Regretfully, I have no idea what blog I was reading, ha found her. It was Jennie over at Oh...This is Awkward {God I love her blog name} though I remember someone her mentioning
that she has the same habit that I do.
Why yes, Jennie, this happens to me too.
But I also think it's perfectly normal.
We gravitate towards what we like,
so why not listen to what we like,
constantly. over and over. on repeat button mash mode?
Least that's my philosophy.
My latest song crush?
Love Bites - Halestorm **warning, some graphic language**
And Here's Why:
• I dig chick rockers I don't listen to rock as much as other genres. But when I do, it's usually because I'm in the mood to feel a bit powerful. And how much more powerful can you feel than listening to a chick totally rock out balls out? Not much is my opinion.
• I like songs where women are strong This goes with the point mentioned above. I tend to be a bit loud and out there. I'm by no means a shrinking violet. (P.s. where's that term come from?) So I love listening to a song where a girl's like "Yeah. I'm not afraid to be a bit hard and domineering. What?"
• I just love the great tempo and energy of it Again, it's what I look for in a rock song. I listen to other genres for more 'everyday easy enjoyment'. I want somethin awesome and with a high energy vibe when I listen to rock. That and it's not too screamy.
SO. I think you should give it a listen.
mmhm I have been at least once (at a minimum) a day for the past week or so.
Pretty sure my husband's a bit sick of it truthfully.
But I still love it!
P.S. Thanks to my darling Mr. for the recommendation on what to post about today!
I am quite curious why I've never discovered this before!
Polyvore seems incredibly fun,
especially when you are at a total stump what to post for the day ;)
though I'm sure that never happens to you.
I stumbled upon this interesting website accidentally through Her Late Night Cravings. There was a post about Current Cravings, and had some lovely little dealies.
So I clicked on it, thinking to expand it, and voila!
Polyvore.
I always wondered how these adorable little things were created,
but figured there was some lost on me secret to it.
Turns out, There was Shame on y'all for not sharin with me!
So here it is, a cute little outfit that I'd adore to have.
I'm really all for the coral/mint(turquoise) aura that's all around right now.
I'm also a fan of the browns and mustards also thrown into it.
So I figured I'd share a little bit of what I found.
This probably won't be an often occurrence,
Since I am by no means a fashionista, nor is this a fashion blog.
But it was fun to play around with for a while!
and I'd definitely recommend it if that is your thing :)
Before we start, that title is something relevant and convenient,
not an enjoyment for that song.
far from it. I like the intro, the beat,
but every time the chorus plays I lose it.
Because seriously, if hair flipping overwhelms you,
see a shrink.
Okay. Carrying on.
I just felt a moment where I truly wanted to do a
"feel good post".
I hate that term, since every post I do
(typically)
makes Me feel good. But whatever.
I just wanted to take a moment and remind all you faithful readers,
that you should always take a time during your day to remember:
What makes you beautiful.
This post was inspired by the ever beautiful Rae.
Seriously this girl overwhelms me all the time.
Just from her pure and good hearted personality.
If you ever need someone to tell you "Hey I value you"
and "I'm thankful for your life"
Rae will be the one to step up and do that for you.
I've never been so grateful for a fellow girl in my life.
and when she writes on her blog, she definitely just makes me feel good.
Don't get me wrong, I still have that feeling of
"Man, I should be doing something glorious like she does" I get that feeling a lot with other blogs
But at the same time, I leave there thinking 'hm, I think I'm doing pretty good too."
Simply because Rae makes sure I know it.
I'm always saying to myself (and my tweeps) just how beautiful she is.
Not because I've ever really taken the time to stalk her pictures,
but because of her heart. compassion. intelligence. spirit.
that's what makes her beautiful.
That's when I got to thinking,
What makes me beautiful? And because I'm in a good place today, I thought up a few things:
--My generally positive outlook on life and people.
--My smile, and the fact that I'm willing to share it.
--The love I try everyday to make sure is expressed to my family and my husband.
--The effort I put in to making sure everyone is happy.
even though this can stress me out sometimes
--The laugh I can make my husband have
--The support I can offer to my mom
--The fact that I'd much rather help uplift someone than put them down.
(even if they don't always deserve it) --The art that I can help offer to others
That's just my small list.
But here's your part:
I want you to think up your own list of what makes you beautiful.
seriously. It may sound selfish or unneeded,
But I fully believe taking a moment sometimes to remind yourself
is essential If you do end up making one of those posts,
come back and link it up here so I can see!
I'll leave the link up for the rest of the month,
because I truly believe that more women should do this for themselves every once in a while.
and don't forget,
in some way,
I love you. :)
Hey y'all!
Pretty sure this is the last sponsor round-up for month of June.
But don't worry, there will be many more opportunities to chill and meet up,
especially if you follow me via facebook or twitter.
"I love to have a place where I can go to express my thoughts, share my stories, and hopefully inspire and uplift other women. I like to talk about womanhood, motherhood, marriage and everything in between! I believe that through blogging we can create a strong, community of women that can support one another through the good and the bad."
"Hi y'all! Royal Daughter Designs is a Christian lifestyle blog all about my life as a country girl. I write about gardening, ranching, and enjoying my front porch swing. You'll also find tutorials for beautifying your blog, recipes, and an occasional attempt at being fashionable."
