My September Playlist!


Can you believe it is time for this post already? It is time for my September playlist! This month has went by SO fast! I can't believe that fall is already here. It has already gotten a lot colder. What is like where you are? If you want to check out last month's playlist click here.  I have still been loving most of those songs. This month has a lot of variety. What songs have you been loving this month? Let me know in the comments!

1. Anaconda by Nicki Minaj
I am starting this playlist of with a bang literally. I rarely listen to rap music nor do I even like Nicki Minaj. I wasn't even going to listen to this song either. When I was watching the VMA's I saw this performance and I became ADDICTED! I couldn't stop playing it! I think it is because I like the song it samples which is Baby Got Back by Sir Mix-A-Lot. The video can be a lot to handle, so only watch it if you are comfortable. Definitely check out the song though! Favorite lyric: My Anaconda don't...
My Anaconda don't... My Anaconda don't want none unless you got buns hun

2. Unkiss Me by Maroon 5
I have been obsessed with the new Maroon 5 album.  I listen to it at least once a day.  I like that they took it back to their old sound.  When I heard this song I knew right away that it was my favorite. It is slower then I would typically listen to but it is also upbeat. It is a perfect heartbreak song.  I just can't get enough.  Favorite lyric: I lied to my heart 'cause I thought you felt it You can't light a fire, if the candle's melted No, you don't have to love me if you don't wanna Don't act like I mean nothing But if you're gonna, well, then you better Unkiss me, Untouch me Untake this heart And I'm missing Just one thing A brand new start

3. Lost Stars by Adam Levine
You are probably wondering isn't Adam Levine in Maroon 5?  He is but this song is from a film he did called Begin Again.  Now I haven't actually seen it yet but I love this song.  The meaning is great as well.  Plus I could just listen to his voice all day. *sigh* Favorite lyric: And I thought I saw you out there crying And I thought I heard you call my name And I thought I heard you out there crying
But are we all lost stars trying to light up the dark? Are we all lost stars trying to light up the dark?

4. I'm Ready by AJR
I've actually been listening to this song for awhile but I keep forgetting about it.  Now I hear it on my iPod frequently so it made the list!  It's SUPER catchy and I really like how different it sounds.  It's poppy but slightly old school.  There is nothing like it out right now.  They are all brothers but much better than the Jonas Brothers.  Favorite lyric: You're feeling good, you're feeling right Across the floor, and I'm already losing my mind Baby girl, looking fine Watch you playing and playing and playing these guys Catch my stare, little smile

5. Fireproof by One Direction
1D pulled a Beyonce this month sorta.  The announced a brand new album and had a few download of this song for 24 hours only.  Of course I downloaded it and it broke records!  Over 1 million people downloaded it in 24 hours.  It is a much more mature sound and personally I love it.  It sounds AMAZING!  I can't wait for more!  Favorite lyric: 'Cause nobody knows you, baby, the way I do And nobody loves you, baby, the way I do It's been so long, it's been so long, maybe you are fireproof 'Cause nobody saves me, baby, the way you do

6. Don't Tell 'Em by Jeremih
It took me FOREVER to find out who sang this song.  It sounds like so many other artists.  Every time I hear it I love it even more.  I'm pretty sure it samples a 90's song as well.  Maybe that is a new trend?  I find this song to be just fun.  I wish it was out during the Summer though.  Favorite lyric: Rhythm is a dancer, I need a companion Girl, I guess that must be you Body like the summer, touching like no other Don't you tell 'em what we do

7. Jealous by Nick Jonas
You guys I have a confession.  I am slightly obsessed with Nick Jonas.  I just can't help it!  His songs are just SO good plus he looks amazing!  I will by his album for sure.  This song is constantly playing in my head.  I just love him!  Favorite lyric: I don’t like the way he’s looking at you I’m starting to think you want him too Am I crazy, have I lost ya? Even though I know you love me, can’t help it

8. Trumpets by Jason DeRulo
I am a huge fan of Jason DeRulo!  His songs are all just so catchy!  This song is no different!  I really love the beat.  It's a completely different sound for him and it totally works.  I've probably played it a hundred times.  I'm super sad he and Jordin Sparks split up though.  Favorite lyric: Every time that you get undressed I hear symphonies in my head I wrote this song just looking at you oh, oh Yeah the drums they swing low And the trumpets they go

