My Weeks in Pics ~12/1 - 12/14~

So I found that I have a TON of pics to share, so let's get started with what I've done the first half of this month! :)

I managed to read over 100 books this year! For a while I thought I'd only read about 50 books and call myself awesome. Instead I'm at 110 :)

For more details check out my post about it and how amazing it felt reaching that goal HERE.

My brother was nice enough to take me pretty early to the doctor for a normal bloodtest (I do NOT do well with blood tests, they freak me out so I've passed out and thrown up and stuff, so not driving helps me relax a LOT). We were both surprised by a friend wanting to hang out after we had breakfast. I got to play with a rare breed of cat, and not just one, but four Japanese Bobtail kittens! They were so cute! Then we saw Guardians of the Galaxy just before it left the theaters. It is SO GOOD! Hilarious and ton fun, but also had me crying in the first 5 minutes! Well done, Marvel. :D

Taylor Davis is a new YouTuber that I discovered, who did a few covers for the Legend of Zelda, which were really awesome, and then I discovered she did a WHOLE ALBUM! I was sad that I couldn't hear it, but it's on Spotify! And it's awesome. What made it even more awesome is she saw my random tweet, favorited it, and then replied! :D

In case you guys don't know, I am one of two teachers that teach the four turning five year olds for my ward at church. They're all a tad crazy, and whether we have 5 or all 14 of them, it's always an adventure :D. But one of them is really a sweetheart, and he always gives me a big hug if he sees me outside of church. So he wanted to give me some cookies he and his family made! They were peppermint white chocolate chip and they were DELICIOUS! XD

Mighty loves my bed. Especially when I forget to make it, getting his desert-filled fur all over my pillow and giving me allergies. -_-'

Peter Hollens, an awesome YouTuber was trending on Facebook for DAYS because he's so amazing! :D

My Tumblr name that I didn't get to choose (gah) is llobrien13, and I've recently become part of Booklr (which is why I'm doing the Book Photo Challenge for December from Books and Cupcakes). Someone I just started following, Books and Cookies (not to be confused with the last Booklr I mentioned, they're different people), is a singer! And she's REALLY GOOD. Not like, "not bad" but like, "OMG SHE'S AWESOME" that kind of good! I'm glad she saw me reblog that song she did, cuz it's true. :)

Another movie I saw recently in theaters was Big Hero 6. And Disney is stepping up their game! It's SO GOOD. I loved it! You've got to see it, whether it's from the library for free or in theater like me, you need to!

Another shot of Mighty on my bed, but not a lighthearted one. Mighty got in a fight and lost against a cat bigger than him (surprising cuz he's a BIG cat) and got his nose and eye clawed up. His eye's pretty much fine (he can see out of it and the line isn't white, meaning it's not a scar, just healing up), but his nose looks awful, mostly cuz he kept rubbing it and smeared a huge glob blood that's dried there. But he was really not okay that night, though he's rather mad at us for not letting him out for very long all weekend. He's okay, just bloodied up.

Rather a large amount of pictures for just two weeks! I'll probably have a LOT more coming, cuz I'm gonna be decorating and got some fun plans for the holidays. Hope you and your pets are doing great!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN! My Weeks in Pics ~10/12 - 10/31~

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

My fav holiday is here! But while the kiddos are running amok tonight, me and my girls celebrated last Saturday. And instead of doing a special Halloween post like last year, I'm gonna do a special VIDEO, so make sure your subscribed to my YouTube Channel to see it tonight at 7 PM PST!

Anywho, onto what I've done the rest of this month! (Told you I'd be better at doing these!)

I went shopping and picked up a few things. The only thing of note from one shopping trip is the adorable owl chapstick from Forever 21. Not the greatest chapstick, but IT'S SO CUTE! ><

And then I was watching ke-sha Forsaken's book haul where she hauled The Blood of Olympus, and I had to have it. Also had to junk food, because I have the self discipline of a squirrel when it comes to sweets.

I fangirled hard when I found out WhittyNovels was following me on Tumblr.

Halloween decorations started in my room at the beginning of the month, so I could film with it, as well as just look at it. Favorite month and holiday, of course my room is glowing with pumpkins, owls, and whatever else I found at Target. :)

Me and my girls celebrated Halloween already by eating enough junk food for an army (seriously, Ray bought a laundry basket FULL of food!!!!)

Megan was The Tardis from Dr. Who, Ray is dressed as Thea on her date with Loki from her fanfic Darkness There, and Nothing, and I was a knight. I had to pull everything together in less than a day because of a family emergency that had me in Phoenix for about a week.

Went shopping again, picked up some more makeup, as well as Taylor Swift's 1989, Target Deluxe Edition. IT'S AMAZING! I've listened to the whole album about 30 times already, and I picked it up THIS WEEK!

