Good morning!
It's really rare for me to ever say that. Firstly, I'm just not the type of person that goes around being all jolly in the morning. Secondly, when I wake up it's usually afternoon (at least during this summer).
The reason I'm up is well... Cause I didn't sleep. I tried sleeping early but ended up waking up at 3am so I just decided to stay up. It'll be easier for me to sleep early today so that I can be well rested before I head out to Alabama at about dawn.
I haven't mentioned this before but I'm going on a trip to Alabama and Atlanta. My childhood friend recently moved to Alabama which is now closer to my house, about 5-6 hours of driving. I'm not sure if there's anything exciting to do in Alabama, but it's only for a few days. Plus the whole purpose is to see my friend.
So yes, I am going away to Alabama and Atlanta, Georgia for about a week but I will be blogging or vlogging and taking tons of pictures. So stay tuned for that!
Talk to you later! Byeeee

Films of the Week
For some reason this week I was really in a movie mood. I still have a list of things I want to watch, but for now I want to share the movies I've seen so far.
I also want to mention that all of these images are from tumblr.
 | |
| Sorry for such an unoriginal representation of the movie. This was the only picture I could find on tumblr of the movie itself. When I typed Push, all I found were pictures of ugly bikinis... Anyway this movie was pretty bad. I mean it has a nice plot but the whole make up of it was lacking. The concept of governments controlling these people with powers is cool and all but something about this movie .. it was lacking something. Not to mention the poor acting skills. |
 | |
| Marie Antoinette. Overall the movie is just as bad as Push, but I decided to place it after Push just for the sole reason that the picture was pretty. Meaning, the costumes, the food, the scenery, etc. Plus, I personally like Kirsten Dunst as an actress. The reason I didn't like this movies is because I feel like nothing really happened. |
 | |
| I've seen this movie before, but I had to watch it again after Melanie mentioned it in our Summer Trends video. Of course this is a good movie. I must admit that after watching this movie, my thoughts of not going into the fashion business seems like a good decision. I don't think I can take the pressure and the whole social networking thing that fashion people must do. |
 |
| The Virgin Suicides. Melanie recommended this movie to me and I know it's sort of a classic. To me it was just mediocre. I might've liked it more if I understood what was going on. I don't know.. the whole movie just didn't make sense to me. Oh and if you've seen this movie.. can someone tell me why that one guy left Lux in the football field? |
 |
| The Breakfast Club. I should probably ashamed to say that I've never seen this movie until now. Everyone always talks about this movie and it's like a classic. I definitely see why. It's a great movie! Nothing more to say about it. |
 |
| Remember Me. Sometimes I just love watching romance films and this was a good one! I am not a huge Robert Pattinson fan nor am I a twilight fan, but I have to admit that I thought Robert looked really good in this movie. I am a bit embarrassed to say this ...but umm.. I cried at the end because I was not expecting that ending at all! Sometimes not knowing at all what the movie is about is a good thing, because then when movies have a twisted ending it just hits you more. |
 |
| Almost Famous. If you haven't seen this movie already, GO WATCH IT NOW!! It was absolutely amazingggg! I'm always so interested in the 60's and 70's generation so this was perfect for that. Anyways, just watch it. |
This might not necessarily be an interesting blog post, but whatever because I wanted to share it! So deal with it! haha I will probably do more of these in the future.
Oh and if you have any movie recommendations please let me know!
Goodbye folks! :)

OOTD: iphone edition
This just came in the mail this morning! I'm so in love with this case. Black cat + iphone = the perfect combo! I've been using just a simple light blue plastic iphone case for a while now and I was getting a bit tired of it. So I was on the search for a new case online and I came across this one. I had to get it! Just thought I would share it with you guys <3

DIY: Floral Headband
Today I went to Melanie's house so we can film a DIY on a floral headband. Melanie wore it on our Summer Trends video and people requested us to do a DIY. I was curious myself as to how to make one because tons of people on lookbook, youtube, and various blogs have been rockin' the floral headband this summer. I thought it would be pretty easy to make, but really it was more tedious than I thought it would be. However, the hard work paid of because now I have a really pretty floral headband!
If you want to make one yourself, check out our video on how to make the floral headband!

Prepare for a long rambling.
Hello there!
Today I will not provide any pictures. It's just gonna be me rambling about some random things. I am allowed to do that right? After all this is my blog. I just feel like writing and so here I go...
First of all, I will share with you what I did today, but before that I want to state that my life is not exciting at all so it would be kind of impossible for me to write about my life daily. When I do write about my life it wouldn't be a long laundry list of awesome things. In fact, I barely go out. I have no where to really go and people rarely ask me to hang out. I'm not trying to be all dramatic, just stating the facts. Sad life I know. I used to be really emotional about it, but now I'm completely used to it and don't really mind it. Although, I wouldn't mind having more of a social life. Basically what I'm trying to say is that I would love to put some more content on my blog frequently but I just don't know what I would put. I don't think I will have a lot of life blogging simply because I don't do much. Unless if you consider sleeping, eating, breathing, or going to the grocery store exciting...
Anyways so what did I do today?
The only "exciting" thing I did today was that I went to photography class. I don't think I mentioned this before but I have been taking photography lessons. I love it!.. even if everyone there is over the age of 30. It is a Photography 101 workshop for 5 days. One class per week on Tuesdays. Next Tuesday will be my last class. I learned a lot in that class and the instructor is great! Of course I still have a lot to learn, but I was able to learn the basics of photography and I think that's progress! Every week we have a photo assignment to turn in and when the class meets we show the photo to everyone in the class so we can talk about it. I really enjoy that part of the class because it's interesting to see how others take pictures and it's a great way for others to say what they think about my photo; that's really a rare opportunity for me because I don't know anyone that is interested in photography enough to give constructive criticism towards my photography. After the last class, I am planning on uploading every photo assignment I did. I'm actually really excited to upload them because, unlike other photography things I put up on this blog, these were done with a purpose. It's sort of like "publishing" my work. I'm not saying the other pictures I upload are less important because they are important to me. I have to admit though that I am still iffy about the concept of uploading my "photography" pictures with my random day to day/fashion pictures because I don't want them to get mixed up... I'm having a hard time trying to say what I actually think lol...whatever. I also don't want people to just copy my pictures and spread it all over the internet because in the end these are MY pictures that I put a lot of effort into. So I guess to those of you who have a strong inclination to take my pictures, please at least link it back to my blog. Hopefully I can trust you guys. I mean I doubt anyone would even want to take my amateur pictures, but for precautionary measures I just wanna put it out there.
... I don't really know what I'm trying to write here lolol... I'm just going with the flow.
Because I tend to feel more lively at night, I wanted to be a good, productive girl (because I haven't been at all lately) so I decided to start my college application process. YES the infamous college apps. I can't believe I'm that old already... never thought this day would come. I honestly don't even know how this thing works. It's super overwhelming. Since it is late at night I didn't wanna go all overboard and complete like all the sections of the application, I thought it would be a good idea to just start off by making the accounts for each college I want to apply to. Of course, life, being its usual self, can't go according to plan. I was able to make an account for UF without any trouble. But then I got to UCLA, or more specifically UC applications. I was halfway through with making the account and I got to the section that told me to check which semester I was applying for. Fall 2013 wasn't on there... After freakin out a bit, I decided to do some research like a sane person. Found out that the apps for fall 2013 don't open up until like October... This frustrated me because I just made a freakin account for Spring 2013... I'm still going to be in high school spring of 2013... So I emailed the uc admissions people. Obviously because it's past midnight they wouldn't reply till morning, meaning my panic attack won't go away until I get some kind of reassurance from them saying that they will delete the account. I mean what is up with that ... counselors tell me to start applying for college during the summer. So here I am trying to be productive, only to find out that colleges actually have "opening days" for the application. -____- To my knowledge, most of the college websites I looked at has only one huge button that says APPLY NOW and so it's easy to start applying, but all the important details (such as opening dates) are basically hidden. The thought of that just makes me paranoid because how am I supposed to apply correctly when I don't know what's going on. That is why I stopped making the accounts for other colleges because I am too scared to go further. My deepest concern: what if I mess up?... I want this to be perfect because this is a huge deal. If anyone is actually reading this and knows when the common app is "open" for fall 2013...can you tell me?
I think I'm done rambling. I don't really know what else to say. I'm kind of brain dead at this point. The time is now 3:09 AM. I should sleep. Am I going to? I think not.
Goodbye folks. (<-- why did I say folks..)
P.S. I doubt anyone made it this far, but if you did, please comment below. I will definitely gain some respect for you. I know that if it was me and I was browsing through some random person's blog, if a post is this long I wouldn't even bother reading it.
Anyways if you read all of this, comment below! :)

Thanks MelMel for the Monet
My awesome friend, Melanie, bought me this Monet book from the Louvre. She knows how much I love Monet so this is a perfect gift. It's all in French though... I don't know French. Who cares? Anything in French is cool!
Thanks Melanie :)
Summer Sunset
 |
| Rainbow! |
Yesterday Melanie slept over and we filmed our Summer Trends video. In the afternoon it was bright and super sunny but then it started to rain... YAY for Florida's bipolar weather! -_- Luckily the rain stopped right around sunset, letting us film our floral outfits in a gorgeous setting!
At night after our long editing process was over we attempted to do a rice flour/honey/green tea mask as a little reward. The mask didn't look pretty but really... what mask is? It managed to make our skins really soft though. This morning I realized a lot of my breakouts were gone so I'm considering doing masks weekly.
In fact, I've been thinking about starting to get into skincare routines. After watching tons of youtube videos on skincare, I realized that the reason for my acne is probably because I don't take care of my face (and obviously the teenage hormones). I always thought that washing the face day and night was all anyone really needed and that people who were skincare obsessed were just being superfluous. Silly me.
Anyways if you haven't already seen our Summer Trends video here it is....