9. Bo$$ by Fifth Harmony
You all know I love girl power and this song represents it PERFECTLY.  Girls need messages like this especially in today's society.  We should not be treated any differently.  Stand up and be yourself!  There is nothing to be ashamed or scared of.  Favorite lyric: C-O-N-F-I-D-E-N-T That's me, I'm confident Don't want yo compliments Use common sense I'm on my Michelle Obama... Shhhh... Shut your mouth Boy I think you know who run this house I ain't thirsty for no bae... 'Cause I already know watchu tryna say

10. Don't by Ed Sheeran
What is not to love about this man?  I found myself humming this song all month.  I just love the beat and lyrics.  He is just a genius!  This is also a good break up song.  The only thing I don't like is the video because he isn't in it.  Favorite lyric: I went away for months until our paths crossed again She told me I was never looking for a friend Maybe you could swing by my room around 10 Baby bring a lemon and a bottle of gin We'll be in between the sheets 'til the late AM Baby if you wanted me then you should've just said

DWTS Season 19: Welcome To The Movies!


It's week 3!  There is no result show this week.  Somebody will go home tonight though.  Tonight's theme is the movies.  The celebrities will be dancing to famous movies.  It could get interesting!  There is also a guest judge and it is Kevin Hart.  I don't see him as a judge so we'll see.  The show started with a group intro which I loved.  Vote for your favorite dancer!  Come back next Monday for more!


RANDY COUTURE AND KARINA SMIRNOFF:
His movie is Rocky III.  This week he danced the Paso Doble.  It was not good.  The passion was definitely there.  He was behind the entire dance.  He also just looked sloppy.  It was very hard to watch.  I want to root for him but sadly he may not last.  His score was 26 of 40.

ALFONSO RIBEIRO AND WITNEY CARSON:
His movie is Austin Powers Goldmember.  This week he danced the Quickstep.  I just love him!  I loved his form and so smooth.  It was classic but not too classic.  It was different then he has done so far so I was glad to see that.  His score was 32 of 40.

BETSEY JOHNSON AND TONY DOVOLANI:
Her movie is Ghost.  This week she danced Contemporary.  I get more and more impressed each dance.  I'm SO glad she is improving.  Do I think she'll win?  No but I don't wanna see her go just yet.  I wasn't her best but still good.  Her score was 29 of 40.

LEA THOMPSON AND ARTEM CHIGVINTSEV:
Her movie is Back To The Future of course.  This week she danced the Cha Cha.  I really liked it!  I thought it needed a little more Cha Cha content.  There were a few mistakes but barely noticeable.  She is very versatile which is great for this show.  She enjoys everything.  Her score was 31 of 40.

MICHAEL WALTRIP AND EMMA SLATER:
His movie is Robin Hood.  This week he danced the Waltz.  I was pleasantly surprised.  It was a HUGE improvement!  I really thought it would be disaster but I couldn't look away.  It drew me in.  He still needs work but he did great.  His score was 28 of 40.

ANTONIO SABATO JR. AND CHERYL BURKE:
His movie is Guardian Of The Galaxy.  This week he danced the Foxtrot.  It was pretty good.  I'm not a huge fan of him but he does try.  It was stiff and not very natural.  He did have fun and enjoyed the dance though.  He just needs work.  His score was 29 of 40.

SADIE ROBERTSON AND MARK BALLAS:
Her movie is Up.  This week she danced the Viennese Waltz.  This was SO beautiful.  She looked and did flawless.  She just has this amazing charm.  It is a very proper dance but they made it look fun.  I wasn't bored at all.  Her score was 32 of 40.

JONATHAN BENNETT AND ALLISON HOLKER:
His movie is The Great Gatsby.  I'm surprised he didn't do Mean Girls.  This week he danced the Tango.  It was a lot better than last week.  It was still a bit choppy and his frame needed work.  The song wasn't  traditional but they made it work.  I'm glad he is back.  His score was 32 of 40.

JANEL PARRISH AND VALENTIN CHMERKOVSKIY:
Her movie is West Side Story.  This week she danced Jazz.  She wasn't allowed to use anything to make it look like the film.  For me it hurt the whole vibe.  It was very well done though.  I felt like it was like watching a Broadway show.  I was glad she finally stepped up.  Her score was 40 of 40.

TOMMY CHONG AND PETA MURGATROYD:
His movie is The Scent Of A Woman.  This week he danced the Argentine Tango.  You guys know I love watching him.  This is one of my favorite styles as well.  It was actually really good!  He can actually dance!  I didn't want it to end.  Even with the age difference I still felt the passion.  His score was 34 of 40.

