Books I Plan to Read in 2014

Hey y'all so today I want to share with you some of the books I plan on reading this year. I know for sure I will be reading most of them because I just ordered five of them through my local bookstore, and they should be arriving soon.

       

      Out of this entire list the book I'm looking forward to reading the most is definitely the top book. If you've been reading my blog for a while, then you know how much I loved the first three books in the Treadwell Academy series, so I'm super happy to announce that she just released the fourth book and I can't wait to read it.

     Well that's all for today, I hope you enjoyed it, what books are you looking forward to reading this year? Let me know in the comments below.

                                                           XOXO,

                                                                  Lori Ann

My Studying Essentials!

    I decided today that I wanted to continue on with the school them. Today I'm going to give you my Studying Essentials, and why they are essential to my studying routine.

Studying Essentials by loriboyd 

1. Sweaters

  -When I'm studying I always make sure I have a sweater near by just in case I get cold.

2. Coffee/ Hot Chocolate Mug

  -  I don't drink coffee much, but during the winter I drink hot chocolate ALL the time. Sometimes I'll drink coffee, but only if I can get it just right.

3. Heating Pad

 - This is actually something new I've recently discovered. When I sit for a long time I get cramps in my back, and until last month I couldn't study for longer than 2 hours because my back would start hurting.

    Well last month when I was on my period I bought a new heating pad and I used it, after my period was over I got cold, so  decided to get it out and use it to keep me warm, 4 hours later I realized my back wasn't hurting and I was still sitting at my desk.

4. Blanket

 - This one is kinda for the same reason as #1. But it's different because the main reason why I have blanket by is for my lower half, my feel tend to get really cold, so having a blanket nearby is a must.

5. Candles

  - I'm a candle addict, I have like 5 candles right now that I need to finish/start burning, and I already want to buy more. I'm not able to walk past candles in a store without stopping to sniff just one. I prefer candles that are vanilla scented, and anything similar to vanilla works too.

    The reason this is on my list is because I truly believe the candles are soothing, they help me with my anxieties, and they just make the air so much nicer to breath in.

  So there are my Studying Essentials, what do you think? What are you're studying essentials? Let me know in the comments.

                                                             Stay Creative,

January Music Playlist

Hey y'all, I know today I'm supposed to be doing my Weight Loss Monday's series, but I didn't really have anything to tell you, so I decided to do a music playlist.
     So here is my January Music Playlist......

      Now here's the best part... this is going to be a monthly thing. I was originally planning on making this a replacement for my WLM's, but then I realized that I already had all my Monday's filled up with other things 'm planning. So I decided that this would be what I would do on the month's that there's 5 Monday's, and  on months when there isn't a 5th Monday I'll post it on the first Sunday of the month.

   Well, that's all for today, let me know what you think in the comments.
                                                                        Stay Creative,

Christmas Music Playlist #4

  Can you believe there's only a few more days till Christmas? I finally got all of my presents wrapped last night, so I'm offically done. I can't finally sit back, relax, and enjoy the holiday.
   I'm actually sad that Christmas is here, I don't want it to end, the reason I love this time of year so much is because everyoe is so happy. During he Christmas season everyone is so much more giving, happy, and just all around joyful.
   But for now here's my final Christmas music playlist for his Holiday season.

Christmas Music Playlist #3

 It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas! So we are officially in Christmas countdown mode, we have less than two weeks to go.
    I finished my Christmas shopping on Friday, and I'm hoping to have everything wrapped by the end of the week.
     If things work out the way I want them to then we will be going to our church's annual Return to Bethlehem event tonight. But that's only if things workout the way I want them to, I really wanna go, but my plans may fall through.

   After this week I only have one more Christmas Music Playlist to go, so I'm kinda sad about that, but I'm also excited to share next weeks playlist with you.

                         So that's all for today, check back tomorrow for more.

                                                             Stay Creative,

Christmas Music Playlist #2

  Last week I had so much fun making my Christmas music playlist, that I decided to make another.  I think I'm going to post a new playlist every week till Christmas.

     This past week I've been obsessed with the Trans Siberian Orchestra. I'd been listening to it on YouTube, but Wednesday I went to Walmart with my mom, and while we wee near the music section I started looking.
     I wasn't looking for anything in particular, I was just trying to kill some time, and then I found it. And this really surprised me, but I found the Trans Siberian Orchestras Christmas album, so yes I am a very happy girl right now!

 I've been trying to think of new ways to spice up my blog, and I'm planning on making some big changes  around the end of January. So my question to you, is would you like for me to do monthly music playlists?
