My 2018 Reading List

Every new year I always set one goal that I want to accomplish.  My goal is that I want to read 12 books within the year.  Seems simple right?  It's only a book a month!  By the end of the year I'm nowhere near my goal.  Last year I only read ONE BOOK!!!!!  This year I've decided to try a new strategy.  The hardest part for me is committing to the book I want to read.  So I wrote down all 12 months and picked a book for each one.  It could still change depending on what books are coming out this year.  I decided that I wanted to share my list with you all so you could follow along if you wanted.  Should we start a book club?  Let me know!  What books are you reading this year?

♥My November Ipsy Bag♥

I never thought I would sign up for any monthly subscription bags or boxes.  I just never saw the point.  Finally two of my friends convinced me to try Ipsy.  I am now obsessed!!!  I've been getting bags since August but I finally decided to share what I get.  If you don't know what Ipsy is then let me explain.  For $10 a month you get a bag with 5 beauty products.  The bag equals around $50-$60 worth of products so that's an amazing deal.  When you sign up you take a beauty test so your bag is customized for you.  It comes every month and you can cancel anytime.  Let's see what is in my bag!

Let's start with the bag.  Every month is a new design and I'm in love this one!  You will either get silver or gold constellations.  I think the gold looks better though.  It is slightly metallic which I love.  The zipper is also a gold star.

This is the Adesse New York Brightening Base Coat.  You put this on before painting your nails or just use it on it's own.  It prevents your nails from being yellow it also makes your polish last longer.  It is also cruelty free.  I'm very excited to try this product.

This is the Luxie Rose Gold Small Duo Fiber Brush 524T.  This brush is SUPER  soft!  It can be used with powders, creams, or liquids.  It's easy to blend with and it is great for sensitive skin.  Plus who wouldn't want this adorable brush in their collection?

This is the Elemis Pro-Collagen Marine Cream.  This is for anti-aging.  You put this on your face after you've washed your face in the mornings.  I'm not sure if I will use this or not.  I might give it to my mom but you never know.  It's never too early to work on anti-aging and wrinkles.

This is the STARLOOKS Cream Eye Shadow in Rose Gold.  I've never used a cream shadow before but I really like it.  You can also use it as a liner.  It is metallic which I love.  It is very long lasting and very blendable.

Last up is the theBalm Cosmetics Mad Lash Mascara.  I love this!!  Mascaras are my favorite product anyway.  The wand is curved to really give your lashes volume.  It grabs every single lash.  This is also a cruelty free product.

Overall, I loved this month's bag.  It had a nice range of products which I like.  Also the bag design won me over.  My favorite product is probably the base coat because I constantly have my nails painted.  Do you get an Ipsy bag?  If so, what was your favorite product?

My October Playlist!

I hope you all had a fun and safe Halloween.  I went trick or treating with my nieces which is always fun.  That is why this post is a little late.  I just got home and went to sleep.  I didn't get to post last month's playlist because I was busy.  As you can tell I've had a blog redesign and I feel SO much more inspired.  Make sure you follow me if want to see all my posts.  I've been listening to a ton of music this past month.  I was in an old school mood and that is definitely reflected in this playlist.  I'm still loving my August playlist so be sure to check that out.  What are you listening to?

Favorite lyric: We had a mountain But took it for granted We had a spaceship, But we couldn't land it

Is August really over???  This year is going SUPER fast!  I'm actually happy this month is over because I'm finally having oral surgery.  That means I won't be in pain anymore and I'll be back to posting more often.  This month my mom and I went to see The Beach Boys in concert and it was so much fun.  You'll definitely see that reflected in this playlist.  It's a mixture of new and old songs.  Hopefully you guys will enjoy it.  I'm still loving my July playlist so make sure you check it out.  What songs are you guys loving?

Favorite lyric: Hey, don't write yourself off yet It's only in your head you feel left out or looked down on Just try your best, try everything you can And don't you worry what they tell themselves when you're away It just takes some time Little girl you're in the middle of the ride Everything everything will be just fine Everything everything will be alright alright

4. Kokomo by The Beach Boys
Favorite lyric: Aruba, Jamaica, ooh I wanna take you to Bermuda, Bahama, come on pretty mama
Key Largo Montego, baby why don't we go Ooh I wanna take you down to Kokomo, we'll get there fast and then we'll take it slow That's where we wanna go, way down in Kokomo

5. My Girl by The Temptations
Favorite lyric: I've got sunshine on a cloudy day When it's cold outside I've got the month of May
I guess you'd say What can make me feel this way? My girl (my girl, my girl) Talkin' 'bout my girl (my girl)

6. I Hate U, I Love U by Gnash feat. Olivia
Favorite lyric: I hate you, I love you, I hate that I love you Don't want to but I can't put nobody else above you I hate you, I love you, I hate that I want you You want her, you need her And I'll never be her

7. Gold by Kiiara
Favorite lyric: And if you love me, love me but you never let me go When the roof was on fire, you never let me know Say you're sorry honey, but you never really show And I could leave the party without ever letting you know Without ever letting you know

8. Promiscuous by Nelly Furtado feat. Timberland
Favorite lyric: Roses are red Some diamonds are blue Chivalry is dead But you're still kinda cute Hey! I can't keep my mind off you Where you at, do you mind if I come through

9. Then He Kissed Me by The Crystals
Favorite lyric: Kissed me in a way I've never been kissed before He kissed me in a way I wanna be kissed forevermore

My July Playlist!

Is July really over?  It was a very eventful month.  Firstly I turned 27 which I still can't believe.  I'm getting old!!  I still feel young though.  I also hurt my knee while showering.  I'm not sure what happened I just felt a snap and then I couldn't move it.  It's getting better though.  I'm still obsessed with June's playlist so check that out.  I discovered so much new music this month.  I also included a throwback as well.  What are you listening to?


1. All In My Head (Flex) by Fifth Harmony feat. Fetty Wap
Favorite lyric: Curtains like waves closing in all around us Dimming the lights just so that they don't blind us So tongue-in-cheek when we're laying on roses But you're touching my skin, and you're leaving me hopeless

2. Say My Name by Destiny's Child
Favorite lyric: I know you say that I am assuming things Something's going down, that's the way it seems Shouldn't be no reason why you're acting strange If nobody's holding you back from me 'Cause I know how you usually do Where you're saying everything to me times two Why can't you just tell the truth If somebody's there, then tell me who

3. Make Me by Britney Spears feat. G-Eazy
Favorite lyric: I just want you to make me move Like it ain't a choice for you, like you got a job to do
Just want you to raise my roof Something sensational (oh yeah) And make me oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh And make me oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh

4. Don't Mind by Kent Jones
Favorite lyric: She telling me this And telling me that You said once you take me with you, I'll never go back Now I got a lesson that I want to teach I'mma show you that where you from don't matter to me She said, "Hola. ¿Cómo estás?" She said, "Konnichiwa." She said, "Pardon my French," I said, "Bonjour, Madame." Then she said, "Sak pase," and I said, "N'ap boule." No matter where I go, you know I love 'em all She said, "Hola. ¿Como estás?" She said, "Konnichiwa." She said, "Pardon my French," I said, "Bonjour, Madame." Then she said, "Sak pase," and I said, "N'ap boule." No matter where I go you know I love them all

5. Slow Motion by Matt Wertz
Favorite lyric: Every minute wanna getcha, getcha closer Soak up every second trying to get to know ya Lets just take our time We can't hit rewind World's spinning, don't miss another moment Every kiss on your lips has got me hoping We just take our time Slow Motion

6. Into You by Ariana Grande
Favorite lyric: So, baby, come light me up, and maybe I'll let you on it A little bit dangerous, but, baby, that's how I want it A little less conversation and a little more "touch my body" 'Cause I'm so into you, into you, into you Got everyone watchin' us, so, baby, let's keep it secret A little bit scandalous, but, baby, don't let them see it A little less conversation and a little more "touch my body" 'Cause I'm so into you, into you, into you, oh yeah

7. Cheap Thrills by Sia
Favorite lyric: Baby I don't need dollar bills to have fun tonight (I love cheap thrills!) Baby I don't need dollar bills to have fun tonight (I love cheap thrills!) But I don't need no money As long as I can feel the beat I don't need no money As long as I keep dancing

8. Cold Water by Major Lazer feat. Justin Bieber
Favorite lyric: And if you feel you're sinking, I will jump right over into cold, cold water for you And although time may take us into different places I will still be patient with you And I hope you know
I won't let go I'll be your lifeline tonight I won't let go I'll be your lifeline tonight

