Hair, There, Everywhere

♫ Listening to: Train - Save Me, San Francisco (This song would make such a good movie opening song, catch my drift?)

So... last Sunday I went to Target, which is one of my favorite stores. (I'll do another post on favorite stores) I just wanted to share two things that I bought because I think they are really really good. (so far) These are both Herbal Essences hair products, so tune out if you aren't interested:

First up is Herbal Essences Long Term Relationship Leave-In Split End Protector: I really like this product so far. I'm saying so far because I've only used it twice, but I'm surprised by the results. I don't think it does anything for split ends, so I just treat it as a leave in conditioner. I use it after I shower and apply it to wet hair. It makes my hair less frizzy and more straight. I guess the result depends on your hair texture. Even though I have naturally straight hair, it makes my hair more smooth and shiny.

Next is Herbal Essences Drama Clean Shampoo: Let me start of by saying that I used this shampoo with Herbal Essences Pin Straight Conditioner. I like this combination because I don't see the point of having a "drama clean" conditioner.

I enjoy using both these products and I would recommend them, but I probably won't repurchase them because I like to keep my options open and I don't stick to certain products. These are my personal opinions and they may change over time. Hope this helps! =)

Hello World, Are You Listening?

♫ Listening to: One Republic - Come Home

Hey! Last month and this month are going to be really hard. I'm going to Arizona next week and this week I don't have school, so basically I have to make up a ton of work and tests. I'm kind of nervous to go to Arizona because it's a choir trip, and I don't know a lot of people in my choir class. My good friend from choir isn't going on the trip. Yeah... guess I'll just make the best of it.

Yesterday, I went to hang out with some of my friends and we played wii ... for like five hours. Since all of my friends have wii's and I don't, well, let's just say my video game skills are lacking. It was fun though. We played Big Brain Academy and Wii Play. I think that I wouldn't buy a wii because I'm an only child and I don't want to be addicted to video games. I mean, c'mon I already am obsessed with music, my laptop, and television. What more could I need? Haha. Yeah, so overall, I think the wii is best if you have a lot of people over at your house often. So anyways...

Oh, did you know that using "anyways" to start a sentence is not grammatically correct. My 7th grade grammar freak teacher told me this. Also, the word pronunciation is pronounced wrong a lot. It's supposed to be proNUNciation, but people say proNOUNciation. And those are your two interesting facts for the day! Just kidding ...

TGIF! =)

Back!

♫ Listening to: Kate Winslet - What If

It's a new decade! My new year's resolution is to keep my room and bathroom clean. Exciting, huh?

I went to Las Vegas over break and that was super fun! We stayed at Encore and that hotel is soooo beautiful. The hotel rooms are sooo big and stylish. I would definetly go there again!

School starts in two days. :(

Self Portrait:

♫ Listening to: nothing actually

Oh my, I have a C in my math class. I think I am going to die. Expire. Pass Out. NOW. :(

whattodo? whattodo? I'm going to try to get a B. If I get a 100% on the final, I could get an A. But I don't want to go into all the what ifs. I was going to tell funny story, but now I forget. Anyway, I ate lots of peppermint bark toda.y and beef jerky. I was looking forward to a bowl of hot chicken soup at lunch, but apparently my school only has that on random days and they don't tell us these things.

How I feel right now/how I am going to feel the rest of this week: sjdkafjeijaiorjeoiarjaiowejwjfiojaeiofjaidsjfhidohrourpejionvjkcnxkmc.,zxm,cm,.zmkdask!!!!!

Update Ramble

♫ Listening to: Lesley Roy - I'm Going, I'm Gone

This isn't really an update since I blogged yesterday. But yesterday's post was about music and that does not count. Sooooo... Today I woke up at 12 p.m. because I was really tired this entire week. On Friday, we had a school assembly and I had to perform as part of the choir. It was a good experience over all except for the fact that it was raining. Oh and I had a math test with four problems and I missed one of them, which is a C. Oh well I can retake it. :/

On a brighter note, I went to Costco today, which is a warehouse type store that sells well, everything. Last week there was like no food at my house. No yummy snacks, so today my mom and I went to Costco. We got chicken noodle soup and chicken broth and blackberries and pinapple, which I have been craving. You know how sometimes you crave foods? I never crave chocolate or cake, instead, I crave fruit or french fries usually. Weird. We got a lot of other stuff, but I forget what. Oh yeah! We got peppermint bark, which I have NEVER had before. It's yummy! Tomorrow I'm going to a potluck so I'm going to bring some of that for dessert. Right now, I'm pretty tired, but I had a good lunch.

