Flashback to the 90s


While blog reading, I came across a post by Syndal and well, it has made my entire day.
Born in 1987, I'm pretty much a 90s girl.
If you grew up in the 90s, please watch these.
& remember when TV use to be good.
You will thank me.



Talk about nostalgia.

What do you miss from the 90s?

Also, Happy Friday!

Word-Filled Wednesday {27}


Just something I need reminded of as I often fall into the mind set that things should just happen because I want them to.
I need to remember that I have to make an effort, instead of just wanting.

Word-Filled Wednesday {26}


I'm bringing back one of my favorite posts to write, since it's been a few months.
Enjoy!



Loving who I am is a constant struggle for me.
Reading this just makes me smile.
I hope you all are able to be happy and love who you are.
If not, you can continue the journey with me to work on it!

Happy Wednesday!

New App Alert!


As if there weren't enough things to waste my time on, I found a new game.
A new addicting game.
Say hello to




It's like Hangman.
I made Vito download it last night.
SO much fun!

If you play it already, do you feel a new addiction starting too?
& we should be playing: caramelphotos

If you aren't playing, you should be!
Because really, who needs productivity anyway?

Happy Monday!

"No entertainment is so cheap as reading, nor any pleasure so lasting"


Title: Quote by Mary Wortley Montagu

So the e-reader situation.
I read up on information.
I spoke with people at Best Buy.
I played with both big names.
I had already made my decision.
Then there was a sale.
This solidifies my decision.
I present you my final choice:


I bought it last week and I ADORE it.
Like, love.
The reasons I chose it?
First off, I liked the touch screen instead of the key board. It's easier for me.
Second, playing with them I found the Nook's pages and such easier to navigate overall.
Third, the touch screen portion? Color. Love it.
Forth, overall the reviews I read, most went with the Nook.
Fifth, there are waaaaay more cute nicknames I can use for the Nook vs the Kindle.
For me, it was no contest in the end.

Do I miss the feeling of holding a good book?
Yes and no.
I'll always love books. There is just something about them.
But the Nook is waaaay easier to hold and read.
No pages flopping shut.
No more bulky books in my purse.
I've already finished one book (Water for Elephants) and started on a second (My Horizontal Life).
My favorite finding?
Being able to borrow e-books from the library.
Free books... Not having to leave home... LOVE.

I've fallen in love with the Nook!

"Anyone who says they have only one life to live must not know how to read a book."


Title: Quote by unknown author

Oh Reading.
Ask me about things I missed while I was in school and somewhere in the top 5, I would say reading.
I tried to avoid picking up books during the school year because I never wanted to put them down.
I get lost in the books and want to do nothing else but read.
Not such a good thing when papers need written or projects need completed.

Now that I've graduated, there will be so much more time to read.
SO exciting!
One idea I've been toying with is buying an e-reader.
I brought it up to Vito around Christmas and he shot down my idea.
Saying it isn't worth the money unless I'd be reading a lot.
I put the idea out of my head for awhile but now with my birthday, the idea came creeping back.
So yesterday after Vito took me to dinner, we headed over to Best Buy and I played with the different e-readers.

Even after playing with them, I have an idea of which one I like better.
I still feel like I need more opinions!
So I thought, who better to turn to but my dearest bloggy friends.
So tell me about your e-reader!
Which is better:
Kindle or Nook?

Or another one??
If you don't have an e-reader, why not?
Help a chica out!
