We're Just Like You Man.....?<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: inherit;">I am honestly so frustrated.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 22px; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext";"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: inherit;">This isn't the post I wanted to be posting. I WANT to be posting about the end of the I Like It When You Sleep era and what it's meant to me. I WANT to be posting about how incredible the Madison Square Garden show was. But alas... here we are.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 22px; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext";"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: inherit;">Let me recap.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 22px; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext";"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: inherit;">So four days ago now, The 1975 were in Glasgow about to play the TRNSMT Festival. Hann was doing and Instagram livestream of Matty rapping along to "Caroline" by Aminé. The lyrics feature the line "Killer. West side Ni**a"... we'll needless to say, Matthew mouthed the entire line and the entire fanbase seemingly went up in flames.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 22px; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext";"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: inherit;">*deep, loud sigh*</span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 22px; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext";"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: inherit;">I'm not even sure where to start. Am I extremely disappointed? Oh absolutely. Am I surprised? At this point, not really. Matty is messy and I'm past pretending that he's not. But truthfully this post isn't even about his usage of the word. What is it about? Well first, it's about the fact that it's been four days and Matthew has not shown his face... so to speak. On top of that, Jamie (their manager) hasn't addressed the issue but instead he's liked tweets defending Matty and has been blocking people wanting an apology or trying to explain why his actions are hurtful and problematic. How is that okay? How is that even REMOTELY professional?? </span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 22px; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext";"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: inherit;">Do I think Matty is racist? No. I truly don't. That's not what I'm getting at,at all. He is however very ignorant about certain things and doesn't think before he speaks/acts. He thinks that he can spout whatever nonsense pops into his mind and people just have to deal with it. He's 28. That's not cute . I don't think that he was intentionally offensive and I would be comfortable leaving it there if this were the first offensive thing he's done THIS YEAR (let's not forget him defending an Islamophobe). IT'S JULY . I could leave it there if he ever honestly owned up to his mistakes and didn't just say what he needs to to placate his fans. </span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 22px; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext";"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: inherit;">The absolutely SICKENING part is that the longer they stay silent the more his fans will think that this is okay behavior. When people were accusing Matty of being mysoginistic regarding his comments about dating Taylor Swift, he was quick to type up an incredibly long winded post explaining his intentions and defending himself. But here we have something truly offensive and.... nada.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 22px; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext";"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: inherit;">It's really not that difficult. "I'm really sorry. I f***ed up, I know. I got caught up in the song. I will do better." That's literally all he had to say. Once again, he is TWENTY EIGHT! </span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 22px; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext";"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: inherit;">There are so many fans defending his actions. "He was enjoying himself." "The video was cute" "He didn't know he was being filmed" Yeah. The rest of the video was cute. I love seeing Matty happy as much as the next fan. As far as him not knowing he was on the livestream... that doesn't matter at all. If he is comfortable to say it in private, then that in and of itself is a problem. "In what context did he use the word?" Once again, doesn't matter. He shouldn't use it in ANY context. </span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 22px; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext";"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: inherit;">There are fans harassing other fans that are rightfully hurt and feel ostracized. They are freely throwing around slurs and thinking it's okay. It's NOT. This word is NOT JUST A WORD. Whether or not black people use it. Reclaiming that word is not for YOU to be able to use. It's taking back a word meant to dehumanize us. A word rooted in pain and hatred a word that will always feel like an attack when uttered by ANYONE that isn't black. Period. Point blank. End of discussion.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 22px; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext";"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: inherit;">I really need people to understand that they cannot tell a community that they are NOT a part of, what is and isn't offensive to said community. Nor can they tell them how to react to offensive actions. I bet my last dollar that if M had used the F word, everyone would have grabbed their pitchforks and flown to wherever he was... rightfully so. So why is that word not acceptable but the N word is "just a word?" Instead of belittling Minorities' experiences, LISTEN TO US!</span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 22px; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext";"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: inherit;">Matty and Jamie's silence is VIOLENT! Matty's dismissal of responsibility and seeming indifference is dangerous. This man has a platform that he's not using. A voice that he's NOT USING. The 1975 can't claim to be this all inclusive, compassionate, liberal, "fan's band" and not actually fight for the minorities that support them,love them, and look up to them. That's an abuse of trust and power. I can't respect someone that is not willing to hear, and then hopefully grow . Do you know how much that hurts? Especially when I have this band, That has meant so much to me for he past 4 years' symbol etched into my skin for the rest of my life. But honestly, if you don't care about us, why should we care about you? </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue light" , , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;">Saturday was EXACTLY what I needed! </span>When I started my post the other day, what I was lacking was HOPE. Hope in humanity, hope for the future of our country. Like I said in that <a href="http://dancinginthestagelights.blogspot.com/2017/01/january-19-2017-im-little-scared.html" target="_blank">post</a>, I was scared. I was still shaken and preparing to fall deeper into a pit of darkness. I woke up Friday morning and (unwillingly) watched the Inauguration. I watched Barack and Michelle get on that helicopter and I SOBBED. I sobbed until I thought I was going to vomit as the reality of our situation settled over me. I cried until I was empty and then I filled that numb space with FIRE! </div>

SO... Around 8:30 that night, Claire picked me up and we started the trip down to DC to meet up With Emily and Matty who were already there. We spent a lot of time in traffic but the amount of cars driving down was IMPRESSIVE!</div>

Waking up in DC was weird. Going down to breakfast was even weirder and quite uncomfortable. The first things I noticed when we walked into the dining area were the MAGA hats and that majority of this small room were trump supporters. I went about my business... fueling up by piling the microwave bacon and cheesy eggs onto my plate... preparing my coffee that was accidentally half decaf and pretending that I couldn't feel the tension in the room. Pretending that I couldn't see the sideways glances directed towards the group of weirdos , or is the term "snowflakes" in the corner. I mean we had Feminist Thor for crying out loud! I think my mom would be proud of the manners I demonstrated. I was able to breathe a bit easier when an older woman approached our table and asked if she could take our picture and then thanked us for marching. I was starting to wake up and get hyped up. That excitement only intensified when we started getting close and had to get out of our Lyft on the side of the highway to get over to the street because there was no other way to get to the rally!</div>

The rally was already under way when we finally got there. I will be the first to say that it went on a bit too long but I understand that part of that was to do with the fact that the organizers had to accommodate the crowd that turned up! There was such a buzz in the air. The unity and solidarity was so strong that it was almost palpable! Just standing in that crowd... in that SEA of BEAUTIFUL people had me fighting back tears! (not to mention listening to Gloria and Angela... holy crap!) I knew what we were doing was right simply because of the fact that at NO POINT was I anxious or panicky. Even in the middle of that many people. We were ONE people! WE were America!!! Regardless of gender, race, religion, sexual orientation, age. Those people gathered on Independence Avenue....ARE WHAT MAKE AMERICA GREAT. You could feel the love, and acceptance in the air. You could feel the DETERMINATION! We were a sea of voices creating ONE voice that will NOT be silenced!! </div>

Then we finally started to move like an army on a mission. A mission of equality for ALL! For me the most powerful moment was the sea of signs marching past the Washington Memorial. All of the landmarks commemorating the "freedom" of this country. I was personally a little overwhelmed by the historical significance of the moment and the fact that I was literally walking in the footsteps of the generation before. The leaders and game changers that came before me. Above that, some of the people marching at that very moment were living this for a second time...They weren't standing on their first Civil Rights crossroad! WOW. That fact is both inspiring and depressing if I'm honest.</div>

