Favorites of the Week {3/16}

Sorry this is a day late, I spend last night working on yearbook and didn't want to post this at such a late hour.

These are a few of my favorite things for the week of March 16th:


CHRACHEL COOKS: french ass macarons: Rachel and Chris are adorable and they make things. *sexy hand washing*

Transgender Awareness with Kassie King: I thought this article was very interesting and helpful for clearing up confusion about Transgendered individuals, as well as commenting on the fact that information like this isn't well spread out. We are use to things being black or white, boy or girl, but never being educated that it would be other wise. 

Hating Stuff is Dumb: I'm a high school student, so I am blessed to be surround by my peers, who hate everything. So many of them a negative and it;s really hard not to bitch slap them, to be perfectly honest. Hopefully people watch this video by Emilythebravee and learn that, hating stuff IS dumb.

Cupcakes In A Can: Found this on Tumblr and thought that this looks amazing

 
THAT JUST HAPPENED: Finally, Kassie King uploaded a new video. Very exciting! It's sort of hilarious because I was using the bathroom while I watched this video, which was kind of the point Kassie was making, that she doesn't know what people are doing when we watch her videos. 

StarKid's 'A Very Potter Senior Year':  I've been watching Very Potter Musicals since they came out, so this being the 3rd and last installment of a great series, it's a bit bitter sweet. This is where I saw Darren Criss before he was ever on Glee, so it's been awesome watching his career rocket from starting as Harry Freakin Potter. My texting signature was "I<3 Darren" for a week in middle school. How romantic.

Bad Ass Prostitute/ Pirate: another gem I found on Tumblr. This girl is pretty bad ass. The link is to the Wikipedia page for more information.

My Mad Fat Diary: I've been seeing gifs and posts about this show on my dash for about a month now and I had been meaning to watch it but never got around to it. Well, I knocked out all 6 episodes in one night and left my homework for the next morning. I. Have. No. Regrets. Here is the synopsis: Set in Lincolnshire in 1996, My Mad Fat Diary follows the story of 16 year old, 16 stone Rae, who has just left a psychiatric hospital, where she has spent four months. She begins to reconnect with her best friend, Chloe, who is unaware of Rae's mental health and body image problems, believing she was in Paris for the past four months. Rae attempts to keep this information from her while also trying to impress Chloe's friends Izzy, Archie, Chop and Finn. In some ways, I really can relate to the show and have lovable characters makes it that much better. I've never reacted and became so attached to television show characters, ever. Every time something exciting happened: I stopped breathing or was breathing in reverse. My fangirl was glowing. The show really reminded me that being yourself will draw people in. You don't have to change your appearance or pretend that you don't actually like your interests. Just be yourself. Please go watch this show; it is brilliant. *The link is for the first episode but this is the second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth. These are all on Youtube. Enjoy*

Favorites of the Week {3/8}


These are some of my favorite videos, websites, and just things that I am totally loving this week.

Aaron Tveit interview with Broadway.com: I loved him in Les Mis and he is gorgeous. And like, holy mother of god, he has an apartment in Astoria and if you haven't have read my previous blogs, my last two times I've been in New York, I stayed in Astoria. Not like it's a big deal, it's just my fangirl showing I just love seeing his face and he is a wonderful actor. Ugh. His eyes. His voice. *swoon*

Taylor Swift Parody song: This showed up on my dashboard a couple weeks ago and I still think it's funny. Listen to it a couple times and you start to sing to it. gonE 

Camelbak water bottles: I've had a camelbak for a almost a year until it was stolen (I don't know why anyone would have wanted mine, it looked *ratchet* from me chewing on the holder). But my mom bought me a new, which actually holds more water than the one I had. I love these water bottles because it makes it much easier to drink more water. I highly recommend them.

30 Reminders That The World Isn't Such A Bad Place After All: Buzzfeed is one of my favorite websites to kill time with. This list should make you feel a little better. maybe say "awwwwww" or "lololololol" Eitherway, is should improve your day.

CollegeFashion.net: Hayley G. Hoover mentioned this website in one of her videos a while back. It has become one of my FAVORITE WEBSITES EVER. It's geared more to poor college students but I think it's also amazing for poor high school girls as well. I love how it's a very nerdy sort of fashionable website. They always have outfits inspired by popular culture that is raved over by the internet. They update multiple times a week, so i recommend you follow their twitter and their facebook page to never miss a post. It's basically everything I want my blog to become. I'm in love!

Kick-Ass bookshelves: Another one from Buzzfeed. Being the bookish bitch that I am, I have great appreciation for the many ways one can store books. I have  two bookshelves that I've arranged by color, but visual, it's not enough. My favorites are 4, 7, 8, and 11. This list should surely inspire you other bookish bitches or bookish bros.

 Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins: I re-read this wonderful piece of YA literature this week and I am in love with it as much as I was the first time I read it. It's been a "wanderlust-is-kicking-my-ass-I-want-to-be-in-Paris" kind of week so I needed a dose of a cute French speaking British boy and description of France. I got my fix in and yet I am not fully satisfied. I also recommend Lola and the Boy Next Door by Perkins AND pre-order her new book Isla and the Happily Ever After that comes out on September 17th of this year. You will definitely see a review after I've read it.

Stumbleupon: If you have never used this website, you are not enjoying the internet to its full use. What stumbleupon does is that it takes you to new, different websites based on your interest. It's easy to find new and awesome things that you probably had no idea where on the internet. I've bookmarked so many of the websites it takes me to, just for future references.
Here are some of the websites that have been my favorite:
