♥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?

DWTS Season 19 Results: Who Is The First Victim?

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!

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?