9. Tears by Clean Bandit feat. Louisa Johnson
Favorite lyric: Tears on the ground, tears on my pillow You won't bring me down Tears on the ground, rain at my window The pain washes out Tears on the ground, rain at my window The pain washes out And I'll get over you Oh yeah, I'll get over you

10. F*** Apologies by JoJo feat. Whiz Khalifa
Favorite lyric: And honestly I was just about to pick up the phone And then I realized that I didn't do nothing wrong You would even tell two lies to prove that you were right Usually I'd go on and take the blame but not this time, not this time What you want from me? I would say I'm sorry if I really meant it F*** apologies I would say I'm sorry if I really meant it I'm not perfect, I got pride That's not what it is this time So f*** apologies I would say I'm sorry if I really meant it If I, if I, if I really meant it

My March Playlist!

I thought this month would never end!  If you haven't followed this blog then you won't know that I was in the hospital.  I was sick basically all month so I'm ready to move on.  Thankfully Spring is here!!!!!  I've missed the warmth and sunshine!  Since I was sick I really didn't discover anything new.  So there are only 5 songs instead of 10.  I have been loving February's Playlist so go check it out!  What songs have you been loving?


1. Let It Go by James Bay
I had seen everybody talking about this song on YouTube.  I didn't really pay attention until I heard it on the radio.  It's such a good song!  I love his sound and the lyrics are amazing.  I'll have to check out his other songs.  He's not really my type though but I might like it.  Favorite lyric: So come on, let it go Just let it be Why don't you be you And I'll be me? Everything that's broke Leave it to the breeze
Why don't you be you And I'll be me?

2. We Don't Talk Anymore by Charlie Puth feat. Selena Gomez
If you don't have this album then you are missing out.  It's SO good!  This song is catchy and slightly techno.  I instantly loved it because the sound amazing together.  I just love him!  I hope this is his next single.  Favorite lyric: Don't wanna know If you're looking into her eyes If she's holdin onto you so tight the way I did before I overdosed Should've known your love was a game Now I can't get you out of my brain Oh, it's such a shame

3. Piece By Piece by Kelly Clarkson
I've been a fan since the very beginning.  This song is extremely emotional which is what I love about her music.  It's always so real and raw.  I relate to this song a lot because I didn't have a father growing up either.  I like how she makes it empowering and not pity her.  She's just an amazing artist and I respect her.  Favorite lyric: But piece by piece he collected me Up off the ground, where you abandoned things, yeah Piece by piece he filled the holes That you burned in me at six years old And you know, He never walks away He never asks for money, He takes care of me 'Cause he loves me
Piece by piece he restored my faith That a man can be kind and a father could stay

4. Youth by Troye Sivan
This song is my obsession right now!!  I play it at least 20 times a day.  I was shocked that was Troye Sivan because I've only seen him on YouTube.  It's just such a fun song!  I also love the lyrics.  I want to buy his album now.  Favorite lyric: My youth My youth is yours Trippin' on skies, sippin' waterfalls My youth My youth is yours Run away now and forevermore My youth My youth is yours
The truth so loud you can't ignore My youth, my youth, my youth My youth is yours

5. New Romantics by Taylor Swift
I couldn't find a link for this song but trust me it's amazing.  I first heard it at her tour and loved it.  It's really catchy and a fun song.  It's part of my morning playlist now.  I hope she makes a music video soon!  Favorite lyric: Baby, we're the new romantics Come on, come along with me Heart break is the national anthem We sing it proudly We are too busy dancing To get knocked off our feet
Baby, we're the new romantics The best people in life are free

My February Playlist!

Happy Leap Year!!!!  I needed this extra day for sure.  This month went WAY to fast.  I'm kinda glad it's over because I was sick pretty much all month.  I also different discover a lot of new music.  I'm obsessed with January's playlist still.  It's really good!  This playlist has a mixture of new and old songs.  It's a great mixture I think.  What have you been listening to?

