Now to end with some music that I've been grooving to for weeks now! First up is Zebra (Nuera remix) by Temple One. I can't get enough of this song! It's trance of course, and the melody is amazing. At the beginning it makes me feel like I'm going on a trip or adventure, haha. Then it mellows out and gets insanely pretty. Definitely give it a listen.

Second is Niggas in Paris by Kanye and Jay-Z. I don't really like or agree with the first word in the title, but this song is hilarious to me! I always listen to it when I need to smile or laugh. (Side note- my first cat is named after Jay-Z, but my dad renamed him to Psycho because he's so jumpy and paranoid. So when I heard this song for the first time and Jay-Z calls himself psycho in one of the verses, I burst out laughing! :D)

I saved the best for last: We Found Love by Rihanna. OMG. If you haven't seen this video, WATCH IT RIGHT NOW! It's just amazing. I watched it about 3 times a day for a week when it premiered. First of all, it's like trance, electro, techno and pop all at the same time, which are pretty much all my favorite genres. Plus, the scenery and plot in this video are really gorgeous (and so is the guy in the video, I'm just saying...). I know it's just a music video and not that deep, but I think it really captures toxic relationships, etc, which is what Rihanna had when she was with Chris Brown. The guy in the video looks just like Chris, so I get that that;s what she was going for. It's really interesting. Just watch it, you'll love it too! :)

Hope you liked them! Later, lovelies.

Aloha, lovelies!

Can I just say that my favorite month is finally here?! Excited doesn't even begin to cover it! My birthday is also only THREE days away! I'm not all that happy about turning 24 (it sounds so old!), and even though this sounds a bit selfish, I can't wait for presents/money, haha. But really, I'm ready to just hang out with my family too because we haven't done that in a while. Last year I made my own birthday cake and I'm most likely going to do the same this year. As for birthday plans, as of right now, I have none. I was thinking of getting a few friends and Josh together and go out to dinner or something like that. I'll have to think on it more though.

In other news, school is nearly halfway done! It's actually going by really fast week by week; at least it has been for me. And I've been doing so well in my classes! I haven't gotten anything below a B. I usually have at least one C in there somewhere. But I'm not gonna jinx myself. :) I still need to make my FINAL schedule for next year, but these two classes are trying to give me problems. It'll work out though.

So, regarding weight loss and healthiness, I'll admit that I fell off pretty hard these past two weeks. Halloween candy is beyond tempting! Plus I haven't had too much motivation to work out or anything. But I discovered something that has really boosted my inspiration for healthiness X 10. That something is tumblr! It's a bit like Twitter, but it doesn't have a type limit and is very image-based in design. There are tons of healthy food and exercise blogs on there that just really boost my confidence and get me going! I still have a goal to have all my weight loss be done by this time next year, but because of tumblr, I've started to realize that it doesn't matter when you get to your goal weight as long as you start on the path.

Since I follow so many positive blogs, they're always in my dashboard (a newsfeed, basically) and are there to motivate me when I just don't feel like doing anything, or that I can do this at all. It's really exciting! Here are a couple of images that I saw today on my dashboard:

(For when I really want something awful for me!)

(Always a good thing to remember :])












I was going to end with some music, but I figured this is pretty long enough already, so I'll make a part two in just a second. Later, lovelies! <3
