New Video!!!!! My Go-To Makeup Look

Hey Beauty Lovers!!!!

So if you live in the Pennsylvania/New Jersey area, then you're aware of the crazy weather that we're having today. It's been snowing all day, and the news says it's not supposed to stop until tomorrow morning. I originally planned to film and upload this yesterday, but I ended up surprising my boyfriend at his college instead, and I spent the day with him. Today was my first day back at school, but because of the inclement weather, we closed early. Not only that, but my on-campus job was closed also. After traveling and putting up with mass transit, I finally got home and decided to film this video.

Today's look is all about speed. It's a look that I do almost everyday, and it takes me about 5 minutes at the most. It's perfect for school or work, or days when you want to get your makeup done quick. It's perfect for girls on the go!

Recent Videos Part Deux!!!!

Hey Beauty Loves, HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!

I've been posting a lot of videos since my last blog post. Being on vacation from school has given me a lot more free time, which I've been using to make more videos for you guys! Now what better way to spend a snowy night (if you're where I'm from) or just a chill night at home than to watch my most recent videos!!!

1. I Do My Boyfriend's Makeup



I filmed this on Thanksgiving. My boyfriend agreed to this video, although it was torturous for him (love you babe!!!)

2. Christmas Makeup!!!!



A quick little video on makeup I would do for the Holidays. I'd wear this for any party or date, not just during the holiday season.

3. Collective Haul - Forever 21, Victoria's Secret, Sephora, Sears, & Aeropostale



I did a lot of shopping in December, since it was Christmastime. But I thought it would be fun to show you guys what I purchased for myself from some of my favorite stores.

4. What I Got for Christmas :)



I made this video, not to brag or anything, but just to show you guys what I was given this year as Christmas gifts. It's not a haul video, since I didn't purchase any of this with my own money. But a lot of people on YouTube have uploaded this video, so I decided to upload my own.


So there you have it, my most recent videos. I know I don't post that much on my blog, but I promise to start posting more! Pinky Promise!!!

Stay Beautiful. Stay Strong. Stay You.

Recent Videos!!!!

Hey Beauty Lovers!!!!

OMG!!!! I've been seriously slacking on my blog posts lately. Thousands of apologies go out to you all. I've been really busy with school and work. However, the Holidays are just around the corner, which means vacation for me!! WOO HOO! I'm on campus right now, and I'll be heading to work in just a few minutes. Since I have some time right now, why not post an update for you all.

Listed Below are my recent videos from my YouTube Channel. Hope you Enjoy!

1. What's in My Bag?
Just your normal, everyday tag video. I know it's not everyone's cup of tea, but feel free to watch if you're into watching these types of videos :)

2. Aeropostale Haul!
I've been loving the new pieces that Aeropostale is selling. I used to not really shop there as much. However, I really love their new style, so I just had to go do some shopping!!!!

3. Fall Makeup Tutorial!!!!

My first official tutorial!!!!!! I purchased a BH Cosmetics Palette (at an incredible price, btw). So the day it came in, I immediately filmed a video and uploaded it. I could wear this look anytime of the day, I would just switch up the lips. For the daytime, I'd use maybe a nude or pink lip. For the evenings, I'd use a red lip (as seen in the video).

So those are just my recent videos that I've uploaded. I did have a Halloween Tutorial, but for some reason, it just wouldn't upload to YouTube. However, I will be posting some new videos as soon as possible!!!

Stay Beautiful. Stay Strong. Stay You! :)

First Video!!!!! Simple Everyday Makeup

Hey Everyone!!!

So I know I've been MIA for a little while, but I've been busy with work and getting ready to go back to school. However, I'm here to announce that my Youtube Channel is finally up and running!!!! As you can read by the title, this blog post is to showcase my first video. It's just a simple everyday look, well it's a look that I would wear everyday (LOL). It started out as a "Getting Ready with Me" video, but it became a "Simple Everyday Makeup" video because it's very late where I live and I didn't want to pick out an outfit and hairstyle that I was just going wear for like thirty seconds and then take off. Anyways, today's look is a soft eye with a bold lip. The video is down below, as well as a list of the products I used. Hope you enjoy!

Stay Beautiful, Stay Strong, & Stay Tuned for the Next Post

Shopping Haul!!!!!

hey everyone :)

so I went shopping today with one of my friends and I picked up a few things from Wet Seal, Forever 21, Claire's. originally, I was looking for something patriotic to wear for the upcoming 4th of July festivities I'll be attending, but no luck. however, I'm very happy with my purchases and I know some of the pieces I will be incorporating into my outfit for the holiday. 

the first top I bought is from Wet Seal. it is a black and white tank top with lace on the back. on the front is Audrey Hepburn, as Holly Golightly in "Breakfast at Tiffany's." I bought this shirt because I absolutely ADORE anything with Audrey on it. I'm a huge fan of hers and "Breakfast at Tiffany's" is one of my favorite movies. I also really loved the lace in the back. it's another shirt that's great for the summer and I can't wait to wear it.

this top is from Forever 21. it's just a basic cream colored top. I know the camera makes it look white, but it's actually more off-white than white (the lighting is really bad, sorry). this will probably be the top I wear for the upcoming holiday, I really like how it looks on me. I love this top, but it's a little see-through, so I'd have to wear it with a white tank underneath it. this shirt would work perfectly with some dark wash jeans and some flats or flip flops. I'd also wear this over my tankini with some Bermuda shorts as a cover-up for the beach or pool. this top works well with anything, and I'm excited to incorporate this into different outfits. 

I found this scarf at Forever 21 and I immediately fell in love with it. it's actually more of a mint color, but the lighting in my room makes it look like a darker blue. I found another mint colored scarf, but it was too plain, so I decided to purchase this scarf instead. for this picture, I decided to model it, so you can see how I would wear it. personally, I think it's perfect for the fall. not only that, but I think it's perfect to wear at night (especially for nights during the warmer times of year when it's a little cold out). scarves are an extremely versatile accessory, and I'm excited to play with different ways that I can wear it. 

this last item is something that I was ESTATIC to buy. this is a small purse that is light brown with leopard print and metal studding, and I found it at Claire's. the adjustable strap is perfect b/c, it can be as long or as short as you want. this was another purchase that was indeed love at first sight (hahaha jk). I'm OBSESSED with animal print and metal studding. so when I found this, I had to have it!!! I looked in several stores for a bag like this. a lot of stores have bags this size, but something about the bags made them inappropriate for every day use. I didn't have any preference for color, I just wanted a small bag. I was tired of carrying big purses around when there wasn't a necessity for one. A small bag is perfect for going out on a date or out with friends to the mall or a movie. even though it's small, it's perfect b/c I can have just the necessities. for me, my necessities are my phone, my wallet, my keys, my pressed powder, gum, and whatever lip color I'm wearing so I can do touch ups. smaller bags are really the best way to go, because that way you're not carrying so much. 

Stay Strong, Stay Beautiful, and Stay Tuned for my next post :)

Much Love, Maria <3

Favorite Eyeshadow Palettes Review :)

hey everyone :) 

So I wasn't sure what I wanted to post a blog about, but I was on my iPad watching some miscellaneous videos (Beauty, Comedy, Music, etc.) on Youtube, and I felt this sudden inspiration to write a new post for my blog. I did some brainstorming, and I finally came up with an idea for a blog post. As you can probably tell by the title, this post is all about my favorite eyeshadow palettes at the moment. These are the palettes that at the moment I consider them to be my "go-to" palettes. What I mean is that these are the palettes that I'm currently using for my makeup, because I love the way the colors look on me. So without any further ado, let's get on with the tutorial. 