1. 19 in 99 by Nick Carter
I'm obsessed with this song!!!  Actually the entire album is amazing.  I'm a HUGE Backstreet Boy fan so I knew I'd love this.  It's very catchy and makes me wish it was summer.  The video really makes me miss the 90's.  It's my favorite decade for sure.  Favorite lyric: It makes me wanna go back in time I know you remember when You and I, didn't give a damn And we would go all night, 19 in 99 Baby you and me, everybody wanted to be free, too free Spending all our money, just to live like kings Underneath the Hollywood sign Reunited in 1999 19 in 99

2. Hollow by Tori Kelly
I just love her!  I discovered this song when I couldn't sleep and loved it right away.  Her voice is just beautiful and amazing.  I love how every song she does is powerful and has meaning.  That makes her a great artist I think.  Favorite lyric: So hold me Wrap me in love, fill up my cup Empty and only your love can fill up my cup 'Cause I'm hollow Yeah, I'm hollow, oh, oh, oh

3. Over And Over by Nelly feat. Tim McGraw
I totally forgot about this song!  It brings back SO many memories though.  I heard it when my radio station did a throwback.  It's been stuck in my head ever since.  Fan fact Nelly was my first concert ever.  I was only 13.  I feel old now!  Favorite lyric: Cause its all in my head I think about it over and over again And I can’t keep picturing you with him And it hurts so bad, yeah Cause its all in my head
I think about it over and over again I replay it over and over again yeah And I can’t take it yeah I can’t shake it No

4. Dibs by Kelsea Ballerini
I've rediscovered this album this month.  I've been in a country music mood lately.  It just makes me happy.  This song is just super cute and I'm always singing it.  She reminds me of Taylor Swift a lot.  I hope I see her in concert someday.  Favorite lyric: If you got a kiss on your lips that you're looking for somebody to take If you got a heart that ain't afraid of love ain't afraid to break If you've got a Friday night free and a shotgun seat Well I'm just saying, I ain't got nowhere to be So baby I'll take whatever it is you've got to give Yeah I'm calling dibs On your lips On your kiss On your time Boy, I'm calling dibs On your hand On your heart All mine

5. Me, Myself & I by G-Eazy
I have been loving this song lately.  I kept hearing it but had no clue who it was.  I actually really love this guy.  He has really great songs.  He just seems to keep it real which I love.  Favorite lyric: Oh, it's just me, myself and I Solo ride until I die 'Cause I got me for life (yeah) Oh I don't need a hand to hold Even when the night is cold I got that fire in my soul

6. I Took A Pill In Ibiza by Mike Posner
I discovered this while I was getting ready in the morning.  It's SO good!  The lyrics are just so powerful.  I love when artists do that.  It's important to put real messages out there especially for kids today.  Favorite lyric: I'm just a singer who already blew his shot I get along with old timers Cause my name's a reminder of a pop song people forgot And I can't keep a girl, no Cause as soon as the sun comes up I cut em all loose and work's my excuse But the truth is I can't open up

7. Check On It by Beyonce
It's another throwback!  My cousin and I were obsessed with this song.  My radio station also played this and it just brought back memories.  We thought we were so cool.  Favorite lyric: Oh boy you looking like you like what you see Won't you come over and check up on it, I'm gon' let you work up on it Ladies let em check up on it, watch it while he check up on it Dip it, pop it, twerk it, stop it, check on me tonight

8. Heartbeat by Carrie Underwood
I told you I've been loving country music right now.  I heard on the Grammy's and downloaded it right away.  It's so romantic and cute.  I just love songs like this.  Plus she is just amazing.  Favorite lyric: And tonight I wanna drive so far we'll only find static on the radio And we can't see those city lights and I love the way you look in a firefly glow Saying everything without making a sound, a cricket choir in the background, underneath a harvest moon Standing on your shoes in my bare feet, dancing to the rhythm of your heartbeat Oh woah, and we're dancing to the rhythm of your heartbeat

9. Pillowtalk by Zayn
You guys I tried to not love this song.  I just couldn't resist!  I'm not a fan of the music video though.  It's just too weird.  I probably won't buy the album but it's a good song.  I still love One Direction more!  Favorite lyric: I'm seeing the pain, seeing the pleasure Nobody but you, 'body but me, 'body but us Bodies together I'd love to hold you close, tonight and always I'd love to wake up next to you
I'd love to hold you close, tonight and always I'd love to wake up next to you

10. Work From Home by Fifth Harmony
This song just came out and I already love it!  It's very catchy and always in my head.  I like the direction their music is going.  I just hope they don't go to sexy because it just isn't necessary.  They have amazing voices.  Favorite lyric: I ain't worried 'bout nothin' I ain't worried about nada I'm sittin' pretty, impatient, but I know you gotta Put in them hours, I'mma make it hotter I'm sending pic after picture, I'mma get you fired