While getting my cd, I found these romance novels. They're so corny, I had to take a picture to chuckle at :D

Had to save this picture from Tumblr. It's a post about reading, and how we need to accept each other and stop judging what others read. Then LA Knight, Ray, reblogged it with those tags. HILARIOUS! :D

Now for my home Halloween decorations. There's a lot, and it took 3 days (mostly because I kept putting some of it off, lol)

This is what the front entryway looks like, just waiting for Trick or Treaters! I have to admit, I do more inside than outside, but that's cuz I don't want grabby little ones to steal the adorable stuffed animals! The hand made witch by my Aunt Jean is with the teddy bears on my dresser sitting in the hallway. My current one is barely functioning, so I needed a new one, this one was free, but I'm dying to fix it up to look cool. When that happens I'll let ya'll know because my room will look very different :)

The reason I have a grim reaper on the other little table that's always sat by the door, in this house and our previous one, is because it's too scary for little ones. More than one parent was holding a little boy or girl in tears when I put it up last, so for the past 2 or so years it's been on the table, so the bigger kids can see it, bu the little ones can't.

And then just some pumpkins my grandfather gave to me (randomly he came home with 7 of them for me!) as well as a few other things are right by the door.

I told you we're lacking in the outside decor! Our door's simple this year because a. can't use the door hanging we have and b. last time I used fake webbing it was full of ants! Had to toss it. So our big spider, my "Are you a good witch or a bad witch?" hanging sign, and a witch picture are all I have to work with.

To light the path for the little ones I have some purple lights (I really need more, only got 1 box ><) as well as a pumpkin sign thingy that we were randomly gifted. And of course, our Trick or Treat giant bows are hanging form out lights outside, as well as our wooden bats are in our tree. I may put up the ghosty, but I haven't a clue where to put him...

Welp, that's it! I'm ready for tonight...mostly. We have a light up pumpkin by the door, but the lights went out, so I need to hit up Walmart down the road for more.

Oh, and if you saw that my car broke down, it was a loose hose. We just put it back on, filled up the radiator, and now it's fine! So I need to get dressed and head to Wallyworld.

Have a fun Halloween!

AND, for something spooky, I'll just post this video here, because it's my fav this time of year!

My Week(s) in Pics ~6/30 - 7/21~

Hey Guys!

OMG it's been CRAZY! NEVER doing two read-a-thons back to back again! BookTube-A-Thon almost killed me! Friday I had several mental breakdowns and ended up just crying and trying to not punch people!

BUT I have pictures! I did take quite a few, so here they are!

Yeah I get this.

Soo, before the read-a-thon's got started I had to wake up early...and my alarm clock went off at about 3 times it's normal volume. And if you didn't know, I tend to dream about fighting and having to fight for my life. So that's what I was dreaming about when a rock song came on at 3x's the sound level. I fell out of bed. I'm not sure how, only that I found myself on the floor with this righteous bruise forming. I still have it. TWENTY DAYS LATER!!!! And this pic does NOT do it justice, it was all tie-dye and every few hours the colors would change. Now it's barely there but I can still feel it. o.o'

I kept my strength up during the read-a-thons by eating healthy! And this cookie cereal from Kroger (Fry's here) is actually not bad for you! Maybe it is if you eat as much of it as I have, but still. Yummy yummy deliciousness!

So on Pinterest I have reach over 400 followers! WOW! To all, seriously thank you! I'm glad you like all my randomness!!!

The same day I also got up and headed out with Ray to see Captain America 2: The Winter Soldier! I really loved it, and now LA is (of course) making a new fanfic separate from Darkness There and Nothing/Edge of Darkest Devotion. It's really good, at least the first chapter is, so I suggest you head over to her fanfiction page and check it out!

This is the most unflattering thumbnail my computer could have possibly created. Wow. Thank you, computer.

So yesterday I realized that my BookTube-A-Thon Wrap Up was nothing but blurry, so I had to refilm it. Then I decided to film several other things. This was the makeup look I did for the last video. Crazy and a little out there, I'd never wear this out (unless it was a great party or something). Any ideas on what it was I filmed? HINT: I read it during BookTube-A-Thon!

So that was what I've been up to! Make sure to check out my YouTube page for a run-down of all my vids I filmed, edited, and posted in the middle of these read-a-thons. Thanks for the support!

Also, my Wrap Up will be going up later today, so be subscribed to see it when it's live at 7 PM PST!

My Week in Pics ~6/8 - 6/27~ + #AYearAThon Announcement

So, I'm not very good at sticking with not doing something. Seriously, not.

Which is why I decided to do this post no matter what! I guess I'll just do what I've been doing, and just post them sometimes. :)

So this is just a little update about how things are going!