(Just as an added FYI, I purchased all of these products with my own money, I'm not being compensated for my opinions on each product, and all opinions are my own)

The first eyeshadow palette I'm using at the moment is the Photo-Op Eye Enhancing Palette by Smashbox Cosmetics, which I purchased at Sephora. What I really love is that each palette in this collection is for a different eye color. The colors in each palette are the right colors that will make your eyes pop. I have hazel eyes, so I bought this palette, but in the future I want to buy the other palettes and see if those eye shadows would look good on me. I've played around a lot with this palette, experimenting with different color combinations and seeing which ones I like the best. however, personally, I really like how the olive green color looks on my eyelids on its own. However, I think that color would go well in the crease, with the gold color in the middle on the lid and the cream colored shadow as a highlight on the brow bone. I can think of a bunch of different combinations for eyeshadows and I cannot wait to try them. (I may have to make a video using this palette on its own, let me know in the comments if that's a good idea) 

This second palette is from Avon. It's the True Color eyeshadow quad, and it's in the shade Mocha Latte. This is one palette that I have yet to use on its own. Since I got this palette, I've been using the lightest color in the palette as a highlight and the second color and the darkest color in the palette in my crease. I experimented with the second color and darkest color by using them together. I start by putting the second color in the crease and then the darkest color on top of it. I think this method deepens the color in the crease, and it makes it look a lot better. I've been combining this crease method with a lot of my natural eye looks, and it's been working pretty well. 

The last palette, and probably my most favorite of these three palettes is Kat Von D's True Romance eyeshadow palette, and its in the shade Sinner. This is another palette I found at Sephora. I love the colors in this eyeshadow palette and I love that it comes with a pencil liner. If you buy this palette, I definitely recommend using the pencil liner that it comes with. It stays on all day and it doesn't smudge at all. I recently used this palette and I used the pink color (first from the left) on my lids, and the purple color (second from the left) in my crease. I really liked the way this shadow combination looked on me and I'm definitely gonna wear it that way again. 

Stay Strong, Stay Beautiful, & Stay Tuned for my next post :)

Much Love, Maria<3

Forever 21 Haul!!!!!!

Follow my blog with Bloglovin

hey everyone :)

now that I posted a blog earlier about the changes I made to this site and to my YouTube activity, I can now start doing what I really want to do with my blog! I recently went into Forever 21 with my friend Ashley and I picked up some pieces that I'm absolutely in love with. and since this blog is in conjunction with my Beauty/Fashion Channel, I thought why not post a blog entry about what I got from Forever 21!!!! 

the first top I bought is a gray sleeveless graphic tee. it has the logo for the Rolling Stones. I saw this shirt and I immediately fell in love with it. I tried it on and it fit perfectly. I'm so excited to wear it this summer. It's going to go perfectly with some dark wash jeans and flip flops (if I'm wearing it at night) or with Bermuda shorts (if I'm wearing it during the day)

the second top I bought is a black sleeveless shirt, with silver studs on each shoulder. the shirt also has bows that are the color of the British Flag, and the phrase "God Save the Queen" is printed on it. I was so excited to buy this shirt. I love the different elements of this top: the studding, the design on the shirt, etc. I was shopping at Forever 21 last summer and I found a shirt exactly like this one, except it didnt have studding on the shoulders. unfortunately, I couldn't find the shirt in my size back then, so I was really happy when I found this on my most recent shopping trip.

the last top I bought is this white sleeveless shirt. I know that it's a lot of sleeveless tops, but it's summer time and these shirts are perfect for this kind of weather. not only that, but I really love wearing this kind of shirt, it gives my style more of an edge. I love the design on this shirt. it's unlike anything I've ever bought from Forever 21. I think it adds a little flair to my wardrobe :)

Stay Strong, Stay Beautiful, & Stay Tuned for my next post :)

another blog post, another change :)

hey everyone!!!!

so I know it's been a long time since my last post, but I've been really busy with school and working and other activities that I've been involved in. so this blog post is to say that I'm changing the nature of this blog once again! yes I know I said that before and that this was going to be about fashion and music, but I've decided to revamp it and do something different. 

so now I would like to reintroduce you to

my blog. this blog is going to about my life in general, but with one little twist. in conjunction with my upcoming YouTube Channel, this will also feature blog posts about beauty. I'm in the process of starting a new YouTube channel that is strictly about makeup and fashion. So whatever videos I post on YouTube, (makeup tutorials, OOTD's, Shopping Hauls) there will be a blog posted about it here. I started on YouTube as a teen fan fiction writer. I was a fan fiction writer for about 2 years. But I've grown out of that and even though I'm not writing anymore, I will leave that channel as it is, because I know there are teens out there on who enjoy reading my work. 

so with a new YouTube Channel, a new blog is born. the name of this blog will be changed soon, as soon as I can think of a creative name :) but I will be posting a new entry very soon so look out for that!

Stay Strong, Stay Beautiful, & Stay Tuned <3

MEMPHIS!

 

hey everyone!!!

So if you follow me on twitter, you know that yesterday I went to NYC for the day! My mom helps organize a trip every year for some students of her college and this is the 3rd time I've gone on this trip! We went to Madame Tussauds Wax Museum and after that we went to the Shubert Theatre on 43rd Street and we went to go see Memphis, which has now become one of my favorite musicals! The story behind it and the musical numbers were FANTASTIC! I don't want to reveal too much about it, so I'll just say its about how music brings two people together, as well as those around them in the 1950s. If you live near NYC like I do, then you should definitely go see it! :)

There was a moment in the show where I realized one thing: I cannot give up my dancing. There were these dancers performing on stage and they were amazing! They were so perfect with their movements and so into it, I was mesmerized. It made me realize why I love dancing so much.  I dance because when I do, all the bad things in life go away and I'm happy because I'm doing what I love.  I've been a dancer since I was 4 years old, it's something that I cannot part from, without that in my life, I wouldn't be me.

--------------

well that's all for now! iknow this isn't about fashion, but it's technically about music so idecided to post this:) i'll post again soon! post a comment below & don't forget to follow me on twitter @Jetsetter_MsRee

My Top Five Favorites!

Hey everyone! A lot of people know that ihave a very eccentric taste in music :) Lately, there have been A LOT of songs that I've been loving! There's too many to list, so I'm keeping this simple and listing my Top 5! So here we go :)

5. Last Friday Night by Katy Perry

I'm LOVING this song at the moment. Katy Perry is an awesome singer, and all her songs are fantastic. This song just makes me feel happy, and it's one of those songs that teenage girls will sing along to in the car and will dance to if it plays at a dance or party...overall, it's just a happy song! :)

4. Who Says by Selena Gomez

When ifirst heard this song, ifell in love with it! This is another song that's great to sing along to. It's one of those inspirational songs that can just cheer you up in a heartbeat. Not only that, but ilove the message behind it. To me, that song is all about loving yourself, and it's so inspiring and uplifting to me.

3. Till the World Ends by Britney Spears

Ever since iwas little, I've always been a huge Britney Spears fan. I had dolls, her CDs, imean I was beyond obsessed (haha), ifirst heard this song and instantly ithought of clubbing. This is the type of song iwould listen to while doing my makeup to get ready for a night out. And not only that, it's catchy and good to dance to <3

 2. Super Bass by Nicki Minaj


You don't need to be a Nicki Minaj fan to like this song! It's so freaking catchy!!!! I can't resist rapping the first verse. Selena Gomez did it and so did Taylor Swift! ilove Nicki Minaj's music, and this is one of my favorite songs of hers!

1. Copy, Paste by Diggy Simmons

I can't begin to explain how much ilove Diggy Simmons! I've been a supporter of his for the longest time and I'm never gonna stop! His music is amazing and he never ceases to make me and all of his Jetsetters proud :) Currently he's on the Closer To My Dreams Tour with a bunch of other up and coming artists, so if he's in your city, go get tickets!!!!

