DVD.)
What's your favorite movie to watch during Christmas time?
Ah, guys!!! It's official. PROM is this Saturday. I seriously cannot wait. But I need your guys' help with one thing -- A HAIRSTYLE I want an updo just because it's a special occasion and it's the only time I'd actually get an updo. Plus, my dress is open back so I don't want my hair to cover it. I'm going for an OLD HOLLYWOOD LOOK.
I found 3 hairstyles that I really like. They look pretty simple to do. I just can't decide which one I want. Will you guys help me?
Skip to 4:46 for the finished look.
"Twist and Pull" Updo
This is the first look. It looks more like a side bun. I love her technique on how to make the bun. It's soooo cool. I won't be adding a flower hair pin though.
Skip to 0:08 to 0:12.
Braided Updo
This one look really really pretty! I love the braid that goes down all the way. I also like the texture. There's something very elegant about it.
Skip to 0:04 to 0:10.
The "Faux Bob" Look
This one screams Old Hollywood don't you think? I just love this hairstyle. First off, it's simple to do. Just pin here, pin there. And it goes perfect with the look I'm going for.
I really like the last look. But I also like the first 2 hairstyles. I'm torn!!! Help?
When he opens his arms and holds you close tonight, It just won’t feel right, ‘Cause I can love you more than this, yeah, When he lays you down, I might just die inside, It just don’t feel right, ‘Cause I can love you more than this, Can love you more than this
OMG! These short series are SUPER HILARIOUS!
And they're very true. Tell me if you agree. Us, girls, really do say these things. Haha.
If you guys haven't seen Episode 1 & 2, go ahead and watch those first before playing this one.
I hope this brightened up your day in some way. :D
My latest obsession is The Hunger Games Trilogy! (Thanks to my sister!) I started reading the first book, The Hunger Games, in the beginning of winter break and I totally fell in love with the whole story.
I just finished Catching Fire last night. And now, I'm just waiting for my sister to finish Mockingjay! I want to read it alreadyyyyy.
I still can't decide whether I'm for Peeta or Gale. I think for the first 2 books, I'm for Peeta. But I love how Gale will protect Katniss's family in a heartbeat. I need to see more of him though!
Look at their Vanity Fair photoshoot! It just makes me even more excited for the movie.
Can March 23rd just come already?! Are you guys hardcore Hunger Gamers?

*play the song while looking through these beautiful Chrismas photos!*
I just wanted to stop by and wish everyone a fun-filled Christmas!!! I hope you guys are having the best time with family and friends. Eat loads of food and give and receive tons of awesome presents.
Also, my In Love With Fashion Giveaway officially ended yesterday. Thank you to all of you who participated. I will be having more giveaways in the future so keep an eye out for that. :D
The winner of the In Love With Fashion giveaway is...
Happy Thursday Guys! 3 more days until Christmas. I am so excited, you have no idea. Today, I'm going to be finishing up some last minute Christmas Shopping with my mom. Then we'll finish up wrapping them as well. It should be fun.
In the mean time, listen to One Thing (Acoustic version) by One Direction. They're a boy band in the UK, I barely found out about them the other day, and now I'm totally hooked.
Enjoy!!!
While you're listening, oome and check out some of my previous posts if you haven't already. :D
Elevator buttons and morning air Strangers' silence makes me want to take the stairs If you were here we'd laugh about their vacant stares But right now my time is theirs
Seems like there's always someone who disapproves They'll judge it like they know about me and you And the verdict comes from those with nothing else to do The jury's out, my choice is you
So don't you worry your pretty little mind People throw rocks at things that shine And life makes love look hard The stakes are high, the water's rough But this love is ours
I'm so sorry for being MIA lately. School has been keeping me EXTREMELY busy. But my finals are this week, so I'll be free in a few days. In the mean time, enjoy Taylor Swift's new music video!
Oh my, this actually looks really good. I can't wait to watch it. I love the way Charlize Theron narrates the story. She sounds just like how the queen is suppose to sound and very, well, evil. ;]
Kristen Stewart makes a good Snow White as well. She looks really pretty in the trailer. I think this is going to be better than "Mirror Mirror". It's something different from the traditional love story.
Here is the "Mirror Mirror" trailer.
Both stories are really different from each other. Mirror Mirror is more laidback and fun.
Comes out Summer 2012.
Enjoy!
"Mirror, Mirror on the wall. Who's the fairest of them all? ~Evil Queen
Check out this choreography to Chris Brown's Wet the Bed. It's sooooooooooo GOOD. I really wish I can dance as well as him. (Brian Puspos is the guy in the middle.)
Happy November Everyone! I seriously cannot believe that we're already in the month of November. This means only 50+ days till Christmas! WOW. I don't know about you guys but I definitely can't wait. :)
It's the most beautiful time of the year Lights fill the streets spreading so much cheer I should be playing in the winter snow But I'mma be under the mistletoe
I don't want to miss out on the holiday But I can't stop staring at your face I should be playing in the winter snow But I'mma be under the mistletoe
With you, shawty with you With you, shawty with you With you under the mistletoe
You could be my it girl Baby you're the shhh girl Lovin' you could be a crime Crazy how we fit girl This it girl Give me 25 to life I just wanna rock all night long And put you in the middle of my spotlight You could be my it girl You're my biggest hit girl
I wanna be blown away.
I wanna be swept off my feet.
I wanna meet the one who makes
it hard for me to breathe.
I wanna be lost in love. I wanna be your dream come true. I wanna be scared of how strong
I feel for you.
Just call me me beautiful,
call me beautiful,
call me beautiful,
call me B-E-A-UTIFUL.
Isn't this song so cute?! I'm completely obsessed with it.
Hope you liked the song. :D
My lips just want to be kissed by you.
~Megan Nicole
You set it again, my heart's in motion
Every word feels like a shooting star.
I'm at the edge of my emotions,
watching the shadows burning in the dark.
My sisters have been singing this song NON-STOP.
It's been on the top of their playlist for the last few days.
The ending: I got hooked to it. I hate when that happens.
It's a really sweet song though. And Zachary Levi is looking goooood. ;]
GO LISTEN and FIND OUT FOR YOURSELF! :p
Any thoughts?!
"You, by the light, is the greatest find. In a world full of wrong, you're the thing that's right."