Reaching the White House felt like a VICTORY! Everyone was riding this high of having made history! The chants and cheers were like a war cry... the most joyful war cry there is lol.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was a celebration . trump most likely wan't even in the White House but wherever he was, HE HEARD US! It's honestly incredible how in a span of 24 hours I could go from feeling so low and defeated to feeling like we won. Even if it's just a little. We were heard!</div>

Like I said earlier, this was exactly what I needed. My faith in humanity has been restored. THAT was my country that I marched with! I felt so empowered, safe and unified! I have NEVER been so proud to have been a part of something IN MY LIFE! One day I will tell my children about this chapter in history... I hope they're proud too! I am a PROUD, FIRED UP, NASTY WOMAN!</div>

So you may be thinking "What now?" Because this march certainly isn't the end of it. It was only the beginning! Now is the time that we rally together with our friends, family, and community and make sure that we are heard. Now is the time to be as loud as possible. In every way possible. This extends past a march.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The next step is what WomensMarch.com is calling "<a href="https://www.womensmarch.com/" target="_blank">10 actions for the first 100 days</a>" Every 10 days for the first 100 days of this new administration, we will be taking action. So even if you didn't march, you can still make your voice heard. Action 1. is sending postcards to our state senators about the specific issues weighing on our heart. The issues we will continue to fight for.</div>

Also do your research. There are plenty of organizations that need your support. Organizations working to help and defend the people currently under attack in this country. Here are just a few.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<ul>
<li>Planned Parenthood: <a href="https://www.istandwithpp.org/">https://www.istandwithpp.org</a></li>

<li>Stand With Standing Rock: <a href="http://standwithstandingrock.net/donate/">http://standwithstandingrock.net/donate/</a></li>
</ul>
<div>
After a campaign and election (and now what looks like an entire presidency) built on and fueled by hate we must remain a light! We must remain unified. We must stay FIRED UP and committed! WE are the PEOPLE and we can't let him divide us! THIS IS WHAT DEMOCRACY LOOKS LIKE!</div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">wow....okay...</span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; min-height: 14px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">It is currently 9:49 pm on January 19, 2017. Meaning that we are in the last 2hours and 10 minutes of Barack Obama's presidency. I have been sitting here trying to contain my tears for the longest time. I mean, I always knew this day was going to come but.... I never could have anticipated the reality that I will be waking up to tomorrow. </span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; min-height: 14px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">It has been almost 3 months and I still don't understand. I still feel like my legs have been kicked from underneath me. I would be lying if I said that I wasn't currently fighting off a full fledged anxiety attack. My chest is clenched, I can't seem to catch my breath and I feel so dizzy that if I wasn't seated, i'd surely fall over.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; min-height: 14px; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: inherit;">I have apparently lived through 4 presidencies. That's weird. However, I feel like I grew up in the Obama presidency. In a way, I suppose I did. I had just turned 18, I had done the college thing for a bit, and I was stoked to be voting in my first election but I knew practically NOTHING about politics. The little that I knew came from my 12th grade Problems Of Democracy class. Paying attention to the candidates, the debates, and everything surrounding the election was MANDATORY for graduation. That being said, I only paid enough attention to know that Obama seemed like a cool guy. I liked what he stood for and I thought it would be cool to be a part of such a historical election. I remember election night. That feeling of "wow I was a part of that. This means something". I remember Inauguration Day, crying with my family. LIVING for Beyonce (nothing new)...I knew nothing. I've learned so much in the last 8 years. I haven't always agreed with this administration but I have watched in AWE as this man lead with class, eloquence and grace. As he demonstrated empathy and kindness in the face of constant opposition, negativity, disrespect and outright bigotry. He and his family have been shining examples of what it is to be good and my heart breaks over the fact that come tomorrow, that light will no longer be the head of this country. But I am SO THANKFUL that this is the man that lead me into adulthood.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">I'll admit it... I'm scared. I'm scared of January 21st. I'm scared of waking up and living in a trump America. I'm scared and I'm angry. BUT in the 3 almost months that I've had to try and come to terms with this dark reality, I've made a decision. ...I say this as if I hadn't made this decision a long time ago... I guess I should say, I've been catapulted into action. I'm scared but I will not be held down or silenced. As much as the people that put this man into office would like me to, as much as my anxiety would like me to,I won't! I will take that fear and anger and channel it into productivity. I will use it to as fuel and will make my voice heard. I will scream until my lungs give out! We will NOT go back! We CAN'T. How sick is it that people are terrified to simply EXSIST?!?! That hatred and bigotry... misogyny, sexual assault, homophobia, Islamophobia, xenophobia is not only normalized but praised!!!! I can't sit by and watch that happen. Not as a POC, a woman, an ally, a HUMAN! One of my new year's resolutions was to do more that actually matters. Well, for the next 4 years I want to do just that! I want to actively work/fight towards a better America. Starting on the first day of Donald's ...................... presidency (that's still really hard for me to say.) On Saturday I will be in DC at the Women's March with two of my friends and about 20,000 other like minded individuals. We will NOT TOLERATE hatred in any form! We WILL KEEP GOING FORWARD!</span></div>

This year started off huge and has continued to be one of change and self improvement. I wanted to take this milestone year and make it one filled with adventures and things I could treasure and be proud of. But of course to do that I would have to get through everything that was holding me back... I would have to get through<i> myself</i>. Before my birthday I started tackling my anxiety and looking back at the person I was then compared to now is insane! There is still SO much that I am working through but I'm proud to even be working.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was then, because of this fact, able to survive the major plans that I had for my birthday. I was able to cross off a few bucket list items when I rang in my bday with Bey herself! I like to say that we celebrated our birthdays together. Despite the heat and the terrifying crowds, it was honestly one of the best days of my life and hands down my best birthday yet!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This year I worked not only on my mental health but my physical health as well! We joined the gym... for real this time as I have actually made an effort to go and do more than a 45 minute "work out" On top of that, I stopped eating meat. That was more of a moral choice than a health choice though. I will be completely honest and say that it hasn't been the easiest and I still have cheat days but I am very much committed to this lifestyle... i'll get over the cravings... and I feel not only healthier but happier as well. (I also have visible cheek bones and have gone down a few pant sizes which is nice)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In November, I started writing my first novel. I have been starting projects basically since learning how to write and form sentences. This is the first time that completion is in sight. There is still a lot to fill in but I am so attached to the story, I am SO IN LOVE with the characters and I won't rest until they can be shared with more people than me and Talisha.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The last 12 months have been filled with a lot of stress and searching for understanding and I'm still working on not internalizing everything. I'm still working on the whole faith thing.</div>

Looking 26 in the face, I'll admit, I'm a little intimidated...terrified is more like it. There are a lot of things I have on my "Big Girl" to-do list. Like always I hope the next twelve months are filled with adventures, Great people, lessons learned, and stories to be told for a lifetime!<br />
<br />
Here's hoping.</div>

