My Month in Pics ~February 2015~

So it's been a week or so, but here's my February!

Starting things off with a cute kitty! Mighty was randomly in the computer room off and on all month. When he was slightly awake he hated my music and would bail, but one day he just chilled for like, 2 hours. Looking adorable like this. :)

It was Gem Show month! I was excited and scared because I was in charge of getting us registered, and went with first my mom and then my besties! (Just realized I'm missing my green kitty watch...WHOOPS!) I had a ton of fun and love the owl necklaces (and yes, the necklace on the left is also a watch)

My Tumblr has exploded. I gain at least 5 followers a week. It's crazy and blows me away to see it climb every day or two. And one day I opened up my activity and found 175 notes in the span of about 4-6 hours. That's insane! I'm very grateful for every follower, cuz I didn't know anyone on Tumblr except 1 person when I started my blog, and knew no one in the Booklr community, so all of them/you are amazing!!!

I sometimes pause my videos while editing and get faces like this. Yeah, don't know what I was doing...

I had to share that tag. Too funny and really accurate.

Another funny post from Tumblr that I had to share. Cuz that's how I feel. Not how everyone feels, but that would be me. :)

So those were all the pics from February! Hope you enjoyed!

My Week(s) in Pics ~1/29 - 2/15~

Hey Guys!

Sorry for not posting one of these last week. I had two pictures before the Gem Show, then was at the Gem Show the days I was supposed to upload. And then I was too tired to post after that, and my room was just too dirty.

BUT! I have quite a few pics, and one more blog post to go up tomorrow. Yes, tomorrow, a Sunday. But not for work. It's about where I was yesterday...the Gilbert Temple Open House! Wonderful temple! I got to see rooms I've never been allowed in, and some offices and things that I may never see again. It so cool and beautiful...and I digress.

OH! Another thing...I FINISHED WARRIOR! That book is DONE! Now I've just got to edit it. It's kinda...huge. Like really huge. After all, there's another chapter you guys don't actually know about. :)

Anywho, took some more pictures and here they are!

Something I forgot to show in the last WiP post was that I'm now over 200 followers on Pinterest! Wow! Thanks to all of you guys for following my craziness! :)

February 1st I wore red to remember Congenital Heart Defects, an illness that affects millions, including Jessica Jensen, who passed away from it 3 years ago this October. I don't have any rich, red shirts or dresses, so I settled for my red pants.
RIP Jess! Love you! <3 nbsp="" p="">

Going along with Pinterest, this pin's gotten pretty popular. It's my favorite, and one of the most heartbreaking moments in Bleach. If you don't know what's going on, READ THAT MANGA! You can read it online, and at least my library stays on top of the big 3 manga, since so many people read it. So check it out!

Here's a link to my fav site for it (go to the bottom for all the chapters): http://mangadoom.com/bleach/

This pic's a little blurry, but that's because it's from my cellphone. Strider's a lover kitty, but not a lap cat. He'll rarely be on my lap longer than a minute or two. This time he was cuddling with me for almost 5 minutes! Had to capture the moment. :)

Now that Mighty's been going out for a good while, he's become not only a nice cat, but a playful one! This was taken around midnight! He'd been running around so much the hallway rug was all messed up. Then, while I watched, he dove into the roll, and stayed like that for a good while. A couple nights ago, he even played with me!

Last weekend was the Tucson Arizona Gem and Mineral Show. If you aren't certain or just don't know what that is, it's the biggest show of it's kind in the world. Anything you can think of that goes along with that is there. They've got lots of jewelry, gems, and precious stones, but also lots of other cool things from furniture to swords, statues of wood and stone, clothes, scarves, etc. etc. It's all over the city. Most places are open to the public, or are easy to sign up to get passes. Other places require a business license, or, at the largest and most prestigious place, a jewelers license and proof that the business exists. Of course I can't get into the biggest place, a resort where there are diamonds as big as your head. BUT! My family's and friends have been going to the Gem Mall and Holodom for years, and that just requires a business license, or a copy of one.

I attended twice this year, once with my mom, aunts, David, and a cousin, and the next day with my girls and cousins. This haul's from the first day. I can't help but spend most of the money the first time through getting items off my list. The rest is spent on other things that I just think are cute.

As you can tell, I got only a few things the next day. All of these purchases were from vendor's I've visited in the past years. All my necklaces/earrings and that bracelet/ring were from the same vendor, who sells statement jewelry between $5-$12 only! Isn't that AWESOME!?! The ring was only $2, the rose earrings $4, and that watches were $12 from Geneva, who's got a million stalls all over the city. Best place to buy watches! Super cheap, and they last years! The pendant and scarf were from vendors I've seen before, but never bought anything from. I plan to make a necklace of that pendant, and my mom's got plenty of beads and things for me to do so.

So that was my past two weeks, minus the Gilbert Temple Open House. Look for the post about that tomorrow.

Do you do anything really fun recently, or hit a major achievement like me?

February Favorites!

Wow!

