August Favorites!

SCHOOL IS BACK IN SESSION!

August is already over and that is freaking crazy. 2015 is so close to the end which is insane to me. Anyway, now that another month is over its time for my monthly favorites post!

Favorite Book: This month with school getting back into session i only had time to read one pleasure book and one summer reading book. The summer reading book was good but the other one was better! Mamrie Harts "You Deserve A Drink" deserves a spot in my favorites this month. It was hilarious and i hope she writes another one soon!

Favorite Clothing Article: This month it has been my new school shoes from Target. They are super cute and they were super cheap! Also they are very comfortable and actually fit in with my school policies.

Favorite Movie/Tv Show: This month i havent seen any movies, but the new cycle of Americas Next Top Model started so im obsessed with that right now. My favorite people are Lacey and Neil. My least favorite are Stefano and Hadassah. They stink but im excited to watch the drama and photoshoots.

Favorite Song: "First Time" by Vance Joy has been on replay! My friend anna made me a mixtape and this song is the first song on it and i replay it so much i love it! Plus im seeing taylor swift in September and vance joy is opening so we gotta be prepared for vance joy and all his amazing music! Definitely go listen to his music.

Favorite Event: Honestly, i havent done much this month because of the anticipation of school starting. The best thing or event that happened this month was probably going down to jackson ohio to help my sister coach her JV volleyball team. Ive played volleyball for over 7 years and I love the sport and it was her first year coaching so i came down the first week of practice and for the scrimmages and kept stats and helped them better their passing and over all play of the game. It was super fun and just being with my sister all week was a bonus.

Favorite Random Items: Honestly, even school is a pain, im glad to be back because it keeps me busy for sure! I like having something to do all the time instead of twiddling my thumbs.
Also another favorite is my lilly planner i ordered for school. It keeps me so organized and its super cute and stylish!
And my last favorite is my short film i made this month. I am so very proud of it and heres a link if you havent checked it out yet: CLICK HERE

So thats all for my favs this month! Let me know your favs in the comments!! Much Love xoxo - i dont know

If you are looking for a good laugh you have come to the right place! This book had me NON STOP cracking a smile. It is "You Deserve A Drink" by youtube star Mamrie Hart. She has a show on YouTube actually called you deserve a drink and it's all about honoring someone with a special cocktail. She loves to drink and so in the book every chapter has a cocktail you can make that relates to that specific story. I thought it was super clever and very very cool because it suits her personality so well! Also, each chapter is a random embarrassing story about herself which I admire because some things are REALLT embarrassing that I would never share with my best friend let alone MILLIONS and MILLIONS of readers. She's got Ballz (as she says many times in her novel haha). But seriously if you want a non serious, jokster book go buy this and you will have no regrets.

Mamrie hart is one of the funniest humans to walk to planet. Her videos and Collabs with other youtubers crack me up everytime. In fact one of my favorite videos of all time is of her and Tyler Oakley doing to Edward forty hands challenge. Anyway, back to the book. It's genius. It's different, comical, amazing, and honest. It's a great read for anyone who needs an ego boost haha.

My favorite story she probably told was when her and her friends took a trip to vegas to see Brittany Spears and thye had a terrible car driver. It was quite hilarious. However, i also liked the story when her and her friend met 2 swinger couples that was also a good one to tell. Although, i have favorites each story was a hoot, let me tell ya!

Favorite quotes: "The most i struggled in college was when the Papa John's delivery guy would forget the garlic sauce"

"I can tell you every word to No Doubt's "Just a Girl" even though i havent listened to it in a good six years, but ask me to count to ten in french and it aint happening."

"Sometimes youve got to dig a little deeper to see where a person is coming from."

"We are always growing up. Im growing up as i type this. An eighty-seven-year-old woman is till technically growing up. So be as immature as you want. Right now, you are the youngest you are ever gonna be."

"With the mayhem of everyday life, sometimes its nice to be the only kid awake in the world."

Beauty is overrated

Guys im sobbing. I literally just finished this book. I can not express how depressed i feel after finishing it and closing the cover. I am telling you all right now to go to your local library RIGHT NOW and to get it! It is the book called "I Was Here" by Gayle Forman. Now ive heard of this author before and knew her books were pretty well liked. So when i opened it up and read the first line i ran with the book right to the check out and bought it. I have never been more happy with a decision.

At first i couldnt get into the book, but thats because i had no time to actually sit down and really absorb the book. So finally one night at midnight i sat down and zoomed through half the book and read till around 1 am. I cant explain to you how crazy this book made me. It is very intense and touches on a very sensitive topic. The topic is suicide and it hits very close to the heart. Its not that i have experienced a friend or anyone who has done it, but the depression beforehand is just a sensitive topic to me.

This book is the journey of Meg's friend (the one who committed suicide), Cody who is suspicious about her death and goes on a detective hunt on how to figure out how she really died and the full story behind it. The book can be very very sad and yet very inspirational. Cody was megs best friend and i cant imagine her going through that its very heartbreaking and hits the heart hard.

FAVORITE CHARACTER: Definitely Ben. No mater how much of a jerk he was to Meg before she died and how much of an asshole he was in parts of the book, i couldn't help but feel for him. I honestly relate to him the most. He is so dark and lonely in ways i couldnt explain to you without you reading the book. He is a beautiful character with so much heart and i root for him all the way.

Favorite Quotes: "I know it will cause you pain, and for that i am sorry, but please know that i needed to end my own pain."

"At memorial services, people talk, though what is there to say?"

"....because we slept like hell but also good because the talks were like blood transfusions, moments of realness and hope that were pinpricks of light in the dark fabric of small-town life."

"Used to seems far from where i am now."

"She didnt tell me that she found life to be so unbearably painful. I mean, i didnt even have a clue."

"How can you believe someone to be beautiful and amazing and just about the most magical person youve ever known, when it turns out she was in such pain that she had to drink poison that robbed her cells of oxygen until her heart had no choice but to stop beating?"

"Have a good life. Its not what i meant to say. It sounds too flippant. But maybe its the most you can hope for someone."

"Live fast, die young. Everyone romanticizes that notion, and i hate it. There is absolutely nothing romantic about dying young."

"Theoretically, i learned in physics that the universe is expanding at a rate of, like, forty-five miles a second, but it sure as shit doesnt feel that way when youre standing still."

"What if i escape the pain of this life only to land somewhere worse?"

"Its an act of bravery to feel your feelings, even if your feelings are telling you to die."

"Its funny how once you start pretending, you realize how much everyone else is too."

"....But so much shit has happened in the last year of my life that i am questioning whether i even have a life, or what i thought was my life is actually an illusion, or maybe a delusion. Because it doesnt seem like living to me. It seems like preserving, like thats the most i can hope for. Im not that old, but im already so tired."

"Life seems to be about endurance, not enjoyment, not fulfillment. I dont see the point."

"I found the part of me that was tired of living, and i put her out there."

"A sunless planet, which is what you called yourself, wasnt it? Its already a dead planet. Even if youre still going through the motions."
