Funky Playlist

 Now I love a good beat, but I gravitate towards softer music more often than not. So I have constructed a list of my favorite upbeat songs at the moment. I really like talking about and sharing music, please let me know in the comments if I should make posts with playlists regularly! Here we go with some fun jams!!

1. Bridges by Broods (never heard of this group before but this single is very cool)

2. Any Way You Want It by Journey (it's really impossible to not turn into Beyoncé while listening to this)

3. Are You Satisfied? by Marina and the Diamonds (Marina never ceases to amaze me)

4. Girls by the 1975 (they're never not good)

5. I Wanna Be Your Lover by Prince (it's boogie night with this song)

6. I Want It That Way by The Backstreet Boys (...)

7. A Little Party Never Killed Nobody by Fergie, Q-Tip (?), and GoonRock (Great Gatsby playlist knows what's up)

8. Young Blood by The Naked and Famous (oldie but a goodie like a lot of the songs on this list)

9. Recover by CHVRCHES (just really cool I don't know how else to put it)

10. Runaway Baby by Bruno Mars (I Zumba to this and let's just say it's my favorite to dance to ever)

11. She Look So Perfect by 5SOS (all the heys are too catchy and please check out the music video it's too cute)

Like-able Objects #1

    Hello and happy Valentines day if you celebrate it! If not then happy Friday! Either way it's a pretty grand day. So due to the success of my last current favorites post I wrote back in July, I would like to start doing them more often. Also I will title them "Like-able Objects" because that's exactly what they are! Onward pals!

1. TV Show: Arrested Development (don't worry it's on Netflix). Netflix subscription courtesy of my parents

So I began this series due to the recommendation from my dear old dad. And let me tell you it's is actually a laugh out loud hilarious show. Some notable cast members include Michael Cera, Will Arnett, and Jason Bateman. The premise of the story is that a dysfunctionally wealthy family loses all their money after the father goes to prison for a couple crimes surrounding the family business. Just watch the pilot people. It's exactly my kind of humor and I LIKE it very much :) 

2. Book: The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold $2 

Around three weeks ago I ventured into the always awesome book store. I walked out with 10 books/magazines and among them was this book. I knew that there was a movie based off of the book and I had seen the trailer before. It seemed to be a chillingly strange tale of the murder of a young teen named Susie Salmon. It is a bit creepy at times, but it honestly holds an interesting message about death and the living vs. the dead. It's a great read and I enjoyed Sebold's writing style.

                                     

     

3. Lips: Chapstick Green Apple flavor/scent? ~$2

So here's a story for ya, I went to Walgreens for a planner and I bought a planner. But along the way to the crazy supplies aisle of my friendly neighborhood Walgreens, I spotted lip balm. And not just any lip balm, flavored lip balm. Now you may be thinking, oh so how many boys have you picked
up with your luscious green apple flavored lips. And the answer is...

That's stands for zero. Not like infinite amount or something crazy. Well at least I appreciate the green goodness! You boys are missing out! 

 

4. Hair: The Wet Brush (scored a travel size for $4 at TJ Maxx) 

I didn't want to believe the hype. But I bought it instead and did the unthinkable. I fell for the wet brush. There's an old wise tale I think Betty White started that states "one cannot brush hair with anything but a wide toothed comb or else..." Now this may be just me but this wet brush makes Betty White, or some other technologically advanced person, look like a fool because the inventors of the wet brush invented a tiny miracle. It runs through hair like butter and my hair is noticeable smoother and easier to work with. So break your wide toothed comb into a million pieces and throw it out into the crowd of prom go-ers (Mean girls duh) and buy yourself a wet brush. That is all. 

I should have used a different background I realize but hey you get the idea. 

5. Perfume: Escada Cherries in the Air $20 for the rollerball (Ulta was my store of choice for it) 

I have finally found my perfect perfume. And of course, ITS LIMITED EDITION YEAH! Just kidding I will move on. After I buy out the entire stock of all United States Ulta stores ;) So a description... Clean... Subtle... Sweet... Delicious beyond compare. Nothing I have smelled is as good as this. NOTHING I TELL YOU! So give it a whiff if you please before the evil beauty people of Escada take my baby away! 