It's almost 2010! We are either going to Las Vegas or LA this holiday season. Last year we went to San Francisco. Really, I would be happy wherever we went because I like every single vacation. Even if we aren't going somewhere I really like, I can always find something fun to do. Go with the flow is like my life motto. Sometimes. Haha.

Semi-Giant Music Post

♫ Listening to: Nutcracker Jingles (a choir song that's REALLY GOOD)

Hey! I wanted to do this post specifically on music because if I wrote about my life, it would overflow this box. ;) So, basically, I listen to a wide variety of music. I have every single genre you can think of, so I'm pretty open minded. I listen to mostly rock/pop/electronic/country music and I listen to other genres as well but not as much. I'm going to make two lists of songs. One of songs that I really love right now at the moment. And another list of songs that I could listen to for the rest of my life, in other words, I LOVE LOVE LOVE these songs!

List of songs I love at the moment: Norah Jones - Chasing Pirates, Kelly Clarkson - Long Shot, Mutemath - Spotlight, Tokio Hotel - Human Connect to Human, Little Boots - Remedy, Song from a secret garden, Adam Lambert - For Your Entertainment, All Lights songs

List of songs I will eternally enjoy: Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody, All Beatles Songs (my favorites being Hello Goodbye, Love Me Do, Here Comes The Sun, Ob-la-di Ob-la-da, The Ballad of John and Yoko, Hey Jude), All Simon & Garfunkel songs (my favorites being A Hazy Shade of Winter, Sound of Silence, I Am A Rock, Homeward Bound), also Martina McBride - Independence Day, Adam Lambert - Mad World, Tokio Hotel - Monsoon, Marissa Nadler - River of Dirt, and lots lots more.

Other Artists I LOVE: La Roux, Owl City, The Veronicas, The Postal Service, Delta Goodrem. Check them out!

If you have any questions comment please. :) Enjoy!

At Lalalalast It's December!

♫ Listening to: Tokio Hotel - Human Connect to Human (I also really like The Dark Side of The Sun, and another song from their first album, Ready Set Go)

Hello! Happy December! I did really bad on my calc midterm and I have a B in AP European History, but on the bright side, we got our Christmas tree in today! Apparently when you buy over $200 at IKEA, they give you a Christmas tree for free, which is quite nice. I haven't seen it yet because I've been upstairs for a while. I redid my room, which is very exciting. And I am NOT the most organized person, but I'm trying extremely hard to control my sloppiness. Redoing my room simplified and cleaned it up. I got a long dresser of sorts and it's short enough so that I can sit on it like a bench. I also got a new nightstand. And we also got our carpet cleaned, so all the furniture in the house was moved to the wood floor and we just started putting all the furniture back yesterday. The first time we got carpet cleaners to clean our carpet, they burned parts of our carpet, so now we have permanent burn marks on the carpet. What a wonderful world.

Thanksgiving

♫ Listening to: Tokio Hotel - Monsoon

Happy Thanksgiving! I found new love for Tokio Hotel today, so I am thankful for that.

I am also thankful for:

• my family
• friends
• myself (it DOES make sense if you think about it)
• mother nature
• the world in general

Now I'm going to go eat more food! =)

Pomegranates

♫ Listening to: Simon & Garfunkel - A Hazy Shade of Winter

There are 760 local varieties of pomegranates! Yum!

We just bought some from Costco and I'm so excited because now I can eat pomegranate whenever I want. Muhahaha. My friend has a pomegranate tree, which I am very jealous of. I would rather eat real pomegranate than drink the juice. What sucks is that the only time pomegranates are really in stock are during the winter. And they are so expensive. But it's worth the deliciousless!

Craving for Books and Music

♫ Listening to: The Carpenters - Sweet Sweet Smile
Two of my favorite groups of singers of ALL TIME are Simon & Garfunkel and The Carpenters. I love every single one of their songs! There's not a lot artists where I like all of their songs. Probably The Veronicas is one of them and The Beatles and Lights. Simon & Garfunkel have such a unique vibe and it makes you nostalgic and their lyrics are amazing. I can listen to their songs everywhere and anytime. On the other hand, Karen Carpenter (The Carpenters) has a gorgeous voice. They have some sad ballads and some more cheerful upbeat songs as well. Lalalalalalala. Anyways....

Have you ever been addicted to a book series? I have this very awkward situation at hand. I really like a lot of series like Gilda Joyce (I can quote those books from memory!) , but they're in the children's section and it's kinda awkward when I'm a teenager and I walk around among people half my age and size. Am I supposed to grow up and not read these books anymore? These books are like dear friends to me and I would like to keep reading them, but they aren't the thought-provoking books that most adults or teachers would prefer I read. Reading is more of a relaxing thing for me, when I read I want to be having a good time. I don't want my thoughts to be provoked. Those are snooze books for me.