If you had shown me a bold, blue lipstick a year ago, I would have said "That's really pretty but I could never pull that off."... yet here I am at the end of Summer 2016 completely OBSESSED with blue lippies! I still can't believe how frequently I am grabbing for one and tossing it in my purse. The three I am currently using are the <a href="http://www.ulta.com/liquid-suede-cream-lipstick?productId=xlsImpprod12911001#" target="_blank">NYX Liquid Suede</a> in Stone Fox, The <a href="https://colourpop.com/products/petit-four" target="_blank">Colourpop Ultra Matte</a> in Petit Four, and the <a href="http://www.ulta.com/color-sensational-loaded-bolds-lip-color?productId=xlsImpprod14251015#" target="_blank">Maybelline Loaded Bolds</a> in Midnight Blue (shhh).</div>

It all started with a lipstick that I don't even OWN! When Halsey teamed up with Mac for the Future Forward campaign and released "<a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BBael_vnOJB/?taken-by=iamhalsey" target="_blank">Halsey</a>" a gorgeous blue-grey shade my heart went a little wonky! I thought is was gorgeous and just...COOL! But alas, my moral compass kicked in and I couldn't bring myself to buy a MAC product (yes, I know what you're thinking... I'll get into that.). So I went on a massive hunt to find something similar and reasonably priced. Little did I know that I would be sucked into this blue tinted whirlwind.</div>

When "Halsey" launched everyone went on an on about how "Stone Fox" by NYX was an exact, cruelty free dupe. Being that I LOVE NYX I was quick to jump on this and ran as fast as I could to Ulta to pick it up and give it a go. I think it's needless to say that this is in fact NOT a dupe. It is too dark and WAY too blue. I'll admit that I was disappointed about that but I quickly got over it... when I put it on and stopped looking at it as a dupe but as it's own color. I INSTANTLY fell in love. It is more blue than gray and sooo pigmented. The Liquid Suede formula is so lovely. It isn't too heavy and isn't too drying. It dries down quickly to a velvety matte, doesn't transfer and it lasts for ages.</div>

It should come as no surprise that there is a Colourpop product included in this. I have expressed my love for the brand MANY times! The pigmentation is beautiful and these babies DON'T BUDGE! Because it is an ultra matte, I suggest making sure your lips are thoroughly hydrated before applying because the ultra mattes are very drying. Petit Four is definitely a step closer to Halsey than Stone Fox so I think this is as close to a dupe as I'm going to get. Where Stone Fox is more blue, this one is definitely more of a slate gray with a tinge of blue. It is a bit more intimidating personally... it's a bit more edgy than even I would usually go for but apparently I've put my brave pants on because I'm so heart eye emoji!</div>

Okay, so this last one is a little tough and touchy for me to talk about and admit to. It's a Maybelline product... sigh... Maybelline is not cruelty free...tear. But this was a gift and I am not rude nor am I wasteful. I'm going to be really honest, I'm having such a hard time building a COMPLETELY cruelty free makeup collection... mainly because Maybelline is my FAVORITE drugstore brand. That being said, when they launched the Loaded Bolds, I could physically feel the ripping in my heart. Like I said, this was a gift... a gift that I am (sorry to say... but I'm being real) VERY thankful for. It doesn't go on as opaque as the others (it takes a bit of building) and it isn't fully matte (more of a satin finish) but boy oh boy... when it DOES go on.... It is SUCH a pretty, deep, jewel toned blue. It's so creamy and still moisturizing. It also doesn't need to be reapplied too frequently. I need to find some self control :(</div>

Hiya!<br />
<br />
So, I've been meaning to make this post for ages... sorry about that. This summer has really been about sprucing up my wardrobe and putting a tad more effort into my outfits. With summer coming to a close, I figured that I would share some of my favorite pieces. Most of these were purchased from Boohoo.com and were featured in my last<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k8-kefJAd94" target="_blank"> haul video</a>. What I really love is that most if not all of these pieces can be incorporated into some cute fall outfits. I seriously can't wait for the fall. I am so ready for chunky sweaters, and beanies!<br />

So, I'm really trying to get myself to wear dresses more often. It's usually either church or a concert. That's it. It's not that I don't like dresses... I just feel really overdressed and a lot of the time, self conscious in them. Anywho, I saw the <a href="http://www.boohoo.com/usa/plus-size+curve-dresses/plus-mel-cold-shoulder-strappy-swing-dress/invt/pzz95563" target="_blank">Mel Cold Shoulder Strappy Swing Dress</a> and I couldn't pass them up. I am very obsessed with the cutout shoulder detail so I ordered one in Blush and one in Olive! My favorite part, which you can see if you look hard enough, are the <a href="http://www.boohoo.com/usa/flats/molly-block-heel-glitter-jelly-sandal/invt/azz05374" target="_blank">Jelly sandals</a><span id="goog_1153878681"></span><span id="goog_1153878682"></span><a href="https://www.blogger.com/"></a>.

I believe one of my first posts featured Jawbreaking. Surprisingly I haven't ordered from them since... don't ask me why. I'm always on the website and lurking Aly's instagram. Anywho since first being introduced to the brand I have wanted... no... NEEDED this <a href="http://www.shopjawbreaking.com/collections/tees/products/boy-bands-ruined-my-life-t-shirt-1" target="_blank">"Band Boys=Trouble" t-shir</a>t. I mean C'MON!! If anyone knows that to be true, it's moi! Well you can imagine how lost and heartbroken I was when it was discontinued. You can also imagine how STOKED I was when the birthday sale rolled around and I found this bad boy on the website. There was NO WAY I was passing it up again. I became a little obsessed with the idea of tying it up 90s crop style and pairing it with a maxi skirt. I found the perfect one <a href="http://www.shopjawbreaking.com/collections/tees/products/boy-bands-ruined-my-life-t-shirt-1" target="_blank">(Rae Pocket Front Maxi)</a> back over on boohoo...IT HAS POCKETS!</div>

This <a href="http://www.boohoo.com/usa/plus-size+curve-tops/plus-lisa-sun-+-moon-oversized-tee/invt/pzz95420" target="_blank">Sun and Moon Oversized Tee</a> had been sitting in my cart for a while. I just love how it looks so casual and comfy but also just really cool. I'm all about items that I can dress up or dress down. The best part about this shirt is how SOFT it is. I just want to sit and rub my face over it like a cat!</div>

I'm clearly very into open shoulders at the moment. This <a href="http://www.boohoo.com/usa/plus-size+curve-playsuits-and-jumpsuits/plus-emily-open-shoulder-jumpsuit/invt/pzz95478" target="_blank">open shoulder jumpsuit</a> is another that can easily be dressed up or down. I think it would look so cool with a faux leather jacket and some silver, edgy accessories. But I also love how it looks with the ankles rolled up, a pair of boots, and a flannel wrapped around the waist. I'm already planning to wear it to at least ONE concert this fall/winter!</div>

