ultimate summer driving playlist.

So, we all do it, whether alone or with your best friends. 
We BREAK DOWN (dancing) when some of our favorite songs come on the radio. But, it only happens every so often that those songs come on. So, what I have done is made a CD of some of my favorite summer songs so I can dance all the way to my destination. Safely, that is. 
We all have certain songs that we cannot sit still to, and here are a few of mine this summer. 
Radioactive - Imagine Dragons A Million Lives - Jake Miller We Can't Stop - Miley Cyrus Same Love - Macklemore Blurred Lines - Robin Thicke WOP - Flo Rida Stuck Like Glue - Sugarland Can't Hold Us - Macklemore Clarity - Zedd I Need Your Love - Ellie Goulding Wagon Wheel - Darius Rucker Magic - BoB Runaway Baby - Bruno Mars Thrift Shop - Macklemore Boom - T-Pain Wild Horses - Natasha Beningfield

What us your ultimate summer driving playlist? 

summer blouse wishlist.

Lately I have been loving all of the shirts, blouses, dresses, shoes, and everything else that has to deal with a super cute online boutique called Persun Mall. 
I racked up some of my wants from the shop that I think would be great to work this summer. 

All of these shirts are simple and comfy, but still elegant and have that light, flowy, summer feel, ya know?
Just put on a pair of shorts and you are good to go and explore this summer!  
What's on your summer shirt wishlist? 

backless.

It is summer and that means it is time to show a little more skin than usual. 

One of my favorite ways to do this, is to rock a backless shirt/dress.

  It's such a great trend, if you wear it right.

And by wearing it right, I mean, don't let the back of your bra show. 

You can rock a bandeau with it or even wear a stick on bra.  
Whatever you prefer, just make sure to WORK IT, GIRL.

influenster open box review - two.

Hey guys! If you haven't checked out or joined Influenster since the last time I posted this, stop reading and sign up now. 
Then come back.
K? K. 
Alright, now that we have that out of the way, we can get started. 
I recieved the Summer Beauty VoxBox just about a month ago and I have been trying out the products so I can give a good honest review of them. 
But here is the video of what I have gotten. 

Now onto what I think after using these products.  Hawaiian Tropic Silk Hydration - This is another product I love, I use sunscreen a ton and this one not only smells amazing but it moisturizes and protects me from the sun! What can be better?! Sally Hansen Hand Creme - This stuff you rub all over your hands to make them soft. It smells like a citrus-y wonderland. Clear Scalp and Hair Therapy - I loved these. I could seriously feel my hair get stronger, I used it for about 2 weeks and my hair felt so healthy! Definitely going to try to find this at Wal Mart. Too bad I left it in Columbus... 

Quaker Soft Baked Bar - I had this for breakfast, it was yummy. It tasted like Banana Nut Bread. A in my book.

Sally Hanson Magnetic Nail Polish - This is definitely a super cool product, but not the product for me. I'm not a big fan of the way it looks, I'll probably wear it once in awhile, but I'll stick with my sparkles. 

Feminine Package - Um, I feel like it is a little weird to elaborate on this one. I'll just say, it gets the job done, girls. 

So there we have it! If you haven't signed up get to it! I mean you get products for FREE, why wouldn't you? 

Spring Trends.

Okay, in lue of the spring/summer weather we are having here is a little post about the spring trends that I am absolutely in love with. :)

And maybe some I just cannot stand.

Enjoy. :)

First off, I absolutely love the trend of Maxi dresses. But from what I have gathered from my friends and internet and fellow bloggers is that you either love a maxi dress, or hate it. I'm leaning toward love, personally. :) They look flattering on most all body types and they are just fun, flirty, and feminine. (And extreeeamly comfortable)

Another wonderful trend going on right now is bright colors. Who doesn't like to see bright, happy colors everyday? They are so fun and totally summer.

And what better to pair a bright hot pink cardigan than with some shorty shorts? They are probably my favorite thing about the summer season. Maybe it's because I am built like a stump and they are the only shorts that actually flatter me, but I love them.

Mixing prints, oh sure, I would love to pair my floral dress with a striped cardi, thank you. :) I used to hate this trend, but now I really like it. Oh how I've grown.

Neutral nudes. I think that this is just a classy look. I don't really know why I like it, but I just know that I do and I know that it looks good on everyone. :)

Sparkly shorts! I just love these. I have a feeling they will be out of style in no time, but while they are in style I might just have to wear them every single day of my life. Just kidding, but I do really like them, they are so fun and spunky! :)

SUNGLASSES -- Anyone who knows me knows that I am addicted to them. Legit. I have five hanging from my mirror in my car, one in the glove box and two or three more in my room at home. Didn't believe me when I said addicted? Yea. Curse you F21 5 dollar sunglasses. Curse you.

And last but definitly not least, hobo bags. I love the cross body messenger bag look. And when I mean love, I mean LOVE. I wish I had money so I could get this beautiful purse.

Okay, on to the not-so-cute aspect of this springs trends.

Okay, I know you guys have all seen these high-wasted shorts at H&M and Forever 21, but I just cannot make myself think they are cute. They just remind me of a grandma.

Rompers. Now, I am kind of biased on this one. Again, my body type is the reason I just don't like these. And not to mention I don't really enjoy looking like a toddler. Just my opinion though, a friend of mine has one and she happens to look really cute in them. I guess it all depends.

Bermuda shorts. I just think that I look like a troll in these things. I don't think they are feminine at all, I've never really liked these things. When I see someone wearing these things I just want to shake them and say "Make up your mind, woman, shorts or capris!".

Color Blocking is just not cute.

And another trend that I am starting to see in the wonderful world of fashion. Head thongs. It's just, an odd hair accessory.

These are my opinions, feel free to disagree. If you have anything to add i would love to hear from you! :)

long time, no see. :)

So, I just read my whole list of 'blogs'. And what was going through my head was, wow. I was SO immature. Ha, in the first post I was like...period crazy. I'm sure I will end up reading this in a couple of years too and say that I was so immature. But, whatever. It happens. :)

Anyway, as you can see, I have been slacking. But I doubt that really matters because no one ever reads this. I haven't quite decided if that is a good thing or a bad thing. Lol. There are a few people that I know have 'Blogger' but, I am not sure if I want to add them as friends or not. I mean, I know that no one is interested in my life anyway. So, this blog is pretty much just for me.

Let me catch myself up. I just finished my sophomore year. I guess you can say it was a good year. Or adequate(?). Well, nothing that interesting happened. I'll try to go through it as simply as I can.
-Soccer was good, didn't have a great record but...it was super fun. :)
-Drew, my man, got the first touchdown (and not to mention the second)of the year. So that was exciting. I remember that night just like it was yesterday too, he was so happy.
-Uh, I didn't do ANYTHING during the winter.
-My cousin (16) got pregnant. She just had her baby yesterday, she is really cute. I hope everything works out for them though. It'll be hard. They are always in my prayers.
-There was a 'drug bust' at our school. If that's what you call it. Like 8 people got in trouble. People made such a big deal of it. I mean, I guess that's what happens in a small town. I thought it was kind of funny, even though some of the people who got caught were my friend. Oh well, you get what you deserve.
-I went to prom, again.
-My boyfriend graduated. It is bittersweet I guess. I'll miss looking forward to seeing him at school. But, he is enjoying the freedom.
-Uhm, I can't really think of anything else. HA, talk about boring.

Okay, now we are in the present. It is summer and so far all summer I have been hangin' out with my best friend. And on the weekends with Drew. He has school in the summer. So, I don't get to see him as often. But I think it is making our relationship stronger.
Speaking of Drew-- He was the guy in one of the first few posts that I talked about. We have been together for about two years now. He's a great guy and I truly believe we will last... I mean, I know it will be hard and... I know I am still young and I still need to mature and everything. But, I can't see myself with any other guy. I hope it does. He is perfect for me in every way. Okay, okay. I'm not going to get all mushy. Haha. I will go on.
So far my adventures with Erika have been pretty different. From catching catfish to spontaneous trips to Columbus. I love this girl. Ha. Well, other than that nothing that interesting has happened. I am hoping I can remember to do this thing....okay. Well, 'till next time! (:
