2014 has been an incredible year for me and I'm hoping 2015 will be just as amazing if not more. I graduated from college, I got an apartment (in my name) with my brother, had one of my blog posts featured on a website, started writing for an online magazine, received a gift card for one of my posts (The Ihop one), most importantly made some amazing blogger friends and was able to share the journey with some amazing friends outside of the blogging world (who don't know it but are going to make it into some pretty funny blog posts).

I.G.G.WHY?

Before I begin I want to give you a background on why you should even consider taking my Iggy Azalea opinion into consideration. I'm not a hip hop blogger, musician of any kind, nor is hip hop even my favorite genre of music (I prefer R&B the baby making kind to be exact haha). So why is my opinion even valid?

I don't hate Kim Kardashian.

I somehow found myself on Buzzfeed arguing about how Kim Kardashian became a "celebrity" recently. It's a well-known fact that I think she's an amazing entrepreneur, mother, and person. However, many people don't believe the same and in all honestly I respect their opinions. So I'm not going to try to argue against that but what I am questioning is why do we dislike her?

#Winning: Screenshots of hilarious Ihop Tweets

I've always loved Taco Bell and its witty use of social networking sites. From it's ever so perfect twitter account to it's ridiculously interactive Snapchats (remember the Taco Bell Snapchat movie?). Taco Bell has always been winning when it comes to connecting with the masses. However, there is a new Kingpin of social media and his/her name is Ihop.

Ice Cream, Wine and Carrie Bradshaw

I usually put quotes under pictures but does this really need a caption?

Woman Crush Wednesday:The Most Popular Girls in School

It's 12pm and my friend randomly posts a video to her Facebook wall with the caption "You're welcome". With nothing else to do I click the video. For rest of the day I become completely consumed. The video and my downward spiral of a fleeting social existence become a reality. I become hooked on a Youtube show but not just any show..."The Most Popular Girls in School".

Sunday Funday: Things I loved this week/Weekly Recap

I hadn't had the opportunity to blog much this week because of school, work, working out (walking), and taking care of my niece. Last week I had scheduled all my blog posts so that I wouldn't need to continuously post but that wasn't the case this week. I didn't get a chance to. So sorry about that guys. I do still plan on keeping the schedule I had previously planned so Motivational Monday-Sunday Funday will still be a real thing.

Sunday Funday: what I'm all about

So if you know me well (or know me at all) you know that I frequently say the phrase "I'm all about ______". Basically that means that I'm obsessed with something. Anything at all. It could be music, a person, a movie, a book...like I said anything! So I decided that since I'm always all "about something" I would just share what I'm all about with you right.

Movie Night: Mean Girls and Clueless!

Basically I'm not reviewing a movie tonight. I really wanted to watch Mean Girls and Clueless instead. Yes, I could have reviewed them and discussed how I felt about these movies. Honestly though, they're classics and I happen to adore these two films. So instead of me going on a "I love these movies and why" rant I will post some of my favorite scenes, lines and show how these films relate to the lives of basically every 20 something girl or just me.

Movie Night: Robot & Frank (spoilers...so many spoilers)

For this movie review I took some notes and decided to share them with you. During my screenwriting class I decided that writing, pausing, and rewinding were the best methods for me to be able to understand a movie entirely. No, I don't do this for every film I watch but I follow this method for films that I am going to review. So here are a couple (not) just a couple of my thoughts throughout the film.

What if: 10 songs that would have been better if sung by another artist

There are successful artist with successful songs, unsuccessful artist with successful songs, successful artist with unsuccessful songs and then there are songs and artist that are equally unsuccessful. Sometimes it's not because the artist but they're unsuccessful because of poor management (JoJo) .
Not everyone can be accepted into their chosen genre but their songs are still perfect either way. So here's a list based on my favorite list from VH1 (Check out the VH1 list here).

Sunday Funday: The Necessary Death of Charlie Countryman

IT'S SUNDAY! Are you excited for the week? I should be traveling to Fresno, California soon (if not today than sometime soon) to visit my brother, take a much needed vacation and handle some business. Basically job hunt and apartment search. Anyways every Saturday(and I mean EVERY even if it's like 2am because Sunday for me doesn't start until I wake up) I will review a movie I have recently seen. Whether it is good or bad. Oh and I promise to try and not give too many spoilers. However, today I will do a movie review because I have recently seen "The Necessary Death of Charlie Countryman" and I need to discuss it. Plus if you follow me on Facebook or Twitter (which you should/links are on the right) you know I promised this review last night.

Oh how I missed her...

Happy Saturday! I hope you're having fun filled weekend. I have an announcement to make today...NICOLE RICHIE IS BACK ON T.V AND BOY DID I MISS HER. Now that I have gotten that out the way I can explain why Nicole Richie is the fashion icon we missed, needed, and never really realized how much we loved her without Paris Hilton. This will be done through a series of pictures of her. So lets let the fun begin!