Last but certainly not least, the ensemble I am MOST obsessed with at the moment! We all know that I have been in love with this <a href="http://www.target.com/p/women-s-halter-neck-skater-dress-mossimo-supply-co-junior-s/-/A-50891574" target="_blank">Striped Halter</a> dress since purchasing it back in May for the 1975's spring tour. It's honestly so comfy and simple and I find myself gravitating towards stripes more than ever now. I find myself grabbing this before anything else in my wardrobe the summer.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was instantly drawn to this <a href="http://www.boohoo.com/new-in/plus-carey-embroidered-shirt-dress/invt/pzz94133" target="_blank">embroidered shirt dress</a> because it reminds me so much of 2014 Matty Healy. "Robbers Shirt " era Matty. I'm not too into prints on me but something about the sheer floral appealed to me. I was headed out when it arrived from Boohoo and I just tried it on over the striped dress just to see how it fit. I was so shocked when I saw how nice they looked paired together. I was expecting clash but instead I fell in love. Then to add to the love I already had, I popped on these <a href="http://www.boohoo.com/usa/shoes/tia-fringe-plait-shape-boot/invt/dzz75133" target="_blank">fringed boots</a>. I'm obsessed with fringe and am currently on the search for the perfect fringed jacket. This has fast become my favorite outfit!</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Dearest Colourpop, WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN ALL MY LIFE?!?!!? I am so sorry it has taken this long to acknowledge your existence but, I love you and I want you in my life forever!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I think it's fairly obvious that I have fallen into a complete, obsessive love with Colourpop. As usual, I'm late to the game but, in the immortal words of Queen Clarisse Renaldi "A Queen is never late. Everyone else is simply early."</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I mean OF COURSE I'd heard of the brand. All of the beauty gurus are OBSESSED but I guess... I... I don't know, I can't think up an excuse. Anywho, this all started when I was looking for the perfect dark brown liquid lippie for the The 1975 concert in May. I was between Dose of Colors' Chocolate Wasted ($18) and Too Faced's new Melted Matte in Naughty By Nature ($21) when Becca swooped in and saved my life. She told me that I should consider Limbo by Colourpop ($6), sent me a photo of her wearing it and I NEVER LOOKED BACK! I ordered Limbo, Kapow, and Petit Four (which is almost a dupe for Halsey's lipstick with MAC but that's a tale for another day.)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Which brings me to the present. When I watched <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wQ9lGYYE4Hw" target="_blank">Kathleen Lights</a> review the newly launched MatteX lippie stix, I knew right then and there, I needed them in my life! So during the birthday promotion I ordered my first one, "Back Up" . Then very shortly afterwards, I ordered six more... Three for me and three "for my mother."</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
First I need to talk about the free eyeshadow that came with my purchase! Since I ordered during the Colourpop birthday promotion, I also received a limited edition eyeshadow called "Birthday Boy"</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I. Am. SO IN LOVE! First of all, the formula is GORGEOUS. This is the softest, creamiest, fluffiest product I've EVER put on my skin!! And THE COLOR!! A beautiful champagne-y gold with purple shimmer throughout! I wish this wasn't a limited edition product because now i'm afraid to actually use it even though it is ALL that I want on my eyes at the moment!</div>

Now... on to the lippies!<br />
<br />
Like I said, the first one I ordered was "Back Up" which is a bright plum. It is a bit out of my comfort zone but I do think it's a perfect bright for summer. "Cami" is a really pretty, neutral, mauve-y pink. I think it's my favorite of the lot. It's an amazing everyday shade especially now that it's summer. You don't want to do too much. At the moment I'm REALLY into brown lips. Dark browns and more grungy browns. "Pillow Talk" (no I didn't just buy it because of the song) is definitely a 90s grunge greige. I'm not always sure if I can pull it off but I feel really cool when I wear it. Then there's "Hollywood Blvd" which is on the darker end of the spectrum. It is a warmer brown than "Limbo" with a yellow undertone and I'm low-key obsessed! "For my mother"... I quote because, let's be real, they're for ME... we ordered some reds. The first one being "Love Life" which is a gorgeous brick red that screams "PAIR ME WITH A LEATHER JACKET"! "Bootie" is a bright orange red that is a bit intimidating but great for summer. As is "Jenneration X" a red orange (yes there is a difference) which is a collab with Jenn Im or <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/clothesencounters" target="_blank">ClothesEncounters</a> on the Tube. I've been watching her videos for a while and I think she did a great job with these products.</div>

I am so impressed with these lippie stix! I mean, I didn't expect otherwise but still. The pigmentation is BEAUTIFUL! They go on smoothly and fully with one swipe! The product sits nicely on the lips, they're not too thick. They are INCREDIBLY MATTE but because they are made with Vitamin E as well as Shea and Avacado butters, they are not AT ALL drying or cracking! These babies are a lipstick lover's DREAM!!!</div>

The thing I will never get over with Colourpop is how high quality their products are for a price that won't leave me in a puddle of broke girl tears on the ground. Each lippie stix is $5. If you are like me and avoiding the bandwagon, it is time to JUMP ON my friends! Colourpop is EVERYTHING!</div>

<br />
I think I'm only making this post because I need to get it all out....<br />
<br />
When I left my house Friday evening I was excited. I was going to spend my weekend crafting, filming and babbling about Matty Healy (and Brendon Urie). There's no way that I could have anticipated the news that flooded our timelines. I'm still having trouble believing it to be honest.<br />
<br />
I never met Christina Grimmie but I always thought that she was lovely and crazy talented. I remember watching her videos on youtube and then rooting for her on The Voice.... 22.... She was 22. JUST 22. I'm having a really hard time understanding. We get hassled about bringing outside food and water into a venue but yet this guy was able to sneak in not one, but TWO guns. HOW DOES THAT HAPPEN?!?! How does something like that slip through thus giving him an opportunity to end a life, break a family, scar SO MANY PEOPLE ???<br />
<br />
I don't know how to process... this whole situation hits a little too close to home for me. Concerts have always been a safe have, a sanctuary for me and my friends. That now has been taken away. I've never seen Christina live but I've seen Before You Exit quite a few times.... This is the scene in which I exist. They have toured with every small band that I love. Which get you thinking that this could have happened ANYWHERE! Yet this is also the LAST place that you would expect it to happen. These shows are usually filled with so much love, acceptance and unity. Christina greeted this man with outstretched arms!! Last month, Becca and I were complaining about how dangerous the crowd was at The 1975 show and here we are.... something 1000 times worse has happened within our safety net. I can't even IMAGINE how the fans that witnessed this are coping! Just the THOUGHT of witnessing someone that I love and admire taken from this world, BREAKS ME! My heart and prayers are with with every single person that was at that show.<br />
<br />
I can't even begin to express how awful I feel for Before You Exit. Their FRIEND was MURDERED at THEIR show in their hometown. They risked their lives to go back inside to warn the fans. I applaud them. That changes a person. They must also be so afraid. This happened once, could it happen again? I pray that they are able to heal.<br />
<br />
My heart BREAKS for her family! Her brother! How does someone get through something like this. ESPECIALLY having witnessed it. I pray for their strength. I pray that they are consistently surrounded by love and support .<br />
<br />
Music is supposed to heal.<br />
<br />
I come home this morning (Sunday), excited for The Tonys to find out about the MASSACRE in Orlando. I... I honestly don't understand. I don't understand how people can be SO FILLED WITH HATE AND IGNORANCE! I'm honestly still trying to process. I don't understand my country. I don't understand humanity. This world is a scary place. The fact that you can be slaughtered for simply EXISTING... not agreeing with or understanding someone's lifestyle does not give anyone the right to take a life. Just because for some bizarre reason we in this country have the right to bear arms... YOU DO NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO TAKE ANOTHER LIFE!!<br />
<br />
It's heartbreaking that because of some extremist, MONSTER ignorants everywhere will have another reason to attack Muslims... like there are not extremist groups of EVERY religion. I'm not Muslim but I've known many and from what I've learned, Islam is a religion of PEACE. But people try to DESTROY what they do not understand. They aren't WILLING to understand! I guess that can be said for this entire situation. LGBTQ+ people are DESTROYED because people don't understand. Apparently the answer is hate. People hide behind religion as an excuse to spread hate and intolerance and it makes me sick.<br />
<br />
As a Christian I don't understand how people can hurt others in the name of God. WHAT GOD?!? My God is a God of Love. Whatever you believe, the root is LOVE. We are not here to judge others but to Love as Jesus Loves. While he was on Earth He gave His Love to ALL. PERIOD!<br />
<br />
I don't know... I just don't know.<br />
<br />
I send so much love to the survivors of this tragedy as well as the family and friends of the souls lost.<br />
<br />
To my LGBTQ+ friends, family, acquaintances ... I LOVE YOU SO MUCH AND MY HEART IS WITH YOU.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">"We live through times when hate and fear seem stronger</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">We rise and fall and light from dying embers<br />Remembrances that hope and love lasts long<br />And love is love is love is love is love is love is love is love is love<br />Cannot be killed or swept aside" - Lin-Manuel Miranda 6/12/2016</span><br />
<br />
I am heartbroken, scared, sick, and EXHAUSTED! It's PAST time for change.<br />
<br />
xoxo,<br />