Yeah that's as good as it's going to get. 

6. Makeup: Lorac Pro Palette $42

Yes this is another product that I succumbed to the pressure to and spend a lot of money on, but hey if I use and enjoy it then who cares? The stats include 8 matte shades, 8 shimmer shades, slim packaging, magnetic closure, and easily messy outer packaging. So to sum it up, it's great. The matte shades are creamy beyond belief and the shimmer shades pack a nice punch of color. It includes any neutral shade one would need. There's so many options and I love playing around with it. 

Sorry the lighting is poor the sun is setting and the flash makes it look worse.

And that's is the end of my Like-Able objects for around past month! I really enjoyed putting this together! Enjoy the day pals and gals! 

Love your girl Bri 

Love thoughts.

     After a series of events today, I have simply realized life is too short not to love yourself. Life is too short not to do the things you love and make you happy. From this day forth, I will strongly hold the goal to stop all of the harsh, unnecessary criticisms from myself to myself and just love being me. I can do something about my life right now, I can stop feeling helpless and help the person I know best. I also set five other life goals. They are very broad, but I believe that they will lead to inner happiness and my own value of success.

In no particular order

• socialize and meet all kinds of people
• travel and gain cultural knowledge 
• love with all my heart
• have my nose in many books
• write beautifully 

     I know I will probably be going through some changes starting in the next couple of weeks. I hope that these adjustments allow me more time to put in content on this blog. I plan on doing more personal things and advice. I started off believing a beauty blog was what I wanted, but I would not like to limit myself. If anyone is spending the time to read this small baby of mine, thank you! I hope in some way or another I can repay you. Feedback is always great and I am very open to talking and engaging with people through this blog. I appreciate the opportunity to do this as something that's mine, but can be shared. Enjoy your day as you entirely deserve it. :)

some thoughts by me.

No doubt school and this daily routine of nothingness is the root of my headache.

A book and a laugh are the only medicine and band aid to my daily tragedy.

I feel the need to evaporate from high school, load up on books, move to an unappreciated land and discover. Perhaps backpacking across country after country and staying away from civilization could heal the sadness and helplessness I feel in my situation.

I am thankful I got the chance to be entertained by America's simplistic view on education. So now I know that I am smarter and will be smarter than high school has tried to teach me otherwise. I don't like that this has happened. I wish the place I had to spend five days in for seven hours was benefitting me, but it leaves me empty. Saturday and Sunday are better. At least there is a chance for freedom because school will make you a slave. Trying to brainwash young minds into believing how they score on a test determines their mental capability is where they went wrong you see. They don't aim to make you a better person or find who you are or even build up self-confidence because all of that will be ripped to shreds through the paces up and down the halls. Self expression is doubted and following is encouraged. My lack of motivation to continue this thought up path to success by graduating high school, then attending  and exceeding in college is wary. But my longing to make a life for myself I will enjoy is exploding in me everyday. There are very little things I take pride in nowadays. That's because my time is consumed with school and work, something so distant from my heart it is really quite laughable. There should be hope at the end. There should be a way out. I really need a way out and soon. Otherwise life will be wrong.


Note from me:

I decided to share my very personal thoughts and feelings with a group of strangers because to me that is less scary than sharing it with someone who knows me. I hate to bring negativity, but I really needed to project my feelings somehow. Writing is definitely an outlet for my deepest and darkest times. I know that these entries are a bit upsetting, but to me this is how I feel. I don't ask for understanding of me or what I wrote. Just accept it and maybe respond if you feel it will positively affect you or I. I know I did mention I'm not proud of many things anymore, but I take so much pride in my mind and the thoughts that run through it. I hope you are proud of your mind too because if you don't already know this, it is your greatest and most valuable anything. It is everything in the world.
