Everything is Looking Up

By now, I'm sure everyone has heard the song Best Day of my Life played once or twice or a hundred times on the radio. Well the band behind the song, for those of you don't know, is called American Authors, and I've been lucky enough to see them perform live, twice! The first time was at Spring Fling in Tucson, and the second time was here in Chicago at Ravinia while they were on tour with The Script and One Republic. They all put on a great concert at Ravinia, and it was so much fun. If you haven't listened to the rest of their album I highly recommend it (some favorite songs of mine include Believer, Think About It, and Oh, What A Life). 

A concert isn't complete without buying band merchandise and when I saw this shirt, I knew I had to buy it. Not only that but later on after the One Republic show I went back and bought a shirt from them too. :) I just love the bold lyrics on this shirt with a secret message to make every day the best day of your life. 

"This is going to be, this is going to be, this is going to be..."













What summer concerts do you guys have lined up?

End of a Saga

Image
On June 28th, 2015, I started a fantasy series called The Mortal Instruments. Little did I know that 2 years and one month later, I would finally finish that 6 book saga. Dedication at its finest. Now, this was obviously drawn out because I'm not a super consistent reader throughout all 12 months of the year. While I was in school, I only ever read during the summer and over winter breaks. Nonetheless, I finished and now I can move on the my next series ... GAME OF THRONES. If The Mortal Instruments took me two years to complete than I anticipate I'll finish GOT in about...10 years. Not too bad right? Anyway, if you love fantasy (Young Adult fantasy in particular) I recommend you give at least the first book a try. What else do you have to lose? I'm not a professional book reviewer but I can tell you it combines action, humor, a lil young adult romance, and present day issues all in one werewolf/fairy/vampire/shadowhunter world. Doesn't that get you hooked?...

San Diego Vibes

Image
For my last one week Spring Break vacation ever , my family and I traveled to San Diego, California. I've been to San Diego before when I had short, curly/frizzy hair, and better yet, braces...Take a second, imagine that image for your own pleasure, and then throw it away forever. You done? Ok good, let's move on.This time around I was a 21 year old college student, and wayyyy hotter so I had a lot more fun :). Two times around makes me feel like I've seen all of San Diego (JK not really, I'm buying a condo when I become a millionaire).  Since I have already witnessed the hilly fortress that is the San Diego Zoo, I had no interest to go again this Spring Break. Instead, my Mom and I ended up right across the street in Balboa Park! The land of museums and gorgeous architecture. It was like walking into a world that fused Morocco, Germany, Hawaii, and Greece into the same space. Incredible. I dressed up this particular day in a fun wid...

Easter in the Desert

Happy Easter everyone! Here's a little piece to get you wondering on this glorious Sunday.  "You have thought about what the world thinks for so long that you could hardly recognize yourself anymore. Imagine being born to fly but being placed in a cage where you could barely stretch your wings. You could still be so many things and there is so much more of you to be found. So fly, fly away and never return to a world that makes you feel like you do not know who you are." -R.M. Drake May your days be filled with wonder. -Addison-
