Lost Anchored Souls

Hello again! I cannot believe it is already December. Christmas is so close I can already taste it. Sadly though November flew by faster than I expected. I would like to share a few favorites I had from last month. Most of my favorites have been music but I will try and pick a few other things out. 1) I should just get music out of the way, so here are some artists and songs I have been obsessed with. a) The Broods new album EverGreen. They are an indie pop group from New Zealand. It is a brother sister band and they are seriously so amazing. I think my favorite song form their album is Four Walls. It is just super chill but kind of upbeat, if that makes sense. But go check them out if you've never heard of them. They are worth it I promise. b)I have also been loving the Arctic Monkeys album AM. It's been out for a while but I was finally able to get the cd because target had it on sale for black friday! I really don't think I have a favorite but my top 5 would be Arabe

Hello all! I hope your October was wonderful. Mine was very busy and filled with many hectic midterms. But I am here to share a few favorites I had time to enjoy this month.  1) I have two shows that I am obsessed with. I won't give anything away within the shows but I'll just give you a quick response to how I feel about them. The first is Once Upon a Time. This season they are doing a Frozen theme. I do like it but I'm not sure if it is my favorite season so far. The next show is Walking Dead. After each season I am on my toes waiting for the next season to come on. The first episode of this season was absolutely perfect.  It was suspenseful and had a bit of happiness to it as well. The episodes after it have not disappointed me eaither. This season is so great. I can barley wait till this Sunday to see what happens next! 2) For music I have been in love with the new Hozier album. It's a bit of blues, rock, and alternative. It's the perfect music to walk to on

I can't believe how time flies. I have been so busy with school that I barley have time to post.  I tried uploading this post before, I forgot to save it and then it didn't upload :( Oh well I suppose; onward with the post! Instead of just posting one favorite I have decided to post a few things I've liked in the month of September. 1) I have finally started to order items off the Internet. Today I have gotten my nature box sampler order and I am so excited to try everything in it. 2) Pentatonix's album has come out and it is seriously all I listen to. It is amazing! If I had to choose my favorite song off of it, it would be between "On My Way Home" and "Standing By". 3) Big flowy shawls! I have loved these over the summer, but since the weather is a bit cooler I love wearing them even more! 4) Zoella beauty products. I don't have any of these products yet but I am planning on ordering the lotion. Everything is so pretty and well price

I have not been able to keep up with blogging because I just started my sophomore year of college this week. The weeks prior were just hectic. But I am back! My song of the week is La La Latch from Pentatonix. They are one of my most favorite groups, they are incredibly talented and amazing. I had the chance to meet them and I actually got a picture with Scott! I was so close with Mitch but... let's just say some people get a little emotional around celebrities. Any who this song is great, it's there own rendition of latch and naughty boy. PTX is an a capella group that has taken a capella to the next level. If you get a chance check them out! There new album is not out yet, only two songs from the album are out which is La La Latch and a cover of the song problem by Ariana Grande.  If you want to hear more of their music they do have other albums. My personal favorite song of theirs is Daft Punk, which is probably their most popualr. I hope everyone has a lovely week, keep sm

Well today is my birthday and I am both excited and sad. I am excited because... well it's my birthday!  But I'm a little upset because I am no longer in my "teens", I am an adult, I am 20. To me that is frightening. I'm getting closer to being on my own without my family and closer to being done with college and into the real world. I'm afraid of getting older and afraid of the life that is a head of me .  I hope this year will be awesome and hold many adventures. I am ready to take it on!

I was looking for some new granola bars to try out for college and these pumpkin - n - spice bars are really good! They are organic and have pumpkin seeds, flaxseeds, and granola. They are chewy which is great, I don't think they would have been as good if they were crunchy. There is 6 in the box, which doesn't seem like much but they are actually pretty big and filling. I almost forgot to mention they are NON-GMO (not genetically modified organisms). So if your looking for a new healthy snack to try- and if you love pumpkin flavored things- definitely try these out.

With much debate and narrowing it down to only 2 artists I have decided that my artist of the month is.... Troye Sivan! He just recently released his EP Trxye on August 15th. I have to say I love every single song. Though 5 songs may not seem like much I think it's rare when you can like every single song on an album and not have to press skip to go to the next. I also feel like it's rare (especially for me) to not have a favorite song off of an album. I honestly could not choose which song I like the most, they are all fantastic. The genre is pop but it also has an alternative kind of feel to it, at least I think so. Many of the songs are at a slower pace but I don't see it making anyone sad listening to it. I also feel like I can make many connections with the music, which I believe is so important. So what are you doing just sitting there?!?! Go and listen to this awesome EP by Troye Sivan! You will not regret it ;) If you were curious about my 2nd choice it was Arctic

My song of the week will definitely have to be "dressed in black" by sia. I just love her entire album but right now this one is my favorite. I feel like I can connect with a lot of the lyrics at times. The song is so rhythmic I just feel you could passionately dance to it... and I can't even dance! Sia is a great artist and-as I do with every artist I bring up- I suggest you give her music a chance and listen to her new album 1000 Forms of Fear.

I have been so busy this week with work and getting ready for six flags tomorrow that I nearly forgot to post my song of the week! This week a song I have been listening to non stop is Happy Little Pill by Troye Sivan. I love everything about the song, I also love Troye Sivan. It is the first song from his EP TRXYE that was released, the rest of the EP will be released August 15th (8/15/14). I love the pace of the song and it's really catchy, so it's easy to get stuck in you're head. I really hope everyone will check Troye out because he has worked really hard on everything, and I feel like he really deserves to be recognized by more people.