The album opens with a revamped version of <b>The 1975</b> which is the same song that the debut album opened with. It's like they're saying, *insert Adele voice here* "Hello it's me. I was wondering if after all these years you'd like to meet..." Not gonna lie, when the vocals came in, I was INSTANTLY in tears! The layering of Matty's vocals and the airy, ethereal-ness is SO overwhelmingly beautiful... it's like listening to the air.</div>

Going into this, I was already quite familiar with<b> Love Me</b>, <b>Ugh!</b>, and <b>A Change Of Heart. </b>Love Me and Ugh! were the first two songs released and I first heard A Change Of Heart in <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WJj4cATHGRI" target="_blank">December</a>. Love Me and Ugh! are a perfect blend of funky, grooving tunes and honest lyrics about our weird narcissistic, celebrity/selfie culture and how they're dealing with their new place in it , as well as Matthew's relationship with cocaine. Love Me is 100%, without a doubt a nod to Bowie's fame and that makes me love it even more. I'm particularly fond of A Change Of Heart because of it's nods to songs from the debut album. "<i>You used to have a face straight our of a magazine. Now you just look like anyone...</i>" Robbers is my favorite song so that line always makes me all warm fuzzy on the inside. "<i>I never found love in the city. I just sat in self pity and cried in my car</i>." is of course a reference to The City, "<i>You wanna find love then you know where the city is...</i>" The simple, airy synth beat makes me want to dance around at 3am with a glass of wine.</div>

When the drums hit in the beginning of <b>She's American</b>, I swear, my stomach HITS THE GROUND! A song about a British man in the U S of A. This is another one with nods to the first album... with a similar beat and parallel lyrics to Settle Down... "<i>A big town. Synthetic apparitions of not being lonely</i>." vs " <i>A small town. Dictating all the people we get around. What a familiar face</i>." and "<i>Oh what a let down</i>" is a line taken straight from the first verse of Settle Down and revisited in the first verse of She's American. "<i>Oh what a let down, a shame, I think he might die</i>."... which I feel is a reference to "The Boston Incident". I think musically, this is the best song on the album. Adam's guitar work is AMAZING and then the sax slides in at the end...C'MON! This one gives me a stroooong MJ vibe and I'm LIVING for it! George is a freaking BRILLIANT producer!! I absolutely cannot sit still whenever this song comes on. I mean if you don't scream "DON'T FALL IN LOVE WITH THE MOMENT AND THINK YOU'RE IN LOVE WITH THE GIRL!" you're honestly doing it wrong!</div>

<b>If I Believe You</b>.... Honestly... this song is a MASTERPIECE!! It starts with sounds of people praising God then that go to church beat kicks in and I'm HOOKED! I picture Matty sitting in a church with all of his questions and doubts watching the faithful. I wasn't sure what I was getting into when we first got the track list. Matty is a VERY vocal atheist so I sort of went into this braced but REALLY stoked for the choir. But LORD this song hits me HARD... even as a Christian. This song is an open, honest conversation between Matty and a God that he doesn't believe in but would be opened to if the suffering stops. He has talked about the fact that he wishes that he could be more spiritual many times and even though I know God exists, i still find myself relating to this song. By the time we get to the end of the song, i'm in tears... ALWAYS. "<i>If I'm lost, then how can I find myself?</i>" it's quiet but to me seems like a screamed plea. Ugh it's beautiful and honest and... uggggghhhhhhh! It is also the perfect transition into the next phase of this album.</div>

<b>Please Be Naked</b> is quite possibly the most BEAUTIFUL thing i've ever heard! It takes people with not just talent, but a real musical GIFT to create an instrumental piece that evokes SO MANY emotions. I want to cry and laugh and just...feel whenever I listen to it!! It reminds me of a mix between HSNCC and Moon (from the Drive Like I Do era). It sounds like love, and magic, and waking up with the person you love... did I say magic??</div>

Then, it has the AUDACITY to flow into <b>Lostmyhead</b> which is just as instrumentally beautiful for 45 seconds before it hits us old fans with the lost my head bit from Facedown. "<i>And you said, I've lost my head. Can you see it? Belly aches while you're in bed. Can you feel it?</i>" repeats as a buildup to The Ballad of Me and My Brain and a head first dive into Matty's mental state.</div>

<b>The Ballad Of Me And My Brain</b>.... *deep breath*... Quite possibly my favorite on the album!! First of all, it sounds like it should be a Drive Like I Do song... well the opening sounds like Frozen, but I'm not complaining. I LOVE FROZEN! The opening line... MATTHEW! Who gave you the right?!?! I love that raspy scream that he does. (Probably the result of the chain smoking.) The beginning of the song makes you think that, as the song suggests, it will be a pretty ballad about The Noodle's metal health.. NOOOPE! This song HITS you like a TRUCK! It's an odd little tale about an erratic search for Matty's lost mind told over a powerful drum that reminds me of a frantic, crashing heartbeat. George kills me! I haven't been this obsessed with a song... well... since Robbers!</div>

<b>Somebody Else</b> is another that I first heard on the last tour. This song is such a jam. It starts slowly and builds into a snarky 80's number about that feeling at the end of the relationship where you're just kind of over it but you're not ready to see them with someone else. The breakdown at the bridge evokes a lot of Healy-esque hair flips. It's the lyrical version of a neck roll and z snap. This song is sassy and snappy and I adore it.</div>

Lyrically, I think <b>Loving Someone</b> is the BEST song on the album. The verses are fast and rap like and are to a similar beat to those of So Far (It's Alright). There are a lot of words in each verse that I'm still trying to commit to memory(such a mouthful) but when you actually listen, they're a powerful observation of what our society has become. I love a song that mean something and this song MEANS SOMETHING!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Which is my personal favorite as it seems to touch on the refugee situation that people seem to have forgotten about. It's also a parallel to lyrics from Talk! <i>"I'd be an anchor but i'm scared you'd drown, it's safer on the ground.</i>"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><i><br></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The song closes with a muted spoken word bit with gems like...</span></div>

