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

The Pretty Reckless - Zombie

Ingrid Michaelson - Home
Taylor Swift - Out of the Woods

If you have any music recommendations please leave them below in the comments, I love finding new music and discovering new artists!

Hello Lovelies!
I hope you all had a great weekend, I had to work yesterday, but I did get Saturday off. I got to see my chiropractor and I was planning on going to the theater to wat San Andreas, but when we got there it wasn't playing. So instead we came home and watched American Sniper, all I'm gonna say is if you haven't watched it yet, go watch it, it was so good!

This month I've mostly been listening to older music, there's been a few new songs I like, but I didn't like them enough to include them on this playlist!
Here's this months playlist!

Bryan Adams // Here I Am
Sia // Titanium
Keith Urban // For You

Katy Perry Firework

The Script // Hall of Fame

Kanye // Stronger

Shakira // Hips Don't Lie

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!

Olly Murs ft. Demi Lovato - Up

Taylor Swift - All You Had To Do Was Stay
Lee Brice - That's When You Know It's Over
Kelly Clarkson - Heartbeat Song
Maddie & Tae - Girl In A Country Song
Francesca Battistelli - It's Your Life
Bethany Dillon - Beautiful

Bomshel - Fight Like A Girl
Ingrid Michaelson - Home
Carrie Underwood - Play On

That's it for today, I hope you enjoyed this months playlist and if you have any music recommendations please leave them below, I would love to check them out!

Weekly Inspiration

"You'll always know more in the future than you know now." - Taylor Swift

I love this quote so much, it's so true, you think you know so much, and then a year later you look back and you realize just how little you really did know. And then you look back and think the same thing every day, every week, and every month of every year you spend on this earth.

Your always going to know more in the future, even if you think there's no more surprises left in life, you will be amazed at what can happen in the blink of an eye!

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

Rizzy Home Cable Knit Throw $49

I love buying blankets and throws, my addiction to buying blankets is almost as bad as my candle addiction, the only thing keeping me from buying this one is the price.

Fresh Sugar Ruby Romance $18.00

I've never tried the Fresh Sugar lip products but I really want to, my lips are really flaky and dry so I want to see if the Fresh Sugar would work!

Taylor by Taylor Swift $50.00
When this perfume was first released I didn't think I would like it, but after I tested it I did. It's not my favorite Taylor Swift perfume, but I would still buy it!

Ashley Brooke Designs Everyday I'm Hustlin' Mug $23.00
This mug is so cute, there's no explanation needed!

I've been on an It Cosemtics kick here lately, I've heard so many amazing things, and all of their products look amazing and I don't know what to try first. I know I want their limited edition holiday eyeshadow palette, I'm also interested in their foundation and their brushes!

Bath & Body Works Foxy Lady Super Soft Slippers $16.50
Who doesn't need a soft pair of slippers for wearing around the house?

BAN.DO 'Blah Blah Blah' Thermal Travel Mug $14.00
So adorable!

Steve Madden 'Delerius' Pump $50.00
My closet is in serious need of these shoes! Fun Fact: The only pair of heels I own are one pair of wedges and one pair of boots with a wedge heel, so I don't have any real heels, so I really do need these!

Smashbox Step-By-Step Contour Kit $45.00
Lately I've been wanting to start contouring, but I don't own any products to contour with, I found this Smashbox set and I really like the colors, I think it would be great on my skin tone and I really like the brush that comes with the kit.

Aren't these glasses just perfect?!

Dream ID Bracelet $33.00
I'm in love with this bracelet, there's some more like it, but this is my favorite one! It's been a while since I've bought any jewelry and even longer since I've splurged on bracelets, so I definitely see myself buying this in the next few weeks!

Blogmas Day 4: Under $25 Holiday Gift Guide

Hello lovelies, I hope you're all having a great December so far, today I have for you my Under $25 Holiday Gift Guide!

 I 100% believe that it's the thought that matters when it comes to gift giving, sometimes when you're on a budget it can be hard to find a gift, below is 14 Holiday Gifts Under $25. 

1989 by Taylor Swift $12.00

I think this album is amazing, I'm going to be honest the first time I listened to it I hated it, but once I listened to it a second time I started to like more of the songs. Honestly I still prefer Red over 1989, but I think this album would be a great choice for any music lover on your gift list!