After tweeting about how I was loving Divergent their official twitter followed me! Trust me, I've already filmed a book review about it where I was rocking makeup that reminded me of Tris (makeup I don't wear). I'll post about it when it goes up.

Follow me on twitter here.

BookTube News reblogged some of my vids again! Big thanks for the shoutout, Elizziebooks!

Follow me on tumblr here.

Bookmans also replied to my tweet about the library sale. Thanks for the view guys! And keep doing what you do, the store's awesome!

Watch the video here.

And in case you're tired of hearing about my shoutouts, this is the tumblr for Whitney from Whittynovels. She's only 16, incredibly funny and...whitty! (get it? Okay, I'm corny, but it's in her screen name!) She asked for people to criticize her page without sugar coating it, so I did. She's awesome and amazing, and this time the links to HER YouTube page, because she deserves it.

Her YouTube page is here!

That's what I've been up to! Okay, it's just from last week, since I wasn't taking pictures very much. I'll be better, I promise!

But as the title says, this isn't just about my week in pics, it's also my debut of my latest video, which is my #AYearAThon July Announcement!

This month the theme is Classics. I haven't had much success with reading classics. Pretty much if it's labeled a classic I don't like it. Things Fall Apart, The Count of Monte Cristo, The Scarlet Letter. All of these I had to read in school and I hated with a passion. So if it's called a classic, I avoided it, even if I liked the movie adaptation (I learned Hollywood is good at making them look better on screen with Count of Monte Cristo). But I decided to at least try and bought a classic, and The Complete Works of William Shakespeare at the library sale. Also decided that The Lord of the Rings is close enough to classics for me to reread them, or at least try. I'm close to the end of The Fellowship of the Ring and will be finishing that.

Here more about my plans in the video below! Hope you guys have a great week!

My Week(s) in Pics ~5/3 - 5/23~

Another thing I haven't posted in My Weeks in Pics! I'm sorry guys! Weekends are officially hectic, except for Sunday evenings, but as I've stated a million times, I don't post anything, ANYTHING, to do with work on Sundays. I don't write, edit, film, post, reply to comments, blog, nada that day. I never have, and never will. Sundays are special from midnight to midnight. I even limit what I watch, read, and listen to.

With that said, I do have quite a few pictures, so LETS GET STARTED!!!

First let's talk about something from APRIL! I couldn't find these pictures for the longest time! This is when me and David were at the County Fair at the end of April. We only rode two rides because the lines were HUGE, but it was still fun. Although a dude randomly screaming at this crying girl was hard to see. What a dick. Anywho, this first pic is of the swings I wanted to ride, but we couldn't fit it in. The next was G Force, the first ride we went on. I screamed pretty much the whole time. It was a blast. (Sorry for the blurriness, I only had my cell, which, as you can see, SUCKS at pics)

Chriselle Lim followed me on twitter! OMG, I fangirled so much! She's a pro stylist, works with huge brands, wears designer brands, even went to fashion week more than once! And she (or her team, same thing!) followed little old me! XD

*fangirling again*

This is why I read, and why I love it so much that I not only do videos about it, but write too! :D

Angel was behind my dad, so she was in heaven. Although sometimes if I so much as look at her, she flips out. It's rather hilarious.

FINALLY got some new shoes! My old ones had holes! I'm currently wearing them, and they're SO comfy! Just over $30 for Sketchers. Not bad, eh? Ross! The facial wash is nice, and those wipes! LOVE them! Cleanse and hydrate all at once!

I always have to save when big YouTubers, such as the amazing Michelle Phan reply to me! In case you don't know, Michelle has done so much in her life, and just got an honorary degree from her college a few weeks ago, and she thanks me for congratulating her. Trust me, she deserves the congrats for everything she's done. I totally look up to her!

jessethereader, one of the biggest BookTubers also replied to me! I subscribed, watched this vid, answered his question, and he replied in less than 5 minutes! Wow! #Honored

Cassandra Clare answered fan questions about her upcoming novel, City of Heavenly Fire. My bestie, Ray asked a serious question, and got a serious reply! This is just part of the huge answer Cassandra answered. While I'm not a fan of the last three of her Mortal Instruments Series, it can't be said she doesn't take her fans seriously, and doesn't serious think out her characters. Check here to see the whole interview.

My twitter is on fire lately! BookTubers have replied, favorited, and WhittyNoves--witney! on Twitter--even subscribed! In 1 week I gained 4 subscribers, and just today another one. If I sound like I'm bragging, I'm sorry, because I'm not. I'm honored by every view, favorite, reply and subscriber. I'm posting this as a giant THANK YOU! I love you guys! Thanks so much!

That was my past few weeks! I've got a haul coming up tonight, so subscribe to my YouTube to see them on time, and even more awesomeness has happened in the past few days.

Love you guys! Have a great week!
