My May Playlist!

I can't believe I'm writing my May playlist right now!  This month went by SO fast!!!!!  On the plus side summer has officially arrived.  I'm totally ready!  I discovered a bunch of new music this month.  I literally listen to these songs daily.  If you missed April's playlist then you might not know I changed the format.  I'm only going to be putting my favorite lyric instead of a whole paragraph.  I personally love lyrics because you can relate more.  That is why I changed it.  Hopefully you guys love it as well.  What are you listening to?


1. Lost Boy by Ruth B
Favorite lyric: I am a lost boy from Neverland Usually hanging out with Peter Pan And when we're bored we play in the woods Always on the run from Captain Hook "Run, run, lost boy," they say to me, "Away from all of reality." Neverland is home to lost boys like me And lost boys like me are free

2. Pity Party by Melanie Martinez
Favorite lyric: Maybe it's a cruel joke on me Whatever, whatever Just means there's way more cake for me Forever, forever It's my party and I'll cry if I want to Cry if I want to (cry, cry, cry) I'll cry until the candles burn down this place I'll cry until my pity party's in flames

3. You Don't Own Me by Grace feat. G-Eazy
Favorite lyric: Don't tell me what to do And don't tell me what to say Please, when I go out with you
Don't put me on display You don't own me Don't try to change me in any way You don't own me
Don't tie me down cause I'd never stay

4. Army by Ellie Goulding
Favorite lyric: We both know what they say about us But they don't stand a chance because When I'm with you When I'm with you I'm standing with an army I'm standing with an army When I'm with you When I'm with you I'm standing with an army Standing with an army

5. Already Ready by Dan + Shay

Favorite lyric: Finally walk inI'm already thinking 'bout leavin' Gotta get you back in my shirt Get you out that dress Get you out them shoes that you like so much Everybody at the party is checking your body out I don't even mind it cause you're coming with me, girl And I know it's only 7:32 but looking at you I'm already ready to go I'm already ready, are you ready? Cause I'm ready to go

6. Can't Stop The Feeling by Justin Timberlake

Favorite lyric: I got that sunshine in my pocket Got that good soul in my feet I feel that hot blood in my body when it drops, ooh I can't take my eyes up off it, moving so phenomenally Room on lock the way we rock it, so don't stop And under the lights when everything goes Nowhere to hide when I'm getting you close When we move, well, you already know So just imagine, just imagine, just imagine Nothing I can see but you when you dance, dance, dance Feeling good, good, creeping up on you So just dance, dance, dance, come on All those things I should do to you But you dance, dance, dance And ain't nobody leaving soon, so keep dancing

7. Home Alone Tonight by Luke Bryan feat Karen Fairchild

Favorite lyric: And we'll go shot for shot for shot 'til we forgot what we came here to forget Ain't a clock, a tick, a tock that's gonna stop a night we won't regret So put your drink down, throw your camera up, flip it around and snap a payback picture I'll send it to my ex, I'll send it to my ex and send 'em both a text Saying we ain't going home alone tonight Girl, you ain't gotta, I ain't gotta go home alone tonight

8. Close by Nick Jonas feat. Tove Lo

Favorite lyric: Cause if I want you, and I want you, babe Ain't going backwards, won't ask for space
Cause space was just a word made up by someone who's afraid to get too Close, ooh Oh, so close, ooh I want you close, ooh Cause space was just a word made up by someone who's afraid to get close, ooh Oh, so close, ooh I want you close, ooh Oh, I want you close, and close ain't close enough, no

9. Dangerous Woman by Ariana Grande

Favorite lyric: All that you got, skin to skin, oh my God Don't ya stop, boy Somethin' 'bout you makes me feel like a dangerous woman Somethin' 'bout, somethin' 'bout, somethin' 'bout you
Makes me wanna do things that I shouldn't Somethin' 'bout, somethin' 'bout, somethin' 'bout

10. Toothbrush by DNCE

Favorite lyric: When you're standing there in your underwear And my t-shirt from the night before
With your messed up hair And your feet still bare Would you mind closing the bedroom door? Maybe you don't have to rush You could leave a toothbrush At my place At my place We don't need to keep it hush You could leave a toothbrush At my place At my place I just, I just can't let you go You give me something I've never known So maybe you don't have to rush You could leave a toothbrush At my place At my place

Weekly Obsession!