The title track,<b> I Like It When You Sleep, For You Are So Beautiful Yet So Unaware Of It </b>is a doozy. It's predominantly instrumental and like I said with Please Be Naked, it takes a real gift to evoke emotion from an instrumental track. This is a six minutes and twenty six seconds emotional roller coaster! It starts off very daintily but in a sort of futuristic way, if that makes sense. Before Matty softly asks us, "<i>Before you go, turn the big light off</i>". The next phase of this songs always reminds me of a ring tone from the early 2000s it also feels like standing in the middle of a rushing city like Manhattan or Tokyo. The tempo picks up into a techno/edm/dance beat and by the end of the song, i'm exhausted.</div>

This is the part of the album where The 1975 take their whole 80s John Hughes film soundtrack thing to the next level. <b>This Must Be My Dream</b> and <b>Paris </b>SCREAM Sixteen Candles. Musically they are the type of songs that would be played during the life changing school dance where Molly Ringwald is looking fantastic in an outfit that I wish that I owned. This Must Be My Dream starts with another vocal kick to the face. Honestly every time the line "<i>We can't make love when you fly around me baby.</i>" comes around, I melt a little. That voice, man. The <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AapntejZ_XA" target="_blank">first time</a> I listened to Paris, the thing that stood out the most was how upbeat the music was and how dark the lyrics actually are. (Now that I think about it, both songs are that way). This is another one that dips into drug use and that whole scene... and a girl met at a party that's "a pain in the nose" *wink*. All of that aside this is another tune that I would dance to at 3am with a bottle of wine. (I said glass earlier didn't I?... oops)</div>

Excuse me whilst I go grab a fresh box of tissues. In the four weeks that this album has been out, I haven't been able to get through <b>Nana</b> and <b>She Lays Down</b> without the waterworks. I knew when I first saw the track listing that Nana was going to be a lot for me. I knew there would never be a situation where I would be able to get through a song about the death of Matty's grandmother without my heart being ripped out... I was right! The song is soft and sweet and simple. There's this innocence about the lyrics and Matthew's voice. I don't know if that makes sense. At the end of the song he sings, "<i>But I'm bereft you see.I think you can tell I haven't been doing too well</i>" and his voice cracks... needless to say, I lost it... Needless to say, I'm crying right now. The emotion is a bit overwhelming. This get even more emotionally overwhelming as the album comes to a close with She Lays Down which is about Matty's mother's battle with post natal depression and how "<i>In the end, she chose cocaine But it couldn't fix her brain</i>." The song is completely acoustic and when I listen to it, I picture Matty sitting on a kitchen floor by himself playing it. It's raw and vulnerable and feels like we're witnessing a real moment. Matthew's voice is honestly so beautiful... the way he sings the line "<i>Over the water, Over terrain. The engines all go bust, we turned to dust and I've no reason to complain..." </i>simultaneously warms and breaks my heart. She Lays Down is a beautiful end to an impeccable album!</div>

Hello My Loves and Happy New Year!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We are currently in the throes of winter and I've been basically LIVING in the same two sweatshirts since the temperature dropped. Last month was pretty glorious though... if you can look past the whole climate change thing. Buttttttt for my last two events of the year, it was nice to not have to bundle. I will admit that I am an outfit repeater *GASP* but I'm so in love with this outfit that I couldn't help myself.</div>

First up was <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WJj4cATHGRI" target="_blank">The 1975</a> ! Yes on December 5th, almost exactly a year after I saw them the first time, I got to see my favorite band again!! It was absolutely INCREDIBLE !! I can't wait for 'I Like It When You Sleep For You Are So Beautiful Yet So Unaware Of It." next month! <img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitYjXo8v8UKMXBVRzkh_vvgYqoZELHfUKWXA31urZ3_bcKblxdetcNl6Ovdk_VqxauFYSI7ha5Zy9CXFaXsnsD-a9CloUAPyjHRqKZwb6WIs4Wvo5_MrpvJwIh0DLcBgl_vnBOcy5cRBg/s640/blogger-image--1076668801.jpg"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKyDKFcrYy9QOKef5Q0qMjuGrR4S6eNVSZtmSWAbwp39HTyCjnRBVIQPFqLUfsgmFyIYJxPxRHZRBLeAyu9zZ8VdKDX_NnCV0r8TrAMA7LYLDhdoky2b-ykc8RNDmjahLMD3kdq3Sr8-0/s640/blogger-image-385737450.jpg"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiT36tlfgyAwP-3fkNw4IejFzeBgPWZ-3KoWI0TWq9RG5BEtRa3FMpCdJeHZyHdzVfgZXRyXCXA0eWGbEKb_R5tMGgcQ7hKJ62baDYPqXtTHxIxca4j8inJ385zpJpXgHi5mnsOZOs5l3M/s640/blogger-image-606845473.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a></div>

Anywho... This outfit actually started with a pair of shorts. I fell in love with the faux leather shorts when I saw them hanging in Forever21 and bought them for my birthday. Even back in September my intent was to wear them to the 1975. The boots, which have quickly become my favorite pair of shoes were bought with the same thought. The addition of the jacket was a happy accident. When my mom found it and became instantly obsessed, I was very hesitant about wearing it to the concert. I LOVED it but I didn't want it to look like I was trying to hard or trying to be Matty. Well needless to say, I tried it on with the rest of the outfit and there was NO GOING BACK! I mean if you're going to accidentally make whale noises at a member of your favorite band, at least look cute doing it.</div>

A few weeks later, I was back at Jacqueline's for The 2nd annual <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L56Ocm4b9Kg" target="_blank">Have Yourself A Pop Punk Christmas Party</a> What an appropriate place to repeat my concert outfit... at a party where we formed the first The 1975 cover band! It was a bit colder so I added some sparkly leg warmers. It was overall a great night spent with great people, music, cupcakes and puppies. That's all I really need in life. </div>

An entire novel in a month? Amber are you crazy? Yes, maybe I am. But as of yesterday I hit the goal of 50,000 words! I never thought I'd make it! </div>

If you are familiar with Philly eats, there is a good chance you've heard of Beiler's Donuts in the Reading Terminal Market. Unless of course you're like me... a born and raised Philadelphian that has never heard of the place. I know! I mean, it's not like I'm not at Reading Terminal frequently! Anywho... I've finally seen the light! These might just be the BEST donut's I've EVER had! And at just 90 cents a donut... does it get better than that?!?<br />

<b>Cinnamon Sugared Pumpkin Creme</b>: This is one of the few donuts without creme on the top. Instead it is dusted with cinnamon sugar. This may make them seem plain and simple but then you get to the creme! It took me a few bites to get to the filling. In most cases, with other donuts, that would really bother me...but not this time. Where most donuts that I've had in the past have just tasted like dry bread without any sort of flavor. These however tasted soooo yummy. Still dessert! And the filling... OMG!!! Sooo rich, so full of flavor, and not too sweet! The perfect mouthful of pumpkin heaven!!</div>

<b>Oreo Creme: </b>Oreos are my favorite cookies... Oreos are my favorite in general! Oreo cupcakes, milkshakes, cookies and cream ice cream. I. LOVE. OREOS. Needless to say, I LOVE these donuts! I was not at all disappointed! The creme filling is what I wish the frosting on the<a href="http://dancinginthestagelights.blogspot.com/2015/10/why-did-no-one-tell-me-that-there-is.html" target="_blank"> Oreo cupcake from Carlo's was</a>. Like I mentioned with the previous donut, the creme is not too sweet so it doesn't taste super processed and artificial! It's the perfect consistency. The donut itself tastes like an Oreo when you bite it and the cookie and cream comes together and you realize that you just made the best decision of your day!</div>

