My Week in Pics ~5/3- 5/10~

Hey Guys!

Sorry for not posting sooner, but I had a dinner planned and slept in...REALLY slept in!

But I've shot some pics, never fear!

 
The things I read for work!
 
 
Bethany Mota aka MacBarbie07 from Youtube has created a monster. This is the Cotton Candy Frappuccino, which is a Vanilla Bean with a pump of raspberry. OMG, it is SO good. Addicted! Especially since this week they have Frappuccino happy hour, where all fraps are 1/2 off from 3-5 PM!
 
 
I decided I needed some inspiration, so I'm rewatching this trilogy, the extended editions of course!
 
 
This is my new breakfast obsession: smoothies! Todays was particularly good!
 
 
At a business meeting at Starbucks, because they have free internet, and LA Knight's apartment doesn't have any. Oh, and there's the happy hour I told you about. Yup, we were there, during that time. This is LA's (the happy woman in the photo) frap, a strawberries and cream with the whipcream whipped in.
 

 
 
This is my favorite restaurant EVER! Mi Niditos, which means "my little nest" in Spanish, is THE best Mexican restaurant in the world! In fact, it was featured in "Man vs Food", it's that famous.
The picture below is my regular order, an order of ground beef tacos (3) with a side of beans. I usually drink Lemonade, if I haven't had too much sugar that day!
 
 
And while I writing this blog, my Relief Society President dropped by to give me this rose, randomly! Thanks!
 
That's my week! Have anything fun planned this weekend? I'm stuck moving boxes for my mom, but what about you? Let me know!

My Weekly Pics ~4/26 - 5/3~

Hey guys!

Okay, I don't have many pics, but I have some, I promise!

Here's what my week's been like!

 
 
Who screamed like a retarded fan girl when she saw her big brother bought this for himself, and then stole it and hasn't given it back yet? Me! ^^ Hee hee, he hasn't asked for it back yet...
 
 
Saturday, my sister Megan took me and her to the fair, and we had a TON of fun!
 
 
Since our pics at the fair turned out pretty blurry, I took another of my haircut. I love this dress, too! You may remember it from last fall here: http://lorienlobrien.blogspot.com/2012/08/my-week-in-photos-824-831.html
 
 
I have fallen in love with this eyeshadow! You can check out the rest of my monthly favs here: http://lorienlobrien.blogspot.com/2013/04/my-april-favorites-2013.html
 
So that was my week!
 
You do anything fun or crazy? Let me know in the comments!!

My April Favorites!!! 2013

Hey ya'll!!!

So, had a pretty awesome month, full of business and exciting things that soon should be happening!!! But I found lots of cool stuff along the way, and here they are!!!

Books


Obsidian by LA Knight
Seriously, I haven't read a book this many times and still find myself laughing at the same scene. Normally, familiarity breeds contempt, but not this book!!! Bug LA Knight here on twitter: https://twitter.com/LA_Knight89
to get her to hurry up and get it back to me to finish it!

Movies


Madagascar 2
Ooh, how I love this movie! My sis finally got them to me and I watched all of them in the same week. Number 1's okay, Number 3 had great graphics during the performances, but this one had a heart that most kids movies don't have. I adored it!


Saw this yesterday. Totally love it! Very cute! I love it, though that bunny deserved more than a few smacks.


TV Shows


Love It or List It
This show is really fun to watch, though you can tell all the drama's faked. It's painful at times.


Music


Come and Get It by Selena Gomez
This is my number one song of the month! I'm obsessed with it! And her performing it live at the MTV Movie Awards was AMAZING!!! I loved it!


Me Without You by Sam Tsui
OMG! This song totally embodies LA Knight's Once Upon a Time. LOVE THIS!!!


Guillotine by Yadi
I love this song! Got into thanks to one of my fav vids of the month


Makeup


Maybelline's 24hr Color Tattoo in Bad to the Bronze
I have done two different looks with this, and I absolutely love it! I could never do a smokey eye before, but I've got it down thanks to this!!!
LOVE IT!!!


Clothing



My DIY Studded Shorts
I know I've posted about these before, but I LOVE THEM! They look so cool, they were super cheap to make ($3 pants, $2 studs and some work) and keep me really cool during the super hot spring!


YouTuber


Fleur de Force
Fleur is one of Ingrid's best friends, and she is super pale, like me, and unlike every other beauty guru I follow. She's also super cute and has great advice, regardless of the fact that she's English, and lots of her cheap stuff isn't cheap here, or isn't available here. You really should check her out, if only to listen to her awesome accent!


Videos


This is an experiment by Dove about the way women view themselves. Amazing, and everyone should see this!


I LOVE this vid! Hands down my fav vid of the month! And yes, this is the vid that has Guillotine by Yadi.


Website

I previously mentioned Urbanog.com, but I looked into this website, and it turns out that they treat their customers badly, and do not refund. So if there's a problem (and with my luck, there would be) it's "too bad so sad." So I do not recommend this site.

That was my monthly favs!

What about you guys?

<3

Fair Time!!!

Hey guys!

I don't know if you noticed, but I've been super stressed lately. I felt like I was everyone's monkey without any help for myself - seriously, asking for something like deodorant usually led to tears, since I'm not making any money and we're not doing well - so it really was super nice of LA's mom to buy me a haircut and my sister Megan taking me to fair.

So my Saturday was SUPER AWESOME! And my sis took a ton of photos there (they're pretty bad quality because we don't own a nice camera between us, and she only had her phone, as it was just the two of us, and we couldn't leave our stuff on things like the Zipper).

Here's the photos from that awesome day/night!

 
My new haircut! Big thanks to Mrs. Martyn-Dow!!!
 