Hard to believe how fast this month went by! I had a really good month, what with Gem Show and seeing cousins and SNOW! We had a blizzard, in Tucson AZ! So hard to believe, right? It wasn't really a blizzard, but since it never snows, a lot of snow is the closest we'll ever have here!

So here's my favs of the month!

Makeup

 

 

CoverGirl's Lipstick in Hot Passion

OMG, this color is awesome! And it doesn't smear, like at ALL! I have the exact shade from Wet n Wild, and it smears like crazy! Big thanks to Ingrid for the advice, it's totally worth paying $7!

 

Fashion

 

 

Hair Care

 

 

Tresemme Keratin Smooth Serum

This helps my damaged hair look shiny and smooth, no matter what! I love it, though it smells like chemicals... ><

 

My Rocking Horse Necklace!

I got this at the Gem Show for $1. Seriously! I'm obsessed with it, and I don't have to worry about allergies or anything because it's nickle free! What a score, and it's just so cute! Didn't think I'd be in love with it like I am!

 

Music

 

 

Michelle Phan got me obsessed with yet another song! "How to be a Heartbreaker" by Marina and The Diamonds (yes, "the" is supposed to be capitalized), was the inspiration for one of her videos, and I love the look and the song!

 

Book

 

 

This is the, what, tenth? Book in the Guardians of Ga'Hoole book series. It's a little young for me (of course), but I loved the movie, and just had to read the books. This is actually the start of the second series in the novels, but you do have to read the 9 novels before it, or you won't get what's going on.

 

TV Show

 

 

Yes, I just can't stay away from kids stuff this month. But in my defense 1) I grew up loving the first movie and 2) when my writing is super depressing and dark, like the last chapter, I need something goofy and silly and not dark at all to balance it out. And they're just super funny.

 

Blog

 

 

blogs.disney.com

This blog was how I found out about "Tell a Fairytale Day", because they had a super cute blog about it. I just really enjoy them finding all sorts of amusing or awesome blogs on here to read! Follow Disney on Facebook, and you'll see each blog every day!

 

Website

 

Remember on MySpace, the bulletin board that was on your page, where you could add your own photos, or go through millions of pics to add on there? Yeah, this is that, but to a whole other level! I hadn't joined until now because I knew I'd become addicted, and indeed I have! So has LA Knight, and the last time we edited, we ended up on pinterest for 2-3 hours!

 

Video

 

 

To This Day by Shane Koyczan

Watch it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ltun92DfnPY&feature=share&list=FLaAuZ7-QAgDGk2g_IzAxXwg

This vid is AMAZING! Prepare yourself for tears, because this vid is just so sad and so accurate. It's about bullying, and what is really going on. Best thing about bullying EVER!

GO WATCH!

 

Random Thing

 

 

To quote Ingrid: "SCHNOW!!!"

Yes, I've blogged and tweeted and message and talked about this A LOT, but I can't hlep it! It snowed like, 4 inches or more out here more than once! I didn't want it to stop! But sadly it did!

 

 

And, of course, The Gem Show!

This was the first day, with my girls and my cousins! And I went again with Danielle (she's the one crouching down on the left) and the aunts, and had a blast! It was so fun! Can't wait till next year!

 

 

That's my favs of the month! Hope yours was as fun!

My Week in Photos ~2/9 - 2/15~

Hey ya'll!

Whoo! I've had a crazy, amazing, fun week! Went to the Holodome and Gem Mall at the Tucson AZ Gem and Mineral Show, the largest of it's kind in the whole world! And it snowed. Twice. Not to mention Valentine's Day, and the regular stuff! So, as you can see, I've got quite a bit of photos! So bear with me and enjoy the ride!

 

 

Before meeting up with my family for a great day of shopping, it snowed! In Southern Arizona! Pretty crazy!

 

 

This was the crew for the first day of Gem Show shopping! Lots of my cousins and my girls met up!

(Left to Right: Megan, Me, Ray, Sarah, Nicole, Jennifer, Jordan and below is Danielle and Erin)

 

 

I got this ring for only $8! At the mall with would be $30, on sale!

 

 

This is everything I got that day!

 

 

This cute watch reminded me of Michelle Phan!

 

 

This is Strider's favorite pose. Sleeping with his head down and the rest of of his body in a different pose! I've been dying to get this shot, but he always woke up and moved before I could!

 

 

My look on Sunday with my studded headband and statement necklace!

 

 

Picked up this little haul the next day. The necklaces were $1 and the watch was $2

 

 

Also got these rings! The big one was $1 and the other two were about $3.30! What a deal!

 

 

When we left the Gem Show, it was poring rain...until we got home. There, it was snowing again! This time it's stuck. There's still parts of the neighborhood that still has some on the ground!

 

 

I'm officially a fashionista! I bought my first Vogue!

 

 

One of my mom's students gave her this yesterday! Isn't it so cute? Me and Megan split it!

 

 

But we let Megan have these! Aren't they adorable?

 

 

That was my week! I hope yours was as fun and exciting, and a late Happy Valentine's Day ya'll!!
