Weekly Favorites

Favorite Cover:

In my opinion, it's just as good as the original

Favorite Jewelry Item:

My rose gold watch.  I can't quite afford a Michael Kors, but I honestly love it just as much as I would have loved a designer brand.  I'm not one for buying things just for the brand anyways.

Favorite Person:

Ty!  Holding his trophy after his soccer game :)

Favorite TV Show:

Whale Wars
New season has started a couple weeks ago and it's already pretty intense.  I love this show, it's worth watching.

Favorite Song:

Weekly Favorites

Piece of Jewlrey: Cream and Gold Pyramid Bracelet from Forever21

Bath Product: Honey I Washed the Kids soap from Lush

The best smelling soap ever.

It's not really typical for me to like something like this, but I did indeed enjoy this TV film.

Song: Give Your Heart a Break, Demi Lovato

I've always liked her music.

Lip Product: Revlon Lip Butters

Tutti Frutti, Sweet Tart, Creme Brulee

Tutti Frutti is my favorite of the three

Weekly Favorites

Hey! I've not been able to write a ton of blogs during the past week because I've been at home in Illinois.  Now that I'm back in Orlando I'm going to have more time on my hands so I'll be sure to post more often.

Here are this week's (and last week's) weekly favorites:

Favorite Blush:

NYX Rouge Cream Blush

I love cream blushes for summer because they tend to last longer especially when the weather is hot and muggy.  The color that I have been using is 09 Orange and I absolutely love it on my skin tone.  My sister purchased the Hot Pink one so I got to try that one out and I also love that color.

Favorite Movie:

My mom, sister, and I watched this movie on Mother's day and It was sooo good.  I really recommend seeing this movie.  I usually don't like movies that aren't funny (not saying that this one doesn't have it's funny moments, but its not a comedy), but I really liked this!

Favorite YouTube Channel:

The Ellen Show

I don't usually have time to watch The Ellen Show on TV, but if I did, I would watch everyday.  I adore Ellen.  I think she's one of the funniest women comedians out there.  I make my boyfriend, Ty, watch her videos with me all the time.  Everyone should subscribe to her channel because who doesn't want a good laugh?

Favorite Tasty Treat:

Molly's Cupcakes

2536 N. Clark St.

Chicago, IL

I pretty much beg my sister to take me here every time I'm home.  They have the best cupcakes that I've ever tasted (I think it's because of the frosting).  This time around I had the strawberry shortcake cupcake.  It was vanilla cake with strawberry filling and vanilla buttercream.  Yum.

Favorite TV Show:

Parks and Rec!  The season just ended and the finale was so good.  Easily one of my favorite shows of all time because I love the kind of humor that this show has.

Favorite Handbag Designer:

Rebecca Minkoff

I love her M.A.C. Clutches.  I love how these bags have the chain detailing.  I can't quite afford to own one yet, but one day I will.  

Favorite Place I Would Love to Visit One Day:

Kennebunkport, Maine.

Weekly Favorites

Favorite Laugh:

I got some really good laughs from watching these videos.  All three are of people singing the national anthem absolutely horribly.  I know that doesn't sound really funny, but you just have to watch them, they're hilarious.  I hope you laugh as much as I did.

Watch this next one at least 'til "red glare"

Favorite Youtuber/Blogger:

My favorite person to watch on Youtube at the moment is Allison (or amarixe).  She is a beauty guru who does tutorials, reviews, hauls etc.  I absolutely love her personality and I really enjoy watching her videos.  But not only does she make youtube videos, she also blogs so check her out cause I know you'd love her too!

here is her beauty channel

and this is her blog

Favorite Sweet & Salty Treat:

Chocolate covered pretzels!

Favorite TV Show:

How I Met Your Mother

This actually isn't just a weekly favorite...this show is an alltime favorite of mine.  I've been watching this show for a really long time now and I've seen every single episode.  Jason Segal is probably my favorite actor and he's absolutely hilarious on the show. 

Favorite Recipe:

Carrot Cake

I made mini carrot cake cupcakes for the first time ever using this recipe.  They turned out really well!  Sooo delicious!

Favorite Room Fragrance:

I'm obsessed with Wallflowers from Bath and Body Works/Slatkin & Co.  Right now my absolute favorite scent is "Sea Spray."

An Introduction & First Weekly Favorites

Hello everyone!  Since this is my first blog post ever, I thought I would start out by introducing myself.  My name is Amy and I am 21 years old.  I'm currently a student at the University of Central Florida and living in Orlando.  I'm a Communication Sciences and Disorders major and I'm set to graduate this August (soo close!  I can not wait!).  Although I've lived in Florida for the past four years, I do not consider it to be home.  My heart will always be in Chicago with the rest of my family.

My mom, my sister, Jae, and me
(and scottie, of course)

my dad and me somewhere in Chicago

Jae and me: the typical Bean picture.

Because I'm introducing everyone important to me, I should also introduce my boyfriend, Tyson.  He's also a student at UCF but more importantly hes just plain awesome.

There he is! 

Anywho, more about me and this blog:  I love anything girly.  Hair, nails, crafts, cooking etc...i LOVE it all.  So you can expect a lot of tutorials, recipes, and DIYs.  Music is also another passion of mine.  I love to sing and play the guitar and I also dabble in piano so also expect some music related blog posts.  But before I jump into all of the good stuff, I'm going to start out with weekly favorites.  This is something I'm planning on doing every week (hopefully).  I'm just going to share anything that is a favorite of mine that week.  This may include music, movies, websites, youtube videos, food, anything really.  So here it is:

WEEKLY FAVORITES!

Favorite songs:

Favorite Laughs:
#whatshouldwecallme

This is a funny tumblr.  I can honestly just sit in class and look at this for the whole 3 hours.  It's so hard to not laugh out loud and make my professors suspicious that I am not actually listening to every word they are saying.

Favorite Nail Polish:

Essie's Tart Deco has been on my nails for the past week.  I love coral nails for spring and I love pairing them with silver glitter. 

Favorite Drinks:

I've been obsessed with smoothies for the past couple of weeks.  They're a good meal substitute or snack that is not only low in calories, but super delicious and really easy to make.  The smoothie that I have been making the most is raspberry banana.  Use frozen raspberries and bananas with apple juice and a splash of light Silk.  If it needs to be sweetened, I suggest turbanado.