 
The Zipper. Only the second time I went on it, and I'm NEVER going again.
Funny Fact: I thought my sunglasses were falling out of my pocket (they weren't) so I yanked them out, right as we went upside down. >< Bad idea. But because I had done it, when Megan's phone went flying, I was able to grab it right as it hit my lap, and hold onto it when we flipped upside down again. :D
Yes, I'm that badass :D
 
 
First and last ride of the night - Cliff Hangers! It's like hang gliding. Totally got me through the jitters so that by the end me and Megan were having fun instead of feeling nauseating, which has happened before. And it was great to wind down with, after all the crazy ride's we'd been on!
 
 
This blurry lit up thingy is G-Force, the other super scary ride of the night. Both Megan and my bother, who rode it last year, almost passed out, it was so intense! It was super short, but it was SO fun and felt like an eternity. I loved it! I would've gone again, but Megan felt so lightheaded after.
 
 
Seriously, this is our FAVORITE ride, EVER! It's called the Krazy Kooster, and it's not very fast, really fun, and doesn't go upside down. Anyone can go on it, and you can take all your stuff without having to shove it in your bra, like we did on Zipper.
 
 
Last of the rides we went on, this is Cyclone. It's like the Tea Cups at Disneyland, except you are actually in the air, and being spun around. Depending on your stamina and strength, depends on how fast you can go. It was so fun, and a great workout for an otherwise relaxing night. I've always like it!
 
 
Onto a ride we wanted to go onto, but couldn't afford the tickets (we really should've gotten wristbands, we would've been able to go on this, and would've spent less than we did!). This is the swings, which is totally fun!
 
 
This is the ride my brother regrets going on, and me and Megan REFUSE to ride. It's called Evolution, and you're in a spinning discus which moves around, and eventually holds you upside down...for, like, 30 secs. It's safe (there are 3 things holding you in place, the typical chest thingy, one across your lap, and a cage that covers your entire body, except your head), but STILL.
NO FRICKING WAY
 
 
Onto stuff we wished we could buy!
This Pikachu is SO HUGE! And super cute!
 
 
Megan LOVED these guys like a LOT. Don't they look like baby Melvin from Madagascar 2???
 
 
Aren't these sock monkeys super cute! I wish they had little ones, because I would've begged Megan to let me win one!!!
 
 
Final pics of the night! Megan in front of the Ferris Wheel, which we didn't go on! Sorry for the horrendous quality. I was mad when I saw how bad this looks!
 
 
And there's me...mostly.
 
That was my evening! Hope ya'll had a great weekend!

My Week in Photos ~4/22 - 4/25~

Hey Guys!

Pretty awesome week, this week! Finished my big edit of Obsidian, so that should be available very soon. Also got a dresser and my studs came in, so I've been DIYing!!!

Here's some pics from this week!

 
New Dresser!!!! Got it from a neighbor for FREE!
Yes, I know the stupid drawers don't match, we're working on fixing that...when we have the mulla to fix it
 
 
 
So these shorts are TOTALLY DIY! They were super cheap pants from a thrift store that I cute and then shredded the edges. Then I used my gold pyramid studs on the back pockets and one of the front pockets, as you can see. I love them! Totally wearing them tonight at the county fair! <3
 
 
This is seriously one of my favorite snacks EVER!
My mom does this recipe where she takes three or four of these, three boxes of sugar-free orange jello and some mandarin oranges and makes this AMAZING orange jello! Oh, it's so good! ^^ But I also love most of the Yoplait light yogurts, especially the desserts!
 
So that's my week! I got a fun weekend planned, what about you???

My Week in Pics ~4/13 - 4/19~

Hey Ya'll!!!

So, I've been busy this week trying to finish Obsidian! It WILL be out before the end of the month, I promise!!!

But I managed to snap some pics while being a busy bee!

 
My new shoes! They're Charlotte Russe Sneaker Wedges! I've been asking for a pair since Christmas, but we didn't have the money, and when we did, they were sold out. The day, literally, the day they showed up on Charlotte Russe.com, I ordered them! My birthday gift from my folks!
 
 
This was a birthday gift to myself! I loved the scent and found one on Amazon for only $9.35. I snatched the last one at that price, but it's still cheaper to order from there than the store. This is one of the most expensive items at Bath and Body Works
 
 
Found these nail polish sets at Ross.  Only $4.99 each!
 
 
And here's the green on! Can you tell it's my fav color???
 
 
Yes, that says what you think it says. :)
 
Well, I hope your week was as fun and productive as mine! And I hope you guys have an awesome weekend!

My Week's Pic! ~4/5 - 4/12~

Hey Ya'll!

So, as you may have heard, I'm working on the final draft of Obsidian!!! YAY! Finally! And when it launches, so will an updated version of Glass! WHOO HOO! *insert stupid crazy happy dance*

What this means is I'm gonna be busy (which is why I didn't know it was Friday, and instead of being happy, was like "WHERE'D THE WEEK GO!?!"), but I managed to snap some pics for you!

Enjoy!
Yes, you're seeing that right. My patches came in! Now I'm waiting on the studs, and must eventually order in a Military Branch Tape and Name Tape, which will mark this as MINE! MWAHAHAHA!
I know you've already seen this outfit that I *love*, but Bethany aka MacBarbie07 wanted to know our fav spring outfits, and this is mine! :) Just need some cute brown flats...
Onto yesterday's Outfit of the Day. You can tell I'm currently living in the country, can't you?
Made a smoothie this morning. Had trouble mixing it together. So I banged the bottom on the counter. Never doing that again.
Well, that was my week in pics! Hope your week was as eventful as mine!
<3