BETHANY MOTA AND DEREK HOUGH:
Her movie is Singing In The Rain.  This week she danced Jazz.  I LOVED it!  This is such an iconic number and it definitely lived up to it.  It was totally on point!  She didn't mess up AT ALL.  Plus she had props that could have ended badly.  It was PERFECTION!  Her score was 40 of 40.

Results:
Bethany, Janel, Sadie, Tommy, Alfonso, Michael, Lea, and Betsey are safe.  Jonathan, Randy, and Antonio are in danger.  Randy has been eliminated.  This means Jonathan and Antonio will be back next week.

DWTS Season 19 Results: Who's Jam Just Didn't Make The Cut?


Tonight is another elimination!  The show started with a group routine by the female pros.  They are killing it this season!  Lea, Randy, and Betsey are safe.  Next Nico and Vinz performed their hit Am I Wrong.  They are really good and I love the song.  Tommy and Jonathan are safe.  Michael is in danger.  I wasn't shocked by this because he had the lowest score last night.  The encore dance is Janel's Foxtrot.  This wouldn't have been my choice but it was ok.  Janel and Bethany are safe.  Sadie is in danger.  I'm a bit shocked but last night wasn't her best.  Sia performed her hit Chandelier.  I personally hate this song but Maddie from Dance Mom's performed to it so I enjoyed that.  Next weeks guest judge will be Kevin Hart.  It is also Movie Night next week.  Julianne Hough is dancing with the male pros!  I wish she would dance more because it was AMAZING!  Alfonso and Antonio are safe.  Tavis is in danger.  Again he didn't do so well last night.  The celebrity that is eliminated is Tavis.  This means Sadie and Michael will be back next week.

DWTS Season 19: OMG This Is My Jam!


Tonight is week 2!  The theme for the week is the celebrities will dance to their favorite jams.  I have to say I'm already loving this season.  The show started with a fun group dance introducing the judges and celebrities.  I love the new intros this season.  Don't forget to vote because tomorrow somebody will go home.  Come back tomorrow to find out who!  Also tell me what your jam is?


RANDY COUTURE AND KARINA SMIRNOFF:
His jam is I Can't Get No Satisfaction by The Rolling Stones.  This week he danced the Cha Cha.  It was a bit rough.  Last week seemed more effortless.  He needs to work on a few things.  I still think he could be a contender.  His score was 28 of 40.

JANEL PARRISH AND VALENTIN CHMERKOVSKIY:
Her jam is Call Me Maybe by Carly Rae Jepsen.  This week she danced the Foxtrot.  It was A LOT better than last week.  I liked that it wasn't super traditional.  It needed a bit more work but more controlled.  The judges thought it was near perfect but I wouldn't go that far.  I enjoyed it.  Her score was 34 of 40.

LEA THOMPSON AND ARTEM CHIGVINTSEV:
Her jam is Land Of A Thousand Dances by Wilson Pickett.  This week she danced the Jive.  I really like her.  I'm SO impressed by how well she does.  She has a dance background so I shouldn't be too shocked.  She can do both styles really well and most people can't.  Her score was 35 of 40.

MICHAEL WALTRIP AND EMMA SLATER:
His jam is Girls In Bikinis by Lee Brice.  This week he danced the Samba.  He was a mess but I was highly entertained.  I feel like it needed more Samba but it was fun.  He doesn't take himself too seriously but maybe he should.  His score was 24 of 40.

TAVIS SMILEY AND SHARNA BURGESS:
His jam is Boogie Wonderland by Earth, Wind & Fire.  This week he danced the Cha Cha.  I liked him better last week but I still enjoyed it.  It needed to be a lot cleaner.  You can tell he was just having fun.  I think he just had too much going on this week.  Hopefully next week he'll be back to his old self.  His score was 28 of 40.

ALFONSO RIBEIRO AND WITNEY CARSON:
His jam is Gettin' Jiggy Wit It by Will Smith.  This week he danced the Samba.  I just LOVE him!  Can he do anything wrong?  I never want him to stop!  He is just SO full of energy.  It needed work but I still loved it.  I'm interested to see how he does in ballroom.  His score was 32 of 40.

BETHANY MOTA AND DEREK HOUGH:
Her jam is All About That Bass by Meghan Trainor.  This week she danced the Foxtrot.  She was injured but you couldn't even tell!  I loved it!  It was just so classy but still modern.  The prop was freaking AMAZING!  I'm calling it the best of the night!  Her score was 33 of 40.

BETSEY JOHNSON AND TONY DOVOLANI:
Her jam is Girls Just Wanna Have Fun by Cyndi Lauper.  This week she danced the Foxtrot.  Anything would be better than last week.  I had very low expectations.  It was actually pretty good!  She looked awesome and timeless.  I couldn't believe how well she did.  She was definitely the most improved by far.  Her score was 28 of 40.

ANTONIO SABATO JR. AND CHERYL BURKE:
His jam is Adorn by Miguel.  The week he danced the Rumba.  I was impressed because this dance requires a strong connection and they had it.  It was subtle which I liked.  He is really improving so maybe he has a chance.  His score was 31 of 40.

TOMMY CHONG AND PETA MURGATROYD:
His jam is Higher by Gloria Estefan.  This week he danced the Salsa.  Every time he dances I just smile.  He is also REALLY good.  He is just so much fun!  I am totally a fan to be honest.  Who doesn't love him?  His score was 28 of 40.

JONATHAN BENNETT AND ALLISON HOLKER:
His jam is Sing by Ed Sheeran.  This week he danced the Cha Cha.  I was highly disappointed.  I felt like his partner out danced him.  I also lacked content.  It was just jerky on the Cha Cha parts.  I'm sad because he can do better.  His score was 30 of 40.

SADIE ROBERTSON AND MARK BALLAS:
Her jam is She's Country by Jason Aldean.  This week she danced Jazz.  I love her!  She just comes out and does her thing.  She seems like a natural without ever dancing before.  This routine was edgier and I liked it.  Her score was 31 of 40.

♥Weekly Obsession♥


I'm back!  I have been busy with school and doing my Summer series.  Now I'm going to be back on schedule.  One thing I love about Fall is the new candy flavors.  I somehow find the oddest flavors ever.  I especially love M&M's flavors.  This year I discovered Candy Apple M&M's and had to buy it.  When I opened them they smelled EXACTLY like apples.  These taste is actually really good.  At first there isn't any flavor it just tastes normal but then there is an apple aftertaste.  I highly recommend these!  I'm obsessed!  What candy do you like?

Tonight is the first elimination of the season.  Who will be the first to go?  We will soon find out!  The show started with a group dance by the female pros.  It was SO good!  Antonio and Tavis are safe.  The first person in danger is Betsey.  I'm not too surprised due to the boa malfunction that messed up her dance.  Next there was an encore of Alfonso's Jive.  This was by far my favorite dance last night and it was even better tonight!  Janel and Randy are safe.  Michael is the next person in danger.  Again I was expecting this because he wasn't that great last night.  Aloe Blacc and Smokey Robinson performed My Girl.  This is one of my all time favorite songs and I LOVED this version!  Alfonso, Sadie, and Bethany are safe.  Lea is in danger.  I'm shocked by this because I really liked her dance.  The new pros showed off their moves.  I loved this because it shows their individual styles.  Tommy and Jonathan are safe.  Lolo is in danger.  I saw this coming.  Her dance was the worst of the night by far.  The results are in.  The first celebrity eliminated is Lolo.  This means Lea, Michael, and Betsey are will be back next week.  I'm glad because she was terrible.  Are you guys glad with the results?  Let me know!

DWTS Season 19: New Cast New Season


It's opening night!  I am SO glad the show is back!  Of course I'll be recapping every episode.  This season a fourth judge is appearing and it's Julianne Hough!  I'm excited for this because I love her but she is a pretty tough judge.  There is also lots of new pros which should be exciting as well.  I'm hoping they have lots of twists this season but I'm sure we'll find out.  It's a 2 night premiere where somebody will be eliminated.  Make sure you vote to save your favorites!  So make sure to check back tomorrow!


ANTONIO SABATO JR. AND CHERYL BURKE:
He is a soap opera star and underwear model.  This week he danced the Cha Cha.  I thought he did pretty good for the first show.  It was a bit stiff but at least he is nice to look at.  He had great chemistry with his partner as well.  His score was 25 of 40.

LEA THOMPSON AND ARTEM CHIGVINTSEV:
She is an actress best known for her roles in Back To The Future and Switched At Birth.  She got one of this seasons new pros.  This week she danced the Foxtrot.  She did very well.  I'm not sure how fair it is because she has ballet experience.  I also really like her partner.  Her score was 32 of 40.