------------

so ireally hope you enjoyed reading this! i'll be posting more entries like this very soon:) comment and tell me what you're thinking, i'd love to know what you think and what ican do to improve!!! & don't forget to follow me on my twitter @Jetsetter_MsRee

I'M BACKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK ^_^

WHATS GOOD!!!!!

alright, ijust had to get that out of the way. you're probably wondering where i've been the last few months. Well what happened was that my laptop charger was so frayed (even after my dad fixed it once before), that my laptop died and it was about a month before icould get a new one...and then after that the internet got messed up so it delayed me posting again for who knows how long, but now i'm back and ready to take on the blogging world!!! not only that, but it delayed me from posting new youtube videos (iwill post one soon!!!)

so what's been going on in my life!! hmm lemme think...well i'm finally 17!! yes you heard that right, 17!! my birthday was on November 9th, and now ican go see R-rated movies by my self. HUZZAH!!!! (not that ididnt do that before...lmfao)...i'm also dancing again this year...but the dances kinda suck because they're really slow...senior year is really good so far, with the exception of finishing my first marking period with a 74 in AP Psychology (should've taken Psych/Soc), But its the new marking period, and i'm working hard!


i'm really excited, because thanksgiving is coming up, but it's also a bummer because my uncle died in july so he's not gonna be here :/ next week is such a pointless week of school...ihave 2 full days, and then wednesday is a half-day (POINTLESS!!!)...but whatevs, iget to pig out with my family...GOOD SHIT!!! :)

well, i'm gonna go do some studying, cuz ihave this stupid paper to write...i'll write again soon :)

HAPPY TURKEY DAY!!! :)

xoxo, R♥

another manic monday

good morning, or good evening depending on what you consider being awake at 3:02 am, iknow it's late, but ijust felt like posting a new blog, even though ijust posted a new blog 5days ago about my passion, which if you haven't read, is dancing, but that's not what my blog is about today...i'm just sort of, going over my weekend, and just pointing out some of the highlights of what idid, and some things i'm really excited and happy about.

so, friday was basically wasted, because ihad injured my back on thursday after rearranging some DVDs...iknow it sounds kinda silly that iwould injure myself by doing that, but it happens...as of now, i'm still feeling discomfort, but it's not as painful as it was when iwoke up and tried to get out of bed on friday morning...but ispent my friday entirely on the couch....icame downstairs and took some pills, lied down (if that's proper grammar), and watched two of my favorite films...The first was a French film that irecorded on my DVR...it's a film from 1959 called "Les Quatre Cents Coups", or translated "The 400 Blows"...it's a great film, and iwas really excited to watch it again for the first time since isaw it in my middle school french class...the second, which iwill always adore, is Breakfast at Tiffanys...yes, iknow there is a song with that title, but the movie was made WAYYYYY before the song was though of, so I WIN!!!! :)

saturday was alot like friday, in that iwas still in a huge amount of pain, and that ididnt do much...but sunday was great!!! my cousin jamie came to my house from New York with her friend from college, Jackie and my grandma, and of course my grandmother was accompanied by her dog...needless to say, my dog weezy, and her dog santi did not get along...my dog kept growling at her whenever she got too close, which is only because santi, is a strange dog to weezy, and she's never been around santi, but my dad thinks she was just protecting her own..lmfao

anyways, so ialso ended up getting CDs, iknow that is irrelevant, but ijust thought iwould mention it...my cousin Jamie and irocked out to the runaways and gossip, it was a pretty fun time, and we caught up on some of our "thug-life" lessons :) but the reason i'm excited, is because my cousin lent me Cherie Currie's memoir. "Neon Angel: A Memoir of a Runaway". i'm really excited to read this, because irecently just saw The Runaways movie, which imentioned in a past blog, but i'm soooo excited!!!!! anyways, once iread that, i'm definitely going to post a blog sharing my thoughts on the book :)

i'm also kinda bummer though...it's monday, and that's my day of the week that ifeel drags on forever....and today ihave to do the following:

1. go to the dentist b/c ihad one appointment, but it was rescheduled...i'm definitely going to get yelled at because idon't wear my retainers :( kill me now

2. go see a doctor about my back...this might not even happen, it all depends on how my back is feeling when iwake up :/

3. go train my mini me for a tournament...i'm a second degree black belt, and i'm helping afriend's daughter train for a tournament in october...hopefully i'll be able to hdemonstrate something if i'm in good shape


well, that's my blog for today....ithink might do this every monday, but i'm not quite sure yet ;)

i'll write back soon ^_^

xoxo, ree♥

my passion :)

namaste :)

so, today, my brother and iwent to go see Step Up 3D..he had already seen it, but ididn't see it yet, so he took me to see it. out of all of the "Step Up" movies, this was my favorite, and the cool part about this movie is that it was shot entirely in 3D. all the special effects were amazing.

now the reason that i'm posting this blog is that in the movie (and iknow this is a MAJOR spoiler), the main character, Luke (such a hottie!!! lmfao), is a dancer who is also into filmmaking, and when the movie begins, we see him interviewing different dancers, and asking them why they dance. this movie made me think about why idance. like isaid in my other dance blog, i've been dancing for 12 years, since iwas 4 1/2. it's something that i've always done, and it's what i'm always going to do. in college iwanna keep dancing. it's just something that i'll never let go of, it's my passion.

now i'm gonna answer Luke's question: why do you dance? well, idance because when ido, i'm in my element. everything feels right, my problems go away, and ijust feel free. idance because it makes me feel happy. and when you see me dance, you get to see me in my true form, & my spirit shines...and ijust feel invincible:)

ok, so now ihave a challenge for all of the dancers that might be reading this. answer Luke's question, why do you dance?

leave a comment below & i'll write again soon


xoxo, ree ♥

love....

that one who makes my heart melt, everytime we lock eyes
iwish icould believe him, but instead ihear his constant lies
iknow it would never work, ijust kinda wish that was wrong
my heart is just pacing so fast, it'll explode like a cherry bomb
iwish you could see the world as isee
the one where everything is perfect between you and me
but that world doesn't exist
and so you're up to your old tricks
while ijust sit here and make my wish
that you would be with me♥

and even though you don't know how ifeel
or what i'm going through
ijust want you to know...iloveyou

whatever comes to one's mind early monday morning!!!

vitamin water, ipods, 80s movies, girl power, joan jett, and whatever else comes to mind :)

good evening (told with a vampire accent for comedic effect of course ^_^)

well, its friday, and i'm home with my dog, watching a movie while drinking vitamin water XXX. iwent out for dinner with the family, red robin (YUMMM)...hahah ihad their apple harvest chicken salad, SOOOO GOOD!!! haha. then the family and iwent to walmart. got some essentials ineeded, ya know, bottle of vitamin water, an itunes card ($25, of course), new earphones, a DVD set that had the Teen Wolf movies, and igot some other essentials that ineed not say...there's a red box at the walmart that iwent to, so irented the runaways, so some of this blog is my review or critique, or whatever you wanna call it...basically its what ithought about it.

but before we get into that, igot an itunes card, like isaid before, and igot a bunch of new tunes that ihad been wanting to get (wow, probably bad grammar) for a while...so, this is the list, in the order that igot them from itunes:

1) Mine - Taylor Swift
2) I Like It (feat. Pitbull) - Enrique Iglesias
3) I F****d the DJ - Tila Tequila
4) DJ Got Us Fallin' In Love - Usher
5) The Boys of Fall - Kenny Chesney
6) Round & Round - Selena Gomez
7) If I Had You - Adam Lambert
8) Undo It - Carrie Underwood
9) The House That Built Me - Miranda Lambert
10) There Goes My Baby - Usher
11) Our Kind of Love - Lady Antebellum
12) I Never Told You - Colbie Caillat
13) I Wanna Know You - Hannah Montana (yes iknow this is sooo dorky, but ilove the song)
14) Makin' Me Fall In Love Again - Kellie Pickler
15) Red High Heels - Kellie Pickler
16) Cherry Bomb - The Runaways
17) California Paradise - The Runaways
18) Hollywood - The Runaways
19) Everybody In Love - JLS

ok, so you see, ihave a very wide range of music here, from rock to R&B, to country, to pop to rap, ilike all kinds of music ;)

so now, i'm gonna give my critique or review or just basically, my opinion of the movie about "The Runaways" :)

so if you know anything about The Runaways, they were the first All-Girl rock & roll band. it launched the career of Joan Jett, who later became famous for her band "Joan Jett & The Blackhearts", who were famous for their cover of "I Love Rock & Roll", which happens to be, if iwere to ever do karaoke, the one song that iwould have to do!!! lol..anyways, the movie is based on Cherie Currie's memoir "Neon Angel: A Memoir of a Runaway"...Cherie Currie was the band's lead singer from late 1975 to mid-summer of 1977...she joined the band when she was 15, and left before she was 18...anyways, so enough with this playful banter of giving information, on with my review!!!

so ireally enjoyed the movie...Dakota Fanning's portrayal of Cherie Currie was amazing..her performance is transitioning her into bigger, more mature roles. ithink that now she'll be given more adult roles, because ithink that the role of Cherie was a big step for her, and it was her chance to show what she could do, and she pulled it off perfectly.

ialso loved Kristen Stewart as Joan Jett. ididnt really know much about Joan Jett, other than her band, but my cousin, Jamie, told me about her and The Runaways, and ijust love the idea of an All Girl Band during the time that women weren't really able to branch out of the ordinary..this band paved the way for other girl bands...without their influence, you wouldnt have bands like The Donnas, The Gossip, or any other girl groups...but anyways, thats some serious Girl Power

the movie to me, progressed very quickly, it didnt seem like it was 106 minutes, or however long it is...the movie was directed by a woman, so that is some serious GIRL POWER!!! 5 stars for that :) ialso loved how both Joan Jett and Cherie Currie were on the set of the film, and when you compare side by side, Kristen looks soo much like Joan Jett!!! WOAHH ihad to take a double take...anyways, nevertheless, it was a great movie, and now ireally wanna read Cherie's memoir


well, thats all for now, i'll right back soon, byee :)

a friggin night owl, not so much a pro yet, but a night owl no less...

so in the words of blair from youtube (juicystar07), im officially a night owl...like iwouldnt consider myself a first time night owl, but i'm not a pro...b/c honestly i've been up this late before, but it's only happened a few times, sporadically of course ;)

so i'm wide awake, and ihave no friggin clue why. like itried sleeping the normal way ido, but it didnt work, ijust kept sneezing. and my dog is in my bed with me, and shes getting scared by it, cuz its sudden...but then itried turning on music, but that didnt work either..and then itried flipping over and sleeping upside down, but that didnt work...so istarted doing different things...ikeep a physical (like tangible) journal aside from this blog, so iwrote an entry in there...and then iwrote a little bit more in this book that has a story that i've been writing since iwas a freshman...and now i'm writing this

legit, idk why i'm awake...so far this summer, i've never been up past 3....ok legit ijust had to pretend to be asleep b/c my mom came upstairs...but shes not anywhere near my room ithink, so ican keep typing..iliterally was about to write "tryping"...wow imisspell so many words...

i'm gonna sleep so late now, its pathetic...like last night iwent to sleep close to 4, and islept for nearly TWELVE HOURS!!!! like wtf, thats not really good for me, especially since my mom got super pissed at me when itold her what time iwoke up..but whatever...IRREGARDLESS!!!

anyways, i'm gonna try and get some sleep, because ineed sleep, and i'm tired, but ijust can't seem to fall asleep...so i'll write back soon!!!

xoxo, R♥