Something exciting that Royal Daughter Designs is promoting is a linky party on Thursday June 14 - "Sponsor Showcase". It's all about promoting the heck out of your sponsors! Keep an eye out, and see what all the hype is about. Let your sponsors get as much love as you can!
I just want to share what my reality has become,
and I don't regret it for a second.
But I just find it humorous the things I find myself doing
that, given who I was only a few years ago,
I would have told you, "uh, yeah right."
So let's begin!
This week I'm going to be discussing: My sick perverted love of Call of Duty.
Noob Toob Ninja That is my official title when we go 'Crinton Hunting'
(We get super awesome ninja samurai when we play, so his name is Clinton, yeah) Basically, this is when our Mormon friend Clinton,
comes over to our little one bedroom apartment,
and we proceed to play two on one matches until obscene hours of the morning.
It switches up between rounds,
and the reason I am called this is because
I love Noob Toobs.
Okay, I can hear all you 'hard core gamers'
which I'm sure don't actually read my blog,
booing and hissing this decision.
Noob toobs are seen as vaguely taboo.
For all you non gamer ladies,
noob toobs are grenade launchers that attach to the end of your rifle.
You basically hip fire them and they cover a large expanse of area,
and this results in a lot of 'lucky shots', as well as insta kills.
Well, I did indeed start, as a noob,
with my only defense as being this noob toob from being
blown up in the frikin face each time I rounded a corner.
But NOW!
Now I am a noob toob ninja.
My absolute favorite thing is to creep up, lay in wait,
suddenly blast a grenade out in the midst of the boys I'm hunting,
and disappear into the night!
This starts getting incredibly hilarious the later the night goes on.
Especially when they start going horror movie girl on you.
You know. When they get all falsetto, going
"Where is she? Where'd she go? I'm so scared!" Yeah you can imagine nights get pretty fruity around here.
I could go on and on and on about how hilarious our COD matches get.
But I should preface this that we usually only play against each other,
or the bots. (automatic NPCs that run around on various levels of ability)
{our bots are two rounds shy of licking the walls}
But that's the fun of it.
That and if I play on xbox live against real people,
I get blood pressure headaches from the rage.
I've also recently infected my eight months pregnant sister with this passion.
When she came over and visited, we sat her down to play COD with us.
At first, she was like, ugh I don't play these games.
But by the end of it, she was screaming at the screen with the best of em,
especially about a certain bot with a blue scope.
This is even worse than a noob toob as far as taboo goes.
It reads body temperature, making your enemies bright glaring white to shoot at.
Total cop out.
So that's the first round of what I find myself doing,
that totally begins eating away, one by one, my 'girl points'.
What did you think?
Would you be interested in hearing more? I know it's totally random babbling,
but it's babbling close to my heart.
Leave me some love!
P.S. I have giveaways just EVERYWHERE!

Thanks again so much,

You've really made my day!
Helllo my little petunias!
How I've missed you!
I've been doing absolute shit on my blog this week.
I know I know, I'm sorry.
You must be totally bedridden with how extremely morose this has made you.
Send me your pain and suffering bills,
I'll pay in puppies and kisses.
But moving onto coffee!
If we sat down and had coffee today,
it would be nearly inevitable that I would make some lame crack
about how a self professed lover of tea only,
is now a brand new barista!
That's right!
This little homemade housewife got herself a job.
First once since I've been married and I'm a little nervous.
Also, I don't know squat about coffee.
But I told them that, and they still hired me.
believe it was 'creating habits instead of breaking them' and said to be a good thing.
So the 26th, my tentative start date,
will begin my brave new foray into coffee making.
I hope I can do all right at it,
and the extra income every month is sure to be a godsend.
I got just the job I was hoping for,
with a lower number of hours and something I could interact with people.
So I could still spend time with my husband,
and do something I'm good at.
After some mutual squealing,
congratulatory hugs,
and a hopeful check in with you
to hear if you have something exciting as well,
we'd move into blog talk.
As we all know, we tend to.
And I'd say:
Holy guacamole batman!
I don't even understand how I did it,
but I have giveaways out the wazoo.
There are marvelous giveaways going on all over the place,
and you can find a little piece of me in a lot of em!
The ones live right now are.
And there's even more to come!
I'll try to make sure to keep you updated.
I'd also confess that I'm tempted to change my blog layout
again. I can't help it. I love designing.
and so when I have nothing else to design for, I tend to redesign my own.
It's quite pretty if that helps.
I'd also share how excited I am that I'm only 5 followers away from 100!
I honestly never dreamed I'd even get that many.
I'm no 'must blog every day and advertise every single place I can have 500 followers in 3 months blogger'
Definitely not.
So to reach 100, in my own time, my own way,
it's been pretty gratifying.
Now that I'm done sharing my news,
I'd make sure that you got to tell me everything you wanted.
On top of possibly fiddling with your coffee,
trying to learn the in depth secrets of how to produce it.
I am slightly nervous of failing.
BUT! I shall give it my all until then!
Have a wonderful day everyone,
and make sure you stop by and visit Alissa to see what else people are spilling over coffee.