JANEL PARRISH AND VALENTIN CHMERKOVSKIY:
She is an actress best known for her role as Mona on Pretty Little Liars.  I'm totally a huge PLL fan!  This week she danced the Jive.  You guys know this is my favorite dance style.  I thought she did great but I wanted a more traditional Jive moves.  Maybe it was the music that threw me off.  I did like her energy and she is definitely a contender.  Her score was 29 of 40.

LOLO JONES AND KEO MOTSEPE:
She is an Olympian,  She also got a new pro this season.  This week she danced the Cha Cha.  It was a mess!  It was stiff and there was a fake smile.  She just looked SO uncomfortable!  Plus she messed it up.  Her score was 22 of 40.

BETSEY JOHNSON AND TONY DOVOLANI:
She is a fashion designer.  This week she danced the Cha Cha.  I actually really like her but it took a wrong turn.  Her prop messed up the whole dance!  Until that she did really good.  She is highly energetic which is good.  I liked how she resorted to her cartwheel split signature move.  Her score was 20 of 40.

TAVIS SMILEY AND SHARNA BURGESS:
He is a talk show host.  This week he danced the Foxtrot.  I was very surprised by him!  He seems so serious but that didn't show at all!  It was natural and fun.  He still needs some technical work but I think he'll go far.  His score was 29 of 40.

SADIE ROBERTSON AND MARK BALLAS:
She is the daughter of Willie on Duck Dynasty.  I have to admit I am a fan of the show.  This week she danced the Cha Cha.  I honestly loved her!  She was fun and it blew me away!  I can't believe she has never danced before.  I'm obsessed already!  Her score was 34 of 40.

MICHAEL WALTRIP AND EMMA SLATER:
He is a race car driver.  This week he danced the Cha Cha.  He needs a lot of work.  He did have the personality though.  He needed more steps and more energy.  I think he could do well if he continues working on it.  His score was 25 of 40.

JONATHAN BENNETT AND ALLISON HOLKER:
He is an actor best known for his role in Mean Girls.  That movie is pretty much my life.  He also has one of the new pros this season.  This week he danced the Jive.  He is by far my favorite male celebrity dancer.  It was AMAZING!  This is the Jive I was waiting for and he delivered.  He has set the bar pretty high.  His score was 30 of 40.

TOMMY CHONG AND PETA MURGATROYD:
He is Chong from the comedy duo Cheech and Chong.  This week he danced the Cha Cha.  He was pure entertainment!  He was breaking it down!  Also choosing Snoop Dogg as the song choice was perfect!  I'm honestly sad its over.  I smiled the whole dance.  His score was 27 of 40.

RANDY COUTURE AND KARINA SMIRNOFF:
He is a UFC fighter.  This week he danced the Foxtrot.  He looks really rough and mean but I think he could be a true romantic.  He definitely needs some fine tuning.  He was another surprise that I wasn't expecting.  The girls all adore him.  I wouldn't go that far yet.  His score was 31 of 40.

BETHANY MOTA AND DEREK HOUGH:
She is a YouTube sensation.  I am Team Mota all the way!  I watch all her videos.  This week she danced the Jive.  She KILLED it!  It totally fit her personality.  It was bubbly and fun!  I liked that it was traditional but also modern.  I'm extremely glad Derek is her partner because he can make anybody great.  I loved it!  Her score was 32 of 40.

ALFONSO RIBEIRO AND WITNEY CARSON:
He is an actor best known for his role as Carlton on The Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air.  This week he danced the Jive.  OMG I LOVE HIM!  He totally KILLED IT!  I have to say it was the best of the night!  I want more!  He is the one to beat!  His score was 36 of 40.

Summer Series 2014: Summer Is Over


Happy Saturday!  It's a sad day because this series is over.  It's already beginning to feel like Fall and I'm not happy.  I miss Summer already!  I thought today I would reflect on how my Summer was.  As I predicted I was EXTREMELY busy.  Pretty much every weekend I had something planned.  I made SO many memories.  I wish I had gone swimming and boating more but there's always next year.  It was a pretty awesome Summer though.  Never have regrets.  I hope you all enjoyed this series!  If you want another one just let me know.

Challenge Friday: I ♥ Disney!

Happy Friday!  It's challenge week again!  This week I wanted to do a Disney theme.  I've been a HUGE Disney fan for many years.  If you do this challenge let me know because I really wanna know your answers.  Let's get into it!


1: Your favorite character
This is really hard!  I'd have to choose Rapunzel from Tangled.  She is voiced by Mandy Moore who is my favorite actress.  Plus her personality is a lot like mine.  She pretty positive considering she has been locked in a tower her whole life!

2: Your favorite princess
I love Pocahontas!  As a kid I wanted to be her SO bad!  I would even climb in a Willow tree.  I also had pretty much every piece of merchandise made.

3: Your favorite heroine
Mulan is definitely my heroine.  She proved that woman can fight just as well as men.  She risked her life for her father.  That is honorable.

4: Your favorite prince
I'm gonna have to say Beast from Beauty and the Beast.  Even though he kept Belle trapped, you can tell he still cared about her.  Plus he was actually really sweet.

5: Your favorite hero
Hercules!  I was OBSESSED with this movie when it came out.  He can fight everything, what more do you need?

6: Your favorite animal
I love elephants so I'm gonna say Dumbo.  My grandma babysat us growing up and didn't have any modern Disney movies.  I watched this movie a lot and I think that's why I developed a love for elephants.

7: Your favorite sidekick
Does Olaf count?  I mean who doesn't love a snowman?  He is just SO adorable!  He's sweet too.  I wish he could follow me around.

8: Your favorite villain
Does anybody really have a favorite villain?  I'd have to go with Scar from The Lion King.  Only because Simba gets revenge on him at the end.

9: Your favorite original character (Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Goofy, etc.)
I had my entire room decorated in original characters as a kid.  I love Minnie!  I even dressed up as her when I was like 5 for Halloween.

10: Your favorite song
It would have to be Do You Wanna Build A Snowman? from Frozen.  I just can't get enough!  I play it a lot!

11: Your favorite love song
This is SO hard!  I'm going to go with I Won't Say I'm In Love from Hercules.  It's such a cute song and I feel like people forget it.

12: Your favorite villain song
Mother Knows Best from Tangled.  It's so creepy but still catchy.  Plus I feel bad for Rapunzel afterward.

13: Your least favorite song
I'm not sure if this counts but I hate It's A Small World.  I went on the ride when I was 3 and really traumatized me.  I still can't listen to it.

14: Your favorite kiss
The boat scene on the lake in The Little Mermaid.  Technically they don't actually kiss but it's so romantic.  I'm not even a fan of that movie.

15: The first movie you saw
I'm not sure but the first movie I saw in theaters was Toy Story.  My cousin and I were convinced we were the only kids in the whole world that saw it.

16: Your favorite classic
I've always loved Mary Poppins especially after I saw Saving Mr Banks.  It's just such a great story.  I also love The Jungle Book.

17: Your least favorite classic
I don't like Sleeping Beauty.  I get so bored every time I watch.  I need more excitement.

18: Your favorite Pixar film
This is really hard!  I'm going to say Toy Story.  It was my entire childhood.  I still watch it now at 25.

19: Your least favorite Pixar film
I didn't really like Planes.  They should have just stayed with Cars.

20: Favorite sequel
Obviously the Toy Story series.  The 3rd made me cry a lot.  It was like the end of my childhood.

21: An overrated movie
The Little Mermaid for sure.  Maybe it's because I'm not a fan.  I don't see what is so great about it.

22: An underrated movie
Definitely Wall E.  This movie is SO adorable!  The message is really great too.

23: A movie that makes you laugh
My go to Disney movie is Tangled.  It's got adventure, romance, and it's funny.  What more do you need?

24: A movie that makes you cry
All Disney movies make me cry!  I cried the most during Frozen.  I was emotional the whole time!

25: Your favorite scene from your favorite movie
I loved when Mulan reaches the arrow at the top of the pole.  It made her respected and I loved rooting for her.

26: Saddest death
Definitely when Mufasa died.  Mostly because Simba witnessed the whole thing.  It was heartbreaking!

27: Your favorite quote
You control your destiny you don’t need magic to do it. And there are no magical shortcuts to solving your problems from Brave.

28: Your favorite theme park
Well I've only been to Disney World in Florida.  So that's my favorite.

Summer Series 2014: Making Memories


Happy Saturday!  I feel like this week lasted forever!  So I'm glad its the weekend.  This week I'm going to talk about my favorite Summer memory.  I have SO many but I narrowed it down!  When I was 10 my cousin and I spent every single day together.  She'd stay with me then I stayed with her.  We would watch Goosebumps every day even though it freaked us out.  Other times we'd just sit in our rooms listening to Spice Girls or Backstreet Boys.  Nothing really exciting happened but we still talk about it all the time.  Sometimes the best memories come from not trying.  What is your favorite memory?
