Currently: November 2016

Hello Lovelies!

It's been a while, probably a year actually, since I last did a Currently post. I'm not sure why I stopped doing them, I've always had fun with it, it's a quick easy post, and I get to share with you what's going on.

So here's what's going on in my life this month!

Life Update: Demi Lovato, Promotion, Holiday World

Hello Lovelies!

I cannot believe it's already the end of September! So much has happened this month, it started out really good and then of course the bad had to happen and ruin some of my happiness. I'm still really happy and so far, September has been the best month of 2016!

September 6th & 7th
On the 6th, I found out that I had won tickets to see Demi Lovato and Nick Jonas in Nashville, Tennessee at Bridgestone Arena! First of all, Demi is my all time favorite musician, I love her and her music so much. I was freaking out, I decided to take my best friend Morgan with me. I've never drove in a big city like Nashville, so she offered to drive.

I know they were free, but the seats we got were awful. Thankfully my best friend is much crazier than me and she decided we were going to seat hop. We started out being able to see behind the stage and not being able to see the screen. After walking all the way to the other side of the arena we ended up in some really good seats.

Eventually, later on we were joined by some other seat hoppers and they made the concert even better, even if one of them did give me a headache by screaming directly in my ear the whole concert. Our new friends were two very drunk, very gay guys, and I love them and I wish they were my friends!

When Nick Jonas came out on stage, the one standing beside me started screaming at the top of his lungs, "Daddy! That's daddy!" Even though he was hanging all over me, screaming in my ear, and booty bumping all night, it was the best night of my life.

By the end of the night the total line up for the show was Cord Overstreet, Mike Posner, Nick Jonas, and Demi Lovato. Also, Demi performed her duet with Brad Paisley, then Nick came out and they all three sang a song. And then, (yes there's more) Nick Jonas performed with Thomas Rhett, before Demi came out to close the show.

September 9th
As some of you may know I've worked at Walmart as a cashier since June 2015, I've been trying to transfer departments for a while now. On September 9th, I got the good news that I got the position I applied for. On September 17th, I started my new position as a jewelry sales associate.

September 10th
This was the day I got to go to Holiday World, I had only been one other time and it wasn't a good experience, I almost drowned on my first visit. I ended up not going to the water park this time, (I still can't swim), but I still managed to get completely soaked.

My advice if you ever go to Holiday World, make sure you go on the Raging Rapids, it is my favorite ride in the park. I went with my mom and my two little cousins (ages 5 &12) and they loved it too, we ended up riding it 7 times, and they wanted to keep going.

September 13th
This is the day the bad decided to come back into my life. I was going down stairs to get ready for work when I fell. I fell down 10 stairs and I have no idea what happened. I ended up with bruising from my neck to my back, thankfully nothing was broke. But it's been a week and a half and I'm still in a lot of pain. My neck and my hips/butt got most of the impact, my chiropractor says it's going to take time for me to heal.

Overall, it was a pretty good month, I'm gonna do my best to get back on track with blogging starting tomorrow!
How has September treated you? Let me know below!

Weekly Inspiration

I am really trying hard to live by this quote at the moment, I've been dealing with a lot of stress as I mentioned on Friday, but I'm trying to count on the blessings instead of my problems.

Goal: Practice patience, stay calm, and focus on finding solutions for my problems instead of bottling it all up.

July Playlist

Hello Lovelies!

I hope you all had a great weekend, I know I sure did! Luckily I had Saturday off work and I got to go to Bowling Green to my step-sisters college graduation. While we were in Bowling Green we went to the mall and did some shopping!

My favorite part was going into Ulta and getting matched for the Urban Decay Naked Skin makeup collection. I've been wanting to try the products for a while, but I didn't know what shade to order, I ended up only buying the foundation, but I think I'm going to go ahead and order the concealer online! I really like how it felt on my skin and I'll definitely write a review in a few weeks!

Anyway, here's this month playlist! Enjoy!