<b>Maple Bacon</b>: I am a bacon lover so the Maple Bacon donuts are my personal favorite!! If you are not really into bacon, these might not be for you but I am in LOVE with them!! First of all, let's talk about the bacon itself... a lot of the time bacon flavored foods have an artificial taste to them. The bacon on these donuts is so fresh and well cooked! It also gives the donut that salty/sweet contrast and I love it. The maple creme is to die for...The donut is topped AND filled with it. The bacon also balances out the super sweetness of maple syrup. All in all, this donut is an autumn miracle!!</div>

I've been sitting on this gem for a year now!</div>
<br />
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Last year for my birthday gift from Ulta, I received this Calvin Klein One mascara. I was very hesitant to try it... I didn't know anything about Calvin Klein cosmetics and I didn't want to pretend to love something simply because of the brand.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So after hemming and hawing and losing it in my makeup case, I finally decided to take it out while I was playing around with some looks. I just... I feel like I've just wasted SO MUCH TIME avoiding an AMAZING product!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
First of all, let me take a second to talk about the wand... this magical, multi purpose wand! I ADORE it!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Twist it to the right and it shrinks into a wand perfect for volumizing and creating a great curl.</div>
<br /></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Twist it to the left and it stretches into a lengthening wand... and lengthen it does!!</div>

I really like to start with a coat the short brush to create nice volume and then I build up the look with a couple of coats with the brush stretched out . I absolutely love the fact that this mascara doesn't really flake off. I'm a notorious mascara picker. With most mascaras I get maybe two hours into wearing it and it starts falling into my eyes but Calvin Klein One stays put until I decide to wash it off and even then, it takes a bit of work to get it off!</div>

I have been a fan of Cake Boss for AGES! I tell everyone that when I get married, I want Buddy to make my cake... yes, even without ever tasting anything that he's made. I've been planning to take a trip to Carlo's in Hoboken but I never seem to be able to get there!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For the past few months, my mother and I have been riding by a bakery in Center City and saying that we need to go in. I never really focused on said bakery, I was just game because bakeries and baked goods are MY LIFE!! You can imagine how stoked I was when we finally got off the bus to go in and I realized that THERE IS NOW A CARLO'S BAKERY IN PHILADELPHIA!<br />
Guys, I AM IN LOVE!!!!!<br />

The first time I went in I had the HARDEST time deciding what to try first! Luckily I was with my mom so we each got something and nibbled from each other's plates. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My mother got an apple turnover</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I splurged a little and got not only a cupcake, but my FIRST EVER cannoli!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now Oreo cupcakes are my personal favorite to bake and when I saw Oreo cupcakes in the display case, I may have gotten a little TOO excited! The cake itself was GLORIOUS! It was a rich chocolate ... I just wish there were actual Oreos throughout and not just in the icing! I didn't particularly love the frosting but I think that's just a personal preference. I don't really like whipped cream frosting. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As for the cannoli.... HOW have I never had one before?!?!?<br />
The filling was sooo creamy and sweet and just HEAVENLY! I feel like I've been missing out!!</div>

So I've been told that clumpy lashes are back!!<br />
Well, don't I feel ahead of the curve... my lashes ALWAYS look like something out of the 60s!!<br />
If you know me or follow me on <a href="https://instagram.com/officiallyamberdior/" target="_blank">Instagram</a>, you'll know that there are few things I love more than a good mascara! A good DRUGSTORE mascara to be more specific!! I actually don't think I own any high end mascaras... oops. Anywho, I've recently found two that I have fallen HEAD OVER HEELS IN LOVE with!<br />

First and foremost <b>L'Oreal's Miss Manga Rock</b> which is my favorite of the two! I've always been obsessed with the original Miss Manga mascara so when this one came out, I was all about it! Of course when I finally made the purchase and it came time to wear it for the first time I had to ask myself, " Did you NEED to own this so badly because it was a promising product or was it just because you liked the first one so much?" and "Is this really going to be any different than the original?" but as soon as I removed the brush from the tube, compared it to the original and saw that they were very different... I was all the way back on board and boy am I glad?!?<br />
I was promised extremely voluminous lashes with an edgy, spiky, "punky" twist... I was NOT disappointed! I have naturally long and curly lashes but... my lashes have NEVER looked so good!!<br />

Next is <b>Maybelline's The Colossal Chaotic Lash</b>. With this mascara I was promised, as the name suggests, chaos... "a perfectly sexy mess". This mascara delivers! It gives me volume, and when the curved brush is used vertically... beautiful disorganization. It is the perfect mix of Twiggy and Grunge Princess! Yes, Please and Thank you!!</div>

<br />
Right.... okay then......<br />
<br />
Well in that case, I'd like to wish a Happy Father's Day to my mother-<br />
<br />
"Amber WTF are you talking about? And how did you not know that it was Father's Day?"<br />
<br />
Well my little nuggets, I don't really keep track of this day. Nor have I ever really celebrated it. You see, my Dad died just before my fifth birthday. I don't remember having a father so I don't really have a reason to celebrate.<br />
<br />
Don't get me wrong... I'm not saying this from a "pity me" stand point. I don't need pity. I don't really feel like I've missed out on anything. My mom has done quite the job of being both parents for the last 20 years. She has worked hard to provide me with anything that I might need. She has surrounded me with people to fill any sort of void that I might ever feel. She has also taught me how to be a decent human, how to be independent as well as anything that a father is "supposed" to teach their daughters. YAY MOMMY!<br />

I hope you didn't read that with any sort of bitterness... there was no bitterness. I've read a few articles lately about people/girls raised without a father... I've never really related to any of that. I don't feel abandoned or rejected. I don't really feel like I'm missing anything or have a part of me that's missing. Maybe that's just me. I can't feel that way though because my Dad didn't CHOOSE to leave me. My mom always reminds me that he ALWAYS wanted me, that he ALWAYS provided for me and that he ALWAYS loved me.<br />
<br />
So maybe I should celebrate that huh??<br />
<br />
Anywho... I hope you all are having a great Father's Day and that you're celebrating. Whether it's with your Father, Mother, Uncle, or Brother... whoever is most important in your life<br />

So with summer finally rolling around, I figured it's the perfect time to do some Philly exploring ...My absolute favorite thing about Philadelphia is the mix of upscale city and historic landmark.<br />