I love doing my nails because it is just a huge stress reliever and with everything going on I really need something to get my mind off of it all. So this week I sat down and decided to do a simple floral pattern. The polishes I used are... Sinful colors 851 Boom Boom Sally Hansen Xtreme wear 850 you're crabby Wet n wild fastdry 226C SaGreena the Teenage Witch Pure Ice 277CP Home Run I love this design for summer and I feel like its not to flashy but cute enough to catch people's attention ;)

It's a little late but I am going to post my song of the week because I was just on vacation. My song of the week is Laughter Lines by Bastille. This is one of my favorite songs on the whole album. It has the best intro, it sounds like alien music. Thats the only way i can think of how to describe it. I also really love Bastille, I think they are such a creative band. This song is just beautiful and perfect. It just makes me think of the future and the love I hope to have with someone. I would say it's in my top 10 favorite songs. If you haven't heard it I would really recommend listening to it :)

This month I have been OBSESSED with listening to the artist Wet. I love every single song from the EP album that's out. My favortie song from the album may be Don't Wanna Be Your Girl, but I really just love all of the songs. I found the song on spotify randomly and loved all of the other songs as well. I would recommend listening to any of the songs. I like to listen to them before bed because the music is calm and relaxing.

The song I am in love with this week would have to be Vagabond by MisterWives. I heard it from the show Finding Carter (its the opening song). It also introduced me to the band which I love. I also love their song Coffins. But I have been listening to Vagabond all week non stop. Its just really catchy and upbeat :)

Pastels are my favorite colors, especially pink. I also really love doing my nails, and recently I found some polish that will definitely be an all time favorite. Right now Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Xtreme Wear has limited edition pastel nail colors! I wanted to buy all of them so badly but for now I picked out two. They are some of the best colors I have ever owned, and I have a loooot of polish. The first is a yellow called Teeny Bikini. This is the first yellow that shows up really well. I used only two coats and its so pretty. Even with one coat it still looked nice and it went on smoothly. The second is a pink called You're Crabby. The color reminds me of a rose. I think it's really unique, I've never had a color like it before. There are many other pastels and I'm sure I will get them before they disappear.

I love music, but who doesnt? I listen to pretty much anything. I'm not picky about music and I love being introduced to new songs and artists. My song of the week was a little hard to pick because I've had so many I loved this week! But I made up my mind and I'd say my song of the week is Bridges by Broods. I've been listening to it non stop for nearly a month. It's genre is indie pop but I feel that it could also fit into alternative. I love listening to it in the car because its upbeat and I feel like I can dance to it ♡

I have such an urge right now to go on adventures.  I'm tired of coming home everyday after work and doing nothing. I want to feel alive. I just want to do something rather than sit here & waste my life away. I want to make memories that I can look back and smile on. I want to be proud of the life I'm living and say that I didn't waste a single moment of it. I want to live in another state, travel, and just be happy. I want to go on late night car rides, sit in the woods and watch the stars. I want friends who can experience the joy with me. I am done with these boring nights. I have wanderlust in my veins and I'm going to spend the rest of my time living ♡

These portable chargers are really awesome! I got them both at rue 21. The black one was about $15 and the pink was $5. When I went to summerfest I knew I'd be taking a lot of pictures and videos so my battery would die before the end of the night. So I bought these and I was so happy I did! They are seriously life savers especially when you know you'll be using your phone a lot :)

Oh my gosh! Okay so I may be a little late here but I tried sugar scrub for the first time tonight. I just tried it cuz I was like hey why not its only 1 cup of sugar ( I used white) and 1/2 cup of oil (I used olive oil). You can also add a fragrance to it like vanilla of lavender.  At first I was like it probably won't make my legs that smooth, it probably won't do anything. Well was I wrong!  My legs have never felt so smooth! All you do is mix the ingredients, scrub it on your legs, shave it off, and then rinse the oil off. My legs are so so smooth and I seriously want everyone to try this! Its not the best picture but this is what mine looked like :)

I wish this flavor wasn't limited edition! It is so tangy and sweet, but just the right amount of both ♡ If you can get your hands on this before its gone I highly recommend it!

These are three of my favorite scents from bath and body works and they just remind me of summer. Velvet sugar is a sweet scent and a little hard to describe, but its perfect for any occasion. Pink chiffon kind of has a very light hint of vanilla and stays on great all day. The final scent is the Endless Weekend lotion. I don't usually like a lot of lotion scents because they never smell as good as the perfume, but in this case I think its better than the perfume. It's sweet and not overpowering at all and goes great with any perfume. Another fragrence mist that I liked this summer is beautiful day. Its a little stronger than the others and isn't sweet instead it's more like dew and flowers. The smaller bottles have a deal going on where you can buy three items for $12, otherwise each bottle is $6. It's an awesome deal in my opinion because I don't like to spend a lot of money and perfume and lotions. I hope these scents are permanent in their collection because

These snacks are really good and cheap too :) I found them at walmart for about $1.50. They are healthier than potato chips and taste great too! I like the lightly salted flavor a little better than the ceaser but they are both delicous. I'm not sure if there are any other flavors but I highly recommend them.

I feel like this is me all of the time. I get so wrapped up in work and worrying about the future and what I will do with my life that I forget to have fun. This is a quote by Dolly Parton and I believe it is so true (I don't own the picture but I made the edit). I think we all need to take some time to smell the roses and appreciate what we have around us :)