Christina Aguilera - Army of Me 

Demi Lovato - Cool for the Summer

Tyler Farr - Withdrawals
Reba McEntire - Going Out Like That
Keith Urban - For You
Nickelback - Far Away

Sleeping With Sirens - If You Can't Hang

April Playlist

Hello lovelies!

I hope you all had a great weekend, I spent the weekend catching up on some much needed sleep!

Today I have for you my monthly playlist, normally I would make a picture for this, but I don't think this months playlist is worthy of it. Honestly I'm in a music slump at the moment, all of my favorite musicians are due to release new albums this year so I'm stuck with old music.

I don't mind listening to old music, I just wish I had some new music to listen  to. If you have any recommendations on any new artists that you think I should check out please let me know in the comments.

Anyway, here's this months playlist!

Nelly Furtado - Try

Taylor Swift - Untouchable

Demi Lovato - Believe In Me

Big & Rich - Lost In This Moment

Will Chase - If I Drink This Beer

Ellie Goulding - Beating Heart

Ellie Goulding - Love Me Like You Do

Lonestar - Amazed

My favorite song of the month was probably If I Drink this beer, I first heard the song last month on Nashville and I fell in love!

What have you been listening to this month? Let me know below and don't forget to leave your music recommendations!

Senior Year Madness

Hello lovelies!

Today I want to take some time to talk to y'all about what's been going on. Recently I haven't been on as much and I haven't been keeping up with my blogging schedule. I feel really bad about not being on lately, but things are improving and things will be back to normal soon!

Honestly last month was horrible, I feel like I accomplished nothing and I'm not happy with how things went. But, it's a new month and I'm ready to get back on track.

Basically senior year has been really stressful, but I'm finally starting to get back on track and things are going back to normal!

So here's a little inspiration to get you through till next week! 

Next week I have a few special blog posts planned and I can't wait to share them with you!

XoXo,

My Favorite Songs of 2014

Hello lovelies,

My taste in music is constantly changing, I'm constantly discovering new (and old) songs and artists! I love music, I love listening to it when I'm sad, when I'm depressed, and of course when I'm happy!

This year I discovered and fell in love with a lot of songs, and today I'm going to list my 10 favorite songs of the year!

Lucy Hale - Road Between
Road Between is probably my favorite song of 2014, I love the message behind it, and Lucy's voice sounds amazing.

Taylor Swift - Shake It Off
Shake It Off is one of my favorite songs off of 1989, the album wasn't my favorite, but I did love some of the songs, and I think Shake It Off is great.

Demi Lovato - Let It Go
Who doesn't love Let It Go???

John Legend - All of Me
I've never been a huge John Legend fan, but I really do love this song, and I've listened to it a lot this year.

SoMo - Ride
I first discovered SoMo earlier this year and I immediately fell in love with his voice, he is an incredible artist and I can't wait to hear new music from him!

Rascal Flatts - Rewind
I've grown up listening to Rascal Flatts and they've never put out a song or album I don't like, so it's not surprise that this song is on my list of favorites!

Miranda Lambert ft. Carrie Underwood - Something Bad
The first time I listened to this song I really didn't like it, but once I listened to it some more I really started loving it. It's a great motivation song, it gets you pumped up and ready to go!

Cher Lloyd - Sirens
I had heard of Cher before she released Sirens, but I never was a huge fan. Sirens is so different from her other music and I love it!

Carrie Underwood - Something In The Water
I've been a huge fan of Carrie's since her first album, so once again, it's no surprise that this song makes it onto my list!

Nick Jonas ft. Demi Lovato - Avalanche 

NEMI!!! Okay I admit it, I'm a huge Nemi shipper, they would look so cute together, but they're both in relationships and I respect that. This song is incredible, the notes Demi hits in this song is some of her highest notes and their voices sound amazing together!

There are so many more songs that I've loved this year, but it would take forever to list them, so I'm going to leave you with these 10 songs! What were your favorite songs this year? Let me know below!

XoXo,

Lori
