I've really been into hip-hop and rap lately. I find myself usually only listening to hip-hop from 2008 and I was looking for something new to love! Sure I'm familiar with most modern artists that come on the radio, but I don't love any of them.
Weelllll, I recently discovered a rapper from Cleveland, OH. Goes by the name Machine Gun Kelly, or MGK. You can feel the passion in every verse! He has amazing flow! His most recent album, "Lace Up" features artists like Matt Shadows from Avenged Sevenfold to Bun B and Tech N9ne. But enough talking, give him a listen!
One of his newer songs from the upcoming mixtape "Black Flag"
If you like the music player, check out Rdio! It's like Spotify in case you're wondering! Then follow me! ;) I'll be listening to MGK all daaayy!
I think it's been about 3 months since I posted on here! Soooo much has happened since then! A lot of really tough stuff that I had to go through if I ever wanted to open a new, better chapter in this book called life! I hope everything I've been through will help me to help other people.
Weeelllll, the big news is no more boyfriend! It was a 6 year long relationship that was unbelievably unhealthy. I was terrified for months to end it, but I finally got the guts to just do it. It's been hard but I know it was for the best. More of that later, I'm just excited to get this thing going again!
Feeling feminine doesn't necessarily have to be wearing pink and being dainty. Being confident not only makes us feel more lady-like, but sexy and happy as well. I think every woman should feel that way! And music is an almost instantaneous way to make that happen. So if you're going through a rough time, feeling the blues, or just want to listen to some happy music, then listen to this playlist which is some of my favorite happy songs that make me smile, dance, sing a long, etc. xoxo
Ok so sorry Day 1 is a little late! I still have to get in the swing of things since having a blog is a new thing for me! Anywho! Let's get this started :)
Day 1 Simple Manicure
Doing your own nails is an easy, inexpensive and fairly quick way to feel more feminine and polished(literally!) Let me show you guys how I did my nails!
Super simple! Just basic red nails but with a glitter accent finger! I think the accent finger trend is awesome and I think it's definitely here to stay! I do this pretty much all the time because I love how doing just one nail differently looks so glam! Ok so here are the products I used! :)
From left to right; Sally Hansen Diamond Shine base & top coat, Orly in Haute Red, and OPI in Spark de Triomphe.
I love both the Orly and OPI polishes but I'm not a big fan of the Sally Hansen base & top coat but it's the only one I have. It is very glossy and looks good but never lasts long enough and admittedly my nails are very weak and probably need something more "heavy duty" I guess you could say. Typically I don't like to spend more than 5 bucks on a nail polish unless I absolutely NEED it (if you know what I mean by need ;). But I am never nothing but satisfied with Orly especially in this color. It's the perfect red and you only need one coat! It's very opaque and saturated with color! And I mean check out that glitter, it looks like it's made of chunks of pure white gold. Gorgeous!
So that's how I did my nails to feel more lady-like. I'm not saying you need to do them this way. Do them in any color you'd like, my challenge to you and myself is to maintain them. Paint them regularly, keep them nicely groomed if you don't to paint them. Here are some more pictures of my manicure. Stay tuned for more posts! xoxo
I'm not sure what it is about this song that I love so much. I just love the ambience and tonalities. It's very deep and not just lyrically speaking. And of course I can't deny that simply because Vin Diesel made a video of himself singing it on karaoke, I adore it even more.
Just in case you haven't seen it. Doesn't it make you fall in love? I've had this song (both versions) on repeat all day!