LORAC 'Pocket PRO' Palette $15.00

I've never tried anything by LORAC, but I've heard nothing but good things about their eye shadow palettes, I think this mini palette would be perfect for someone who travels a lot, or someone who doesn't like to buy big palettes! 

Kate Spade New York Dot Insulated Tumbler $18.00

I love how simple and cute this tumbler is, 

Jesus Calling $7.99

I decided to add this because it's a gift you can give to someone of all ages. My mom has this book, and she loves it, she reads it first thing every morning, and she says that it helps her get through a tough day!

Waterproof Wreless Bluetooth Shower Speaker & Hands-Free Speakerphone $24.99
I NEED this shower speaker, I love listening to music! I'm too much of a chicken to risk taking my phone into the bathroom to listen to music while I'm showering, so this is kind of perfect for me!

Essie Nail Polish $8.00

I've actually never tried Essie nail polishes, I've heard great things about them, but they aren't sold anywhere in the town I live in. I've never been one to buy nail polishes online, but I really like the these two colors, the pink is Forget Me Nots, and the glitter is Carnival.

Govino Flexible Shaterproof Recyclable Wine Glasses Set of 4. $14
I really like the look of these wine glasses, they're the perfect unisex gift, and they don't have to be used as wine glasses. You could use them as regular glasses and if you did use them as wine glasses you wouldn't have to worry about cleaning up glass if you dropped one.

Kate Spade New York Notebooks $12.00
Aren't these just the cutest?

Julep Beauty Glitter Nail Color $14.00
I usually hate glitter, but during the winter I love it! I don't like removing it, but it's worth it when I look down and see my pretty nails. This color is Yumi, I also like the color Estelle.

LORAC 'The Royal Eye' Mascara and Eyeliner Duo (Limited Edition) $22.00
This eyeliner mascara duo is gorgeous, I love the color combo, and the price is amazing!

NYX 'Natural Eye' Eyeshadow Palette $7.00
When I wear makeup most of the time I prefer to stick with a natural look, this NYX palette is at the top of my wishlist this Christmas, the colors are amazing, and the price is just right!

BAN.DO 'But First, Coffee' Thermal Travel Mug $14.00
I first saw this a few weeks ago on instagram and I fell in love, then when I went looking for it online I found another by the same brand, that's pink & black with 'blah, blah, blah' written all over it. I will definitely be buying one of these, I just don't know which I want more!

Alex and Ani Initial Wire Bracelet , 7.25" $24.86
I really love this bracelet, it's so simple and classy, and it's made out of recycled materials!

XoXo,

Lori

My Top 5 Songs of the Moment

Hey y'all, sorry for the late post today, I was having a hard time deciding what to post today.

I eventually decided that today I would share with you my top 5 songs of the moment, I've never done this before, so I thought today would be a good day to give it a go.

Out of all the songs below, I have to say that my favorite is All Too Well. I have been completely obsessed with it for the past month and I refuse to take it off repeat!

Back in January Lucy Hale released her first single 'You Sound Good to Me' and I honestly wasn't impressed, she has an amazing voice, and I felt like she could do better. A few days ago I saw that her entire album was on her Vevo channel and I decided to give it a listen. From the entire album my favorite songs are Road Between, Kiss Me, Goodbye Gone, Nervous Girls, and Red Dress featuring Joe Nichols. After listening to the album I don't think I'll buy the entire album, but I will buy a few of the songs separately!

MKTO is a really random pick, I first heard of them last week after it was announced they would be an opening act for Demi Lovato on her world tour, and so I decided to listen to them, and I liked a few of their songs!

I guess that's all for today, I hope you liked it! Let me know what you think in the comments. What are your top 5 songs of the moment?

XoXo, 

Lori

Hello lovelies, I hope you had a great weekend! Today I want to take a moment to talk to y'all and let you know what's been going on and why I haven't been posting as much recently.
Basically what's going on is that I'm taking the ACT this Saturday and I've been studying really hard, and I've been trying to keep up with blogging and my school work at the same time, and it's just a lot to handle.
At this point I've had to put my school and studying first, which means that I've had to neglect blogging the past few weeks. But the big day is Saturday, and after that I going to take a few days to relax and then I'm going go make sure I give this blog a some much needed TLC!
So there's that and here's this months playlist.

So that's all for today, I hope you liked this months playlist, and hopefully next week I can get back on track with my normal posting schedule.
XoXo,
Lori
