Living Violet and One Direction

Hello wonderful people! I am in an extremely good mood today (oh the wonders a nap can do for a person!) and I decided I should finally blog about two things I've grown pretty fond of over the past few weeks. The first thing, is the band One Direction, now, I've liked 1D for a few months now, but lately I've been listening to their music even more and decided it was worth blogging about. Their album "Up All Night" which will be released in March in the USA, is probably the best thing to happen since the internet. Okay, okay I know its a bit of an exaggeration, but it's a great album nonetheless. I've heard the entire album (no not pirated I just got it from iTunes UK) and I've been listening to it non-stop. There's something about their music that is a breath of fresh air. I would say my top three songs on it are "One Thing", "Gotta Be You", and "Same Mistakes". "One Thing" is a pretty upbeat dance song that makes me smile every time (see -> :-D). Now "Gotta Be You" and "Same Mistakes" are on the other side of the spectrum, they are slow tempo, soulful, and dare I say "sad" songs about relationships that aren't going too well. Harry Styles, one of the vocalist and my favorite from the band, has vocal skills that blow me out of the water every time I listen to him! As a whole, I would give the album 5 stars  it's fun, upbeat, the vocal skills as a whole are great, the songs are really catchy, and I think these boys have a long successful future ahead of them.

And now, the second thing I fell in love with this past week is the book Living Violet by Jaime Reed, it is the first book of "The Cambion Chronicles" which was released January 1st, 2012. I stumbled upon this book playing around on my Nook and it was 2.99 so I figured I'd give it a shot. Little did I know that I would fall in love with the book as much as I did, I literally read through it in a day. Without giving a way too much, the book is basically about a girl, Samara, who wants to uncover her mysterious coworker, Caleb. All the while she falls in love with him and discovers he has a dangerous little secret. It's a great young adult supernatural, for anyone who liked Twilight I guarantee you will love this book, the only issue I had with it was that it ended haha. Now I'm (im)patiently waiting for part two of the series to come out....all the way....in June. -Sigh-. BUT good things come to those who wait right? Anyway check out the book, I have a feeling this one is going to become quite popular.

WHEW! That was a mouthful, I told you guys I was in a good mood today! Until next time folks :)

Peace, Love, and Werewolves <3

Oh poor blog I have neglected thee so badly haha. I've probably gotten a total of 16 hours of sleep all week. Not much fun. BUT my grades are AWEEESSSOOOOMMME now, well...at least to me they are. Considering how hard things were for me at first i'm pretty proud of myself. The other reason I haven't been blogging much is because I've been working on my portfolio because I'm applying for a few scholarships and summer journalism programs. Really cool stuff going on with that. Anyways I did a photoshoot yesterday (yes these photos are from mid winter) and they turned out gorgeous! So i'll share a few, and i'll blog about interesting stuff tomorrow.

Peace, Love, and Werewolves <3

Resolutions are made to be broken

First and foremost HAPPY NEW YEARS EVERYONE! I had a pretty AWESOME New Years Eve, I hope everyone else had one too. :) Okay so the topic of this blog is New Years Resolutions. Now when you hear that term do you or do you not assume that who ever said it is just going to end up breaking that resolution eventually? You do right? Let's face it New Year Resolutions are made to be broken. Don't get me wrong, i'm not saying you can't change, because you definitely can! All i'm saying is, don't make promises you can't keep. It's a new year: 2012! Start the year off right, don't just say "I'm going to lose weight!", "I'm going to be a happier person" and all the same old cliche New Year Resolutions. This year, try having a goal. My goal, is to be a better friend, love more, stop getting angry over stupid things, and most importantly, grow closer to God than I was last year. I feel like I have been dropping the ball, for lack of a better term, in my relationships with people. Some relationships, I need to let go of. Too much unnecessary drama. This year, i'm going to find out who my real friends are, and hold onto them for dear life. And to all of those who are saying "I'm not changing for anyone!" all I have to say is this: I know for a fact that you made mistakes in 2011, and if you say you aren't going to change, that means you learned nothing from your mistakes, and will only be doomed to make them again. So let's stop making "New Year Resolutions", and let's actually try to start changing. Because if you aren't moving forward, you'll never get anything accomplished in life.