<span style="line-height: 2;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">i’ve got a twenty dollar bill that says</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 2;">you couldn’t scare me if you wanted to.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="line-height: 2;">we could die in this moment & live for the thrill,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="line-height: 2;">we’ll be the outsiders,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="line-height: 2;">we’ll bring it back to life.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 2;">stay golden,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 2;">stay broken,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 2;">miserably happy in the lives we’ve chosen.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 2;"><br /></span></div>
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Everyone has that something that they feel they can’t live without. For some people it’s coffee… or caffeine in general. For others it’s the internet… For me, it’s music!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Not even just listening to music but, LIVE music… the entire EXPERIENCE of music.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I went to see Paradise Fears on Saturday (gosh I just love them). They opened for Andy Grammer at the TLA. Now, as I’m sure you know, this was not my first time seeing them live…. it sure felt that way though. I guess it had a lot to do with being there with my friends, all of which I met at a concert… But I think it’s just PF themselves. It’s everything that they bring onstage. It’s the way they pour themselves out for us to absorb! It’s how emotionally attached they are to their songs and the way every single person in the room is attached to the words, the feeling, the moment. It’s a high like no other.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I think it’s who they are as people… Sam Miller is quite possibly the greatest, most special person I’ve ever encountered in MY LIFE! As dramatic as it sounds, I feel so lucky that he even recognizes me when he sees me. He’s such a ray of sunshine and I pray that he never changes! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I remember right before they took the stage, Jackie asking me why we were so excited as if we’d never seen them before. My answer was “ I don’t know but I feel like Max(her dog) every time someone walks into your house. All ‘HI! HEY! NOTICE ME! LOVE ME!’” I just want them to love me! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I’m not really sure what I’m saying but it’s so incredible what music can do. Who it can bring together. how it can change your life!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> “Music Is The Closest Thing We Have To Magic”</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
I think the title of this post is pretty self explanatory!!! If you watch my <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/amberdiorable" target="_blank">videos</a> ( you really, REALLY, should) you saw where I popped into the slice of Heaven on Earth that is Lush. I need to point out that I ONLY went in for THREE of the Halloween bath dealies before they were gone for the season. ONLY THREE!! Welllll much to my mother's dismay and with the help of the lovely lady who works there, Anyé, I... well... went overboard.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Yes, I know that Halloween season is now over and some of theses beauts are no longer in stock, but I just had to share! Who knows, this might be helpful for next year!! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Now this one isn't a halloween bath bomb but because my store was out of Northern lights, I was led to Granny Takes a dip which gives a similar effect with the coloring and whatnot. I've used this one and I find the <span style="line-height: 21px;">lemon oil, spicy black pepper and fresh ginger oil</span><span style="line-height: 21px;"> scent is is quite relaxing! And it's so </span><span style="line-height: 21px;">psychedelically pretty!</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">This little dude reminds me of the Disney Fantasia hat!

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Another Bubble bar!! Also, a one of the things I actually went in there for!! I would suggest breaking this bad boy in half and getting two baths out of it!! First of all, can we talk about the shimmering gold... ness of this. All I keep thinking is *sings* Shining Shimmering Splendid. Second, to quote directly from the website , "<span style="line-height: 21px;">juniperberry, grapefruit and lime oils will fill the room with an enticing, cocktail-like punch" YES PLEASE!! I am quite the fan of a good cocktail!!</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">I believe this is actually a Christmas item but... oh well. I'm quite excited to use this one! It's a bath melt that's made with organic shea butter and extra virgin coconut oil to soften your skin.It's made with zesty ginger, lavender and lime oil because why not?!? Also, also, ALSOOOOO... Apparently, when you crush it under the running water, it TURNS THE WATER TURQUOISE!! YESSSSSS!!!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Another Christmas product! oops! I sometimes suffer with a bad case of the chaps ( chapped lips) especially during colder weather, so an exfoliating lip scrub that you can simply lick off is a MUST. And it's Cola flavored you say? Double check!!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">This is one of the bath bombs I was most excited for! It is filled with glitter and popping candies AND it's rose jam scented!! The one I bought had broken in half by the time I got home so I popped a piece in the tub and WOW! Even just half of it is GORGEOUS!! It's like a fireworks display in the bathtub! I'm OBSESSED!!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Northern Lights is what I wanted most when I walked into Lush! I'd seen so many videos and heard so many good things! But alas, my store was OUT! However, I discovered that many of the gift boxes have it inside! Poptastic being one of them ! The other bath bomb in Poptastic is Sparkler so... WIN! Let's discuss the fact that when you place Northern Lights in your bath water, popping candies crack and fizzle as your water turns blue and green and you could very well be in jasmine and ylang ylang-scented Alaska watching the Aurora Borealis! I'm saving this for last! SWEET GOODNESS GRACIOUS !</span></div>

Friday was the day I've been waiting for since I got home from our excursion's last year!! HALLOWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEENNNNNN!!!!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was especially stoked for this year because I made my costume myself.... well, mostly (my mom did the top) I decided to fulfill my life long dream and for a day I was Princess Tiger Lily of Neverland! I love Peter Pan, maybe a little too much. And I loooooove Tiger Lily! I like to tell myself that I'm a descendant (yes, I'm aware that she is a fictional character) According to Disney, Tiger Lily is of the Blackfoot tribe and my family has Blackfoot in our blood!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Anywho...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My mother and I kept our newly formed tradition and headed into the city. We made a quick trip to Lush, where I did a bit of damage (more on that soon), and headed to South Street. I may or may not have been holding out hope that I would run into a cute guy dressed as Peter Pan... no such luck. To my utter dismay, maybe 3 people aside from us were dressed in costume. So we moseyed our way on over to the Spirits of' 76 ghost tour. We wanted to do a different one than last year. While the stops on the tour were basically the same, our tour guide (Alex) was really cute! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I can't wait until next year!! Maybe I'll be brave enough to tackle ESP or stay overnight at Fort Mifflin !</div>

If you have never seen PF live, you are SERIOUSLY missing out! These guys are beyond talented and I swear every time I see them, they are better than the last time. The only word I can think of to describe this last show is INTENSE! It was truly an experience. I got goosebumps so many times. I actually don’t think that’s ever happened before… and I go to a lot of shows. </span></span><br />
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">There is absolutely nothing like that moment when the artists are giving absolutely EVERYTHING on that stage and the crowd is giving everything right back. You can literally feel the energy flowing between you! It’s like Sam said, “ I feel really in it right now”. I feel so alive. Being in the middle of a crowd where there’s this unity… everyone is screaming the Sanctuary speech at the top of their lungs… there’s nothing like it! </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">That’s when it usually happens for me, during Sanctuary, when I just feel it. Like I’m in the middle of something truly POWERFUL. Like if I don’t scream the lyrics, I might burst. And I think everyone must feel that way because it’s like in that moment everyone is on the same wavelength, the same energy is being shared. It’s coursing through all of us. It’s like a tangible moment. There are tears and Sam has this look on his face like he just knows… He knows he’s a part of something truly special. Paradise Fears is truly special!</span></span><br />

Simply because I was very happy with how everything turned out and I kinda wanted to show my costume off.</span></span><br />
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Anywho...</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">This past Halloween was the first Halloween in YEARS where I actually dressed up! For the past two years I had been planning my costume, I just never had anywhere to go. I read a lot of books about fallen angels so that’s what I was this year ! I was so excited when my mom agreed to go out with me! Not only did she go with me, but she went in costume! She went as Johnny Depp’s version of the Mad Hatter (I thought she was Elton John). The original plan was for us to head to Eastern State Penitentiary for Terror Behind the Walls. Wellllllllll, needless to say, I chickened out! We ended up going on a ghost tour in Olde City! It was so much fun but creepy at the same time! I hope this is a new tradition because even though I could feel the hairs on the back of my neck at end the whole time, I’d do it again and again and again!! </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Earlier this month, I got to spend the weekend with some of my favorite people ever! My buds James and Stephen aka Fourth and Coast were finally back on the East Coast (they’re from San Diego) on their house party tour. I’m so glad that I got to see them two days in a row, I had a blast! </span></span><br />

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Friday we were at Jackie’s house! Give me a fire pit , sparklers, and good music and I am like a puppy who got a pile of bones for Christmas! </span></span><br />