It's been awhile since I've shared an obsession.  Don't worry I'm back!  My weekly obsession is...Watermelon Lemonade body spray!!  To be honest I've been loving the entire range from Bath and Body Works.  I was drawn in by the packaging because it's super girly and cute.  Also I wanted a nice summer smell.  I immediately purchased the soap, spray, and lotion without even smelling it.  I'm SO glad I did!  It's obviously fruity but also refreshing.  It isn't super sweet which is nice.  I just can't get enough!!!  What are you loving?

I Met Luke Bryan!!!!!!

I've been keeping a secret from you guys!!  Last week a friend of mine got us tickets to Luke Bryan.  We also got meet and greet passes which had me FREAKING out!!!!!  If you don't know who he is then you are missing out.  He is a country singer and a total hottie.  I've never done a meet and greet but it goes pretty quick.  He signed my shirt and my pass.  Then we took a picture together and that's it.  The concert was AMAZING!!!!  He can really move his hips and all the girls were dying!  My favorite songs were Play It Again, Strip It Down, I Don't Want This Night To End, and Home Alone Tonight.  He also covered Can't Feel My Face by The Weeknd.  I was really good!  What's your favorite Luke Bryan song?

My 2016 Summer Nail Polish Colors

Hey everybody!  I'm SO glad that summer is coming very soon.  I've been into painting my nails lately so I went shopping for the perfect colors.  I found six colors that I will be wearing all summer long.  What is your go to nail polish?

This is Chillato by Essie.  It's a pistachio green color.  I fell in love with this color last year and then I forgot to buy it.  I'm glad I finally have it.

This is Peach Side Babe by Essie.  I also fell in love with this color last year.  It's the perfect coral peachy color.  This will look excellent with a tan!

This is Skylark by Sinful Colors.  I'm OBSESSED with this color!!!!  This is a peach color.  I picked it out the second I saw it.

This is Mint 2 B Cool by Sinful Colors.  This is a light blue/aqua color.  I never really go for colors like this so I went out of my comfort zone.  I think it will look great.

This is Let's Talk by Sinful Colors.  I love shiny colors so I obviously needed this.  It's a dark purple color,  I will probably put glitter with this.

This is Innocent by Sinful Colors.  It's a neon green color.  I love neon especially during summer.  It makes you look more tan.

Ulta Haul!!!!

OMG you guys I feel like I've been missing out!  I never understood how amazing Ulta was until now.  I went in for one thing and came out with a full bag!  The deals were just too good!  I thought I would share what I bought in case you want to try these products too.  What's your favorite thing at Ulta?

I went to Ulta for a blow dryer because mine is pretty much dead.  My cousin is a hair stylist so I asked her what the best brand was.  So I got the Hot Tools Tourmaline Ionic Professional.  This is what most salons use.  I love it!  It has 6 heat settings, it's lightweight, and it's quiet.  It's definitely an investment but worth it!

I bought a pack of Alligator Clips.  I use these when I style my hair mostly.  I did think these were expensive.  I paid $6 for only 3.  They do work though and no creases are left behind.

My hair is always full of tangles no matter what I do.  I bought this Wet Brush just to see if it works.  I really like it!  I noticed a difference right away.  It works on dry hair too.  Try it out if you have tangled hair too.

I am addicted to the brand Not Your Mother's so when I saw it was buy one get one 50% off I couldn't resist.  I bought the dry shampoo which is my favorite.  It makes your hair look clean and feel super soft.  It's the best!

I also got the volumizing hairspray because mine is almost empty.  I haven't tried this yet but my friend told me it's amazing.  Let me know if you want a review.

Next I bought the texturizing sea salt spray.  I love products like this because it takes 5 minutes to have cute hair.  You can spray this on wet or dry hair and then style it.  I'm excited to try it!

Lastly I got the thermal spray.  You can never have enough heat protector.  I'll be using this soon so I'll let you know.

I've wanted to try The Body Shop for awhile now.  I love that they are cruelty free.  They also had buy one get one 50% off so I took advantage.  I got 4 body butters.  The scents are Honeymania, Pink Grapefruit, Mango, and Coconut.  They smell amazing!!  I bought these for my spa nights which is every Sunday.
