Oh How I Missed Thee

BUSY does not even begin to describe my spring schedule. I'm really trying to learn how to balance school, work, having a social life, and keeping my blog up and poppin.
I'm really sorry about the neglect. This blog is my baby and honestly it saddens me that I've been paying it no attention.
I have a LOT of updates for you involving fashion hauls, love, music, entertainment and much more. LOL but tonight is not the night for me to fill you in on all that information because I have 2 exams next week that I need to study for...and plus I'm watching the Oscars :D

I will definitely keep you updated...I promise.

Book Haul
So as you know I love reading. Despite my obsession with magazines, I also make time for books too lol. My latest read is a book called Room by Emma Donoghue. Room is about a woman who was kidnapped, raped and forced to live in a secluded room in the house of her captor. The abductee also had a son by her abductor and he narrates the novel. So far its good and it gives you a different feeling when the story is told from the little boys perspective. I love thrillers and suspence novels...so this one fit right in to my collection.

*Enjoy Dreamers*

Skins= My New Obsession!!

I've never really been a fan of British television let alone their comedy, sorry but the Monty Pythons didn't "tickle my fancy". But somehow I stumbled upon Britain's finest. The show is called Skins and I've fallen in love with it. I was searching through netflix to find something to watch when i see Skins. Now I thought it was the highly advertised MTV show that supposed to be premiering next week, but it turns out that show is just an American remake of the British show.
Its a teen drama filled with problems, sex, drugs, parties, and more sex lol. I swear i don't know what the tv regulation are in the U.K but the US needs to adapt them. What I like most about the show is that each character has their own story line; each episode focuses on a main character so that you really get to know the ins and outs of each one of them.
From the British slang to their clothes i fell in love with these characters. Theres 4 seasons all together with a 5 one premiering soon this year. Every two seasons we're introduced to a new cast. I'm currently on the third season and I'm convinced the 2nd generation is better lol...I think.
Anyway enough of me rambling on...just please check it out, I promise you'll love it. and look out for the American version as well.

1st Generation

2nd Generation
(second generation is sexier too dont you think?)

Clips: Season 1-2 cast

Season 3-4 Cast

Enjoy Dreamers....♥

When you've got a family like mine....who needs anything else?

"Other things may change us, but we start AND end with family"- Rosaleen Dickson

Christmas and the days following have been great thanks to my family. Honestly no one puts a greater smile on my face than them and whenever we're all together it's nothing but laughter...maybe some arguments here or there but hey we're only human. My Christmas weekend was filled with great food, company, sledding with the greatest nephew in the world, skating at the roller rink, and lastly seeing Meet the Fockers (which i just came from watching). Sorry but please don't waste your money on this movie...its REALLY not worth it. The only reason i went was to see my friends who I havent seen since the summer. I'm trying to soak up as much friends and family time as I can before I have to go back to work.

On another note, I recently became OBSESSED witht the show Grey's Anatomy after my boo forced me to watch it. Unfortunately, that forced viewing was the last episode of the 5th season and they just started the 6th, so I decided I was going to catch up during break and watch every episode leading up to the present...its ADDICTING! I fell in love with the characters and story line so fast, almost like love at first site. But in reality when I first heard of this show I just thought it was another dumb hospital drama, considering how WRONG i was, I now try to give things a chance before assuming the worst.

How were your holidays dreamers?

Paramore Splits?

Yesterday Paramore announced that their lead drummer and guitarist, brothers Josh and Zac Farro, are leaving the group. Supposedly the brothers were unhappy and didn't really seem that into the band for months. Zac is already a part of a new band called The Tunnel...he definitely didn't waste any time.

It's sad because Paramore is one of my favorite rock bands (along with Flyleaf). They were a great team and made amazing songs, but hopefully they will recover from this major split. The remaining members, Lead singer Hayley Williams, Guitarist Taylor York, and Bassist Jeremy Davis have no intention of ending the band. They plan to continue touring and making great music. I hope with these remaining members and hopefully some new ones, they can live up to the Paramore name!

Going Natural?

Its been on my mind for awhile to go back to my natural roots, not  to mention my mother really wants me to do it as well as an acquaintance from school.
The only thing that's holding me back is fear. Fear of going from medium/long hair to barely nothing at all. Now i know there are several choices and ways to go natural one that doesnt even require me to cut my hair off at all, but cutting it off would be the easiest and quickest way to return my hair back to its natural state.
Did I mention its much healthier too! The chemicals used to perm my hair can have life long effects...and NOT the good kind.
But I'm very interested in the new styles I would be able to try with my natural nappy roots and I could always add weave or wear a wig if i really wanted to change it up.

Here are some lovely ladies who have gone the natural route:


Now im not really into locks so ill probably just grow it out  and maybe do some kinky twists if i do decide to go natural.
Here are some hair cut styles I like:



Have any of you dreamers gone natural? Or made a drastic hair change?
If so, how did you build up the confidence to do it??

All I want for Christmas is You.....well maybe those shoes too!

Hey Dreamers,
I'm sorry I've been away. I've been engulfed by the high demands of school, work, and trying to squeeze a social life in between. I really want to get my blog back to normal...back to me writing frequently. I love this blog and it saddens me that I've been neglecting it and my readers.
I will try my best to keep it consistent.
On a brighter note, "Christmas time is here...Can't wait to hear those slay bells ringing"!
Honestly, the only thing i want for xmas is to b home with my family and hopefully see my friends but i feel like work is going to get in the way. It's so demanding but I love making money....idk we'll see. As far as gifts, I'm not really expecting anything. In my house were a lil too old to be receiving big gifts, now its like the occassional stuff you need like slippers or gloves. Its cute that my grandparents still give money in envelopes though. I just love being around my family and cant wait to see them...I wouldnt trade them for the world♥
I Loveeeeee CHRISTMAS TIME!!
From the songs to the candy....I love it.
Remember how exciting and thrilling Christmas was when we were kids and how Santa was the greatest person known to man. I know we all wished that we could visit the North Pole and personally deliver our lists to him...♥

What do you love about Christmas?
And if you celebrate another Holiday, what do you love about it?
